Below lift specific embodiment and describe technical scheme of the present invention in detail.
The embodiment of the present invention is the feature between community by abundant knot with while there is centralized management entity, has provided a kind of interference mitigation scheme of optimization, and the centralized management node eNodeB existing in LTE system of take is example.
In order to reach the object of minizone dynamic interference coordination, the device of the embodiment of the present invention mainly comprises: above eNodeB internal interference harmony messages generation/update module, a resource are used restriction strategy transmitting-receiving administrative unit.
Wherein, eNodeB internal interference harmony messages generation/update module comprises three basic processing units: the acquiring unit of each district dynamic interfere information of inside of base station, between base station, mutual resource is used the generation unit of restriction strategy, information notification unit (comprising that between inside of base station dynamic disturbance information, eNodeB, resource is used informing of restricted information).
Here eNodeB internal interference harmony messages comprises two large divisions: 1) inform load information or resource use restriction strategy to this eNodeB of other eNodeB, as HII, OI, RNTP etc.; 2) the dynamic interference coordination information between inner each community of this eNodeB.Wherein, 2) information interaction periodicity is less than 1), 2) can adopt and eNodeB between mutual identical load information type as interference coordination information, also can design more abundant, more accurate information type for inside of base station dynamic interference coordination.
The interference coordination information of using between each community of inside of base station can produce/upgrade according to following thinking: pre-estimate the user demand for PRB to the user of ICI sensitivity of eNodeB Nei Ge community, in conjunction with the interference level on each PRB, determine the interference coordination information state parameter on each PRB of each community.
The method that in inside of base station, district dynamic interfere information obtains is as follows:
(1) determine that in each community of inside of base station, the user for presence of intercell interference sensitivity gathers;
(2) estimate that in a period of time T, each community of inside of base station belongs to the UE of interference sensitive users set for the demand of PRB resource;
(3) according to the measurement on each PRB or Interference Estimation information, determine the interference level on each PRB, and the PRB that interference level surpasses predefined threshold T H is carried out to mark;
(4) according to determining in (2) that Ge community is for the number of the required PRB of user of presence of intercell interference sensitivity, and the interference level obtaining in (3) surpasses the PRB information of predefined threshold value, district dynamic interfere information in generation inside of base station.
In step (1), the user's set for presence of intercell interference sensitivity in each community of inside of base station can be determined according to following thinking:
(a) Cell Edge User is higher for the sensitivity of presence of intercell interference conventionally, and Cell Center User is subject to presence of intercell interference effect lower substantially, therefore Cell Edge User can be included into the user's set for presence of intercell interference sensitivity.
(b) determination methods of Cell Edge User can be based on one or more of following information: the information that enters/leave certain cell edge that each user's Geometry distributed intelligence in each user's information on path loss, community in community, the A3 event based on LTE standard definition obtain, etc.;
For (b), based on information on path loss, judge that whether user is as follows in the method for cell edge:
(b1) obtain PHR (the Power Headroom Report of UE, power space reports) reporting information, in PHR information, in fact comprise the content of three parts: the information on path loss of UE, base station be the information to UE for RRC (Radio Resource Control) the layer configuration of the scheduling reporting as time PHR and resource allocation information (as giving how many PRB of this UE), base station;
(b2) for base station, base station is for the scheduling and the resource allocation information that report as time PHR, and the information that the RRC of base station (Radio Resource Control) layer configures to UE is all known, therefore, the PHR information reporting according to UE, base station can solve the information on path loss of UE;
(b3), after obtaining the information on path loss of UE, can judge that this UE is in center of housing estate or in cell edge by following two kinds of methods:
Method one: will report information on path loss and the predefined threshold T HPL comparison of obtaining according to the PHR of UE, if the path loss of UE is greater than default threshold T HPL, this UE is in cell edge; Otherwise this UE is positioned at center of housing estate.
Method two: obtain the PHR reporting information of each UE in community in a period of time T, and calculate the information on path loss of UE based on PHR information; Then the information on path loss of all UE is formed to CDF (Cumulative Distribution Function, cumulative distribution function) curve, at the x% of curve, (the bent value of x is between 1~99, typical case's value is 30 or 10) locate to search corresponding path loss values, count PLref, if the path loss of UE is greater than PLref, this UE is in cell edge; Otherwise this UE is positioned at center of housing estate.
In step (2), in estimation a period of time T, each community of inside of base station belongs to and disturbs the UE of sensitive users set as follows for the method for the demand of PRB resource:
Determine timing statistics length T, obtain the resource number Nused that in each the subframe Zhong, community in statistics duration T, all interference sensitive users are on average used;
Statistics is at the total actual transfer rate SBR of all interference sensitive users in time period T cabinet community;
The formula of estimating resource demand is:
r wherein
kfor GBR speed, PBR speed or the minimum bit rate of business, total n the business of all edge customers one.
