Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be obtained by a person skilled in the art without any inventive step based on the embodiments of the present invention, are within the scope of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a communication method according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The communication method provided by the invention comprises the following steps:
s101: the base station receives the communication condition information transmitted from the at least one relay node.
Please refer to fig. 2, which is a schematic diagram of resource allocation of a relay node for convenience of description. As shown in fig. 2, the resources 10 of the relay node include a control message transmission band 11, a backhaul link dedicated band 12, a shared band 13, and a terminal dedicated band 14. Of course, the resource allocation in other embodiments of the present invention is not limited to that shown in fig. 2, and all embodiments of the present invention are applicable as long as there is an implementation scenario of the shared frequency band 13.
In this implementation scenario, there is no sub-6GHz frequency, and a reliable and stable link is required as a link for exchanging control layer messages, so the control message transmission band 11 is not a band that can be shared by the backhaul link and the access link, but is a dedicated band for transmitting control messages between the base station and the relay node or multiple relay nodes.
The backhaul link dedicated band 12 is only used for the backhaul link, and when the traffic that needs to be transmitted by the backhaul link has a high requirement on the communication quality or is delay sensitive traffic, the backhaul link dedicated band 12 may be used. In this embodiment, the bandwidth of the backhaul link dedicated band 12 is variable, and in other embodiment, the bandwidth 12 of the backhaul link dedicated band may be fixed.
The shared band 13 is a band shared by the backhaul link and the access link, and occupies most of the resources 10 of the relay node. The shared frequency band 13 can be used for transmitting traffic as a backhaul link and also can be used for transmitting traffic as an access link.
The terminal-specific frequency band 14 is a frequency band dedicated to an access link. When the shared frequency band 13 is used as both the backhaul link and the access link to transmit services, it will cause certain interference to the transmitted services, and the base station will determine whether the user terminal needs to use the terminal-dedicated frequency band 14 according to the strength of the interference-carrying capability of the user terminal. For example, the base station may preset a threshold value (e.g., 5 degrees, 10 degrees, etc.) of an included angle between the backhaul link and the access link, and when the included angle between the backhaul link and the access link is within the threshold value, which indicates that mutual interference between the backhaul link and the access link is large, the terminal-dedicated frequency band 14 is enabled.
In a specific implementation scenario, the base station sends a communication condition information detection request to at least one relay node, so that the relay nodes start to detect the communication conditions of all backhaul link paths starting from the relay nodes in response to the communication condition detection request, and send the detected communication condition information to the base station.
Specifically, the communication condition information includes at least one of communication quality of all backhaul link paths starting from the backhaul link, a traffic type to be transmitted, a resource requirement of the backhaul link, and an access link sharing the same frequency band as the backhaul link. In the implementation scenario, the communication quality of all backhaul link paths starting from the backhaul link path is mainly represented by the signal-to-noise ratio of the backhaul link path, which reflects the case of signal interference, and during the test, the maximum SINR value is 30, and the minimum SINR value is even a negative value. Generally speaking, the signal quality is considered to be excellent when the SINR is more than or equal to 25, the signal quality is considered to be good when the SINR is more than 25 and more than 20, the signal quality is considered to be general when the SINR is more than or equal to 20 and more than or equal to 10, and the signal quality is considered to be poor when the SINR is less than 5. In other implementation scenarios, parameters such as reference signal received power, reference signal received quality, and received signal strength may also be used as reference indicators.
In this embodiment, the service type to be transmitted includes at least one of whether the service is a delay sensitive type and a communication quality requirement of the service, and in other implementation scenarios, priorities of different services may also be directly preset. The requirement of communication quality is determined according to whether the service is easily interfered in the transmission process, if the service is easily interfered, the requirement of communication quality is high, and if the service has strong interference carrying capacity or has a certain fault-tolerant space and can accept certain interference, the requirement of communication quality is lower.
In this implementation scenario, the resource requirements of the backhaul link and the access link sharing the same frequency band as the backhaul link include at least one of traffic volume to be transmitted by the backhaul link and the access link and a resource reuse rate of the frequency band shared by the backhaul link and the access link. When a relay node transmits a large amount of services at the same time on the backhaul link and the access link, the resource reuse rate of the shared frequency band of the backhaul link and the access link is high, which means that the probability of interference and delay on the path using the backhaul link is high at the same time.
In another implementation scenario, the base station may receive the communication status information obtained by detecting the communication statuses of all the backhaul link paths with the relay node as a starting point at regular time intervals according to a preset cycle, and transmitting the detected communication status information.
S102: the base station selects the backhaul link path matching the communication condition information among a selectable set of backhaul link paths.
