Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of communications, and more particularly to a method, system and device for implementing MBMS minimizing drive test configuration. Background technique
- the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) is in the Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN, including Base Station Node B and Radio Network Controller RNC) and evolved. Version 10 of the Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN, including Evolved Base Station eNB) system introduced the Minimization of Drive Test (MDT) function.
- the core network (CN) corresponding to the UTRAN includes a Host Subscriber Server (HSS), a Mobile Switching Center Server (MSC), a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN), and the like.
- the CN corresponding to the E-UTRAN includes an HSS, a Mobility Management Entity (MME), and the like.
- UE user equipment
- RAN radio access network
- OAM Operation and Maintenance System
- TCE Trace Collection Entity
- the MDT function is divided into management-based MDT and signaling-based MDT.
- the activation process of the management-based MDT is usually (taking the E-UTRAN system as an example).
- the OAM sends a tracking activation message including the MDT configuration to the eNB, and the eNB selects an appropriate UE in the area specified by the message, and sends the MDT configuration information to the eNB. Selected UE.
- the activation process of the signaling-based MDT is to send, by the OAM, a tracking activation message including an MDT configuration to the HSS to activate the MDT measurement of the specified UE, and the HSS sends the MDT configuration information of the UE to the MME, and the MME sends the MDT configuration information of the UE to the MME.
- the eNB, the eNB finally sends the MDT configuration information to the UE.
- the signaling-based MDT typically specifies an UE with an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) or International Mobile Station Equipment Identity (IMEI), or adds zone information to limit UE selection.
- IMSI International Mobile Subscriber Identity
- IMEI International Mobile Station Equipment Identity
- Both the management-based MDT and the signaling-based MDT activation message contain tracking reference information from the OAM, which consists of Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) information consisting of a Mobile Country Code (MCC) and a Mobile Network Code (MNC).
- PLMN Public Land Mobile Network
- MCC Mobile Country Code
- MNC Mobile Network Code
- the MDT function can be divided into two modes, idle state and connected state, according to its working state, specifically "Logged MDT", and "immediate minimization of road test ( immediate MDT),”. Recording the configuration of minimizing the drive test requires the terminal to enter the connection state (RRC connect), and the access network device performs the configuration of minimizing the drive test by using RRC dedicated signaling, the UE saves the configuration, and is idle in the access radio resource control.
- RRC connect connection state
- RRC dedicated signaling the UE saves the configuration, and is idle in the access radio resource control.
- the E-UTRAN system refers to the RRC IDLE state; for the UTRAN system also includes the cell paging channel status and the UTRAN registration area.
- the related measurement information is collected and stored for reporting when the radio access network (RAN) command is received.
- the radio access network After receiving the data, the radio access network aggregates or directly forwards the data to the TCE.
- the UE collects relevant measurement information in the RRC connection state (refer to the RRC-CONNECTED state for the E-UTRAN system; refers to the cell-specific channel state for the UTRAN system), and actively uploads the report when the report meets the reporting condition.
- Radio access network After receiving the report, the radio access network aggregates or directly transmits the report to the TCE.
- MDT only supports MDT measurement based on unicast signal, but does not support measurement based on multicast signal, that is, does not support MDT function for MBMS; on the other hand, related technology has provided measurement of MBMS performance.
- Some measurement quantities such as the received power of the multicast single frequency network reference signal (MBSFN) (MBSFN RSRP), the MBSFN reception quality (RSRQ), and the multicast channel packet loss rate (MCH BLER).
- MBSFN RSRP is: measuring the linear average of the power of the resource unit in which the MBSFN reference signal is located in the frequency bandwidth;
- MBSFN RSRQ is: the ratio of MBSFN RSRP and the received signal strength indication;
- MBSFN BLER is: based on the evaluation
- CRC cyclic redundancy check
- MCH multicast channel
- the terminal can obtain the measurement quantity of the frequency point. If the operator further analyzes the measurement quantity information, the actual deployment situation of the MBMS service can be known; It is determined whether there is a service hole, and whether there is information such as the need to enable and disable the MBMS cell for an MBSFN.
