Embodiment
In order to realize the dynamic assignment of ascending-descending subframes, following scheme can be adopted: within the certain hour cycle, set four kinds of subframe type, comprise the subframe being fixed for downlink transfer, be fixed for the subframe of uplink, and flexible allocation is the subframe of upstream or downstream transmission.Figure 2 shows that example, the described time cycle is a radio frames (being only an example, also may be the other times cycle), wherein subframe #0, #5 is fixing descending sub frame, and subframe #2, #7 are fixing sub-frame of uplink, subframe #1, #6 is special subframe (also can be classified as in fixing descending sub frame), other subframes (#3, #4, #8, #9) for flexible allocation be upstream or downstream transmission subframe.For last class subframe, dynamic-configuration can be carried out according to real-time business demand and channel conditions in base station, to adapt to the dynamic change of business demand.
Only give the method for dynamic-configuration TDD subframe in such scheme, in systems in practice, if different communities is provided with different ascending-descending subframes configurations, then can cause the interference at crossed slot of neighbor cell, as shown in Figure 3.It is to be noted, here neighbor cell can be the community (as shown in Figure 3) of the geographically adjacent same TDD carrier wave of use, also can be the community (such as macrocell) that same layer is disposed, also can be the community (such as comprising macrocell, Microcell, Home eNodeB etc.) that layering is disposed.This type of interference at crossed slot for the impact of systematic function and deployment scenario and wireless environment etc. closely related, if such as close together between neighbor cell, or signal propagation conditions is better, then interference at crossed slot seriously can reduce the estate performance being in accepting state; If distant between neighbor cell, or there is effective signal and block, then interference at crossed slot level is for being in the estate performance impact of accepting state and little.
In above-mentioned solution, although give the method for TDD cell flexible configuration ascending-descending subframes, can not effectively solve interference at crossed slot having a strong impact on systematic function, the flexibility therefore introduced can not ensure even can reduce systematic function.
For the problems referred to above, the embodiment of the present invention gives the coordination system of sub-frame configuration between a kind of TDD cell, make adjacent TDD cell can the suitable TDD sub-frame allocation mode of way selection through consultation, thus evade the adverse effect of interference at crossed slot to systematic function.
In the embodiment of the present invention, suppose that the adjacent TDD cell in consolidated network is be time synchronized community here, and the neighbor cell mentioned can be with neighbor cell frequently, also can be the neighbor cell of adjacent frequency here.
In the embodiment of the present invention, when TDD base station cell judges to need to carry out sub-frame configuration change to this base station cell, send sub-frame configuration as TDD base station cell, source to adjacent target TDD base station cell and change request, the feedback information that receiving target TDD base station cell is replied, according to the feedback information received, judge whether to carry out described sub-frame configuration change to this base station cell, and when being judged as YES, this base station cell is carried out to the relative set of sub-frame configuration.Further, when TDD base station cell to receive after sub-frame configuration that TDD base station cell, source sends changes request message as target TDD base station cell, cross time-slot and the interference at crossed slot level when there is cross time-slot whether is there is between the current sub-frame configuration of the sub-frame configuration expected according to TDD base station cell, this source and this base station cell, determine that the sub-frame configuration accepting or refuse TDD base station cell, this source changes request, and return the feedback information accepting or refuse this sub-frame configuration change request to TDD base station cell, source.
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail.
See Fig. 4, for sub-frame configuration between the TDD cell that the embodiment of the present invention provides coordinates schematic flow sheet, as shown in the figure, this flow process can comprise the following steps:
Step 401, TDD base station cell, source judges whether to need to carry out the change of TDD sub-frame configuration.
In this step, TDD base station cell, source can judge whether to need to carry out the change of TDD sub-frame configuration according to self-demand and residing wireless environment situation.Concrete, the factor that TDD base station cell, source carries out considering when the change of TDD sub-frame configuration judges includes but not limited to following one or several arbitrarily:
A up-downgoing business proportion demand that TDD base station cell, () source is current.Such as, if downlink business increase in demand uplink service demand minimizing simultaneously, then part sub-frame of uplink can be changed and join for descending sub frame.
