Description

从宏小区重选到受限网络的方法、 用户终端、 网络侧设备和无线通信系统 技术领域  Method for reselecting from macro cell to restricted network, user terminal, network side device, and wireless communication system
本发明涉及移动通信技术领域, 具体是涉及一种从宏小区重选到受限网 络的方法、 用户终端、 网络侧设备和无线通信系统。  The present invention relates to the field of mobile communication technologies, and in particular, to a method for reselecting from a macro cell to a restricted network, a user terminal, a network side device, and a wireless communication system.
背景技术 Background technique
随着移动通信系统的发展, 系统能够提供的服务质量越来越高。 为保持 With the development of mobile communication systems, the quality of services that the system can provide is getting higher and higher. To keep
3GPP ( The 3rd Generation Partnership Project, 第三代合作伙伴计划) 的长期 竟争优势, 长期演进系统(LTE, Long Term Evolution ) 的标准制定工作正在 进行。 The long-term competitive advantage of 3GPP (The 3rd Generation Partnership Project), the standardization of Long Term Evolution (LTE) is underway.
在 LTE系统中, 用户需求随着系统的发展越来越多样化, 系统设备为了 适应这种需求也出现了多样化, 备受关注的家庭室内覆盖基站、 企业级的内 部覆盖基站以及一些其他受限网络设备应运而生。 这些设备及其所对应的网 络包括: 家庭基站( Home NodeB/Home eNodeB ) 、 家庭小区 ( Home Cell ) 、 接入点( Access Point )、私有网络( Private Network )、私有小区( Private Cell )、 签约用户组(CSG, Closed Subscriber Group )等, 以及一些特定频率层的受 限网络。 这些网络 /小区只允许某些具有相应网络权限的用户驻留 /接入, 同时 还要求这些用户能在公网中驻留 /接入, 将这些网络统称为受限网络。  In the LTE system, user requirements are becoming more and more diversified with the development of the system. System equipment has also diversified in order to meet this demand. The home indoor coverage base station, the enterprise-level internal coverage base station, and some other Limited network equipment came into being. These devices and their corresponding networks include: Home NodeB/Home eNodeB, Home Cell, Access Point, Private Network, Private Cell, Signing User groups (CSG, Closed Subscriber Group), etc., as well as restricted networks at specific frequency layers. These networks/cells only allow certain users with corresponding network rights to camp/access, and also require these users to camp/access in the public network, collectively referred to as restricted networks.
这种受限网络的覆盖范围小, 数量却比较大, 特别是家庭室内覆盖基站 数量巨大, 在这种情况下, 需要对属于受限网络的用户进行有效管理, 同时 尽量减少因受限网络而造成的公网负荷增大等各方面的影响。 而对属于受限 网络的用户进行有效管理的一个重要方面就是对用户从宏小区重选到受限网 络的管理。  The coverage of such a restricted network is small and the number is relatively large, especially the number of indoor indoor coverage base stations is large. In this case, users belonging to the restricted network need to be effectively managed while minimizing the limited network. The impact of the increase in the public network load and other aspects. An important aspect of effective management of users belonging to a restricted network is the management of the user from the macro cell reselection to the restricted network.
目前在 UMTS ( Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, 通用移动 通信系统) 中的一种重选处理方案是, 当驻留在服务小区、 且处于空闲状态 的用户终端 (UE )测量到服务小区的信号质量低于一定的门限值时, 该 UE 开始对同频 /异频 /异系统的邻小区进行测量,并根据 R准则对邻小区信号进行 判断, 从而确定是否进行小区重选。 该 R准则主要是, 当 UE测量到邻小区 时, 如果认为邻小区比服务小区更好, 或者信号质量更强, 则重选到邻小区。 A reselection scheme currently in the UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) is when camped in a serving cell and is in an idle state. When the user equipment (UE) measures that the signal quality of the serving cell is lower than a certain threshold, the UE starts to measure the neighboring cell of the same-frequency/inter-frequency/extra-frequency system, and judges the neighboring cell signal according to the R criterion. , thereby determining whether to perform cell reselection. The R criterion is mainly: when the UE measures the neighboring cell, if the neighboring cell is considered to be better than the serving cell, or the signal quality is stronger, the neighboring cell is reselected.
