Adjust method and the base station of PRACH channel density
Technical field
The present invention relates to communication technical field, particularly method and the base station of a kind of adjustment PRACH (Physical Random Access Channel, Physical Random Access Channel) channel density.
Background technology
In LTE (Long-Term Evolution, Long Term Evolution) system, UE (User Equipment, subscriber equipment) uses the PRACH channel to initiate at random access, sets up up link.The PRACH channel need to take certain uplink time/frequency source.If the PRACH number is reserved too much, then can too seize the running time-frequency resource of Uplink Shared Channel, cause the reduction of total throughout; And if that the PRACH number is reserved is not enough, the collision that resource is seized in the time of then can increasing UE and initiate to access at random causes accessing the reduction of success rate.Therefore, the setting of PRACH channel density is an important configuration parameters of Operation ﹠ Maintenance System for the very important effect that ensures of the lifting of power system capacity and system service quality.Therefore how the density of reasonable disposition PRACH channel (being the number of PRACH channel in every 10ms) becomes key issue, to guarantee that not only accessing success rate reaches certain requirement, but also will make the density of PRACH channel as far as possible little, thereby reserve resource as much as possible for Uplink Shared Channel.
Configuration for the PRACH channel density in the prior art is undertaken by the deployment engineer, not only need to consider network planning result, also need to consider the prediction of community user quantity and service conditions, and also need to a great extent deployment engineer's experience and individual intuition.For example, covering radius is larger, and the PRACH channel density is higher, and perhaps the community user number is more, and the PRACH channel density is higher, the professional initiation frequently, and the PRACH channel density is higher.
The shortcoming that prior art exists is, relies on manual operation fully for the configuration of PRACH channel density, and the Operation and Maintenance cost is very high, and too relies on personal experience and judgement, and randomness is larger, is difficult for quantizing, and is wayward.The prediction of program results Network Based and community user quantity and service conditions is configured in addition, can because community user quantity and service conditions forecasting inaccuracy are true, cause configuration result inaccurate.In addition, owing to be to think adjustment, therefore when environmental change, often can't in time adjust.

Embodiment
The below describes embodiments of the invention in detail, and the example of described embodiment is shown in the drawings, and wherein identical or similar label represents identical or similar element or the element with identical or similar functions from start to finish.Be exemplary below by the embodiment that is described with reference to the drawings, only be used for explaining the present invention, and can not be interpreted as limitation of the present invention.
The present invention mainly is, automatically adjust the configuration of PRACH density according to the PRACH collision probability by the base station, therefore can not require artificial participation, the Operation and Maintenance cost is very low, and base station of the present invention can be adjusted PRACH density in real time according to environmental change, thereby better service quality and larger throughput are provided.And the present invention depends on community user quantity and service conditions to the adjustment of PRACH density unlike prior art, but depends on the PRACH collision probability, so accuracy rate is high.
In the process of the normal operation in base station, the PRACH channel can be monitored in the base station always, detects uplink synchronizing signals, has judged whether that the user initiates random access request.If there is the user to initiate to access at random, and without the PRACH conflict, then the testing result of base station will be as shown in Figure 1.If there are simultaneously a plurality of users to use the preamble code of same PRACH channel to initiate at random access, then the testing result of base station will be as shown in Figure 2.Can judge whether to exist from the peak value number that detects like this PRACH conflict.Through PRACH collision probability statistics after a while, can judge whether current PRACH density arranges suitable, and it is adjusted.
As shown in Figure 3, the method flow diagram for the adjustment Physical Random Access Channel PRACH channel density of the embodiment of the invention may further comprise the steps:
Step S301, the initial value of default PRACH density and the initial value of statistic period T were set to medium value such as initial value that can PRACH density, and the initial value of statistic period T is made as smaller value, such as 0.5 hour etc.
Step S302, base station detection statistics cycle T (if initial the adjustment, then be the initial value of statistic period T) sum of interior PRACH and the PRACH number (such as Fig. 2) of conflict is arranged, wherein, the sum of described PRACH comprises conflict free PRACH number (such as Fig. 1) and the PRACH number (such as Fig. 2) of conflict is arranged.
