Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
       [0001]    The disclosure relates to a dual connectivity technology for mobile communication, and particularly to a method, device and system for reporting a Power Headroom Report (PHR) in dual connectivity. 
       BACKGROUND 
       [0002]    In a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, current power transmitted by a User Equipment (UE) is not allowed to exceed maximum of power transmitted by the UE. The UE usually notifies an Evolved Node B (eNB) of a difference between the maximum of power transmitted by the UE and current transmitted power of an Uplink Shared Channel (UL-SCH) and a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCC) by a PHR reporting process. And the eNB performs uplink scheduling and link adaptation according to the difference, and further determines whether to perform power control (for example, to reduce the transmitted power or to increase the transmitted power, and a power magnitude required to be regulated) to meet a requirement that the current power transmitted by the UE is not allowed to exceed the maximum of power transmitted by the UE while an optimal receiving effect is achieved. The PHR reporting process is implemented by transmitting a Media Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE) of a PHR to a network side by the UE. In a current technology, there exist the following conditions triggering the UE to report the PHR: change in a path loss exceeds a specified threshold, a timer for periodic reporting times out, a configuration of the PHR changes, a Secondary Cell (Scell) is activated, and power back-off caused by power control exceeds a specified threshold. A triggering and transmitting process for a PHR in the current technology, as shown in  FIG. 1 , includes the following steps. 
         [0003]    In Step  101 , UE is triggered to report the PHR. 
         [0004]    There exist the following conditions triggering the UE to report the PHR: change in a path loss exceeds a specified threshold, a timer for periodic reporting times out, a configuration of the PHR changes, an SCell is activated, and power back-off caused by power control exceeds a specified threshold. 
         [0005]    In Step  102 , the UE receives authorization for an uplink transmitted by an eNB. 
         [0006]    In Step  103 , the UE reports the PHR to the eNB. 
         [0007]    In Step  104 , the eNB determines to perform power regulation on the UE according to the PHR. 
         [0008]    In Step  105 , the eNB transmits a notification message of power regulation to the UE. 
         [0009]    In an LTE system, a process for establishing a call with the UE includes: a process of establishing a control-plane link and user-plane link between the UE and an eNB and a process of establishing a control-plane link and user-plane link between the eNB and a core network. After the process for establishing a call with the UE, control-plane data between the eNB and the core network is born by a connection established between the eNB and a Mobility Management Entity (MME) in the core network, and user-plane data between the eNB and the core network is born by an Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) Radio Access Bearer (ERAB) established between the eNB and a Serving GateWay (SGW) in the core network; and user-plane data between the eNB and the UE is born by Data Radio Bearers (DRBs), each DRB being configured with an identifier, and control-plane data is born by Signalling Radio Bearer (SRB), each SRB being configured with an identifier. 
         [0010]    Due to lack of spectrum resources and sharp increase of high-traffic services of mobile users, a requirement on adoption of a high frequency point, such as 3.5 GHz, for hotspot coverage becomes increasingly obvious, and adopting a low-power node to increase user throughput and enhance mobility performance becomes a new application scenario. However, at a high frequency point, a signal is attenuated more seriously, and a cell has a smaller coverage area, and does not belong to the same station with an existing cell, so that many corporations and operating companies tend to seek for new enhancement solutions, of which one is dual connectivity. Under dual connectivity, UE may keep connections with more than two network nodes at the same time, but a control-plane connection is a connection established with only one cell therein, such as a macro cell. Multiple network nodes of UE are multiple eNBs, and delays between the eNBs are nonnegligible. For example, a network node is a macro eNB, called a Macro eNB (MeNB), and another network node is a small eNB, called a Small eNB (SeNB). In order to conveniently manage and reduce scheduling delays, there exists a Primary Cell (Pcell) and an Scell on the MeNB, and there exists a Primary Secondary Cell (PScell) on the SeNB. 