In step (3), up-link base station can measure the interference level of each PRB in real time; Downlink system depends on base station and in the transmission power information of each PRB, estimates the interference level of each PRB.
For up-link, base station can measure the interference level on each PRB voluntarily: can adopt the measuring amount on each PRB of LTE standard definition receive interference power and receive thermal noise power, and calculate the interference level on each PRB based on these two measuring amount.
For downlink system, the interference level on each PRB depends on that base station is in the transmitting power of each PRB to a great extent, i.e. the result of each cell downlink power division.The interference level on each PRB can be determined by adding up respectively the normalization target signal to noise ratio of each area interference sensitive users and non-sensitive user's descending power distribution in base station.
According to said method, complete step (2) and (3) afterwards, in step (4), just can by and the two considers, form district dynamic interfere information in inside of base station, it mainly comprises for the responsive PRB number of resources of presence of intercell interference and positional information, and for the insensitive PRB number of resources of presence of intercell interference and positional information.
For the resource of inter-station interference coordinating use restriction strategy (as, HII, OI, RNTP even load information) method that produces can determine according to the implication of each load parameter.When resource is used restriction strategy between the implication generation base station according to each load parameter, need to consider the minizone dynamic disturbance information of each community of above-mentioned inside of base station, resource use restriction strategy, the interfere information on each PRB and the traffic load information of Cell Edge User that other base station is informed this base station before.In addition, consider that the cycle of the minizone dynamic disturbance information measurement/renewal of each community of inside of base station used the update cycle of restriction strategy short than resource between base station conventionally, therefore when determining that between base station, resource is used restriction strategy, use be before the minizone dynamic disturbance letter of each community of inside of base station of obtaining in several times measurement period.
Interference coordination information transmit-receive administration module comprises following processing unit: this base station sends to resource between the eNodeB of other base stations to use restriction strategy to inform unit via X2 interface, via X2 interface, receive resource between the eNodeB that other base station resources use restricted informations uses restriction strategy acquiring unit; If inner each district dynamic interference coordination of eNodeB adopt distributed scheme (as, the processing of each district dynamic interference coordination completes on different processor or board), also should comprise inside of base station dynamic interference coordination information transmitting unit, inside of base station dynamic interference coordination information receiving unit.This module is mainly used in carrying out resource between each eNodeB by X2 interface and uses the mutual of restricted information, for each community of inside of base station, according to inside of base station, for the interference coordination processing mode of each community, be that centralized or distributed resource is used restricted information transmitting-receiving management can have two kinds of implementations:
If an inside of base station community still adopt distributed interference coordination schemes (as, the processing of each district dynamic interference coordination completes on different processor or board), need to depend on equally this information transmit-receive administration module and carry out the mutual of inside of base station minizone dynamic disturbance information;
If employing centralized solution (as, the processing of each district dynamic interference coordination completes on same processor or board), between inner each community of eNodeB, do not need to carry out the mutual of inside of base station minizone dynamic disturbance information by this module.
Between eNodeB/eNodeB internal interference harmony messages processing module comprises following processing unit: information receiving unit (comprise for completing resource between the eNodeB that this base station of each district dynamic interfere information of inside of base station produces use resource between the eNodeB that restriction strategy, other base station produce to use the reception of restriction strategy); The scheduling strategy generation unit of each each Resource Block of community of inside of base station; The scheduling strategy of each each Resource Block of community of inside of base station is informed unit.This module is used resource between the eNodeB obtaining via X2 interface resource between the eNodeB that restriction strategy, this eNodeB produce use restriction strategy and consider for the dynamic disturbance information of interference mitigation between this eNodeB Nei Ge community simultaneously, forms final interference mitigation decision-making.The resource that this decision-making considers between eBodeB is used the minizone dynamic disturbance information of restriction strategy and eNodeB inside, and it shows as the adjustment for dissimilar user's PRB scheduling strategy.
According to from scheduler between interface different, the PRB scheduling strategy of interference coordination message processing module output is difference to some extent:
If there are two interfaces in itself and scheduler a), one of them interface is used the adjustment of restricted information to PRB scheduling strategy, the adjustment of another interface for exporting dynamic disturbance information Dui Ge community PRB scheduling strategy between eNodeB internal zone for exporting resource between eNodeB.That is:
Interface 1 output considers that between eNodeB, resource is used the PRB scheduling strategy of restriction strategy to be:
R
inter_ICIC=f(load_information,location_information,…)
Wherein load_information refers to HII, OI, RNTP even load information, that is between eNodeB, resource is used restriction strategy, and location_information is position area information, as Cell Center User/edge customer information.Output rusults is the PRB scheduling strategy of all kinds of UE that determine according to the positional information of load information, UE between eNB etc., and it is the function of the positional information of load information between eNodeB, UE.
