Description

分配时频资源的方法和装置Method and device for allocating time-frequency resources

技术领域technical field

本发明实施例涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种分配时频资源的方法和装置。Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a method and device for allocating time-frequency resources.

背景技术Background technique

随着移动通信技术的快速发展,使用多媒体移动业务的用户设备(userequipment,UE)的数量也在持续增长。各种移动业务数量众多,且不断增长,这给运营商带来了巨大的挑战。因此,需要一种策略来更有效地使用现有频谱。With the rapid development of mobile communication technologies, the number of user equipment (user equipment, UE) using multimedia mobile services is also increasing continuously. There are a large number of various mobile services, and they continue to grow, which brings great challenges to operators. Therefore, a strategy is needed to use the existing spectrum more efficiently.

图1示出了一种使用分配时频资源的传统方法的小区模式。当通用移动通讯系统(Universal Mobile Telecommunications System,UMTS)的流量降到预设水平以下时,UMTS无线接入技术(radio access technology,RAT)释放5M的时频资源。这种模式下,所释放的5M小区时频资源根据某一参数独占地交替分配给长期引进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)RAT或UMTS RAT。例如,当认为UMTS RAT小区流量较少时,UMTS RAT释放5M的小区时频资源并分配给LTE RAT;当认为UMTS RAT小区流量较多时,LTE RAT释放5M的小区时频资源并分配给UMTS RAT。然而,该5M的时频资源在任一时刻只能分配给一个RAT,因此,小区的整体吞吐能力较低。Fig. 1 shows a cell pattern using a conventional method of allocating time-frequency resources. When the traffic of Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) drops below a preset level, UMTS radio access technology (radio access technology, RAT) releases 5M time-frequency resources. In this mode, the released 5M cell time-frequency resources are exclusively and alternately allocated to Long Term Evolution (LTE) RAT or UMTS RAT according to a certain parameter. For example, when UMTS RAT cell traffic is considered to be low, UMTS RAT releases 5M cell time-frequency resources and allocates them to LTE RAT; when UMTS RAT cell traffic is considered large, LTE RAT releases 5M cell time-frequency resources and allocates them to UMTS RAT . However, the 5M time-frequency resource can only be allocated to one RAT at any time, therefore, the overall throughput of the cell is low.

Apparently, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

图2A示出了根据本发明一项实施例的装置200的简化方框图。图2B示出了可以应用本发明的一项实施例的场景。其中,结合图2B对图2A进行说明。Figure 2A shows a simplified block diagram of an apparatus 200 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2B shows a scenario in which an embodiment of the present invention may be applied. Wherein, FIG. 2A is described in conjunction with FIG. 2B.

装置200可用于分配小区频带上的时频资源。该小区属于基站,其中,所述基站至少用于通过第一随机接入技术(random access technology,RAT)进行数据传输,以及通过第二RAT进行数据传输。例如,第一RAT和第二RAT可以为全球移动通信系统(Global systemfor mobile communications,GSM)RAT、通用移动通讯系统(Universal MobileTelecommunications System,UMTS)RAT以及长期引进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)RAT中的任意两个。此处的LTE是指频分双工(frequency division duplex,FDD)模式下的LTE,即上行信道带宽与下行信道带宽成对存在。换句话说,基站用于实现GSM RAT、UMTS RAT和LTERAT等不同RAT的集成部署。例如,该基站为融合无线接入网(single radio accessnetwork,SRAN)基站。在下面的描述中,第一RAT是指UMTS RAT,第二RAT是指LTE RAT。当UMTS RAT的流量降到预设水平以下时,UMTS RAT释放频带。待分配的频带中具有可兼容通过第一RAT进行的数据传输和通过第二RAT进行的数据传输的带宽。例如,可兼容通过UMTSRAT进行的数据传输和通过LTE RAT进行的数据传输的最小带宽为5M。The apparatus 200 can be used for allocating time-frequency resources on a frequency band of a cell. The cell belongs to a base station, where the base station is at least used for performing data transmission through a first random access technology (random access technology, RAT) and performing data transmission through a second RAT. For example, the first RAT and the second RAT may be Global system for mobile communications (Global system for mobile communications, GSM) RAT, Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, UMTS) RAT and long-term introduction (Long Term Evolution, LTE) RAT any two. The LTE here refers to LTE in a frequency division duplex (frequency division duplex, FDD) mode, that is, the uplink channel bandwidth and the downlink channel bandwidth exist in pairs. In other words, base stations are used to enable integrated deployment of different RATs such as GSM RAT, UMTS RAT and LTETERAT. For example, the base station is a converged radio access network (single radio access network, SRAN) base station. In the following description, the first RAT refers to the UMTS RAT, and the second RAT refers to the LTE RAT. When the traffic of the UMTS RAT drops below a preset level, the UMTS RAT releases the frequency band. The frequency band to be allocated has a bandwidth compatible with data transmission through the first RAT and data transmission through the second RAT. For example, the minimum bandwidth compatible with data transmission via UMTSRAT and data transmission via LTE RAT is 5M.

在图2B中,该场景下存在小区222和小区228两个小区。小区228是小区222的邻区,小区222和小区228分别属于基站220和基站226。该场景中还存在中央控制节点242,用于控制信令处理。中央控制节点242可包括但不限于:融合无线接入网(radio access network,RAN)控制器(single RAN controller,SRC)、网络管理系统(network management system,NMS)、网元管理系统(element management system,EMS)或者移动性管理实体(mobilitymanagement entity,MME)。In FIG. 2B , there are two cells, cell 222 and cell 228 , in this scenario. Cell 228 is a neighboring cell of cell 222, and cell 222 and cell 228 belong to base station 220 and base station 226, respectively. In this scenario, there is also a central control node 242 for controlling signaling processing. The central control node 242 may include but not limited to: a converged radio access network (radio access network, RAN) controller (single RAN controller, SRC), a network management system (network management system, NMS), a network element management system (element management system, EMS) or a mobility management entity (mobility management entity, MME).

在一个示例中,装置200可以由基站220来实施分配基站220的主服务小区222的时频资源。装置200也可以由基站226来实施分配基站226的主服务小区228的时频资源。在另一个示例中,装置200可以由中央控制节点242来实施分配小区222的时频资源和小区228的时频资源中的至少一个。In an example, the apparatus 200 may be implemented by the base station 220 to allocate time-frequency resources of the main serving cell 222 of the base station 220 . The device 200 may also be implemented by the base station 226 to allocate time-frequency resources of the primary serving cell 228 of the base station 226 . In another example, the central control node 242 of the apparatus 200 may allocate at least one of the time-frequency resources of the cell 222 and the time-frequency resources of the cell 228 .

