Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for suppressing interference between cells achievable with a simple structure and control algorithm, and a distributed radio communication base station system achievable of suppressing interference between cells with a simple structure and control algorithm.SOLUTION: Interference between cells can be suppressed by using a TDM function of a PON system. Specifically, by the TDM function, data destined to each ONU is delivered on a unit time basis and the ONU receives or discards data destined the self-ONU. Therefore, at a time the ONU receives the data destined to the self-ONU, there is no data in another ONU. Thus, only a base station connected to the ONU having received the data radio outputs, whereas the other base station does not radio output, so that interference between cells can be suppressed.

Description

  The present invention relates to an inter-cell interference suppression method in a distributed radio communication base station system configured by a plurality of radio communication base stations and a PON (Passive Optical Network) transmission system, and a distributed radio communication base station system that realizes the same.

  In a mobile communication system, an area where a wireless communication base station (hereinafter referred to as “base station”) provides a service to a mobile station is called a cell. When the base station outputs radio signal radio waves with an omnidirectional antenna, the cell spreads concentrically around the base station, and its radius varies depending on the level of transmission output.

  As shown in FIG. 9, when the mobile station moves to the end of the cell, the influence of the interference from the signal from the adjacent base station becomes larger as the signal strength from the base station with which the mobile station is communicating becomes weaker. Will receive. In order to solve the problem of signal interference between cells, various measures have been studied so far.

  Specifically, a method for reducing the influence of interference by separating a signal and an interference signal from an adjacent cell from each other in any one of a time domain, a frequency domain, and a spatial domain has been studied (for example, (See Non-Patent Document 1.)

  The method of separating signals and interference signals from other cells in the frequency domain is a method of reducing mutual interference by using different frequencies for communication between cells. By using a frequency filter or the like in the receiving unit and relatively reducing the level of interference signals from other base stations, the influence can be reduced.

  As a method of separating in the spatial domain, so-called beam forming is performed in which a directional antenna is mounted on a base station, and the output direction of a signal beam is selectively controlled to a target mobile station. Is realized.

  The method of separating in the time domain can be realized by separating signals output from a plurality of base stations in the time domain and assigning different time slots for each cell to communication with the mobile station.

NTT DOCOMO Technical Journal Vol. No. 18 2 p. 22-30 “MIMO and inter-cell cooperative transmission / reception technology in LTE-Advanced”

  Conventional methods for suppressing interference from other cells have the following problems.

  Of the methods for suppressing interference between cells, a separation method in the frequency domain, that is, a method using a different frequency band between cells has a problem of excessive consumption of frequency resources. In particular, in a mobile communication service using a licensed frequency band, the frequency band resource is a valuable resource, and it is desired to share the frequency band between cells. Moreover, separation in the frequency domain is also possible by dividing one frequency band into a plurality of parts and assigning them to each base station. However, since the frequency bandwidth that can be used by each base station is narrowed, it is difficult to select and assign a high-quality frequency band to each terminal when assigning frequency bands.

  Next, beam forming, which is a method of separating in the spatial domain, requires high-cost equipment such as an active array antenna (Active Array Antenna), and also transmits individually optimized beams to each mobile station. It is technically difficult to realize dynamic control.

  Finally, in the method of separating in the time domain, an operation for controlling the timing of the radio signal output from each base station in cooperation with each other with high accuracy, that is, scheduling is required.

  And the problem of signal interference between the cells described above is even greater when the number of base stations increases with the so-called small cell size reduction in order to cope with the increase in wireless communication traffic. It becomes a problem.

  Therefore, in order to solve such problems, the present invention provides a method for suppressing interference between cells that can be realized with a simple configuration and control algorithm, and a distributed radio communication base that can suppress interference between cells with a simple configuration and control algorithm. The purpose is to provide a station system.

  In the present invention, an access system based on TDM-PON (Time Division Multiple Passive Optical Network) is applied to an access system that accommodates a base station, so that radio signals of each cell in the downlink direction are divided in the time domain. .

Specifically, the inter-cell interference suppression method according to the present invention includes a representative base station,
A plurality of base stations that communicate wirelessly with mobile stations in the cell;
The representative base station side has an OLT (Optical Line Terminal) and the base station side has an ONU (Optical Network Unit), and PON (Passive) that multiplex-transmits signals between the representative base station and the base station Optical Network) system,
A method for suppressing interference between cells in a distributed radio communication base station system comprising:
Sending data to the mobile station from the representative base station to the plurality of ONUs in the PON system by time division multiplexing,
The data is output from the base station to the cell at a timing when the data is delivered from the ONU.

