Description

In relay communications system for channeling method and apparatus and for its Network node
Technical field
Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to mobile communication technology field, and relate more specifically in trunking traffic Method and apparatus for channeling and the network for it in system.
Background technology
Relaying technique is employed in third generation partner program senior long term evolution (3GPP LTE-A) technology.Relaying It is that one kind handles and forwarded received signal thereby to expand radio covering and enhancing data throughput by via node The technology of amount.Relaying technique can improve the covering of High Data Rate, group mobility, casual network deployment and cell edge Handling capacity, and can be also used for providing the covering in new region.Using relaying technique, via node (RN) will be from base station (eNB) two sections of preferable links of quality are divided into the direct link with poor quality of user equipment (UE), i.e. access chain Road and back haul link, wherein access link refer to the link between RN and UE, and back haul link refers to the chain between eNB and RN Road.
Via node is connected wirelessly to Radio Access Network via donor cell (that is, the cell for supporting relaying).On The frequency spectrum of via node is used, and the work of via node can be divided into:
In-band, eNB-RN links and RN-UE link sharing identical carrier frequency in this case.In this case, Re1- 8 UE should be able to be connected to donor cell.
- band is outer, and eNB-RN links in RN-UE link identical carrier frequencies with not operating in this case.This In the case of Re1-8 UE should be connectable to donor cell.
As is known, as " Class1 " via node defined in 3GPP TR36.814 V9.0.0 be with interior via node, It is characterized in that:
It is controlled to cell, and each cell is the independent cells different from donor cell for UE;
- cell should have the physical district ID (being defined in LTE Re1-8) of themselves, and via node Synchronizing channel, reference symbol of their own etc. should be transmitted.
- in the context of single subdistrict operation, UE directly should receive schedule information and HARQ feedback from via node, and And its control channel (SR/CQI/ACK) is sent to via node;
- for Re1-8 UE, it should serve as Re1-8 eNB (that is, back compatible);And
- be able to should be showed from Re1-8 eNB different for advanced LTE UE, via node, to allow further property Can enhancing.
Above-mentioned " Class1 " via node is that and back haul link and access link will use identical with interior via node Frequency band.Thus, link transmitter will cause interference on the receiver of their own.Therefore, while in same frequency resources hold Row backhaul link transmission and access link transmission are infeasible, unless for example by specific, well-separated and well every From antenna structure being adequately isolated for output signal and input signal be provided.
It is that operation relaying is make it that to assume that RN should be from it for solving a kind of possible solution of above-mentioned interference problem Not to user device transmissions data when donor eNB (DeNB, supporting the eNB of relaying) receives data.In other words, in access link " gap " is created in transmission.During these gaps, RN will not transmit any information to UE.These gaps can for example pass through MBSFN (multicast and broadcast single frequency network) subframes are configured as shown in Figure 1 to create.As shown in figure 1, RN-UE transmission uses Common subframe (such as illustrating in left side), and eNB-RN transmission uses MBSFN sub-frame (such as illustrating on right side).Between eNB and RN Transmission by by not allowing the transmission in some subframes between RN and UE, will promote.Thus, one in downlink wireless frame A little frame is configured for being the backhaul subframe transmitted from DeNB to RN, and other subframes are for the transmission from RN to UE Access subframe.
However, the introducing of relaying technique can still produce new cell edge and introduce more interference, and thus require to hold Row interference management or interference harmony are disturbed with mitigating.
Inter-cell interference harmony (ICIC) is processing inter-cell interference and improves the important of the bit rate at cell edge One of technology.One of typical scenario is R1-050507 (" SoftFrequency Reuse Scheme for UTRAN LTE, " 3 GPP RAN 1#41, the soft-frequency reuse (SFR) in 5 months 2005.Fig. 2 schematically shows the normal of three cell layouts Advise SFR schemes.As Fig. 2 illustrates, in typical SFR schemes, system bandwidth is equally divided into three frequency bands, i.e., F1, F2 and F3;For each cell in network, a frequency band will distribute to Cell Edge User, and other two frequency bands are used in cell Central user, and the frequency band for distributing to Cell Edge User is orthogonal between each two neighbor cells.In addition, Distribute at the frequency band of Cell Edge User, transimission power will be enlarged by.