出于说明性目的,在下面的描述中,装置200用于分配小区222的时频资源,但并不限于此,应该理解的是,本发明还适用于基站226,用于分配基站226的主服务小区228的时频资源,或者适用于中央控制节点242,用于分配小区228或其它任何小区的时频资源。小区222中存在一个或多个小区中心用户设备(cell-center user equipment,CCU)以及一个或多个小区边缘用户设备(cell-edge user equipment,CEU)。基站220用于通过第一RAT进行数据传输以及通过第二RAT进行数据传输。For illustrative purposes, in the following description, the device 200 is used to allocate time-frequency resources of the cell 222, but it is not limited thereto. It should be understood that the present invention is also applicable to the base station 226, and is used for allocating the main The time-frequency resources of the serving cell 228, or applicable to the central control node 242, are used to allocate the time-frequency resources of the cell 228 or any other cell. There are one or more cell-center user equipment (cell-center user equipment, CCU) and one or more cell-edge user equipment (cell-edge user equipment, CEU) in the cell 222 . The base station 220 is used for data transmission through the first RAT and data transmission through the second RAT.

如图2A所示,装置200包括配置单元204和分配单元206。配置单元204和分配单元206可以通过处理器来实现,例如,基站220中的处理器或者中央控制节点242中的处理器。此处所使用的术语“处理器”是指一个或多个设备、电路和/或如计算机程序指令等用于处理数据的处理核。As shown in FIG. 2A , the device 200 includes a configuration unit 204 and an allocation unit 206 . The configuring unit 204 and the allocating unit 206 may be implemented by a processor, for example, a processor in the base station 220 or a processor in the central control node 242 . As used herein, the term "processor" refers to one or more devices, circuits, and/or processing cores, such as computer program instructions, for processing data.

配置单元204用于基于频带上的时频资源,配置至少三类时频资源。三类时频资源包括第一时间周期的第一类时频资源,第二时间周期的第二类时频资源,以及第三时间周期的第三类时频资源。第一时间周期、第二时间周期和第三时间周期可循环出现。第一时间周期、第二时间周期和第三时间周期以子帧或时隙为单元来表示,但不限于此。The configuring unit 204 is configured to configure at least three types of time-frequency resources based on the time-frequency resources on the frequency band. The three types of time-frequency resources include the first type of time-frequency resources in the first time period, the second type of time-frequency resources in the second time period, and the third type of time-frequency resources in the third time period. The first time period, the second time period and the third time period may occur cyclically. The first time period, the second time period and the third time period are expressed in units of subframes or time slots, but are not limited thereto.

在一个示例中,配置单元204用于设置第一时间周期的长度、第二时间周期的长度和第三时间周期的长度。配置单元204还用于在时域上设置第一时间周期、第二时间周期和第三时间周期之间的顺序。在一个示例中,不同时间周期的长度和顺序是随机设置的。例如,第一类时频资源对应的第一时间周期的长度可随机设置为两个时隙,而顺序为:第一时间周期先于第二时间周期,第二时间周期先于第三时间周期。在另外一个示例中,不同时间周期的长度和顺序根据预定的配置来设置。In an example, the configuration unit 204 is configured to set the length of the first time period, the length of the second time period and the length of the third time period. The configuration unit 204 is further configured to set a sequence among the first time period, the second time period and the third time period in the time domain. In one example, the length and order of the different time periods are set randomly. For example, the length of the first time period corresponding to the first type of time-frequency resource can be randomly set as two time slots, and the order is: the first time period is prior to the second time period, and the second time period is prior to the third time period . In another example, the length and sequence of the different time periods are set according to a predetermined configuration.

分配单元206用于将第一时间周期的第一类时频资源分配给通过第一RAT与小区222中的第一基站进行数据传输的一个或多个CCU,以及分配给通过第二RAT与小区222中的第一基站进行数据传输的一个或多个CCU;将第二时间周期的第二类时频资源分配给通过第一RAT与小区222中的第一基站进行数据传输的一个或多个CEU;以及将第三时间周期的第三类时频资源分配给通过第二RAT与小区222中的第一基站进行数据传输的一个或多个CEU。The allocating unit 206 is configured to allocate the first type of time-frequency resources in the first time period to one or more CCUs that perform data transmission with the first base station in the cell 222 through the first RAT, and to allocate the time-frequency resources of the first type to the cell through the second RAT One or more CCUs performing data transmission by the first base station in 222; allocating the second type of time-frequency resources in the second time period to one or more CCUs performing data transmission with the first base station in cell 222 through the first RAT CEUs; and allocating a third type of time-frequency resource in a third time period to one or more CEUs that perform data transmission with the first base station in the cell 222 through the second RAT.

图2C示出了如何将时频资源分配为三类时频资源的示例。在图2C的示例中,第一时间周期、第二时间周期和第三时间周期循环出现两次,循环周期为2个子帧(即4个时隙)。图2C所示为从子帧1的时隙TS1到子帧2的时隙TS2的第一周期T1,以及从子帧3的时隙TS1到子帧4的时隙TS2的第二周期T2。第一时间周期包括第一周期T1中子帧1的时隙TS1和子帧1的时隙TS2,以及包括第二周期T2中子帧3的时隙TS1和子帧3的时隙TS2。第二时间周期包括第一周期T1中子帧2的时隙TS1,以及包括第二周期T2中子帧4的时隙TS1。第三时间周期包括第一周期T1中子帧2的时隙TS2,以及包括第二周期T2中子帧4的时隙TS2。Fig. 2C shows an example of how to allocate time-frequency resources into three types of time-frequency resources. In the example in FIG. 2C , the first time period, the second time period and the third time period appear twice in a cycle, and the cycle period is 2 subframes (ie, 4 time slots). FIG. 2C shows a first period T1 from time slot TS1 of subframe 1 to time slot TS2 of subframe 2, and a second period T2 from time slot TS1 of subframe 3 to time slot TS2 of subframe 4. The first time period includes time slot TS1 of subframe 1 and time slot TS2 of subframe 1 in the first period T1, and time slot TS1 of subframe 3 and time slot TS2 of subframe 3 in the second period T2. The second time period includes time slot TS1 of subframe 2 in the first period T1 and time slot TS1 of subframe 4 in the second period T2. The third time period includes time slot TS2 of subframe 2 in the first period T1, and time slot TS2 of subframe 4 in the second period T2.

因此,第一时间周期中,通过第一RAT与基站220进行数据传输的一个或多个CCU以及通过第二RAT与基站220进行数据传输的一个或多个CCU使用第一类时频资源;第二时间周期中,通过第一RAT与基站220进行数据传输的一个或多个CEU使用第二类时频资源;第三时间周期中,通过第二RAT与基站220进行数据传输的一个或多个CEU使用第三类时频资源。Therefore, in the first time period, one or more CCUs that perform data transmission with the base station 220 through the first RAT and one or more CCUs that perform data transmission with the base station 220 through the second RAT use the first type of time-frequency resources; In the second time period, one or more CEUs that perform data transmission with the base station 220 through the first RAT use the second type of time-frequency resources; in the third time period, one or more CEUs that perform data transmission with the base station 220 through the second RAT The CEU uses the third type of time-frequency resources.

