It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
It should be understood that the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to any wireless communication system of 2G (Second Generation), 3G (Third Generation), and 4G (Fourth Generation) systems under the wireless communication system. The embodiment of the invention takes an LTE (Long Term Evolution) communication system in a 4G wireless communication system as an example.
For better understanding of the present solution, first, a frame structure of an LTE communication system closely related to the present invention is introduced, and fig. 1 exemplarily shows a frame structure schematic diagram of a TDD-LTE communication system provided by an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, each radio frame of the TDD-LTE communication system is 10ms long, each radio frame is divided into two half-frames of 5ms, each half-frame includes 5 subframes of 1ms, each subframe includes two time slots, each time slot is 0.5ms long, where a 1 st frame, i.e., subframe #0, is a fixed downlink subframe; frame 2 and frame 7 are special subframes, and include DwPTS (Downlink Pilot Time Slot), GP (Gap Protect), UpPTS (Uplink Pilot Time Slot); subframe #2, which is the 3 rd frame, is a fixed uplink subframe, and similarly, in fig. 1, subframe #3, subframe #5, and subframe #8 are fixed downlink subframes, and subframe #4, subframe #7, and subframe #9 are fixed uplink subframes. The TDD-LTE communication system is suitable for uplink and downlink symmetric and asymmetric service modes by flexibly configuring the number of uplink and downlink subframes, and the uplink and downlink subframes are separated by a switching point.
Fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart illustrating a shielding method of a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, including the following steps:
step S101: acquiring configuration information of a cell to be shielded through air interface interception, wherein the configuration information comprises cell frequency points, frame timing, time slot timing and receiving power;
step S102: determining a time-frequency position occupied by a reference pilot signal of a cell to be shielded according to frame timing and time slot timing;
step S103: generating a same frequency interference signal according to the frequency point and the receiving power of the cell;
step S104: and loading the co-channel interference signal to a time-frequency position occupied by the reference pilot signal.
In step S101, configuration information of a cell to be shielded is obtained through air interface sensing, where the configuration information includes a cell frequency point, a frame timing, a time slot timing, and a received power, specifically, a cell of a full frequency band is sensed through an air interface, and more specifically, a carrier of the full frequency band cell is sensed through the air interface sensing to obtain the configuration information of the cell to be shielded, where the configuration information includes not only the cell frequency point, the frame timing, the time slot timing, and the received power information, but also a cell ID (Identifier), antenna information, CP (Cyclic Prefix) information, information of an uplink and downlink switching point, and the like. The interception is not limited to air interface interception, and other interception methods may be used as long as the configuration information of the cell of the wireless communication system in the shielding range can be obtained, where the purpose of interception is to obtain the cell configuration information of the cell of the wireless communication system in the shielding range. Wherein, the shielding range refers to the coverage range of the signal shielding system capable of realizing signal shielding. In specific implementation, for different wireless communication systems, since the frequency band, system, power, channel and other specific system parameters are different, for example, regarding the frequency band: the specific monitored signal frequency band may include 869-894 MHz, 825-960 MHz, 1805-1880 MHz and the like, and more specifically, for example, for a GSM900(Global System for Mobile Communication) System, the downlink frequency band ranges include 935-954 MHz and 954-960 MHz; for a CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) system, the downlink frequency range is 870-880 MHz; for a WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) system, the downlink frequency range is 2130-2145 MHz, so the specific process for implementing interception is different. Although the specific interception process is different, the specific interception process can be realized through a cell search process in a corresponding wireless communication system, the whole frequency band of a cell under the wireless communication system possibly existing in a shielding range is searched, downlink synchronization is carried out on the searched cell, and cell configuration information of the cell under the wireless communication system possibly existing is obtained. By monitoring the obtained information of frequency point, ID, frame timing, time slot timing, uplink and downlink switching point, etc., of the cell to be shielded, the time interval for transmitting the co-channel interference signal can be determined. Thereby determining the transmission time period for transmitting the co-channel interference signals to the cell to be shielded by the shielding system.