在实现本发明的过程中, 发明人发现, 使用上述重选方案进行受限网络 重选时,如果受限网络在靠近宏小区中心的位置, 则 UE在宏小区中测量到的 宏小区的信号质量, 几乎都高于启动邻区测量的门限值, 因此 UE不会启动对 受限网络的测量, 也就不可能会重选到受限网络。  In the process of implementing the present invention, the inventors have found that when the restricted network reselection is performed using the above reselection scheme, if the restricted network is located close to the center of the macro cell, the signal of the macro cell measured by the UE in the macro cell is The quality is almost higher than the threshold for starting the neighboring cell measurement, so the UE does not initiate measurements on the restricted network, and it is impossible to reselect the restricted network.
另外, 即使服务小区的信号质量低于启动邻区测量的门限值, 并且 UE 启动了对受限网络的测量,但 UE还是会因为受限网络的信号质量不强于服务 小区, 而不会重选到受限网络。  In addition, even if the signal quality of the serving cell is lower than the threshold for starting the neighbor cell measurement, and the UE initiates the measurement of the restricted network, the UE may not be stronger than the serving cell because the signal quality of the restricted network is not Reselect to a restricted network.
在上述两种情况下, 都会导致在宏小区信号质量较强的情况下, 即使位 于宏小区内或附近的受限网络信号质量能够满足 UE的正常工作需要, UE也 无法重选到该受限网络。  In the above two cases, the UE may not be able to reselect the restricted network signal quality even if the quality of the restricted network signal in or near the macro cell can meet the normal working needs of the UE. The internet.
综上所述, 目前没有针对受限网络的重选方法, 能使 UE在靠近受限网络 时, 在宏小区信号质量较强的情况下, 还能最大程度地优先重选到受限网络。 发明内容  In summary, there is currently no reselection method for the restricted network, which enables the UE to reselect to the restricted network with maximum priority when the macro cell has a strong signal quality when approaching the restricted network. Summary of the invention

步骤 101、 获取用于重选到受限网络的重选门限值。  Step 101: Obtain a reselection threshold for reselecting to a restricted network.
该重选门限值具体可以为信号质量门限值。  The reselection threshold may specifically be a signal quality threshold.
如果所获取的是信号质量门限值, 则该获取方式有多种。  If the obtained signal quality threshold is obtained, there are many ways to obtain it.
比如, 可以由公网的网络侧设置允许重选到受限网络的信号质量门限值, 并由网络侧在宏小区内发送该信号质量门限值; UE则可以从宏小区下发的消 息中获取该信号质量门限值。该宏小区为 UE当前驻留的小区。具体可以由宏 小区在该小区范围内广播该信号质量门限值, 且可以通过系统消息广播该信 号质量门限值, 该信号质量门限值具体可以设置在广播信息的 P-BCH 或 D-BCH中。 且公网的网络侧具体可以为多个受限网络设置同一个门限值; 也 可以将受限网络进行分类, 针对每一类受限网络设置一个门限值; 还可以为 每个受限网络分别设置门限值。  For example, the signal quality threshold that allows the reselection to the restricted network may be set by the network side of the public network, and the signal quality threshold is sent by the network side in the macro cell; the UE may send the message from the macro cell. Obtain the signal quality threshold in . The macro cell is a cell in which the UE currently camps. Specifically, the macro cell may broadcast the signal quality threshold in the range of the cell, and may broadcast the signal quality threshold by using a system message, where the signal quality threshold may be specifically set in the P-BCH or D- of the broadcast information. BCH. The network side of the public network can specifically set the same threshold for multiple restricted networks. The restricted network can also be classified, and a threshold is set for each type of restricted network. The network sets thresholds separately.
