Embodiment
Below in conjunction with drawings and Examples, the present invention is further elaborated.
As shown in Figure 1, be the realization flow figure of inter-cell interference coordination method of the present invention, step is as follows:
Step 101: limited interference source selection threshold value is determined in the base station, is used for determining current base station is brought the adjacent area interference collection of base stations of interference;
Therefore flexibility when limited interference source selects threshold value will influence the number of interference source base station and time-frequency resource allocation, plays important effect according to different network demand choose reasonable threshold values to the reduction presence of intercell interference.
Step 102: base station interference signal strength signal intensity in the base station measurement adjacent cell list;
Step 103: the base station selects threshold value to determine base station in the limited interfered cell according to limited interference source;
The interference signal intensity of all adjacent cell base stations in the described base station measurement adjacent cell list, select threshold value to compare according to interference signal intensity of measuring and limited interference source, the limited interference source that selection selects all interference base stations conducts of threshold value to determine greater than limited interference source is finally determined the interference base station set of using in the sub-district.
Different base station in the cordless communication network can use different interference sources to select threshold value, so different interference source collection of base stations can be arranged.
Step 104: the area dividing threshold value is determined in the base station, and all limited interference source are carried out area dividing, specifically may further comprise the steps:
Step a: threshold value is divided in the setting area, base station;
Step b: the base station is divided into noiseless zone, limited interference region and transitional region according to threshold value with microzonation;
The area dividing threshold value the division that can have a strong impact on layering in the radio communication netting twine is set, also can therefore, can threshold value be set rationally divide network simultaneously by the different zone of different threshold scalings is set according to different network demands.
Being provided with of area dividing threshold value can also be played the effect of allocating load in cordless communication network.Certain regional load is heavier or fully loaded in cordless communication network, and other area load are light or during intermediate part load, can adjust the setting of threshold value, make the expanded range in the heavier or fully loaded zone of load, adjusting range enlarges the occupied running time-frequency resource of back loading simultaneously, it is the position of Physical Resource Block, make itself and other regional resource still keep quadrature, simultaneously, the road loss compensation factor of user terminal in the adjusting range enlarged area, the up-link transmission power of control different layers carry out the coordination of presence of intercell interference and Cell Edge User terminal throughput and the user terminal average throughput in the raising cordless communication network under not having the prerequisite of bandwidth loss.
Transitional region is a special region, in order further to divide network, can reset threshold value in transition region divides, for example, reset a new threshold value, transition region is divided into noiseless regional transition region and limited interference source zone transition region, more flexible when the running time-frequency resource of high-level scheduling user terminal like this.
Step 105: the time-frequency resource allocating mode of resource reservation part is determined in the base station;
Mainly be to determine to adopt distributed allocation or employing centralised allocation, because the scheduling of different method of salary distribution high levels will be very different.
Step 106: the QoS priority number of user terminal is determined in the base station;
For different networks different QoS priority numbers can be set, be convenient to high-level scheduling, increase the flexibility of running time-frequency resource scheduling.
The introducing of user terminal QoS priority has following effect:
(1) the quality of service requirement difference of the QoS priority of different user terminals, promptly, requirement to the interference coordination of minizone is also different, therefore, can be provided with by different QoS priority, make when the scheduling running time-frequency resource, make the running time-frequency resource of the user terminal of high QoS priority keep complete quadrature as far as possible, user terminal for low QoS priority can adopt the quasi-orthogonal mode of running time-frequency resource, has improved the flexibility of high-level scheduling running time-frequency resource.
(2) when the sub-district be severe load or full load, when high-level scheduling, at first select the user terminal of high QoS priority to take completely orthogonal running time-frequency resource (running time-frequency resource that comprises zones of different is reserved and special running time-frequency resource reservation), guarantee service quality.
(3) certain zone is severe load or fully loaded in the sub-district, and other zones are when being slight load or intermediate part load, when using for severe load or fully loaded zone by high-level scheduling the shared running time-frequency resource of slight load or intermediate part load zone, at first guarantee the use of the user terminal of high QoS priority for the resource reservation part.
When network is under the situation of slight load or intermediate part load, when not needing to use the running time-frequency resource of resource reservation part, in order to reduce the complexity of high-level scheduling, can not consider the QoS priority of user terminal, only, just can guarantee the running time-frequency resource quadrature that each is regional fully by region partitioning method of the present invention and time-frequency resource distribution mode.
When network is under severe load or the fully loaded situation, need to use the QoS priority of user terminal and the associating of resource reservation, at first guarantee the quality of service requirement of the user terminal of high QoS priority.
Step 107: the road loss compensation factor that each is regional is determined in the base station;
Road loss compensation factor can be provided with a plurality of values in different zones.But for complexity and the overhead that reduces high-level scheduling, each regional road loss compensation factor number will rationally be provided with according to the demand of cordless communication network; Each regional road loss compensation factor number can for bigger sub-district, can be provided with more road loss compensation factor in each zone according to the size reasonable adjustment of cell coverage area, further the refinement sub-district.
Being provided with of road loss compensation factor can be meticulousr than noiseless zone and limited interference region in the transitional region, and the purpose of doing like this is in order accurately to adjust the transmitting power of user terminal, to keep the running time-frequency resource of the particularly limited interference region user terminal of user terminal to keep quadrature as far as possible; Being provided with of road loss compensation factor can be single value, centrifugal pump, successive value in the transition region, when the path loss factor in the transition region is centrifugal pump, successive value, the strong jamming level signal strength threshold of wanting also in the transition region that the setting area divides, similar to the threshold value of distinguishing noiseless zone, transitional region, limited interference region;
The road loss compensation factor in limited interference source zone can also can be selected suitable road loss compensation factor respectively according to the power of disturbing for disturbing all base station area in the set to use identical road loss compensation factor.
