Description

Automatic switching method, system, base station and user equipment

In this application.

Technical field

本申请涉及无线通信技术领域，尤其涉及一种自动切换方法、系统、基站及用户设备。The present application relates to the field of wireless communications technologies, and in particular, to an automatic handover method, system, base station, and user equipment.

Background technique

MuLTE-Fire是一种将长期演进(Long Term Evolution，LTE)扩展到非授权频段的无线接入技术。这种技术中非授权频段载波可以不借助授权频段载波而独立提供服务。为了与其他在非授权频段设备(如无线相容性认证(Wireless-Fidelity，Wi-Fi)设备)公平占用非授权频段信道及避免非授权频段设备之间的相互干扰，MuLTE-Fire物理层引入类似Wi-Fi的载波监听技术的先听后说(Listen Before Talk，LBT)机制。LBT机制的原理是在基站或用户设备监听到非授权频段信道被占用时，认为LBT失败时，停止发送信号给对端，相反，如果监听到非授权频段信道空闲，认为LBT成功，才发送信号对端。MuLTE-Fire is a wireless access technology that extends Long Term Evolution (LTE) to unlicensed bands. In this technology, unlicensed band carriers can be independently served without the aid of a licensed band carrier. In order to interfere with other unlicensed band devices (such as Wireless-Fidelity (Wi-Fi) devices) in the unlicensed band channel and avoid interference between unlicensed band devices, the MuLTE-Fire physical layer is introduced. A Listening Before Talk (LBT) mechanism similar to Wi-Fi's carrier monitoring technology. The principle of the LBT mechanism is that when the base station or the user equipment monitors that the unlicensed band channel is occupied, when the LBT fails, the signal is stopped to be sent to the opposite end. On the contrary, if the unlicensed band channel is idle, the LBT is considered to be successful, and the signal is sent. Peer.

为了提高LBT机制下基站的下行公共控制信号传输效率，MuLTE-Fire引入了发现参考信号(Discovery Reference Signal，DRS)，DRS包含了主要的下行公共控制信号，如系统广播、主同步信号(Primary Sync Signal，PSS)、辅同步信号(Secondary Sync Signal，SSS)、增强主同步信号(enhanced Primary Sync Signal，ePSS)、增强辅同步信号(enhanced Secondary Sync Signal，eSSS)、小区参考信号(Cell Reference Signal，CRS)、主系统信息块(Master Information Block，MIB)和增强的系统信息块(System Information Block-Multefire，SIB-MF)，其中DRS占用一个下行子帧中的12个或14个符号(Symbol)。用户设备可以在发现信号测量时间配置(Discovery Signals Measurement Timing Configuration，DMTC)窗口内获取DRS、MIB和SIB-MF。MulteFire小区只在DRS子帧或者其他有物理下行共享信道(Physical Downlink Shared Channel，PDSCH)发送的子帧发送CRS，因此用户设备可以仅在DMTC窗口内对MuLTE-Fire服务小区或MuLTE-Fire邻小区进行信道测量，用于小区选择、小区重选或切换。基站可以向用户设备分别发送服务小区、同频邻小区以及异频邻小区的DMTC信息。In order to improve the downlink common control signal transmission efficiency of the base station under the LBT mechanism, MuLTE-Fire introduces a Discovery Reference Signal (DRS), which contains the main downlink common control signals, such as system broadcast and primary synchronization signal (Primary Sync). Signal, PSS), Secondary Sync Signal (SSS), Enhanced Primary Sync Signal (ePSS), Enhanced Secondary Sync Signal (eSSS), Cell Reference Signal, Cell Reference Signal, CRS), Master Information Block (MIB) and Enhanced System Information Block-Multefire (SIB-MF), where DRS occupies 12 or 14 symbols in a downlink subframe (Symbol) . The user equipment can obtain DRS, MIB, and SIB-MF in the Discovery Signals Measurement Timing Configuration (DMTC) window. The MulteFire cell sends the CRS only in the DRS subframe or other subframes that are transmitted by the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH). Therefore, the user equipment can only use the MuLTE-Fire serving cell or the MuLTE-Fire neighboring cell in the DMTC window. Channel measurements are made for cell selection, cell reselection or handover. The base station may separately send the DMTC information of the serving cell, the intra-frequency neighboring cell, and the inter-frequency neighboring cell to the user equipment.

当位于MuLTE-Fire小区的用户设备的测量结果满足切换条件时，若根据LBT机制用户设备监听到信道被占用，用户设备将不能发送测量报告给基站，同样，MuLTE-Fire小区所属基站收到用户设备的测量报告后，若根据LBT机制监听到信道被占用，基站将不能发送切换命令给用户设备，从而导致切换延时过大。因此，在现有的MuLTE-Fire系统中支持一种用户设备的自动切换方案，当用户设备检测到自动切换的测量对象的信号质量满足自动切换的测量报告条件时，向基站发送测量报告并启动自动切换定时器，基站收到该测量报告后向目标小区发起切换准备，当切换准备完成后基站将向用户设备发送切换指令。若用户设备在自动切换定时器超时之前获取到基站发送的切换指令，用户设备根据切换指令切换到切换指令所指示的目标小区；反之，若自动切换定时器超时且用户设备未收到切换指令，则用户设备自主选择目标小区并向自主选择的目标小区发起切换请求。When the measurement result of the user equipment in the MuLTE-Fire cell meets the handover condition, if the user equipment monitors that the channel is occupied according to the LBT mechanism, the user equipment cannot send the measurement report to the base station, and the base station to which the MuLTE-Fire cell belongs receives the user. After the measurement report of the device, if the channel is occupied according to the LBT mechanism, the base station will not be able to send a handover command to the user equipment, resulting in excessive handover delay. Therefore, an automatic switching scheme of a user equipment is supported in the existing MuLTE-Fire system. When the user equipment detects that the signal quality of the automatically switched measurement object satisfies the measurement report condition of the automatic handover, the measurement report is sent to the base station and started. The automatic switching timer, after receiving the measurement report, the base station initiates handover preparation to the target cell, and after the handover preparation is completed, the base station sends a handover instruction to the user equipment. If the user equipment acquires the handover command sent by the base station before the automatic handover timer expires, the user equipment switches to the target cell indicated by the handover instruction according to the handover instruction; otherwise, if the automatic handover timer expires and the user equipment does not receive the handover instruction, Then, the user equipment independently selects the target cell and initiates a handover request to the autonomously selected target cell.

