Description
WO 99/12370 PCT/FI98/00671 1 MEASURING UPLINK INTERFERENCE IN RADIO SYSTEM, AND BASE STATION The invention relates to a method of measuring uplink interference in a cellular radio system comprising in each cell at least one base station communicating with subscriber terminals in its area by one or more transceiv 5 ers, and which base station comprises at least one floating transceiver. The invention also relates to a method of measuring uplink interfer ence in a cellular radio system comprising in each cell at least one base sta tion communicating with subscriber terminals in its area by one or more trans ceivers, and which base station comprises at least one transceiver comprising 10 a diversity receiver. The invention also relates to a base station in a cellular radio sys tem comprising in each cell at least one base station, which base station com prises one or more transceivers, and which base station communicates with subscriber terminals in its area, and which base station comprises at least one 15 floating transceiver. The invention also relates to a base station in a cellular radio sys tem comprising in each cell at least one base station, which base station com prises one or more transceivers, and which base station communicates with subscriber terminals in its area, and which base station comprises at least one 20 transceiver comprising a diversity receiver. In a cellular radio system, each cell comprises at least one base station communicating with subscriber terminals in its area via one or more transceivers. A base station controller controls the operation of one or more base stations. In cellular radio systems, user speech and data traffic is trans 25 mitted between a base station and a subscriber terminal by using traffic chan nels. In addition, different kinds of control messages and system information transmitted by means of control channels are needed between the base sta tion and the subscriber terminal. The method and base station of the invention can be applied to any cellular radio system utilizing a TDMA system and/or an 30 FDMA system. Today, different types of interference and interference measure ments are of great importance to cellular radio systems, since many different types of systems are in use and an increasing number of new cellular radio networks are being built. Cellular radio system network designers, in particular, 35 need tools for measuring the interference. A significant problem for the net work designers is how to measure uplink interference in the cellular radio sys- WO 99/12370 PCT/FI98/00671 2 tems, in other words, how to measure the interference of the traffic coming from the subscriber terminal to the base station. Information about the uplink interference is important when a new channel is being added to the cell, for example. The purpose is then to select the most suitable channel with a mini 5 mum amount of interference. The importance of measuring the uplink interfer ence becomes even more stressed if the cellular radio systems begin to use automatic channel allocation. In the prior art, the uplink interference in a cellular radio system is measured over the entire width of the reception band by a spectrum analyzer 10 at the site of a base station. The measuring is laborious and expensive, be cause it must be done at the base station site. If the interference is occasional and only appears at a certain time of the day, for example, it may take several hours or even days for a person to accomplish the measuring at the base sta tion site. 15 An object of the invention is to provide a new type of method of measuring uplink interference in a cellular radio system, and a base station for eliminating the above-mentioned prior art shortcomings. This object is achieved by the method of the invention, which is characterized by using at least one floating transceiver for measuring the 20 uplink interference. Alternatively, the method of the invention is characterized by using at least one transceiver comprising the diversity receiver for measuring the uplink interference. The base station of the invention is characterized in that the base 25 station comprises means for using at least one floating transceiver for meas uring the uplink interference. Alternatively, the base station of the invention is characterized in that the base station comprises means for using at least one transceiver com prising the diversity receiver for measuring the uplink interference. 30 The method and base station of the invention provide many ad vantages as compared with the prior art. Owing to the method and base sta tion of the invention, separate measurements made with a spectrum analyzer are no longer required at the base station site, but the measurements are made by specific equipments in the base station. Consequently, expensive 35 and difficult measurements requiring the presence of persons at the site are in this respect no longer needed. The equipments in the base station can meas- WO 99/12370 PCT/F198/00671 3 ure the interference from the desired channels or over the entire width of the reception band, and, as compared with the earlier measurements that required the presence of persons at the site, quite a long measurement time is possi ble, if required. It is a significant advantage of the method and base station of 5 the invention that measuring the uplink interference does not dramatically dis turb the normal operation of the base station. In the following, the invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 shows a cellular radio system wherein the method and 10 base station of the invention can be applied, Figure 2 shows a block diagram of a first preferred embodiment of the base station of the invention, and Figure 3 shows a block diagram of a second preferred embodiment of the base station of the invention. 