Wherein, the embodiment of the invention can be applied to (such as the TD-LTE system) in the TDD system, also can be applied to other needs dynamically to adjust in the system of subframe uplink-downlink configuration, for example TD-SCDMA system and follow-up evolution system thereof, WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, micro-wave access global inter communication) system and follow-up evolution system thereof etc.
Below in conjunction with Figure of description the embodiment of the invention is described in further detail.
As shown in Figure 2, the embodiment of the invention determines that the method for sub-frame information comprises the following steps:
In step 201, each subframe in the subframe set signal of adjacent subzone network side apparatus is measured, determine measurement result, wherein the subframe in the subframe set is to determine according to the subframe type of subframe in the radio frames of this cell configuration, subframe type in the radio frames comprises variable subframe, variable subframe is the variable subframe of transmission direction (promptly can carry out as required can a dynamic-configuration, and it is descending to be such as current period that the up next cycle just might become).
Step 202, determine the sub-frame information of same subframe in the adjacent sub-district or measurement result reported the upper layer network node that notice upper layer network node is determined the sub-frame information of same subframe in the adjacent sub-district according to measurement result according to measurement result.
Comprise subframe 4 such as subframe set, the measurement result that measures according to subframe 4 is determined the sub-frame information of subframe 4 in the adjacent sub-district.
Subframe type in the radio frames also has fixedly subframe (being the subframe that transmission direction can not change) except variable subframe.
Having only has variable subframe (comprising that all subframes all are that variable subframe or part subframe are variable subframes) in the radio frames, just be suitable for the embodiment of the invention.
Preferable, can also be before the step 201 to each sub-frame division subframe set.
Concrete, according to the subframe type in the radio frames of this cell configuration, be each the sub-frame division subframe set in each cycle; Or, be each the sub-frame division subframe set in each cycle according to the subframe set dividing mode of receiving from high level.
Preferable, if according to the subframe type in the radio frames of this cell configuration, be each the sub-frame division subframe set in each cycle, then can will distribute the identical variable sub-frame division of mould value in each cycle in a subframe set;
Wherein distribute the mould value to determine according to formula one:
X=N mod M........................... formula one;
X distributes the mould value, and N is a subframe numbers, and M is a cycle duration.
With a radio half frame (5ms) is the cycle to be divided into example:
The changeless subframe of neighbor cell configuration direction is 0,1,2,5,6,7 (being subframe numbering N mod 5=0,1,2 subframe); The subframe that the neighbor cell configuration direction may change is 3,4,8,9 (being subframe numbering N mod 5=3,4 subframe).
Can in each radio half frame, divide 2 subframe set according to the mode of formula one, promptly gather 1 subframe (comprising subframe 3 and 8) for subframe numbering N mod 5=3; And gather 2 subframes (comprising subframe 4 and 9) for subframe numbering N mod5=4.
The changeless subframe of neighbor cell configuration direction is 0,1,5,6 (being subframe numbering N mod 5=0,1 subframe); The subframe that the neighbor cell configuration direction may change is 2,3,4,7,8,9 (being subframe numbering N mod 5=2,3,4 subframe).
Can in each radio half frame, divide 3 subframe set according to the mode of formula one, promptly gather 1 subframe (comprising subframe 2 and 7) for subframe numbering N mod 5=2; Set 2 is the subframe (comprising subframe 3 and 8) of subframe numbering N mod 5=3; And gather 3 subframes (comprising subframe 4 and 9) for subframe numbering N mod 5=4.
Certainly, top formula is applicable to that not only cycle duration is the situation of 5ms, and other situations also are suitable for, and are the situations of radio frames integral multiple such as cycle duration.
If cycle duration is the situation of radio frames integral multiple, except adopting formula one, preferable a kind of mode is respectively as a subframe set with each variable subframe in each cycle.
With a radio frames (10ms) is the cycle to be divided into example:
The changeless subframe of neighbor cell configuration direction is 0,1,2,5,6; The subframe that the neighbor cell configuration direction may change is 3,4,7,8,9.