在上述自动切换方案中，满足自动切换的测量报告条件时用户设备上报自动切换的测量报告，启动自动切换定时器，并等待获取切换指令，基站收到自动切换的测量报告时发起切换准备，因此用户设备和基站都需要知道自动切换的测量配置，即知道何时开始自动切换。然而，现有技术中，基站无法使用户设备知道哪个是针对自动切换的测量配置，这样用户设备无法进行自动切换。因此，需要一种方法使基站和用户设备知道自动切换的测量配置，以实现用户设备可以进行自动切换。In the above automatic switching scheme, when the measurement report condition of the automatic handover is met, the user equipment reports the measurement report of the automatic handover, starts the automatic handover timer, and waits for the acquisition of the handover instruction, and the base station initiates the handover preparation when receiving the measurement report of the automatic handover. Both the user equipment and the base station need to know the measurement configuration of the automatic handover, that is, know when to start automatic handover. However, in the prior art, the base station cannot make the user equipment know which one is the measurement configuration for the automatic handover, so that the user equipment cannot perform automatic handover. Therefore, there is a need for a method for the base station and the user equipment to know the measurement configuration of the automatic handover so that the user equipment can perform automatic handover.

detailed description

为了更好的理解本申请的技术方案，下面结合附图对本申请实施例进行详细描述。For a better understanding of the technical solutions of the present application, the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

应当明确，所描述的实施例仅仅是本申请一部分实施例，而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例，本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其它实施例，都属于本申请保护的范围。It should be understood that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without departing from the inventive scope are the scope of the present application.

在本申请实施例中使用的术语是仅仅出于描述特定实施例的目的，而非旨在限制本申请。在本申请实施例和所附权利要求书中所使用的单数形式的“一种”、“所述”和“该”也旨在包括多数形式，除非上下文清楚地表示其他含义。The terms used in the embodiments of the present application are for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only, and are not intended to limit the application. The singular forms "a", "the", and "the"

应当理解，本文中使用的术语“和/或”仅仅是一种描述关联对象的关联关系，表示可以存在三种关系，例如，A和/或B，可以表示：单独存在A，同时存在A和B，单独存在B这三种情况。另外，本文中字符“/”，一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。It should be understood that the term "and/or" as used herein is merely an association describing the associated object, indicating that there may be three relationships, for example, A and/or B, which may indicate that A exists separately, while A and B, there are three cases of B alone. In addition, the character "/" in this article generally indicates that the contextual object is an "or" relationship.

应当理解，尽管在本申请实施例中可能采用术语第一、第二等来描述指定时长，但这些指定时长不应限于这些术语。这些术语仅用来将指定时长彼此区分开。例如，在不脱离本申请实施例范围的情况下，第一指定时长也可以被称为第指定时长，类似地，第二指定时长也可以被称为第一指定时长。It should be understood that although the terms first, second, etc. may be used to describe the specified duration in the embodiments of the present application, these specified durations should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the specified durations from each other. For example, the first specified duration may also be referred to as a specified duration if not departing from the scope of the embodiments of the present application. Similarly, the second specified duration may also be referred to as a first specified duration.

取决于语境，如在此所使用的词语“如果”可以被解释成为 “在……时”或“当……时”或“响应于确定”或“响应于检测”。类似地，取决于语境，短语“如果确定”或“如果检测(陈述的条件或事件)”可以被解释成为“当确定时”或“响应于确定”或“当检测(陈述的条件或事件)时”或“响应于检测(陈述的条件或事件)”。Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "when" or "when" or "in response to determining" or "in response to detecting." Similarly, depending on the context, the phrase "if determined" or "if detected (conditions or events stated)" may be interpreted as "when determined" or "in response to determination" or "when detected (stated condition or event) "Time" or "in response to a test (condition or event stated)".

在现有的采用MuLTE-Fire技术的场景下的自动切换方案中，满足自动切换的测量报告条件时用户设备上报自动切换的测量报告，启动自动切换定时器，并等待获取切换指令，基站收到自动切换的测量报告时发起切换准备，因此用户设备和基站都需要知道自动切换的测量配置，但是现有技术中基站即使获知自动切换的测量配置，也无法使用户设备知道哪个是针对自动切换的测量配置，同理，即使用户设备获知自动切换的测量配置，也无法使基站知道哪个是针对自动切换的测量配置，从而导致了用户设备无法进行自动切换。In the automatic switching scheme in the existing scenario of using the UMLTE-Fire technology, when the measurement report condition of the automatic handover is met, the user equipment reports the measurement report of the automatic handover, starts the automatic handover timer, and waits for the acquisition of the handover instruction, and the base station receives When the measurement report is automatically switched, the handover preparation is initiated. Therefore, both the user equipment and the base station need to know the measurement configuration of the automatic handover. However, in the prior art, even if the base station learns the measurement configuration of the automatic handover, the user equipment cannot know which one is for automatic handover. In the measurement configuration, similarly, even if the user equipment learns the measurement configuration of the automatic handover, the base station cannot know which one is the measurement configuration for the automatic handover, thereby causing the user equipment to fail to perform automatic handover.

针对现有技术所存在的基站和用户设备无法都获知自动切换的测量配置，的问题，本方案实施例提供了相应的两种可行的解决思路。For the problem that the base station and the user equipment in the prior art are not aware of the measurement configuration of the automatic handover, the solution of the solution provides two feasible solutions.

方法一是由基站选择出自动切换的测量配置，并通过测量配置消息向用户设备指示自动切换的测量配置。In the first method, the base station selects the measurement configuration of the automatic handover, and indicates the measurement configuration of the automatic handover to the user equipment by using the measurement configuration message.

方法二是由用户设备自主选择自动切换的测量配置，然后通过自动切换指令后向基站指示自动切换的测量配置。The second method is that the user equipment automatically selects the measurement configuration of the automatic handover, and then indicates the measurement configuration of the automatic handover to the base station after automatically switching the instruction.

这两种方式都可以使得用户设备和基站都能知道哪个测量配置是自动切换的测量配置，从而可以获知何时进行自动切换，从而可以保证顺利的完成用户设备的自动切换方案。Both of these methods can make the user equipment and the base station know which measurement configuration is the measurement configuration of the automatic handover, so that it can be known when the automatic handover is performed, so that the automatic handover scheme of the user equipment can be successfully completed.

需要说明的是，本申请实施例可以应用于包括基站和用户设备的系统。该基站和用户设备可以采用上述MuLTE-Fire技术。It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application can be applied to a system including a base station and a user equipment. The base station and user equipment can adopt the above-mentioned MuLTE-Fire technology.

下面是有关方法一的相关描述。The following is a description of Method 1.

The user equipment automatically adjusts the measurement configuration for the identifier as the measurement configuration of the automatic handover, and when the measurement result of the measurement object corresponding to the automatically switched measurement configuration meets the measurement report condition corresponding to the automatically switched measurement configuration, the user equipment switches.

