Method for processing handover failure, and user equipment
The disclosure provides a method for processing handover failure, and user equipment (UE). The method comprises: UE failing in handing over from a first cell to a second cell; the UE failing in performing radio resource control (RRC) re-establishment in the first cell, the second cell or a third cell, and succeeding in performing RRC establishment in a fourth cell; a network element to which the user equipment in a connected state is connected sending a physical identifier of the second cell to a network element to which the first cell belongs. The disclosure can ensure that the network element to which the first cell belongs carries out accurate judgment of handover situations according to the physical identifier, which can ensure the optimization of handover parameters.

wherein sending, by the network element to which the UE in the connected state is connected, the physical identifier of the second cell to the network element to which the first cell belongs comprises:
handing over, by the UE, from the fourth cell to a fifth cell;
reporting, by the UE, the physical identifier of the second cell to a network element to which the fifth cell belongs; and
sending, by the network element which the fifth cell belongs, the physical identifier of the second cell to the network element to which the first cell belongs.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein sending, by the network element to which the UE in the connected state is connected, the physical identifier of the second cell to the network element to which the first cell belongs further comprises:
reporting, by the UE, the physical identifier of the second cell to a network element to which the fourth cell belongs; and
sending, by the network element to which the fourth cell belongs, the physical identifier of the second cell to the network element to which the first cell belongs.
3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the UE further reports routing and addressing information of the first cell to the network element to which the fifth cell belongs.
4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein
when the second cell is an LTE cell, the physical identifier of the second cell is a Physical Cell Identifier (PCI);
when the second cell is a UMTS FDD cell, the physical identifier of the second cell is a Primary Scrambling Code (PSC);
when the second cell is a UMTS Time Division Duplex (TDD) cell, the physical identifier of the second cell is a Cell Parameter Identifier (Cell Parameter ID);
when the second cell is a cell of a GSM, the physical identifier of the second cell is a Base Station Identity Code (BSIC).
5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the UE in the connected state sends frequency information of the second cell to the network element to which the UE in the connected state is connected, and the network element to which the UE in the connected state is connected sends the frequency information of the second cell to the network element to which the first cell belongs.
6. The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the UE in the connected state sends frequency information of the second cell to the network element to which the UE in the connected state is connected, and the network element to which the UE in the connected state is connected sends the frequency information of the second cell to the network element to which the first cell belongs.
7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the network element to which the UE in the connected state is connected comprises:
a network element to which the fourth cell belongs; or
a network element to which a fifth cell belongs when the UE succeeds in handing over from the fourth cell to the fifth cell.
8. A network element, wherein the network element, to which User Equipment (UE) in a connected state is connected, comprises a hardware processor and memory, wherein the hardware processor is configured to execute program units stored on the memory, the program units comprising:
a first sending unit configured to send a physical identifier of a second cell to a network element to which a first cell belongs;
wherein the first sending is configured to send the physical identifier of the second cell to the network element to which the first cell belongs in following conditions: the UE failing in handing over from the first cell to the second cell; and the UE failing in performing Radio Resource Control (RRC) re-establishment in the first cell, the second cell or a third cell, and succeeding in performing RRC establishment in a fourth cell;
wherein the network element to which the UE in the connected state is connected comprises:
a network element to which a fifth cell belongs when the UE succeeds in handing over from the fourth cell to the fifth cell.
9. The network element as claimed in claim 8 , wherein
the program units comprise:
a first receiving unit configured to receive the physical identifier of the second cell sent from the UE in the connected state, and the first sending unit is configured to send the physical identifier of the second cell to the network element to which the first cell belongs.
10. The network element as claimed in claim 8 , wherein
the program units comprise:
a second receiving unit configured to receive frequency information of the second cell sent from the UE in the connected state; and
a second sending unit configured to send the frequency information of the second cell to the network element to which the first cell belongs.
11. The network element as claimed in claim 8 , characterized in that the network element to which the UE in the connected state is connected further comprises:
a network element to which the fourth cell belongs.
12. The network element as claimed in claim 9 , characterized in that the network element to which the UE in the connected state is connected further comprises:
a network element to which the fourth cell belongs.