         [0011]    In dual connectivity, in order to better perform load balancing between eNBs and maximally optimize cell resources, split DRBs are introduced. In dual connectivity, there exists a split DRB and a non-split DRB. The non-split DRB may exist in an MeNB or an SeNB only, and there may be three types of DRBs, wherein a DRB only existing on an MeNB is called an MeNB bearer for short, a DRB only existing on an SeNB is called an SeNB bearer for short, and DRBs existing on both the MeNB and the SeNB are called split DRBs for short. Under a background that DRBs exist on both an MeNB and an SeNB, there is yet no technology disclosed for how to trigger reporting of a PHR.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
       [0044]    In the embodiment of the disclosure, UE establishes split DRBs, determines change in uplink transmission of the split DRBs, and reports a PHR according to the change in the uplink transmission. 
         [0045]    The disclosure will be further described below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments in detail. 
         [0046]    The embodiment of the disclosure implements a method for reporting a PHR in dual connectivity, and as shown in  FIG. 2 , the method includes the following steps. 
         [0047]    In Step  201 , a UE establishes split DRBs. 
         [0048]    Specifically, the UE establishes DRBs with the same identifier with a first eNB and a second eNB to make the DRB exist on both the first eNB and the second eNB to form the split DRBs. Here, the first eNB and the second eNB represent two different eNBs. Generally, one eNB is an MeNB and the other is an SeNB. 
         [0049]    The step that the UE establishes the DRBs with the same identifier with the first eNB and the second eNB includes: the UE establishes data connections with a cell of the first eNB and a cell of the second eNB respectively. 
         [0050]    In Step  202 , the UE determines change in uplink transmission. 
         [0051]    In the step, the change in the uplink transmission is determined in any one of the following manners. 
         [0052]    In a first manner, the UE receives uplink transmission switching indication information transmitted by the first eNB or the second eNB, and determines to switch uplink transmission from the first eNB to the second eNB or from the second eNB to the first eNB according to the uplink transmission switching indication information. In case of switching from the first eNB to the second eNB, the first eNB transmits a request to the second eNB for changing a bearer, and after receiving an agreement of the second eNB, notifies the UE of stopping performing uplink data transmission through the first eNB and starting performing uplink data transmission through the second eNB. The uplink transmission switching indication information is arranged to indicate whether to switch uplink transmission from the first eNB to the second eNB or from the second eNB to the first eNB, and may be an indicator bit or an independent cell. 
         [0053]    In a second manner, the UE receives a cell deletion command transmitted by the first eNB or the second eNB, deletes a corresponding cell according to the cell deletion command, and switches uplink transmission from the deleted cell to another cell. 
         [0054]    In a third manner, the UE receives a cell addition command transmitted by the first eNB or the second eNB, adds a corresponding cell according to the cell addition command, and expands the uplink transmission to the added cell, that is, uplink data transmission is performed on an original cell and the added cell at the same time. 
         [0055]    In a fourth manner, the UE receives a cell deletion command and cell addition command transmitted by the first eNB or the second eNB, deletes a corresponding cell according to the cell deletion command, adds a corresponding cell according to the cell addition command, and switches uplink transmission from the deleted cell to the added cell. 
         [0056]    In Step  203 , the UE triggers and reports the PHR according to the change in the uplink transmission.

         [0062]    Alternatively, the first eNB or the second eNB transmits a cell deletion command to the UE. 
         [0063]    Alternatively, the first eNB or the second eNB transmits a cell addition command to the UE. 
         [0064]    Alternatively, the first eNB or the second eNB transmits a cell deletion command and a cell addition command to the UE. 
         [0065]    In Step  303 , the first eNB and/or the second eNB receive/receives the PHR reported by the UE. 
         [0066]    The disclosure also provides a method for reporting a PHR in dual connectivity. As shown in  FIG. 4 , the method includes the following steps.

         [0111]    In a fourth condition, the UE  71  receives the cell deletion command and cell addition command transmitted by the first eNB  72  or the second eNB  73 , deletes a corresponding cell according to the cell deletion command, adds a corresponding cell according to the cell addition command, and switches the uplink transmission from the deleted cell to the added cell. 
         [0112]    For better understanding the disclosure, the disclosure will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. 
