Description

A kind of method of selecting activation cell
Technical field
The present invention relates to the power-saving technology in communication system, particularly a kind of method of selecting activation cell.
Background technology
In order to realize energy saving (Energy Saving is called for short ES), can adopt specific mechanism to turn-off the radio frequency of some community (RF), to reduce wireless signal, pollute.Such as, on daytime, the personnel that handle official business regional increase, and traffic carrying capacity increases, and uptown number reduces; Evening is contrary.Just can turn-off by day the RF of a part of uptown community, open evening again; And turn-off the RF of the regional community of a part office evening, open daytime again.
The ES scene that the application relates to has two kinds, in these two kinds of scenes, provides the community of basic covering to be called coverage cell, is called capacity promotes community in hot spot region for the community of hoist capacity.Concrete, Inter-RAT ES scene is as shown in Figure 1.2G, 3G community A and B form the network of seamless coverage, and hot spot region therein arranges that E-UTRAN community C, D, E, F, G are to increase power system capacity and specific LTE service is provided.Wherein, A and B are coverage cell, and C, D, E, F, G are that capacity promotes community.
As shown in Figure 2, coverage cell and capacity promote community and are E-UTRAN community Inter-eNB ES scene, and community A and B provide basic covering, and community C, D, E, F, G are arranged in hot zones for hoist capacity.
In current ES technology, only have capacity to promote community and can be turned off/activate.The ES mechanism based on signaling of having adopted is at present: the shutoff that capacity promotes community promotes community self based on load judgement by capacity, the user of Hou Jiangzhe community of satisfying condition is switched to coverage cell, to adjacent base station, send configuration update message, enter resting state; The activation of capacity activation community, is promoted community to capacity after satisfying condition and sends activation request based on load judgement by coverage cell, and capacity lifting community is replied and activated response, and notifies other adjacent base station with configuration update message.
In addition, turn-off/activate and also can be controlled by OM.
Fig. 3 is the user distribution schematic diagram of a kind of supposition in ES technology.Wherein, community 1 is coverage cell, and community 2 and community 3 are that capacity promotes community.In scene shown in Fig. 3, suppose that community 2 and community 3 are all in resting state, community 1 finds that the duty ratio of this community is higher, need to activate other communities.If do not carry out the selection of activation cell, community 1 activation cell 2 and community 3 simultaneously, community 2 and community 3 can receive from community 1 to switch user in the past afterwards.But in fact according to user's distribution situation, may only activate wherein some communities and just can effectively share the load of community 1.For example, in Fig. 3, community 2 can be shared the load of community 1 effectively, does not need activation cell 3.
Do not do the activation cell of selecting and have two kinds of possible results:
1. community 3 has a small amount of user, but is not enough to reach the condition that it enters resting state.Although the traffic carrying capacity of community 3 is little, its downlink power amplifier function is still to be opened, and is in fact also equivalent to free-runing operation, has consumed equally a large amount of power.Therefore energy-saving efficiency is lower.
2. another kind of situation is that after operation a period of time, community 3 numbers of users seldom, reach its condition that enters resting state thereby deexcitation.But before deexcitation, its user can be switched go back to community 1, can cause pingpang handoff like this, to user, experience and bring harmful effect.
The method of several selections activation cell proposing is now:
Method A: use predefined strategy
When coverage cell detects high load capacity, use the strategy pre-define, strategy comprises that each capacity promotes " the underload period " of community, for example evening 12 shutting off cells, morning 7 activation cells.This information can obtain from OM.
Method B: measure based on the end lifting amount (IoT) of making an uproar
When coverage cell detects high load capacity, the capacity of request in resting state promotes community and opens monitor function, and report IoT measures.
Method C: measure based on UE
When coverage cell detects high load capacity, the capacity of request in resting state promotes community and enters " acquisition mode ", transmits control signal, and continues for some time (be called and survey the period).After surveying past period, resting state can be got back in these communities.UE in coverage cell can promote community for capacity and carry out reference signal measurement, and feeds back measurement result.Based on measurement result coverage cell, can determine to activate which capacity and promote community.
Method D: locating information
When coverage cell detects high load capacity, utilize the position of UE and position, radius, the transmitting power of capacity lifting community to decide and activate which capacity lifting community.
All there is certain shortcoming in above-mentioned several method of carrying out activation cell selection.Method A need to artificially collect data, and be used for judgement information be pre-stored statistics, can not dynamically adjust according to real time information, so accuracy is not high, may affect user's QoS; Method B need to open monitor function in the community of resting state, and energy-saving effect is had to impact; Method C need to increase new X2 signaling and enter acquisition mode for request capacity lifting community; Method D has requirement to UE ability, and complexity is higher.
Summary of the invention
