Embodiment
The inventor is noticing in the invention process: for monitoring the prior art that the synchronous scheme of realization is representative between with the base station of the said firm mutually, all base stations all will obtain the situation of the MBSFN sub-frame configuration of the different layers that network management configuration gets off, and the base station is done synchronous monitoring or mourn in silence on subframe accordingly according to the own number of plies then.The deficiency that this scheme of the said firm exists is not fully take into account LTE-R10 (version 10) and introduces the variation that brings behind the new network element, mainly shows:
At first, the synchronization mechanism of LTE-R10 introducing network element may be different.Need this moment the indication current network to use which kind of synchronization mechanism.
Secondly, the new network element of introducing may need dynamic-configuration MBSFN information, need realize backhaul (back haul link) interface by configuration MBSFN such as relay (relaying).Accordingly, the synchronous sub-frame configuration that webmaster issues need be upgraded according to the dynamic adjustment of MBSFN, needs design relevant information interaction flow.
In addition, mourning in silence in the position that the said firm's scheme requires last layer to be disposed for synchronous MBSFN, and after newly introducing network element, may need not mourn in silence entirely in the MBSFN position than bottom, therefore, handles after need being distinguished this situation.

In this step, the configuration information of the 2nd MBSFN subframe is that current each layer is used for synchronous MBSFN subframe configuration information.
Step 302, base station determine whether a MBSFN sub-frame configuration changes;
In this step, the configuration information of a MBSFN subframe is a base station own service MBSFN sub-frame configuration.
Step 303, when determining that in the base station MBSFN sub-frame configuration changes, give webmaster in the change with a MBSFN sub-frame configuration, or, when determining that in the base station MBSFN sub-frame configuration change can influence the 2nd MBSFN subframe at sync bit place, give webmaster in the change with a MBSFN sub-frame configuration, or, determine that in the base station MBSFN sub-frame configuration changes in the time of can not influencing the 2nd MBSFN subframe at sync bit place, professional MBSFN configuration is adjusted in base station oneself;

Describe with the implementation process that adds communication network after the start of base station more below, in the flow process of superincumbent Fig. 3, describe be the base station in keeping synchronously to dynamic-configuration MBSFN information processing, then be that the base station is the implementation of object with a new network element that adds network in the flow process below.
Then, carry out synchronously on the sync bit of base station in the configuration information of the 2nd MBSFN subframe before, can further include:
The configuration information of the 2nd MBSFN subframe that base station start back reception webmaster issues;
Synchronous synchronization mechanism is carried out in base station selected selection.For example, the base station can select the highest synchronization mechanism of precision to carry out synchronously, and at this moment it can judge whether oneself exists high accuracy synchronization mechanisms such as GPS, if exist, then can select these synchronization mechanisms to carry out synchronously.
Because the base station can select synchronization mechanism,, also can determine current network and should use which kind of synchronization mechanism even therefore after adopting LTE-R10 to introduce the different synchronization mechanism of network element.
Concrete, when the 2nd MBSFN subframe configuration information that base station start back reception webmaster issues, the form that this configuration information issues can comprise:
The agreement different layers is all uploaded in same subframe, and the synchronous subframe of different layers is distinguished with the diverse location of a MBSFN in the cycle, and the information of transmission is the positional information of subframe numbers, each layer;
Or the agreement different layers is all uploaded in same subframe, and layer n disposes MBSFN on the position of SFN mod (M*N)=n, and the size of M was provided with according to the update cycle; Wherein, what N represented is always total how many layers, and what M characterized is the cycle of upgrading.SFN mod x is meant of System Frame Number (SFN:systemframe number) x to be made and gets surplus operation.
Or, the subframe numbers and the positional information of indication different layers;
When the base station carries out can comprising when synchronous according to the synchronization mechanism of its selection:
Read the layer information and the synchronous regime of last layer base station and carry out initial synchronisation, or, carry out initial synchronisation according to the agreement flow process;
After initial synchronisation is finished, keep synchronously by the CRS of monitoring monitoring last layer base station on the sync bit of gateway configuration or by the agreement flow process.
