Wherein, identical for the sub-district under the said terminal with the preallocated frequency domain resource size in the sub-district adjacent with said terminal, constitute whole frequency domain resource jointly with the frequency domain resource that is pre-assigned to the common use in all sub-districts.
In the embodiment of the invention,, be every type of frequency domain resource that sub-district preassignment is certain, and the frequency domain resource that every type of sub-district is pre-assigned to is identical according to the classification of sub-district, and the frequency domain resource that residual resource in whole frequency domain resource can be used as all sub-districts jointly.Through semi-static resource allocation; According to the distribution of the corresponding adjustment frequency domain resource of the attribute change that accesses terminal, when the Cell Edge User number increases, be reduced to affiliated sub-district, said terminal and the sub-district preallocated frequency domain resource adjacent with said terminal; Increase and be pre-assigned to the common frequency domain resource of using in all sub-districts; And the common frequency domain resource of using in all sub-districts after will increasing distributes to said terminal, can increase the operable resource of Cell Edge User, guaranteed the available resources of edge customer; Guarantee the performance of edge customer simultaneously, avoided the interference problem that possibly occur between the edge customer.
In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 2, inter-cell interference coordination method can also comprise the steps:
Step 104, when judging that according to said attribute information said terminal is central user, be the whole frequency domain resource of said terminal distribution.
Need to prove that the execution sequence of step 104 and step 103 does not have strict restriction, can first execution in step 104, execution in step 103. again
Need to prove; The terminal of judge to initiate inserting request be edge customer still be central user be to confirm according to the attribute information that carry when the initiation request at this terminal; This attribute information generally includes: Reference Signal Received Power (Reference Signal Received Power; RSRP) and Reference Signal Received Quality (Reference Signal Received Quality; RSRQ), RSRP that carries during according to the terminal initiation request and RSRQ can calculate Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio, SINR).Usually, the corresponding SINR threshold value that presets compares said SINR and preset gate limit value, as said SINR during less than said preset gate limit value, confirms that said terminal is an edge customer; As said SINR during, confirm that said terminal is a central user greater than said preset gate limit value.
In order to improve the accuracy that terminal attribute is judged, in the embodiment of the invention, be provided with two SINR threshold values: the first threshold value SINR1 and the second threshold value SINR2, wherein, SINR1 is less than SINR2; As said SINR during, confirm that said terminal is an edge customer less than said SINR1; As said SINR during, confirm that said terminal is a central user greater than said SINR2; When said SINR is between SINR1 and SINR2, before keeping to the determined property at said terminal.Adopt two threshold values to come the common attribute of judging the terminal, avoided single threshold value to judge the one-sidedness that causes.When SINR was between SINR1 and SINR2, the terminal attribute before keeping judged that when this terminal was central user before, current attribute was still confirmed as central user; When this terminal was edge customer before, current attribute was still confirmed as edge customer.Need to prove that as user during at initial access network, the attribute at terminal is set to central user usually, afterwards in each measuring period, the property value of uploading according to this terminal calculates the SINR value and judges this terminal attribute of this moment.According to the attribute at terminal, finally can draw the number of central user and edge customer in the sub-district.
Those skilled in the art when the real-time embodiment of the invention, confirming and can confirm that the present invention no longer gives unnecessary details at this for two SINR threshold values through concrete emulation.
In the embodiment of the invention; The priority that the affiliated preallocated frequency domain resource in sub-district in said terminal is set is 1; The priority that setting is pre-assigned to the common frequency domain resource of using in all sub-districts is 2; The priority that remaining frequency domain resource is set is 3, is the corresponding frequency domain resource of said terminal distribution according to the attribute at said terminal according to the priority orders of frequency domain resource.
In the frequency domain resource of each priority level, adopt the method for equitable proportion to carry out scheduling of resource, the equitable proportion algorithm is existing packet scheduling algorithm, in scheduling, has taken into account user's the fairness and the throughput of system.In priority is 1 frequency domain resource, in the time of can not being met for one of them business of edge customer or central user, then, priority continues the edge customer and the method for central user employing equitable proportion are carried out scheduling of resource on being 2 frequency domain resource.When still can not be met for the business at the surplus family of central user and edge this moment, then begin dispatching priority and be 3 frequency domain resource.
