Embodiment
To the problem that exists in the prior art, a kind of new interference coordination schemes is proposed among the present invention.
In the existing LTE system, PDCCH capable of using comes to UE transmission basic control information, like schedule information or authorization message etc.; After in the LTE-A system, introducing relaying, hope can further utilize PDCCH to come for relaying carries out resource allocation, but can there be certain problem in processing like this: in the LTE-A system; The base station can be sent information such as scheduling to grand UE, and relaying also can send information such as scheduling to R-UE, and relaying can not receive in transmit status; So; If when information was sent to relaying in the base station, relaying was in transmit status just, relaying then can not correctly receive the information from the base station so.Specifically, for a relaying, whether it can receive the transmission plan that PDCCH depends on return link from the base station; As shown in Figure 2, when return link uses the fake-MBSFN subframe to transmit, because relaying needs transmitting control channel information to give R-UE; Therefore; Relaying may be monitored less than the PDCCH from the base station, therefore, utilizes PDCCH will become infeasible for the thought of relay distribution resource.For this reason, introduce relaying Physical Downlink Control Channel (R-PDCCH) in the LTE-A system, be used for being effectively the relay distribution resource.
In addition, in practical application, can adopt semi-static or dynamic Resource Allocation Formula.On the resource that is a certain relay distribution; Control channel can comprise the L1/L2 control information; As mix automatic repeat requests (HAQR) and confirm/negative (ACK/NACK), CQI (CQI)/precoding matrix indicators (PMI) feedback (feedback), and scheduling and authorization message etc.These control informations can be carried out multiplexingly, as shown in Figure 3 with the passback data with Time Division Multiplexing or frequency division multiplexing (FDM) or TDM and FDM mode, Fig. 3 is for having the multiplex mode sketch map now; Perhaps, these control informations also can be carried out the combined coding modulation with the passback data attached on the passback data.
In the scheme according to the invention; Through in R-PDCCH, increasing certain control information; The combined coding modulation is carried out to the control information of the relaying that I-UE is caused interference in the schedule information and the base station that are about to I-UE, and in R-PDCCH, sends to relaying together, like this; Relaying can distribute the running time-frequency resource orthogonal time frequency resources of using with I-UE on the access link of self, thereby realizes interference coordination.
For making the object of the invention, technical scheme and advantage clearer, below with reference to the accompanying drawing embodiment that develops simultaneously, the present invention is done to specify further.
Fig. 4 is the flow chart of disturbance coordination method embodiment of the present invention.Suppose in the present embodiment that relaying and base station are the distributed scheduling relation, do not receive base stations control when promptly relaying is dispatched the R-UE under oneself controlling, the grand UE under the base stations control can be made interference coordination by other relaying under the base stations control simultaneously.As shown in Figure 4, may further comprise the steps:
Step 41:UE to base station feedback from as the I-UE of a certain relaying.
Before this step, UE need judge at first whether self is I-UE.In the present embodiment; Definition is positioned at (out of the relay coverage area) outside the relaying coverage; Promptly be positioned at the coverage of base station; And the UE at the edge (near the edge of the relay coverage area) of contiguous relaying coverage is I-UE; Concrete judgment mode is: UE confirms self to be within the coverage of base station, and receive from signal of base station intensity Pbs with receive from the difference of the signal strength signal intensity Prs of relaying greater than zero and less than predefined first threshold, then confirm from I-UE as this relaying.
Concrete feedback system can be decided according to the actual requirements, and main both sides consult, and can both discern to get final product, and follow-up analogue repeats no more.
Step 42: the base station increases the schedule information of I-UE in being directed against the R-PDCCH of this relaying, and R-PDCCH is sent to this relaying.
In the present embodiment, said schedule information can comprise: the running time-frequency resource that the sign of I-UE (ID) and I-UE use, as in certain subframe with the frequency resource of using (frequency subchannels) etc.
Wherein, the base station is carried out the combined coding modulation with schedule information and the base station of I-UE to the control information of this relaying.It is known in this field how to realize that combined coding is modulated to, and repeats no more.
Step 43: this relaying distributes the running time-frequency resource orthogonal time frequency resources of using with I-UE according to the schedule information that receives on the access link of self, to realize interference coordination.
In this step, the corresponding subframe (subframe that I-UE use) of relaying on the access link of self goes up distributes different frequency resources, with the frequency resource quadrature that guarantees to use with I-UE, thereby avoids interference.

For the up-downgoing access link, all can adopt processing mode shown in Figure 4.
In addition, introduced joint transmission (CoMP) service in the LTE-A system, usually, the UE that adopts the CoMP service has been called C-UE, the UE that does not adopt the CoMP service has been called common UE (N-UE).In practical application, can the combined coding modulation be carried out to the control information of relaying in schedule information and the base station of C-UE, in R-PDCCH, send to relaying together, like this, relaying can obtain the schedule information of C-UE; Simultaneously, the base station can sent to C-UE in the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) of data, and the ID of relaying is arranged in the destination address tabulation; Like this; Relaying both can obtain the schedule information of C-UE, can obtain the data message of C-UE again, thereby accomplished the CoMP service to C-UE with the base station.