Can determine the distribution mould value of each subframe, directly the quantity of the subframe that may change according to the neighbor cell configuration direction is divided the subframe set.In each radio frames, divide 5 subframe set:
Set 1 is numbered 3 subframe for subframe in each radio frames;
Set 2 is numbered 4 subframe for subframe in each radio frames;
Set 3 is numbered 7 subframe for subframe in each radio frames;
Set 4 is numbered 8 subframe for subframe in each radio frames;
Set 5 is numbered 9 subframe for subframe in each radio frames.
If according to the subframe set dividing mode of receiving from high level, be each the sub-frame division subframe set in each cycle, then high-rise subframe set dividing mode can be identical with top subframe set dividing mode, also can adopt other dividing mode, but need determine according to the subframe type of subframe in the radio frames of this cell configuration.Such as in the one-period being a subframe set with the individual variable sub-frame division of preceding Z (Z is a positive integer), all the other variable sub-frame division are gathered for another subframe; Can also the odd number sub-frame division be a subframe set, the even number sub-frame division be another subframe set.Specifically can determine and notice by high level as required; Can also directly concrete dividing condition be notified to network equipment, in such as which variable sub-frame division gathering to which subframe by high level.
Preferable, in the step 201, to the signal measurement of adjacent subzone network side apparatus the time, can adopt RSRP (Reference signal received power, Reference Signal Received Power) metering system, measure the CRS (Cell-specific reference signals, the exclusive pilot signal in sub-district) of adjacent subzone network side apparatus in each subframe in the subframe set.
Preferable, before measuring, whether what can check adjacent subzone network side apparatus and the use of this sub-district earlier is same carrier wave, if then measure on the current carrier wave in this sub-district; If not, then jump on the current carrier wave in corresponding adjacent sub-district, on the current carrier wave in adjacent sub-district, measure.
Preferable, before measuring, can carry out time synchronized with adjacent sub-district earlier, and obtain the cell identity information of adjacent sub-district.
Concrete, if measuring process is finished when a network equipment start, for example network equipment sub-frame configuration of self when start is set to D (descending) S (special) U (up) UUDSUUU, on corresponding subframe set or subframe set group, carry out the measurement of each neighbor cell signal then, think that then a network equipment set up time synchronized with each neighbor cell, and known the Cell id information of each neighbor cell;
If measuring process is at the sub-frame of uplink or MBSFN (the Multimedia Broadcast multicast service Single Frequency Network of the sub-district that a network equipment has been set up, the multimedia broadcast multi-broadcasting business Single Frequency Network) carries out in the data area of subframe, think that then a base station is keeping the time synchronized with each neighbor cell, and known the Cell id information of each neighbor cell.
Accordingly, according to the cell identity information of the adjacent sub-district that obtains, in each subframe in the subframe set signal of adjacent subzone network side apparatus is measured.
In order to improve the reliability of measurement result, can divide the difference in cycle according to radio frames, subframe set group is formed in more than one subframe set, and a plurality of subframe set on a subframe set group are measured accordingly and measurement result are carried out smoothing processing and are used for judgement then.
Concrete, in the step 201, after in each subframe in the set of each subframe the signal measurement of adjacent subzone network side apparatus being determined measurement result, the definite measurement result of each subframe set that belongs in the same subframe set group is carried out smoothing processing, obtain measurement result;
Accordingly, in the step 202,, determine the sub-frame information of same subframe in the adjacent sub-district according to the measurement result after the smoothing processing; Or the measurement result after the smoothing processing reported the upper layer network node, the measurement result of notice upper layer network node after according to smoothing processing determined the sub-frame information of same subframe in the adjacent sub-district.
Preferable, when subframe set group was divided in each subframe set, the subframe set that can be contained same sub a plurality of cycles was as a subframe set group; Or, the subframe set is divided into subframe set group according to the subframe set group dividing mode of receiving from high level.