其中，每个测量配置中包含有一个测量配置标识(Measurement Identity)、一个测量对象标识和一个测量报告条件标识，也就是一个测量配置可以对应一个测量对象以及一个测量报告条件，相当于测量配置中用于保存测量配置、测量对象与测量报告条件之间的对应关系。Each measurement configuration includes a measurement identity (Measurement Identity), a measurement object identifier, and a measurement report condition identifier, that is, a measurement configuration can correspond to one measurement object and one measurement report condition, which is equivalent to the measurement configuration.

每个测量对象用于指示用户设备需要测量的目标，可以包括目标频点或者目标小区。Each measurement object is used to indicate a target that the user equipment needs to measure, and may include a target frequency point or a target cell.

每个测量报告条件用于指示用户设备上报测量报告的条件，其中一个测量报告条件可以包含一个测量事件的类型、测量事件的信号质量要求以及测量报告的发送周期和发送次数。Each measurement report condition is used to indicate a condition for the user equipment to report the measurement report, wherein one measurement report condition may include a type of measurement event, a signal quality requirement of the measurement event, and a transmission period and a number of transmission times of the measurement report.

The second feasible implementation solution is applied to the completely automatic switching scenario, that is, the user equipment can The measurement report is sent to the base station, but the automatic switching timer is not started to receive the handover command.

下面对第一种可行的实现方案进行举例说明。The first feasible implementation is illustrated below.

请参考图2，其为本申请实施例所提供的用户设备切换至目标小区的一种方法的流程示意图，如图2所示，该方法包括：Please refer to FIG. 2 , which is a schematic flowchart of a method for a user equipment to switch to a target cell according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2 , the method includes:

201、用户设备根据测量配置消息，确定自动切换的测量配置所对应的测量对象，并对该测量对象进行测量，得到测量结果。201. The user equipment determines, according to the measurement configuration message, a measurement object corresponding to the measurement configuration that is automatically switched, and performs measurement on the measurement object to obtain a measurement result.

When the measurement result of the measurement object corresponding to the automatically switched measurement configuration meets the measurement report condition corresponding to the automatically switched measurement configuration, the user equipment starts an automatic handover timer and sends a measurement report for automatic handover to the base station.

在一种具体的实现方案中，测量配置消息中携带有上述测量配置、测量对象以及测量报告条件，用户设备可以根据测量配置消息中携带的测量对象，对需要测量的目标，即自动切换的测量配置所对应的测量对象中包含的小区或者频点进行测量。对于自动切换的测量配置，当自动切换的测量配置对应的测量对象的测量结果满足自动切换的测量配置对应的测量报告条件时，用户设备除了需要发送针对自动切换的测量报告以外，还需要启动自动切换定时器。In a specific implementation, the measurement configuration message carries the foregoing measurement configuration, the measurement object, and the measurement report condition, and the user equipment may perform the measurement on the target that needs to be measured, that is, the automatic handover according to the measurement object carried in the measurement configuration message. The cell or frequency point included in the measurement object corresponding to the configuration is configured for measurement. For the automatic switching measurement configuration, when the measurement result of the measurement object corresponding to the automatically switched measurement configuration satisfies the measurement report condition corresponding to the automatically switched measurement configuration, the user equipment needs to start the automatic measurement in addition to the measurement report for the automatic switching. Switch the timer.

当自动切换的测量配置对应的测量对象的测量结果满足自动切换的测量配置对应的测量报告条件时，用户设备启动自动切换定时器并向所述基站发送针对自动切换的测量报告可以有以下三种可行的实现方案。When the measurement result of the measurement object corresponding to the automatically switched measurement configuration meets the measurement report condition corresponding to the measurement configuration of the automatic handover, the user equipment starts the automatic handover timer and sends a measurement report for the automatic handover to the base station.

第一种、如果用户设备获取到的测量配置消息中用于存储测量配置的字段包含自动切换标识，用户设备确定该用于存储测量配置的字段所存储的测量配置是自动切换的测量配置，当用户设备对该测量配置对应的测量对象进行测量后得到的测量结果满足该测量配置对应的测量报告条件时，用户设备启动自动切换定时器，并向基站发送针对测量报告消息，该测量报告消息中携带测量报告，该测量报告包含自动切换的测量配置的标识。The first type, if the field used to store the measurement configuration in the measurement configuration message obtained by the user equipment includes the automatic handover identifier, the user equipment determines that the measurement configuration stored in the field for storing the measurement configuration is a measurement configuration that is automatically switched. When the measurement result obtained by the user equipment measuring the measurement object corresponding to the measurement configuration meets the measurement report condition corresponding to the measurement configuration, the user equipment starts an automatic handover timer, and sends a measurement report message to the base station, where the measurement report message is sent. Carrying a measurement report containing an identification of the measurement configuration that is automatically switched.

例如，用于存储测量配置0的字段中包含自动切换标识，测量配置0对应测量报告条件3和测量对象1，若用户设备对测量对象1的测量结果满足测量报告条件3，则用户设备启动自动切换定时器，并向基站发送携带测量对象1的测量报告的测量报告消息，该测量报告携带测量配置0的标识。For example, the field for storing the measurement configuration 0 includes an automatic switching identifier, and the measurement configuration 0 corresponds to the measurement report condition 3 and the measurement object 1. If the measurement result of the user equipment to the measurement object 1 satisfies the measurement report condition 3, the user equipment starts automatically. The timer is switched, and a measurement report message carrying the measurement report of the measurement object 1 is transmitted to the base station, and the measurement report carries the identifier of the measurement configuration 0.

第二种、如果用户设备获取到的测量配置消息中用于存储测量对象的字段包含自动切换标识，用户设备确定该用于存储测量对象的字段所存储的测量对象是自动切换的测量对象，该测量对象对应的所有测量配置都是自动切换的测量配置，当用户设备对该测量对象进行测量后得到的测量结果满足该测量对象对应的测量报告条件时，用户设备启动自动切换定时器，并向基站发送针对测量报告消息，该测量报告消息中携带测量报告，该测量报告包含是该自动切换的测量对象对应的测量配置的标识。The second type, if the field for storing the measurement object in the measurement configuration message acquired by the user equipment includes the automatic switching identifier, the user equipment determines that the measurement object stored in the field for storing the measurement object is an automatically switched measurement object, All measurement configurations corresponding to the measurement object are automatically switched measurement configurations. When the measurement result obtained by the user equipment after the measurement object meets the measurement report condition corresponding to the measurement object, the user equipment starts the automatic switching timer, and The base station sends a measurement report message, where the measurement report message carries a measurement report, where the measurement report includes an identifier of a measurement configuration corresponding to the automatically switched measurement object.