  This interference suppression method is realized by a distributed radio communication base station system in which a representative base station and a plurality of base stations are connected by a PON system. The ONU of the PON system is connected to the base station, and the base station wirelessly outputs data at a timing when data is output from the ONU. With such a configuration, interference between cells can be suppressed by using the TDM function of the PON system. In other words, since data addressed to each ONU is distributed every unit time by the TDM function and the data addressed to itself is discarded by the ONU, there is no data in other ONUs when the ONU receives the data addressed to itself. Become. For this reason, only the base station connected to the ONU that has received the data outputs wirelessly, and other base stations do not output wirelessly, and interference between cells can be suppressed.

  Therefore, the present invention can provide an inter-cell interference suppression method that can be realized with a simple configuration that uses the function of the PON system and a control algorithm.

In the inter-cell interference suppression method according to the present invention, the representative base station is a signal processing unit (BBU: Base Band Unit),
The base station is a radio device (RRU: Remote Radio Unit),
The data in the section of the PON system may be transmitted by RoF (Radio over Fiber).

  In the inter-cell interference suppression method according to the present invention, the ONU delays the data arriving at the ONU with a delay time based on the distance between the OLT and each ONU, and delivers the data to the base station. Also good. The distance difference between the representative base station and each base station can be absorbed.

  The inter-cell interference suppression method according to the present invention is characterized in that the PON system is phase-synchronized by MPCP (Multi-point control protocol) or PTP (Precision Time Protocol). Phase synchronization between ONUs can be performed with microsecond accuracy.

In the inter-cell interference suppression method according to the present invention, when the optical frame length of the PON system matches an integer multiple of a radio frame length of radio communication performed by the base station, the timing is set as the optical frame length,
When the optical frame length of the PON system does not match an integer multiple of the radio frame length of radio communication performed by the base station, the optical frame length is set to an integer multiple of the radio frame length and the timing is set to the optical frame length Alternatively, the data can be delayed at the ONU to make the timing an integer multiple of the radio frame length.

  In the inter-cell interference suppression method according to the present invention, among the plurality of base stations, a group of the base stations capable of ignoring interference between each other is formed, and each of the ONUs to the base stations belonging to the group is formed. The data may be delivered at the same time. Interference does not occur between all base stations. Therefore, a group of base stations that do not cause interference is formed. The band can be effectively used by simultaneously delivering data to the group and enabling wireless output at the same time.

The inter-cell interference suppression method according to the present invention holds the data on each of the ONU sides of the PON system,
At a predetermined time based on the position of the mobile station in the cell, the data held by the ONU side of the PON system is different from the one base station to which the mobile station belongs and another one of the base stations. You may output to the said base station. Handover and coordinated transmission / reception between base stations can be performed.

The interference suppression method includes a representative base station,
A plurality of base stations that communicate wirelessly with mobile stations in the cell;
A PON system that has an OLT on each of the representative base stations and an ONU on each of the base stations, and multiplex-transmits signals between the representative base station and the base station;

It can be realized by a distributed radio communication base station system comprising

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below are embodiments of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments. In the present specification and drawings, the same reference numerals denote the same components.

(Embodiment 1)
The distributed radio communication base station system of this embodiment has the same configuration as that in FIG. That is, the distributed radio communication base station system includes a representative base station 110,
A plurality of base stations 120 that perform wireless communication with the mobile station 101 in the cell;
A PON system 130 that has an OLT 140 on the representative base station side and an ONU 150 on each base station side, and multiplex-transmits signals between the representative base station 110 and the base station 120;
A control unit (not shown) that controls the representative base station 110, the base station 120, and the PON system 130 to perform the following interference suppression method between cells;
Is provided.

  In this distributed wireless communication base station system, the representative base station 110 and the OLT 210 may be connected by the adapter 210 and the base station 120 and the ONU 150 may be connected by the adapter 230 as in the configuration of FIG. . The existing representative base station, base station, and PON system can be used by connecting the adapter.

  The control unit provided in the distributed radio communication base station system controls the representative base station 110, the base station 120, and the PON system 130, and transmits data to the mobile station 101 from the representative base station 110 to the plurality of ONUs 150 by the PON system 130. Transmission is performed by division multiplexing, and the data is output from the base station 120 to the cell at the timing when the data is delivered from the ONU 150 to suppress interference between cells.

  This distributed wireless communication base station system is a simple application using TDM-PON on the premise that it is applied to a frequency division duplex (FDD) wireless communication system that uses different frequencies for uplink and downlink radio signals. The configuration realizes interference suppression between base stations.

  The interference suppression method can be applied to the mobile access system having the following two configurations based on the TDM-PON system.