In step S102, a time-frequency position occupied by a reference pilot signal of the cell to be shielded is determined according to the frame timing and the time slot timing, and specifically, a downlink time-frequency position to be shielded of the cell to be shielded can be determined according to the frame timing and the time slot timing information obtained by the listening, where the time-frequency position to be shielded is the time-frequency position occupied by the reference pilot signal. According to the searched frame timing and time slot timing information of the cell to be shielded, the downlink time-frequency position to be shielded of the cell to be shielded can be determined, so that the shielding system can pertinently transmit the same-frequency interference signal according to the determined downlink time-frequency position to be shielded of the cell to be shielded, the efficiency can be improved, and the resource can be saved.
In step S103, co-channel interference signals are generated according to the cell frequency points and the received power, and in specific implementation, for example, the cell frequency points of the GSM900 system are all frequency points included in the downlink frequency band range thereof, and the cell frequency points of the GSM1800 system are all frequency points included in the downlink frequency band range thereof. According to the frequency point and the receiving power of the searched cell, the same frequency interference signal can be generated. The co-channel interference signal is simply interference between channels in the same frequency band, and more specifically, the co-channel interference signal is interference caused by a receiver that receives the co-channel useful signal, where a carrier frequency of the non-useful signal is the same as a carrier frequency of the useful signal.
In step S104, the same frequency interference signal is loaded to the time frequency position occupied by the reference pilot signal. Specifically, the generated co-channel interference signal is loaded to a time-frequency position of the cell to be shielded, and more specifically, the co-channel interference signal is loaded to a time-frequency position occupied by a reference pilot signal of the cell to be shielded. For better explaining the method, fig. 3 exemplarily shows a schematic diagram of a downlink timeslot structure of an LTE communication system, as shown in fig. 3, two downlink timeslots are included, each timeslot includes 7 symbols, where l ═ 0 represents the first symbol of the downlink timeslot, and so on. In specific implementation, the loaded co-channel interference signal may be any signal unrelated to the downlink channel of the cell to be shielded, the co-channel interference signal is loaded to the first symbol and the fifth symbol position in one downlink time slot in fig. 3, the co-channel interference signal is controlled to be transmitted in the time slot, and other time slots may be closed, so that the co-channel interference signal does not need to be transmitted in the whole time slot position, and only the co-channel interference signal needs to be loaded and transmitted in the symbol position occupied by the reference pilot signal of the downlink time slot, which can effectively save energy and reduce cost. After loading the same frequency interference signal to the time frequency position of the downlink time slot of the cell to be shielded, then transmitting any signal which is not associated with the downlink channel in the time domain to cause the same frequency interference, so that the terminal in the cell to be shielded can not demodulate and analyze the shielded signal, thereby achieving the purpose of shielding the communication signal of each terminal in the cell to be shielded.
Optionally, obtaining configuration information of the cell to be masked through air interface listening includes: and carrying out full-band cell search and cell synchronization through air interface interception. Specifically, the air interface listening searches a possibly existing full-band cell, and performs downlink synchronization with the searched cell to be shielded to obtain the configuration information of the searched cell to be shielded. Only if the configuration information of the cell to be shielded is obtained, the shielding system can synchronize the configuration information to the corresponding position of the downlink subframe, and further the time period of the shielding system for transmitting the co-channel interference signal can be determined.
In the technical scheme of the invention, before the shielding system loads the co-channel interference signal to the time-frequency position occupied by the reference pilot signal, the size of the co-channel interference signal can be adjusted by any one of the following two ways to adapt to the range size of the cell to be shielded:
mode 1: optionally, before loading the co-channel interference signal to the time-frequency position occupied by the reference pilot signal, the method further includes: determining the demodulation SIR (Signal-to-Interference ratio) requirement of a cell to be shielded according to air interface interception; and adjusting the power of the co-channel interference signal according to the demodulation SIR requirement. In a specific implementation, the demodulation SIR requirement is that the subframe of the wireless communication system that is masked cannot be used for channel estimation or demodulation.