Interface 2 outputs consider that the PRB scheduling strategy of eNB internal interference harmony messages is:
P
intra_dynIC=g(dynIC_information,…)
Wherein dynIC_information is the minizone dynamic disturbance information of eNodeB inside, and according to the specific design of dynamic interference coordination algorithm, determining of PRB scheduling strategy also may need other information.Output rusults P
intra_dynICfor the PRB scheduling strategy of all kinds of UE that determine according to eNB internal interference harmony messages etc., it is the function of eNB internal interference harmony messages.
B) if only there is an interface in itself and scheduler, this interface need to consider resource use restriction strategy information and inner each district dynamic interfere information of eNodeB between eNodeB, then form the PRB scheduling strategy of dynamic interference coordination, this PRB scheduling strategy can be determined according to following two kinds of modes:
B1): the expression formula of PRB scheduling strategy is
P
RRC_IM=h(P
intra_dynIC,P
inter_ICIC)
Parameter P wherein
inter_ICICand P
intra_dynICcan determine according to the method in a); P
rRC_IMpRB scheduling strategy for final output.
B2): the expression formula of PRB scheduling strategy is
Wherein parameter l oad_information refers to HII, OI, RNTP even load information, that is between eNodeB, resource is used restriction strategy; DynIC_information is each district dynamic interfere information of eNB inside; Location_information is position area information, as Cell Center User/edge customer information; P
rRC_IMpRB scheduling strategy for final output.
Situation for a set of PRB scheduling strategy of above-mentioned output and two cover PRB scheduling strategies, the two respectively has its pluses and minuses: a set of PRB scheduling strategy of situation only export to(for) dynamic interference coordination module, scheduler does not need the source of PRB scheduling strategy to consider, so the handling process of scheduler is relatively single; But its shortcoming is, the resource of other base stations of exporting to resource between the base station of other base stations when the dynamic disturbance information ,Zhe base station of each minizone of inside of base station and using restriction strategy, receiving from X2 interface is used restriction strategy, when any one information of three changes, all the renewal of this set of PRB scheduling strategy will be triggered.Situations for using two cover PRB scheduling strategies, need scheduler to consider respectively and integrated treatment it, thus the handling process relative complex of scheduler some; Its advantage is that the cycle based on this base station exports to that resource between the base station of other base stations is used restriction strategy, the resource of other base stations of receiving from X2 interface is used PRB scheduling strategy that restriction strategy generates conventionally to upgrade is long, and the PRB scheduling strategy update cycle of dynamic disturbance Information generation based on each minizone of inside of base station is shorter, is divided into the computation complexity that two parts can reduce PRB scheduling resource.
The implementation method of above-mentioned minizone dynamic interference coordination resource dispatching strategy in each scheduler is as follows:
If there are two kinds of interfaces between a) between eNodeB/eNodeB internal interference harmony messages processing module and scheduler, can carry out interference coordination according to following mode: when for each UE Resources allocation, need to consider that the information such as channel quality (CQI), transfer of data demand, terminal capability of this UE are to guarantee the overall performance of system and the performance of UE, the various PRB scheduling strategies of simultaneously also need to consider between eNodeB/eNodeB internal interference harmony messages processing module output, the reduction that can try one's best in the performance of assurance system, UE is like this disturbed.Now for UE, to carry out the method for resource distribution as follows:
P
schdul_IM=η(P
schul_CQI,P
intra_dynIC,P
inter_ICIC,…)
P wherein
schdul_CQIit is the decision-making of considering that other factors carries out.Final scheduling strategy is P
inter_ICIC, P
intra_dynIC, P
schdul_CQIdeng the coefficient result of many factors.
B) if between eNodeB/ only have a kind of interface between eNodeB internal interference harmony messages processing module and scheduler, can carry out resource allocation decisions according to following mode:
P
schdul_IM=θ(P
schul_CQI,P
RRC_IM,…)
P wherein
schdul_CQIit is the decision-making of considering that other factors carries out.Final scheduling strategy is P
rRC_IM, P
schdul_CQIdeng the coefficient result of many factors.
The present invention proposes a kind of interference coordination of LTE system optimization/alleviate scheme, it is minizone dynamic interference coordination, this scheme has considered the mutual feature of LTE system centralized management entity internal information, interference coordination schemes between the centralized management entity of combined standard definition, forms a kind of more optimal interference coordination/alleviate scheme.By the method, can alleviate the interference between inner each community of centralized management entity, and alleviate due to information interaction not in time or load information can not well adapt to the phenomenon of the interference mitigation poor effect that the dynamic change of wireless channel environment causes.The method can further alleviate the presence of intercell interference of LTE system, user's service quality in elevator system overall throughput performance and system.