在下行数据传输操作中,假设根据上述方法分配小区222的时频资源,则在第一时间周期中,基站220使用第一类时频资源发送下行数据至通过第一RAT进行数据传输的小区222的CCU;同时,基站220同样使用第一类时频资源发送下行数据至通过第二RAT进行数据传输的小区222的CCU。在第二时间周期中,基站220使用第二类时频资源发送下行数据至通过第一RAT进行数据传输的CEU。在第三时间周期中,基站220使用第三类时频资源发送下行数据至通过第二RAT进行数据传输的CEU。UE 224监测物理下行控制信道(physicaldownlink control channel,PDCCH)以获取物理下行共享信道(physical downlinkshared channel,PDSCH)的指示信息,以便根据获取到的指示信息接收PDSCH中对应的下行数据。In the downlink data transmission operation, assuming that the time-frequency resources of the cell 222 are allocated according to the above method, in the first time period, the base station 220 uses the first type of time-frequency resources to send downlink data to the cell 222 for data transmission through the first RAT At the same time, the base station 220 also uses the first type of time-frequency resource to send downlink data to the CCU of the cell 222 that performs data transmission through the second RAT. In the second time period, the base station 220 uses the second type of time-frequency resources to send downlink data to the CEUs performing data transmission through the first RAT. In the third time period, the base station 220 uses the third type of time-frequency resources to send downlink data to CEUs performing data transmission through the second RAT. The UE 224 monitors a physical downlink control channel (physical downlink control channel, PDCCH) to acquire indication information of a physical downlink shared channel (physical downlink shared channel, PDSCH), so as to receive corresponding downlink data in the PDSCH according to the acquired indication information.

在上行数据传输操作中,在UE 224完成下行同步以及从物理广播信道(physicalbroadcast channel,PBCH)和PDSCH中获取系统信息之后,UE 224获得资源分配信息和接入配置信息。资源分配信息指示UE 224传输上行数据的时频资源的类型。当UE 224请求随机接入网络时,UE 224根据接入配置信息,通过物理随机接入信道(physical random accesschannel,PRACH)向基站220发送上行随机接入前导码,以进行上行同步。在UE 224成功接入网络后,例如,当UE 224需要使用一项服务时,UE 224通过物理上行控制信道(physicaluplink control channel,PUCCH)发送服务请求(service request,SR),以请求上行调度。然后,UE 224监测PDCCH获取物理上行共享信道(physical uplink shared channel,PUSCH)的指示信息,以便根据资源分配信息以及获取到的指示信息在PUSCH中传输上行数据。In the uplink data transmission operation, after the UE 224 completes downlink synchronization and acquires system information from a physical broadcast channel (physical broadcast channel, PBCH) and PDSCH, the UE 224 obtains resource allocation information and access configuration information. The resource allocation information indicates the type of time-frequency resource for UE 224 to transmit uplink data. When the UE 224 requests random access to the network, the UE 224 sends an uplink random access preamble to the base station 220 through a physical random access channel (PRACH) according to the access configuration information for uplink synchronization. After the UE 224 successfully accesses the network, for example, when the UE 224 needs to use a service, the UE 224 sends a service request (service request, SR) through a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) to request uplink scheduling. Then, the UE 224 monitors the PDCCH to acquire indication information of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), so as to transmit uplink data in the PUSCH according to the resource allocation information and the acquired indication information.

例如,若UE 224为通过第一RAT进行数据传输的CCU或通过第二RAT进行数据传输的CCU,则资源分配信息指示UE 224使用第一类时频资源来传输上行数据。若UE 224为通过第一RAT进行数据传输的CEU,则资源分配信息指示UE 224使用第二类时频资源来传输上行数据。若UE 224为通过第二RAT进行数据传输的CEU,则资源分配信息指示UE 224使用第三类时频资源来传输上行数据。For example, if the UE 224 is a CCU performing data transmission through the first RAT or a CCU performing data transmission through the second RAT, the resource allocation information indicates that the UE 224 uses the first type of time-frequency resources to transmit uplink data. If the UE 224 is a CEU that performs data transmission through the first RAT, the resource allocation information instructs the UE 224 to use the second type of time-frequency resources to transmit uplink data. If the UE 224 is a CEU that performs data transmission through the second RAT, the resource allocation information instructs the UE 224 to use the third type of time-frequency resource to transmit uplink data.

因此,根据以上所述方法分配时频资源,在第一时间周期的任意时刻,通过第一RAT进行数据传输的CCU和通过第二RAT进行数据传输的CCU均能够竞用第一类时频资源以进行数据传输。从时域上来说,为小区中心每个RAT分配的时频资源的时间延长了。只要控制小区中心的吞吐率高于阈值,则提高了小区中心的系统吞吐能力。Therefore, by allocating time-frequency resources according to the method described above, at any time in the first time period, both the CCUs performing data transmission through the first RAT and the CCUs performing data transmission through the second RAT can compete for the first type of time-frequency resources for data transfer. From the perspective of the time domain, the time-frequency resource allocated to each RAT in the cell center is extended. As long as the throughput rate of the control cell center is higher than the threshold, the system throughput capability of the cell center is improved.

例如,现有技术中,时频资源通过时分方式独占地交替分配给第一RAT和第二RAT。在某一时间周期t内,时频资源在时间周期t1中独占地分配给第一RAT,而在时间周期t2中则独占地分配给第二RAT,其中t=t1+t2。出于说明目的,当时频资源独占地分配给第一RAT和第二RAT中的一个时,假设第一RAT吞吐率为R1,第二RAT吞吐率为R2,则现有技术中,时间周期t期间小区中心的系统吞吐能力等于R1*t1+R2*t2。For example, in the prior art, time-frequency resources are exclusively and alternately allocated to the first RAT and the second RAT in a time-division manner. In a certain time period t, the time-frequency resources are exclusively allocated to the first RAT in the time period t1, and exclusively allocated to the second RAT in the time period t2, where t=t1+t2. For the purpose of illustration, when time-frequency resources are exclusively allocated to one of the first RAT and the second RAT, assuming that the throughput rate of the first RAT is R1, and the throughput rate of the second RAT is R2, then in the prior art, the time period t During this period, the system throughput capacity of the cell center is equal to R1*t1+R2*t2.

在本申请的一项实施例中,由于第一时间周期中第一RAT和第二RAT之间的竞争干扰,第一RAT的吞吐率和第二RAT的吞吐率可能分别略微降至η1*R1和η2*R2,其中η1和η2分别表示第一RAT和第二RAT吞吐率的衰减因子。但是,由于在时间周期t中,两个RAT共享时频资源,因此,为每个RAT分配的时间延长到t。这样,根据本申请的一项实施例,小区中心的系统吞吐能力在时间周期t中增大到η1*R1*t+η2*R2*t。其中,只要控制衰减因子η1和η2满足以下条件:In one embodiment of the present application, due to the competitive interference between the first RAT and the second RAT in the first time period, the throughput rate of the first RAT and the throughput rate of the second RAT may be slightly reduced by η1*R1 respectively and η2*R2, where η1 and η2 represent the attenuation factors of the first RAT and the second RAT throughput, respectively. However, since the two RATs share time-frequency resources during the time period t, the time allocated for each RAT is extended to t. Thus, according to an embodiment of the present application, the system throughput of the cell center increases to η1*R1*t+η2*R2*t in the time period t. Wherein, as long as the control attenuation factors η1 and η2 meet the following conditions:

η1*R1+η2*R2>R1*t1/t+R2*t2/t,η1*R1+η2*R2>R1*t1/t+R2*t2/t,

则提高了小区中心的系统吞吐能力。Then the system throughput capacity of the cell center is improved.