In a specific implementation scenario, a multi-hop technique is supported, i.e. one relay node may transmit traffic to a base station through another relay node or multiple relay nodes. A specific relay node may be configured to transmit traffic to the base station through several relay nodes. Or if no setting is made, the number of the relay nodes connected with the base station is reduced by 1 to form an upper limit. The single hop is that the relay node directly transmits service with the base station.
In this implementation scenario, the base station selects the most appropriate backhaul link path from the set of single-hop and multi-hop backhaul link paths according to the received communication condition information. Specifically, the most suitable backhaul link path is selected for the traffic according to the type of the traffic that needs to be transmitted. If the service needing to be transmitted is a delay sensitive type, the priority of the service is highest, the base station selects a return link path with the highest signal to noise ratio for the service, the lowest traffic quantity of the return link and the access link needing to be transmitted and the lowest resource reuse rate of a shared frequency band of the return link and the access link, if the requirement of the service needing to be transmitted on the communication quality is high, the service has higher priority, the base station selects a return link path with higher signal to noise ratio for the service, the lower traffic quantity of the return link and the access link needing to be transmitted and the lower resource reuse rate of the shared frequency band of the return link and the access link. If the service needing to be transmitted is not a delay sensitive type and has low requirement on communication quality, the base station selects a backhaul link path for other service with high priority and then selects a suitable backhaul link path for the service on the remaining backhaul link path.
Since the present embodiment selects suitable backhaul link paths for different types of services, even if the services are transmitted by the same relay node, the base station may select different backhaul link paths according to different priorities corresponding to different types of the services.
In another implementation scenario, before selecting different backhaul link paths for different services, the base station updates the candidate backhaul link paths according to the communication quality of the backhaul link paths in the received communication condition information. Specifically, the base station presets a screening condition for the communication quality of the backhaul link paths, if the communication quality of one backhaul link path does not meet the preset screening condition, if the backhaul link path is in the original candidate backhaul link path, the backhaul link path is deleted from the candidate backhaul link path, and if the backhaul link path is not in the original candidate backhaul link path, the backhaul link path is ignored. If the communication quality of one backhaul link path meets the preset screening condition, if the backhaul link path is in the original candidate backhaul link path, the backhaul link path is maintained, and if the backhaul link path is not in the original candidate backhaul link path, the backhaul link path is added to the candidate backhaul link path.
In this implementation scenario, the preset screening condition is that the communication signal-to-noise ratio of the backhaul link path is greater than or equal to a preset threshold. In other embodiments, the parameters such as the reference signal received power, the reference signal received quality, and the received signal strength may be greater than a preset threshold. Therefore, the backhaul link path with serious interference caused by the fact that the backhaul link and the access link share the same frequency band cannot be used as the candidate backhaul link path, the number of the backhaul link paths to be selected by the base station can be effectively reduced, and the quality of service transmission is improved.
S103: and the base station sends the selected backhaul link path to a relay node to be adopted by the relay node.
In a specific implementation scenario, after selecting different backhaul link paths for different services, the base station sends the selected backhaul link paths to corresponding relay nodes that need to send the services. After receiving the selected backhaul link paths, the relay node transmits different services through different backhaul link paths according to the selection of the base station.
In other implementation scenarios, in order to reduce the complexity of the scheduling backhaul link path, before the base station sends the selected backhaul link path to the relay node, the relay node is notified to unload at least part of the scheduling subtasks, thereby reducing the workload.
In other implementation scenarios, the candidate backhaul link path is updated according to the communication quality of the backhaul link path in the received communication status information, and it is ensured that the capacity of transmitting the service meets the minimum requirement.
In this implementation scenario, millimeter waves are used as a way to transmit traffic. The millimeter wave has strong anti-interference performance, is suitable for being used in a communication mode of a multilink shared frequency band, has high isolation and good directivity when being transmitted in different links, and supports a multi-hop communication mode. In other implementation scenarios, other electromagnetic waves may also be selected to transmit traffic.
As can be seen from the above description, in this embodiment, the base station receives the communication status information of all backhaul link paths participating in the relay node, selects a backhaul link path matching the communication status information according to the communication status information, and notifies the relay node of the selected backhaul link path, so that the relay node transmits information traffic according to the selected backhaul link path, and can dynamically select an appropriate backhaul link path, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of resources and reducing the waste of resources. Before the base station sends the selected backhaul link path to the relay node, the relay node is informed to unload at least part of the scheduling subtasks, so that the workload can be reduced.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a communication method according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The communication method provided by the invention comprises the following steps:
s201: the base station maintains a backhaul link path list of a control layer and broadcasts the list to the relay nodes.