       Embodiment 1 
       [0113]    In the embodiment, UE establishes a connection with a cell  1 , the cell  1  is a Pcell, a DRB  1  is established, only exists on an eNB  1 , and is an MeNB bearer, and uplink and downlink transmissions both are implemented through an MeNB, namely through the cell  1 . A method for reporting a PHR in dual connectivity, as shown in  FIG. 8 , includes the following steps. 
         [0114]    In Step  801 , with increase of traffic, the eNB  1  adds a cell  4  of an eNB  2  to the UE according to a measurement report, namely transmitting configuration information of the cell  4  to the UE. The cell  4  is a PScell. At the same time, the DRB  1  is modified to a split DRB, that is, the DRB  1  exists on both the eNB  1  and the eNB  2 , and the uplink transmission is implemented through the eNB  1 . 
         [0115]    In Step  802 , the UE receives the configuration information of the cell  4 , adds the cell  4 , and modifies the DRB  1  into the split DRB. 
         [0116]    In Step  803 , when there are insufficient uplink resources on the cell  1 , the eNB  1  determines to switch the uplink transmission on the DRB  1  to the eNB  2 , and transmits to the eNB  2  a request for modifying the bearer. The request may contain related configuration information, such as uplink configuration information, of the DRB  1  on the eNB  1 . 
         [0117]    In Step  804 , the eNB  2  receives the request for modifying the bearer, reserves a resource for the DRB  1 , and returns a bearer modification response to the eNB  1  to agree to modification. The response may contain related configuration information of the DRB  1  on the eNB  2 . 
         [0118]    In Step  805 , the eNB  1  receives the bearer modification response of the eNB  2 , and transmits a bearer modification command to the UE. The bearer modification command includes uplink transmission switching indication information arranged to indicate the uplink transmission of the DRB  1  to be switched from the eNB  1  to the eNB  2 . The uplink transmission switching indication information may be an indicator bit, or an independent cell in a related configuration of the DRB  1  on the eNB  2 . 
         [0119]    In Step  806 , the UE receives the uplink transmission switching indication information, switches the uplink transmission of the DRB  1  from the eNB  1  to the eNB  2 , simultaneously triggers PHR reporting to the eNB  1  and the eNB  2 , and transmits a PHR of a currently activated cell, such as the cell  1  and the cell  4 , to the eNB  1  and the eNB  2  in a subsequent authorization for an uplink. 
         [0120]    In the embodiment, after Step  806 , when the uplink transmission of the DRB  1  is switched from the eNB  2  to the eNB  1 , PHR reporting to the eNB  1  and the eNB  2  is also triggered. 
       Embodiment 2 
       [0121]    UE establishes a connection with a cell  1  which is a Pcell, and a DRB  1  is established. The DRB  1  only exists on an eNB  1 , and is an MeNB bearer. Uplink and downlink transmissions both are implemented through the cell  1  on an MeNB. A method for reporting a PHR in dual connectivity, as shown in  FIG. 9 , includes the following steps. 
         [0122]    In Step  901 , with increase of traffic, the eNB  1  adds a cell  4  of an eNB  2  to the UE according to a measurement report, namely transmitting configuration information of the cell  4  to the UE which is a PScell. At the same time, the DRB  1  is amended into a split DRB, that is, the DRB  1  exists on both the eNB  1  and the eNB  2 . Moreover, due to insufficient uplink resources of the cell  1 , the eNB  1  switches uplink transmission of the DRB  1  to the eNB  2  by transmitting an indicator bit or an independent cell in a related configuration of the DRB  1  on the eNB  2  to the UE as uplink transmission switching indication information. 
         [0123]    In Step  902 , the UE receives the configuration information of the cell  4 , adds the cell  4 , modifies the DRB  1  into the split DRB, and switches the uplink transmission of the DRB  1  from the eNB  1  to the eNB  2 . 