TDD base station cell, (b) source uplink interference level.Such as, if sub-frame of uplink interference level is higher, then can be higher and determine to disturb its transmission direction of sub-frame of uplink corresponding to the downstream signal coming from adjacent base station community to change to join for descending sub frame by measuring interference level.Concrete, if the sub-frame of uplink of TDD base station cell, source is because coming from the interference of adjacent TDD base station cell downstream signal, cause interference level higher than setting threshold, then this interference level is changed to descending sub frame higher than the sub-frame of uplink of setting threshold.
The descending interference level in TDD base station cell, (c) source.Such as, if descending sub frame interference level is higher, then can be higher and determine that interference comes from adjacent base station community UE(UserEquipment, subscriber equipment by measuring interference level) upward signal launch corresponding to its transmission direction of descending sub frame change and join for sub-frame of uplink.Concrete, if the descending sub frame of TDD base station cell, source is because coming from the interference of the upward signal of adjacent TDD base station cell UE, cause interference level higher than setting threshold, then this interference level is changed to sub-frame of uplink higher than the descending sub frame of setting threshold.
The interference indication information of d adjacent base station community that TDD base station cell, () source receives.Such as, adjacent base station community indicates certain sub-frame of uplink to receive stronger interference, if TDD base station cell, this source is configured with downlink transfer in the subframe of correspondence, is then changed and joins for sub-frame of uplink.Concrete, TDD base station cell, source is according to the interference indication information of the adjacent base station community received, if judge, the interference that this adjacent base station community has sub-frame of uplink to be subject to exceedes setting threshold, and this subframe is configured to descending sub frame in TDD base station cell, source, then this descending sub frame is changed to sub-frame of uplink by source TDD base station cell.
The transmitting power indication information of e adjacent base station community that TDD base station cell, () source receives.Such as, adjacent base station community indicating downlink transmitting power raises, if TDD base station cell, this source is configured with uplink in the subframe of correspondence, is then changed and joins for descending sub frame.
Step 402, if TDD base station cell, source judges to need to carry out the change of TDD sub-frame configuration, then sends TDD sub-frame configuration and changes request message to adjacent target TDD base station cell.
Concrete, this request message can include but not limited to the one or several arbitrarily of following information:
A TDD sub-frame configuration that TDD base station cell, () source is current;
B the target TDD sub-frame configuration changed is expected in TDD base station cell, () source;
C the reason changing TDD sub-frame configuration is expected in TDD base station cell, () source, such as, this reason can be business demand triggering or interference triggered etc.
D TDD base station cell, () source measures and between target TDD base station cell path loss;
E target TDD base station cell downstream signal power that TDD base station cell, () source receives;
TDD base station cell, (f) source downstream signal transmitting power.
Step 403, after target TDD base station cell receives the TDD sub-frame configuration change request message of TDD base station cell, source transmission, according to the target TDD sub-frame configuration that TDD base station cell, source is expected, check and the interference level of whether cross time-slot and cross time-slot between (when the demand of sub-frame configuration change is not now carried out in target TDD base station cell) that this base station cell is current or (when now there is the demand of carrying out sub-frame configuration change target TDD base station cell) TDD sub-frame configuration of expecting.Based on this, target TDD base station cell judges whether that the TDD sub-frame configuration accepting TDD base station cell, source changes request.
Especially, if the TDD sub-frame configuration that target TDD base station cell receives TDD base station cell, multiple source changes request message, then judge one by one for TDD base station cell, each source.
Concrete, the one or any several of following factor can be considered in target TDD base station cell in deterministic process:
Whether a subframe that () exists cross time-slot is the subframe that key message is transmitted in this target TDD base station cell.Such as, this target TDD base station cell is configured with the uplink control signal transmission of Random Access Channel or other keys at a certain sub-frame of uplink, and TDD base station cell, source is expected position corresponding for this subframe to change to join for downlink transfer, then may cause larger hydraulic performance decline to this target TDD base station cell, in such cases, the TDD sub-frame configuration change request of TDD base station cell, source can be refused in target TDD base station cell.
Path loss size between TDD base station cell, (b) source and this target TDD base station cell.Such as, if this path loss is less than pre-determined threshold, then may cause larger interference at crossed slot, in such cases, the TDD sub-frame configuration that TDD base station cell, source can be refused in target TDD base station cell changes request.Wherein, this path loss size can be obtained by one of following several mode:
Mode 1: this path loss is measured in TDD base station cell, source, and the circuit loss value measured is sent to target TDD base station cell;
Mode 2: target TDD base station cell is measured voluntarily and calculated this path loss.Such as, TDD base station cell, the source downstream signal transmitting power by knowing deducts TDD base station cell, the source downstream signal transmitting power that this target TDD base station cell receives and obtains;
Mode 3: the downstream signal power (being set to P_r) of this target TDD base station cell received by it is measured in TDD base station cell, source, and this target TDD base station cell is indirect calculation path loss (PL) accordingly.Such as, this target TDD base station cell downstream signal transmitting power is P_t, then PL=P_t-P_r.
