Below lift specific embodiment and describe technical scheme of the present invention in detail.
The embodiment of the invention is the characteristics between the sub-district by abundant knot with when having the centralized management entity, have provided a kind of interference mitigation scheme of optimization, are example with the centralized management node eNodeB that exists in the LTE system.
In order to reach the purpose of minizone dynamic interference coordination, the device of the embodiment of the invention mainly comprises: above eNodeB internal interference harmony messages generation/update module, a resource are used restriction strategy transmitting-receiving administrative unit.
Wherein, eNodeB internal interference harmony messages generation/update module comprises three basic processing unit: the acquiring unit of each district dynamic interfere information of inside of base station, mutual resource is used the generation unit of restriction strategy between the base station, information notification unit (comprising that resource is used informing of restricted information between inside of base station dynamic disturbance information, eNodeB).
Here eNodeB internal interference harmony messages comprises the two large divisions: 1) inform load information or resource use restriction strategy to this eNodeB of other eNodeB, as HII, OI, RNTP etc.; 2) the dynamic interference coordination information between inner each sub-district of this eNodeB.Wherein, 2) information interaction periodicity is less than 1), 2) can adopt and eNodeB between mutual identical load information type as interference coordination information, also can design abundant more, accurate more information type and be used for the inside of base station dynamic interference coordination.
The interference coordination information of using between each sub-district of inside of base station can produce/upgrade according to following thinking: pre-estimate each sub-district in the eNodeB to the user of the ICI sensitivity user demand for PRB, in conjunction with the interference level on each PRB, determine the interference coordination information state parameter on each PRB of each sub-district.
The method that the district dynamic interfere information obtains in the inside of base station is as follows:
(1) determines that the user for the presence of intercell interference sensitivity gathers in each sub-district of inside of base station;
(2) estimate that each sub-district of inside of base station belongs to the demand of the UE of interference sensitive users set for the PRB resource in a period of time T;
(3) according to measurement on each PRB or Interference Estimation information, determine the interference level on each PRB, and the PRB that interference level surpasses predefined threshold T H is carried out mark;
(4) according to the number of each sub-district of determining in (2) for the required PRB of user of presence of intercell interference sensitivity, and the interference level that obtains in (3) generates district dynamic interfere information in the inside of base station above the PRB information of predefined threshold value.
In step (1), the user's set for the presence of intercell interference sensitivity in each sub-district of inside of base station can be determined according to following thinking:
(a) Cell Edge User is higher for the sensitivity of presence of intercell interference usually, and Cell Center User is subjected to the presence of intercell interference effect lower basically, therefore Cell Edge User can be included into the user's set for the presence of intercell interference sensitivity.
(b) determination methods of Cell Edge User can be based on one or more of following information: each user's Geometry distributed intelligence in each user's information on path loss, the sub-district in the sub-district, the information that enters/leave certain cell edge that obtains based on the A3 incident of LTE standard definition, or the like;
For (b), it is as follows to judge based on information on path loss whether the user is in the method for cell edge:
(b1) obtain PHR (the Power Headroom Report of UE, power space reports) reporting information, in fact comprise the content of three parts in PHR information: the information on path loss of UE, base station are at RRC (Radio Resource Control) the layer configuration of the scheduling that reports as time PHR and resource allocation information (as giving what PRB of this UE), the base station information to UE;
(b2) for the base station, the base station is at the scheduling and the resource allocation information that report as time PHR, and the configuration of the RRC of base station (Radio Resource Control) layer to give the information of UE all be known, therefore, according to the PHR information that UE reports, the base station can solve the information on path loss of UE;
(b3) after the information on path loss that obtains UE, can judge that this UE is in center of housing estate or is in cell edge by following two kinds of methods:
Method one: will report the information on path loss obtained and predefined threshold T HPL relatively according to the PHR of UE, if the path loss of UE is greater than default threshold T HPL, then this UE is in cell edge; Otherwise this UE is positioned at center of housing estate.
Method two: in a period of time T, obtain the PHR reporting information of each UE in the sub-district, and go out the information on path loss of UE based on the PHR information calculations; Information on path loss with all UE forms CDF (Cumulative Distribution Function then, the cumulative distribution function) curve, (the bent value of x is between 1~99 at the x% of curve, typical case's value is 30 or 10) locate to search corresponding path loss values, count PLref, if the path loss of UE is greater than PLref, then this UE is in cell edge; Otherwise this UE is positioned at center of housing estate.
In step (2), it is as follows for the method for the demand of PRB resource to estimate that interior each sub-district of inside of base station of a period of time T belongs to the UE that disturbs sensitive users to gather:
Determine the timing statistics length T, obtain in each subframe in statistics duration T that all disturb the resource number Nused that sensitive users is on average used in the sub-district;
All disturb the total actual transfer rate SBR of sensitive users to statistics in time period T cabinet sub-district;
The formula of estimating resource demand is:
R wherein
kBe GBR speed, PBR speed or the minimum bit rate of business, all edge customer one total n business.