         [0124]    In Step  903 , the UE finds that the uplink transmission of the DRB  1  is switched from the eNB  1  to the eNB  2 , then triggers PHR reporting to the eNB  1  and the eNB  2 , and transmits a PHR of a current activated cell, such as the cell  1  and the cell  4 , to the eNB  1  and the eNB  2  in a subsequent authorization for an uplink. 
         [0125]    In the embodiment, if the DRB  1  is changed to be established on the eNB  2 , i.e. an SeNB, uplink and downlink transmissions both are implemented through the cell  4  on the SeNB, and a process of modifying the DRB  1  into the split DRB and switching uplink transmission from the eNB  2  to the eNB  1  is similar to the abovementioned step, and will not be repeatedly described. 
         [0126]    In Step  903 , since the eNB  2  is a new node to which the uplink data is transmitted, the UE may only trigger PHR reporting to the eNB  2  and transmit the PHR of the current activated cell, such as the cell  1  and the cell  4 , to the eNB  2  in the subsequent authorization for an uplink. 
       Embodiment 3 
       [0127]    UE establishes a connection with a cell  1  which is a Pcell. In addition, a cell  3  of an eNB  2  is added, and a DRB  1  is established, and the DRB  1  exists on both an eNB  1  and the eNB  2 , and is a split DRB. Uplink transmission is implemented through the eNB  2 . A method for reporting a PHR in dual connectivity, as shown in  FIG. 10 , includes the following steps. 
         [0128]    In Step  1001 , the eNB  1  finds, according to a measurement report, that signal quality of the cell  3  of the eNB  2  becomes poorer and signal quality of a cell  4  of the eNB  2  becomes better, and the eNB  1  determines to delete the cell  3  and add the cell  4 . 
         [0129]    In Step  1002 , the UE receives a deletion command for the cell  3  and an addition command for the cell  4 , deletes the cell  3 , adds the cell  4 . PHR reporting to the eNB  2  is triggered because the uplink transmission of the DRB  1  is implemented through the eNB  2  and the cell  3  is replaced with the cell  4 . A PHR of a current activated cell, such as the cell  1  and the cell  4 , is transmitted to the eNB  2  in a subsequent authorization for an uplink. 
         [0130]    In Step  1003 , the eNB  1  acquires that the signal quality of the cell  4  becomes poorer according to a measurement report, and the eNB  1  determines to delete the cell  4 , and transmits a deletion command for the cell  4  to the UE. 
         [0131]    In Step  1004 , the UE receives the deletion command for the cell  4 , executes deletion of the cell  4 , PHR reporting to the eNB  1  is triggered because the DRB  1  is modified from the split DRB into an MeNB bearer and uplink transmission is also switched from the eNB  2  to the eNB  1 . The PHR of the current activated cell, such as the cell  1 , is transmitted to the eNB  1  in the subsequent authorization for an uplink. 
         [0132]    In Step  1002 , if the cell  4  is directly added without deleting the cell  3 , carrier aggregation of the cell  3  and the cell  4  is formed on the eNB  2 . At this moment, because the uplink transmission is switched from the cell  3  to the cell  3  plus the cell  4  to make a change happen, PHR reporting to the eNB  2  is also triggered. Under the condition that both the cell  3  and the cell  4  are used, if the cell  4  is deleted, uplink transmission also changes, so that PHR reporting to the eNB  2  is also triggered. 
         [0133]    After implementation of the embodiment, the uplink transmission of the DRB  1  is implemented through the MeNB, and when a cell on the MeNB changes, PHR reporting to the eNB  2  is also correspondingly triggered. 
         [0134]    The above is only the preferred embodiment of the disclosure and not intended to limit the scope of protection of the disclosure. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements and the like made within the spirit and principle of the disclosure shall fall within the scope of protection of the disclosure. 
       INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY 
       [0135]    From each of the abovementioned embodiments of the disclosure, a technical means for triggering reporting of the PHR under the condition of the split DRB in the dual connectivity is provided for the UE, so that the eNBs may timely acquire the uplink transmitted power of the UE on the two eNBs to further perform power regulation for more reasonable scheduling in case of the change in the uplink transmission under the condition of the split DRB.