C TDD base station cell, source downstream signal power that () target TDD base station cell receives.Such as, if this power that target TDD base station cell receives is greater than pre-determined threshold, then may cause larger interference at crossed slot, in such cases, the TDD sub-frame configuration that TDD base station cell, source can be refused in target TDD base station cell changes request.
Wherein, this received power size can be obtained by one of following several mode:
Mode 1: TDD base station cell, the source downstream signal power received by it is directly measured in target TDD base station cell;
Mode 2: target TDD base station cell is by knowing source TDD base station cell transmitting power and path loss between the two, and both subtract each other and obtain received power.
D the reason of TDD sub-frame configuration is changed in TDD base station cell, () source.Such as, when calculate or measure interference at crossed slot level similar, if due to cell-of-origin business demand trigger TDD sub-frame configuration change, then its priority can suitably lower than due to interference avoid and trigger TDD sub-frame configuration change priority.
Step 404, request is changed according to the TDD sub-frame configuration whether accepting TDD base station cell, source in target TDD base station cell, sends feedback message to TDD base station cell, source.
Concrete, this feedback message can include but not limited to the one or several arbitrarily of following information:
A () accepts or refusal TDD base station cell, source sub-frame configuration changes the indication information of asking;
B () refusal TDD base station cell, source sub-frame configuration changes the reason of request.Such as, indicate this base station cell (i.e. target TDD base station cell) not accept interference at crossed slot, or instruction TDD base station cell, source transmitting power is excessively high;
C TDD sub-frame configuration situation information that () target TDD base station cell is current;
The TDD sub-frame configuration mode of d TDD base station cell, source that () target TDD base station cell can accept;
The transmitting power of e TDD base station cell, source that () target TDD base station cell can accept.
Step 405, respective handling is carried out according to this feedback message after receiving the feedback message that target TDD base station cell returns in TDD base station cell, source.Such as, if the sub-frame configuration of TDD base station cell, refusal source, target TDD base station cell changes request, then TDD base station cell in source keeps present sub-frame configuration constant; If the sub-frame configuration that target TDD base station cell accepts TDD base station cell, source changes request, then source TDD changes base station cell current sub-frame configuration.
If TDD base station cell, source receives the feedback message of multiple target TDD base station cell, then comprehensively can carry out the setting of TDD sub-frame configuration, such as, if there is at least one target TDD base station cell to reply refuse information, then TDD base station cell in source keeps current sub-frame configuration constant.
Sub-frame configuration between above-mentioned TDD cell coordinates flow process, can carry out in different situations.Such as at least can be triggered in the following two kinds situation:
(1) when TDD cell base station, source opening initialization is complete, before TDD sub-frame configuration is set first;
(2) when in the normal course of operation of TDD cell base station, source, before needing to change TDD sub-frame configuration.
The signalling interactive process of the sub-frame configuration coordination flow process between above-mentioned TDD cell can be as shown in figure sa or figure.Wherein, Fig. 5 A shows the signaling process that target TDD base station cell accepts the sub-frame configuration change request of TDD base station cell, source, and the sub-frame configuration that Fig. 5 B shows TDD base station cell, refusal source, target TDD base station cell changes the signaling process of asking.
It should be noted that, corresponding information interaction approach does not limit in embodiments of the present invention, such as, can by the wireline interface between neighbor cell, as X2 interface or/and S1 interface etc. carry out alternately, also between neighbor cell, directly mutual and information transmission can be carried out by air interface.
By describing above and can finding out, sub-frame configuration coordinate scheme between the TDD cell that the embodiment of the present invention provides, make neighbor cell can the suitable TDD sub-frame allocation mode of way selection through consultation, thus evade the adverse effect of interference at crossed slot to systematic function, TDD sub-frame allocation mechanism flexibly can better be worked, namely while the flexibility of guarantee TDD sub-frame configuration, also avoid the impact of interference at crossed slot on systematic function to a certain extent, improve the availability of technical scheme.
