Background
Wireless communication systems currently include two forms, GSM and CDMA. Currently operating in GSM systems, 900M and 1800M dual band solutions are commonly used. For CDMA systems, the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) has established a plurality of frequency bands available for CDMA systems, and although in china only frequency band 0 is used for traffic reasons, with the increasing number of users, the use of only one frequency band in CDMA systems is not satisfactory for users, and cell resources are inevitably increasingly strained, and therefore, like GSM systems, a plurality of frequency bands are inevitably used to provide services to users at the same time.
When the mobile device is powered on, it will attempt to contact the Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) allowed by the SIM/USIM card, and the mobile device will select an appropriate cell and obtain control channel parameters and other system configuration information from that cell, a process known as cell selection.
When the mobile device is powered on for cell selection, it will first make full band measurements in order to search for an available target cell and camp on. In the GSM system, the mobile device will first search 124 RF channels in GSM900 frequency band, and then search 374 RF channels in GSM1800 frequency band if dual-band is supported, and read the received signal strength on each RF channel, calculate the average level, the whole measurement process will last 3-5 s, and at least 5 measurement sampling points will be extracted from different RF channels during this time.
The mobile device tunes to the carrier with the highest received level and first determines whether the carrier is a Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH) carrier (by searching for FCCH bursts), and if so, the mobile station will attempt to decode the Synchronization Channel (SCH) to synchronize to the carrier and read the system broadcast messages on the Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH). The mobile station may select the cell if the mobile device can correctly decode the data of the Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH) and if the data indicates that the cell belongs to the selected public mobile network (PLMN), the value of the parameter C1 is greater than 0, the cell is not barred from access, and the access class of the mobile station is not barred by the cell. Otherwise, the mobile device will tune to the next highest carrier and repeat the above attempts until an available cell is found.
The parameter C1 is a path loss criterion for cell selection, and the serving cell's C1 must be greater than 0, which is expressed as follows:
C1=RXLEV-RXLEV_ACCESS_MIN-MAX((MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH-P),0)
unit: dBm
Wherein:
● RXLEV is the average level of mobile station reception
● RXLEV _ ACCESS _ MIN is the minimum receiving level for allowing ACCESS of the mobile station
● MS _ TXPWR _ MAX _ CCH is the maximum transmit power level that can be used by a mobile station to access the system
● P is the maximum output power of the mobile station
If no suitable cell is found after all 30 strongest radio channels are searched, the mobile will continue to monitor all RF channels, search for Broadcast Control Channels (BCCH) with C1 greater than 0 and which are forbidden to access, and when this carrier is found, the mobile will camp on this cell regardless of public mobile network (PLMN) information, when the mobile only supports emergency calls.
For CDMA systems, cell selection is roughly divided into the following parts:
(1) cell search
The purpose of cell search is to find a suitable cell and obtain its synchronization channel information, and the general steps are as follows:
(a) time slot synchronization
Since the synchronization codes of all primary Synchronization Channels (SCHs) in a Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) are the same and transmitted in the first 256 chips of each slot (slot), the same is found in each slot (slot). The mobile device uses a matched filter to achieve synchronization of the time slots.
(b) Frame synchronization
Frame synchronization is performed after slot synchronization, the frame synchronization is performed by using synchronization codes of a secondary Synchronization Channel (SCH), the synchronization codes of the secondary Synchronization Channel (SCH) have 16 synchronization codes, which are different in each slot, 64 groups of code sequences are formed according to the difference of code words in each slot, the 64 groups of code sequences have a characteristic that the cyclic shift results of the 64 groups of code sequences are unique, so that the mobile device performs correlation operation by using one of the 64 groups of code sequences and the received signal, and the secondary synchronization sequence with the largest correlation value is the secondary synchronization sequence used by the cell and determines the scrambling code group and the frame synchronization of the cell.
(c) Primary scrambling code acquisition
There are 8 primary scrambling codes in the scrambling code group, the mobile device calculates the correlation between each scrambling code in the scrambling code group and the scrambling code used on the common pilot channel (CPICH), and the scrambling code with the largest correlation value is the primary scrambling code of the cell.