需要说明的是，一个测量对象可以对应一个或者多个测量报告条件，当测量对象的测量结果满足该测量对象对应的测量报告条件时，才会向基站发送对应于测量报告条件的测量报告消息。而对于该测量对象的测量结果不满足的测量报告条件，用户设备不会向基站发送对应该测量报告条件的测量报告消息。而且，一个测量对象可以对应一个或者多个测量配置，因此测量报告消息中携带的测量报告包含该测量对象对应的满足测量报告条件的测量配置的标识。It should be noted that one measurement object may correspond to one or more measurement report conditions, and when the measurement result of the measurement object satisfies the measurement report condition corresponding to the measurement object, the measurement report message corresponding to the measurement report condition is sent to the base station. For the measurement report condition that the measurement result of the measurement object is not satisfied, the user equipment does not send a measurement report message corresponding to the measurement report condition to the base station. Moreover, one measurement object may correspond to one or more measurement configurations, and thus the measurement report carried in the measurement report message includes an identifier of the measurement configuration corresponding to the measurement report condition corresponding to the measurement object.

例如，用于存储测量对象3的字段中包含自动切换标识，测量对象3对应测量报告条件1和测量配置0，测量对象3还对应的测量报告条件2和测量配置1。若用户设备对测量对象3的测量结果满足测量报告条件1而不满足测量报告条件2，则用户设备启动自动切换定时器，并向基站发送携带测量对象3的测量报告的测量报告消息，该测量报告的内容只有测量配置0的标识。或者，若用户设备对测量对象3的测量结果满足测量报告条件1且满足测量报告条件2，则用户设备启动自动切换定时器，并向基站发送携带测量对象3的测量报告的测量报告消息，该测量报告包含测量配置0的标识和测量配置1的标识。For example, the field for storing the measurement object 3 includes an automatic switching identifier, the measurement object 3 corresponds to the measurement report condition 1 and the measurement configuration 0, and the measurement object 3 also corresponds to the measurement report condition 2 and the measurement configuration 1. If the measurement result of the user equipment to the measurement object 3 satisfies the measurement report condition 1 and does not satisfy the measurement report condition 2, the user equipment starts an automatic handover timer, and transmits a measurement report message carrying the measurement report of the measurement object 3 to the base station, the measurement The content of the report is only the identity of the measurement configuration 0. Alternatively, if the measurement result of the user equipment to the measurement object 3 satisfies the measurement report condition 1 and the measurement report condition 2 is satisfied, the user equipment starts an automatic handover timer, and sends a measurement report message carrying the measurement report of the measurement object 3 to the base station, where The measurement report contains the identification of the measurement configuration 0 and the identification of the measurement configuration 1.

第三种、如果用户设备获取到的测量配置消息中用于存储测量报告条件的字段包含自动切换标识，用户设备确定该用于存储测量报告条件的字段所存储的测量报告条件是自动切换的测量报告条件，该测量报告条件对应的所有测量配置都是自动切换的测量配置，当用户设备对自动切换的测量报告条件对应的一个或多个测量对象进行测量后得到的测量结果，满足该测量报告条件时，用户设备启动自动切换定时器，并向基站发送针对测量报告消息，该测量报告消息中携带测量报告，该测量报告包含该测量报告条件对应的一个或者多个测量配置的标识。Third, if the field for storing the measurement report condition in the measurement configuration message acquired by the user equipment includes an automatic handover identifier, the user equipment determines that the measurement report condition stored in the field for storing the measurement report condition is an automatic handover measurement. Reporting conditions, all measurement configurations corresponding to the measurement report conditions are automatically switched measurement configurations, and the measurement results obtained by the user equipment after measuring one or more measurement objects corresponding to the automatically switched measurement report conditions satisfy the measurement report. In the condition, the user equipment starts an automatic switching timer, and sends a measurement report message to the base station, where the measurement report message carries a measurement report, where the measurement report includes an identifier of one or more measurement configurations corresponding to the measurement report condition.

需要说明的是，一个测量报告条件可以对应一个或多个测量对象，当某测量报告条件对应的测量对象的测量结果满足该测量报告条件时，才会向基站发送对应于该测量报告条件的测量报告消息。而对于测量对象的测量结果不满足的测量报告条件，用户设备不会向基站发送对应该测量报告条件的测量报告消息。而且，一个测量对象可以对应一个或者多个测量配置，因此测量报告消息中携带的测量报告的内容是该测量报告条件被满足时，与被满足的测量报告条件对应的测量配置的标识。It should be noted that one measurement report condition may correspond to one or more measurement objects, and when the measurement result of the measurement object corresponding to a measurement report condition satisfies the measurement report condition, the measurement corresponding to the measurement report condition is sent to the base station. Report a message. For the measurement report condition that the measurement result of the measurement object is not satisfied, the user equipment does not send a measurement report message corresponding to the measurement report condition to the base station. Moreover, one measurement object may correspond to one or more measurement configurations, and thus the content of the measurement report carried in the measurement report message is an identification of the measurement configuration corresponding to the satisfied measurement report condition when the measurement report condition is satisfied.

例如，用于存储测量报告条件3的字段中包含自动切换标识，测量报告条件3对应测量对象1和测量配置0，测量报告条件3还对应测量对象2和测量配置1。若用户设备对测量对象1的测量结果满足测量报告条件3，而测量对象2的测量结果不满足测量报告条件3，则用户设备启动自动切换定时器，并向基站发送携带测量对象0的测量报告的测量报告消息，该测量报告的内容只有测量配置0的标识。或者，若用户设备对测量对象1的测量结果满足测量报告条件3，且测量对象2的测量结果也满足测量报告条件3，则用户设备启动自动切换定时器，并向基站发送携带测量报告的测量报告消息，该测量报告包含测量配置0的标识和测量配置1的标识。For example, the field for storing the measurement report condition 3 includes an automatic switching identifier, the measurement report condition 3 corresponds to the measurement object 1 and the measurement configuration 0, and the measurement report condition 3 also corresponds to the measurement object 2 and the measurement configuration 1. If the measurement result of the measurement object 1 of the user equipment satisfies the measurement report condition 3, and the measurement result of the measurement object 2 does not satisfy the measurement report condition 3, the user equipment starts an automatic handover timer, and sends a measurement report carrying the measurement object 0 to the base station. The measurement report message, the content of the measurement report only measures the identity of configuration 0. Alternatively, if the measurement result of the user equipment to the measurement object 1 satisfies the measurement report condition 3, and the measurement result of the measurement object 2 also satisfies the measurement report condition 3, the user equipment starts an automatic handover timer, and transmits a measurement carrying the measurement report to the base station. A report message containing the identity of the measurement configuration 0 and the identity of the measurement configuration 1.