In concrete the enforcement, when the layer information that reads the last layer base station and Synchronization Status Message are selected synchronisation source, can be: when synchronisation source is in synchronous regime, as synchronous target, and after setting up synchronously, oneself state is designated as synchronously with the strongest one of signal in the synchronous synchronisation source; When not having synchronisation source to be in synchronous regime, from all synchronisation sources, select a strongest synchronous target of conduct of signal, and after setting up synchronously, oneself state is designated as step-out.
An initiate base station has just entered the synchronous regime in the step 301 through after the above-mentioned steps, and this this moment is in order to allow down the base station of one deck carry out synchronously, the base station also needs itself layer information and synchronizing information are sent, therefore, after keeping synchronously, can further include:
The base station of the downward one deck in base station sends the layer information and the synchronizing information of base station.
In the enforcement, when sending the layer information of base station and synchronizing information in the base station of the downward one deck in base station, the layer information and the synchronizing information of the transmission base station, base station of the downward one deck in base station comprise:
The base station is pbs layer information and synchronizing information in MIB or SIB;
Or the base station is used to monitor the subframe position transmission layer information and the synchronizing information of synchronizing information in following one deck base station.
In concrete the enforcement, can use at least 3 bits to come marker information;
Or, increasing new mark domain, described mark domain is used to indicate the type of base station.
Mourn in silence in the position that the said firm's scheme requires last layer to be disposed for synchronous MBSFN, and after newly introducing network element, may need not mourn in silence entirely in MBSFN position than bottom, therefore, in order to address this problem, handle after this situation distinguished, specifically when using at least 3 bits to come marker information, can further include:
To use identical synchronization mechanism and not use the base station configuration of monitoring this synchronization mechanism between the base station to same one deck, as the relay base station.
Also will describe below.
In above-mentioned enforcement, the base station can be a low power base station.Concrete, the base station can be the family base station in the low power base station, or Pico cell formula base station, or femtocell formula base station, or the midsequent base station.
Embodiment for a better understanding of the present invention will add communication network since a low power base station start back below and come the Synchronous Processing implementation process of a base station is described.
Fig. 4 is a low power base station synchronization implementation schematic flow sheet, as shown in the figure, can comprise the steps:
Step 401, low power base station start.
Step 402, obtain each layer sync bit information by network management interface.
In this step, the base station of newly starting shooting receives network management configuration information, comprises the configuring condition that is used for synchronous MBSFN subframe of each layer in this information.
Step 403, the selected synchronization mechanism of judgement if select the synchronization mechanism of other degree of precision, change step 405 over to, need obtain synchronizing information or carry out changing step 404 over to synchronously according to agreement if select.
In this step, new base station judges whether oneself exists high accuracy synchronization mechanisms such as GPS, if having, directly enters step 405, if do not have, then needs by eating dishes without rice or wine, and the interface of support obtains synchronizing information, enters step 404a; Perhaps, carry out entering step 404b synchronously according to the corresponding protocol flow process.
Step 404a, reading layer information and synchronous regime are carried out initial synchronisation.
Step 404b, carry out initial synchronisation according to the agreement flow process.
In this step, new base station can supply the synchronisation source of monitoring by the step search of carrying out similar terminal cell initial search, and sets up synchronously with it.New obtain the relevant information of synchronisation source, comprise the layer information of synchronisation source and whether synchronous information by air interface or supported interface (as X2 interface).In this stage, new base station may obtain one group and can supply synchronous synchronisation source, need therefrom select the node of an optimum to carry out synchronously.The criterion of selecting can for: when synchronisation source is in synchronous regime, as synchronous target, and after setting up synchronously, oneself state is designated as synchronously with the strongest one of signal in the synchronous synchronisation source; When not having synchronisation source to be in synchronous regime, from all synchronisation sources, to select a strongest synchronous target of conduct of signal, and after setting up synchronously, oneself state is designated as step-out, the purpose that is designated as step-out is for fear of error propagation.
In step 404a, if this base station is the new network element that R10 or other system introduce, can carry out synchronously according to the corresponding protocol flow process, such as for relay, can be undertaken synchronously by the Backhaul subframe of configuration.