15 Figure 1 shows a cellular radio system wherein the method and base station of the invention can be applied. The cellular radio system com prises in each cell at least one base station BTS communicating by one or more transceivers with subscriber terminals MS in its area. A base station controller BSC controls the operation of one or more base stations BTS. In 20 cellular radio systems, user speech and data traffic is transmitted between the base station BTS and the subscriber terminal MS by means of traffic channels. In addition, different kinds of control messages and system information trans mitted by means of control channels are needed between the base station BTS and the subscriber terminal MS. The method and base station of the in 25 vention can be applied to any cellular radio system utilizing a TDMA system and/or an FDMA system. Block diagrams presented in Figures 2 and 3 are examples of the base stations of the invention, and they can be used in the GSM, DCS or PCS 1900 cellular radio systems. Figure 2 shows a block diagram of a first preferred embodiment of 30 the base station of the invention. The base station of Figure 2 is called a sec tored base station, i.e. the same base station includes several cells. In the GSM radio system, for example, each cell has a specific BCCH channel and specific traffic channel numbers. In the sectored base station, each cell has specific transceivers, specific antenna connection means, and specific anten 35 nas. The base station of Figure 2 comprises two sectors, i.e. the base WO 99/12370 PCT/F198/00671 4 station serves two different cells. Transceivers TRX1 and TRX2, antenna con nection means AFE1, a transmitter antenna ATX1, a main receiver antenna ARX1 and a diversity receiver antenna ADRX1 are provided for a first cell. For a second cell there are provided transceivers TRX3 and TRX4, antenna con 5 nection means AFE2, a transmitter antenna ATX2, a main receiver antenna ARX2 and a diversity receiver antenna ADRX2. BCF is a base station control unit, and TRU is a transmission card connecting the base station to a base station controller via a link. Besides a transmitter part, all transceivers of the base station of Figure 2 include a main receiver and a diversity receiver. The 10 diversity receiver is an accessory. The base station of Figure 2 also includes a floating transceiver FTRX and a connection unit FTS. The floating transceiver FTRX has the same properties as other base station transceivers, and it is connected to the an tenna connection means AFE1 or AFE2 via the connection unit FTS. It is also 15 known that the floating transceiver is used, for example, as fixedly installed in a cell to increase its capacity or as a redundant accessory in case of malfunc tions of other transceivers. It is also known that the floating transceiver is dy namically used to increase capacity in a cell. In the method of the invention, the floating transceiver FTRX is 20 used instead of, or along with, the normal operation for measuring the uplink interference. If the floating transceiver is a redundant accessory in the normal operation, it is for most of the time idle. In that case it can be used for continu ously measuring the uplink interference for quite long periods. The floating transceiver measures uplink interference levels from the cell to which it is con 25 nected. The floating transceiver is tuned to the desired channels according to a command given by the base station control unit BCF, or the uplink interfer ence is measured over the entire width of the reception band, if desired. The base station reports interference measurement results to the base station controller BSC. A list of channels that contain a minimum amount of interfer 30 ence or the interference levels of all channels can be sent as the results. If the floating transceiver is not idle, it will be released, after which the floating trans ceiver starts measuring the uplink interference. Besides a main receiver, the floating transceiver may also include a diversity receiver. The uplink interfer ence can be measured solely via the main receiver or solely via the diversity 35 receiver, or simultaneously via both receivers. The base station of the invention is characterized in that the base WO 99/12370 PCT/FI98/00671 5 station comprises the means BCF for using the floating transceiver FTRX for measuring the uplink interference. The base station comprises the means BCF and FTRX for measuring the uplink interference either from the desired chan nels or over the entire width of the reception band. The base station comprises 5 the means BCF