- a certain frequency for example, an MBSFN
- the MDT function in the 3GPP version does not support the MDT configuration of the idle mode terminal, and the terminal supporting the MBMS function in the 3GPP version can accept the MBMS service in the idle state. And in practical applications, a large number of MBMS terminals are empty. Accept MBMS business in idle state. Therefore, it is necessary for the MDT function to be extended to a terminal that can configure an idle state to support an MBMS service.
- a relatively straightforward method is to use the broadcast channel to configure the MDT parameters, and the terminal performs the MDT measurement after receiving it.
- configuring a large number of MDT parameters through the broadcast channel consumes too much resources occupied by the common channel, and from a security point of view, since there is no user confirmation information of the idle terminal on the network side, it is impossible to confirm which terminals can perform MDT measurement.
- the 3GPP protocol stipulates that the network side cannot know whether the terminal accepts the MBMS service and/or the MBMS service information. Therefore, the network side cannot accurately determine which terminals can configure the MBMS MDT.

Description
一种实现 MBMS最小化路测配置的方法、 系统及设备 技术领域 本发明涉及通信领域, 尤指一种实现 MBMS最小化路测配置的方法、 系 统及设备。 背景技术
为了降低运营商利用专用设备进行人工路测的成本和复杂性, 第三代伙 伴组织计划 (3GPP )在通用陆地无线接入网 (UTRAN, 包括基站 Node B和 无线网络控制器 RNC )和演进的通用陆地无线接入网( E-UTRAN, 包括演进 基站 eNB ) 系统的版本 10开始引入最小化路测 ( Minimization of Drive Test , 简称 MDT )功能。 UTRAN对应的核心网( CN )包括宿主用户服务器( HSS )、 移动交换中心服务器( MSC )、服务的 GPRS支持节点( SGSN )等。 E-UTRAN 对应的 CN包括 HSS、 移动管理实体(MME )等。 最小化路测功能利用用户 设备(UE ) 自动收集测量信息、 通过控制面信令报告给无线接入网 (RAN ) (对于 UTRAN系统指 RNC, 对于 E-UTRAN系统指 eNB ) , 再通过无线接 入网报告给操作维护系统(或称网管系统)( OAM )的跟踪收集实体( TCE ) , 用于网络优化(如发现及解决网络覆盖问题) 。
