For the Poewr control method under continuity grouping connection status
Technical field
The present invention relates to moving communicating field, particularly relate to a kind of for the Poewr control method under continuity grouping connection status.
Background technology
Along with the development of IP Multimedia System (IMS) business, can find that IP based network Telecom Service Development has been current trend of the times.This kind of business have open flexibly, relate to the features such as network element is few, the construction cycle is short, renewal speed is fast, more can adapt to the development of Network undoubtedly.Communication service has been simplified to the structure of a kind of " client-server " by the current instant messaging (IM) become more and more popular simultaneously, such business has a basic demand, require that communication terminal is in line states exactly always, therefore need network system can support the function that IP is always online.
High-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) technology and High Speed Uplink Packet access (HSUPA) technology have lighted the hope that user continues to be connected, in such a scenario, user can keep connection status in long time, only carry out the transmission of data once in a while, avoid and connect termination frequently, re-establish and the intrinsic expense brought thus and time delay.
In existing mobile communication system, in order to avoid interrupting continually between user and base station and being connected, even if data channel just sends data in several activation cycles once in a while, up (UL) Dedicated Physical Control Channel (DPCCH) also keeps the state sending data always, waste the resource of system to a certain extent, increase the interference to other users, reduce the capacity of system.Third generation partner program (3GPP) the R7 stage proposes a solution---and continuity grouping connects (Continuous Packet Connectivity, be called for short CPC) technology, for keeping the connection between HSUPA/HSDPA user and base station when there is no transfer of data at data channel, reducing the interference of other users simultaneously and frequently interrupting, connect the expense brought.
See Fig. 1, it is the parameter schematic diagram of UL DPCCH under CPC state in prior art.Under CPC state, UL DPCCH sends no longer continuously, but sends discontinuously with certain cycle, is operated in activation (active)/inactive (inactive) pattern.When both not strengthening dedicated channel (E-DCH) transmission, not having High-Speed Dedicated Physical Control Channel (HS-DPCCH) to transmit yet, subscriber equipment (UE, User Equipment, 3GPP calls for mobile terminal) will automatically stop DPCCH launching, and use a predefined DPCCH bursts of activities (burst).Once E-DCH and HS-DPCCH starts to launch, recover normal DPCCH immediately and launch.In order to maintain necessary uplink synchronous in inactive period, predefined DPCCH bursts of activities must keep certain transmission cycle.Up discontinuous transmission (being called for short UL DTX) uses two kinds of discontinuous DPCCH to send cycle: UE_DTX_cycle_2 and UE_DTX_cycle_1, and the former is the integral multiple of the latter.In order to reduce uplink interference further, the power of different users being presented in time domain and is uniformly distributed, a specific time migration can be configured for each UE.
Fig. 1 gives the transmitting cycle of UL DPCCH under channel E-DCH state of activation, can find out the transmitting cycle of DPCCH by fix burst, leading (Preamble), after lead (Postamble) and other channels (such as E-DCH) activation cycle form.Although the resource of system has been saved in the discontinuous transmission of UL DPCCH under CPC state, reduce the interference of other users and increase the capacity of system, but also bring a problem, how that carries out the problem of power control (TPC) exactly under CPC state simultaneously.
Power control techniques is the key technology of Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) (WCDMA) mobile communication system, WCDMA system is a self-interference system, all subscriber equipmenies (being called for short UE) all take same band and frequency, if all UE launch with identical power in community, because each UE is different from the Distance geometry path of base station (being called for short Node B), signal arrives Node B and just has different attenuations, thus cause from the UE close to Node B, the signal that Node B receives is strong, UE away from Node B, the signal that Node B receives is weak, the intensity of the signal received by Node B will be caused like this to differ greatly, may can not be despread out after weak signal far away arrives Node B, weak signal is caused " to flood " in strong signal, and then block the communication in major part region, community, thus create the problem being called as " near-far interference " in a wcdma system.The object that power controls overcomes " far and near effectiveness " exactly, ensures that each user institute transmitting power arrives base station minimally, can meet minimum communicating requirement, avoid again producing unnecessary interference to other subscriber signals simultaneously, make maximize system capacity.
In a wcdma system, power controls can be divided into uplink power control and downlink power control two class by direction; Whether participate in by UE and Node B simultaneously and be divided into open Loop Power control and the large class of close-loop power control two.Closed-loop power control refers to the process that transmitting terminal controls transmitting power according to the feedback information that receiving terminal is sent here; And open loop power control does not need the feedback of receiving terminal, transmitting terminal controls transmitting power according to self measuring the information obtained.Uplink closed loop technology is a kind of power control techniques the most frequently used in HSPA system, and the physical layer between Node B and UE is carried out, and the object of up inner-loop power control is that to make base station receive the bit energy of each UE signal equal.See Fig. 2, it is the schematic diagram of up inner-loop power control in prior art.First, the signal-to-jamming ratio (SIR) of the upward signal that Node B measurement receives, and compare with the target SIR (target SIR is handed down to Node B by RNC (radio network controller)) arranged, if measure SIR to be less than target SIR, the TPC identification notification UE of Node B in descending physical channel fractional dedicated physical channel (F-DPCH) improves transmitting power, otherwise notice UE reduces transmitting power.
TPC mode conventional under current CPC state carries out power control according to the fixing burst of UL DPCCH, namely only in the signal-to-jamming ratio (SIR) that the location estimation of fixing bursts of activities burst receives, and it compared with target SIR value, if the SIR recorded is higher than target SIR, Node B just order UE reduces power; If the SIR recorded is lower than target SIR, Node B just order UE raises power.Other positions (as leading, after lead the activation cycle with other channels) do not carry out power control.This kind of method, smaller in the burst cycle of UL DPCCH, and time channel circumstance changes more slowly, can meet the demands completely.But at the burst period ratio comparatively large (160 subframes may be reached according to the regulation UE_DTX_cycle2 of agreement) of UL DPCCH, and channel circumstance change is than (such as under fading channel conditions) in situation faster, the position of fixing burst is just utilized to carry out power control, UE transmitting power can be caused cannot to follow the change of channel circumstance, cause transmitting power excessive or too small, greatly reduce the capacity of communication system.
