Cell measuring method, equipment and system

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of a communication technology and discloses a cell measuring method, equipment and a system. The method comprises the following steps: an initial serving virtual cell of user equipment (UE) is determined within a serving physical cell, to which the UE belongs; a virtual cell list which needs to be measured by the UE is acquired according to the initial serving virtual cell; a measurement task is configured for the UE, a measuring object corresponding to the measuring task carries the virtual cell list, and a report corresponding to the measuring task carries measurement report parameters corresponding to the virtual cell list; and a measuring report of the UE which is reported according to the measuring report parameters is received, wherein the measuring report contains a measuring result of the virtual cell measured by the UE in the virtual cell list and a corresponding virtual cell. By the adoption of the cell measuring method, measurement of the UE in connected state in the virtual cell system can be realized, and good communication performance and mobility performance of the UE in a plurality of virtual cells in a single physical cell are raised.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a cell measurement method, equipment and system. Background technique [0002] With the development of the mobile Internet, the capacity requirements for cellular communication are getting higher and higher. Generally, there are two simple expansion methods: [0003] 1. Perform physical cell splitting for macro stations [0004] Specifically, the physical cell division of the macro station can be performed by using multiple narrow beam antennas or using a multi-beam technology. Among them, the multi-beam technology can use both static beams, such as generated by multi-beam antennas, and dynamic beams, such as generated by AAS (Active Antenna System, dynamic antenna system); it can be aimed at both horizontal and vertical planes. [0005] 2. Add a micro station next to the macro station [0006] The above methods can all achieve the purpose of capacity expansio...

Problems solved by technology

However, at present, the measurement object corresponding to the measurement report of the UE is based on the physical cell as the smallest unit, and there is no measurement reporting mechanism for the virtual cell. Usually, the network side can only use an approximate method to estimate the location of the UE. Each virtual cell in a single physical cell corresponds to the received uplink signal quality on the beam to estimate the UE position, which affects the communication performance and mobility performance of the UE in multiple virtual cells in a single physical cell