还可以由受限网络的网络侧设置信号质量门限值, 并由网络侧在受限网 络小区范围内发送该信号质量门限值, UE则从受限网络下发的消息中获取该 信号质量门限值。 同样, 具体发送方式同样可以是广播该信号质量门限值, 且同样可以通过系统消息广播该信号质量门限值, 该信号质量门限值具体可 以设置在广播信息的 P-BCH或 D-BCH中。 当然, 受限网络的网络侧也可以 设置其他受限网络的信号质量门限值, 并将该信号质量门限值下发给 UE。 该 处理情况下, 也可以设置多个受限网络对应同一个门限值; 还可以将受限网 络进行分类, 针对每一类受限网络预定义一个门限值; 还可以为每个受限网 络分别预定义门限值。 还可以在 UE中为受限网络预定义门限值, 则 UE可以直接获取本 UE中 的信号质量门限值。 之后还可以根据公网或受限网络下发的命令对该信号质 量门限值进行修改,或者通过手工或其他方式进行修改。且在 UE中预定义门 限值的情况下, 也可以设置多个受限网络对应同一个门限值; 还可以将受限 网络进行分类, 针对每一类受限网络预定义一个门限值; 还可以为每个受限 网络分别预定义门限值。 The signal quality threshold may also be set by the network side of the restricted network, and the signal quality threshold is sent by the network side in the restricted network cell, and the UE obtains the signal quality from the message sent by the restricted network. Threshold. Similarly, the specific sending manner may also be to broadcast the signal quality threshold, and the signal quality threshold may also be broadcast through a system message, and the signal quality threshold may be specifically set in the P-BCH or D-BCH of the broadcast information. in. Of course, the network side of the restricted network can also set the signal quality threshold of the other restricted network, and send the signal quality threshold to the UE. In this case, multiple restricted networks may be set to correspond to the same threshold; the restricted network may be classified, and a threshold is predefined for each type of restricted network; The network pre-defined thresholds. The threshold value may also be predefined for the restricted network in the UE, and the UE may directly acquire the signal quality threshold in the UE. The signal quality threshold can be modified according to the commands issued by the public network or the restricted network, or modified manually or by other means. In the case that the threshold is predefined in the UE, multiple restricted networks may be set to correspond to the same threshold. The restricted network may also be classified, and a threshold is predefined for each type of restricted network. ; You can also predefine thresholds for each of the restricted networks.
不管是由公网的网络侧设置, 还是由受限网络的网络侧设置, 还是在 UE 中预定义信号质量门限值, 该信号质量门限值都可以由运营商确定, 也可以 通过网管进行设置, 当然也可以由运营商和网管共同制定。 对于由受限网络 的网络侧设置以及在 UE中预定义门限值这两种情况来说,该信号质量门限值 还可以由用户根据受限网络的特性确定。  Whether it is set by the network side of the public network, the network side of the restricted network, or the predefined signal quality threshold in the UE, the signal quality threshold can be determined by the operator or through the network management. The setup can of course be jointly developed by the operator and the network administrator. For both the network side setting of the restricted network and the predefined threshold in the UE, the signal quality threshold may also be determined by the user based on the characteristics of the restricted network.
另外, 在具体设置信号质量门限值时, 可以根据受限网络小区发射功率 及覆盖范围等信息进行设置, 比如, 所设置的门限值要保证受限网络的发射 功率和 /或覆盖范围能够满足 UE的正常使用需要。  In addition, when the signal quality threshold is specifically set, it may be set according to information such as the transmit power and coverage of the restricted network cell. For example, the set threshold is to ensure that the transmit power and/or coverage of the restricted network can be Meet the normal use needs of the UE.
需要说明的是, 本发明各个实施例中用信号质量来统称终端测量邻小区 的测量对象(如信号强度, 信号质量等) 。 对于不同的无线通信系统有不同 的测量对象, 在此不——列举。  It should be noted that, in various embodiments of the present invention, the signal quality is collectively referred to as the measurement object (such as signal strength, signal quality, etc.) of the neighbor cell. There are different measurement objects for different wireless communication systems, not here - enumeration.
步骤 102、在宏小区中对受限网络小区进行测量,得到受限网络小区的信 号质量信息。  Step 102: Perform measurement on the restricted network cell in the macro cell, and obtain signal quality information of the restricted network cell.
该步骤与现有技术的不同之处在于, 现有技术是在宏小区的信号质量低 于一定门限时, 才对受限网络小区进行测量; 而本步骤 102 不需要执行该处 理, 直接启动。  This step is different from the prior art in that the prior art measures the restricted network cell when the signal quality of the macro cell is lower than a certain threshold; however, this step 102 does not need to perform the processing and is directly started.