第四种、如果用户设备接收到的测量配置消息中用于存储测量报告条件的字段包含自动切换标识，并且测量配置消息中用于存储测量对象的字段也包含自动切换标识，用户确定该测量报告条件和该测量对象所对应的测量配置是自动切换的测量配置。当用户对该测量对象的测量结果满足该测量报告条件时，用户设备启动自动切换定时器，并向基站发送针对测量报告消息，该测量报告消息中携带测量报告，该测量报告包含该测量报告条件及该测量对象所对应的测量配置的标识。Fourth, if the measurement configuration message received by the user equipment is used to store the measurement report condition, the field includes an automatic handover identifier, and the field used to store the measurement object in the measurement configuration message also includes an automatic handover identifier, and the user determines the measurement report. The condition and the measurement configuration corresponding to the measurement object are measurement configurations that are automatically switched. When the measurement result of the measurement object meets the measurement report condition, the user equipment starts an automatic handover timer, and sends a measurement report message to the base station, where the measurement report message carries a measurement report, where the measurement report includes the measurement report condition And an identifier of the measurement configuration corresponding to the measurement object.

203、基站根据所述用户设备发送的所述针对自动切换的测量报告，确定切换所述用户设备，并向目标基站发送切换准备请求。203. The base station determines to switch the user equipment according to the measurement report for automatic handover sent by the user equipment, and sends a handover preparation request to the target base station.

具体的，基站获取用户设备发送的测量报告消息，若该测量报告消息中携带针对自动切换的测量报告，则基站确定需要切换所述用户设备，因此需要发起切换准备，可以向目标基站发送切换准备请求。其中，基站可以根据针对自动切换的测量报告中携带的小区标识，确定切换所述用户设备的目标小区，进而向该目标小区所在的目标基站发送切换准备请求。Specifically, the base station acquires the measurement report message sent by the user equipment, and if the measurement report message carries the measurement report for the automatic handover, the base station determines that the user equipment needs to be switched, and therefore needs to initiate handover preparation, and may send handover preparation to the target base station. request. The base station may determine to switch the target cell of the user equipment according to the cell identifier carried in the measurement report for the automatic handover, and then send a handover preparation request to the target base station where the target cell is located.

在一种具体的实现方案中，基站向目标基站发送的切换准备请求中可以携带用户设备的上下文信息。In a specific implementation, the handover preparation request sent by the base station to the target base station may carry the context information of the user equipment.

在一种可行的实现方案中，基站可以通过X2接口或者S1接口向目标基站发送切换准备请求。In a feasible implementation, the base station may send a handover preparation request to the target base station through the X2 interface or the S1 interface.

本实施例中，基站判断用户设备发送的测量报告消息是否携带针对自动切换的测量报告有以下几种可行的实现方案。In this embodiment, the base station determines whether the measurement report message sent by the user equipment carries the measurement report for automatic handover, and has the following feasible implementation solutions.

第一种、在测量配置消息中用于存储测量配置的字段包含自动切换标识的情况下，若基站获取到的测量报告消息中携带的测量配置的标识所对应的测量配置，属于包含自动切换标识的字段所存储测量配置，则基站确定测量报告消息中的该测量配置的测量报告是针对自动切换的测量报告。The first type, in the case where the field for storing the measurement configuration in the measurement configuration message includes the automatic handover identifier, if the measurement configuration corresponding to the identifier of the measurement configuration carried in the measurement report message acquired by the base station belongs to the automatic handover identifier The measurement configuration is stored in the field, and the base station determines that the measurement report of the measurement configuration in the measurement report message is a measurement report for automatic handover.

第二种、在测量配置消息中用于存储测量对象的字段包含自动切换标识的情况下，若基站获取到的测量报告消息中携带的测量配置的标识所对应的测量对象，属于包含自动切换标识的字段所存储测量对象，则基站确定该测量报告消息中的该测量配置的测量报告是针对自动切换的测量报告。The second type, in the case that the field for storing the measurement object in the measurement configuration message includes the automatic handover identifier, if the measurement object corresponding to the identifier of the measurement configuration carried in the measurement report message acquired by the base station belongs to the automatic handover identifier The measurement object is stored in the field, and the base station determines that the measurement report of the measurement configuration in the measurement report message is a measurement report for automatic handover.

例如，测量报告消息中包含测量配置0的标识，该测量配置0的标识对应测量对象1和测量报告条件3，若测量配置消息中用于存储测量对象1的字段中包含自动切换标识，则表示该测量配置0的测量报告是针对自动切换的测量报告。For example, the measurement report message includes an identifier of the measurement configuration 0, and the identifier of the measurement configuration 0 corresponds to the measurement object 1 and the measurement report condition 3. If the field for storing the measurement object 1 in the measurement configuration message includes an automatic switching identifier, The measurement report for this measurement configuration 0 is a measurement report for automatic switching.

第三种、在测量配置消息中用于存储测量报告条件的字段包含自动切换标识的情况下，若基站获取到的测量报告消息中携带的测量配置的标识所对应的测量报告条件，属于包含自动切换标识的字段所存储测量报告条件，则基站确定该测量报告消息中的该测量配置的测量报告是针对自动切换的测量报告。The third type, in the case where the field for storing the measurement report condition in the measurement configuration message includes the automatic handover identifier, if the measurement report condition corresponding to the identifier of the measurement configuration carried in the measurement report message acquired by the base station belongs to the automatic The measurement report condition stored in the field of the handover identifier is determined, and the base station determines that the measurement report of the measurement configuration in the measurement report message is a measurement report for automatic handover.

例如，测量报告消息中包含测量配置0的标识，该测量配置0的标识对应测量对象1和测量报告条件3，若测量配置消息中用于存储测量报告条件3的字段中包含自动切换标识，则表示该测量配置0的测量报告是针对自动切换的测量报告。For example, the measurement report message includes an identifier of the measurement configuration 0, where the identifier of the measurement configuration 0 corresponds to the measurement object 1 and the measurement report condition 3. If the field for storing the measurement report condition 3 in the measurement configuration message includes the automatic switching identifier, The measurement report indicating this measurement configuration 0 is a measurement report for automatic switching.