In step (3), the up-link base station can measure the interference level of each PRB in real time; Downlink system then depends on each PRB is estimated in the base station in the transmission power information of each PRB interference level.
For up-link, the base station can measure the interference level on each PRB voluntarily: can adopt the measuring amount on each PRB of LTE standard definition to receive interference power and receive thermal noise power, and calculate interference level on each PRB based on these two measuring amount.
For downlink system, the interference level on each PRB depends on the transmitting power of base station at each PRB, the i.e. result of each cell downlink power division to a great extent.The normalization target signal to noise ratio that the base station can be distributed by the descending power of adding up each area interference sensitive users and non-sensitive user is respectively determined the interference level on each PRB.
Finish step (2) and (3) according to said method afterwards, in the step (4), just can with and the two is taken all factors into consideration, form district dynamic interfere information in the inside of base station, it mainly comprises for responsive PRB number of resources of presence of intercell interference and positional information, and for insensitive PRB number of resources of presence of intercell interference and positional information.
The resource that is used for inter-station interference coordinating use restriction strategy (as, HII, OI, RNTP even load information) method that produces can determine according to the implication of each load parameter.When resource is used restriction strategy between according to the implication generation base station of each load parameter, need take all factors into consideration the minizone dynamic disturbance information of each sub-district of above-mentioned inside of base station, resource use restriction strategy, the interfere information on each PRB and the traffic load information of Cell Edge User that other base station is informed this base station before.In addition, consider that the cycle of the minizone dynamic disturbance information measurement/renewal of each sub-district of inside of base station uses the update cycle of restriction strategy short than resource between the base station usually, therefore when determining that resource is used restriction strategy between the base station, use be before the minizone dynamic disturbance letter of each sub-district of inside of base station of obtaining in the several times measurement period.
Interference coordination information transmit-receive administration module comprises following processing unit: this base station sends to resource between the eNodeB of other base stations and uses restriction strategy to inform the unit, receives between the eNodeB that other base station resources use restricted informations resource via X2 interface and use the restriction strategy acquiring unit via X2 interface; If inner each the district dynamic interference coordination of eNodeB adopt distributed scheme (as, the processing of each district dynamic interference coordination is finished on different processor or integrated circuit board), then also should comprise inside of base station dynamic interference coordination information transmitting unit, inside of base station dynamic interference coordination information receiving unit.This module is mainly used in carries out resource between each eNodeB by X2 interface and uses the mutual of restricted information, for each sub-district of inside of base station, be centralized for the interference coordination processing mode of each sub-district or distributed resource is used the restricted information transmitting-receiving management can be had two kinds of implementations according to inside of base station:
If an inside of base station sub-district still adopt distributed interference coordination schemes (as, the processing of each district dynamic interference coordination is finished on different processor or integrated circuit board), then need depend on this information transmit-receive administration module equally and carry out the mutual of inside of base station minizone dynamic disturbance information;
If the employing centralized solution (as, the processing of each district dynamic interference coordination is finished on same processor or integrated circuit board), then do not need to carry out the mutual of inside of base station minizone dynamic disturbance information between inner each sub-district of eNodeB by this module.
Between eNodeB/eNodeB internal interference harmony messages processing module comprises following processing unit: information receiving unit (being used to finish resource between the eNodeB that this base station of comprising each district dynamic interfere information of inside of base station produces uses resource between the eNodeB that restriction strategy, other base station produce to use the reception of restriction strategy); The scheduling strategy generation unit of each each Resource Block of sub-district of inside of base station; The scheduling strategy of each each Resource Block of sub-district of inside of base station is informed the unit.Resource is used between the eNodeB that restriction strategy, this eNodeB produce resource to use restriction strategy and is used in this eNodeB between each sub-district the dynamic disturbance information of interference mitigation and takes all factors into consideration between the eNodeB that this module will obtain via X2 interface simultaneously, forms final interference mitigation and makes a strategic decision.The resource that this decision-making is taken all factors into consideration between eBodeB is used the minizone dynamic disturbance information of restriction strategy and eNodeB inside, and it shows as the adjustment for dissimilar users' PRB scheduling strategy.
According to scheduler between interface different, the PRB scheduling strategy of interference coordination message processing module output is difference to some extent:
A) there are two interfaces as if itself and scheduler, one of them interface is used to export resource between eNodeB and uses the adjustment of restricted information to the PRB scheduling strategy, and another interface is used to export between the eNodeB internal zone dynamic disturbance information to the adjustment of each sub-district PRB scheduling strategy.That is:
Interface 1 output considers that resource uses the PRB scheduling strategy of restriction strategy to be between eNodeB:
R
inter_ICIC=f(load_information,location_information,…)
Wherein load_information is meant HII, OI, RNTP even load information, that is resource is used restriction strategy between eNodeB, and location_information is a position area information, as Cell Center User/edge customer information.The output result be that it is the function of the positional information of load information between eNodeB, UE according to the PRB scheduling strategy of definite all kinds of UE such as the positional information of load information, UE between eNB.