  One is a configuration (type 1) in which a representative base station 110 is installed in the OLT 140 and a base station 120 having an antenna is installed in the ONU 150, as shown in FIG. In this type, the representative base station 110 responds on behalf of each base station 120 connected to the ONU 150 to each node on the core network of the mobile network. In addition, the control signal of each base station 120 is transmitted to the representative base station 110 and aggregated. Further, communication between the base stations is returned at the representative base station 110.

  Another form is a configuration (type 2) in which the BLT 110a is connected to the OLT 140 and the RRU 120a is connected to the ONU 150, as shown in FIG. In this type, the BBU and RRU are connected by a digital RoF signal.

  In FIG. 1, the representative base station 110 or BBU 110a and the OLT 140, and the base station 120 or RRU 120a and the ONU 150 are integrated, but as shown in FIG. 8, between the representative base station 110 or the BBU 110a and the OLT 140, and the base station Adapters (210, 230) may be added between 120 or RRU 120a and ONU 150, respectively. At this time, the adapter 210 converts the downlink signal output from the representative base station 110 or the BBU 110a into a signal in a format that can be recognized by the input interface of the OLT 140, and the uplink signal output from the OLT 140 to the representative base station 110 or the BBU 110a. It includes a function to convert the signal into a format that can be recognized by the input interface. On the other hand, the adapter 230 converts the downlink signal output from the ONU 150 into a signal that can be recognized by the input interface of the base station 120 or the RRU 120a, and the input interface of the ONU 150 converts the uplink signal output from the base station 120 or the RRU 120a. Includes the ability to convert the signal into a recognizable format.

  The method for suppressing interference of signals between base stations in the present embodiment is applied to a usage mode in which the same frequency band is used between cells, and a method of suppressing interference by dividing the signal of each base station in the time domain. It is.

  In the TDM-PON system, a signal destined for each ONU is transmitted in a time division multiplexed manner as a downstream signal. Then, the control unit delivers the signal addressed to the base station from the frame received by the base station 120 at the timing when the signal arrives at the ONU, and immediately outputs the signal to the subordinate cell. For this reason, one base station 120 wirelessly outputs a downlink signal in a different time zone from the other base stations 120. That is, in a time zone in which a base station 120 of a certain cell transmits a signal to the mobile station 101, no signal is transmitted in another cell, and therefore no interference of a downlink signal occurs between cells.

  The control unit causes the ONU 150 to delay the data that has arrived at the ONU 150 with a delay time based on the distance between the OLT 140 and each ONU 150, and delivers the data to the base station 120. The ONU 150 delivers a signal addressed to the base station to the base station 120 at a timing that corrects a transmission delay time generated in the transmission path between the OLT 140 and the ONU 150. Alternatively, the base station 120 may convert the signal from a time when the signal is received from the ONU 150 to a radio signal at a timing obtained by correcting the transmission delay time, and output the signal. Even when the distance between the OLT 140 and each ONU 150 is different, the time zone in which the base station 120 of a certain cell transmits a signal to the mobile station 101 is not transmitted in other cells, so the downlink direction between the cells There will be no signal interference.

  As a TDM-PON system, a system such as GE-PON (IEEE802.3ah) and 10G-EPON (IEEE802.3av) can be applied.

  The distance between the ONU 150 and the optical branch circuit 135 is different for each ONU. In the optical fiber transmission line, the delay time generated in the transmission line is about 5 nanoseconds per meter, that is, about 5 microseconds per kilometer, so that the transmission delay from the OLT 140 to each ONU 150 reaches about 100 microseconds at the maximum. . On the other hand, depending on the mobile communication system, the microsecond order is required as the required accuracy of the symbol output timing. Therefore, in order to align the timing when the radio signal is output from the base station 120, the timing (phase) synchronization is performed. Need to do.

  As means for performing phase synchronization between the ONUs 150 with microsecond accuracy, a method using a GE-PON multi-point control protocol (MPCP) or a Precision Time Protocol (PTP) can be considered. By applying such a phase synchronization method, the timing (phase) of the output signal of the base station 120 can be adjusted.

An example of the procedure will be described below.
(1) The OLT 140 measures a round trip transmission delay time for each ONU 150, that is, a round trip time (RTT). For RTT measurement, MPCP can be used for GE-PON and 10GEPON. In other PON systems, PTP can be used. Here, the RTT measurement result for the i-th ONU 150, that is, the ONU 150-i is RTTi.
(2) OLT is based on the measurement result of (1) above, and further, ΔT _i = (RTT _max −RTT _i ) / 2, which is a delay time difference from the ONU 150 having the maximum RTT value as information of the control signal addressed to each ONU 150. Describe and send. Here, RTT _max represents the maximum value of RTT.
(3) Each ONU 150 outputs a radio signal from the base station 120 after delaying (buffering) the time by ΔT _i from its own time slot of the received frame.