在具体实现时, 为避免 UE在附近没有受限网络时所作的无谓测量, UE 还可以通过宏小区与相邻受限网络小区的对应关系确定是否存在与宏小区相 邻的受限网络, 并在确定存在相邻的受限网络后, 确定该相邻的受限网络为 待测量的受限网络, 并对所确定的受限网络进行测量。 对于 LTE系统而言, 其用 TA ( Tracking Area, 跟踪区 )取代了 UMTS 系统中的 LA(Location Area, 位置区域), 针对这种情况, 为避免 UE在附近没 有受限网络时作无谓的测量, 则可以在终端中记录与允许接入的受限网络小 区相邻的宏小区所在的 TA的标识,当终端确定自身记录的信息中包括了宏小 区所在 TA的标识时, 则可以确定当前需要对受限网络进行测量, 并对宏小区 周围的受限网络小区进行测量。 In a specific implementation, in order to avoid unnecessary measurement by the UE when there is no restricted network in the vicinity, the UE may further determine whether there is a restricted network adjacent to the macro cell by using a correspondence between the macro cell and the neighboring restricted network cell, and After determining that there is an adjacent restricted network, the adjacent restricted network is determined to be a restricted network to be measured, and the determined restricted network is measured. For the LTE system, it replaces the LA (Location Area) in the UMTS system with a TA (Tracking Area). In this case, it is necessary to make unnecessary measurements when the UE has no restricted network nearby. The identifier of the TA where the macro cell adjacent to the restricted network cell that is allowed to access is located in the terminal may be recorded in the terminal. When the terminal determines that the information recorded by the terminal includes the identifier of the TA where the macro cell is located, the current need may be determined. The restricted network is measured and the restricted network cells around the macro cell are measured.
步骤 103、根据测量到的受限网络小区的信号质量与步骤 101中获取的信 号质量门限值, 确定 UE是否重选到该受限网络。  Step 103: Determine, according to the measured signal quality of the restricted network cell and the signal quality threshold obtained in step 101, whether the UE reselects to the restricted network.
具体来说, 如果所获取的是信号质量门限值, 则步骤 103 即为: 判断测 量到的受限网络小区的信号质量是否大于所获取的信号质量门限值, 如果是, 则确定该 UE重选到该受限网络。  Specifically, if the obtained signal quality threshold is obtained, step 103 is: determining whether the measured signal quality of the restricted network cell is greater than the acquired signal quality threshold, and if yes, determining the UE Reselect to the restricted network.
另夕卜,如果步骤 103中测量到多个允许本 UE接入的受限网络,则可以对 多个受限网络小区测量结果进行比较, 重选到最优小区。 当然也可以根据这 些受限网络的情况通过其他选择方式进行重选。  In addition, if a plurality of restricted networks that allow the UE to access are measured in step 103, the plurality of restricted network cell measurements may be compared and reselected to the optimal cell. Of course, it is also possible to reselect other options depending on the circumstances of these restricted networks.
通过上述处理流程,即可保证 UE根据信号质量门限值在最大程度上重选 到受限网络,且该 UE是否重选主要取决于受限网络的情况, 而不会因为宏小 区信号质量好而无法重选到受限网络。  Through the above process, the UE can be reselected to the restricted network according to the signal quality threshold, and whether the UE is reselected mainly depends on the condition of the restricted network, and the signal quality of the macro cell is not good. It is not possible to reselect to a restricted network.
并且 UE优选到受限网络小区,还减轻了公网的负荷,并使用户尽量享受 到在受限网络小区内发起业务的计费优惠。  And the UE prefers to the restricted network cell, which also reduces the load on the public network and enables the user to enjoy the charging preferential service for starting the service in the restricted network cell.
另夕卜,上述步骤 101和 102的顺序并无严格限制,即可以先执行步骤 101 , 也可以先执行步骤 102, 还可以同时执行这两个步骤。  In addition, the order of the above steps 101 and 102 is not strictly limited, that is, step 101 may be performed first, or step 102 may be performed first, or both steps may be performed simultaneously.
实施例二  Embodiment 2
本发明的另一方法实施例是根据受限网络与相邻宏小区之间的偏移值 ( Qoffset )进行判断。  Another method embodiment of the present invention is to determine based on an offset value (Qoffset) between a restricted network and a neighboring macro cell.
