Description

Communication method and device using frequency offset, base station and base station control equipment
Technical Field
The present invention relates to communications technologies, and in particular, to a communications technology using frequency offset.
Background
With the development of the wireless communication market, the requirements on the capacity and performance of the network are higher and higher. For example, in Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), network capacity can be increased by increasing frequency multiplexing or by using Orthogonal sub-channels (VAMOS).
In VAMOS technology, multiple handsets are assigned to the same radio channel at the same time, distinguished by different training sequences. Based on the technology, the original channel can be divided into a plurality of sub-channels, so that the resource which can only be originally allocated to one user can be simultaneously allocated to a plurality of users for use. Whether the frequency reuse improvement technology or the VAMOS technology is adopted, the method can be implemented on the basis of the improvement of the receiving performance of the network and the terminal. The mobile phone with good receiving performance can still correctly provide better service quality under the condition of very low carrier-to-interference ratio, and the network can carry out tighter frequency planning and improve the utilization rate of frequency spectrum. On the condition that the frequency plan is not changed, the VAMOS technology multiplexes two users on one channel, and the utilization rate of the channel is improved by two times.
In practical tests, many terminals are found to be prone to dropped calls or degraded voice quality when VAMOS multiplexing is performed. However, the reason for the dropped call or voice quality degradation of the terminal is not clear in the prior art.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The exemplary embodiments and descriptions of the present invention are provided to explain the present invention, but not to limit the present invention.
Under the existing network architecture, a terminal may drop a call due to a too high carrier-to-interference ratio or a too low carrier-to-interference ratio, and the inventor of the present invention finds through a lot of tests and analyses that: the reason why the terminal has a call drop is mainly caused by the fact that the reference frequency of the terminal is greatly deviated from the reference frequency of the network side. As the deviation between the reference frequency of the terminal and the reference frequency of the network side is large, the terminal fails to receive the downlink signal or the base station fails to receive the uplink signal of the terminal, thereby causing a call drop. The phenomenon that the reference frequency of the terminal is greatly deviated from the reference frequency of the network side can be called frequency desynchronization. The existing method for adjusting the receiving performance of the network and the terminal is to adjust the transmitting power of the network side or the terminal by detecting the receiving quality and the receiving level. This approach does not address dropped calls due to out-of-sync terminal frequencies. In the prior art, a mechanism for detecting the desynchronization of the terminal frequency is not provided, and a mechanism for calibrating the reference frequency of the mobile phone according to the desynchronization detection of the terminal frequency is not provided.
An embodiment of the present invention provides a communication method using frequency offset, as shown in fig. 1, the method may include:
s101, demodulating an uplink signal sent by a terminal to obtain a first frequency deviation between a carrier frequency of the uplink signal and a reference frequency of a network side;
after receiving the uplink signal sent by the terminal, the network side performs demodulation, and the specific demodulation mode is basically the same as the mode in the prior art, and is not described here again. When demodulating the uplink signal, the network side may obtain, through a frequency offset estimation algorithm, a first frequency offset between a carrier frequency of the uplink signal of the terminal and a reference frequency of the network side.
And S102, judging whether the first frequency deviation meets a preset out-of-step condition, and if the first frequency deviation meets the preset out-of-step condition, confirming that the terminal has frequency out-of-step.
In the prior art, because the phenomenon that the terminal is out of step in frequency is not considered, after the frequency offset is estimated, only the received signal is subjected to deviation rectification processing, and whether the terminal is out of step in frequency is not detected according to the first frequency deviation. In this embodiment, after the first frequency deviation between the carrier frequency of the uplink signal of the terminal and the reference frequency of the network side is estimated in S101, whether frequency step-out occurs in the terminal may be further determined according to the first frequency deviation.
The preset out-of-step condition here may include: the absolute value of the first frequency deviation is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value; and/or the variation characteristic of the first frequency deviation meets a preset variation characteristic; and/or if the base station is located in the area range where the terminal does not move at a high speed, the first frequency deviation exceeds an allowable error range, and if the base station is located in the area range where the terminal moves at a high speed, the absolute value of the first frequency deviation is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value.