例如,假设R1=R2=R,则衰减因子η1和η2必须满足η1+η2>1。因此,现有技术中,在时间周期t期间小区中心的系统吞吐能力等于R*t。根据本发明的一项实施例,小区中心的系统吞吐能力在时间周期t期间大于R*t。因此,提高了小区中心的系统吞吐能力。For example, assuming R1=R2=R, the attenuation factors η1 and η2 must satisfy η1+η2>1. Therefore, in the prior art, the system throughput capability of the cell center is equal to R*t during the time period t. According to an embodiment of the invention, the system throughput capability of the cell center is greater than R*t during the time period t. Therefore, the system throughput capability of the cell center is improved.

另一方面,第二类时频资源和第三类时频资源分别分配给通过所述第一RAT进行数据传输的CEU和通过第二RAT进行数据传输的CEU。因此,CEU不会受到通过不同RAT进行数据传输的其它UE的强干扰。相应地,提高了小区边缘CEU的吞吐率和吞吐能力,同时也提高了小区整体的吞吐能力。On the other hand, the time-frequency resources of the second type and the time-frequency resources of the third type are respectively allocated to CEUs that perform data transmission through the first RAT and CEUs that perform data transmission through the second RAT. Therefore, the CEU will not suffer strong interference from other UEs that transmit data through different RATs. Correspondingly, the throughput rate and throughput of the cell edge CEU are improved, and the overall throughput of the cell is also improved.

回到图2A,可选地,装置200还包括阈值控制单元202。阈值控制单元202用于设置小区222的阈值。该阈值用于确定小区222中的UE如UE 224为CCU或CEU。在一个示例中,该阈值以信干噪比(signal to interference plus noise ratio,SINR)的形式来表示。通过比较UE 224的SINR和阈值大小,确定UE 224为CCU或CEU。若UE 224的SINR大于该阈值,则UE224为CCU;若UE 224的SINR小于或等于该阈值,则UE 224为CEU。在另一个示例中,该阈值以UE 224与基站220之间的距离的形式来表示。通过比较UE 224与基站220之间的距离和阈值的大小,确定UE 224为CCU或CEU。若距离小于该阈值,则UE 224为CCU;若距离大于或等于该阈值,则UE 224为CEU。Returning to FIG. 2A , optionally, the device 200 further includes a threshold control unit 202 . The threshold control unit 202 is used for setting the threshold of the cell 222 . The threshold is used to determine whether a UE in cell 222, such as UE 224, is a CCU or a CEU. In an example, the threshold is expressed in the form of a signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR). By comparing the SINR of UE 224 with the threshold value, it is determined that UE 224 is a CCU or CEU. If the SINR of the UE 224 is greater than the threshold, the UE 224 is a CCU; if the SINR of the UE 224 is less than or equal to the threshold, the UE 224 is a CEU. In another example, the threshold is expressed in the form of a distance between UE 224 and base station 220 . By comparing the distance between UE 224 and base station 220 with the size of the threshold, it is determined that UE 224 is a CCU or CEU. If the distance is less than the threshold, the UE 224 is a CCU; if the distance is greater than or equal to the threshold, the UE 224 is a CEU.

可选地,装置200还包括调度单元208。调度单元208用于执行调度以获得小区222的负载信息,例如,通过下行调度来获得负载信息。基站220向小区222中的各UE发送下行参考信号,如导频信号。小区222中的各UE测量SINR值,并基于SINR值,将信道质量指示(channel quality indicator,CQI)作为负载信息上报给基站220。再如,通过上行调度来获得负载信息。基站测量UE发送的上行参考信号如探测参考信号的SINR,以获得负载信息。在一个示例中,在获得负载信息之后,若定时器期满,则配置单元204和阈值控制单元202中的至少一个执行以下操作。在另一个示例中,若定时器还未期满,而负载信息指示小区222的特定负载大于预设水平时,则触发紧急操作,激活配置单元204和阈值控制单元202中的至少一个以立刻执行以下操作。Optionally, the apparatus 200 further includes a scheduling unit 208 . The scheduling unit 208 is configured to perform scheduling to obtain load information of the cell 222, for example, to obtain load information through downlink scheduling. The base station 220 sends a downlink reference signal, such as a pilot signal, to each UE in the cell 222 . Each UE in the cell 222 measures the SINR value, and reports a channel quality indicator (channel quality indicator, CQI) as load information to the base station 220 based on the SINR value. For another example, load information is obtained through uplink scheduling. The base station measures the SINR of the uplink reference signal sent by the UE, such as the sounding reference signal, to obtain load information. In an example, after the load information is obtained, if the timer expires, at least one of the configuration unit 204 and the threshold control unit 202 performs the following operations. In another example, if the timer has not expired and the load information indicates that the specific load of the cell 222 is greater than a preset level, an emergency operation is triggered, and at least one of the configuration unit 204 and the threshold control unit 202 is activated to be executed immediately Do the following.

在一个示例中,负载信息指示第一类时频资源的负载,第二类时频资源的负载,以及第三类时频资源的负载。配置单元204用于根据负载信息,调整第一类时频资源对应的第一时间周期的长度、第二类时频资源对应的第二时间周期的长度和第三类时频资源对应的第三时间周期的长度中的至少一个。例如,若负载信息指示一特定类型的时频资源的负载大于第一水平时,则该特定类型的时频资源对应的时间周期的长度可调整到一个更大的值;若负载信息指示一特定类型的时频资源的负载小于第二水平时,则将其调整到一个更小的值。以CCU为具体示例,当负载信息指示分配给CCU的第一类时频资源的负载大于第一水平时,可将第一时间周期的长度从第一长度调整到大于第一长度的第二长度。当负载信息指示分配给CCU的第一类时频资源的负载小于第二水平时,可将第一时间周期的长度从第一长度调整到小于第一长度的第三长度。In an example, the load information indicates the load of the first type of time-frequency resources, the load of the second type of time-frequency resources, and the load of the third type of time-frequency resources. The configuration unit 204 is configured to adjust the length of the first time period corresponding to the first type of time-frequency resource, the length of the second time period corresponding to the second type of time-frequency resource, and the length of the third time period corresponding to the third type of time-frequency resource according to the load information. At least one of the lengths of the time period. For example, if the load information indicates that the load of a specific type of time-frequency resource is greater than the first level, the length of the time period corresponding to the specific type of time-frequency resource can be adjusted to a larger value; When the load of the type of time-frequency resource is less than the second level, it is adjusted to a smaller value. Taking CCU as a specific example, when the load information indicates that the load of the first type of time-frequency resource allocated to the CCU is greater than the first level, the length of the first time period may be adjusted from the first length to a second length greater than the first length . When the load information indicates that the load of the first type of time-frequency resource allocated to the CCU is smaller than the second level, the length of the first time period may be adjusted from the first length to a third length shorter than the first length.