具体来说, 上述步骤 101 中所获取的信号重选门限值, 具体可以为受限 网络与相邻宏小区之间的偏移值(Qoffset ) 。 这种情况下, 由于受限网络的 数量通常比较大, 而宏小区的数量较小, 因此较佳的实现方式是由受限网络 的网络侧设置本受限网络小区与相邻宏小区之间的 Qoffset,并下发该 Qoffset。 与前述信号质量门限值类似,该 Qoffset也可以在 UE中设置并记录,该 Qoffset 值还可以根据受限网络下发的信息进行修改, 当然也可以以其他方式进行修 改。 Specifically, the signal reselection threshold value obtained in the foregoing step 101 may specifically be an offset value (Qoffset) between the restricted network and the neighboring macro cell. In this case, due to the limited network The number is usually large, and the number of macro cells is small. Therefore, a preferred implementation is to set the Qoffset between the restricted network cell and the neighboring macro cell by the network side of the restricted network, and deliver the Qoffset. Similar to the foregoing signal quality threshold, the Qoffset can also be set and recorded in the UE. The Qoffset value can also be modified according to the information delivered by the restricted network, and can also be modified in other ways.
该 Qoffset的具体设置同样与信号质量门限值类似, 可以由运营商确定, 也可以通过网管设置, 还可以由用户根据受限网络的特性确定。  The specific setting of the Qoffset is also similar to the signal quality threshold, which can be determined by the operator, can also be set by the network management, or can be determined by the user according to the characteristics of the restricted network.
在该方法实施例中, 除了需要执行上述步骤 102, 即在宏小区中对受限网 络小区进行测量, 得到受限网络小区的信号质量信息之外, 还需要执行对宏 小区信号质量的测量。  In the method embodiment, in addition to performing the foregoing step 102, that is, measuring the restricted network cell in the macro cell to obtain the signal quality information of the restricted network cell, it is also required to perform measurement on the macro cell signal quality.
相应地, 上述步骤 103 中, 才艮据测量到的受限网络小区的信号质量与重 选门限值,确定 UE是否重选到受限网络,具体还需要根据宏小区的信号质量 进行判断。 在该实施例中, 上述步骤 103 需要执行的操作具体为: 将测量到 的受限网络小区的信号质量、 宏小区的信号质量以及所获取的 Qoffset, 根据 R准则来判断 UE是否重选到该受限网络。具体可以是根据受限网络的信号质 量及 Qoffset计算 Rn , 即 Rn=Qmeasure,n-Qoffset, 根据宏小区的信号质量计 算 Rs, 即 Rs=Qmeasure,s+Qhyst, 如果 Rn>Rs则执行重选。  Correspondingly, in the foregoing step 103, it is determined whether the UE reselects to the restricted network according to the measured signal quality and the reselection threshold of the restricted network cell, and specifically needs to perform judgment according to the signal quality of the macro cell. In this embodiment, the operations to be performed in the foregoing step 103 are specifically: determining the signal quality of the restricted network cell, the signal quality of the macro cell, and the acquired Qoffset according to the R criterion, and determining whether the UE is reselected to the Restricted network. Specifically, Rn may be calculated according to the signal quality of the restricted network and Qoffset, that is, Rn=Qmeasure, n-Qoffset, and Rs is calculated according to the signal quality of the macro cell, that is, Rs=Qmeasure, s+Qhyst, and if Rn>Rs, reselection is performed. .
另外, 与实施例一的方法实施例类似, 上述获取受限网络小区及宏小区 的信号质量, 以及获取 Qoffset值并无特别的先后顺序限制。  In addition, similar to the method embodiment of the first embodiment, the foregoing obtaining the signal quality of the restricted network cell and the macro cell, and obtaining the Qoffset value are not particularly limited.
通过上述处理, 即可保证 UE根据受限网络与宏小区间的 Qoffset, 在最 大程度上重选到受限网络,且该 UE是否重选主要取决于受限网络的情况, 而 不会因为宏小区信号质量好而无法重选到受限网络。  Through the above processing, the UE can be guaranteed to reselect to the restricted network according to the Qoffset between the restricted network and the macro cell, and whether the UE is reselected depends mainly on the limited network, and not because of the macro. The cell signal quality is good and cannot be reselected to the restricted network.
同样, UE从宏小区优选到受限网络小区, 还减轻了公网的负荷, 并使用 户尽量享受到在受限网络小区内发起业务的计费优惠。  Similarly, the UE reduces the load on the public network from the macro cell preference to the restricted network cell, and the user enjoys the charging preference for starting the service in the restricted network cell as much as possible.