Another minizone based on soft-frequency reuse (SFR) is provided in PCT Patent Publication WO2011/085513 to do Harmony scheme is disturbed, the program is shown schematically in Fig. 3.According to this scheme, the UE in cell is classified as three types, i.e. via The relaying UE of RN being serviceds, the edge UE directly serviced positioned at cell edge but by BS, and it is usually located at center of housing estate simultaneously And the center UE serviced by BS.System bandwidth is divided into 4 frequency bands F1, F2, F3 and F4, and its midband F4 is assigned to all BS for serving cell center UE;Its excess-three orthogonal frequency band F1, F2 and F3 are assigned to the cell to service other types UE.For specific cell, if BS carrys out serving cell edge UE using one of its excess-three frequency band F1, F2 and F3, RN can carry out service relay UE using one or both of other two frequency bands.
In order to mitigate the interference related to relaying, M.Peng, N.Yang, and W.Wang are in " On interference coordination for directional decode-and-forward relay in TD-LTE systems” In (Proceedings of IEEE Int.Conf.Commun. (ICC), Cape Town, South Africa, May 2010) Propose directional relay topology.

In addition, K.Doppler, X.He, C.Wijting, and A.Sorri are in " Adaptive soft reuse for relay enhanced cells”(Proceedings of IEEE 65th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2007-Spring), April 2007, pp.758-762) article in, propose in addition a kind of adaptive Provided for radio resources management scheme.In this scenario, it distributes to the power mask changed in a time domain or in a frequency domain each wireless Access point (RAP), and thus soft resources segmentation support channeling 1, while, each RAP have can be used for scheduling use The high power resource of the interference reduction of family terminal.
In addition, entitled " A novel frequency reuse scheme for OFDMA based relay enhanced cellular networks”(Proceedings of IEEE 69th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC2009-Spring), April 2009, pp.1-5.M.Liang, F.Liu, Z.Chen, Y.F.Wang, And D.C.Yang) article also disclose that a kind of frequency reuse plan, wherein whole cell is divided into two parts:It is internal Region and perimeter.The two regions all independently utilize whole frequency band, i.e., frequency duplex factor as one is for each region It is 1;In order to eliminate intra-cell interference, in base station and relaying using specific bandwidth assignment, directional aerial and power setting.
In addition, in article " A Self-Organized Resource Allocation using Inter-Cell Interference Coordination (ICIC) in Relay-Assisted Cellular Networks " (M.Mehta, O.G.Aliu, A.Karandikar, and M.A.Imran, ICTACT Journal on Communication Technology, vol.2, no.2, pp.300-313, June2011) in propose a kind of self-organizing allocation plan of physical resources.At this In article, interference neighbors group is introduced, to realize ICIC design by the Local Interaction between each entity.

Embodiment
Hereinafter, by refer to the attached drawing by embodiment be described in detail a kind of method and apparatus for channeling, Network node.It should be understood that these embodiments are provided just for the sake of making those skilled in the art better understood when and real The present invention is applied, and is not intended to the scope limiting the invention in any way.
Should be it is further noted that showing the present invention according to the particular order for performing method and step.However, these methods are simultaneously It is non-to want strict and performed according to shown order, and they can the property based on correlation method step and performed by inverted sequence or Person performs simultaneously.In addition, indefinite article " one/mono- " used herein is not excluded for multiple this steps, cell, device and right As etc..
As described above, the disturbance regime during backhaul and access subframe is different, and this will be carried out in detail with reference to figure 4 Explain, the diagrammaticalIy shows the exemplary interference model used in the present invention, and is accessed in the figure in downlink Desired signal during subframe and backhaul subframe is represented with solid line and long dotted line respectively, and is accessing subframe and backhaul subframe phase Between interference signal represented respectively with short dash line and chain-dotted line.