在另一个示例中,负载信息指示第一类时频资源的负载,以及第二类时频资源和第三类时频资源的负载。其中,阈值控制单元202用于根据获得的负载信息调整第二小区222的阈值。当负载信息指示UE的特定负载大于第一预设水平或小于第二预设水平时,则调整小区222的阈值。在一个示例中,阈值包括SINR阈值。若UE 224的SINR大于该SINR阈值,则UE 224为CCU;若UE 224的SINR小于或等于该SINR阈值,则UE 224为CEU。当负载信息指示第一类时频资源的负载大于第一预设水平或者第二类时频资源和第三类时频资源的负载小于第二预设水平时,则该SINR阈值可从第一取值调整到大于第一取值的第二取值。这样,当小区222中的一些CCU的SINR大于第一取值但小于第二取值时,则这些CCU变为CEU,以减少小区222中的CCU负载。当负载信息指示第二类时频资源和第三类时频资源的负载大于第三预设水平或者第一类时频资源的负载小于第四预设水平时,则该阈值可以从第一取值调整到小于第一取值的第三取值。这样,当小区222中的一些CEU的SINR大于第三取值但小于第四取值时,则这些CEU变为CCU,以减少小区222中的CEU负载。In another example, the load information indicates the load of the first type of time-frequency resource, and the loads of the second type of time-frequency resource and the third type of time-frequency resource. Wherein, the threshold control unit 202 is configured to adjust the threshold of the second cell 222 according to the obtained load information. When the load information indicates that the specific load of the UE is greater than the first preset level or less than the second preset level, the threshold of the cell 222 is adjusted. In one example, the threshold includes a SINR threshold. If the SINR of the UE 224 is greater than the SINR threshold, the UE 224 is a CCU; if the SINR of the UE 224 is less than or equal to the SINR threshold, the UE 224 is a CEU. When the load information indicates that the load of the first type of time-frequency resource is greater than the first preset level or the loads of the second type of time-frequency resource and the third type of time-frequency resource are less than the second preset level, the SINR threshold may be changed from the first The value is adjusted to a second value greater than the first value. In this way, when the SINR of some CCUs in the cell 222 is greater than the first value but smaller than the second value, these CCUs become CEUs, so as to reduce the load of CCUs in the cell 222 . When the load information indicates that the loads of the second type of time-frequency resources and the third type of time-frequency resources are greater than the third preset level or that the load of the first type of time-frequency resources is less than the fourth preset level, then the threshold can be taken from the first The value is adjusted to a third value smaller than the first value. In this way, when the SINR of some CEUs in the cell 222 is greater than the third value but smaller than the fourth value, these CEUs become CCUs, so as to reduce the CEU load in the cell 222 .

在另一个示例中,阈值包括距离阈值。若UE 224与基站220之间的距离小于该距离阈值,则UE 224为CCU;若UE 224与基站220之间的距离大于或等于该距离阈值,则UE 224为CEU。当负载信息指示第一类时频资源的负载大于第一预设水平或者第二类时频资源和第三类时频资源的负载小于第二预设水平,则该距离阈值可以从第四取值调整到小于第四取值的第五取值。这样,当小区222中的一些CCU与基站220之间的距离大于第五取值但小于第四取值时,则这些CCU变为CEU,以减少小区222中的CCU负载。当负载信息指示第二类时频资源和第三类时频资源的负载大于第三预设水平或者第一类时频资源的负载小于第四预设水平时,则该距离阈值可以从第四取值调整到大于第四取值的第六取值。这样,当小区222中的一些CEU与基站220之间的距离大于第四取值但小于第六取值时,则这些CEU变为CCU,以减少小区222中的CEU负载。In another example, the threshold includes a distance threshold. If the distance between the UE 224 and the base station 220 is less than the distance threshold, the UE 224 is a CCU; if the distance between the UE 224 and the base station 220 is greater than or equal to the distance threshold, then the UE 224 is a CEU. When the load information indicates that the load of the first type of time-frequency resource is greater than the first preset level or the loads of the second type of time-frequency resource and the third type of time-frequency resource are smaller than the second preset level, the distance threshold can be taken from the fourth The value is adjusted to a fifth value smaller than the fourth value. In this way, when the distance between some CCUs in the cell 222 and the base station 220 is greater than the fifth value but smaller than the fourth value, these CCUs become CEUs to reduce the CCU load in the cell 222 . When the load information indicates that the loads of the second type of time-frequency resources and the third type of time-frequency resources are greater than the third preset level or that the load of the first type of time-frequency resources is less than the fourth preset level, then the distance threshold can be changed from the fourth The value is adjusted to a sixth value greater than the fourth value. In this way, when the distance between some CEUs in the cell 222 and the base station 220 is greater than the fourth value but smaller than the sixth value, these CEUs become CCUs to reduce the CEU load in the cell 222 .

可选地,装置200还包括接收单元212和发送单元210。接收单元212用于接收基站226的一个或多个请求。发送单元210用于:在接收单元212接收到一个或多个请求后,向基站226发送响应。Optionally, the apparatus 200 further includes a receiving unit 212 and a sending unit 210 . The receiving unit 212 is configured to receive one or more requests from the base station 226 . The sending unit 210 is configured to: send a response to the base station 226 after the receiving unit 212 receives one or more requests.

例如,接收单元212用于从基站226接收指示将调整小区222的阈值的第一请求。第一请求包括指示小区228中一个或多个CEU受到的干扰的参考信息。当接收单元212接收到第一请求之后,阈值控制单元202调整小区222的阈值。For example, the receiving unit 212 is configured to receive from the base station 226 a first request indicating that the threshold of the cell 222 will be adjusted. The first request includes reference information indicating interference experienced by one or more CEUs in cell 228 . After the receiving unit 212 receives the first request, the threshold control unit 202 adjusts the threshold of the cell 222 .

