By grouping and pairing the user terminals, the method for uniformly distributing the resources to the user terminals in the pairing group is realized, and the data throughput in the communication process is effectively improved.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, the resource allocation step includes:

S606, the resource allocation is carried out on the user terminals in each pairing group according to the remote radio unit.
Specifically, the base station may acquire network resources, and allocate the network resources to the user terminals in each pairing group by taking the pairing group as a unit according to the remote radio unit.
Wherein the network resource may be a time domain resource or a frequency domain resource, etc.
In this embodiment, the remote radio units corresponding to the user terminals in each pairing group are determined by determining the user terminals in each pairing group, and the user terminals in each pairing group are allocated with resources according to the remote radio units.
As an example, the present embodiment is as follows:
the micro-station distributed networking can be adopted in the building, each room is provided with a low-power RRU, and a single RRU forms a physical cell and ensures signal coverage in the room. The inter-cells have little mutual interference due to physical isolation. And the RRUs are connected to the DU and then to the 5G core network to complete 5G networking. Next, using a cell combining technique, the multiple cells are combined into one logical cell, and the time domain resource, the frequency domain resource, etc. of the shared cell PCI (Physical Cell Identifier ) are controlled by the DU to receive and transmit the message transmitted by the PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel )/PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel, physical downlink shared channel)/PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel ) channel by each RRU.
The UE under each RRU may be divided into a UE group (user terminal group), when there are N RRUs in a cell, the online UE may be divided into N UE groups, after the UE is accessed, the base station may receive the measured value of SRS power of each RRU through SRS, and select the RRU with the largest RSRP as the UE group of the UE, and periodically maintain the UE group information.
FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of determining a user terminal group in another embodiment; as shown in fig. 7, considering various service characteristics of the UE, the base station performs null allocation, for only the normal DRB (Data Radio Bearer ) service, and for the user with large data size, does not consider SRB (Signal Radio Bearer ), does not consider QOS (Quality of Service ) class 5QI1 (5G QoS Identifier,5G quality of service identifier) as DRB of the VONR (Voice over New Radio,5G network target voice solution) service, and does not distinguish MAC HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest ) new transmission and retransmission. The base station divides each UEgroup into two queues, wherein the first queue (key queue) is a common DRB service, the second queue (other queues) is other services, and the base station is put into the queues of the UEgroup according to the service type and priority before pairing each time.
In TDD (time division duplex), SINR (Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio, signal to noise ratio) thresholds and traffic demand thresholds (including a downlink data amount threshold and an uplink data amount threshold) of an uplink and downlink channel with respect to SRS are set, respectively, using channel reciprocity. And during pairing, sequentially selecting a first SRS SINR meeting a pairing threshold from a first queue of each group, and placing the UE with the business volume requirement meeting the threshold into the pairing group MGroup to allocate the same time-frequency resource for the UE. The UE within MGroup may also trigger SU-MIMO (Single-User Multiple-input Multiple-Output) according to the radio channel quality. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of determining a pairing group in one embodiment; the schematic diagram shown in fig. 5 is applicable to both downstream and upstream scenarios.
For the UE in the MGroup, in the downlink direction, the PDCCH and the PDSCH are only sent by the RRU corresponding to the UEgroup of the UE, and in the uplink direction, the PUSCH is also only received by the RRU corresponding to the UEgroup of the UE.