As illustrated in fig. 4, during the backhaul subframe that long dotted line represents, DeNB can also be dispatched for directly being taken by DeNB The grand UE (MUE) of business data, and RN is also at reception pattern, and thus interference in backhaul subframe only from eNB.Separately On the one hand, during the access subframe that solid line represents, RN transmits the number for the trunk subscriber equipment (RUE) via RN being serviceds According to while eNB also transmits the data for each MUE.In this case, interference in these access subframes from RN and Both eNB.
In view of above-mentioned difference disturbance regime, in the present invention, there is provided a kind of new frequency reuse plan.Carry in the present invention In the scheme gone out, it is assumed that all Cell Edge User are serviced by RN, and all Cell Center User are directly serviced by base station. That is user is divided into two types:The edge customer serviced by RN, and the central user serviced by base station.The hypothesis It is rational, because UE centered on original edge UE most probables are connected to via node, and then MUE is most possible.Therefore, Preferably, if RN is deployed in cell edge nearby so that they are dedicated for serving cell edge cell.
In solution provided by the invention, based on disturbance regime difference to access backhaul link transmission and access chain Road transmission uses different frequency multiplexing scheme.Specifically, for access link transmit, the frequency band that all eNB are used be it is fixed, And via node frequency of use multiplexing factor x (x > 2) is to carry out interference harmony.Each via node can be with a frequency domain (1-x α) B, wherein B is used to represent system bandwidth, i.e., whole frequency bandwidth using α B and grand eNB, α is to be saved by a relaying Point be used for access link transmission bandwidth share, i.e. for a via node frequency band relative to system bandwidth ratio. In this way, in access link transmission, MUE only will be disturbed by eNB and RUE disturbs the via node only by 1/x. Therefore, compared with eNB and via node all use the relay system of channeling 1 of whole frequency bandwidth, both MUE and RUE Inter-cell interference is significantly reduced.
On the other hand, for backhaul link transmission, using different frequency multiplexing scheme.For example, via node can be recognized It can be used for cell edge UE and traditional soft frequency multiplexing method.System bandwidth can also be divided into three frequency bands, Preferably three equal frequency bands.One is used for cell edge transmission, i.e. is used by base station for service relay node;And And other center of housing estate that are used for transmit, i.e. are used by base station for serving macro-cell user.Meanwhile it should ensure that adjacent at two Frequency band between cell for service relay node is orthogonal.Additionally, the power for cell edge transmission can be higher than For the power of center of housing estate transmission, this is favourable, because it will promote to improve transmission quality, and the transmission quality is usually The bottleneck of multi-hop transmission in junction network.
Hereinafter, the illustrative embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to figure 5 to 9.
May be referred to Fig. 5 first, its schematically show according to an illustrative embodiment of the invention be used for channeling Method flow chart.
As shown in figure 5, in step S501, transmitted for access link, system bandwidth is divided at least three frequency bands.
In embodiments of the present invention, transmitted for access link, system bandwidth is divided into x+1 frequency band, wherein x At least 2.Although it is also optional to be divided into some different size of frequency bands, the x in preferably x+1 frequency band is phase With size, i.e. the size of x frequency band is α B and remaining size is (1-x α) B.Parameter alpha can be according to any suitable Predefine when mode determines, such as by testing, emulating or be empirical value.It is preferable, however, that will be by performing optimization point Analysis is operated to determine the parameter, and this will hereinafter be described.
Afterwards, in step S502, used from described at least three frequency band selections, one frequency band for the base station in all cells, And other frequency bands are multiplexed by the via node in cell, frequency duplex factor as one is at least 2.
At least three frequency bands size be α B, α B ..., (1-x α) B in the case of, size is (1-x α) B frequency band can be fixed to the frequency band of all base station eNBs for the i.e. MUE of service centre user, and size is α B x Individual frequency band can be distributed to for serving cell edge customer i.e. RUE via node.RN can use at least 2 channeling The factor performs interference harmony.
Frequency duplex factor as one for example can be 2.This hypothesis is rational, because RN is very likely to the shape of similar circle In the presence of, and generally RN uses the transimission power more than height.Therefore, if RN is deployed near cell edge, this can be Preferably.