There may be various ways to determine whether the first frequency deviation satisfies the predetermined out-of-step condition, for example:
A. comparing the absolute value of the first frequency deviation with a preset threshold, if the absolute value of the first frequency deviation is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the terminal may be considered to meet a preset out-of-step condition, and the preset threshold may be set empirically, and in general, if the first frequency deviation caused by the movement of the terminal is not too high, for example, below 400Hz, 400Hz may be used as the preset threshold, and of course, the preset threshold may be different values according to different terminal types or different network systems or different accuracy requirements, which is not to be taken as an example here. In addition, in order to make the detection result more stable, the absolute values of the acquired plurality of first frequency deviations may be averaged or filtered within a first preset period, and the result of the averaging or filtering may be compared with a preset threshold.
B. And comparing the change characteristic of the first frequency deviation with the pre-stored change characteristic information, and judging whether the first frequency deviation meets a preset out-of-step condition according to the comparison result.
The prestored change characteristic information may be information indicating a change characteristic of frequency offset caused by terminal movement, or information indicating a change characteristic of frequency offset caused by terminal frequency step-out. The pre-stored change characteristic information can be obtained through a test analysis in advance and is stored on the network side as reference information.
The method can be specifically realized by the following steps: in the second preset period, the change characteristic of the first frequency deviation is recorded, the recording mode may be directly recording the first frequency deviation result obtained by each frequency offset estimation, or may be recording a difference between the first frequency deviation between the carrier frequency of the uplink signal of the terminal and the reference frequency of the network side and the first frequency deviation between the carrier frequency of the uplink signal of the terminal and the reference frequency of the network side last time. The recorded variation characteristic of the first frequency deviation may be compared with the variation characteristic information stored in advance, for example, the recorded variation characteristic of the first frequency deviation may be correlated with the variation characteristic information stored in advance to obtain a correlation coefficient, and whether the first frequency deviation satisfies a predetermined step-out condition is determined according to the correlation coefficient. If the pre-stored change characteristic information is information representing frequency offset change characteristics caused by terminal frequency desynchronization, whether the correlation coefficient is greater than or equal to a preset first correlation threshold can be detected, if so, the first frequency deviation can be considered to meet a preset desynchronization condition (namely, the preset change characteristic is met), otherwise, the first frequency deviation can be considered to not meet the preset desynchronization condition; if the pre-stored change characteristic information is information representing frequency offset change characteristics caused by terminal movement, whether the correlation coefficient is smaller than or equal to a preset second correlation threshold can be detected, if so, the first frequency deviation can be considered to meet a preset out-of-step condition (namely, the preset change characteristic is met), otherwise, the first frequency deviation can be considered to not meet the preset out-of-step condition. Wherein the first correlation threshold and the second correlation threshold are any value between 0 and 1, and can be set in practical situations. The second preset period and the first preset period may be equal to or different from each other, and the first preset period and the second preset period may be set according to actual needs.
C. Whether the first frequency deviation meets a preset out-of-step condition or not can be judged by combining the position information of the base station. If it is known from the location information of the base station that the base station is not deployed in the area where the terminal moves at high speed (i.e., the terminal non-high-speed movement area), such as an expressway or an expressway, and the first frequency deviation is not within an allowable error range (e.g., [ -10Hz, 10Hz ]), it may be considered that the first frequency deviation satisfies a preset out-of-step condition. And if the base station is positioned in the area range where the terminal moves at a high speed, judging whether the absolute value of the first frequency deviation is greater than a preset threshold value, and if so, judging that the first frequency deviation meets a preset out-of-step condition. The preset threshold value here and the preset threshold value in the mode a may be the same value.
It should be noted that, since the frequency offset estimation may have a certain error, an allowable error range may be set here, and the allowable error range may be an open interval, a closed interval, or the like.
It should be noted that the above manners for determining whether the first frequency deviation satisfies the predetermined out-of-step condition may be used alone or in combination. For example, after the first frequency deviation is judged to satisfy the preset step-out condition according to the mode a, the correlation between the change characteristic of the first frequency deviation and the change characteristic information stored in advance in the second preset period time after the judgment according to the mode B is further judged, and if the preset step-out condition is still satisfied, the first frequency deviation is considered to satisfy the preset step-out condition, so that the judgment on whether the terminal has the frequency step-out is more stable.
By the method in the embodiment, the phenomenon of the desynchronization of the terminal frequency can be detected, and the blank that no mechanism for detecting the desynchronization of the terminal frequency exists in the prior art is made up, so that the reason for reducing the voice quality or dropping the call of the terminal can be analyzed.
