- Non-CA PUE For a UE (non-CA PUE) that is connected to the pico cell of f1 in FIG. 14 and does not apply the band extension technology (CA) (non-CA PUE), since the pico cell transmits a control channel in f1, the control channel is transmitted in all subframes. interfere with the control channel of the macro cell to be transmitted (see Figure 15). In order to solve this problem, it is considered that the ABS is set only by the PCell of the macro cell (see FIG. 1).
- CA band extension technology
- the reception quality measurement timing is similarly limited.
- MUE of applying the band extension technology in CRE area is the primary component carrier (f1) of the macro cell, when measuring the picocell neighbor cell is measured at the timing of ABS.
- the pico cell is measured at the secondary frequency (f2) of the macro cell, the reception quality measurement timing is not limited because there is no ABS. Therefore, the reception quality of the f1 pico cell with reduced interference from the macro cell is better than the reception quality of the f2 pico cell.
- the UE to which the band extension technology is applied sets, for example, a cell having a high reception quality as a PCell and a cell other than the cell as a SCell among a plurality of frequency band cells. Therefore, after the MUE is handed over to the pico cell by CRE, the pico cell of f1 becomes the PCell of the pico cell.
- the PUE to which the band extension technology is applied at the point A is measured at the ABS timing when measuring the pico cell of the own cell at f1.
- reception quality measurement timing is not limited in f2. Therefore, as in the case of the MUE in the CRE area, the pico cell of f1 becomes the PCell of the pico cell.
- PUE to which band extension technology is applied in the vicinity of the pico base station measures at the ABS timing in f1, and the reception quality measurement in f2, at the same time as the PUE in the CRE area. There is no timing limitation. At this time, since the interference from the macro cell is small at the point B, the presence or absence of the restriction on the reception quality measurement timing is irrelevant, and the network may set f2 as the PCell of the pico cell.
- the point in the embodiment described below is that the reception quality of the pico cell is measured by using the blank area that is not transmitted from the macro cell even in the secondary frequency (f2) without the blank area (ABS) of the macro cell.
- the reception quality of the secondary frequency f2 is made better than the reception quality of the pico cell frequency f1, which is the same frequency as the primary frequency (f1) of the macro cell.
- the serving base station creates a cell list (see FIG. 4 to be described later) for limiting the reception quality measurement timing based on information acquired from neighboring cells.
- a blank area of a control channel portion generated by a cell list measured at the timing of a conventional ABS and a SCell of a macrocell generated by cross carrier scheduling as shown in FIG. 3 (hereinafter, almost blank PDCCH (ABP)
- ABS almost blank PDCCH
- the predetermined control channel region is a control channel region of a subframe that is cross-carrier scheduled by the first base station (macro base station).
- This cell list is notified from the serving base station (cell) using a measurement configuration message (RRC connection reconfiguration). That is, the information for measurement is transmitted from the base station to which the mobile terminal (UE) belongs.
- RRC connection reconfiguration a measurement configuration message
- the terminal collates the received cell list with the cell detected by the terminal, and the matched cell executes measurement in the ABS area and measurement in the ABP area in accordance with the reception quality measurement timing of each of ABS and ABP. For cells that do not match the list, normal reception quality measurement is performed, and event determination (determination of whether reception quality exceeds) is performed. When the event is triggered, a reception quality measurement message (measurement report) is transmitted to the serving base station.
- the pattern for limiting the reception quality measurement timing is generated from the pattern of the subframe for performing the cross-carrier scheduling of the macro cell.
- the reception quality measurement timing may be limited to MBSFN subframe timing as in the case of ABP. That is, the predetermined control channel region is a control channel region of the MBSFN subframe by the first base station (macro base station).
- the MUE applying the band extension technology knows the pattern to be measured from the cross-carrier scheduling information of the macro cell of its own cell, when measuring the reception quality of the neighboring pico cell, it is like the reception quality measurement timing limitation by ABS There is no need to notify each UE of a pattern for measurement timing limitation.
