Description

A kind of method that realizes exterior ring power control

Technical field

The present invention relates to code division multiple access (CDMA) system, particularly relate to the Poewr control method in a kind of cdma system.

Background technology

Power control techniques is the core technology of code division multiple access system.Code division multiple access system is one, and all mobile subscribers on same frequency take same band from disturbing system, because different user is different apart from the distance of base station, the power when subscriber signal arrives the base station is also different; Big in the received power of base station apart near user, the user of distance is little in the received power of base station, forms mutually and disturbs.This phenomenon is called near-far interference.The average power that traditional all users of Narrowband CDMA system requirements arrive the base station receiver signal will equate normally despreading.Power control is exactly in order to overcome " near-far interference ", makes system can safeguard high quality communication, is unlikely to again other users are produced interference.

Power control is divided into forward power control and reverse power control, in forward power control, the measurement result that upwards transmit according to travelling carriage the base station is adjusted the transmitting power of base station to each travelling carriage, its objective is the little travelling carriage of path fading is assigned less forward link power, and to those travelling carriage distribution bigger forward link powers high with the error rate away from the base station.

Reverse power control only can be divided into the closed power control that the open Loop Power control that participated in by portable terminal and portable terminal, base station participate in simultaneously again.Oppositely open Loop Power control is the portable terminal basis is accepted forward power in the sub-district variation, regulates mobile terminal emitting power.It mainly is for effect such as compensate shade, turn round, so it needs a very big dynamic range; Back closed loop power control is made correction rapidly after then by the base station open loop power of portable terminal being made an estimate, and adjusts the power of portable terminal transmitter, so that portable terminal keeps optimal transmitting power.Power control for down link mainly is the interference that is used for reducing to adjacent cell.

Exterior ring power control is to control closely-related control loop with closed power.It adjusts the value of setting of target signal to noise ratio (SIR) according to the needs of each independent Radio Link, and its target is to obtain constant quality, and this quality is defined by specific bit error rate (BER) or Block Error Rate (BLER) usually.In general, the target SIR value always will be considered the worst situation, therefore can cause very big waste of capacity undoubtedly under other situation.So best strategy is to allow the value of setting of target SIR float near minimum value, promptly along with the change of conditions such as translational speed and communication environments, the value of setting of target SIR also will be along with the time changes.The realization of exterior ring power control generally is to add " the label of frame reliability indicator for each user's frame of up link.If the frame mass indicator shows transmission quality and is descending that RNC just orders the base station that the target SIR value of setting is improved certain value.

The basic principle of closed power control is regularly to measure the signal to noise ratio that portable terminal transmits by the base station, this signal to noise ratio is compared with the threshold value of given signal to noise ratio, according to result relatively, produce corresponding power control command, portable terminal is adjusted the transmitting power of oneself according to power control command, so that arrive the threshold value that signal of base station noise specific energy is approached given signal to noise ratio.Different quality index requirement according to different business speed is provided with different minimum required signal-noise ratio thresholds to each professional speed, in case determined type of service, so minimum required signal-noise ratio threshold has also just been determined thereupon.

(Block Error Rate BLER) is meant: set the statistic period T of a Block Error Rate, the mistake transmission block in the transmission block statistic period T is added up, the number of transport blocks of mistake is compared the Block Error Rate that just obtains this user to so-called Block Error Rate with total block data.

Multiple business is arranged in the 3-G (Generation Three mobile communication system), and the transmission rate of every kind of business and service quality (QoS) requirement is also different.Therefore the value of its target block error rate BLER also is different.Control the Block Error Rate index request that satisfies different business so need carry out power.

Actual mobile wireless transmission environment is constantly to change, and the speed of portable terminal is also constantly changing, and the lowest signal-to-noise thresholding that satisfies the link-quality requirement will inevitably constantly change within the specific limits.Owing to be difficult to determine the functional relation between signal-noise ratio threshold and the Block Error Rate, and the measured value error of signal to noise ratio also can produce certain influence to control precision, therefore, is difficult to guarantee the link-quality requirement based on the closed power control of fixing signal-noise ratio threshold.

In the prior art, in the common outer-loop power controlling method, be to adopt rising or the fixing step-length of reduction to realize.Concrete method is as follows:

BLER _TarBe the target Block Error Rate, BLER is current Block Error Rate.As BLER＞BLER _TarThe time, just increase the ratio (E of bit energy and interference power density _b/ I ₀) set point of target, make it near the target Block Error Rate; As BLER＜BLER _TarThe time, just reduce E _b/ I ₀The set point of target makes it to get back to the target Block Error Rate.Rising or reduction are to realize by a certain fixing or certain the several fixed step size that set in advance.

Said method has very big shortcoming, is not suitable for the exterior ring power control of 3-G (Generation Three mobile communication system).Reason is as follows: if all adopt the waste that can cause resource with a kind of fixed step size for different business, this 3-G (Generation Three mobile communication system) for resource-constrained can cause extremely serious consequence.For example: if the step-length that is adopted is too small, control precision height then, but response speed does not then catch up with the variation of signal, can cause continuous mistake frame to occur, and causes very big cutting off rate; If the step-length that is adopted is excessive, then response speed is fast, but control precision is difficult to guarantee that the waste that power is penetrated in environment-development in can causing has influenced capacity to a great extent.Especially for the big high data service of transmitting power of speed, can cause very serious consequence to whole system.The stability of the system that influences of the very big degree of therefore inappropriate step-length meeting and the capacity of system.