(2) Reading broadcast channels
Since the synchronization information of the cell has already been obtained in step 1, the information on the broadcast channel of the cell can be obtained based on the information, and the general steps are as follows:
(a) master Information Block (MIB) acquisition
The master information block gives reference and scheduling information for most of the system information blocks in the cell, which may also contain reference and scheduling information for one or two scheduling blocks that give reference and scheduling information for all additional system information blocks not given by other master information. The master information block is periodically transmitted on the broadcast channel and its scheduling is static. The main information includes Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) information in addition to other System Information Blocks (SIBs) and scheduling information of the scheduling block, and the cell selection process is restarted if it is determined that the currently acquired PLMN information is not consistent with the PLMN of the cell currently to be camped on.
(b) Acquisition of System Information Block (SIB)
After reading the MIB, the mobile device may obtain other system information blocks according to the scheduling information in the MIB. For cell selection, the system information block type 3(SIB3) of the most dominant system information block contains cell selection information parameters, as shown in table 1. Then calculated according to the following formula:
Squal=Qqualmeas-Qqualmin
Srxlev=Qrxlevmeas-Qrxlevmin-Pcompensation
wherein the meaning of the individual parameters is given in table 1 below:
Squal |
cell selection quality value |
Srxlev |
Cell selection received signal level value |
Qqualmeas |
Cell selection quality value measured in CPICH Ec/N0 mode |
Qrxlevmeas |
Cell selection level value measured in CPICH RSCP |
Qqualmin |
Acceptable signal quality minimum |
Qrxlevmin |
Acceptable minimum value of level |
UE_TXPWR_MAX_RACH |
Maximum transmit power on uplink channel |
P_MAX |
Maximum transmit power of a mobile device |
Pcompensation |
Max(UE_TXPWR_MAX_RACH-P_MAX,0) |
If the Squal is greater than 0 and the Srxlev is greater than 0, the mobile equipment determines that the cell is a proper cell to reside and reads other required system information, and the cell is selected successfully; if the above condition is not met, the cell selection procedure is restarted.
From the above description, it can be calculated that, for a mobile device supporting GSM dual-band, there are 498 (124+374) RF channels that need to be measured when the mobile device is turned on, each channel at least guarantees 5 measurement sampling points, and there are 2490 (498 × 5) sampling points that need to be measured when the whole full-band measurement is completed. However, it is not necessary to measure so many frequency points for initial cell selection, and if it can be quickly camped on a certain cell (even if it is not optimal), it can be finally camped on the optimal cell by means of cell reselection. While camping on a cell by reselection consumes much less resources than camping on a full band.
Moreover, if the signal strength indication of each cell in the frequency band is only used (based on the RSSI value, the strongest RF channel is tried first, and then, the strongest RF channel is used), the probability of cell selection failure is inevitably increased, and the number of cell camping attempts is increased.
For CDMA systems, although only band 0 is currently used, with the increasing number of users in CDMA systems, the use of multi-band support is a necessary option. Although there are great differences between the CDMA system and the GSM system, and the multi-band handover problem is not considered too much in the protocols and standards related to the CDMA system, the principle for controlling the initial selection of cells is consistent, and if a full-band measurement mode is adopted, there will be a problem similar to the GSM system.
In summary, the power consumption, the power-on time, and the calculation cost of the mobile device are greatly consumed by adopting the full-band measurement mode, and the use cost of the mobile device is inevitably increased greatly.

determining a band selection priority W according to the result value of the above calculationj,WjThe larger the value, the higher its priority. The priority being both indicative of the cellThe stationarity of the stationing shows the distribution of the frequency band where the cell stationing frequency point is located.
In step 201, judging whether a measurement frequency band exists, if so, executing step 202; otherwise, there is no available frequency band, the mobile device is not successful in camping under the access technology, and the process is finished.
In step 202, the parsing and generating operation of the cell selection list is performed, and the specific operation process is described in detail later.
In step 203, the result of step 202 is judged, if there is a cell selection list, step 204 is executed; otherwise, return to step 201.
