Abstract

Disclosed are a system and a method for identifying a target DeNB cell for handing over to the target DeNB cell during an inband operation of 3GPP(3^rd Generation Partnership Project) REL-12 mobile relay node. A donor DeNB combines two basic downlink backhaul subframe patterns on the basis of the basic downlink backhaul subframe patterns to configure a downlink backhaul subframe pattern corresponding to a backhaul link operated at the same frequency as that of an access link, and identifies the target donor DeNB cell for handing over on the basis of the downlink backhaul subframe.

Claims

1. A system for identifying a target base station cell, the system comprising:

a plurality of donor base stations positioned on a predetermined track in which a moving object moves, and configured to set a downlink backhaul subframe corresponding to a backhaul link operated at the same frequency as that of an access link by combining two basic downlink backhaul subframe patterns on the basis of a plurality of basic downlink backhaul subframe patterns;

a relay node operation and management server configured to transmit cell list information corresponding to the plurality of donor base stations; and

a mobile relay node managed in an inband manner, and configured to perform cell camping to a cell of a first donor base station based on the cell list information, and to identify a cell of a second donor base station to perform handover from the cell of the first donor base station based on the downlink backhaul subframe.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the first donor base station is configured to set a plurality of downlink backhaul subframe patterns by combining two basic downlink backhaul subframe patterns on the basis of the plurality of basic downlink backhaul subframe patterns, and to set the downlink backhaul subframe by using any one of the plurality of downlink backhaul subframe patterns.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the mobile relay node is configured to measure a reference symbol received power/reference signal received quality (RSRP/RSRQ) of the cell of the first donor base station to compare the measured RSRP/RSRQ with a handover measurement start reference value, and, when the measured RSRP/RSRQ is equal to or less than the reference value based on the comparison, to detect a primary synchronization signal (PSS) and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) of the cell of the second donor base station, without performing backhaul uplink scheduling on the downlink backhaul subframe.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein, when the measured RSRP/RSRQ is equal to or less than the reference value based on the comparison, the mobile relay node is configured to detect the PSS and the SSS of the cell of the second donor base station, without allocating a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) to an uplink backhaul subframe corresponding to the downlink backhaul subframe to transmit the same to the first donor base station, and without transmitting the PSS, the SSS and a master information block (MIB) of the cell of the mobile relay node in the access link.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the relay node operation and management server is further configured to set a physical cell ID (PCI) and a cell global ID of the mobile relay node when power of the mobile relay node is turned on, to prevent collision between PCIs.

6. A method for identifying a target base station cell, the method comprising:

a) performing cell camping to a cell of a first donor base station based on cell list information of a plurality of donor base stations positioned on predetermined tracks in which a moving object moves; and

b) identifying a cell of a second donor base station to perform handover from the cell of the first donor base station based on a down link backhaul subframe, which is configured by combing two basic downlink backhaul subframe patterns on the basis of a plurality of basic downlink backhaul subframe patterns and corresponds to a backhaul link operated at the same frequency as that of an access link.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the downlink backhaul subframe pattern is set by using any one of a plurality of downlink backhaul subframe patterns which are set by combining two basic downlink backhaul subframe patterns the basis of the plurality of basic downlink backhaul subframe patterns.

8. The method of claim 6, wherein the step b) comprises:

b1) measuring RSRP/RSRQ of the cell of the first donor base station and to compare the measured RSRP/RSRQ with a handover measurement start reference value; and

b2) when the measured RSRP/RSRQ is equal to or less than the reference value based on the comparison, detecting a primary synchronization signal (PSS) and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) of the cell of the second donor base station, without performing backhaul uplink scheduling on the downlink backhaul subframe.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the step b2) comprises detecting the PSS and the SSS of the cell of the second donor base station, without allocating a physical uplink shared channel (PUCCH) and a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) to an uplink backhaul subframe corresponding to the downlink backhaul subframe to transmit the same to the first donor base station, and without transmitting the PSS, the SSS and a master information block (MIB) of the cell of the mobile relay node in the access link.

10. The method of claim 6, wherein the step a) further comprises setting a physical cell ID (PCI) and a cell global ID of the mobile relay node when power of the mobile relay node is turned on, to prevent collision between PCIs.