Interface 2 outputs consider that the PRB scheduling strategy of eNB internal interference harmony messages is:
P
intra_dynIC=g(dynIC_information,…)
Wherein dynIC_information is the minizone dynamic disturbance information of eNodeB inside, according to the specific design of dynamic interference coordination algorithm, and the information that also may need to determine other of PRB scheduling strategy.Output is P as a result
Intra_dynICBe the PRB scheduling strategy of all kinds of UE that determine according to eNB internal interference harmony messages etc., it is the function of eNB internal interference harmony messages.
B) only there is an interface as if itself and scheduler, then this interface need be taken all factors into consideration resource use restriction strategy information and inner each the district dynamic interfere information of eNodeB between eNodeB, form the PRB scheduling strategy of dynamic interference coordination then, this PRB scheduling strategy can be determined according to following dual mode:
B1): the expression formula of PRB scheduling strategy is
P
RRC_IM=h(P
intra_dynIC,P
inter_ICIC)
Parameter P wherein
Inter_ICICAnd P
Intra_dynICCan determine according to the method a); P
RRC_IMPRB scheduling strategy for final output.
B2): the expression formula of PRB scheduling strategy is
Wherein parameter l oad_information is meant HII, OI, RNTP even load information, that is resource is used restriction strategy between eNodeB; DynIC_information is each district dynamic interfere information of eNB inside; Location_information is a position area information, as Cell Center User/edge customer information; P
RRC_IMPRB scheduling strategy for final output.
Situation for above-mentioned output one cover PRB scheduling strategy and two cover PRB scheduling strategies, the two respectively has its pluses and minuses: the cover PRB scheduling strategy of situation only export to(for) the dynamic interference coordination module, scheduler does not need the source of PRB scheduling strategy is considered, so the handling process of scheduler is single relatively; But its shortcoming is, resource is used restriction strategy, is used restriction strategy from the resource of other base stations that X2 interface receives when between the dynamic disturbance information of each minizone of inside of base station, base station that other base stations are exported in this base station, when any one information of three changes, all will trigger the renewal of this cover PRB scheduling strategy.Situations for using two cover PRB scheduling strategies need scheduler that it is considered respectively and integrated treatment, thus the handling process relative complex of scheduler some; Its advantage is based on this base station and exports to resource use restriction strategy between the base station of other base stations, long from the common cycle of upgrading of PRB scheduling strategy that the resource of other base stations that X2 interface receives uses restriction strategy to generate, and the PRB scheduling strategy update cycle that generates based on the dynamic disturbance information of each minizone of inside of base station is shorter, and it is divided into the computation complexity that two parts can reduce the PRB scheduling resource.
The implementation method of above-mentioned minizone dynamic interference coordination resource dispatching strategy in each scheduler is as follows:
A) if between eNodeB/have two kinds of interfaces between eNodeB internal interference harmony messages processing module and the scheduler, then can carry out interference coordination: the time for each UE Resources allocation according to following mode, information such as the channel quality (CQI) of this UE of needs consideration, transfer of data demand, terminal capability are with the overall performance of assurance system and the performance of UE, need also simultaneously to consider between eNodeB/the various PRB scheduling strategies of eNodeB internal interference harmony messages processing module output that the reduction that can try one's best is like this disturbed in the performance of assurance system, UE.This moment is as follows for the method that UE carries out resource allocation:
P
schdul_IM=η(P
schul_CQI,P
intra_dynIC,P
inter_ICIC,…)
P wherein
Schdul_CQIIt is the decision-making of considering that other factors carries out.Final scheduling strategy is P
Inter_ICIC, P
Intra_dynIC, P
Schdul_CQIEtc. the coefficient result of multiple factor.
B) if between eNodeB/ only have a kind of interface between eNodeB internal interference harmony messages processing module and the scheduler, then can carry out resource allocation decisions according to following mode:
P
schdul_IM=θ(P
schul_CQI,P
RRC_IM,…)
P wherein
Schdul_CQIIt is the decision-making of considering that other factors carries out.Final scheduling strategy is P
RRC_IM, P
Schdul_CQIEtc. the coefficient result of multiple factor.
The present invention proposes a kind of interference coordination of LTE system optimization/alleviate scheme, it is the minizone dynamic interference coordination, this schemes synthesis has been considered the mutual characteristics of LTE system centralized management entity internal information, interference coordination schemes between the centralized management entity of combined standard definition forms a kind of more optimal interference coordination/alleviate scheme.By this method, can alleviate the interference between inner each sub-district of centralized management entity, and alleviate because information interaction is untimely or load information can not well adapt to the phenomenon of the interference mitigation poor effect that dynamic change caused of wireless channel environment.This method can further alleviate the presence of intercell interference of LTE system, quality of services for users in elevator system overall throughput performance and the system.