If adopt a plurality of cycles are contained the mode of the subframe set of same sub as a subframe set group, specifically what cycles are divided into subframe set group regulation or definite by high level in agreement as required.
Such as: the division cycle is 5ms, then the corresponding identical subframe in subframe numbering mould 5 backs of each subframe set in the individual radio half frame of Y (Y is the positive integer greater than 1, can determine based on the mode of agreement agreement or network side configuration) is constituted a subframe set group.For example divided 2 subframe set (subframe of N mod 5=3 and N mod 5=4) in each radio half frame, and M=4, then 4 subframes with N mod 5=3 in continuous 4 radio half frame constitute subframe set group 1; 4 subframes of N mod 5=4 constitute subframe set group 2 in same continuous 4 radio half frame;
Such as: the division cycle is 10ms, then the corresponding identical subframe of subframe numbering of each subframe set in the individual radio frames of L (L is the positive integer greater than 1, can determine based on the mode of agreement agreement or network side configuration) is constituted a subframe set group.For example divided 5 subframe set (be respectively and be numbered 3,4,7,8,9 subframe) in each radio frames, and L=4, then be that 4 subframes of 3 constitute subframe set group 1 with continuous 4 radio frames neutron frame numbers; Same continuous 4 radio half frame neutron frame numbers are 4 subframes formation subframe set groups 2 of 4, form 5 subframe set groups with this type of, comprise 4 subframes in each group.
In concrete enforcement, subframe set group is divided in each subframe set can divide at once in definite each subframe set back, also can after the measurement result of definite each subframe set, divide at once.
If according to the subframe set group dividing mode of receiving from high level, the subframe set is divided into subframe set group, then Gao Ceng subframe set group dividing mode can be identical with top subframe set group dividing mode, also can adopt other dividing mode.Such as in the certain hour the individual subframe set of preceding P (P is a positive integer) being divided into a subframe set group, all the other subframe set are divided into another subframe set group; Can also directly concrete dividing condition be notified to network equipment, be divided in which subframe set group such as which subframe set by high level.
The high level here can adopt the dividing mode that shows signaling method notice subframe set group.
In the step 202, it specifically is the sub-frame information of directly determining same subframe in the adjacent sub-district according to measurement result, still measurement result is reported the upper layer network node is determined same subframe in the adjacent sub-district according to measurement result by the upper layer network node sub-frame information, can in agreement, stipulate as required to adopt which kind of mode by the high level notice.
When determining the sub-frame information (comprise upper layer network node determine the sub-frame information of same subframe in the adjacent sub-district according to measurement result) of same subframe in the adjacent sub-district according to measurement result, the threshold value of measurement result and setting can be compared, determine the sub-frame information of same subframe in the adjacent sub-district according to comparative result.
The concrete threshold value quantity of setting can be provided with one or more as required, and sub-frame information includes but not limited to one or more in the following message:
Whether subframe transmission direction, subframe have interference.
The quantity of threshold value and the sub-frame information after the comparison are what can be determined by specific implementation, experience.
Such as only setting a threshold value, threshold value with measurement result and setting compares then, if greater than threshold value, confirm that then same subframe produces network equipment transmitting downstream signal in same subframe of cross interference or adjacent sub-district in the adjacent sub-district to this sub-district.
Such as only setting two threshold values 1 and 2, and threshold value 1 is less than or equal to threshold value 2, and the threshold value 1 of measurement result and setting is compared, if less than threshold value 1, then confirms not at this subframe transmitting downstream signal; Even perhaps launched downstream signal but this sub-district do not produced any cross interference.If greater than threshold value 2, confirm that then same subframe produces network equipment transmitting downstream signal in same subframe of cross interference or adjacent sub-district in the adjacent sub-district to this sub-district.If measurement result is avoided in order to disturb better between threshold value 1 and threshold value 2, can carry out with measured value greater than thresholding 2 identical operations; Perhaps in order to utilize sub-frame resources better, can carry out with measured value less than thresholding 1 identical operations.
If set more threshold value, concrete comparative result can be set according to realization and experience.