It should be noted that the above method may be performed by a base station or a base station control device.
Further, after it is determined that the terminal has a frequency out-of-step phenomenon, the reference frequency of the terminal may be adjusted, so that the reference frequency of the terminal may be synchronized with the reference frequency of the network side, another embodiment of the present invention provides a communication method using frequency offset, as shown in fig. 2, the method may include:
s201, demodulating an uplink signal sent by a terminal, and acquiring a first frequency deviation between a carrier frequency of the uplink signal of the terminal and a reference frequency of a network side;
s202, judging whether the first frequency deviation meets a preset out-of-step condition or not, and if the first frequency deviation meets the preset out-of-step condition, confirming that the terminal has frequency out-of-step;
the processing manner of S201-S202 may refer to the related description of S101-S102, and is not described herein again. When the terminal out-of-step frequency is detected in S202, S203 is executed.
And S203, adjusting the carrier-to-interference ratio of the downlink signal.
The adjustment of the carrier-to-interference ratio may be controlled by the base station control device or the base station.
The frequency loss may be caused by too low carrier-to-interference ratio or too high carrier-to-interference ratio, so adjusting the carrier-to-interference ratio of the downlink signal may be to increase the carrier-to-interference ratio or to decrease the carrier-to-interference ratio. When determining whether to increase or decrease the carrier-to-interference ratio, an attempt may be made, for example, to gradually increase the carrier-to-interference ratio, monitor whether the frequency step-out phenomenon of the terminal has disappeared within a period of time or determine whether the frequency step-out phenomenon of the terminal has disappeared when the carrier-to-interference ratio has increased to a certain value (for example, 0dB), and if the frequency step-out phenomenon of the terminal has not disappeared within a period of time or when the carrier-to-interference ratio has increased to a certain value, which may mean that the direction of adjusting the carrier-to-interference ratio is wrong, adjust the carrier-to-interference ratio in the opposite direction. It should be noted that, in most cases, the carrier-to-interference ratio may be too low to cause frequency step-out, so that an attempt to increase the carrier-to-interference ratio may be made when attempting to adjust the carrier-to-interference ratio.
The method for improving the carrier-to-interference ratio of the downlink signal may be:
increasing the power of the signal sent to the terminal; or reducing the power of a signal that causes interference to the terminal; or the terminal is switched to another channel with better carrier-to-interference ratio (i.e. the channel with the carrier-to-interference ratio higher than that of the channel in which the terminal is currently located). The above methods can be used alone or in combination. The signal interfering with the terminal may be a signal of another terminal in the own cell or a signal of a terminal in an adjacent cell. In addition, in the situation of the VAMOS technology, the signal that the terminal generates interference is mainly other terminals that multiplex the same channel; while the other channel with better carrier-to-interference ratio is generally other independent non-multiplexed channel
The method for reducing the carrier-to-interference ratio of the downlink signal may be:
reducing the power of a signal sent to the terminal; or increasing the power of a signal that causes interference to the terminal; or the terminal is switched to another channel with lower carrier-to-interference ratio (i.e. a channel with a carrier-to-interference ratio lower than that of the channel in which the terminal is currently located). In addition, for the VAMOS technology scenario, the signal that the terminal generates interference is mainly the other terminal that multiplexes the same channel.
S204, acquiring a second frequency deviation between the carrier frequency of the uplink signal of the terminal and the reference frequency of the network side, and determining whether the frequency desynchronization of the terminal is eliminated or not according to the second frequency deviation and a preset synchronization condition.
The network side can continuously monitor a second frequency deviation between the carrier frequency of the uplink signal of the terminal and the reference frequency of the network side after the carrier-to-interference ratio is adjusted, judge whether the frequency desynchronization of the terminal is eliminated or not according to the second frequency deviation and a preset synchronization condition, and confirm that the frequency desynchronization of the terminal is eliminated if the second frequency deviation meets the preset synchronization condition.