This will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 3 shows a configuration of a type 1 mobile access system including four base stations. A transmission delay occurs according to the distance li (i = 1 to 4) of the transmission path from the OLT 140 to each ONU 150. In the configuration of FIG. 3, ONU 150 # 2, ONU 150 # 1, ONU 150 # 3, and ONU 150 # 4 are in order of increasing transmission delay time.

The relative timing of the downstream signal received by each ONU 150 is as shown in FIG.
For example, the downlink signal received by the ONU 150 # 4 (FIG. 4D) arrives ₄ hours earlier by ΔT than the downlink signal received by the ONU 150 # 2 (FIG. 4B). In this case, a radio signal is output from the base station D after being delayed (buffered) by ΔT for ₄ hours. The same applies to other base stations. In this way, each base station controls the output timing of the radio signal, so that the timing of the radio signal output from each base station is separated in the time domain as shown in FIG.

  With the above procedure, in the inter-cell interference suppression method in the mobile communication system, the radio signal timing output from each base station 120 is controlled with microsecond accuracy, so that signals between cells do not interfere with each other. For this reason, when installing the base station 120, it is not necessary to consider interference with other base stations 120 in accordance with the output signal strength, and the cell arrangement can be designed with a simple procedure.

When the optical frame length of the PON system 130 matches an integer multiple of the wireless frame length of the wireless communication performed by the base station 120, the timing at which data is transferred from the ONU 150 to the base station 120 is set as the optical frame length. The frame length T _P of the TDM-PON system is n × T _w = T _P (n = 1, 2, 3,...) With respect to the frame length T _w of the radio system (minimum transmission interval of radio signals). It is assumed that At this time, sends a frame to have OLT ONU 150, operation of the base station that has received the frame transmits the radio signal is repeated every T _P.

When the optical frame length of the PON system 130 does not match an integer multiple of the radio frame length of the radio communication performed by the base station 120, the optical frame length is set to an integer multiple of the radio frame length and the timing is set as the optical frame length. Or the data is delayed by the ONU 150 so that the timing is an integral multiple of the radio frame length. When n × T _w ≈T _P (n = 1, 2, 3,...), the base station 120 cannot transmit a radio signal immediately after the ONU 150 receives the frame. Therefore, the frame length of the PON section is set so that n × T _w = T _P (n = 1, 2, 3,...), Or the frame received by the ONU 150 is buffered and T _w The base station 120 needs to perform signal transmission after delaying to an integer multiple of timing.

  According to the present embodiment, higher quality communication can be ensured than when the relay transmission of the wireless system is applied between the representative base station and the base station.

(Embodiment 2)
In this embodiment, data is held on each ONU 150 side of the PON system 130, and the mobile station 101 belongs to the data held on the ONU 150 side of the PON system 130 at a predetermined time based on the position of the mobile station 101 in the cell. A case where the data is output to one base station 120 and another base station 120 different from this will be described.

  In the first embodiment, the signal transmission timings of all base stations belonging to a certain OLT are separated. Here, in order to solve the problem of communication quality degradation caused by signal interference between adjacent base stations, a method of simultaneously transmitting one signal from a plurality of base stations is conceivable. As an example, there is a Joint Transmission (JT) method which is a technique of coordinated transmission / reception (CoMP) between base stations (cells) (for example, see Non-Patent Document 1).

  In the present embodiment, a case will be described in which coordinated transmission / reception between base stations is performed in the distributed radio communication base station system described in the first embodiment. In the present embodiment, the predetermined time is a coordinated transmission / reception between base stations. When JT is performed, signal transmission is performed simultaneously from a plurality of base stations 120. When the base station 120-B transmits the signal of the mobile station 101 belonging to the base station 120-A, the base station 120-B also receives a frame addressed to the base station 120-A as shown in FIG. Thus, the signal is transmitted at the radio signal transmission timing of the base station 120-A. Hereinafter, an operation until JT communication is performed will be described.