When Cell Center User when to use priority be 1 frequency domain resource and the resource non-overlapping copies that can use of neighbor cell edge customer, there is not presence of intercell interference this moment.When the center user when to use priority be 2 frequency domain resource and neighbor cell edge customer available resources priority be 2 overlap, exist presence of intercell interference this moment, but probability is less.When the center user uses priority is that 3 frequency domain resource and neighbor cell edge customer available resources priority are 1 overlap, and possibly exist certain interference this moment;
And, do not have presence of intercell interference this moment when Serving cell edge customer when to use priority be 1 frequency domain resource and neighbor cell edge customer available resources non-overlapping copies.When edge customer when to use priority be 2 resource D and neighbor cell available resources priority be 2 overlap, exist presence of intercell interference this moment, but probability is less.
This shows, divide through carrying out priority for the available frequency domain resource, can guarantee when neighbor cell in the time can using the same frequency resource, because the difference of use priority can be avoided the interference that possibly occur each other as much as possible.
In a word, the embodiment of the invention limits each user the difference of frequency domain resource is used rank through frequency domain resource priority is divided; Can guarantee that Cell Edge User and central user are under the prerequisite that enough available frequency domain resources are arranged; Avoid occurring each other disturbing, thereby guaranteed the performance of central user on the one hand, also improved the performance and the reliability of service thereof of edge customer on the one hand; Simultaneously reduce presence of intercell interference again, guaranteed the performance of whole system.
Through a concrete application example, embodiment of the invention technical scheme is elaborated below.
As shown in Figure 3, be example with 7 cell systems, 7 sub-districts are divided three classes: 1,2,3.Identical frequency domain resource (because similar sub-district is non-conterminous mutually, the presence of intercell interference of using identical frequency domain resource to cause can be ignored) can be used in similar sub-district.
Suppose whole frequency domain can with resource size be N, all frequency domain resource are divided into four part: A, B, C, D.Frequency domain resource A is the resource of 1 type of cell-specific, and frequency domain resource B is the resource of 2 types of cell-specific, and frequency domain resource C is the resource of 3 types of cell-specific, and frequency domain resource D is three types of resources that the sub-district can be used jointly.
The size of setting frequency domain resource A, B, C is identical.This be because, say that from function A, B, C are the resources of classification cell-specific separately, for the A for 1 type of sub-district with for B for 2 types of sub-districts and the C for 3 types of sub-districts, be actually the same.So in the embodiment of the invention, the size of setting A, B, C is the same.If establishing the size of frequency domain resource A is X, the size of B and C also is X so, and the size of D then is (N-3X).X representes Resource Block (Resource Block, number RB) here.
In all frequency domain resource, for 1 type of sub-district, central user can be used whole frequency domain resource N, and edge customer can use part frequency domain resource A+D, i.e. (X+N-3X)=(N-2X).Can be found out that by this formula will make that the operable frequency domain resource of edge customer increases in this sub-district, the value of X will reduce accordingly, other cell conditions are identical.
In the sub-district edge customer number more after a little while, the X value is bigger, the value of the corresponding operable resource of edge customer (N-2X) is less.In this programme; The definition X value be
to the maximum at this moment, the size of A be
D size is
When the edge customer number increased relatively, the X value diminished, and it is big that the value of the operable resource of corresponding edge user (N-2X) becomes.In this programme; The definition X intermediate value is
at this moment; The size of A be
D size for
definition X intermediate value the time; Can confirm that the present invention does not do qualification to this according to actual scene.
When the edge customer number increased certain value, the X value was minimum, and the value of the operable resource of corresponding edge user (N-2X) is maximum; In this programme, the minimum value of definition X is X3=0, at this moment; The size of A is 0; The size of D is N, promptly when edge customer is increased to significantly, can use whole frequency domain resource.
With Long Term Evolution (Long-Term Evolution, LTE) system is an example, the band width configuration value of this system can be 1.4MHZ; Stipulate according to system protocol; When this bandwidth value, system can with frequency domain resource be 6 RB, the value of X is respectively under then above-mentioned three kinds of situations: X1=2; X2=1, X3=0.With X=1 is example, establishes all RB and is divided into RB1~RB6 in order, then gets RB1 in order corresponding to A, and RB2~RB4 is corresponding to D, and RB5 is corresponding to B, and RB6 is corresponding to C.Then for 1 type of sub-district, the priority of RB1 is 1, and the priority of RB2~RB4 is 2, and the priority of RB5~RB6 is 3.
