Abstract

A processing method includes: obtaining a current movement trajectory; matching the current movement trajectory with history movement trajectories and obtaining matching degrees; determining a target cell according to a history movement trajectory having the matching degree greater than a preset matching threshold and a correspondence between the history movement trajectory and a cell; and sending a handover request to a source base station, the handover request comprising a determined target cell identifier of the target cell.

Claims (59)

1. A method for processing cell handover, applicable to user equipment side and comprising:

obtaining a current movement trajectory;

matching the current movement trajectory with historical movement trajectories to obtain matching degrees;

determining a target cell according to the historical movement trajectory of the matching degree greater than a preset matching threshold, and correspondences between historical movement trajectories and cells; and

sending a handover request to a source base station, the handover request comprising a target cell identifier of the determined target cell,

wherein the method further comprises:

obtaining a current movement speed,

wherein the determining the target cell according to the historical movement trajectory of the matching degree greater than the preset matching threshold, and correspondences between historical movement trajectories and cells comprises:

determining the target cell according to the historical movement trajectory of the matching degree greater than the preset matching threshold, the current movement speed, and correspondences among historical movement trajectories, movement speeds and cells,

wherein in response to that the movement speed is in a first speed range, a microcell covering the movement trajectory is determined as the target cell, in response to that the movement speed is in a second speed range, a cell covering the movement trajectory is determined as the target cell; and in response to that the movement speed is in a third speed range, a macro cell covering the movement trajectory is determined as the target cell.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

obtaining a current time; and

determining a historical time associated with the current time,

wherein the matching the current movement trajectory with the historical movement trajectories comprises:

matching the current movement trajectory with the historical movement trajectory corresponding to the historical time.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a handover time according to the current movement speed and the determined target cell,

wherein the handover request further comprises the determined handover time.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the handover request further comprises a measurement report.

5. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein computer instructions that, when executed by a processor, implement the method of claim 1 .

6. A method for processing cell handover, applicable to a base station side and comprising:

receiving a handover request sent by user equipment, the handover request comprising a target cell identifier;

determining a target base station according to the target cell identifier; and

sending the handover request to the target base station,

wherein the handover request further comprises a handover time, and

the sending the handover request, to the target base station comprises:

sending the handover request to the target base station before the handover time is reached,

wherein the method further comprises:

executing a handover preparation process with the target base station before the handover time is reached; and

sending a handover command to the user equipment according to the handover time,

wherein the handover preparation process comprises: receiving a handover response message from the target base station, wherein the handover response message comprises a new C-RNTI and a security algorithm identifier of the target base station.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the handover request further comprises a measurement report; and

the determining the target base station according to the target cell identifier comprises:

determining the target base station according to the target cell identifier and the measurement report.

8. A device for processing cell handover, applicable to a base station and comprising a processor; and memory configured to store processor-executable instructions, wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to implement operations of the method of claim 6 .

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the handover request further comprises a measurement report; and

wherein the processor is further configured to execute the instructions to:

determine the target base station according to the target cell identifier and the measurement report.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein computer instructions that, when executed by a processor, implement the method of claim 6 .

11. A device for processing cell handover, applicable to user equipment and comprising:

a processor;

memory configured to store processor-executable instructions,

wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to:

obtain a current movement trajectory;

match the current movement trajectory with historical movement trajectories to obtain matching degrees;

determine a target cell according to the historical movement trajectory of the matching degree greater than a preset matching threshold, and correspondences between historical movement trajectories and cells; and

send a handover request to a source base station, the handover request comprising a target cell identifier of the determined target cell,

wherein the processor is further configured to execute the instructions to:

obtain a current movement speed,

determine the target cell according to the historical movement trajectory of the matching degree greater than the preset matching threshold, the current movement speed, and correspondences among historical movement trajectories, movement speeds and the cells,

wherein in response to that the movement speed is in a first speed range, a microcell covering the movement trajectory is determined as the target cell; in response to that the movement speed is in a second speed range, a cell covering the movement trajectory is determined as the target cell and in response to that the movement speed is in a third speed range, a macro cell covering the movement trajectory is determined as the target cell.

12. The device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the instructions to:

obtain a current time; and

determine a historical time associated with the current time,

match the current movement trajectory with the historical movement trajectory corresponding to the historical time.

13. The device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the instructions to:

determine a handover time according to the current movement speed and the determined target cell,

wherein the handover request further comprises the determined handover time.

14. The device of claim 11 , wherein the handover request further comprises a measurement report.
