In the mobile communication network, along with growing to the requirement of data rate and covering, traditional provides the method for access can not meet the demands with macro base station, by adopting cell splitting, and in hot zones or some low power base station of indoor deployment (Pico base station, Femto base station and Relay etc.), can be good at addressing this is that.Because low power base station is a kind of base station equipment be applied under family room's environment, working environment or other little overlay environment, operator can be made to provide the attractive business of more high data rate, more low cost.
But, the introducing of low power base station can cause the interference in system relative to even more serious same layer network, for the interference on control channel, become the bottleneck with lower heterogeneous network work frequently, how effectively to avoid interference is the problem needing to solve, and under Macro+Femto scene, the process of carrying out the sub-frame set transmitting restriction alternately cannot be realized in prior art.
For the problems referred to above, the embodiment of the present invention provides the method and apparatus disturbing in a kind of heterogeneous system and avoid, and with for schemes such as current time domain coordinate scheme and power controls, proposes a kind ofly to monitor the mode avoiding inter base station interference by eating dishes without rice or wine.And under Macro+Femto scene, also effectively can solve the interference problem existed under current Macro+Femto scene, effectively improve the systematic function in heterogeneous network and data rate.
Below in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in the present invention, be clearly and completely described the technical scheme in the present invention, obviously, described embodiment is only a part of embodiment of the present invention, instead of whole embodiments.Based on the embodiment in the present invention, those of ordinary skill in the art, not making the every other embodiment obtained under creative work prerequisite, belong to the scope of protection of the invention.
The embodiment of the present invention one provides a kind of method disturbed in heterogeneous system and avoid, and under the method is applied to the scene of Macro+Femto, as shown in Figure 3, the method that this interference is avoided comprises the following steps:
Step 301, FeNB starts shooting, and sets up synchronous with MeNB.
Wherein, the process that this foundation is synchronous comprises: FeNB is synchronous by what monitor that the CRS signal of MeNB keeps with MeNB.
Step 302, FeNB obtains and receives the subframe position set that information is avoided in interference.
Concrete, when after FeNB start, the network management information from Network Management Equipment can be received, in this network management information, comprise the subframe position set (namely FeNB can avoid information by the interference of this subframe position set reception MeNB) disturbed and avoid information corresponding.Wherein, this subframe position set is identical for MeNB and FeNB, and MeNB needs to send interference in these subframe position and avoids information, and FeNB needs the interference receiving MeNB in these subframe position to avoid information, carries out interference and avoids.
Further, Network Management Equipment needs the network management information carrying subframe position set (MeNB sends interference and avoids the subframe position set of information) to inform to FeNB and MeNB, send interference by MeNB according to this subframe position set and avoid information, FeNB monitors interference according to this subframe position set and avoids information.
Certainly, in practical application, by other means subframe position set can also be informed to FeNB and MeNB, such as, after MeNB knows subframe position set, by MeNB, subframe position set is informed to FeNB, for convenience of description, illustrate no longer in detail in the embodiment of the present invention.
In the embodiment of the present invention, when after FeNB start, the subframe position set avoiding information corresponding is disturbed in the reception that can also receive in predefined subframe position set from MeNB.Wherein, this predefined subframe position set can be selected arbitrarily according to actual needs, or is pre-defined by agreement; The subframe position set avoiding information corresponding is disturbed in the reception that the mode that this receive mode includes but not limited to receive RRC signaling or system information receives from MeNB.
In addition, in practical application, predefined subframe position set can also be defined as receiving the subframe position set disturbed and avoid information corresponding, repeat no more in the embodiment of the present invention.
Step 303, information is avoided in the interference that FeNB receives MeNB in this subframe position set.
In the embodiment of the present invention, this interference avoids information to include but not limited to:
Subframe configuration information, includes but not limited in this subframe configuration information: need the sub-frame set carrying out transmitting restriction, carry out the type (as almostblank or MBSFN sub-frame) etc. transmitting restriction.

Before it should be noted that information is avoided in interference that FeNB receives MeNB in this subframe position set, MeNB needs to avoid information to send to FeNB interference in this subframe position set.
Concrete, interference avoids information to send to the mode of FeNB to include but not limited to by MeNB:
Interference avoids information to send to FeNB by the mode of RRC (RadioResourceControl, wireless heterogeneous networks) signaling by MeNB; Or,
Interference avoids information to send to FeNB by the mode of system information (SIB/MIB information) by MeNB.
Corresponding, the interference that FeNB receives MeNB in this subframe position set avoids the mode of information to include but not limited to:
Information is avoided in the interference that FeNB receives MeNB in the mode receiving RRC signaling in this subframe position set; Or,
Information is avoided in the interference that FeNB receives MeNB in the mode of receiving system information in this subframe position set.
