Method for transmitting coordinated multipoint transmission/reception coordinated group messages and an evolved NodeB thereof
View Patent ↗A method for transmitting Coordinated Multipoint transmission/reception (CoMP) coordinated group information and an Evolved NodeB (eNB) thereof are provided in the present invention. The method includes: the eNB sends the CoMP coordinated group information of the CoMP coordinated group to which the local service cell belongs, and/or the CoMP coordinated group information of the CoMP coordinated group to which the neighboring cell of the local service cell belongs to other eNBs via the X2 interface message. The eNB is configured with an X2 interface unit and a storage unit. The present invention can improve the CoMP transmission handover success rate of the network and improve the network performance.
1. A method for transmitting coordinated multipoint transmission/reception (CoMP) coordinated group information, the method comprising:
when a plurality of evolved node B (eNB) have been established, transmitting the CoMP coordinated group information between the plurality of evolved node B (eNB) via an X2 interface message;
wherein the CoMP coordinated group information is at least one of the CoMP coordinated group information of a CoMP coordinated group to which a local service cell of the eNB belongs and CoMP coordinated group information of a CoMP coordinated group to which a neighboring cell of the local service cell of the eNB belongs; and
wherein the CoMP coordinated group information comprises: a CoMP coordinated group ID, or the CoMP coordinated group ID and a public land mobile network ID;
wherein, the step of the eNB sending the CoMP coordinated group information to other eNBs via the X2 interface message comprises:
when the CoMP coordinated group information of a first eNB changes, said first eNB including the CoMP coordinated group information in a CoMP configuration update message and sending the CoMP configuration update message to a second eNB; and
when receiving the CoMP configuration update message, said second eNB including the CoMP coordinated group information in a CoMP configuration update acknowledgement message and sending the CoMP configuration update acknowledgement message to the first eNB.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein,
the step of the eNB sending the CoMP coordinated group information to other eNBs via the X2 interface message further comprises:
when establishing an X2 interface, the first eNB including the CoMP coordinated group information in an X2 establishment request message and sending the X2 establishment request message to the second eNB; and
when receiving the X2 establishment request message, said second eNB including the CoMP coordinated group information in an X2 establishment response message and sending the X2 establishment response message to the first eNB.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein,
the step of the eNB sending the CoMP coordinated group information to other eNBs via the X2 interface message further comprises:
when configuration information of the first eNB changes, said first eNB including the CoMP coordinated group information in an eNB configuration update message and sending the eNB configuration update message to the second eNB; and
when receiving the eNB configuration update message, said second eNB including the CoMP coordinated group information in an eNB configuration update acknowledgement message and sending the eNB configuration update acknowledgement message to the first eNB.
4. An evolved node B (eNB), configured with an X2 interface unit and a storage unit; wherein,
said storage unit is configured to store at least one of coordinated multipoint transmission/reception (CoMP) coordinated group information of a CoMP coordinated group to which a local service cell of the eNB belongs and CoMP coordinated group information of a CoMP coordinated group to which a neighboring cell of the local service cell of the eNB belongs;
said X2 interface unit is configured to transmit the CoMP coordinated group information between a plurality of eNB established; and
the CoMP coordinated group information comprises: a CoMP coordinated group ID, or the CoMP coordinated group ID and a public land mobile network ID;
wherein, the X2 interface unit is configured to send said CoMP coordinated group information by any one of the following modes:
when establishing an X2 interface, sending the CoMP coordinated group information in at least one of an X2 establishment request message and an X2 establishment response message;
when configuration information of the eNB changes, sending the CoMP coordinated group information in at least one of an eNB configuration update message and an eNB configuration update acknowledgement message; and
when the CoMP coordinated group information changes, sending the CoMP coordinated group information in at least one of a CoMP configuration update message and a CoMP configuration update acknowledgement message.