Step 405, maintenance synchronously.
In this step, after finishing initial synchronisation, need to keep synchronously, specifically can be by monitoring CRS or keeping synchronously by the agreement flow process.
Information with oneself after step 406, the operate as normal sends to down one deck by eating dishes without rice or wine.
In this step,, need own layer information and synchronizing information sent in order to allow down the base station of one deck carry out synchronously.This information can be by broadcasting in MIB or SIB, also can send by the subframe position that is used to monitor synchronizing information in one deck base station down.
Step 407, judge whether need to change the MBSFN configuration,, otherwise change step 405 over to if then change step 408 over to.
In this step, whether the MBSFN sub-frame configuration when judging this base station operate as normal changes, if indeclinable words are then got back to step 405 and kept synchronously.If change, then change step 408 over to.
Step 408, base station need to judge whether webmaster to assist, and are then to change step 410 over to, otherwise change step 409 over to.
In this step,, then after changing step 408 over to, two kinds of schemes can be arranged if in step 407, change:
A kind of is that direct configuration variation MBSFN in the step 410 is submitted to webmaster, is handled by webmaster,, judges by webmaster whether this variation can influence the subframe at sync bit place that is;
A kind of is that the base station that is changed by MBSFN configuration in the step 409 is at first judged see whether the variation of MBSFN can influence the subframe at sync bit place, if do not influence then directly enter step 413, self adjusts the base station.If influence is then submitted to webmaster and handled, enter step 411.
In addition, step 408 is optional steps in the enforcement, and promptly the base station need also can judge whether webmaster to assist, but directly changes step 410 over to, is implemented by webmaster, perhaps directly changes step 409 over to and is implemented voluntarily by the base station.
Step 409, base station judge that whether this variation can influence the subframe at sync bit place, is then to enter step 411, otherwise enters step 413;
Step 410, webmaster judge that whether this variation can influence the subframe at sync bit place, is then to enter step 411, otherwise enters step 413;
In step 409 and 410, when webmaster is submitted in the change of MBSFN sub-frame configuration of self, can handle accordingly by giving webmaster on the network management interface.
Step 411, webmaster are adjusted accordingly.
In this step, webmaster can reconfigure the sync bit of each layer according to the sub-frame configuration situation of change of the MBSFN that submits, redistributes and can carry out according to certain principle, and the subframe that has been sync bit such as preferential maintenance is new sync bit.
Step 412, webmaster are handed down to the base station with the sync bit that upgrades.
In this step, webmaster is handed down to new synchronous configuration information the base station of each layer.
The corresponding adjustment done in step 413, base station.
In this step, carry out synchronously on the sync bit that upgrades the base station.
In concrete the enforcement, three kinds of execution modes can be arranged at step 402:
1, the agreement different layers is all uploaded in same subframe, and the synchronous subframe of different layers is distinguished with the diverse location of a MBSFN in the cycle, and the information of transmission is the positional information of subframe numbers, each layer;
2, the agreement different layers is all uploaded in same subframe, and layer n disposes MBSFN on the position of SFN mod (M*N)=n, like this, the information that needs to transmit just is reduced to subframe numbers, M, the size of M can be provided with according to the update cycle, and the update cycle is more little, and M is more little;
3, directly indicate the subframe numbers and the positional information of different layers.
In concrete the enforcement, two kinds of execution modes can be arranged at step 406:
That is, after introducing new network element, new net element information can be notified by following method:
1, the layer information of 2 bits is expanded to 3 bits.
In this mode, the layer information of 3 bits can be supported 8 layers base station at most, can support more eurypalynous new network element node; Simultaneously, for the situation of the subframe waste of mourning in silence that may occur, can on fixing layer, solve by fixing some special base station, such as, as shown in the table, fixedly the relay base station is layer 1 (001) expression, and like this, finding to follow the tracks of synchronous base station when the synchronous base station of needs is layer 1, this base station just knows that following the tracks of synchronous base station is the relay base station, mourn in silence with regard to not carrying out synchronous subframe in the lower level base station in this base station so, can send data normally, saved resource.