MDT功能分为基于管理的 MDT和基于信令的 MDT。 基于管理的 MDT 的激活过程通常是 (以 E-UTRAN系统为例 ) OAM发送包含 MDT配置的跟 踪激活消息给 eNB, eNB在该消息规定的区域内选择合适的 UE, 并将 MDT 配置信息发送给选中的 UE。 基于信令的 MDT的激活过程是由 OAM发送包 含 MDT配置的跟踪激活消息给 HSS以激活指定 UE的 MDT测量, HSS将 UE的 MDT配置信息发送给 MME, MME将该 UE的 MDT配置信息发送给 eNB, eNB最终将 MDT配置信息发送给 UE。 基于信令的 MDT通常用国际 移动用户标识 (IMSI )或国际移动站设备标识(IMEI )来指定某个 UE, 或 加上区域信息以限制 UE的选择。 基于管理的 MDT和基于信令的 MDT激活 消息中都包含来自 OAM的跟踪参考信息, 由其中包含移动国家码(MCC ) 和移动网络码 ( MNC )组成的公共陆地移动网络( PLMN )信息组成。
MDT 功能按照其工作状态可以分为空闲态和连接态两种模式, 具体为 "记录最小化路测( Logged MDT ),,和 "立即最小化路测( immediate MDT ),,。 记录最小化路测的配置需要终端进入连接态(RRC connect ) , 接入网络设备 通过 RRC 专用信令(dedicated signaling )进行记录最小化路测的配置, UE 保存配置, 并在进入无线资源控制空闲状态 (对于 E-UTRAN 系统指 RRC IDLE状态; 对于 UTRAN系统还包括小区寻呼信道状态和 UTRAN注 册区。 ) 。 当所配置的条件满足时, 收集并存储相关测量信息用于收到无线 接入网 (RAN )命令要求时上报, 无线接入网收到数据后, 汇总或者直接转 发给 TCE。 立即最小化路测指 UE在无线资源控制连接状态(对于 E-UTRAN 系统指 RRC— CONNECTED状态; 对于 UTRAN系统指小区专用信道状态 ) 时收集相关测量信息, 并在报告满足上报条件时主动上传给无线接入网; 无 线接入网接收到报告后, 汇总或者直接将报告传递给 TCE。
相关协议版本中, 一方面 MDT仅支持基于单播信号的 MDT测量, 但不 支持基于多播信号的测量, 即不具备支持针对 MBMS的 MDT功能; 另一方 面, 相关技术已经提供了测量 MBMS性能的一些测量量, 例如组播单频网参 考信号( MBSFN )的接收功率( MBSFN RSRP ) , MBSFN接收质量( RSRQ ) , 多播信道丟包率( MCH BLER )。参考 3GPP文稿 R1-135918中的描述, MBSFN RSRP为:测量频率带宽中 MBSFN参考信号所在资源单元的功率线性平均值; MBSFN RSRQ为: MBSFN RSRP和接受信号强度指示的比率; MBSFN BLER 为: 基于评估组播信道(MCH )传输块的循环冗余检查(CRC )结果, 该值 为一个测量周期内的比率, 比率的分母为 MCH传输块的总数, 比率的分子 为 CRC错误的 MCH传输块数目。 这些测量只能在终端正在解开物理组播信 道( PMCH )的子帧和频率上进行。终端如果在某频点上(例如某个 MBSFN ) 接收 MBMS业务, 则可以获取该频点的测量量, 运营商如果进一步对这些测 量量信息进行分析, 则可以获知 MBMS业务的实际部署情况; 如判断是否存 在业务空洞, 是否存在需要为某 MBSFN开启和关闭 MBMS小区等信息。
从上述内容可以看出, 3GPP版本中 MDT 功能不支持对空闲态 (idle mode )终端进行 MDT配置, 而 3GPP版本中支持 MBMS功能的终端则可以 在空闲态接受 MBMS业务。 并且实际应用中, 大量的 MBMS终端均是在空
闲态下接受 MBMS业务。 因此 MDT功能有必要扩展到支持 MBMS业务的 可以配置空闲态的终端。
目前, 一种比较直接的方法是使用广播信道配置 MDT参数, 终端接收 到后执行 MDT测量。 但是通过广播信道配置大量的 MDT参数会消耗过多 公共信道占用的资源, 且从安全角度上来说, 由于网络侧没有空闲态终端的 用户确认信息, 因此无法确认哪些终端可以执行 MDT测量。 另外, 对连接 态终端, 3GPP协议规定, 网络侧无法获悉终端是否接受 MBMS业务和 /或, MBMS 业务信息。 因此, 网络侧无法准确判断哪些终端可以配置 MBMS MDT。
发明内容 为了解决上述技术问题, 本发明实施例公开了一种实现 MBMS最小化 路测配置的方法、 系统及设备, 能够使处于空闲态的终端接收 MBMS业务 指示消息, 和 /或, MBMS业务信息, 实现使空闲态终端进入连接态, 进行 终端 MBMS MDT配置。 本发明实施例提供一种实现 MBMS最小化路测配置的方法, 包括: 网络侧向小区中的终端广播 /组播无线资源控制协议 RRC 消息到小区中 的终端, 以使处于空闲态的终端进入连接态, 所述 RRC消息包含 MBMS最 小化路测 MDT业务的业务指示信息;