- the PUE applying the band extension technology knows the reception quality measurement timing limited from the sub-frame timing of the cross-carrier scheduling of the own cell's pico cell. Because it is possible, it is not necessary to notify UE. That is, the configuration is such that the cross carrier scheduling patterns in the adjacent first base station (macro base station) and second base station (pico base station) are the same. Note that the measurement pattern is notified individually to UEs that do not perform cross-carrier scheduling, or when the subframe for limiting the reception quality measurement timing and the cross-carrier scheduling pattern are different.
- the subframe timing of cross carrier scheduling to MUEs to which the band extension technology connected to the same macro cell is applied is made common. That is, it is configured such that the cross carrier scheduling pattern for mobile terminals connected to the first base station (macro base station) is common.
- the MUE not to apply the band extension technology is not allocated. That is, it is configured such that a mobile terminal belonging to the first base station to which the bandwidth expansion technology that enables wide band is not applied is not scheduled in the subframe subjected to cross carrier scheduling.
- the UE in the CRE area, can measure the reception quality of the pico cell by reducing the interference from the macro cell, so it can be compared fairly with the reception quality measured at the timing of the PCell ABS of the macro cell, and near the pico base station.
- the pico cell frequency (f2) which is the same frequency as the macro cell secondary frequency (f2), can be the PCell of the pico cell. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the PUE to which the bandwidth extension technique is applied as in the conventional technique from changing the PCell near the boundary between the CRE area and the pico cell coverage.
- FIG. 14 it is possible to arrange macrocells and PCells of picocells with different frequencies, and interference control by cross-carrier scheduling functions correctly.

- the cell ID list for ABS includes a list of cell IDs of cells whose reception quality is measured limited to a specific subframe based on the ABS pattern at frequency f1 (macro primary frequency).
- the cell ID list for ABP includes a list of cell IDs of cells whose reception quality is measured only at the control channel timing of a specific subframe based on the ABP pattern at frequencies f2 to fn (macro secondary frequency). It is.

Abstract
Description
上述した図14のf1のピコセルに接続し、帯域拡張技術(CA)を適用しないUE(non-CA PUE)に対しては、ピコセルはf1において制御チャネルを送信するため、全サブフレームで制御チャネルを送信するマクロセルの制御チャネルと干渉する(図15を参照)。この問題を解決するために、ABSはマクロセルのPCellのみで設定されると考えられる(図1を参照)。
(1)従来は、UE個別に設定されるクロスキャリアスケジューリングのサブフレームパターンに関して、同一マクロセルに接続する帯域拡張技術を適用したMUEへのクロスキャリアスケジューリングのサブフレームタイミングを共通にする。すなわち、第1の基地局(マクロ基地局)に接続する移動端末へのクロスキャリアスケジューリングのパターンが共通となるよう構成される。
(2)マクロセルが帯域拡張技術を適用するMUEに対して適用するクロスキャリアスケジューリングのサブフレームタイミングでは、帯域拡張技術を適用しないMUEは割り当てない。すなわち、クロスキャリアスケジューリングされるサブフレームには、広帯域化を可能とする帯域拡張技術が適用されない第1の基地局に属する移動端末がスケジューリングされないよう構成される。
本実施の形態のポイントは、第1の実施の形態においてマクロセルのABP領域におけるマクロセルからピコセルへの干渉をより低減することである。具体的にはクロスキャリアスケジューリングをせずに帯域拡張技術を適用するMUEや、マクロセルのABPがある周波数に帯域拡張技術を適用しないMUEがいる場合には、これらのMUEにはマクロセルのABPがあるサブフレームを割り当てない。すなわち、クロスキャリアスケジューリング及び/又は帯域拡張技術を適用しない第1の基地局に属する移動端末に対して、移動端末以外の移動端末がクロスキャリアスケジューリングしているサブフレームを割り当てないよう構成される。つまり、ABPのあるサブフレーム以外のサブフレームの制御チャネルで制御情報を送信することである。
