Embodiment
Basic thought of the present invention is: target network element receives interference indication information from source network element, according to interference indication information determination interference source.
Be described in further detail below in conjunction with the enforcement of accompanying drawing to technical scheme.
Determine a method for interference source, the method mainly comprises following content:
Target network element receives interference indication information from source network element, according to interference indication information determination interference source.That is, target network element using the interference indication information that receives from source network element as the foundation judged, in order to determine interference source.
Further: the method also comprises: source network element, when judging that interference source causes interference to target network element, sends interference indication information to target network element.
Further: the interference that the interference source that source network element is judged causes target network element, can be reported by the measurement of interference source such as UE.
Further: interference indication information comprises the combination of any one or at least one in following information:
Information 1: the instruction that interference exists;
Information 2:UE transmits and arrives the intensity of target network element;

In sum, the present invention is by transmission interference indication information and to disturb indication information for reference foundation, to disturbing the scheme judged, except whether really the real interference of current generation is judged, whether can also accept to judge in scope in the target network element be disturbed to the interference produced, so that source network element is according to the judgement of target network element, follow-up interference ensuing interference source makes different control strategies, establish interference source, to avoid interference source, interference is caused to target network element.Adopt the present invention, greatly can improve the accuracy of judgement, except confirming whether interference truly produces exactly, after interference source can also be determined, adjust control strategy neatly.
Carry out citing to the present invention below to set forth.
Embodiment 1:
There is the situation of direct interface in the present embodiment, specifically sends the situation of interference instruction through X2 interface, as shown in Figure 3 under describing LTE system.Source base station eNB1 predict the UE administered under the Cell1 of community uplink interference is caused to the Cell2 community that target BS eNB2 administers, eNB1 and eNB2 can be macro base station or Home eNodeB, there is direct interface as X2 between eNB1 and eNB2.This direct interface can be based upon in the connection of eNB1 and eNB2.If eNB2 is the Home eNodeB by femto gateway core network access, then this direct interface also can be based upon eNB1 and eNB2 femto gateway between connection and femto gateway in the connection of eNB2; If eNB1 is the Home eNodeB by femto gateway core network access, then this direct interface also can be based upon eNB1 to the connection of femto gateway and femto gateway in the connection of eNB2.In Fig. 3, the judgement of interference is comprised the following steps:
Step 101:UE accesses Cell1, and according to measurement configuration to eNB1 reporting measurement reports; According to other supplementary of measurement report or UE, eNB1 judges that UE may cause interference to the community Cell2 under eNB2.
Such as, eNB1 knows that from measurement report the signal strength signal intensity of the Cell2 that UE receives is higher and the transmitting power of UE is comparatively large, and eNB1 judges that this UE under Cell1 may cause uplink interference to Cell2 thus.
Step 102:eNB1 sends interference indication message by direct interface to eNB2.
Here, comprise inside this interference indication message: produce the cell ID of interference, the mark of Target cell and the interference indication information to Target cell, optionally comprise the mark of the UE producing interference.The described interference indication information to Target cell can be the instruction that a simple predicted interference exists, and can also comprise the concrete quantitative information to the interference signal predicted.Described concrete quantitative information can be: transmitting of the UE that eNB1 estimates according to the path loss of the transmitting power of UE and UE and eNB2 arrives the signal strength signal intensity of target BS eNB2; Also can be only the metrical information that UE reports, at least comprise the downstream signal intensity of the Cell2 that UE receives and the uplink transmission power of E; For above-mentioned concrete quantitative information, can be eNB1 to a statistics after the measurement report process of multiple UE, also can be predicting the outcome to the signal strength signal intensity of single UE.
Step 103:eNB2 is according to oneself radio signal quality now and judge whether that UE really causes interference to Cell2 from the described interference indication information to Target cell in the interference indication message of eNB1.
Step 104a: if eNB2 judges that interference from the UE of Cell1 is within the tolerance interval of Cell2, optionally to eNB1 feedback interference instruction response.Whether the interference of the UE judgement whether within the tolerance interval of Cell2 can exceed according to the up intensity that arrives Cell2 of transmitting of UE the accepted maximum signal that Cell2 presets judges, the up intensity arriving Cell2 that transmits of UE can be obtained or be obtained with the signal strength signal intensity of the target network element received by the transmit signal strength calculating the UE in interference indication message from interference indication message, concrete computational methods are: the transmitting power calculating Cell2 deducts the signal strength signal intensity of the Cell2 that UE receives, and can be designated as B; The transmit signal strength of UE is designated as A, is realized by A-B.
Here, eNB2 can also feed back its acceptable annoyance level in this response, and eNB1 adjusts the parameter to eNB2 interference estimation upon receipt, to avoid sending unnecessary interference instruction to eNB2.This annoyance level can arrive Cell2 maximum signal with the UE under the maximum transmission power of the Cell1 of Cell2 acceptance or Cell1 represents.
Step 104b: if eNB2 judges that UE causes uplink interference to Cell2 really, not within the tolerance interval of Cell2, then need to adopt concrete way to reduce presence of intercell interference.
Such as consult with eNB1 the transmitting power reducing UE, or the maximum transmission power etc. increasing oneself UE is consulted in eNB2 and adjacent area.Thus the interference of network can be reduced, improve performance and the capacity of system.The machinery of consultation reducing interference is not summary of the invention of the present invention, no longer elaborates.
Above interference indication message can be completed by the newly-increased message on X2 interface, also can be completed by the base station configuration updating information on X2 interface or expansion OverLoad message, not do concrete restriction here.