In a specific implementation scenario, transmission of control messages for backhaul links between a base station and a relay node or a plurality of relay nodes is known or slowly changes, so that the base station needs to maintain a backhaul link path list of a control layer and broadcast the backhaul link path list to a plurality of relay nodes wirelessly connected with the base station. The backhaul link path of the control layer refers to a link path through which the base station transmits a message to the relay node. After the base station broadcasts the backhaul link path of the control layer to the relay node, the subsequent control information is sent to the relay node through the backhaul link path.
S202: the base station receives the communication condition information transmitted from the at least one relay node.
S203: the base station selects the backhaul link path matching the communication condition information among a selectable set of backhaul link paths.

S302: the base station selects the backhaul link path matching the communication condition information among a selectable set of backhaul link paths.
S303, the base station selects the backhaul link path which is matched with the communication condition information from the selectable backhaul link path set.

s401: and transmitting the communication condition information to the base station.

And summarizing the detection result into communication condition information and sending the communication condition information to the base station.

When a relay node transmits a large amount of services at the same time on the backhaul link and the access link, the resource reuse rate of the shared frequency band of the backhaul link and the access link is high, which means that the probability of interference and delay on the path using the backhaul link is high at the same time.

the base station maintains a backhaul link path list of a control layer, and in a specific implementation scenario, transmission of a control message of a backhaul link between the base station and a relay node or a plurality of relay nodes is known or slowly changes, so the base station needs to maintain a backhaul link path list of a control layer. The backhaul link path of the control layer refers to a link path through which the base station transmits a message to the relay node. As shown in the connection relationship in fig. 9, the backhaul link path of the control layer includes the base station 20 → the relay node 31, the base station 20 → the relay node 32, and the base station 20 → the relay node 33.
And the base station broadcasts the return link path list to the relay node, and after broadcasting the return link path of the control layer to the relay node, the subsequent control information is sent to the relay node through the return link path.
The base station transmits a communication status information detection request to the relay node, and the relay node starts detection of the communication status of all the backhaul link paths starting from the relay node in response to the communication status detection request, and transmits the detected communication status information to the base station.
Specifically, the communication condition information includes at least one of communication quality of all backhaul link paths starting from the backhaul link, a traffic type to be transmitted, a resource requirement of the backhaul link, and an access link sharing the same frequency band as the backhaul link. In this implementation scenario, the communication quality of all backhaul link paths starting from the backhaul link path is mainly represented by the Signal-to-Noise Ratio of the backhaul link path, which reflects the case of Signal Interference, and during the test, the maximum SINR (Signal-to-Interference plus Noise Ratio) is 30, and the minimum SINR reaches a negative value. Generally speaking, the signal quality is considered to be excellent when the SINR is more than or equal to 25, the signal quality is considered to be good when the SINR is more than 25 and more than 20, the signal quality is considered to be general when the SINR is more than or equal to 20 and more than or equal to 10, and the signal quality is considered to be poor when the SINR is less than 5. In other implementation scenarios, parameters such as reference signal received power, reference signal received quality, and received signal strength may also be used as reference indicators.
In this embodiment, the service type to be transmitted includes at least one of whether the service is a delay sensitive type and a communication quality requirement of the service, and in other implementation scenarios, priorities of different services may also be directly preset. The requirement of communication quality is determined according to whether the service is easily interfered in the transmission process, if the service is easily interfered, the requirement of communication quality is high, and if the service has strong interference carrying capacity or has a certain fault-tolerant space and can accept certain interference, the requirement of communication quality is lower.
In this implementation scenario, the resource requirements of the backhaul link and the access link sharing the same frequency band as the backhaul link include at least one of traffic volume that needs to be transmitted by the backhaul link and the access link connected to the same relay node and a resource reuse rate of the shared frequency band of the backhaul link and the access link. When a relay node transmits a large amount of services at the same time on the backhaul link and the access link, the resource reuse rate of the shared frequency band of the backhaul link and the access link is high, which means that the probability of interference and delay on the path using the backhaul link is high at the same time.
In another implementation scenario, the base station may receive the communication status information obtained by detecting the communication statuses of all the backhaul link paths with the relay node as a starting point at regular time intervals according to a preset cycle, and transmitting the detected communication status information.
The base station selects a backhaul link path matching the communication condition information among the selectable set of backhaul link paths. In this implementation scenario, the base station selects the most appropriate backhaul link path from the set of single-hop and multi-hop backhaul link paths according to the received communication condition information. In the connection relationship shown in fig. 9, the set of backhaul link paths for single hop and multi-hop includes: relay node 31 → base station 20, relay node 31 → relay node 32 → base station 20, relay node 31 → relay node 33 → base station 20, relay node 32 → relay node 31 → base station 20, relay node 32 → relay node 33 → base station 20, relay node 33 → relay node 31 → base station 20, relay node 33 → relay node 32 → base station 20.