Embodiment

In the present invention, consider that cdma system will support multiple business, and the transmission rate of every kind of business and service quality (QoS) requirement is also different, and the target errored block (BLER) of different business is different, therefore under identical environment, be exactly under the situation of BLER of identical statistics, at different business, E _b/ I _oThe step-length that desired value is adjusted is also different.Owing to can retransmit after data service makes mistakes, and speech business must guarantee its service quality.So, in the present invention, consider professional characteristic, set a reference speed rate, to compare with this reference speed rate with service rate, professional speed is big more, can compare also just more little for the step-length of adjusting with the benchmark step-length.At data service, this method can reduce excessive adjustment step-length and cause the result who wastes transmitting power.For the data service of two-forty,, can cause great disastrous effect to system if waste its transmitting power again.Can guarantee the requirement of data service and speech business so respectively, and the stability of the system of assurance.

As shown in Figure 1, the present invention takes all factors into consideration data service and speech business, has proposed a kind of method of variable step exterior ring power control.In Fig. 1, if the target E of external circule power control _b/ I _oEach transmission block adjustment once.Concrete steps are as follows:

Add up the size of actual BLER, and compare with target BLER;

According to result relatively, change the target E of outer shroud control _b/ I _o:

If BLER=BLER _Tar, target E then _b/ I _oRemain unchanged;

If BLER＞BLER _Tar, target E then _b/ I _oA step-length step just rises _Up

Order ${\mathrm{step}}_{\mathrm{up}}=k1[1-a(R-\frac{R_{\max }+R_{\min }}{2})],$

Then desired value is, E _b/ I ₀(n+1)=E _b/ I ₀(n)+step _Up

If BLER＜BLER _Tar, target E then _b/ I _oA step-length step just descends _Down

Order ${\mathrm{step}}_{\mathrm{down}}=k2[1-a(R-\frac{R_{\max }+R_{\min }}{2})],$

Then desired value is, E _b/ I ₀(n+1)=E _b/ I ₀(n)-step _Down

And k2＞k1＞0;

Wherein, R is professional speed, R _MaxAnd R _MinBe the minimum and maximum service rate that system allowed, be meant that (9.6kbps 2Mbps), is not at some business for the scope at all service rate places. Be reference speed rate, for reference speed rate, the step-length of its pairing rising is k1, and the step-length of decline is k2, and k1, k2 also can be the benchmark step-length.A is a constant.

The present invention considers that data are different with the target BLER of speech business, therefore under the situation of the BLER of identical statistics, and E _b/ I _oThe step-length difference that desired value is adjusted.The target BLER of speech business is 1%, and the target BLER of data service is 5%.

The value of k1, k2 can be set according to emulation.And the selection of a can be according to following method:

Order $A=[1-a(R-\frac{R_{\max }+R_{\min }}{2})];$

Guarantee A＞0, so $A=\{\begin{array}{cc}1-a\&CenterDot;\frac{R_{\max }-R_{\min }}{2}& R=R_{\max }\\ 1+a\&CenterDot;\frac{R_{\max }-R_{\min }}{2}& R=R_{\min x}\end{array};$

Then: $0<$ $a<\frac{2}{R_{\max }-R_{\min }}.$

As shown in Figure 2, suppose target E of every N transmission block adjustment _b/ I _o, so just need an accumulator sum counter.The step-length of adjusting is stored in the accumulator, and the value of counter is made as N, and when counter reached N, the accumulated value in the accumulator was as total step-length of adjusting.Accumulated value in the accumulator is rising or the decline step-length sum of N.

In conjunction with Fig. 2, in the external circule power control algoritic module of Fig. 2, the accumulated value in step-length or the accumulator is input in the algoritic module, through calculating, export adjusted E _b/ I _oThe goal-setting value.

Fig. 3 uses the system construction drawing that the method for the invention is carried out power control.In Fig. 3, the information data of portable terminal is through after the chnnel coding, carry out band spectrum modulation and shaping filter, then through the fading channel transmission, send into RAKE receiver through fading channel information transmitted data, in RAKE receiver, the maximum that RAKE merges output merges ratio and sends into decoder and decipher and send into the estimation that SIR (signal interference ratio) estimation unit carries out signal and the ratio of interference, decoder output two parts data, a part of decoded data bits; The Block Error Rate designation data of another part is then sent into the external circule power control algoritic module, as the foundation of adjusting target Eb/Io.The Eb/Io that estimates then is the foundation of carrying out inner-loop power control, transmitting power controller (TPC processing) is compared the Eb/Io that estimates (the specific algorithm decision that standard of comparison is adopted by the external circule power control unit) with a standard of comparison, obtain containing the TPC order of Eb/Io desirable value, mobile terminal side just can be ordered according to this TPC and be adjusted its transmitting power.