本领域普通技术人员可以理解实现上述方法实施例中的全部或部分步 骤, 是可以通过程序指令相关硬件完成的。 实施例对应的软件可以存储在一 个计算机可存储读取的介质中, 如 R0M/RAM、 磁碟、 光盘等。 Those skilled in the art can understand that all or part of the steps in implementing the above method embodiments can be completed by program-related hardware. The software corresponding to the embodiment can be stored in a A computer can store the read media, such as ROM/RAM, disk, CD, and so on.

Identify, identify the current need to measure the restricted network.
另外, 对于信号质量获取模块来说, 如果重选门限值获取模块所获取的 是 Qoffset值, 则该信号质量获取模块还需要执行对宏小区信号质量的测量。  In addition, for the signal quality acquisition module, if the reselection threshold acquisition module obtains the Qoffset value, the signal quality acquisition module also needs to perform measurement on the macro cell signal quality.

对于重选判定模块 202来说, 如果受限网络的重选门限值是受限网络小 区的信号质量门限值, 则该重选判定模块具体可以执行: 判断测量到的受限 网络小区的信号质量是否大于所获取的信号质量门限值, 如果是, 则确定本 如果受限网络的重选门限值是受限网络小区与宏小区之间的 Qoffset值, 则, 相应地, 还需要信号质量获取模块获取当前宏小区的信号质量, 该重选 判定模块则具体可以执行: 将测量到的受限网络小区的信号质量、 宏小区的 信号质量以及所获取的 Qoffset, 根据 R准则来判断本 UE是否重选到该受限 网络。 For the reselection decision module 202, if the reselection threshold of the restricted network is the signal quality threshold of the restricted network cell, the reselection determining module may specifically perform: determining the measured restricted network cell Whether the signal quality is greater than the obtained signal quality threshold, and if so, determine this If the reselection threshold of the restricted network is a Qoffset value between the restricted network cell and the macro cell, correspondingly, the signal quality acquiring module is further required to obtain the signal quality of the current macro cell, and the reselection determining module is specific. The method may be performed: determining, according to the R criterion, whether the UE is reselected to the restricted network according to the measured signal quality of the restricted network cell, the signal quality of the macro cell, and the acquired Qoffset.
另外, 对于图 2所示用户终端中的重选门限值获取模块来说, 所述受限 网络的重选门限值, 可以是 UE自身保存的, 即 UE自身进一步包括一个存储 模块, 其中保存受限网络的重选门限值。  In addition, for the reselection threshold acquisition module in the user terminal shown in FIG. 2, the reselection threshold of the restricted network may be saved by the UE itself, that is, the UE itself further includes a storage module, where Save the reselection threshold for the restricted network.
该受限网络的重选门限值还可以是: 通过网络侧下发的消息获取的, 且 该网络侧可以是宏小区的网络侧, 也可以是受限网络的网络侧。  The reselection threshold of the restricted network may also be: obtained by using a message sent by the network side, and the network side may be the network side of the macro cell or the network side of the restricted network.
通过图 2所示的 UE, 即可保证 UE在最大程度上重选到受限网络, 且该 UE是否重选主要取决于受限网络的情况, 而不会因为宏小区信号质量好而无 法重选到受限网络。 并且, UE优选到受限网络小区, 还减轻了公网的负荷, 并使用户尽量享受到在受限网络小区内发起业务的计费优惠。  Through the UE shown in FIG. 2, the UE can be guaranteed to reselect to the restricted network to the greatest extent, and whether the UE is reselected depends mainly on the condition of the restricted network, and cannot be heavy because the quality of the macro cell signal is good.

Moreover, the UE prefers to the restricted network cell, and also reduces the load on the public network, and enables the user to enjoy the charging preferential service for starting the service in the restricted network cell.
在通过网络侧下发重选门限值的情况下, 本发明装置实施例的宏小区 /受 限网络的网络侧设备需要包括发送模块和重选门限值确定模块。 其中, 网络 侧设备的重选门限值确定模块, 用于确定受限网络的重选门限值, 并通过发 送模块发送给 UE。 且网络侧设备具体可以通过广播消息下发该重选门限值, 当然也可以以其他方式下发该重选门限值, 其具体下发方式不是本发明实施 例的讨论重点。  In the case that the reselection threshold is sent through the network side, the network side device of the macro cell/restricted network of the device embodiment of the present invention needs to include a sending module and a reselection threshold determining module.