Fig. 6 A schematically show the example frequency during subframe is accessed according to an illustrative embodiment of the invention The diagram of multiplexing scheme, wherein system bandwidth are divided into three frequency duplex factor as one between frequency band and RN as 2.In addition, Fig. 6 B are shown to be distributed for access link transmission for frequencies of the eNB and RN for physical resource block (PRB).Such as Fig. 6 A Illustrate with 6B, all eNB use the frequency band of same fixation, and the frequency band is (1-2 α) B, and the RN in each cell is replaceable Ground uses other two frequency bands, and each size of the two frequency bands is α B.
On the other hand, for backhaul link transmission, it can use and be different from the soft-frequency reuse scheme that access link transmits. In an embodiment of the invention, RN can be considered as Cell Edge User and use conventional soft-frequency reuse scheme. Therefore, in step S503, for backhaul link transmission, system bandwidth can be divided at least the other three frequency band.Although institute Different size can be had by stating three frequency bands, and they are preferably divided into the frequency band of three equal sizes.
, can be from described one frequency band of at least the other three frequency band selection, for eNB using to service then in step S504 RN in cell, other frequency bands are used with the central user MUE in serving cell by eNB.Meanwhile it should also ensure that for servicing RN Frequency band be orthogonal between two neighbor cells.
Fig. 7 A schematically show the example frequency during backhaul subframe according to an illustrative embodiment of the invention The diagram of multiplexing scheme, wherein system bandwidth are equally divided into three frequency bands.As illustrated, in cell A, B and C, eNB Service band F1, F2 and F3 service its RN respectively, and eNB service bands F2+F3, F1+F3 and F1+F2 service MUE respectively.This Outside, Fig. 7 B show that the frequency for PRB for RN and MUE for backhaul link transmission is distributed.
Because RN is seen as cell edge UE, and therefore they can have the signal intensity of higher reception. That is the transimission power on a frequency band for servicing RN can be higher than on other band services for central user Transimission power.Fig. 7 C show the power level for backhaul link transmission on different frequency bands in different districts.It is clear that Power for cell edge transmission is higher than the power for central transmission.Center of housing estate transmits the power with cell edge transmission Ratio, i.e. the transimission power on other frequency bands of service centre user services the transmission on a RN frequency band with being used for Ratio between power can be defined as:ξ=PCCU/PCEU, wherein PCCUAnd PCEURespectively to center of housing estate UE and cell side The power level that edge UE is used when transmitting.
Parameter ξ can determine by any-mode, such as by testing, emulate, or can be determined that empirical value etc..So And, it is preferable that determine the parameter by performing optimization analysis operation.Then, by the illustrative embodiments with reference to the present invention Exemplary optimized analysis operation is described.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention embodiment, parameter alpha and ξ, optimization point will be determined by performing optimization analysis operation The target of analysis operation is guarantee system effectiveness and realizes user fairness.Hereinafter, the purpose in explanation, will be described two Individual target describes to optimize analysis operation as example.It is presented it should be understood, however, that the target is merely exemplary, and this Invention is not limited only to this.On the contrary, any other appropriate target, the maximization of such as systematic function or cell edge can be used The maximization of user performance, supported for the QoS of different service types, or similar target.
In addition, hereinafter, carry out for simplicity of illustration it is assumed hereinafter that:In each during accessing subframe followed by Between frequency duplex factor as one be 2 (x=2);Backhaul subframe configuration is identical for all eNB;And UE is equal according to ring-type It is distributed evenly.
Optimization aim
In order to realize system effectiveness and user fairness, there is provided be related to parameter alpha and ξ two instance object functions, the letter Number is described below.
Firstly, for the first optimization aim, in order to ensure efficiency of transmission, it is expected that the transmittability of back haul link is equal to access The transmittability of link.That is, following formulas can be obtained:
(formula 1)
Wherein QrnIndicate the Normalized throughput of RN in relay system;α is above-mentioned bandwidth scale parameter, i.e. relaying section The share for the bandwidth that point uses;NrnFor the number of the RN in cell;E(Qrue) be relay system in RUE handling capacities desired value.