Mode 2: optionally, before loading the co-channel interference signal to the time-frequency position occupied by the reference pilot signal, the method further includes: determining the size of a region of a cell to be shielded; and adjusting the power of the same-frequency interference signal according to the area size of the cell to be shielded. In specific implementation, before loading the co-frequency interference signal to the time-frequency position of the time slot to be shielded, the power of the co-frequency interference signal can be adjusted in a configurable manner through real-time survey and test and power parameterization of a wireless communication system, wherein the power is enhanced and reduced, and the co-frequency interference signal after power adjustment is loaded to the time-frequency position of the time slot to be shielded. For example, a signal of a whole room with a large space is shielded, and because the room space is large, the loaded same-frequency interference signal does not cover the whole room completely, a shielding blind area exists; for another example, because the coverage of the co-channel interference signal exceeds the shielding range to be shielded, this situation may occur that the signal in a part of the non-shielding region is shielded. Therefore, before loading the co-channel interference signal to the time-frequency position of the time slot to be shielded, the power of the co-channel interference signal needs to be adjusted according to the area size of the cell to be shielded, so as to more effectively shield the communication signal of the cell to be shielded. The size of the co-channel interference signal to be loaded is adaptively adjusted according to the size of the range of the cell to be shielded, so that the shielding blind area and the adverse effect on the coverage of the non-shielding public area can be avoided.
In specific implementation, in addition to the two ways of adjusting the size of the co-channel interference signal to adapt to the range size of the cell to be shielded, power estimation can be performed on the time-frequency position occupied by the reference pilot signal of the cell to be shielded, and the power of the co-channel interference signal can be adjusted according to the time-frequency position occupied by the reference pilot signal of the cell to be shielded after power estimation and the demodulation SIR requirement, so that the size of the co-channel interference signal to be loaded can be adaptively adjusted according to the size of the range of the cell to be shielded, and the shielding blind area and the adverse effect caused by the coverage of the non-shielded public area can also be avoided.
In summary, in the above embodiment, the size of the co-channel interference signal can be adjusted according to any one of three ways to adapt to the range size of the cell to be shielded: 1. adjusting the size of the same frequency interference signal according to the demodulation SIR requirement of the cell to be shielded determined by air interface interception to adapt to the range size of the cell to be shielded; 2. adjusting the size of the same frequency interference signal according to the area size of the cell to be shielded so as to adapt to the range size of the cell to be shielded; 3. and adjusting the size of the co-channel interference signal according to the time-frequency position occupied by the reference pilot signal of the cell to be shielded after the power is estimated and the demodulation SIR requirement so as to adapt to the range size of the cell to be shielded. It is obvious from the above three ways that the way of adjusting the size of the co-channel interference signal to adapt to the range size of the cell to be shielded has the characteristics of diversity and flexibility.
Optionally, the co-channel interfering signal is random noise or a pseudo-random PN code. In specific implementation, the co-channel interference signal may be, for example, random Noise, or PN (Pseudo Noise) code.

the obtaining unit 201: the method comprises the steps that configuration information of a cell to be shielded is obtained through air interface interception, and the configuration information comprises cell frequency points, frame timing, time slot timing and receiving power;
the determination unit 202: the time-frequency position occupied by the reference pilot signal of the cell to be shielded is determined according to the frame timing and the time slot timing;
the generation unit 203: the system is used for generating a same frequency interference signal according to the cell frequency point and the receiving power;
the loading unit 204: and the method is used for loading the co-channel interference signal to the time-frequency position occupied by the reference pilot signal.
Optionally, the obtaining unit 201 is specifically configured to:
and carrying out full-band cell search and cell synchronization through air interface interception.
Optionally, the loading unit 204 is further configured to:
determining the SIR requirement of a cell to be shielded according to air interface interception;
and adjusting the power of the co-channel interference signal according to the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) requirement.
Optionally, the loading unit 204 is further configured to:
determining the size of a region of a cell to be shielded;
and adjusting the power of the same-frequency interference signal according to the area size of the cell to be shielded.
Optionally, the co-channel interfering signal is random noise or a pseudo-random PN code.