FeNB is configured to MBSFN (MultimediaBroadcastmulticastserviceSingleFrequencyNetwor k, multimedia broadcast multi-broadcasting business Single Frequency Network) subframe in this sub-frame set.
It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present invention, for TDD (TimeDivisionDuplexing, time division duplex) system, obtain interference to enable FeNB and avoid information, between FeNB and MeNB, also need the symbolshift of certain symbol.Such as, suppose in the control area of FeNB, to only have a symbol, have the shift of two symbols between FeNB and MeNB, the schematic diagram of symbolshift as shown in Figure 4, the RRC signaling or the system information that the position being configured to MBSFN sub-frame at FeNB receive MeNB avoid information to obtain interference.
Step 304, FeNB avoids information in corresponding subframe position, carry out transmission restriction according to interference.
Wherein, transmit restriction and refer to that interference base station (such as, FeNB) limits the transmission of its particular channel in some subframe position, to avoid the interference to disturbed system in this subframe; Or,
Interference base station limits the transmission of its particular channel in whole subframe, to avoid the interference to disturbed system in this subframe; Or,
The particular channel power enterprising Row sum-equal matrix of interference base station in subframe, to avoid the interference to disturbed system in this subframe.
Concrete, owing to avoiding in interference carrying the information such as subframe configuration information, power control information in information, then avoid information FeNB can carry out transmission restriction according to interference, repeat no longer in detail in this process embodiment of the present invention.
In sum, by adopting above-mentioned processing procedure, information is avoided in the interference that namely can obtain MeNB on FeNB, and avoids information to carry out transmission restriction according to interference, thus the interference realized between FeNB and MeNB is avoided.
In actual applications, if when acquisition disturbs the subframe position set avoiding information corresponding to change, the method can also comprise the following steps:
Step 305, determines that the subframe position set avoiding information corresponding is disturbed in the reception after changing.
Wherein, if when needing to upgrade the subframe position set obtaining and disturb and avoid information corresponding, then the reception after change can disturb the subframe position set avoiding information corresponding to submit to Network Management Equipment by network management interface by MeNB, determine that the subframe position set avoiding information corresponding is disturbed in the reception after changing by Network Management Equipment, and this information is sent to MeNB and FeNB.Certainly, in practical application, Network Management Equipment also can be determined to change the rear subframe position set receiving interference and avoid information corresponding by other means, repeats no more in the embodiment of the present invention.
Or, MeNB determine change after reception disturb the subframe position set avoiding information corresponding, and the reception before change disturb avoid information corresponding sub-frame set position on by RRC signaling or system information transmission change after reception disturb the subframe position set avoiding information corresponding.
Step 306, FeNB obtains and receives the subframe position set that information is avoided in interference.After acquisition subframe position set, to forward in step 303 interference subframe position set in the updated receiving MeNB to and avoid information.
In this step, FeNB obtains to receive to disturb and avoids the mode of the subframe position set of information to include but not limited to:
(1), after Network Management Equipment determines that the subframe position set avoiding information corresponding is disturbed in the reception after changing, the subframe position set avoiding information corresponding is disturbed to inform to FeNB the reception after change.
(2) MeNB disturb in current reception avoid information corresponding subframe position set on by change after reception disturb the subframe position set avoiding information corresponding to inform to FeNB.
Concrete, after the subframe position set avoiding information corresponding is disturbed in the reception after MeNB knows change, the subframe position set after change can be informed to FeNB by RRC signaling or system information by MeNB in current subframe position set.The reception of FeNB after change is disturbed the subframe position set avoiding information corresponding to obtain interference and is avoided information, and corresponding sub-frame set is carried out transmission restriction.
In actual applications, if when the subframe position set carrying out transmitting restriction changes, the method can also comprise the following steps:
Step 307, determines the subframe position set of the carrying out transmission restriction after changing.
Wherein, if when needing to upgrade the subframe position set carrying out transmitting restriction, then the subframe position set of the carrying out transmission restriction after change can be submitted to Network Management Equipment by network management interface by MeNB, determined the subframe position set carrying out transmitting restriction by Network Management Equipment, and this information is sent to MeNB and FeNB.Certainly, in practical application, Network Management Equipment also can determine the subframe position set of the carrying out transmission restriction after changing by other means, repeats no more in the embodiment of the present invention.
Or the needs after MeNB determines change carry out transmitting the subframe position set limited, and transmit by the carrying out after RRC signaling or system information transmission change the subframe position set limited on the sub-frame set position that FeNB reception interference avoids information corresponding.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the reason that the subframe position set carrying out transmitting restriction changes includes but not limited to: the number due to the MUE be disturbed causes subframe position set to change, causes subframe position set to change due to traffic needs, by the mode of pre-planning, subframe position set changed.