第四种、在测量配置消息中用于存储测量报告条件的字段包含自动切换标识同时用于存储测量对象的字段包含自动切换标识的情况下，若基站接收到的测量报告消息中携带的测量配置的标识所对应的测量报告条件属于包含自动切换标识的字段所存储测量报告条件，并且对应的测量对象属于包含自动切换标识的字段所存储的测量对象，则基站确定该测量报告消息中的该测量配置的测量报告是针对自动切换的测量报告。The fourth type, in the measurement configuration message, the field for storing the measurement report condition includes the automatic handover identifier and the field for storing the measurement object, where the field includes the automatic handover identifier, and the measurement configuration carried in the measurement report message received by the base station The measurement report condition corresponding to the identifier belongs to the measurement report condition stored in the field including the automatic handover identifier, and the corresponding measurement object belongs to the measurement object stored in the field including the automatic handover identifier, and the base station determines the measurement in the measurement report message. The configured measurement report is a measurement report for automatic switching.

例如，测量报告消息中包含测量配置0的标识，该测量配置0的标识对应测量对象1和测量报告条件3，若测量配置消息中用于存储测量报告条件3的字段中包含自动切换标识并且用于存储测量对象1的字段中包含自动切换标识，则表示该测量配置0的测量报告是针对自动切换的测量报告。For example, the measurement report message includes an identifier of the measurement configuration 0, and the identifier of the measurement configuration 0 corresponds to the measurement object 1 and the measurement report condition 3. If the measurement configuration message is used in the field for storing the measurement report condition 3, the automatic switching identifier is included and used. The automatic switching identifier is included in the field of the storage measurement object 1, indicating that the measurement report of the measurement configuration 0 is a measurement report for automatic switching.

在一种可选的实现方案中，基站向目标基站发送切换准备请求之前，基站还可以向用户设备发送小区列表或者基站列表。其中小区列表中包含一个或者多个目标基站中各目标基站下的一个或多个小区的标识，基站列表可以包含一个或者多个目标基站中各目标基站的标识。小区列表或者基站列表用于用户设备在选择目标小区时，优先从小区列表中的小区中选择目标小区，或者优先从基站列表中的基站下的小区选择目标小区。In an optional implementation, before the base station sends the handover preparation request to the target base station, the base station may further send the cell list or the base station list to the user equipment. The cell list includes identifiers of one or more cells in each of the target base stations, and the base station list may include identifiers of the target base stations in the one or more target base stations. The cell list or the base station list is used by the user equipment to preferentially select a target cell from the cells in the cell list when the target cell is selected, or to preferentially select the target cell from the cell under the base station in the base station list.

204、当所述基站获取到所述目标基站发送的切换准备请求的响应消息时，向所述用户设备发送切换指令。204. When the base station acquires a response message of the handover preparation request sent by the target base station, send a handover instruction to the user equipment.

具体的，目标基站在获取到基站发送的切换准备请求后，根据其携带的用户设备的上下文信息，判断是否允许该用户设备接入。Specifically, after acquiring the handover preparation request sent by the base station, the target base station determines whether the user equipment is allowed to access according to the context information of the user equipment that is carried by the base station.

如果允许该用户设备接入，目标基站向基站发送切换准备请求的响应消息，其中携带允许切换命令。这样，基站可以获取到目标基站发送的切换准备请求的响应消息，并根据其携带的允许切换命令，向用户设备发送切换指令，该切换指令用于指示可以切换至的目标小区。但是，基于LBT机制，当基站需要发送切换指令给用户设备时，先监听信道是否被占用，如果监听到信道被占用，则基站不能发送切换指令给用户设备，从而可能导致自动切换定时器到时用户设备还没有收到切换指令。如果监听到信道空闲，则基站可以顺利发送切换指令给用户设备。If the user equipment is allowed to access, the target base station sends a response message of the handover preparation request to the base station, where the permission handover command is carried. In this way, the base station can obtain the response message of the handover preparation request sent by the target base station, and send a handover instruction to the user equipment according to the allowed handover command carried by the base station, where the handover instruction is used to indicate the target cell that can be handed over. However, based on the LBT mechanism, when the base station needs to send a handover command to the user equipment, it first monitors whether the channel is occupied. If the channel is occupied, the base station cannot send a handover command to the user equipment, which may cause the automatic handover timer to expire. The user equipment has not received the switch instruction. If the channel is idle, the base station can successfully send a handover command to the user equipment.

反之，如果不允许该用户设备接入，目标基站向基站发送切换准备请求的响应消息，其中携带拒绝切换命令，这样，基站可以获取到目标基站发送的切换准备请求的响应消息，根据其携带的拒绝切换命令，不向用户设备发送切换指令。On the other hand, if the user equipment is not allowed to access, the target base station sends a response to the handover preparation request to the base station, where the handover request is carried, so that the base station can obtain the response message of the handover preparation request sent by the target base station, according to the The switch command is rejected and the switch instruction is not sent to the user equipment.

205、若所述自动切换定时器超时且所述用户设备没有获取到所述基站发送的切换指令时，所述用户设备选择所述目标小区，并切换至所述目标小区。205. If the automatic handover timer expires and the user equipment does not obtain the handover instruction sent by the base station, the user equipment selects the target cell and switches to the target cell.

本实施例中，用户设备在启动自动切换定时器之后，自动切换定时器可以开始计时，如果自动切换定时器超时的时候，用户设备还没有获取到基站发送的切换指令，用户设备判断出需要进行自动切换，因此用户设备可以自主选择需要切换到的目标小区，并在选择完成后切换至该自主选出的目标小区。In this embodiment, after the automatic switching timer is started, the user equipment can start timing. If the automatic switching timer expires, the user equipment has not obtained the switching instruction sent by the base station, and the user equipment determines that the user equipment needs to perform the switching instruction. Automatic switching, so the user equipment can independently select the target cell to be handed over, and switch to the autonomously selected target cell after the selection is completed.

301、用户设备根据测量配置消息，确定自动切换的测量配置所对应的测量对象，并对该测量对象进行测量，得到测量结果。301. The user equipment determines, according to the measurement configuration message, a measurement object corresponding to the measurement configuration that is automatically switched, and performs measurement on the measurement object to obtain a measurement result.

步骤301的具体实现方案可以参见上述步骤201的具体实现方案，这里不再赘述。For the specific implementation of the step 301, refer to the specific implementation of the foregoing step 201, and details are not described herein again.

In this embodiment, if the measurement configuration is not the measurement configuration of the automatic handover, when the measurement result of the measurement object satisfies the measurement report condition corresponding to the measurement object, the user equipment needs to send a measurement report to the base station. For the automatic switching measurement configuration, when the measurement result of the measurement object corresponding to the automatically switched measurement configuration satisfies the measurement report condition corresponding to the automatically switched measurement configuration, the user equipment needs to send a measurement report for automatic switching, but does not need to start automatic.