In step 204, the target cell with the highest priority in the cell selection list is selected to perform camping while the cell is deleted from the cell selection list to ensure that the target cell is not repeatedly tried. The camping action mainly includes synchronization of the target cell and system information of the received broadcast channel, and the action is performed according to the existing protocols and standards, and the present invention is not further described.
In step 205, it is determined whether the target cell meets the cell camping condition, and the determination of whether the cell camping is successful is performed according to the existing protocols and standards, which is not further described in the present invention. If the camping condition is satisfied, the mobile device camps on the cell, then step 206 is executed, the information of the currently camped cell is updated to the storage device, and the process is ended; if the camping condition is not satisfied, step 207 is executed to remove the information of the currently attempted target cell from the storage device, and the step 203 is returned to select the cell with the highest priority in the cell selection list to retry camping.
From the above, it can be seen that the two key operations of cell camping are selection of band measurement priority and generation of cell selection list.
Please refer to fig. 3 and fig. 4, which illustrate how the cell selection list is generated under GSM and CDMA access technologies, respectively.
Referring to fig. 3, in step 301, a frequency band with the highest priority for band measurement is selected, and RSSI (signal strength indicator) values of all frequency points of the frequency band are measured.
In step 302, an RSSI decision threshold RSSI is calculated according to the cell camping history tableTHThe algorithm directly adopts a statistical averaging mode. The RSSI measured values and the RSSI of all frequency points in the frequency band are comparedTHIn comparison, the frequency points higher than or equal to the threshold are added into the list of the primary cells, and the frequency points lower than the threshold are abandoned.
In step 303, it is determined whether an available target cell exists in the initially selected cell list, and if not, it indicates that there is no available target cell in the current frequency band, and the cell selection list is failed to be generated, and then the process returns. And if there is an available target cell in the initially selected cell list, step 304 is performed.
In step 304, the present invention analyzes and sets the selection priority of each target cell in the primary cell list according to the cell camping history table and the neighbor cell history table. The GSM neighbor cell history table is shown in table 4.

The neighbor cell history records only a neighbor cell list of the current serving cell stored before the power-off, and the capacity is M. The selection priority of each cell of the cell selection list is set using the following formula:
Qi=RSSIi+Offsetiwherein OffsetiThe values of (A) are as follows:
wherein Offset in the above formulaiThe value of (1) needs to be calculated through experimental simulation (the offset parameters are reduced in sequence), and the invention does not limit the specific calculation mode.
In step 305, the cell selection lists are sorted in descending order according to the selection priority, so as to ensure that the first target cell in the list has the highest priority, the cell selection list is successfully generated, and the process is ended.
Therefore, the generation of the cell selection list under the GSM access technology is mainly related to the RSSI (signal level indicator), the cell camping history table and the neighbor cell history table.
Referring back to fig. 4, which is a flow chart illustrating the generation of a cell selection list under CDMA access technology, steps 401, 402, and 403 are substantially identical to the functions illustrated in fig. 3, and in step 403, if it is determined that a primary cell list exists, step 404 is executed. If the primary cell selection list does not exist, the generation of the cell selection list fails, and the process is ended.
In step 404, a pilot channel strength value (RSCP) is measured for each target cell existing in the primary cell list;
in step 405, calculating a pilot channel carrier-to-interference ratio (ECN0) of each cell according to the pilot channel strength values of the respective cells measured in step 404;
in step 406, RSCP values of RSCP and ECN0 are calculated according to the pilot channel strength value and pilot channel carrier-to-interference ratio in the cell camping history tableTHAnd ECN0THThe measured value obtained in step 405 is compared with two thresholds in turn, and if the measured value is greater than or equal to the threshold, the cell is added to the cell secondary selection list, otherwise, the cell is discarded.
Meanwhile, in step 406, the obtained cell secondary selection lists are further required to be arranged in descending order of RSCP.
In step 407, it is determined whether there is an available target cell in the cell secondary selection list, and if not, the generation of the cell selection list fails, and the process ends. If so, step 408 is performed.
And step 408, analyzing and setting the selection priority of each target cell in the secondary cell selection list according to the cell camping history list and the neighbor cell history list. A neighbor cell history table under CDMA access technology is shown in table 5.
