Background technology
Existing studies show that introduced heterogeneous network in advanced (LTE-advanced) system of Long Term Evolution.Heterogeneous network refers to that macrocell lower floor has also disposed Microcell.Such as long-distance radio frequency unit (RRH), little base station (Pico eNB), Home eNodeB (Home eNB) and relay base station (relay eNB).Typically heterogeneous network has two kinds of deployment way.A kind of is macrocell (macro cell)+home base station cells (femto cell), and another kind is macro cell+ picocell (pico cell) or relaying residential quarter (relay cell).The introducing of Microcell has caused more cell border areas, thereby causes extra interference.Unbalanced power between macrocell and the Microcell causes particularly serious interference to the UE that is in cell border areas.All there is serious interference problem in above-mentioned two kinds of deployment way.
In the deployment way of macro cell+pico cell or relay cell, disturb and mainly come from distributed area expansion (range expansion).Range expansion uses the reference signal receiving intensity (RSRP) that is different from the tradition access in order to alleviate the macro base station burden.Specifically, UE is when judging access macrocell or Microcell, at the signal strength signal intensity RSRP from Microcell
MicroA side-play amount of upper increase (bias), bias is positive number, bias is normally configured by upper layer device.RSRP
MicroUpper increase bias again with signal strength signal intensity RSRP from macrocell
MacroRelatively, if RSRP
Micro+ bias 〉=RSRP
Macro, then UE selects the access Microcell; Otherwise UE selects the access macrocell.
Use range expansion technology, the UE in the accompanying drawing 1 in the Microcell extended region can suffer severe jamming.Its reason is, comes from the one hand from the weakening of Microcell signal receiving strength, and comes from the other hand the enhancing from the macrocell interference signal.The result is in the possibility that UE in the Microcell extended region scope can not correctly receive signal to be increased greatly, has further caused throughput of system decline.
How effectively to alleviate and even eliminate Microcell and introduce the key that the interference bring especially improves the LTE-advanced systematic function, improves throughput.Although the interference coordination solution of the data channel that Release8/9 provides can be continued to use, but still there is the interference problem of control channel.
In the middle of the prior art, utilize the interference coordination between multicarrier realization macro base station (macro eNB) and pico eNB.For example, two carrier wave f1 and f2, macro base station be to being little UE away from user (UE) under little base station of little base station, can be on any one carrier wave control channel and data message.To being grand UE near UE under the macro base station of little base station, and near little UE of macro base station, control information need to be transmitted at different carrier waves, and data message then can transmit at any carrier wave.
In view of interference problem serious under the heterogeneous network, when utilizing multicarrier to alleviate macro base station to the interference of little base station one side control channel, macro base station and little base station all need to configure the master control carrier wave.Namely need to determine for being disturbed more serious UE, transmitting physical downlink channel control on which carrier wave (PDCCH), which does not pass PDCCH.Because the master control carrier wave of macro base station and the configuration of little base station can not be on same carrier wave.The master control carrier wave that reduces little base station just can transmit at other carrier wave the master control carrier wave of macro base station, thereby can improve the dispatching flexibility of macro base station, further elevator system performance.
Because the decline situation that UE faces on different carrier and the interference that suffers are different, select arbitrarily carrier wave as the master control carrier wave, the master control carrier wave still is interfered.

Are method flow schematic diagrames of interference coordination in the heterogeneous network referring to accompanying drawing 2, specifically may further comprise the steps:
Step 201, pico eNB determine the high interference user based on the RSRP of UE feedback, determine high interference user to be dispatched in the high interference user.
Pico eNB classifies to the UE of its service, and the UE set omega that each pico eNB connects is divided into the UE set of two classifications: be disturbed more serious UE, i.e. high interference user set omega
HighBe disturbed weak UE, i.e. low interference user set omega
Low, and Ω=Ω is arranged
High∪ Ω

Threshold, j ∈ Ω }.High interference user is for need strengthening the user of interference coordination, namely must be on the master control carrier wave user of scheduled transmission.Low interference user is not for needing to strengthen the user of interference coordination, namely can be on other carrier wave the user of scheduled transmission.
After high interference user determines, in the high interference user, determine high interference user to be scheduled, high interference user namely to be dispatched.
Step 202, basis high interference user to be dispatched judge existing master control carrier wave overload.
Judge existing master control carrier wave overload according to high interference user to be dispatched, then execution in step 203; Otherwise, execution in step 204.