本实施例中，当自动切换的测量配置对应的测量对象的测量结果满足自动切换的测量配置对应的测量报告条件时，用户设备确定需要进行自动切换，因此，用户设备直接自主选择需要切换到的目标小区，而不需要启动自动切换定时器并等待基站发送切换指令。In this embodiment, when the measurement result of the measurement object corresponding to the automatically switched measurement configuration meets the measurement report condition corresponding to the measurement configuration of the automatic handover, the user equipment determines that automatic handover is required, and therefore, the user equipment directly selects the switch to be automatically selected. The target cell does not need to start the automatic handover timer and wait for the base station to send a handover command.

在一种可行的实现方案中，对于第二种实现方式，对于小区列表中的小区，只要小区的信号质量超过指定阈值，用户设备就可以将该小区作为目标小区。或者，如果小区为自动切换的测量配置对应的测量对象中的小区，且该小区的信号质量超过指定阈值，用户设备可以将该小区作为目标小区。或者，如果小区为自动切换的测量配置对应的测量对象中的小区，且该小区的测量结果满足自动切换的测量配置对应的测量报告条件，用户设备可以将该小区作为目标小区。In a feasible implementation, for the second implementation manner, for a cell in the cell list, the user equipment can use the cell as the target cell as long as the signal quality of the cell exceeds a specified threshold. Alternatively, if the cell configures a cell in the corresponding measurement object for the measurement of the automatic handover, and the signal quality of the cell exceeds a specified threshold, the user equipment may use the cell as the target cell. Alternatively, if the cell configures the cell in the corresponding measurement object for the measurement of the automatic handover, and the measurement result of the cell meets the measurement report condition corresponding to the measurement configuration of the automatic handover, the user equipment may use the cell as the target cell.

本实施例中应用于完全自动切换场景，用户设备在判断出自动切换的测量配置对应的测量对象的测量结果满足自动切换的测量配置对应的测量报告条件时，只需要向基站发送测量报告，但不启动自动切换定时器，因此不需要等到自动切换定时器超时才选择目标小区，而是在判断出自动切换的测量配置对应的测量对象的测量结果满足自动切换的测量配置对应的测量报告条件时，直接自主选择目标小区，然后切换至该目标小区，称为完全自动切换场景。In this embodiment, when the user equipment determines that the measurement result of the measurement object corresponding to the measurement configuration of the automatic handover meets the measurement report condition corresponding to the measurement configuration of the automatic handover, the user equipment only needs to send a measurement report to the base station, but The automatic switching timer is not started. Therefore, it is not necessary to wait until the automatic switching timer expires to select the target cell, but when it is determined that the measurement result of the measurement object corresponding to the automatically switched measurement configuration satisfies the measurement report condition corresponding to the automatically switched measurement configuration. The target cell is directly selected autonomously, and then switched to the target cell, which is called a fully automatic switching scenario.

针对步骤701和步骤702的实现可以参考上述步骤101和步骤102的相关描述，这里不再赘述，区别在于本实施例中，基站不需要通过测量配置消息携带自动切换标识，而是由用户设备决定哪个测量配置是自动切换的测量配置，然后通过测量报告消息将其同步给基站即可，如此也可以实现基站与用户设备都知道自动切换的测量配置。For the implementation of the steps 701 and 702, reference may be made to the related descriptions of the foregoing steps 101 and 102, and the details are not described herein again. In this embodiment, the base station does not need to carry the automatic switching identifier through the measurement configuration message, but is determined by the user equipment. Which measurement configuration is the measurement configuration of the automatic handover, and then it is synchronized to the base station by the measurement report message, so that the measurement configuration in which the base station and the user equipment know the automatic handover can also be realized.

针对步骤703中“用户设备在至少一个测量配置中确定一个或者多个测量配置作为自动切换的测量配置”的实现，本申请实施例在此提供了以下几种可行的实施方式。The following embodiments of the present application provide the following possible implementation manners in the implementation of the step 703, in which the user equipment determines one or more measurement configurations in the at least one measurement configuration as the measurement configuration of the automatic handover.

第一种、基站向用户设备发送的测量配置消息还包含用于指示供所述用户设备选择的作为自动切换的测量配置的指示信息，这样，所述用户设备可以根据所述测量配置消息中的指示信息，在该指示信息所指示的测量配置中选择一个或者多个测量配置作为自动切换的测量配置。The first type, the measurement configuration message sent by the base station to the user equipment, further includes indication information for indicating a measurement configuration that is selected by the user equipment as an automatic handover, so that the user equipment may be configured according to the measurement configuration message.

例如，自动切换的测量报告条件为满足预设参数下的A3-1事件，其中预设参数可以由用户设备自主确定。这样，当该测量报告条件对应的测量对象的测量结果满足该测量报告条件时，用户设备确定需要进行自动切换，进而向基站发送携带自动切换指令的测量报告。For example, the measurement report condition of the automatic switching is that the A3-1 event under the preset parameter is met, wherein the preset parameter can be determined autonomously by the user equipment. In this way, when the measurement result of the measurement object corresponding to the measurement report condition satisfies the measurement report condition, the user equipment determines that automatic handover is required, and then sends a measurement report carrying the automatic handover instruction to the base station.

请参考图8，其为本申请实施例所提供的步骤703的一种实现方法的流程示意图，如图8所示，该方法应用于混合自动切换场景，该方法可以包括：Please refer to FIG. 8 , which is a schematic flowchart of a method for implementing step 703 according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 8 , the method is applied to a hybrid automatic switching scenario, and the method may include:

801、当自动切换的测量配置对应的测量对象的测量结果满足该自动切换的测量配置对应的测量报告条件时，用户设备启动自动切换定时器并向基站发送针对自动切换的测量报告，测量报告中携带自动切换指令。801. When the measurement result of the measurement object corresponding to the automatically switched measurement configuration meets the measurement report condition corresponding to the measurement configuration of the automatic handover, the user equipment starts an automatic handover timer and sends a measurement report for automatic handover to the base station, where the measurement report is used. Carry an automatic switching command.

802、基站获取携带自动切换指令的测量报告，确定切换所述用户设备，并根据所述测量报告向目标基站发送切换准备请求。802. The base station acquires a measurement report that carries an automatic handover instruction, determines to switch the user equipment, and sends a handover preparation request to the target base station according to the measurement report.

本实施例中，当自动切换的测量配置对应的测量对象的测量结果满足该自动切换的测量配置对应的测量报告条件时，用户设备向基站发送的针对自动切换的测量报告中携带自动切换指令，这样，基站根据自动切换指令，获知该测量报告是针对自动切换的测量报告，进而可以发起切换准备。其中，自动切换指令可以用于指示目标基站。In this embodiment, when the measurement result of the measurement object corresponding to the measurement configuration of the automatic handover meets the measurement report condition corresponding to the measurement configuration of the automatic handover, the measurement report for the automatic handover sent by the user equipment to the base station carries the automatic handover instruction. In this way, the base station learns that the measurement report is a measurement report for automatic handover according to the automatic handover instruction, and further can initiate handover preparation. The automatic switching instruction may be used to indicate the target base station.

