The invention has the beneficial effects as follows that described Access Network framework also comprises the virtual Access Network of supporting that each node cooperates completely, realize the virtual of traditional base station access-in resource, be divided into and be responsible for the antenna element of signal transmitting and receiving function and the centralized processing unit of responsible computing function.By network virtualization technology, antenna element and centralized processing unit are reconfigurable and can flexible expansion.
Assembly in described framework---be responsible for controller and resource pool that the whole network scheduling of resource and OpenFlow agreement support.The identity identification information (ID) that comprises described antenna element and centralized processing unit in the stream table of its middle controller generation and renewal, the resources such as time slot, carrier wave, code word, space angle.
Under described framework, propose the OpenFlow agreement towards mobile communication framework, comprised the mutual of the definition of brand-new stream table content and stream table information.
Described framework comprises the mutual cooperation between various standards, various types of antenna element.Cover the situation of the same area for dissimilar antenna element, adopt the mode of collaboration communication jointly for user provides resource.But, different from homogenous networks, dissimilar antenna element has different maximum transmission power, and number of transmit antennas is also different, therefore need by back haul link exchange control signal cooperate reach shared Radio Resource, suppress to disturb, the object such as increase power system capacity.
Described framework by southbound interface protocol application such as OpenFlow in mobile communication access network framework, support the virtual Access Network of cooperation completely, realize access-in resource virtual, be decomposed into centralized processing unit and antenna element, can reshuffle more flexibly and expand, realized in mobile communication access network network and having controlled and separating of forwarding.
Although described by reference to the accompanying drawings embodiments of the present invention, but those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, such modification and modification all fall into by within claims limited range.