for using the floating transceiver FTRX for measuring the uplink interference when the floating transceiver is idle. If the floating trans ceiver FTRX is not idle, the base station comprises the means BCF for re leasing the floating transceiver FTRX from other tasks before it starts measur ing the uplink interference. The floating transceiver FTRX comprises the main 10 receiver and the diversity receiver. The base station comprises the means BCF and FTRX for measuring the uplink interference solely via the main re ceiver of the floating transceiver FTRX, solely via the diversity receiver, or si multaneously via the main receiver and the diversity receiver. The base station control unit BCF can be implemented by software with a signal processor or a 15 general purpose processor, for example, or by using separate components, as it is obvious to those skilled in the art. The floating transceiver FTRX can be connected to either of the cells of the base station and it can measure the uplink interference character istic of said cell. Since measuring involves the use of reception antennas of 20 said base station cell, the measured uplink interference is identical to the in terference detected by the receivers of the cell. Measuring the uplink interfer ence does not dramatically disturb the normal operation of the base station. Figure 3 shows a block diagram of a second preferred embodiment of the base station of the invention. The base station of Figure 3 includes only 25 one cell. The base station comprises transceivers TRX1 to TRX4, antenna connection means AFE, a transmitter antenna ATX, a main receiver antenna ARX and a diversity receiver antenna ADRX. BCF is a base station control unit and TRU is a transmission card connecting the base station via a link to a base station controller. Besides a transmitter part, all base station transceivers 30 of Figure 3 include a main receiver and a diversity receiver. The diversity re ceiver is an accessory. The base stations are generally so designed that besides a main receiver, each transceiver may include a diversity receiver. These transceivers are generally similar except that both have a specific antenna. These anten 35 nas are physically disposed at different locations in order that a signal coming from the subscriber terminal to the base station would not simultaneously at- WO 99/12370 PCT/FI98/00671 6 tenuate in the same manner both at the main receiver and at the diversity re ceiver. In reception, the base station uses either the main receiver signal or the diversity receiver signal, depending on which signal has a better signal-to noise ratio. The choice takes place in a baseband part of the transceiver. 5 In the method of the invention, the transceiver TRX1 comprising the diversity receiver is used for measuring the uplink interference. The uplink in terference is measured via the diversity receiver of the transceiver TRX1 when the diversity receiver is idle. If the diversity receiver of the transceiver TRX1 is not idle, it will be released before it starts measuring the uplink interference. At 10 the same time, the diversity amplification of the transceiver TRX1 is lost for the duration of measuring the interference. When the interference is measured, the diversity receiver is tuned to frequencies to be measured, and the uplink interference can be measured over the entire width of the reception band, if desired. The base station reports interference measurement results to the 15 base station controller BSC. A list of channels with a minimum amount of in terference or the interference levels of all channels can be sent as the results. During the uplink interference measurement, the main receiver of the trans ceiver TRX1 is used normally for call traffic reception. The base station of the invention is characterized in that it com 20 prises the means BCF for using the transceiver TRX1 comprising the diversity receiver for measuring the uplink interference. The base station comprises the means BCF and TRX1 for measuring the uplink interference via the diversity receiver of the transceiver TRX1. The base station comprises the means BCF and TRX1 for measuring the uplink interference either from the desired chan 25 nels or over the entire width of the reception band. The base station comprises the means BCF for using the diversity receiver of the transceiver TRX1 for measuring the interference when the diversity receiver is idle. If the diversity receiver of the transceiver TRX1 is not idle, the base station comprises the means BCF for releasing it from other tasks before it starts measuring the in 30 terference. The base station control unit BCF can be implemented by software with a signal processor or a general purpose processor, for example, or by using separate components, as it is obvious to those skilled in the art. Although the invention is described above with reference to the ex amples according to the attached drawings, it is obvious that the invention is 35 not restricted thereto but it can be modified in many ways within the scope of the inventive idea presented in the claims. The preferred embodiments and WO 99/12370 PCT/F198/00671 7 other detailed solutions emphasize the advantages of the invention.