在一个具体的示例中,当小区228中的CEU 230受到小区222中的CEU的干扰,以及干扰信息指示CEU 230受到的由小区222中的CEU造成的干扰大于预设水平时,则小区222的SINR阈值从第七取值调整到小于第七取值的第八取值。这样,当小区222中的一些CEU的SINR大于第八取值但小于第七取值时,则这些CEU变为CCU。或者,小区222的距离阈值从第九取值调整到大于第九取值的第十取值。这样,当小区222中的一些CEU与基站220之间的距离大于第九取值但小于第十取值时,则这些CEU变为CCU。一般来说,CCU传输数据的功率要小于CEU。因此,小区222中以较高功率传输数据的CEU减少,降低了对小区228中CEU 230的干扰。而且,由于小区222中CEU的数量减少,小区222中的服务请求也相应减少,进而降低了对小区228中CEU的干扰。阈值控制单元202调整小区222的阈值后,发送单元210向基站226返回响应。In a specific example, when the CEU 230 in the cell 228 is interfered by the CEU in the cell 222, and the interference information indicates that the interference caused by the CEU in the cell 222 to the CEU 230 is greater than a preset level, then the CEU in the cell 222 The SINR threshold is adjusted from the seventh value to an eighth value smaller than the seventh value. In this way, when the SINR of some CEUs in the cell 222 is greater than the eighth value but less than the seventh value, these CEUs become CCUs. Or, the distance threshold of the cell 222 is adjusted from the ninth value to a tenth value greater than the ninth value. In this way, when the distance between some CEUs in the cell 222 and the base station 220 is greater than the ninth value but less than the tenth value, these CEUs become CCUs. Generally speaking, the data transmission power of the CCU is lower than that of the CEU. As a result, fewer CEUs in cell 222 transmit data at higher power, reducing interference to CEUs 230 in cell 228 . Moreover, since the number of CEUs in the cell 222 is reduced, the service requests in the cell 222 are correspondingly reduced, thereby reducing the interference to the CEUs in the cell 228 . After the threshold control unit 202 adjusts the threshold of the cell 222 , the sending unit 210 returns a response to the base station 226 .

可选地,接收单元212还用于从基站226接收指示将重新配置小区222的三类时频资源的第二请求。第二请求包括小区228的时频资源配置信息。配置单元204用于:在接收单元212接收到第二请求后,在时域上调整第一类时频资源对应的第一时间周期、第二类时频资源对应的第二时间周期,以及第三类时频资源对应的第三时间周期之间的顺序,使得分配给第一小区中通过第一RAT进行数据传输的一个或多个CEU的部分第二时间周期和分配给第一小区中通过第二RAT进行数据传输的一个或多个CEU的部分第三时间周期中的至少一个与分配给第二小区的一个或多个CEU的时间周期错开。图3A和图3B示出了如何在时域上调整不同类型的时频资源的顺序的示例。Optionally, the receiving unit 212 is further configured to receive from the base station 226 a second request indicating that the three types of time-frequency resources of the cell 222 will be reconfigured. The second request includes time-frequency resource configuration information of the cell 228 . The configuration unit 204 is configured to: after the receiving unit 212 receives the second request, adjust in the time domain the first time period corresponding to the first type of time-frequency resource, the second time period corresponding to the second type of time-frequency resource, and the second time period corresponding to the second type of time-frequency resource. The order among the third time periods corresponding to the three types of time-frequency resources makes the part of the second time period allocated to one or more CEUs in the first cell for data transmission through the first RAT and the part of the second time period allocated to the first cell through the first RAT At least one of the part of the third time period of the one or more CEUs in which the second RAT performs data transmission is staggered from the time period of the one or more CEUs allocated to the second cell. 3A and 3B show examples of how to adjust the order of different types of time-frequency resources in the time domain.

在图3A的示例中,第一周期T1和第二周期T2中,分配小区222的时频资源和小区228的时频资源,如图3A所示。因此,小区222中通过第一RAT进行数据传输的CEU受到小区228中通过第一RAT进行数据传输的CEU的干扰。小区222中使用第二RAT的CEU受到小区228中使用第二RAT的CEU的干扰。在接收到包括小区228时频资源配置信息的第二请求之后,在后续周期中调整时域上多种类型的时频资源的顺序。例如,在后续的第三周期T3和第四周期T4中,调整小区222中的顺序,使得第二类时频资源对应的第二时间周期先于第三类时频资源对应的第三时间周期,而第三时间周期先于第一类时频资源对应的第一时间周期。因此,将小区222中第二类时频资源对应的第二时间周期与小区228中第二类时频资源对应的第二时间周期的位置错开,同时,将小区222中第三类时频资源对应的第三时间周期与小区228中第三类时频资源对应的第三时间周期的位置错开。这样避免了小区222中的CEU与小区228中的CEU之间的干扰。In the example of FIG. 3A , in the first period T1 and the second period T2 , the time-frequency resources of the cell 222 and the time-frequency resources of the cell 228 are allocated, as shown in FIG. 3A . Therefore, CEUs in cell 222 for data transmission over the first RAT are interfered by CEUs in cell 228 for data transmission over the first RAT. CEUs in cell 222 using the second RAT are interfered by CEUs in cell 228 using the second RAT. After receiving the second request including the time-frequency resource configuration information of the cell 228, the order of multiple types of time-frequency resources in the time domain is adjusted in a subsequent period. For example, in the subsequent third period T3 and fourth period T4, the order in the cell 222 is adjusted so that the second time period corresponding to the second type of time-frequency resource is earlier than the third time period corresponding to the third type of time-frequency resource , and the third time period is earlier than the first time period corresponding to the first type of time-frequency resource. Therefore, the position of the second time period corresponding to the second type of time-frequency resource in the cell 222 is staggered from the position of the second time cycle corresponding to the second type of time-frequency resource in the cell 228, and at the same time, the third type of time-frequency resource in the cell 222 is The position of the corresponding third time period is staggered from the position of the third time period corresponding to the third type of time-frequency resource in the cell 228 . This avoids interference between CEUs in cell 222 and CEUs in cell 228 .

在一些情况下,当配置单元204调整顺序时,配置单元204还用于调整第一类时频资源对应的第一时间周期的长度、第二类时频资源对应的第二时间周期的长度和第三类时频资源对应的第三时间周期的长度中的至少一个。上文已举例阐述如何调整每个时间周期的长度,在此不再赘述。In some cases, when the configuration unit 204 adjusts the sequence, the configuration unit 204 is also configured to adjust the length of the first time period corresponding to the first type of time-frequency resource, the length of the second time period corresponding to the second type of time-frequency resource and the length of the second time period corresponding to the second type of time-frequency resource. At least one of the lengths of the third time period corresponding to the third type of time-frequency resource. How to adjust the length of each time period has been exemplified above, and will not be repeated here.

图4示出了分配第一小区如小区222频带上时频资源的方法的流程图。结合图2A至图3B对图4进行描述。第一小区中存在一个或多个CCU以及一个或多个CEU。第一小区属于第一基站如基站220,用于通过第一无线接入技术(radio access technology,RAT)进行数据传输以及通过第二RAT进行数据传输。所述方法由装置执行。在一个示例中,该装置包括基站,如基站220或基站226。在另一个示例中,该装置包括中央控制节点,如中央控制节点242。中央控制节点可包括但不限于SRC、NMS、EMS或者MME。Fig. 4 shows a flow chart of a method for allocating time-frequency resources on a frequency band of a first cell, such as cell 222. FIG. 4 is described in conjunction with FIGS. 2A to 3B . There are one or more CCUs and one or more CEUs in the first cell. The first cell belongs to a first base station, such as base station 220, and is used for data transmission through a first radio access technology (radio access technology, RAT) and data transmission through a second RAT. The method is performed by a device. In one example, the apparatus includes a base station, such as base station 220 or base station 226 . In another example, the apparatus includes a central control node, such as central control node 242 . The central control node may include but not limited to SRC, NMS, EMS or MME.