具体的，基站可以通过X2接口或者S1接口向目标基站发送切换准备请求，该切换准备请求中携带用户设备的上下文信息。Specifically, the base station may send a handover preparation request to the target base station by using the X2 interface or the S1 interface, where the handover preparation request carries the context information of the user equipment.

在一种可选的实现方案中，基站向目标基站发送切换准备请求之前，基站还可以向用户设备发送小区列表。其中小区列表中包含一个或者多个目标基站中各目标基站下的一个或多个小区的标识。小区列表用于用户设备在选择目标小区时，优先从小区列表中的小区中选择目标小区。In an optional implementation, before the base station sends the handover preparation request to the target base station, the base station may further send the cell list to the user equipment. The cell list includes identifiers of one or more cells under each target base station in one or more target base stations. The cell list is used by the user equipment to preferentially select a target cell from the cells in the cell list when selecting the target cell.

803、若基站获取到目标基站返回的响应消息，基站向用户设备发送切换指令。803. If the base station acquires the response message returned by the target base station, the base station sends a handover instruction to the user equipment.

步骤803的具体实现方式可以参考上述针对步骤204的相关描述，这里不再赘述。For the specific implementation of the step 803, reference may be made to the related description of the foregoing step 204, and details are not described herein again.

804、当自动切换定时器超时且用户设备没有获取到基站根据所述测量报告发送的切换指令时，用户设备选择所述目标小区，并切换至所述目标小区。804. When the automatic switching timer expires and the user equipment does not obtain the handover instruction sent by the base station according to the measurement report, the user equipment selects the target cell and switches to the target cell.

第一种、用所述用户设备根据启动自动切换定时器时对自动切换的测量配置针对的测量对象的测量结果选择所述目标小区。The first type selects the target cell by using the user equipment according to the measurement result of the measurement object for the measurement configuration of the automatic handover when the automatic switching timer is started.

具体的，用户设备可以在启动自动切换定时器并发送自动切换的测量报告对应的测量对象包含的小区中选择目标小区，也就是在测量结果满足测量报告条件且对应的测量配置是自动切换的测量配置的测量对象包含的小区中选择目标小区。Specifically, the user equipment may select the target cell in the cell included in the measurement object corresponding to the measurement report that starts the automatic handover timer and sends the automatic handover, that is, the measurement that the measurement result satisfies the measurement report condition and the corresponding measurement configuration is automatically switched. The selected target cell is selected from the cells included in the configured measurement object.

第二种、用户设备根据自动切换定时器超时之前的第一指定时长T4内对第一指定小区的测量结果选择所述目标小区。Second, the user equipment selects the target cell according to the measurement result of the first designated cell in the first specified duration T4 before the automatic handover timer expires.

其中，第一指定时长T4可以由基站进行配置。The first specified duration T4 can be configured by the base station.

第三种、用户设备根据自动切换定时器超时之后的第二指定时长T5内对指定小区的测量结果选择所述目标小区。Third, the user equipment selects the target cell according to the measurement result of the designated cell in the second specified duration T5 after the automatic handover timer expires.

具体的，用户设备可以根据自动切换定时器超时之后的第二指定时长T5内对第一指定小区的测量结果选择所述目标小区。Specifically, the user equipment may select the target cell according to the measurement result of the first designated cell in the second specified duration T5 after the automatic handover timer expires.

其中，第二指定时长T5可以由基站进行配置。The second specified duration T5 can be configured by the base station.

第四种、所述用户设备根据对所述小区列表中的小区的测量结果，从所述小区列表中选择小区作为所述目标小区。该小区列表可以为基站在向目标基站发送切换准备请求之前发送给用户设备的。Fourth, the user equipment selects a cell as the target cell from the cell list according to a measurement result of a cell in the cell list. The cell list may be sent to the user equipment before the base station sends a handover preparation request to the target base station.

805、当自动切换定时器超时之前，若用户设备获取到基站发送的切换指令，用户设备切换至切换指示所指示的目标小区。805. Before the automatic switching timer expires, if the user equipment acquires the handover instruction sent by the base station, the user equipment switches to the target cell indicated by the handover indication.

图8所描述的技术方案应用于混合自动切换场景，是有用户设备自主选择自动切换的测量配置，而不是用基站进行指派，但是用户设备需要通过测量报告向基站同步针对自动切换的测量报告，而且用户设备启动自动切换定时器，当自动切换定时器超时且没有收到基站发送的切换指令时，用户设备自主选择目标小区并切换至目标小区，如果自动切换定时器超时之前，用户设备收到了基站发送的切换指令，则不能自主选择目标小区，需要切换至基站通过切换指令所指示的目标小区，称为混合自动切换场景。The technical solution described in FIG. 8 is applied to a hybrid automatic handover scenario, which is a measurement configuration in which a user equipment automatically selects an automatic handover, instead of assigning with a base station, but the user equipment needs to synchronize the measurement report for automatic handover to the base station through the measurement report. The user equipment starts the automatic switching timer. When the automatic switching timer expires and the handover command sent by the base station is not received, the user equipment selects the target cell and switches to the target cell. If the automatic switching timer expires, the user equipment receives the timer. The handover command sent by the base station cannot select the target cell autonomously, and needs to switch to the target cell indicated by the handover instruction by the base station, which is called a hybrid automatic handover scenario.

The measurement configuration, so as to know when to perform automatic switching, can realize the automatic switching scheme when the LBT mechanism is used in the MuLTE-Fire system, and the user equipment can perform automatic switching. Further, since the automatic switching scheme can be implemented, it is possible to solve the problem that the user equipment switching failure rate is high due to the high channel occupancy rate of the target cell when the user equipment uses the LBT mechanism in the MuLTE-Fire system, so that the user waves诶 The target cell with a lower channel occupancy rate can be selected to complete the handover, which reduces the handover delay of the user equipment, and reduces the probability of handover failure to a certain extent.

Therefore, it is known when automatic switching is performed, so that an automatic switching scheme when the LBT mechanism is used in the MuLTE-Fire system can be realized, and the user equipment can perform automatic switching. Further, since the automatic switching scheme can be implemented, it is possible to solve the problem that the user equipment switching failure rate is high due to the high channel occupancy rate of the target cell when the user equipment uses the LBT mechanism in the MuLTE-Fire system, so that the user waves诶 The target cell with a lower channel occupancy rate can be selected to complete the handover, which reduces the handover delay of the user equipment, and reduces the probability of handover failure to a certain extent.