Step 108: the running time-frequency resource that each is regional is determined in the base station;
This step mainly is that the running time-frequency resource of guaranteeing to carry out the limited interference region of interference coordination keeps quadrature; For noiseless zone, because it is less to be subjected to the interference of adjacent sub-district, so the quadrature demand of resource is not strong; Transitional region since need be in noiseless zone or limited interference region resource allocate when nervous, therefore, need partly keep quadrature to the running time-frequency resource of noiseless zone or limited interference region.
Step 109: the high reject signal intensity of user terminal measurement, and report the base station;
Be mainly used in the base station and determine residing zone of user terminal and road loss compensation factor according to high reject signal intensity.
Step 110: the user terminal region is determined in the base station;
The zone here is meant noiseless zone, transitional region, limited interference region, does not comprise each regional resource reservation part and special resource reservation part.
Step 111: the loading condition of user terminal region is judged in the base station, selects whether to use QoS priority for different loading conditions, and to reduce the complexity of high-level scheduling, if severe load or fully loaded, then execution in step 112; Otherwise then execution in step 114;
Step 112: the QoS priority at user terminal place is determined in the base station;
Step 113: the resource reservation of use is determined in the base station;
Resource reservation comprises resource reservation and the special resource reservation that each is regional.The use that special running time-frequency resource is reserved generally occurs in following situation:
(1) each regional resource reservation is taken fully;
(2) high layer resource scheduling encounters difficulties;
(3) needs in the cordless communication network satisfy the user terminal or the user terminal group of special service quality requirement.
Step 114: the road loss compensation factor of user terminal is determined in the base station;
For the resource reservation zone, can use and other different road loss compensation factors in zone, also can use fully and regional identical road loss compensation factor separately; For the special resource reserved area, being provided with of road loss compensation factor can be selected separately according to limit priority service quality in the QoS priority of user terminal.
Step 115: the transmitting power of user terminal is calculated in the base station according to the part Poewr control method;
Under the situation that fully takes into account sub-district internal burden situation and user terminal self, reach the purpose of interference coordination by the transmitting power of using the part power compensating method to adjust user terminal.
Step 116: the transmitting power that the back is adjusted is calculated by the uplink grant informing user terminal in the base station;
Step 117: user terminal is with the transmitting power emission of base station notice.
The time-frequency resource allocating mode of noiseless zone of the present invention, limited interference region, transitional region comprises:
(1) the complete quadrature method of salary distribution.In order to carry out effectively and reasonably scheduling, be provided with adjacent with it transitional region in each limited interference source distributed areas to the shared running time-frequency resource of limited interference source.The transitional region of limited interference source distributed areas and coupling is close to, and when guaranteeing the running time-frequency resource quadrature, can make the running time-frequency resource in interference-free coverage area territory and the running time-frequency resource of limited interference source zone and transitional region keep quadrature respectively.Help like this guaranteeing the quadrature of running time-frequency resource to reduce the interference of minizone at the flexible dispatching of severe load or full load running time-frequency resource and the running time-frequency resource that separates different limited interference source when the running time-frequency resource of limited interference source distributed areas.
(2) the accurate quadrature method of salary distribution.In order to reduce the complexity of system, when time-frequency resource allocating, the running time-frequency resource of noiseless zone and transitional region is put together, the noiseless zone that is called associating, the running time-frequency resource of transitional region perhaps is not set, in noiseless zone, comprise the running time-frequency resource when transitional region is set, be called the noiseless zone of merging.During time-frequency resource allocating, distributed allocation is carried out in limited interference source zone and the noiseless zone of associating or the noiseless zone of merging, the running time-frequency resource in the noiseless zone of the running time-frequency resource in employing limited interference source zone and the noiseless zone of associating or merging distributes at interval, when severe load or full load, can adopt the stronger zone of interference to use the complete quadrature of running time-frequency resource in the noiseless zone of limited interference source zone and noiseless zone of uniting or merging, and disturb more weak zone to use the limited interference source zone to keep quadrature, guarantee that each shared running time-frequency resource in zone keeps accurate quadrature.This mode has reduced the complexity of system, helps dispatching each regional running time-frequency resource more.
The present invention introduces transitional region, when user terminal is in this zone, can reach target transmit power by suitable adjustment road loss compensation factor, reduced other user terminals in the cell coverage area and the interference of adjacent sub-district, increase the flexibility when path loss compensates simultaneously, effectively increased the throughput and the user terminal average throughput of Cell Edge User terminal.
The present invention guarantees that by the introducing of two kinds of resource reservation the running time-frequency resource that takies keeps quadrature, helps guaranteeing minimum quality of service; When carrying out the trans-regional scheduling of running time-frequency resource, being reserved with of running time-frequency resource is beneficial to the minimum quality of service that guarantees zones of different; Because the presence of intercell interference in noiseless zone is very little even do not have, therefore, special running time-frequency resource is reserved and is generally positioned at noiseless zone, is convenient to when carrying out the trans-regional scheduling of running time-frequency resource like this guarantee that running time-frequency resource and other zones that special running time-frequency resource reserved area is shared keep quadrature.
The present invention is provided with by different QoS priority, make when the scheduling running time-frequency resource, make the running time-frequency resource of the user terminal of high QoS priority keep complete quadrature as far as possible, user terminal for low QoS priority can adopt the quasi-orthogonal mode of running time-frequency resource, has improved the flexibility of high-level scheduling running time-frequency resource.
