Description

The method of in the base station, implementing that is used for confirming uplink power level
The application be that May 14, application number in 2002 are 02809875.7 the applying date, exercise question divides an application for the one Chinese patent application of " calculating the method and the subscriber equipment of the power grade of up-link transmission power ".
Technical field
The present invention relates to radio digital communication system.Especially, the invention relates to a kind of code division multiple access (CDMA) communication system of utilizing the up-link power control of adaptive modulation and coding.
Background technology
Inserting code division multiple access (CDMA) third generation (3G) mobile communication system is transmission to be used carry out adaptive modulation and coding (AM&C), to reach and to improve the Radio Resource utilization and provide the data transfer rate of increase to serve to be used for the user.Adaptive modulation and coding (AM&C) technology is before transmission, to consider radio frequency (RF) propagation conditions, to confirm to help most the modulation and the code rate of present radio frequency (RF) propagation conditions.
A kind of method of confirming radio frequency (RF) propagation conditions is before each transmission, carries out the channel quality measurement at receiver.This measurement is transferred into transmitter, its subsequently just according to this physical channel quality measurement to confirm to be suitable for the modulation and the code rate of specific transmission.
Radio frequency (RF) propagation conditions is promptly to change, particularly in moving application.Because the quality measurement of radio interface is in order to confirming suitable modulation and coding and because channel quality measurements is possibly change rapidly because radio frequency (RF) propagation conditions changes, the usefulness of adaptability transmission course be directly related to carry out quality measurement and open this time period between transmitting of beginning (just: the stand-by period >.Therefore, for obtaining optimum adaptation modulation and coding (AM&C), all users with movable transfer of data just need utilize minimum latency to carry out channel quality and measure.
Physics or logical control channel are to transfer to transmitter in order to channel quality is measured by receiver.Channel quality signaling (signaling) can be utilized the DCCH of each subscriber equipment (UE), also or the shared CCCH of all subscriber equipmenies (UE).When adopting DCCH, when propagating the measurement of each subscriber equipment (UE) channel quality, continuous signaling channel capable of using.From the viewpoint of usefulness, this is the optimal solution of adaptive modulation and coding (AM&C), because quality measurement is continuously available.If consider the continuous available quality measurement that suitably modulation and coding are set, then transmission possibly occur in any time.In addition, follow available always DCCH in up link, then this channel also can be used to support the low rate uplink data transmission.
The difficulty of DCCH approach is: physical resource is continuously configuration ground, even as the same when not having transfer of data.The main application of adaptive modulation and coding (AM&C) technology is the high data rate service of non real-time, and for example, world-wide web inserts.As far as this type of service, optimum quality of service (QoS) can rely on the weak point, the high rate data transmission that between each transmission, have long relatively idle period to be reached.This isometric idle period can cause the poor efficiency of special-purpose data to be used.
This problem periodicity dedicated channel of structure in advance capable of using is configured to be minimized.Yet this measure but can cause the periodicity unavailability of quality measurement.If quality measurement is not continuously available, then for the subscriber equipment (UE) that transmission is all arranged at any time, just has only certain certain customers' equipment (UE) can have nearest channel quality and measure.
When adopting shared control channel, all subscriber equipmenies (UE) in the sub-district are shared the continuous signaling channel.In the third generation-time division duplex (3G TDD) system, the up link CCCH typically is the single time slot that occupies in the multiple time slot.The program that each subscriber equipment (UE) inserts shared control channel is defined, and subscriber equipment (UE) sign can be used for distinguishing the transaction of special user equipment (UE).
For the competition of avoiding the up link CCCH inserts, on the down link CCCH, must send individual configuration with signal.Perhaps, some between downlink configuration and uplink configuration should belong to and can be defined.Each subscriber equipment (UE) is to insert the up link CCCH according to its configuration immediately.Because ul transmissions can't be always by the network prediction and because ul transmissions is not frequent (in certain applications, only transmitting for 5% time); Therefore if will propagate uplink radio resources requires with the support uplink subscriber data, then also need the periodicity configuration of up CCCH.Therefore, when adaptive modulation and coding (AM&C) operation employing shared control channel, there is not loop internal power controlling mechanism in each subscriber equipment (UE), because CCCH is discontinuous available.
In view of this, main purpose of the present invention provides a kind of efficient method, is used for when being enough to carry out the required burden of the method and minimizing, and carries out power control.
Summary of the invention
The present invention uses the both open loop technology to confirm the power grade of up link CCCH transmission, and it is before the transmission of up link CCCH, to send the information in the down link with signal, in order to reach optimal power level.The specific uplink control channel of base station configuration indication uplink channel interference, and (alternatively>the quality boundary of time slot.Subscriber equipment (UE) transmits on particular channel, and according to subscriber equipment (UE) path loss of being calculated and the data that the base station received, confirms the suitable power grade of transmission.
According to an aspect of the present invention, a kind of method of in the base station, implementing that is used for confirming uplink power level is provided, this method comprises: come receiving communication signal through the up link CCCH; Measure the interference on the said up link CCCH in response to the signal of communication that receives; Monitor the channel quality on the said up link CCCH, and be provided for the quality boundary of said signal of communication; And transmit said quality boundary through downlink control channel.