如图4所述,该方法包括:As shown in Figure 4, the method includes:

在S41中,装置基于频带上的时频资源,配置至少三类时频资源。三类时频资源包括第一时间周期的第一类时频资源,第二时间周期的第二类时频资源,以及第三时间周期的第三类时频资源。在一个示例中,第一时间周期、第二时间周期以及第三时间周期循环出现。In S41, the device configures at least three types of time-frequency resources based on the time-frequency resources on the frequency band. The three types of time-frequency resources include the first type of time-frequency resources in the first time period, the second type of time-frequency resources in the second time period, and the third type of time-frequency resources in the third time period. In one example, the first time period, the second time period, and the third time period occur cyclically.

例如,S41包括:装置设置第一类时频资源对应的第一时间周期的长度,第二类时频资源对应的第二时间周期的长度,以及第三类时频资源对应的第三时间周期的长度。装置还可设置第一类时频资源对应的第一时间周期、第二类时频资源对应的第二时间周期以及第三类时频资源对应的第三时间周期之间的顺序。For example, S41 includes: the device sets the length of the first time period corresponding to the first type of time-frequency resource, the length of the second time period corresponding to the second type of time-frequency resource, and the length of the third time period corresponding to the third type of time-frequency resource length. The device may also set a sequence among the first time period corresponding to the first type of time-frequency resource, the second time period corresponding to the second type of time-frequency resource, and the third time period corresponding to the third type of time-frequency resource.

在S42中,装置将第一时间周期的第一类时频资源分配给通过第一RAT与第一小区的第一基站进行数据传输的一个或多个CCU,以及分配给通过第二RAT与第一小区的第一基站进行数据传输的一个或多个CCU。In S42, the device allocates the first type of time-frequency resources in the first time period to one or more CCUs that perform data transmission with the first base station of the first cell through the first RAT, and to one or more CCUs that communicate with the first base station in the first cell through the second RAT. One or more CCUs for data transmission by the first base station of a cell.

在S43中,装置将第二时间周期的第二类时频资源分配给通过第一RAT与第一小区的第一基站进行数据传输的一个或多个CEU。In S43, the device allocates the second type of time-frequency resources in the second time period to one or more CEUs that perform data transmission with the first base station of the first cell through the first RAT.

在S44中,装置将第三时间周期的第三类时频资源分配给通过第二RAT与第一小区的第一基站进行数据传输的一个或多个CEU。需要理解的是,步骤S42至S44可以按顺序执行、并行执行、并列执行或同时执行等。In S44, the device allocates the third type of time-frequency resource in the third time period to one or more CEUs that perform data transmission with the first base station of the first cell through the second RAT. It should be understood that steps S42 to S44 may be executed sequentially, in parallel, in parallel, or simultaneously.

因此,从时域上来说,为小区中心每个RAT分配的时频资源的时间延长了。只要控制小区中心的吞吐率高于阈值,则提高了小区中心的系统吞吐能力。另一方面,第二类时频资源和第三类时频资源分别分配给通过第一RAT进行数据传输的CEU和通过第二RAT进行数据传输的CEU。因此,CEU不会受到通过不同RAT进行数据传输的其它UE的强干扰,相应地,提高了小区边缘CEU的吞吐率和吞吐能力,同时也提高了小区整体的吞吐能力。Therefore, from the perspective of the time domain, the time-frequency resource allocated to each RAT in the cell center is extended. As long as the throughput rate of the control cell center is higher than the threshold, the system throughput capability of the cell center is improved. On the other hand, the time-frequency resources of the second type and the time-frequency resources of the third type are respectively allocated to CEUs performing data transmission through the first RAT and CEUs performing data transmission through the second RAT. Therefore, the CEU will not be strongly interfered by other UEs that transmit data through different RATs. Accordingly, the throughput rate and throughput of the cell edge CEU are improved, and the overall throughput of the cell is also improved.

可选地,该方法还包括:Optionally, the method also includes:

在S40中,装置设置第一小区的阈值。该阈值用于确定UE如UE 224为CCU或CEU。在一个示例中,该阈值以SINR的形式表示。若UE 224的SINR大于该阈值,则UE 224为CCU;若UE224的SINR小于或等于该阈值,则UE 224为CEU。在另一个示例中,该阈值以UE 224和基站220之间的距离的形式来表示。若距离小于该阈值,则UE 224为CCU;若距离大于或等于该阈值,则UE 224为CEU。In S40, the device sets a threshold of the first cell. This threshold is used to determine whether a UE, such as UE 224, is a CCU or CEU. In one example, the threshold is expressed in the form of SINR. If the SINR of the UE 224 is greater than the threshold, the UE 224 is a CCU; if the SINR of the UE 224 is less than or equal to the threshold, the UE 224 is a CEU. In another example, the threshold is expressed in the form of a distance between UE 224 and base station 220 . If the distance is less than the threshold, the UE 224 is a CCU; if the distance is greater than or equal to the threshold, the UE 224 is a CEU.

可选地,该方法还包括:Optionally, the method also includes:

在S45中,装置执行调度以获得负载信息。在一个示例中,在获得负载信息之后,若定时器期满,则执行S451和S461中的至少一个步骤。在另一个示例中,若定时器还未期满,而负载信息指示小区222的特定负载大于预设水平时,则触发紧急操作,立刻激活S451和S461中的至少一个步骤。In S45, the device performs scheduling to obtain load information. In one example, after the load information is obtained, if the timer expires, at least one of steps S451 and S461 is performed. In another example, if the timer has not expired and the load information indicates that the specific load of the cell 222 is greater than a preset level, an emergency operation is triggered, and at least one of steps S451 and S461 is immediately activated.

若负载信息指示第一类时频资源的负载,第二类时频资源的负载以及第三类时频资源的负载,则在S451中,装置可以根据负载信息,调整第一类时频资源对应的第一时间周期的长度、第二类时频资源对应的第二时间周期的长度和第三类时频资源对应的第三时间周期的长度中的至少一个。例如,若负载信息指示一特定类型的时频资源的负载大于第一水平时,则该特定类型的时频资源对应的时间周期的长度可以调整到一个更大的值;若负载信息指示一特定类型的时频资源的负载小于第二水平时,则将其调整到一个更小的值。If the load information indicates the load of the first type of time-frequency resource, the load of the second type of time-frequency resource, and the load of the third type of time-frequency resource, then in S451, the device may adjust the corresponding load of the first type of time-frequency resource according to the load information. At least one of the length of the first time period, the length of the second time period corresponding to the second type of time-frequency resource, and the length of the third time period corresponding to the third type of time-frequency resource. For example, if the load information indicates that the load of a specific type of time-frequency resource is greater than the first level, the length of the time period corresponding to the specific type of time-frequency resource can be adjusted to a larger value; When the load of the type of time-frequency resource is less than the second level, it is adjusted to a smaller value.

