A kind of information interacting method that the embodiment of the invention two proposes, this method is applicable in the network architecture after introducing RN, a kind of RN network architecture afterwards of in the LTE-A system, introducing as shown in Figure 2, wherein, RN is linked into core net by the donor under the eNB (service) cell (sub-district); Need to prove, RN is as the via node under the eNB, can regard the sub-district under this eNB as, for this RN, this eNB is DeNB (donor enhanced Node B, service enhancement mode Node B), interface between this DeNB and the RN is wireless Un mouth, wherein, does not have direct wave point between this RN and the core net, each RN can control one or more sub-districts, and each eNB can control and manage one or more RN.In the embodiment of the invention, need set up the X2 interface between RN and the DeNB, and do not need X2 interface between RN and other eNB (all eNB except this DeNB), the X2 interface of this foundation is based on that as shown in Figure 3 the protocol stack architecture that comprises RN creates, and this protocol stack architecture is the chain of command protocol stack between RN, RN and DeNB and RN and other eNB.In the embodiment of the invention, the X2 interface between above-mentioned RN of foundation and the DeNB is based on X2-AP (Application Protocol, the application layer protocol) function that RN and DeNB all support the LTE system; And when RN does not support X2-AP function under the LTE system, then only need set up the S1 interface between RN and the DeNB.In the embodiment of the invention, be that example describes with the X2 interface of setting up between RN and the DeNB.As shown in Figure 4, above-mentioned information interacting method may further comprise the steps:
Step 401, RN sends LOAD (load) INFORMATION (notice) message to DeNB, and this LOAD INFORMATION message format is as shown in table 1.Wherein, above-mentioned process of transmitting is based on RN and supports self and adjacent minizone (having X2 interface between this neighbour sub-district and this RN) can transmit information on load or carry out when transmitting interfere information.Wherein, set up X2 interface between this RN and this DeNB, the process of transmitting of this LOAD INFORMATION message is based on the protocol stack of X2-AP.
Table 1
Need to prove, and exist the adjacent sub-district of X2 interface can be the adjacent sub-district under the DeNB control between this RN, also can be the adjacent sub-district under other eNB controls.Comprising adjacent sub-district 1, adjacent sub-district 2 and adjacent sub-district 3 with adjacent sub-district in the embodiment of the invention is that example describes, this neighbour sub-district 1 is the adjacent sub-district under the DeNB control, this neighbour sub-district 2 is the adjacent sub-district under the DeNB control RN, and this neighbour sub-district 3 is the adjacent sub-district under other eNB controls.
Step 402, DeNB resolves Target Cell ID (Target Cell Identifier) field among this LOAD INFORMATION message Cell Information (cell information).Wherein, this DeNB can directly obtain the content in the TargetCell id field among this Cell Information when receiving LOAD INFORMATION message, and promptly DeNB directly obtains the information of Target cell.This Target Cell id field is a cell identification field.
Step 403, DeNB handles this LOADINFORMATION message according to the content of the Target Cell id field that this obtains.
Wherein, this processing procedure specifically comprises: (1) represents the information of Target cell when Target Cell id field is that Target cell is that DeNB is directly during the sub-district of management, this DeNB only need store the information of this Target cell, do not need to re-assembly LOAD INFORMATION message, identical with the treatment mechanism of existing LTE system.For example, in the embodiment of the invention, because adjacent sub-district 1 is the adjacent sub-district under the DeNB control, be that Target cell 1 (adjacent sub-district 1) is the directly sub-district of management of DeNB, when having carried the information of adjacent sub-district 1 in the Target Cell id field, this DeNB only need store the information of adjacent sub-district 1, does not repeat them here.