In addition, for the purpose of user fairness, each RUE handling capacity statistically should be identical with MUE handling capacity.Such as User density or data service between fruit relaying and eNB is uneven, can increase some weights.Therefore, can obtain:
(formula 2)
Wherein ω is the weight of the ratio of the traffic density of the traffic density and MUE that represent RUE;NrueFor RUE in cell Number;E(Qmue_bh) desired values of the MUE handling capacities during backhaul subframe is represented, and it is above-mentioned power proportions ξ (that is, cells The power proportions of central transmission and cell edge transmission) function;E(Qmue) represent MUE handling capacities desired value;NmueFor cell Middle MUE number.
In order to solve the two functions, the SINR performances and throughput performance of different links will be analyzed respectively.
It is possible, firstly, to the basic path loss model that will act as analysis is written as:
(formula 3)
Wherein d is the distance between service station and UE, fcFor carrier frequency, c0For light propagation speed, and γ is path damage Lose index.
As described above, in the exemplary embodiment, it is assumed that UE is evenly distributed in annular section.From UE to service The minimum range of node is 0.1R, and wherein R is the length on the hexagon side of cell, as shown in Fig. 6 A or 7A.Then, for non- The situation of relaying, for being d with the distance of service nodebUE probability density function (PDF) can be expressed from the next:
(formula 4)
For relaying situation, for being d with the distance of service nodemMUE PDF can be similarly by following expressions:
(formula 5)
Similarly, in relaying situation, the distance with service node is drRUE PDF can also be by following expressions:
(formula 6)
Wherein dbRepresent to service eNB distance from UE to it in non-relaying situation;dmRepresent in relaying situation from MUE to eNB Distance;drRepresent to service RN distance from RUE to it;RbRepresent the radius of society of eNB in non-relaying situation, R0Represent relaying ENB radius of society in situation, and r0Represent the radius of society of RN in relaying situation.On parameter Rb、R、R0、r0, in the presence of State relation:
Rb=1.5R, R0+r0=Rb(formula 7)
Additionally, due to UE by based on the signal intensity of reception come determine cell select, so will have following formulas:
(formula 8)
SINR is analyzed
For downlink transmission, possibility via node of all interference in eNB and neighbor cell (depends on portion Affix one's name to scene and sub-frame configuration).For simplicity, the interfering nodes of immediate first layer are only considered, and in view of every The influence of the directional aerial of individual sector (cell), ideally, the interference from neighbor cell will be suppressed.In non- Exemplified by the UE in situation, the SINR of UE reception can be estimated as:
(formula 9)
Wherein diFor from UE to interference eNBiDistance, (covered for directional antenna pattern small around related UE first layer Area, i=1,2 ..., 6), PbFor eNB transimission power, and PDNFor Carrier To Noise Power Density.
Therefore, according to formula 9, TUEIt can be expressed as:
(formula 10)
In view of the fact that RN and eNB uses different frequency bands in access link transmission in embodiments of the present invention, MUE Only it will be disturbed by eNB.Therefore, similar to the UE in non-relaying situation, MUE SINR can be represented during subframe is accessed For:
(formula 11)
Wherein TmueIt can be expressed as:
(formula 12)
On the other hand, in access link transmission, RUE (is relaying the interference for experiencing the via node from half Between frequency duplex factor as one be 2 situation in).For simplicity, it is assumed that have two in each macrocell shown in Fig. 8 Individual via node, and RUE SINR can be approximated to be:
(formula 13)
Wherein TrueIt can be expressed as:
(formula 14)
Wherein PrRepresent the transimission power of via node.Fig. 8 schematically shows the diagram of RUE example interference, wherein examining The interference of all via nodes in peripheral cell is considered.It should be noted, however, that for the situation more than two RN, can To obtain similar formula, those skilled in the art can obtain the formula according to teachings herein provided, and thus will not It is repeated.
In backhaul link transmission, RUE will not receive any data, and MUE will be received and thus they will by with The horizontal adjacent eNB interference of different capacity.MUE SINR can be derived as in backhaul link transmission:
(formula 15)
Wherein Tmue_dbIt can be expressed as:
(formula 16)
And similarly, the SINR of via node can be exported as in backhaul link transmission:
(formula 17)
