Description

The synchronous method of a kind of Home eNodeB HeNB, system and equipment
Technical field
The present invention relates to communication field, relate in particular to synchronous method, system and the equipment of a kind of Home eNodeB HeNB.
Background technology
In mobile communications network, along with the requirement to data speed and covering of growing communication, traditional provides the method for access can not meet the demands with macro base station.At present, adopt cell splitting and in hot zones or some lower powered base stations of indoor deployment such as Home (Home eNodeB), Pico (small base station), Femto (femto cell), Relay (relay station) etc. can be good at addressing this problem.These lower powered base stations are applicable to can make operator provide and have more high data rate and business more cheaply under family's indoor environment, working environment or other little overlay environment.
To TDD (Time Division Duplexing, time division duplex) system, how to guarantee being synchronously an important problem between HeNB (Home eNodeB, Home eNodeB).High-precision synchronization scenario can guarantee the stable effectively operation of communication system, can also reduce the interference to existing macro base station.HeNB needs to register after start and synchronous process, and keeps synchronously, could provide service smoothly for user terminal.So on the basis of multilayer (multi-hop) synchronization scenario, hope can be kept synchronous under the prerequisite that guarantees synchronization accuracy as much as possible, shortens the out of alignment time of HeNB.
Synchronous for HeNB puts forward following several method in prior art:
(1) user terminal assist in synchronization: in the method, user terminal is especially at the user terminal of overlapping region, measure frequently and information reporting, keep synchronous between the base station, this scheme can realize distributed control, but the power consumption of the signaling consumption of network and user terminal all can be very large, and efficient is lower.
(2) GPS (Global Positioning System, global positioning system) is synchronous: in the method, setting up synchronous between the base station by GPS, is the most frequently used method that keeps at present synchronous between macro base station, and synchronous precision is very high.Its shortcoming is: synchronously easily be subject to the impact of satellite-signal power, weather and landform, and need equipment GPS receiver, realize that cost is higher, is not suitable for home base station network.
(3) synchronization among base stations: in the method, realize mutual synchronous by the monitoring mechanism between the base station, be that certain base station can keep synchronous by the monitoring another one CRS of synchronising base station (CommonReference Signal, public reference signal) signal.For Home eNodeB, Home eNodeB can be undertaken synchronously by the signal of macro base station around monitoring, if there is no adjacent macro base station, can monitor on every side that the signal of other synchronous Home eNodeB carries out synchronously, is a kind of synchronization mechanism of layering.
At present, the scheme of above-mentioned synchronization among base stations is extensively approved at present, is also relatively most suitable a kind of synchronization scenario concerning Home eNodeB.Consider the impact of the factors such as communication environments, network topology, for the Home eNodeB that can't directly receive the macro base station signal, can utilize the synchronous method of multilayer (multi-hop).Take networking structure shown in Figure 1 as example, HeNB1 is synchronizeed with macro base station, and HeNB2 can be undertaken synchronously by HeNB1.Defining Sync eNB in Fig. 1 (synchronous target BS) is layer 0, and the base station of utilization layer 0 is carried out synchronous base station and is layer 1 (HeNB1), and the base station of utilization layer 1 is carried out synchronous base station and is layer 2 (HeNB2), the like.
The base station of every one deck need to send the information about layer, and at present, the base station will send the number of plies (2 bit) of this base station and the information (1 bit) of whether synchronizeing with eNB.These information can: transmit in the MIB (MasterInformation Block, host system message block); Perhaps transmit in SIB1 (System InformationBlock, system information block 1); Perhaps giving lower one deck base station configuration MBSFN (MulticastBroadcast Single Frequency Network, Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network) subframe to carry out synchronous subframe transmission of monitoring.Simultaneously, webmaster issues the configuration about the synchronous subframe of every one deck.For fear of the impact for user terminal, these synchronous subframes realize by the mode of configuration MBSFN.
HeNB first registers after start, then the signal of adjacent base station around searching for, system information by reading adjacent base station on every side or monitor layer information (2bit) and the synchronizing information (1bit) that the MBSFN subframe is obtained respective base station, according to around the layer information of all adjacent base stations, HeNB can select number of plies minimum base station to carry out synchronously as the object synchronization base station.
Problems of the prior art are: for mutually monitoring the synchronous scheme that realizes between the base station, HeNB need to be after the layer information of obtaining one by one each adjacent base station and synchronizing information, by relatively obtaining the number of plies minimum adjacent base station (number of plies=N), and carry out with it synchronous, this moment this base station number of plies=N+1.Be used for keeping this synchronous base station signal if has lost the base station, synchronously can not continue to keep, need to upgrade synchronising base station.In view of network environment becomes increasingly complex, if the adjacent area quantity of HeNB is more, the existing synchronizing information that travels through adjacent base station by eating dishes without rice or wine can expend a large amount of time and electric weight, causes the HeNB out of alignment time long, has a strong impact on user's impression.
