The specific embodiment of the disclosure

Following disclosure provides many different embodiments or example of different characteristic used to implement the present disclosure.Portion Part and the specific example of arrangement are described as follows to simplify the disclosure.These are only that example and being not intended to is limited certainly.This Outside, the disclosure can repeating label and/or letter in the various examples.This repetition be for purposes of simplicity and clarity, and And itself do not indicate the relationship between the various embodiments discussed and/or configuration.

Different embodiments can have different advantages, but centainly need specific advantage without any embodiment.

Fig. 1 is the block diagram according to the exemplary mobile network 100 of one or more of this specification.Mobile network 100 includes User equipment 120, user equipment 120 are for example communicatively coupled to radio access network (RAN) 110 via wireless antenna 116. RAN 110 is for example, the voice protocol (VOIP) by Internet protocol is communicatively coupled to core net 130.Core net 130 again can To be connected to different networks, such as provide open switched telephone (PSTN) 172 or the interconnection of the one or more services of access Net 170.In one example, when UE 120 is participating in call, mobile network 100 provides voice by PSTN 172 and exhales Cry service.In another example, when UE 120 just execute data manipulation (such as web application, surf the web, Email or its Its network operation) when, UE 120 is connected to internet 170 via mobile network 100.However should be pointed out that PSTN 172 and mutually Networking 170 is provided only as the example of their own service type, and can also provide the service of other classifications.Cause This, these examples are not intended to for mobile network 100 being limited in specific example disclosed in the present application.

In this example, the signal of two categories transmits in mobile network 100: voice, data and call signal ( Referred to herein as " user plane " signal), and control signal (referred to herein as " control plane " signal).

In a sample scenario, initiate to be passed to RAN110 from the user plane signal of UE 120.In RAN 110 In, user plane signal is received by node B 112 (or other similar base stations) first, and " calling " is transmitted to by node B 112 Radio network controller (RNC) 114.Call Transfer is VOIP data flow by RNC 114, and is provided to core net 130。

Core net 130 can be, such as general packet radio service (GPRS) 2G, 3G, 3G+ or other networks.It is saying In bright book, long term evolution (LTE) network (being typically considered 3G+ or forth generation network) is used as example.However it should Note that this is not intended to limit, and any suitable network can be substituted.

In this example, core net 130 includes Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) 140 and Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN)142。

SGSN 140 can be configured as from the mobile base station (such as node B112) in geographic service area and receive data It is grouped and delivers data grouping to mobile base station.SGSN 140 can provide grouping routing and transmission, mobile management (connection/ Separation and location management), Logical Link Management and certification and billing function.Common SGSN function includes, by unrestricted Property exemplary mode, go tunnelling (detunnel) to be grouped from the GTP of GGSN 142 (downlink), and IP is grouped direction GGSN 142 (uplink) tunnel carries out mobile management and to user data charging.In the configuration of GSM/EDGE, SGSN 140 can provide additional function, by it is unrestricted it is exemplary in a manner of include: that every subscriber 60kBd to 150kBd is provided Between maximum data rate；It is connected to packet control unit；Receive uplink data to form IP grouping；Encrypt downlink chain Circuit-switched data；Decrypt uplink data；And execute mobile management.

GGSN 142 is responsible for the networking between GPRS network and external network (such as internet 170).Therefore GGSN 142 It is to face outwardly (outward- from the point of view of all angles of internet 170 and the subnet after GGSN 142 Facing) node.Therefore, GGSN 142 has hidden any basis GPRS found in mobile network 100 from internet 170 and has set It applies.In exemplary method, GGSN 142 receives the data for being addressed to particular UE 120, then verifies requested UE 120 and is moving It is movable on dynamic network 100.If UE 120 be it is movable, GGSN 142 forwards the data to SGSN 140, SGSN 140 serve data to UE 120.On the other hand, if UE120 be it is inactive, data are dropped.

On the contrary, the grouping initiated from UE 120 reaches GGSN 142, and flow is directed to internet 170 by GGSN 142 On correct node (such as correct IP address).GGSN 142 can also be operable to the GPRS inputted from SGSN 140 points Group is converted to packet data protocol (PDP) format, and they are sent out to internet 170.In the opposite direction, input data The pdp address of grouping is converted into the address GSM of UE 120.

Although GGSN 142 provides the data traffic directly to internet 170, before proceeding to PSTN172, voice flow Amount passes through Media Gateway (MGW) 138 first.In this example, MGW138 is in different telecommunication network (such as PSTN and such as The next generation network of 2G, 2.5G, 3G, 3G+, LTE or the like) between translate digital media stream.This to assist via multiple transmission Across the next generation network multimedia communication of view (such as asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) and IP) is possibly realized.

MGW 138 can be controlled by the Media Gateway Controller function (MGCF) 136 of separating, and MGCF 136 provides calling control System and signaling capability.

On the control plane, node B 112 and RNC 114 can be by centralized 180 He of self-organizing network equipment (C-SON) Operations support systems (OSS) 160 provide service.One or more distribution SON (dSON) equipment can also be provided, such as attached To one or more node B 112.

Media Gateway Controller functional device (MGCF) 136 be for (such as Session initiation Protocol (SIP) and ISDN use Between the Ministry of Revenue's point (ISUP) agreement) endpoint device of conversion hello protocol.MGCF 136 can control the resource of MGW 138.

Call session control function (CSCF) 134 executes some sip servers or the role of agency, is that CSCF is serviced simultaneously And it can be used in SIP signaling.

Home subscriber servers (HSS) 132 provide home location register (HLR) and two kinds of functions of authentication center (AuC).

SON provides design to make plan, configuration, management, optimization and the recovery of mobile radio access network compare hand Dynamic allocation plan is more simple, efficiently automatic technology.What SON function and behavior had been produced by such as 3GPP and other tissues It defines and provides in recommendation.

SON may be provided in several different ways, including centralized SON (C-SON), distribution SON (dSON) and It mixes SON (hSON).

DSON function is distributed between multiple network elements at network edge (including one or more node B 112). This provides the function of localization.

C-SON function is generally focused on closer to higher-order network node (such as OSS 160) to allow to more multiple edge The wider general introduction of element and the coordination to the function such as across the big load of geographic area etc.

H-SON is the mixing of centralized and distributed SON, combines wherein every kind of element in hybrid plan.

Advantageously, SON provides useful function, such as:

A. it self-configures." insertion and broadcasting (plug-and-play) " mode is striven in self-configuration, thus new base station It is automatically configured and is integrated into network, and the new function (including online new carrier frequency) on base station is also able to seamless collection At.Self-configuration can be provided to each radio plot as a part of Software Delivery by equipment supplier.When new base station It is introduced in network and opens, it is by immediately by Network Recognition and registration.The subsequent adjust automatically of neighbor base stations is required to provide Covering and capacity, and provide and interference is avoided.

B. self-optimization.Base station may include many configuration parameters of its operation of control.Each of these parameters can be with Network behavior is adjusted to alter based on both measurements at observation and movement station to base station itself or handheld device. One in first SON feature is established automatic neighborhood (ANR), and other feature is optimized at random in a manner of switching oscillation Access parameter or the robustness of flowing.One use-case for being good at describing the problem is that the base of certain percentage is automatically closed at night It stands.Neighbor base stations will then reconfigure its parameter to keep whole region to be covered by signal.Just in case connection needs for any reason Ask unexpected growth, " suspend mode " base station almost moment by " wake-up ".This mechanism is that operator is significantly energy saving.

C. self-regeneration.When certain nodes in a network become inoperable, self-regeneration mechanism is intended to for example lead to Overregulate the cell parameter and algorithm (so that other nodes can support the user once supported by the node of failure) in neighbours It is influenced to reduce failure bring.In traditional network, the base station broken down is to be difficult to sometimes and need significant amount Time and resource repair it.This function of SON allows to find such failure base station immediately, further arranges to take It applies and ensures that there is no the significant deteriorations of service for user.

Fig. 2 is one or more exemplary, frequency carrier 230 in node B 112 block diagrams according to this specification.Herein In example, node B 112 is communicatively coupled to Femto cell 210, and base station 210 can be any suitable small base station, such as LTE belongs to eNodeB (HeNB) or similar base station.It should also be noted that for concise purpose, certain that equally may exist is discussed A little elements and the network equipment (such as gateway, mobility management entity (MME) and other network equipments) are from Fig. 2 and other attached drawings Middle omission.

In the figure 2 example, carrier wave F1 230-1 is assigned to by the frequency carrier of 1087 marks.Carrier wave F2 230-2 quilt Distribute to 412 frequency carriers.Carrier wave F3 230-3 is assigned to 437 frequency carriers.Carrier wave F4 230-4 is assigned to 1062 frequencies Rate carrier wave.Carrier wave F5 230-5 is assigned to 612 frequency carriers.

These frequency carrier marks only provide by way of example, and it should be noted that any suitable of carrier wave can be used Work as combination.In this example, frequency carrier mark is UMTS terrestrial radio access (UTRA) absolute radio frequency number (UARFCN) mark Will.

UMTS frequency carrier radio frequency as used in Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) network.Frequency carrier is It is distributed by management subject, each is indicated, simultaneously with uplink and the nominal frequency (nominal frequency) of downlink It and may include specified use.

In the day that this specification is write, UARFCN can be checked on the internet, such asHttp: // niviuk.free.fr/umts_band.phpIt checks.Example frequency carrier wave is as follows:

Table 1- carrier frequency

These exemplary carriers are only used in the whole instruction by way of example, to illustrate intercarrier load balance Example.It should be appreciated, however, that there is no limit for the selection of these carrier waves, and any suitable carrier wave arrangement can be used.

In some embodiments (such as the embodiment standardized according to UMTS third generation partner program (3GPP)), each Carrier wave 230 can have " neighbours " relationship between no more than two frequencies, be Femto cell 210 and next deployment in this example UMTS carrier wave.In certain known embodiments, these neighborhoods can be by engineering process come static definition.Except other Outside function, when the carrier wave that flow is directed toward cannot handle flow, neighborhood makes flow by " spilling " to neighbours' carrier wave.This Outside, in some embodiments of LTE, each carrier wave 230 must have the unique UARFCN communicated with Femto cell 210.

Therefore in the figure 2 example, carrier wave F1 230-1 has with Femto cell 210 and with carrier wave F2 230-2's Neighborhood between frequency.Carrier wave F2 230-2 and Femto cell 210 and the neighborhood with carrier wave F3 230-3.Carrier wave F3 230-3 has the neighborhood with Femto cell 210 and with carrier wave F4230-4.Carrier wave F4 230-4 has small with millimicro Area 210 and neighborhood with carrier wave F5230-5.Carrier wave F5 230-5 has the neighborhood with Femto cell 210, with And it is circulated back to carrier wave F1 230-1, form closed loop neighborhood system.Femto cell 210 operates on 9938 carrier waves.

It can be noted that this static arrangement can lead to the case where carrier wave 230 is not organized optimally such as in Fig. 2.Example Such as, carrier wave F1 230-1 and F5 230-5 can be designated as " heavily loaded (loaded) carrier wave " in this example.It means that this Two carrier waves are subject to heavy duty.Carrier wave F2 230-2 can be designated as " opposite underloading (less-loaded) load in this example Wave." it means that carrier wave F2 230-2 is handling some flows, but the flow handled by it does not have carrier wave F1 230-1 and F5 230-5 is so much.Thus while carrier wave F2 230-2 is loaded, its essence of carrier wave F1 230-1 and F5 230-5 is compared On can have more available bandwidths.Finally, carrier wave F3 230-3 and F4230-4 can be designated as, " unloaded (free) is carried Wave ".It means that the two carrier waves are substantially without flow.

It is readily apparent that this arrangement may result in certain difficulties.For example, carrier wave F5 230-5 and carrier wave F1 Neighborhood between 230-1 is it is possible that difficulty.Due to carrier wave F1 230-1 heavy duty, when carrier wave F5 230-5 attempts to provide When flow switches, carrier wave F1 230-1 may not have the available bandwidth for handling flow.This, which may cause, goes offline or packet loss. At the same time, carrier wave F3 230-3 and F4230-4 keep completely unloaded, and carrier wave F2 230-2 holding part is unloaded.This may It will lead to the operating condition of the non-optimal of node B 112, such operating condition may result in unacceptable network performance.

Go offline, packet loss or other suboptimal networks operation (such as UE 120 cannot connect to network) may be to the key of network Performance indicator (KPI) has an adverse effect, this will affect the validity and its commercial viability of network.Therefore in some embodiments In, it is beneficial for improving KPI by improving network efficiency.

In certain embodiments, C-SON 180 (be used alone or be used in combination with dSON 182 and OSS 160) can To be provided with policy engine 1624 (Figure 16), policy engine is provided with multiple rule for defining scene and corresponding strategies Then.In one example, multiple scene S0...Sn are provided, each scene S can be defined by certain section of network condition.One A little strategies are also defined by P0...PK.Strategy can be defined as making a response network condition scene.

C-SON 180 or the similar network equipment may include the communication interface for coupling with node B 112, itself Including telecommunications engine 1526 (Figure 15).Telecommunications engine 1526 be operable on multiple frequency carriers provide radio up-line and Downlink communication service, multiple frequency carriers are configured with the baseline configuration P0 with baseline neighbor relation.

The policy engine 1624 of C-SON 180 is operable to identification network condition scene S1；It positions associated with scene S1 Tactful P1；And configuration order is provided to telecommunications engine 1526 based on P1, wherein first frequency carrier wave and second frequency carry Neighbor relation between wave can be updated to the neighbor relation between first frequency carrier wave and third frequency carrier.By exemplary Mode provides such configuration, resides in embodiment outside node B 112 to show wherein SON function.However, it is also possible to mention For embodiment of the SON function inside node B 112.In this case, above procedure can be identical, in addition to communication connects Mouth can be inside node B 112, rather than arrive the interface of external network.

Fig. 3 is the block diagram according to exemplary, the modified node B 112 of one or more of this specification.In this example In, as in the figure 2 example, node B 112 is communicatively coupled to Femto cell 210.In the example of fig. 3, carrier wave 230 respectively have by way of example and contact the identical load of load disclosed in Fig. 2.Specifically, carrier wave F1 230-1 and F5 230-5 heavy duty.Carrier wave F2 230-2 is opposite to be lightly loaded.Carrier wave F3 203-3 and 203-4 F4 are unloaded.However in this example, C- SON 180 provides the configuration order for reassigning the neighborhood of carrier wave 230 to node B 112.

Specifically, carrier wave F1 230-1 has a relationship with carrier wave F3 230-3 now, rather than with carrier wave F2 230-2 Neighborhood.This allows the flooded traffic from heavily loaded carrier wave F1 230-1 to flow to zero load carrier wave F3 203-3.Similar, it carries Wave F5 230-5 is circulated back to carrier wave F4 230-4, rather than returns to carrier wave F1 230-1.Equally, this allows flux and flow direction phase To underloading carrier wave.

In some embodiments it is possible to which the scene for the multiple carrier waves for being reconfigured to optimally distribute neighborhood will be needed to refer to It is set to S, the scene label with such as S1 etc.There may be strategies associated with scene S1, such as strategy P1.Certain In embodiment, C-SON 180 can identify scene S1 in advance.Therefore, when the determination of C-SON 180 had encountered scene S1, C-SON 180 have just had the clear strategy P1 of processing scene S1.Specifically, tactful P1 needs neighborhood to be updated so that weight It carries carrier wave and is associated with opposite underloading carrier wave.Ideally, heavily loaded carrier wave is associated with unloaded carrier wave, and the opposite carrier wave that is lightly loaded also is associated with To unloaded carrier wave.

However, it will be recognized that considerable amount of flow may be directed to unloaded carrier wave (such as zero load carrier wave F3 230- by this 3).Therefore after a period of time, it may be necessary to the validity of strategy of the assessment in this particular instance.If it find that carrier wave F3 230-3 has become heavily loaded carrier wave, then subsequent neighborhood may need to be reconfigured into preferably to utilize available carrier wave.Furthermore exist In some embodiments, C-SON 180 can be configured as instruction node B 112 and return to its baseline configuration associated with scene S0 Tactful P0.This ensures that node B 112 will not rest on abnormal configuration a very long time.If it find that network item after any change Part deterioration, the change can be restored.

Fig. 4 is the block diagram according to the exemplary node B 112 of one or more of this specification.In this example, it proposes The scene S interfered between significant frequency may wherein occur, two of them frequency carrier has the value significantly separated.For example, Carrier wave F1 230-1 and F5 230-5 have stronger received signal strength indicator symbol (RSSI) and significant on its frequency carrier Separate.Therefore they are designated as " high interference " carrier wave.However carrier wave F2 230-2, F3 230-3 and F4 230-4 have Very close frequency carrier, and be therefore more likely to contain swash with clean (clean).These carrier waves are designated as relatively The carrier wave of " clean ".Therefore clean carrier wave is grouped together and to avoid high interference carrier wave by definition strategy P.

In this example, carrier wave F1 230-1, F2 230-2, F3 230-3 and F4 230-4 are linear with the tactful P0 of Fig. 1 Arrangement.However in Fig. 3, carrier wave F4 is not linked to downwards carrier wave F5 230-5, and carrier wave F5 230-5 does not feed and loops back to Carrier wave F1 230-1, this may be the candidate agents of interference.And F5 230-5 has the neighborhood with carrier wave F4 230-4.It carries Wave F4 230-4 feeding is looped back to carrier wave F2 230-2, creates the closed loop arrangement of clean carrier signal.Due to flow will allow flow into it is dry It net carrier block and will not cascade out, this arrangement facilitates exclusive PCR.

Fig. 5 is the block diagram according to the exemplary node B 112 of one or more of this specification.The example of Fig. 5 provides Wherein consider tactful P and scene S that power is saved.For example, one day specific time (such as at midnight and the morning 6) it Between, it may be unnecessary for providing five carrier waves 230.Therefore, it may be beneficial for closing one or more carrier waves.In this feelings Under condition, tactful P requires to shut down carrier wave F4 230-4 and F5 230-5 to save power.This make three carrier wave F1 230-1, F2230-2 and F3 230-3 can be used for servicing Femto cell 210.In the case, carrier wave F1 230-1, F2 230-2 and F3 230-3 is arranged in a manner of linear closed-loop, to provide closed loop function.This will ensure that flow neither flows to carrier wave F4 230-4 Carrier wave F5 230-5 is not flowed to.

Fig. 6 and 7 provides the block diagram of node B 112, and wherein Microcell 610-1 and 610-2 is also communicatively coupled to node B 112 and Femto cell 210.Microcell 610 can be the base station of intermediate level, compare section greatly than femtocell 210 Point B 112 is small.Microcell can be provided, such as to cover limited range, such as market, office building, hotel or high density quotient Industry area.In this case, 610-1 operation in Microcell is on 1087 frequency carriers, just as carrier wave F1 230-1.Microcell 610- On 2 412 frequency carriers of operation, just as carrier wave F2 230-2.Therefore, the connection between Microcell 610-1 and carrier wave 230-1 is recognized (intrafrequency) connects in frequency to be, and between Microcell 610-1 and any carrier wave in addition to carrier wave F1 230-1 Any connection be considered as connecting between frequency.Similar, the connection between Microcell 610-2 and carrier wave F2 230-2 is considered as Connection in frequency, and the connection between Microcell 610-2 and any carrier wave in addition to carrier wave F2 230-2 is considered as connecting between frequency It connects.

This scene S introduces additional complexity.It can be seen that connection 620 and 624 is two-way company in frequency in Fig. 6 It connects.This is because the F1 230-1 of carrier wave is not needed between two frequencies of " using up (use up) " assigned by it in neighbor relation Complete one come it is associated with Microcell 610-1.Therefore, carrier wave F1 230-1 can be formed and Microcell 610-1, Microcell 610-2, Femto cell 210 and carrier wave F2 230-2 neighbor relation.This will lead to a large amount of load and is loaded into carrier wave F1 230-1.On the contrary, connection 622 and 626 is unidirectionally to connect between frequency.

In order to alleviate this over load, feeding back to from heavily loaded carrier wave F5 230-5 to 230-1F1 is removed in Fig. 7 Road.This can prevent heavily loaded carrier wave F5 230-5 from continuing to guide additional flow to heavily loaded carrier wave F1 230-1.

Fig. 8 and 9 is the block diagram according to the exemplary node B 112 of one or more of this specification.In the example of fig. 8, Provide single Microcell 810.In this case, the operation of Microcell 810 is in frequency carrier identical with Femto cell 210 On (i.e. 9938).It therefore, is all connection in frequency to all connections of carrier wave 230.

Figure 10 and 11 is the block diagram according to the exemplary node B 112 of one or more of this specification.In this example, it carries Wave F1 230-1, F2 230-2 and F5 230-5 provide respective carrier frequency in frequency band 1900.Carrier wave F3 230-3 and F4 230-4 provides respective frequency in frequency band 850.Since with respective UARFCN, these frequency bands are able to manage and provide.

In this example, carrier wave F1 230-1 and F5 230-5 are heavily loaded carrier wave.Carrier wave F2 230-2 is that opposite underloading carries Wave.Carrier wave F3 230-3 and 230-4 F4 are unloaded carrier waves.In this case, all carrier load occurs in frequency band 1900 It is interior, there is no carrier load in 850 frequency bands.Therefore, flow is allowed to be cascaded to carrier wave F1 230-1 from carrier wave F5 230-5 It may not be useful.Since this still makes frequency band 1900 keep excessively crowded, between carrier wave F1 230-1 and F2 230-2 Neighborhood is also less useful.It can lead to the loss of KPI to this load of frequency band.

In Figure 11, the load on frequency band 1900 is mitigated.In this case, it provides and feeds back carrier wave F5 230-5 Return to the tactful P of carrier wave F3 230-3.This allows network flow more effectively " to break through " frequency band 1900 and be cascaded to 850 frequency bands On available bandwidth in.

Figure 12 and 13 be according to this specification one or more it is exemplary, disclose the dynamic integrity of new frequency carrier Node B 112 block diagram.In this example, carrier wave F1 230-1, F2 230-2, F3 230-3 and F4 230-4 have been integrated into Node B 112, and arranged according to linear feedback configuration strategy P0.Carrier wave F5 230-5 is added to node B 112.Once section Point B 112 reports the presence of new carrier wave F5 230-5 to C-SON 180, and C-SON 180 is provided with carrier wave F5 230-5 collection At the configuration-direct for arriving node B 112.In this case, it includes carrying that C-SON 180, which can be defined in the configuration of its linear feedback, The new baseline strategy P0 of wave F5 230-5.

In block 1430, C-SON 180 determines whether to have detected new scene Sn.If not detecting new scene Sn, Then in frame 1420,180 command node B 112 of C-SON continues to baseline strategy P0.In block 1440, if scene has changed, Then C-SON 180 identifies the tactful Pk of scene Sn and association.It should be pointed out that reflecting between scene Sn and strategy Pk It penetrates and needs not be one-to-one mapping.For example, multiple scenes can be mapped to identical strategy.In other examples, Duo Gece It slightly may map to identical scene, and additional logic can be provided to be selected in strategy.Therefore, to scene Sn and The specified of tactful Pk is clearly intended to include between strategy and scene that there are the feelings of one-to-one mapping on indirect and letter Condition.

In block 1450, SON 180 can measure one or more KPI, and to determine, network condition is after implementation strategy Pk It is no to have been improved.This may include, such as measures the signal strength of connection, checks load balance between each carrier wave 230, inspection It looks into go offline and cannot connect to the user of network with packet loss and inspection.However it should be pointed out that many other feedback mechanisms is can Can, and be intended to be included in this specification.Therefore, block 1450 indicates feedback operation, and wherein SON 180 decision plan changes Become and whether has generated positive effect, counter productive or neutral effect.

If situation does not improve, control can return to block 1420, wherein baseline strategy P0 can restore.Other In the case of, control can return to block 1440, thus SON 180 can decide whether exist more be consistent with present network conditions it is another One scene S.In this case, iterative process can be to the identification of correct scene and strategy.One or more strategies can be with Using one or many, and the effect applied every time can be measured to determine whether it has actually generated positive effect.

In block 1460, overtime measure is provided.In case of time-out, then controls and return to block 1420, and strategy P0 can be extensive It is multiple.This can prevent node B 112 from falling into lower than the path that in optimal strategy, do not leave.Use to this time-out It can prevent C-SON 180 from becoming increasingly " unused (lazy) ".In other words, C-SON 180 must be reappraised constantly at present Strategy, to determine whether to deposit the strategy for being more suitable for the situation of presence in the operating condition.

In block 1490, method is completed.