Wherein, the preset synchronization condition may include:
the absolute value of the second frequency deviation is smaller than a preset threshold (it should be noted that, in the case that the absolute value of the second frequency deviation is equal to the preset threshold, the synchronization condition may also be considered to be satisfied); and/or the presence of a gas in the gas,
when the pre-stored variation characteristic information is information representing frequency offset variation characteristics caused by terminal frequency desynchronization, a correlation coefficient between the variation characteristic of the second frequency deviation and the pre-stored variation characteristic information is smaller than a preset first correlation threshold (it should be noted that, in the case that the second frequency deviation is equal to the first correlation threshold, the synchronization condition may also be considered to be satisfied); when the pre-stored variation characteristic information is information representing a variation characteristic of frequency offset caused by movement of the terminal, a correlation coefficient between the variation characteristic of the second frequency deviation and the pre-stored variation characteristic information is greater than a preset second correlation threshold (it should be noted that, in the case where the second frequency deviation is equal to the second correlation threshold, it may also be considered that a synchronization condition is satisfied); and/or the presence of a gas in the gas,
if the base station is located in the area range where the terminal does not move at a high speed, the second frequency deviation is within the allowable error range; if the base station is located in the area where the terminal moves at a high speed, the absolute value of the second frequency deviation is smaller than the preset threshold (it should be noted that, in the case where the absolute value of the second frequency deviation is equal to the preset threshold, the synchronization condition may also be considered to be satisfied).
If the frequency step-out of the terminal is not eliminated, the carrier-to-interference ratio can be further continuously adjusted and whether the frequency step-out is eliminated or not can be judged until the frequency step-out of the terminal is eliminated.
In the method of the embodiment, after the frequency of the terminal is determined to be out of step, the reference frequency of the terminal is adjusted by adjusting the carrier-to-interference ratio of the downlink signal, so that the voice quality can be prevented from being reduced or the terminal is prevented from being dropped as much as possible.
An embodiment of the present invention further provides a communication apparatus using frequency offset, as shown in fig. 3, the apparatus may include:

after receiving the uplink signal sent by the terminal, the network side performs demodulation, and the specific demodulation mode is basically the same as the mode in the prior art, and is not described here again. When demodulating the uplink signal, the network side may obtain, through a frequency offset estimation algorithm, a first frequency offset between a carrier frequency of the uplink signal of the terminal and a reference frequency of the network side.

The preset out-of-step condition here may include: the absolute value of the first frequency deviation is larger than a preset threshold value; and/or the variation characteristic of the first frequency deviation meets a preset variation characteristic; and/or if the base station is located in the area range where the terminal does not move at a high speed, the first frequency deviation exceeds an allowable error range, and if the base station is located in the area range where the terminal moves at a high speed, the absolute value of the first frequency deviation is greater than a preset threshold value.
The manner of determining whether the acquired first frequency deviation satisfies the predetermined out-of-step condition may refer to the related description in the foregoing method embodiment, and is not described herein again.

there are also various ways to reduce the carrier-to-interference ratio of the downlink signal: reducing the power of a downlink signal sent to a terminal; or the power of a downlink signal which generates interference to the terminal is increased; or switching the terminal to a channel with carrier-to-interference ratio lower than that of the channel in which the terminal is currently positioned. Reference may be specifically made to the related description in the embodiment shown in fig. 2, and details are not repeated here.
The network side may continue to monitor the first frequency deviation between the carrier frequency of the uplink signal of the terminal and the reference frequency of the network side after adjusting the carrier-to-interference ratio, and then the communication device using the frequency offset in this embodiment may further include: a decision block 404;

If the second frequency deviation does not satisfy the preset synchronization condition, the carrier-to-interference ratio of the downlink signal may be continuously adjusted by the adjusting module 403. The preset synchronization conditions may include:
the absolute value of the second frequency deviation is less than or equal to a preset threshold value; and/or the presence of a gas in the gas,
when the pre-stored change characteristic information is information representing frequency offset change characteristics caused by terminal frequency desynchronization, the correlation coefficient of the change characteristics of the second frequency deviation and the pre-stored change characteristic information is smaller than a preset first correlation threshold; when the pre-stored change characteristic information is information representing frequency offset change characteristics caused by terminal movement, the correlation coefficient of the change characteristics of the second frequency offset and the pre-stored change characteristic information is greater than a preset second correlation threshold; and/or the presence of a gas in the gas,
if the base station is located in the area range where the terminal does not move at a high speed, the second frequency deviation is within the allowable error range; if the base station is located in the area where the terminal moves at a high speed, the absolute value of the second frequency deviation is less than or equal to a preset threshold.