(2) representing the information of Target cell when Target Cell id field is that Target cell is when belonging to sub-district under the RN of DeNB management, this DeNB will belong to the information sets of the sub-district under the same RN and dress up suitable LOAD INFORMATION message, and according to the mapping relations of the wireless Un mouth between this RN and the DeNB, the LOAD INFORMATION message after will assembling on the corresponding Un interface sends under the correct target RN.For example, in the embodiment of the invention, because adjacent sub-district 2 is for (this RN is different from the RN of the initial LOAD INFORMATION of above-mentioned transmission message under the DeNB control RN, with RN 1 is that example describes) adjacent sub-district, be that Target cell 2 (adjacent sub-district 2) is sub-district among the RN 1 under the DeNB management, LOAD INFORMATION message after DeNB will assemble by the Un mouth (all have the Un mouth between each RN and the DeNB, the two can carry out the reciprocal process of data by using this Un mouth) between this RN 1 of use and the DeNB sends to this RN 1.Wherein, this assembling process is specially: when DeNB has carried the information of adjacent sub-district 1, adjacent sub-district 2 and adjacent sub-district 3 in knowing Target Cell id field, owing to have only adjacent sub-district 2 to be the adjacent sub-district under the DeNB control RN, information about adjacent sub-district 1 and adjacent sub-district 3 in the LOAD INFORMATION message before then DeNB only needs to assemble is removed, or extract in the LOAD INFORMATION message before the assembling about the information of adjacent sub-district 2, the LOAD INFORMATION message after just can obtaining to assemble.
(3) representing the information of Target cell when Target Cell id field is that Target cell belongs to the sub-district under other eNB, or Target cell is when belonging to sub-district under the RN of other eNB management, this DeNB will belong to the information sets of the sub-district under the same eNB and dress up suitable LOAD INFORMATION message, and according to the mapping relations of the X2 interface between these other eNB (is that example describes with eNB 1) and the DeNB, the LOAD INFORMATION message after will assembling on the corresponding X2 interface sends on the correct target eNB.For example, in the embodiment of the invention, because adjacent sub-district 3 is the adjacent sub-district under the eNB 1, (all there is X2 interface in DeNB between per 2 eNB by using the X2 interface between this eNB 1 and this DeNB, being all to have X2 interface between DeNB and other each eNB, can carrying out the reciprocal process of data between two eNB by X2 interface) LOADINFORMATION message after will assembling sends to this eNB 1.Wherein, this assembling process is specially: when DeNB has carried the information of adjacent sub-district 1, adjacent sub-district 2 and adjacent sub-district 3 in knowing Target Cell id field, owing to have only adjacent sub-district 3 to be the adjacent sub-district under the eNB 1, information about adjacent sub-district 1 and adjacent sub-district 2 in the LOADINFORMATION message before then DeNB only needs to assemble is removed, or extract in the LOAD INFORMATION message before the assembling about the information of adjacent sub-district 3, the LOAD INFORMATION message after just can obtaining to assemble.
In the embodiment of the invention, eNB 1 is after receiving from the LOADINFORMATION message after the assembling of this DeNB, if eNB 1 is known when Target Cell id field represents that Target cell is the sub-district of eNB 1 direct management, 1 information that needs this Target cell of storage of this eNB; If eNB 1 is known when Target Cell id field represents that Target cell is sub-district under the RN of eNB 1 management, this eNB1 will belong to the information sets of the sub-district under this RN and dress up suitable LOAD INFORMATION message, and according to the mapping relations of the wireless Un mouth between this RN and the eNB 1, LOAD INFORMATION message after will assembling on the corresponding Un interface sends under the correct target RN, this process is described at said process, does not repeat them here.
Certainly, in the embodiment of the invention, this DeNB is knowing that Target cell belongs to the sub-district under other eNB, or Target cell is when belonging to sub-district under the RN of other eNB management, this DeNB also can not assemble LOAD INFORMATION message, directly this LOAD INFORMATION message is sent to corresponding eNB by corresponding X2 interface, resolve this LOADINFORMATION message by this corresponding eNB, when Target Cell id field in this LOAD INFORMATION message represents that Target cell is the sub-district of the direct management of this corresponding eNB, process according to above-mentioned (1) is handled, when Target Cell id field in this LOAD INFORMATION message represents that Target cell is sub-district under the RN of this corresponding eNB management, process according to above-mentioned (2) is handled, and does not repeat them here.
Wherein, the inventive method can be adjusted each sequence of steps according to actual needs.
