Specifically, the receiving power difference threshold is determined according to the receiving performance requirement of the base station, when the receiving performance requirement of the base station is higher, the receiving power difference threshold is larger, and when the receiving performance requirement of the base station is lower, the receiving power difference threshold is smaller; the reference signal transmitting power of the micro station can be obtained by the macro station through monitoring the broadcast information of the micro station, and the transmitting power of the micro station on the almost blank subframe can be obtained by the macro station according to the reference signal transmitting power estimation of the micro station; the UE measurement information comprises the received power of the macro station reference signal and the received power of the micro station reference signal measured by all UE performing resource scheduling on the ABS subframe, the first average power is calculated according to the received power of the macro station reference signal of all the UE, and the second average power is calculated according to the received power of the micro station reference signal of all the UE; and calculating the transmitting power of the macro station on the almost blank subframe according to the transmitting power of the reference signal of the macro station, the transmitting power of the reference signal of the micro station, the first average power, the second average power, the transmitting power of the micro station on the almost blank subframe and the receiving power difference threshold.

It should be noted that, since the scheduled user equipments on each ABS subframe are not necessarily the same, RSRP is usedmacroAnd RSRPpicoMay also be different, and therefore, the transmit power of the macro station on each ABS subframe is also different.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a flowchart of a method for adjusting the transmission power of an almost blank subframe according to another embodiment of the present invention; in this embodiment, the technical solution of the present invention is further explained by taking fig. 1 as an example, and the method for adjusting the transmission power of the almost blank subframe includes the following steps:
step S410: acquiring position indication information of a micro station, resource utilization rate of almost blank subframes fed back by the micro station and user equipment measurement information; the position indication information comprises first receiving power of the micro station for receiving the macro station reference signal, and the user equipment measurement information comprises second receiving power of each user equipment for receiving the macro station reference signal and third receiving power of each user equipment for receiving the micro station reference signal.
In this step, the position indication information of the micro station is used for the position within the coverage of the macro station where the micro station is located, and may be represented as the received power of the macro station reference signal received by the micro station; the resource utilization rate of the almost blank subframe represents the proportion of resources used by the micro station for scheduling the user equipment on the ABS subframe in the available resources of the subframe; the UE measurement information includes the received power of the macro-station reference signal and the received power of the micro-station reference signal measured by all UE performing resource scheduling on the ABS subframe.
Taking fig. 1 as an example, the macro station 110 sends the ABS subframe pattern to the micro station 120, and the micro station 120 performs resource scheduling according to the ABS subframe pattern, and collects resource utilization of almost blank subframes and ue measurement information and feeds back the resource utilization and ue measurement information to the macro station 110. Wherein, the first receiving power of the micro station 120 receiving the reference signal of the macro station 110 is-95 dBm; as shown in fig. 5, an ABS subframe pattern sent by the macro station 110 is that the micro station 120 schedules the ue 131 on an ABS subframe in the ABS subframe pattern, schedules the ue 132 on a non-ABS subframe, and respectively counts resource utilization rates of the ABS subframes, where resource utilization rate of subframe 0 of frame 0 is 100%, resource utilization rate of subframe 6 of frame 0 is 90%, resource utilization rate of subframe 0 of frame 1 is 40%, second receiving power of the ue 131 receiving a reference signal of the macro station 110 is-90 dBm, and third receiving power of the ue 131 receiving a reference signal of the micro station 120 is-80 dBm.

In this step, it is assumed that the preset reference signal received power threshold is-88 dBm, and the first received power of the micro station 120 receiving the reference signal of the macro station 110 is-95 dBm, then the position of the micro station 120 is within the weak coverage of the macro station 110.
Step S430: judging whether the resource utilization rate of the almost blank subframe is smaller than a preset resource utilization rate threshold value, if not, skipping to the step S460; if yes, go to step S440.
After determining that the micro station 120 is located in the weak coverage area of the macro station 110, the power adjustment policy of each ABS subframe is determined one by one according to the resource utilization rate of the ABS subframes, as shown in step S410, the resource utilization rates of the ABS subframes are respectively that frame 0 subframe 0 is 100%, frame 0 subframe 6 is 90%, frame 1 subframe 0 is 40%, and the preset resource utilization threshold is 50%, it is known that the resource utilization rates of frame 0 subframe 0 and frame 0 subframe 6 in the ABS subframes are both greater than the preset resource utilization threshold, and the resource utilization rate of frame 1 subframe 0 is less than the preset resource utilization threshold.
Step S440: acquiring first average power of the macro station reference signal received by the user equipment according to each second received power; and acquiring second average power of the user equipment for receiving the micro station reference signal according to the third received powers.
Since the resource utilization of the subframe 0 of frame 1 is smaller than the preset resource utilization threshold, it is determined that the macro station 110 adjusts the transmission power on the subframe 0 of frame 1. The second receiving power of each user equipment receiving the macro station reference signal and the third receiving power of each user equipment receiving the micro station reference signal in the user equipment measurement information are used, that is, the average value of the receiving power of the macro station reference signal received by all the user equipment performing scheduling on the subframe 0 of the frame 1 and the average value of the receiving power of the micro station reference signal received by all the user equipment performing scheduling on the subframe 0 of the frame 1 are obtained; the user equipment scheduled on the subframe 0 of frame 1 has only the user equipment 131, and thus is directly calculated according to the second received power of the reference signal received by the user equipment 131 from the macro station 110 and the third received power of the reference signal received by the micro station 120.
Step S450: and calculating the transmitting power of the macro station on the almost blank subframe according to the transmitting power of the reference signal of the macro station, the transmitting power of the reference signal of the micro station, the first average power, the second average power, the transmitting power of the micro station on the almost blank subframe and the receiving power difference threshold.
In this step, the macro station 110 may obtain the reference signal transmission power of the micro station 120 by monitoring the broadcast information of the micro station 120, and estimate the transmission power of the micro station 120 on the almost blank subframe; the reference signal transmit power of the macro station 110 is a parameter known to the macro station 110; the received power difference threshold may be obtained by testing or simulating the base station, and the transmitted power of the macro station 110 on the almost blank subframe is obtained by fast calculating the reference signal transmitted power of the macro station 110, the reference signal transmitted power of the micro station 120, the first average power, the second average power, the transmitted power of the micro station 120 on the almost blank subframe, and the received power difference threshold.
Step S460: the transmit power of the macro station on almost blank subframes is adjusted to a value of zero.
In the embodiment, a power adjustment strategy of an ABS subframe of a macro station is determined by combining the coverage of the macro station where the micro station is located, the resource utilization rate of the ABS subframe used by the micro station and the UE measurement information for performing resource scheduling on the ABS subframe, when the micro station is in the strong coverage of the macro station, the power of a PDCCH and a PDSCH on the ABS subframe is directly limited to be 0, and when the micro station is in the weak coverage of the macro station and the utilization rate of the ABS subframe is low, the transmitting power of the ABS subframe is adjusted according to the UE measurement information for performing resource scheduling on the ABS subframe, the ABS subframe and a non-zero ABS subframe are not distinguished, the interference condition of the micro station by the macro station and the utilization rate condition of the ABS subframe are comprehensively considered, the ABS subframe power adjustment criterion is more accurately implemented, and the resource utilization rate of a system is effectively improved.