若负载信息指示第一类时频资源的负载,以及第二类时频资源和第三类时频资源的负载,则在S461中,装置可以根据负载信息调整第一小区的阈值。当负载信息指示UE的特定负载大于第一预设水平或小于第二预设水平时,则调整小区222的阈值。If the load information indicates the load of the first type of time-frequency resource, and the loads of the second type of time-frequency resource and the third type of time-frequency resource, then in S461, the device may adjust the threshold of the first cell according to the load information. When the load information indicates that the specific load of the UE is greater than the first preset level or less than the second preset level, the threshold of the cell 222 is adjusted.

可选地,该方法还包括:Optionally, the method also includes:

在S46中,装置从第二基站如基站226接收指示将调整第一小区的阈值的第一请求。第二小区如小区228属于第二基站,为第一小区的邻区。第一请求包括指示第二小区中一个或多个CEUs受到的干扰的干扰信息。然后,在S461中,装置根据负载信息调整第一小区的阈值。例如,当小区228中的CEU 230受到小区222中的CEU的干扰,且干扰信息指示CEU230受到的由小区222中CEU造成的干扰大于预设水平,则小区222的SINR阈值从第七取值调整到小于第七取值的第八取值,或者,将小区222的距离阈值从第九取值调整到大于第九取值的第十取值。因此,一些CEU则变为CCU。由于CCU传输数据的功率小于CEU,小区222中以较高功率传输数据的CEU减少,降低了对小区228中的CEU 230的干扰。而且,由于小区222中CEU的数量减少,小区222中的服务请求也相应减少,进而降低了对小区228中CEU的干扰。In S46, the device receives a first request from a second base station, such as base station 226, indicating that the threshold of the first cell is to be adjusted. The second cell, such as cell 228, belongs to the second base station and is a neighboring cell of the first cell. The first request includes interference information indicating interference experienced by one or more CEUs in the second cell. Then, in S461, the device adjusts the threshold of the first cell according to the load information. For example, when the CEU 230 in the cell 228 is interfered by the CEU in the cell 222, and the interference information indicates that the interference caused by the CEU in the cell 222 to the CEU 230 is greater than a preset level, the SINR threshold of the cell 222 is adjusted from the seventh value to an eighth value smaller than the seventh value, or adjust the distance threshold of the cell 222 from the ninth value to a tenth value greater than the ninth value. Therefore, some CEUs become CCUs. Since the data transmission power of the CCU is lower than that of the CEUs, the number of CEUs transmitting data with higher power in the cell 222 is reduced, reducing the interference to the CEUs 230 in the cell 228 . Moreover, since the number of CEUs in the cell 222 is reduced, the service requests in the cell 222 are correspondingly reduced, thereby reducing the interference to the CEUs in the cell 228 .

可选地,该方法还包括:Optionally, the method also includes:

在S47中,装置从第二基站接收指示将重新配置第一小区的三类时频资源的第二请求。第二请求包括第二小区的时频资源配置信息。那么,在S471中,装置接收到第二请求后,可以调整第一小区三类时频资源之间的顺序,使得分配给第一小区中通过第一RAT进行数据传输的一个或多个CEU的部分第二时间周期和分配给第一小区中通过第二RAT进行数据传输的一个或多个CEU的部分第三时间周期中的至少一个与分配给第二小区的一个或多个CEU的时间周期错开。这样避免了小区222中的CEU和小区228中的CUE之间的干扰。In S47, the device receives from the second base station a second request indicating that three types of time-frequency resources of the first cell are to be reconfigured. The second request includes time-frequency resource configuration information of the second cell. Then, in S471, after receiving the second request, the device may adjust the sequence among the three types of time-frequency resources in the first cell, so that the CEUs allocated to one or more CEUs in the first cell for data transmission through the first RAT at least one of the portion of the second time period and the portion of the third time period allocated to one or more CEUs in the first cell for data transmission over the second RAT and the time period of the one or more CEUs allocated to the second cell stagger. This avoids interference between CEUs in cell 222 and CUEs in cell 228 .

可选地,该方法还包括:Optionally, the method also includes:

在S472中,装置进一步调整第一类时频资源对应的第一时间周期的长度、第二类时频资源对应的第二时间周期的长度和第三类时频资源对应的第三时间周期的长度中的至少一个。In S472, the device further adjusts the length of the first time period corresponding to the first type of time-frequency resource, the length of the second time period corresponding to the second type of time-frequency resource, and the length of the third time period corresponding to the third type of time-frequency resource. at least one of the lengths.

需要理解的是,图4中并非所有的步骤都需要,这些步骤可以按顺序执行、并行执行、并列执行或同时执行等。It should be understood that not all steps in FIG. 4 are required, and these steps may be executed in sequence, in parallel, in parallel, or simultaneously.

需要理解的是,以上所述仅用作说明目的。时频资源可以通过不同手段或以不同形式配置为多种类型的时频资源。不管是将至少一种类型的时频资源分配给通过第一RAT进行数据传输的至少一个或多个CCU或者通过第二RAT进行数据传输的一个或多个CCU,还是将至少一种类型的时频资源分配给通过每种RAT进行数据传输的CEU,都在本申请的范围之内。It should be understood that the foregoing description is for illustrative purposes only. Time-frequency resources can be configured as multiple types of time-frequency resources by different means or in different forms. Regardless of whether at least one type of time-frequency resource is allocated to at least one or more CCUs for data transmission over the first RAT or one or more CCUs for data transmission over the second RAT, or at least one type of time-frequency resource Allocating frequency resources to CEUs for data transmission through each RAT is within the scope of this application.

在另一项实施例中,基于频带上的时频资源,配置两种类型的时频资源。这两种类型的时频资源包括第四时间周期的第四类时频资源和第五时间周期的第五类时频资源。将第四时间周期的第四类时频资源分配给通过第一RAT进行数据传输的UE;以及将第五时间周期的第五类时频资源分配给通过第二RAT进行数据传输的UE。该模式同样适用于图4所述的除S40至S44之外的步骤,在此不再赘述。In another embodiment, two types of time-frequency resources are configured based on the time-frequency resources on the frequency band. The two types of time-frequency resources include the fourth type of time-frequency resources in the fourth time period and the fifth type of time-frequency resources in the fifth time period. Allocating the fourth type of time-frequency resource in the fourth time period to the UE performing data transmission through the first RAT; and allocating the fifth type of time-frequency resource in the fifth time period to the UE performing data transmission through the second RAT. This mode is also applicable to steps except S40 to S44 described in FIG. 4 , which will not be repeated here.