In embodiments of the present invention, by the handling process between the above-mentioned steps 401-step 403, promptly can realize the information interaction of LOAD INFORMATION message, and in above-mentioned information interactive process, RN only need and DeNB between set up X2 interface, do not need and other RN, set up X2 interface between other eNB, make that RN is sub-districts under the DeNB for other eNB, from terminated X2 interface between RN and other eNB or the RN of DeNB, reduced the quantity of X2 interface, and alleviated signaling traffic load core net node.
Based on the above embodiments two, a kind of information interacting method that the embodiment of the invention three proposes, this method is applicable to that as shown in Figure 5, above-mentioned information interacting method may further comprise the steps in the network architecture after introducing RN:
Step 501, RN sends RESOURCE (resource) STATUS (state) REQUEST (request) message to DeNB, and this RESOURCE STATUS REQUEST message format is as shown in table 2.Wherein, above-mentioned process of transmitting is based on that RN supports self and adjacent minizone can realize measuring to carry out when disposing.Wherein, if when having set up X2 interface between this RN and this DeNB, the process of transmitting of this RESOURCESTATUS REQUEST message is based on the protocol stack of X2-AP.
Table 2
Step 502, DeNB resolves Cell ID (cell ID) field among this RESOURCE STATUS REQUEST message Cell to Report (cell report).Wherein, this DeNB can directly obtain the content in this Cell id field when receiving RESOURCE STATUS REQUEST message, and promptly DeNB directly obtains the information of Target cell.Wherein, this Cell id field is a cell identification field.
Step 503, DeNB handles this RESOURCESTATUS REQUEST message according to the content of this Cell id field of obtaining.
Wherein, this processing procedure specifically comprises: (1) represents the information of Target cell when the Cell id field is that Target cell is that DeNB is directly during the sub-district of management, this DeNB only need store the information of this Target cell, do not need to revise this RESOURCE STATUS REQUEST message, do not need to revise the eNB1 Measurement id information in this message yet, identical with the treatment mechanism of existing LTE system.
(2) representing the information of Target cell when the Cell id field is that Target cell is when belonging to sub-district under the RN of DeNB management, this DeNB will belong to the information sets of the sub-district under the same RN and dress up suitable R ESOURCE STATUS REQUEST message, and according to the mapping relations of the wireless Un mouth between this RN and the DeNB, the RESOURCE STATUSREQUEST message after will assembling on the corresponding Un interface sends under the correct target RN.This assembling process is specially: DeNB has carried adjacent sub-district 1 in knowing Target Cell id field, during the information of adjacent sub-district 2 and adjacent sub-district 3, owing to have only adjacent sub-district 2 to be the adjacent sub-district under the DeNB control RN (is that the adjacent sub-district that DeNB controls under the RN is that example describes with this neighbour sub-district 2), information about adjacent sub-district 1 and adjacent sub-district 3 in the RESOURCE STATUSREQUEST message before then DeNB only needs to assemble is removed, or extract in the RESOURCE STATUS REQUEST message before the assembling about the information of adjacent sub-district 2, the RESOURCE STATUS REQUEST after just can obtaining to assemble.Need to prove, DeNB also needs to obtain and revise the eNB 1Measurement id information element in the RESOURCE STATUS REQUEST message, to preserve eNB Measurement id information between this RN and the DeNB and the mapping relations of the eNB Measurement ID between this DeNB and other RN, promptly preserve the one-to-one relationship between RN, DeNB and other RN, and other information elements do not need to change in this RESOURCE STATUS REQUEST message.For example, RN 1 sends RESOURCE STATUSREQUEST message to DeNB, cell id field represents that Target cell belongs to the sub-district under the RN 2 of DeNB management, then DeNB need store RN 1, mapping relations between DeNB and the RN 2, when DeNB receives RESOURCE STATUS REQUEST message from RN 2, and the Cell id field of this message correspondence is when representing that Target cell belongs to sub-district under the RN 1 of DeNB management, DeNB does not need the RESOURCE STATUS REQUEST message after the assembling is sent to RN 1, thereby avoided the transmission that repeats of message, saved the resource of system.