Specifically, the most suitable backhaul link path is selected for the traffic according to the type of the traffic that needs to be transmitted. If the service needing to be transmitted is a delay sensitive type, the priority of the service is highest, the base station selects a return link path with the highest signal to noise ratio for the service, the lowest traffic quantity of the return link and the access link needing to be transmitted and the lowest resource reuse rate of a shared frequency band of the return link and the access link, if the requirement of the service needing to be transmitted on the communication quality is high, the service has higher priority, the base station selects a return link path with higher signal to noise ratio for the service, the lower traffic quantity of the return link and the access link needing to be transmitted and the lower resource reuse rate of the shared frequency band of the return link and the access link. If the service needing to be transmitted is not a delay sensitive type and has low requirement on communication quality, the base station selects a backhaul link path for other service with high priority and then selects a suitable backhaul link path for the service on the remaining backhaul link path.
Since the present embodiment selects suitable backhaul link paths for different types of services, even if the services are transmitted by the same relay node, the base station may select different backhaul link paths according to different priorities corresponding to different types of the services.
In another implementation scenario, before selecting different backhaul link paths for different services, the base station updates the candidate backhaul link paths according to the communication quality of the backhaul link paths in the received communication condition information. Specifically, the base station presets a screening condition for the communication quality of the backhaul link paths, if the communication quality of one backhaul link path does not meet the preset screening condition, if the backhaul link path is in the original candidate backhaul link path, the backhaul link path is deleted from the candidate backhaul link path, and if the backhaul link path is not in the original candidate backhaul link path, the backhaul link path is ignored. If the communication quality of one backhaul link path meets the preset screening condition, if the backhaul link path is in the original candidate backhaul link path, the backhaul link path is maintained, and if the backhaul link path is not in the original candidate backhaul link path, the backhaul link path is added to the candidate backhaul link path.
For example, if the backhaul link path SINR (relay node 31 → base station 20) in fig. 9 is 18, the preset threshold is 20, and the communication quality of the backhaul link path of the relay node 31 → base station 20 does not meet the preset condition, the backhaul link path of the relay node 31 → base station 20 is deleted from the candidate backhaul link paths. If the backhaul link path SINR (relay node 31 → base station 20) ═ 22 in another test, and the communication quality of the backhaul link path of the relay node 31 → base station 20 meets the preset condition, the backhaul link path of the relay node 31 → base station 20 is added to the candidate backhaul link paths.
In this implementation scenario, the preset screening condition is that the communication signal-to-noise ratio of the backhaul link path is greater than or equal to a preset threshold. In other embodiments, the parameters such as the reference signal received power, the reference signal received quality, and the received signal strength may be greater than a preset threshold. Therefore, the backhaul link path with serious interference caused by the fact that the backhaul link and the access link share the same frequency band cannot be used as the candidate backhaul link path, the number of the backhaul link paths to be selected by the base station can be effectively reduced, and the quality of service transmission is improved.
In order to reduce the complexity of scheduling backhaul link paths, in this implementation scenario, before the base station sends the selected backhaul link path to the relay node, the relay node is notified to unload at least part of scheduling subtasks, thereby reducing the workload.
The base station transmits the selected backhaul link path to the relay node. After selecting different backhaul link paths for different services, the base station sends the selected backhaul link paths to corresponding relay nodes that need to send the services. After receiving the selected backhaul link paths, the relay node transmits different services through different backhaul link paths according to the selection of the base station.
The relay node sends a backhaul link path re-planning request based on the selected backhaul link path. If the backhaul link path selected by the base station is different from the default backhaul link path of the original relay node, the relay node needs to confirm the new backhaul link path.
And sending a return link path replanning confirmation message to the relay node, receiving a return link path replanning request sent by the relay node based on the selected return link path by the base station, confirming the new return link path, and informing the relay node of transmitting the service according to the selected return link path.
And after receiving the confirmation message of the base station, the relay node transmits the service according to the return link path selected by the base station.
As can be seen from the above description, in this embodiment, the base station receives the communication status information sent by the relay node, and selects a matched backhaul link path for the traffic to be transmitted based on the received communication status information, and sends the selected backhaul link path to the relay node. The relay node transmits the service according to the received backhaul link path, and can dynamically select a suitable backhaul link path, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of resources and reducing the waste of resources.