Judge according to high interference user to be dispatched whether existing master control carrier wave is loaded with following dual mode excessively.
Mode one
If high interference number of users to be dispatched, is then determined existing master control carrier wave overload greater than the bearing capacity of the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) of existing master control carrier wave; Otherwise, determine the existing non-overload of master control carrier wave.
Mode two
If high interference user to be dispatched uses the percentage of control channel element (CCE) of PDCCH of existing master control carrier wave greater than the second default threshold value, then determine existing master control carrier wave overload; Otherwise, if high interference user to be dispatched uses the percentage of CCE of PDCCH of existing master control carrier wave less than or equal to the second default threshold value, then judge the existing non-overload of master control carrier wave.
Step 203, the optimum subcarrier of selection are as newly-increased master control carrier wave.
Select optimum subcarrier to comprise following dual mode as newly-increased master control carrier wave:
Mode A: the number that is in the high interference user of more excellent channel status according to high interference user's channel status statistics, be in high interference user's the number of more excellent channel status greater than the 3rd default threshold value, select to be in the maximum subcarrier of high interference user's the number of more excellent channel status as newly-increased master control carrier wave.Wherein, more excellent channel status is that the high interference user's that calculates according to following a, b or c channel status is more than or equal to the 4th default threshold value.
Mode B: select optimum subcarrier as newly-increased master control carrier wave according to the assembly average of high interference user's channel status.Wherein, assembly average comprises effectively new dried the making an uproar than mapping EESM of linear average or index.Namely to descending ordering of assembly average corresponding to subcarrier, choosing subcarrier corresponding to maximum is that optimum subcarrier is as newly-increased master control carrier wave.
The channel status of high interference user among mode A and the mode B can be determined according to following three kinds of situations.
A, high interference user's channel status is determined by RSRP and the Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) of high interference user feedback.
B, high interference user's channel status is determined by the channel quality indication (CQI) of network broadband.
C, by the RSRP of high interference user feedback and RSRQ as the rough estimate evaluation; The thin estimated value of CQI conduct by network broadband; Determine described high interference user's channel status according to rough estimate evaluation and thin estimated value.
Above-mentioned a, b and three kinds of definite high interference users' of c channel status is prior art, repeats no more.
Step 204, basis high interference user to be dispatched judge existing master control carrier wave underloading.
If high interference user to be dispatched uses the percentage of CCE of PDCCH of existing master control carrier wave less than or equal to the 5th default threshold value, then determine existing master control carrier wave underloading; Otherwise, if high interference user to be dispatched uses the percentage of CCE of PDCCH of existing master control carrier wave greater than the 5th default threshold value, then judge the existing non-underloading of master control carrier wave, return step 202.Wherein, the 5th threshold value is less than the second threshold value.
Step 205, the poorest subcarrier of selection are as master control carrier wave to be reduced.
Select the poorest subcarrier to comprise following dual mode as master control carrier wave to be reduced, i.e. mode A in the step 203 and mode B.
Mode A: be in the high interference user's of poor channel state number according to high interference user's channel status statistics, and selection is in the high interference user's of poor channel state the maximum subcarrier conduct master control carrier wave to be reduced of number.Wherein, poor channel state refers to that the high interference user's that calculates according to a, b or c in the step 203 channel status is less than or equal to the 4th default threshold value.
Mode B: select the poorest subcarrier as master control carrier wave to be reduced according to the assembly average of high interference user's channel status.Wherein, assembly average comprises effectively new dried the making an uproar than mapping EESM of linear average or index.Namely to descending ordering of assembly average corresponding to subcarrier, choose the i.e. the poorest subcarrier conduct master control carrier wave to be reduced of subcarrier corresponding to minimum value.
To macro eNB feedback adjusting master control carrier wave, macro eNB upgrades available master control carrier list by X2 interface for step 206, pico eNB.
Pico eNB by and macro eNB between X2 interface, to macro eNB feedback adjusting master control carrier wave.Macro base station receives the feedback information that pico eNB sends, in view of the pico eNB quantity of cell coverage area, adjusting needs the regular hour, therefore needs to be adjusted the finishing such as regular hour, after the wait, macro eNB upgrades available master control carrier list.
Step 207, macro eNB adjust the master control carrier wave of self according to available master control carrier list.
Macro eNB determines self available master control carrier wave according to pico eNB feedback.And judge whether the master control carrier wave transships, to adjust the master control carrier wave of self.
Wherein, judge that the process whether the master control carrier wave transship is identical with step 202.
