Embodiment
For existing system for cognitive radio; Like 802.22 systems; Because the time-frequency structure by OFDM (OFDM) symbol and subcarrier are formed is placed control channel and user data in proper order, therefore, if 802.22 systems and narrow band width wireless communication systems coexistence; Even dispatch user data not on the shared frequency of narrow band width wireless communication systems, also can owing to control channel receives that narrow band interference causes can't proper communication between user terminal (UE) and base station (eNB).
But for the Long Term Evolution that possesses the cognitive radio function (LTE) system (being designated hereinafter simply as the LTE system); Because in its frame structure; Any one down control channel in the control domain transmission all is dispersed to the enterprising row transmission of whole bandwidth; Therefore, even on certain narrower frequency location, received than strong jamming, UE still can come this down control channel of right demodulation according to the signal that on other frequency, receives; Up direction, as long as narrow band interference is not the two ends that are present in bandwidth, promptly not with the location overlap of ascending control channel, then not influence; That is to say that dispatch user data only otherwise on the shared frequency of narrow band width wireless communication systems can guarantee the proper communication between UE and the eNB; In addition, in case of necessity, the eNB in the LTE system also need turn down the transmitting power of self signal, so that the LTE system can satisfy the requirement of frequency control to the interference of narrow band width wireless communication systems.So, can guarantee all not exist between the both sides interference.
Based on above-mentioned introduction, the operational version of the idle TV channel among the present invention after a kind of improvement of proposition.
For make technical scheme of the present invention clearer, understand, below with reference to the accompanying drawing embodiment that develops simultaneously, scheme according to the invention is done to specify further.
Fig. 1 is the flow chart of the method for using embodiment of the idle TV channel of the present invention.As shown in Figure 1, may further comprise the steps:
Step 11:LTE system works is on an idle TV channel, and the eNB in the system obtains frequency spectrum detecting result.
In this step, can obtain frequency spectrum detecting result by eNB when satisfying trigger condition at every turn.
Said triggering can be periodic triggers or the triggering of incident property; As arriving predetermined timing during the moment when each; Perhaps; When the signal quality on certain frequency location was lower than predetermined the requirement, eNB promptly need obtain frequency spectrum detecting result, whether to have narrow band width wireless communication systems on the idle TV channel of confirming the place.
ENB described in the present embodiment and UE all need possess spectrum detection function; Promptly detect the ability of narrow-band interference signal (being the signal of narrow band width wireless communication systems), when the power of narrow-band interference signal when lower and far away apart from eNB, eNB possibly detect less than; So then need detect by UE; And return testing result to eNB, otherwise, then can detect by eNB; If desired, under above-mentioned two kinds of situation, also can come to detect jointly by eNB and UE, the testing result that obtains like this will be more accurate.
Correspondingly, in this step, eNB obtain frequency spectrum detecting result mode can for:
1) eNB carries out frequency spectrum detection, obtains frequency spectrum detecting result;
2) eNB notifies each UE of subordinate to carry out frequency spectrum detection, receives the frequency spectrum detecting result that each UE reports;
Each UE can report frequency spectrum detecting result through frequency spectrum detecting result report;
3) eNB carries out frequency spectrum detection, obtains frequency spectrum detecting result, and notifies each UE of subordinate to carry out frequency spectrum detection, receives the frequency spectrum detecting result that each UE reports.
Need to prove that above-mentioned 3 kinds of modes are merely and illustrate, and in practical application, if adopt other mode, also are fine.
Concrete which kind of mode that adopts can be decided according to the actual requirements.Wherein, for mode 2) and 3), eNB also can return response message to UE after receiving the frequency spectrum detecting result that UE reports, and UE has received its frequency spectrum detecting result that reports with notice.
If detect narrow-band interference signal, will carry the power and the shared information such as frequency range of narrow-band interference signal of narrow-band interference signal in the above-mentioned frequency spectrum detecting result.
Step 12: when confirming according to frequency spectrum detecting result to have narrow band width wireless communication systems on should free time TV channel; ENB is according to the protection requirement of frequency spectrum detecting result and narrow band width wireless communication systems; Determining whether to share with narrow band width wireless communication systems should free time TV channel, if not, then execution in step 13; If then execution in step 14.
In this step, eNB confirms whether there is narrow band width wireless communication systems on the idle TV channel at self place, if do not exist, then using alone according to existing mode should free time TV channel according to the frequency spectrum detecting result that obtains in the step 11; If exist; Then further according to the protection requirement of frequency spectrum detecting result that obtains in the step 11 and narrow band width wireless communication systems; Determining whether to share with narrow band width wireless communication systems should free time TV channel, and according to the different processing mode of different following adopted of confirming the result.
How determining whether to share with narrow band width wireless communication systems free time TV channel to be prior art.
Each UE of step 13:eNB and subordinate switches on other idle TV channel together.
How to switch to prior art.
Follow-up how the processing with scheme according to the invention has nothing to do, and do not introduce.
Step 14:eNB confirms the protection range of narrow band width wireless communication systems, and is the resource of UE scheduling except that the shared frequency of narrow band width wireless communication systems in the protection range.
Protection range how to confirm narrow band width wireless communication systems is similarly prior art.
In order to guarantee not dispatch user data on the shared frequency of narrow band width wireless communication systems; In this step; Be the new resource of the scheduling of the UE in the protection range that is in narrow band width wireless communication systems, this new resource must be the resource except that the shared frequency of narrow band width wireless communication systems; Follow-up, eNB can notify new scheduled resources to corresponding UE.
In addition, in this step, in case of necessity, eNB also need turn down the transmitting power of self signal, so that the LTE system can satisfy the requirement of frequency control to the interference of narrow band width wireless communication systems.Turn down transmitting power under which kind of situation and what are turned down and all can be decided according to the actual requirements.
Through an example flow process shown in Figure 1 is further specified below:
