Description

Method in the heterogeneous network of lte-a system for avoiding invalid load balancing
Technical field
The present invention relates to wireless communication techniques, and in particular, to a kind of for being used to keep away in the heterogeneous network of lte-a system Exempt from the method for invalid load balancing.
Background technique
Additional demand in terms of in order to meet in Cellular Networks, LTE-A network service capacity and/or coverage area, energy Enough cells (such as Microcell) that low-power is disposed among macrocell.It is formed by network and is commonly referred to as heterogeneous network (HetNet:heterogeneous network).Specifically, the Microcell (also referred to as micro-base station PeNB) of multiple open visits When being deployed among the coverage area of macrocell (also referred to as macro base station MeNB), some user equipmenies (UE) then can be by multiple micro- Cell services, to reach the benefit of load balancing.
Among lte-a system, when base station sends reference symbol (for different base stations mutually orthogonal), each User equipment can measure the power from surrounding base station (including its serving BS) received reference symbol.Also, it is any one The reference symbol that a user equipment can be measured receives power (RSRP:reference symbol received Power) its serving BS is given in report.For any one user equipment (UE)j, useIndicate the cell index of its peripheral base station Set.Also, use RSRPijIndicate UEjThe power from the received reference symbol of base station i of measurement, then conventional based on survey The cell association criterion that the reference symbol of amount receives power can be expressed as follows:
And in the case where macro Microcell is total to channel deployment, if cell association criterion still as formula (1) gives, Compared to Microcell, there will be more user equipmenies to be associated with macrocell, this is because the transmission power ratio of Microcell is macro small The transimission power in area is much smaller.In this case, the available resources of Microcell are not fully utilized, and macro small Qu Zhong, can be very fierce for the competition of available resources.It is potentially loaded as provided by Microcell to more efficiently utilize Equalization function, for any one user equipment (UE)jFor, cell association standard (2) below will be proposed to be used in macro small Area is total to the heterogeneous network of channel deployment:
Cell_IDserving=arg max{i}{RSRPij+ε·biasi} (2)
Wherein,And ε=0 when i is macrocell index, and ε=1 when i belongs to Microcell index.
In above formula (2), when i belongs to Microcell index, bias biasiFor a nonnegative value, to make There must be more user equipmenies that can be serviced by Microcell.Microcell extending user is given since the use of bias is equivalent to The ability of the associated range of equipment, therefore this process is referred to as the coverage extension (RE:range of Microcell Extension), above-mentioned bias is also referred to as coverage extension bias.
Currently, in LTE version -10 (Rel-10), recommendation is arranged in a manner of cell specific (cell-specific) Coverage extension bias.Also, in view of the simplicity realized, in LTE Rel-10, recommend for all small Area is respectively provided with identical coverage extension bias, as shown in following formula (3):
Cell_IDserving=arg max{i}{RSRRPij+ ε bias } (3),
Wherein,And ε=0 when i is macrocell index, and ε=1 when i belongs to Microcell index.
Based on 3GPP a large amount of assessment reports done in relevant standardization effort, it can be deduced that following conclusion:
(1) the case where coverage extension is not done for Microcell, for down control channel, it is dry that there is no minizones Problem is disturbed, and for downstream data channel, reuses the inter-cell interference cancellation (ICIC) in LTE version -8 or 9 (Rel-8/9) Technology can well solve problem of inter-cell interference.
(2) however, being observed by 3GPP in the situation for the coverage extension bias scheme currently recommended for using More user equipmenies can be allowed to be serviced by corresponding Microcell although increasing coverage extension bias, it is macro at this time small Interference between area and corresponding Microcell can make the user equipment for being associated with corresponding Microcell undergo lower Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (especially It is for the user equipment in corresponding small area edge) so that the user for being associated with corresponding Microcell sets The probability of the raw down control channel transmission failure of preparation is increased.In addition, when coverage extension bias is larger, this by Will be very serious the problem of down control channel caused by inter-cell interference, and the ICIC technology in LTE Rel-8/9 is simultaneously The problem of inter-cell interference of the down control channel cannot be efficiently solved.Further, since good control channel performance It is the prerequisite of data channel Successful transmissions, so if the problem of inter-cell interference of the down control channel cannot obtain To very good solution, then the performance of data channel will be seriously affected.
In other words, in the coverage extension bias scheme currently recommended, model is covered by Microcell using by 3GPP Enclose extension caused by respective load equilibrium may as present on down control channel inter-cell interference and become invalid. Specifically, if coverage extension bias set by Microcell is bigger, then caused by being extended as picocell coverage area The ratio of inactive loads equilibrium will be higher.
In order to solve the problem of inter-cell interference of above-mentioned down control channel, it has been proposed that many is " enhanced small (eICIC:enhanced ICIC) is eliminated in section interference " technical solution.These eICIC technical solutions can generally be divided into two Kind, respectively resource orthogonalization splitting scheme and power adjustment scheme.
The basic thought of resource orthogonalization splitting scheme be will be used for the radio resource of down control channel in macro base station and It is orthogonally distributed between micro-base station, to reduce mutual interference as far as possible.Including time division multiplexing and frequency division multiplexing Two kinds of technology.
Since the signal transmitted on down control channel will be transmitted on entire frequency band, so frequency division is multiple Technical solution is not suitable for the problem of inter-cell interference for being used to solve above-mentioned down control channel.
Time-multiplexed technical solution mainly includes almost blank subframe (ABS:Almost Blank Subframe) technology (time shifting) technology is translated with time domain.
In by the ABS technical solution of 3GPP standardization institute's keypoint recommendation, as the macro base station of interference source, in certain configurations At the subframe of ABS, does not carry out data transmission on Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), only transmit cell specific reference signal Baseband signals such as (CRS:Cell-specific Reference Signal).Obviously, in the subframe for being configured to ABS, not Have and carry out data transmission on Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), i.e., does not carry out data transmission on a data channel.This Outside, during the realization of ABS technology, the interference of time domain letter packet must via the communication link between certain base station, such as based on The backhaul link of X2 interface, swaps between neighboring community.However, ABS technology still suffers from " CRS is to control signal " Interference problem, the reason is that even if transmission CRS is still required in macro cell base station in almost blank subframe.More importantly, this The inherent shortcoming of time division multiplexing ICIC technology is reduction of available time-domain resource in macrocell, so as to cause user in macrocell The throughput performance of equipment reduces;It is that it is eliminated using ABS on a control channel if there is multiple Microcells need macro base station Inter-cell interference, this problem will be protruded extremely.In addition, when this time-division multiplex technology of ABS is applied to frequency division duplex (FDD) system When system, a bit reduction is not had to the strict requirements of time synchronization, this will bring no small difficulty in realization.
In addition, time domain translation (time shifting) technology is similarly all in the presence of that cannot completely eliminate inter-cell interference etc. More disadvantages.
Power adjustment scheme includes: the reduction emission of downlink control channel power at the macro base station as interference source, and The increasing of emission of downlink control channel power is carried out to the user equipment for being located at corresponding small area edge at disturbed micro-base station By force.But since the former can reduce the effective coverage range of macrocell and may cause covering dead angle, and the latter may mistake More consumption power resources and user's scheduling gains that corresponding Microcell can be reduced, so in the deployment of actual commercial network, It is not recommended that being used.
In summary, it would be desirable to consider that the coverage extension bias scheme for designing a kind of enhancing is invalid for avoiding By the load balancing caused by coverage extension, while the program will not also have the shortcomings that existing eICIC technical solution.
Summary of the invention
According to it is above-mentioned to background technique and understanding, the invention proposes in lte-a system Method in heterogeneous network for avoiding invalid load balancing, this method are not intended to how to optimize existing eICIC technical side Case, but optimize coverage extension biasing technique scheme when establishing the incidence relation of user equipment and cell to realization pair The ingenious performance evaded and optimize whole system in turn of inter-cell interference.
It is used to avoid invalid load balancing in the user equipment of the heterogeneous network of lte-a system described according to the present invention Method, wherein the heterogeneous network includes that at least one macro base station, at least one micro-base station and at least one described user set Standby, at least one described micro-base station will open coverage extension ability, the described method comprises the following steps:
A. the user equipment is based on the reference between the user equipment and at least one described micro-base station calculated Symbol receives power plus the sum of coverage extension bias gained set by corresponding micro-base station and is calculated described Reference symbol between user equipment and at least one described macro base station receives power to obtain the interim clothes of the user equipment Business cell index;
B. if transient service cell index be a macro base station at least one described macro base station index or The index that maximum reference symbol receives the base station of power is generated in all macro base stations and micro-base station at the user equipment, then First base station with the transient service cell index is determined as to the serving BS of the user equipment;
C. otherwise, the base station with the transient service cell index must be micro-base station and the interim cell It also must be caused by coverage extension is done in corresponding Microcell to the incidence relation of user equipment, then basis is faced by described at this time When serving cell index determined by the user equipment the horizontal relationship between predetermined threshold of Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio to determine State the serving BS of user equipment, wherein the step (C) further comprises:
C1: if the Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio level is more than or equal to the predetermined threshold, there will be the transient service The first base station of cell index is determined as the serving BS of the user equipment;
C2: if the Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio level is less than the predetermined threshold, judge whether only include one in all base stations A micro-base station;
If only including a micro-base station in all base stations, the user equipment directly according to the user equipment with Reference symbol between each base station receives the size of power to determine its serving BS;
If including being greater than or equal to two micro-base stations, the cell rope from all base stations in all base stations The step of rejecting the transient service cell index in the set drawn, then re-executing the method.
Among one embodiment according to the present invention, at least one described micro-base station be arranged different bias or Identical bias.Those skilled in the art it is to be appreciated that the scheme based on coverage extension can be arranged it is identical or The different bias of person, the bias determine as the case may be.
Among one embodiment according to the present invention, when being that at least one described micro-base station is provided with identical bias When, (C2) simplifies the step of the method are as follows:
If the Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio level is less than the predetermined threshold, the user equipment is directly set according to the user The standby reference symbol between each base station receives the size of power to determine its serving BS.
Among one embodiment according to the present invention, the load balancing is the coverage extension institute by Microcell It realizes, and the invalid load balancing refers to the user equipment that allows caused by the coverage extension by Microcell It can make the downlink control channel of the user equipment that there is unacceptable letter by the result that the first micro-base station is serviced It is dry to make an uproar than level.
Among one embodiment according to the present invention, the predetermined threshold is that the target letter of downlink control channel is dry It makes an uproar than or for the target Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio of the downlink control channel and the target Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio of down-link data channel In biggish one, wherein the target Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio of the down-link data channel can be used for down-link data channel All alternative Modulation and Coding Scheme grades corresponding to minimum value in down-link data channel target Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio.
Among one embodiment according to the present invention, when the user equipment is in connection mode and is currently by one A macro base station is servicing, when the user equipment consider from the macro base station currently serviced for the user equipment be switched to by Another base station services, if the method will terminate afterwards executing the step (C1) according to the present invention, at this time in step Suddenly the resulting Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio level of estimation used in (C1) is referred to as the first Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio level, and the mesh switched at this time Mark base station one is set to a micro-base station.
Among one embodiment according to the present invention, the first Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio level can be comprised in be worked as by described The preceding switching request that the micro-base station as handover-target base station is sent to for the macro base station that the user equipment is serviced Among message, so that the micro-base station as handover-target base station can assist it according to the first Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio level For whether receiving the switching request and making decision, and assist it after determining to receive the switching request will to switch The interface-free resources that will use are made planning by the user equipment to come over.This point it is not mandatory that, but it is optional.? That is the first Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio level both can be contained in by the current macro base station hair serviced for user equipment Among the switching request message for giving the micro-base station as handover-target base station, it can not also be comprised in by described current The switching request for being sent to the micro-base station as handover-target base station for the macro base station that the user equipment is serviced disappears Among breath.Even if the first Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio level is not comprised in by the macro base currently serviced for the user equipment Station is sent among the switching request message of the micro-base station as handover-target base station, micro- base as handover-target base station Stand also can for whether receive switching request make decision and determine receive the switching request after will switch The interface-free resources that will use are made planning by user equipment.But when the first Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio level is comprised in by described current For the macro base station that user equipment is serviced be sent to the micro-base station as handover-target base station switching request message it When middle, the micro-base station as handover-target base station can be according to the first Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio level come for whether receiving described cut It changes request and makes more reasonable decision, and the user equipment after decision receives the switching request for that will switch will The interface-free resources used make more reasonable planning.
If using by 3GPP in the coverage extension bias scheme currently recommended, must be with existing one kind It eICIC technical solution (such as 3GPP recommended ABS technical solution) while using, downlink control could be solved to a certain extent The problem of inter-cell interference of channel processed, and can also make the bad of the shortcomings that system performance is by existing eICIC technical solution Influence, for example, using caused by ABS technical solution to the reduction of time domain communication resource utilization and still can remaining CRS to control The interference etc. of channel processed.
But if using enhancing proposed by the invention coverage extension bias scheme, it is any without using A kind of existing eICIC technical solution, because the inter-cell interference of down control channel is in enhancing proposed by the invention Coverage extension bias scheme among dexterously advised (namely when establishing the incidence relation of user equipment and cell) It keeps away.Specifically, it among method according to the present invention, is just realized by micro- when meeting certain Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio level requirement User equipment caused by the coverage extension of cell is associated with corresponding Microcell, and is being unsatisfactory for above-mentioned Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio water It puts down and then realizes traditional cell association for receiving power (RSRP) based on reference symbol when requiring, to efficiently solve The problem of inter-cell interference for the down control channel stated.
In addition, when the coverage extension bias to Microcell is set, since bias can neither be too big (too Conference causes excessively serious interference) can not it is too small (it is too small, be not achieved through coverage extension and realize load balancing Purpose), in the standardization effort of current 3GPP, determined using experiment simulation based on empirical appropriate Bias.But such bias determined by experiment simulation is all that the network environment that is based on experiment simulation is close It is relevant, and network environment is diversified in the deployment of actual network, it is difficult to ensure that being based on some specific network Environment, which carries out bias determined by experiment simulation, can be suitable for various network environments;Meanwhile for each allusion quotation The network environment of type all goes to carry out experiment simulation, and workload will be huge (even unpractical).
If it is imitative not need to carry out any experiment using the coverage extension bias scheme of enhancing proposed by the invention Very, only need simply by bias be set as a biggish value can (be set as here it is larger rather than it is smaller be because It is exactly to be contrary to very much this if being set as lesser value to realize load balancing to do the purpose of coverage extension to Microcell Purpose).Because the inter-cell interference of down control channel (is namely establishing use among scheme proposed by the invention When the incidence relation of family equipment and cell) dexterously evaded, there is no need to worry to be covered in the presence of invalid by Microcell Load balancing caused by range extension.Even for certain specific network environments, set bias is excessive, so that The overwhelming majority can be extended originally by picocell coverage area and bring load balancing finally will not all occur (because it will be It is invalid to be therefore described by the present invention scheme and evaded), base station can in time be determined by the assessment to load balancing effect It is fixed that the size of bias is adjusted.

Fig. 1 shows the flow chart 100 of method according to the present invention.As can be seen from the figure: described according to the present invention For avoiding the method 100 of invalid load balancing in the heterogeneous network of lte-a system, wherein heterogeneous network includes at least one Macro base station, at least one micro-base station and at least one user equipment, at least one micro-base station will open coverage extension energy Power, method includes the following steps:
Firstly, in step 110, user equipment is based on the ginseng between the user equipment calculated and at least one micro-base station It examines symbol and receives power plus the sum of coverage extension bias gained set by corresponding micro-base station and the use calculated Reference symbol between family equipment and at least one macro base station receives power to obtain the transient service cell index of user equipment;
Specifically, such as by the index of macrocell be identified as { 0 }, and by the cell index set identification of Microcell be 1, 2,3,4 ..., K } (it is assumed that there is K micro-base station around the user equipment).Cell index is the corresponding base station of k at any one Reference symbol caused by user equipment with user index j receives power and is denoted as Xkj, unit is watt, wherein k belongs to In 0,1,2,3,4 ..., K in any one.Among one embodiment according to the present invention, at least one is micro- for described in Different bias or identical bias is arranged in base station.Those skilled in the art based on coverage area it is to be appreciated that expanded Same or different bias can be arranged in the scheme of exhibition, which determines as the case may be.
Specifically, in step 110, when setting different coverage extension bias for different Microcells, The transient service cell index of user equipment j is determined by the following formula:
Wherein, ΩcurrFor the set of alternative transient service cell index, initial value is set to Ωcurr=0,1, 2,3,4,...,K}.In above-mentioned formula (4), when k is that macrocell indexes, ε=0 (will not do coverage area for macrocell Extension), and when k belongs to Microcell index, ε=1.
Next, in the step 120, if transient service cell index is one at least one described macro base station macro The index of base station or generating maximum reference symbol at the user equipment in all macro base stations and micro-base station receives function First base station with transient service cell index is then determined as the service base of the user equipment by the index of the base station of rate It stands.
Specifically, if Cell_IDScrving, tmp=0 or Cell_IDServing, tmp=arg max{ k=0,1 ..., K } {Xkj, then it is Cell_ID by cell indexServing, tmpFirst base station be determined as the serving BS of user equipment j, at this time should Method also just finishes.
Otherwise, in following step 130, the base station with the transient service cell index must be micro-base station, And interim " incidence relation of cell and user equipment " also must be to do coverage extension by corresponding Microcell It is caused, at this time then according to the Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio of the user equipment determined by transient service cell index level and predetermined threshold Between relationship determine the serving BS of the user equipment.
Specifically, for receiving end, that is, user equipment of downlink, P is usednoiseIndicate additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) mean power, unit are watt.PnoiseIt can be calculated using the following formula: Pnoise=Pnoise per Hz× Working bandwidth × noise figure, wherein Pnoise perHz=10-174[dBm]/10×10-3(unit is watt), Working bandwidth indicates bandwidth of operation, is given system parameter, and noise figure indicates noise coefficient, It is respectively 10 for ITU channel model or 3GPP SCM channel model7[dB]/10Or 109[dB]/10.For simplification For the sake of, the mean power of the additive white Gaussian noise at different user equipmenies uniformly uses parameter PnoiseIt is identified.With SINRCCH target[dB] indicates the target Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio of downlink control channel realization Successful transmissions in lte-a system, For the system parameter with given value.
Step 130 further includes steps of
In summary, in sub-step 132, if the user equipment determined by the transient service cell index Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio level be more than or equal to predetermined threshold, then the first base station with transient service cell index is determined as institute State the serving BS of user equipment;
Specifically, if Cell_IDServing, tmp≠ 0 and Cell_IDScrving, tmp≠arg max{ k=0,1 ..., K }{Xkj, Then cell index is Cell_IDScrving, tmpBase station must be micro-base station, and described interim " index is Cell_ IDScrving, tmpCell and user equipment j incidence relation " also must be by cell index be Cell_DServing, tmpIt is small Caused by coverage extension is done in area, SINR is set by the predetermined threshold of Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio level at this timeCCH target, then judge with Whether lower formula (5) is true:
Wherein i=Cell_IDServing, tmp
It is Cell_D by cell index at this time if formula (5) is set upServing, tmpFirst base station be determined as user and set The serving BS of standby j, this method also just finishes at this time.
On the contrary, if above equation (5) is invalid, that is to say, that in sub-step 134, if by the interim clothes The Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio level of the user equipment determined by cell index of being engaged in is less than predetermined threshold, then judge in all base stations whether Only include a micro-base station;
If only including a micro-base station in all base stations, the user equipment directly according to the user equipment with Reference symbol between each base station receives the size of power to determine its serving BS.It specifically, is arg by cell index max{ k=0,1 ..., K }{XkjBase station be determined as the serving BS of user equipment j, this method also just finishes at this time;
If including being greater than or equal to two micro-base stations in all base stations, from the set of the cell index of all base stations Middle rejecting transient service cell index, the step of then re-executing the method.Specifically, Ω is updatedcurrFor Ωcurr= Ωcurr-Cell_IDSecring, tmP, the step of being then return to step 110, re-execute the method.
Among one embodiment according to the present invention, when being that at least one described micro-base station is provided with identical covering model When enclosing extension bias, the step 134 of the method simplifies are as follows:
If the Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio level of the user equipment determined by the transient service cell index is less than described Predetermined threshold, then the user equipment directly receives power according to the reference symbol between the user equipment and each base station Size determines its serving BS.It specifically, is arg max by cell index{ k=0,1 ..., K }{XkjBase station be determined as user The serving BS of equipment j, this method also just finishes at this time.
Among one embodiment according to the present invention, the predetermined threshold of the Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio level be can be set to down The target of Uplink Control Channel believes dry (the i.e. SINR that makes an uproarCCH target), that is, as shown in above-mentioned formula (5).Meanwhile more into One step, which may be set to be the target Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio and down-link data channel of downlink control channel Target Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio in biggish one, wherein the target Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio of the down-link data channel be downlink The letter of down-link data channel target corresponding to the adoptable all alternative Modulation and Coding Scheme grades of data channel is dry to make an uproar Minimum value than in.
Specifically, the target Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio of the down-link data channel is denoted asOn at this point, The formula (5) that stating will use in step 130 will be rewritten as following formula:
Wherein, i=Cell_IDServing, tmp
