Abstract
A method of controlling the transmit power of a control channel transmitted from a pico base station is disclosed. The pico base station may control the transmission power of the control channel according to the position of the macro terminal adjacent to the pico base station. If the macro terminal is located within the coverage of the pico base station, the pico base station can reduce the transmit power of the control channel so that the macro terminal can receive the control signal from the macro base station without the influence of interference.
Description
The following embodiments relate to a control channel power control technique of a pico base station, and more particularly, to a technique of controlling control channel power of a pico base station based on a location of a macro terminal.
A network in which a macro base station and a pico base station use the same frequency resource is called a heterogeneous network. In such a network, there is interference between a macrocell including a macro base station and a picocell including a pico base station.
Interference in the data channel can be controlled using interference avoidance techniques such as Inter-Cell Interference Canceling (ICIC). However, it is very difficult to control interference in a control channel transmitted using the same frequency and the same time interval.
On the other hand, a pico base station to which all terminals are accessible, such as an Open Pico Base Station (OSG), may allow handover of the macro terminal when the macro terminal connected to the macro base station approaches. Therefore, the problem of interference of the control channel is not serious.
However, a pico base station to which only a specific terminal is connected, such as a closed pico base station (CSG), does not allow handover of the macro terminal even when the macro terminal connected to the macro base station approaches.
Therefore, the macro terminal must transmit data to the macro base station even within the coverage of the pico base station. Within the coverage of the pico base station, since the macro terminal can receive a very strong interference signal from the pico base station, the communication quality is degraded.
One side of exemplary embodiments provides a technique by which a macro terminal can maintain a connection with a macro base station even near a pico base station.
Another side of the exemplary embodiments provides a method and apparatus that can reduce the effects of interference in the vicinity of a pico base station.
According to one side of the exemplary embodiment, determining whether the macro terminal connected to the macro base station is located within the coverage of the pico base station and controlling the transmission power of the control channel transmitted in at least one frequency band according to the determination Provided is a method for controlling power of a pico base station comprising a step.
According to yet another aspect of an exemplary embodiment, a method of operating a macro terminal, the method comprising: generating signal quality information of a reference signal received from a pico base station, transmitting the signal quality information to a macro base station, and the signal quality The information is used to determine whether the macro terminal is located within the coverage of the pico base station, and when the macro terminal is located within the coverage of the pico base station, at least one of a plurality of frequency bands allocated to the pico base station There is provided a method of operating a macro terminal, the method including receiving an interference signal having a reduced strength with respect to the above frequency band.
According to another aspect of the exemplary embodiment, the step of receiving the signal quality of the reference signal received from the pico base station by the macro terminal from the macro terminal, the macro terminal is based on the signal quality of the reference signal of the pico base station And determining whether the mobile station is located within coverage, wherein the macro terminal is configured to receive an interference signal whose strength is reduced for at least one or more frequency bands from the plurality of frequency bands allocated to the pico base station according to the determination. A method of operating a macro base station for receiving is provided.
According to one side of the exemplary embodiments, the macro terminal may maintain a connection with the macro base station even near the pico base station.
According to another side of the exemplary embodiments can reduce the effect of interference in the vicinity of the pico base station.

When the pico base station receives the random access preamble from the macro terminal, the pico base station may determine that the macro terminal is located within the coverage of the pico base station.
According to one side, the random access preamble transmitted by the macro terminal may be a preamble allocated to the macro terminal among the random access preambles that can be received by the pico base station. Therefore, if the pico base station receives the preamble assigned to the macro terminal, the pico base station may determine that the macro terminal is located within the coverage of the pico base station.

According to one side, the macro base station may receive a reference signal received power (RSRP) of the reference signal or a signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the reference signal as the signal quality in the macro terminal.
In
According to one side, the signal quality may be the reception strength of the reference signal. In this case, the macro base station may compare the reception strength of the reference signal with a predetermined first threshold. If the reception strength of the reference signal is greater than the first threshold, the macro base station may determine that the macro terminal is located within the coverage of the pico base station.

According to one side, the pico base station may control the transmission power of the control channel to '0' to minimize the strength of the interference signal transmitted to the macro terminal.
According to one side, the pico base station may be connected to the pico terminals using a plurality of frequency bands. In this case, the pico base station determines a frequency band from which the macro terminal is connected to the macro base station among the plurality of frequency bands.