(1) Based on information from the mobile station 101, the base station 120-A acquires information on other cells. Specifically, information such as a signal reception level of a downlink signal from another cell reported from the mobile station 101 and a signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR) is used.
(2) When the reception level of a signal from another cell reaches a preset threshold value, the base station 120-A determines that the mobile station 101 exists at the end of the cell with the base station 120-B. To do.
(3) The base station 120-A makes a JT cooperation request to the base station 120-B. At this time, control information such as resource blocks related to the mobile station is notified.
(4) Since the PON system 130 has a downlink signal broadcast property, the downlink signal addressed to the base station 120-A is connected not only to the ONU 150 # 1 connected to the base station 120-A but also to another base station 120. Has also arrived at each ONU 150. In general, downlink signals other than those addressed to the base station 120-A are discarded by other ONUs 150 of the ONU 150 # 1, but in this embodiment, downlink signals other than those addressed to the base station 120-A are stored by other ONUs 150. . The base station 120-B requested to cooperate with JT demodulates the signal addressed to the base station 120-A from the downlink broadcast signal frame received by the ONU 150, and further generates a radio signal addressed to the mobile station 101. To do.
(5) The base station 120-B synchronizes the timing in the frequency band based on the resource block information and outputs the signal addressed to the mobile station 101.

(Embodiment 3)
When the mobile station moves and enters the cell area of an adjacent base station, communication is continued by switching the belonging base station. This series of procedures is generally called handover. A handover procedure will be described by taking the LTE (Long Term Evolution) method standardized by 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project) as an example.

  In the handover process, it is necessary to exchange control information regarding the mobile station such as which mobile station is connected to the base station and how far the data transmission / reception has been completed. For handover in LTE, two types of handover procedures, “S1 handover” and “X2 handover”, are defined.

  “S1 handover” is a method for exchanging control signals associated with handover between base stations via an S1 interface, which is an interface for connecting a base station apparatus (eNodeB) and a mobile core network (Evolved Packet Core: EPC). .

  On the other hand, “X2 handover” is a method in which a control signal associated with handover is directly exchanged between base stations using an X2 interface which is a communication interface between base stations.

  In the X2 handover, since data that has not reached the mobile station is transferred from the source base station to the destination base station, it is possible to realize a handover in which no signal loss occurs. In addition, since there is less control signal communication, the handover process can be performed in a shorter time.

  In the present embodiment, a case will be described in which X2 handover is performed in the distributed radio communication base station system described in the first embodiment. In the present embodiment, the predetermined time is an X2 handover. When a mobile station 101 belonging to a certain base station 120 is handed over, data of the mobile station 101 is transmitted from another base station 120. Here, it is assumed that the mobile station 101 belonging to the base station 120-A performs an X2 handover to the base station 120-B. At this time, as shown in FIG. 7, the base station 120-B also receives a frame addressed to the base station 120-A, and transmits a signal at the radio signal transmission timing of the base station 120-A. Hereinafter, the handover procedure of this embodiment will be shown.

(1) The mobile station 101 reports the reception status of signals from the neighboring base stations 120 to the base station 120-A. Specifically, the received signal strength, SINR, and the like correspond to this. Also, the base station 120-B is specified.
(2) The base station 120-A issues a handover request to the base station 120-B.
(3) As described in the second embodiment, the ONU 150 # 2 connected to the base station 120-B using the broadcast capability of the downstream signal of the PON system 130 also stores the downstream signal addressed to the base station 120-A. ing. The base station 120-B acquires and demodulates the downlink signal addressed to the base station 120-A from the ONU 150 # 2, and the signal addressed to the mobile station 101 is timed in the frequency band based on the resource block information. It outputs as a radio signal after synchronizing.
(4) The base station 120-A instructs the mobile station 101 to perform handover, and the mobile station 101 synchronizes with the base station 120-B.

(Embodiment 4)
In the first embodiment, the case where the signal transmission timings of all base stations 120 belonging to a certain OLT 140 are separated has been described. However, among the base stations 120 belonging to a certain OLT 140, there may be a combination of base stations 120 that are sufficiently far away from each other and that do not cause significant interference in the mobile station 101 even if radio signals are transmitted simultaneously.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, among the plurality of base stations 120, a group of base stations 120 that can ignore the influence of mutual interference is formed, and data is simultaneously transferred from each ONU 150 to the base stations 120 belonging to the group. Will be explained.

First, a plurality of base stations 120 that do not cause large interference on the terminal side even if signals are transmitted simultaneously are grouped. When the number of base stations 120 in this group is n, a frame is transmitted to n base stations 120 every T _w = n × T _P (n = 2, 3,...), And n base stations The station 120 can wirelessly output each data every _Tw . In order to perform this grouping, base station position information or the like may be used.

(Other embodiments)
In the above-described embodiment, the frame length T _p of the PON section has been described as being the same in all base stations. However, the frame length T _p of the PON section need not be the same between the base stations. The frame length T _p of the PON section may be weighted according to the traffic situation such as the cell radius of the base station and the average throughput.

The following is a summary of the distributed wireless communication base station system of this embodiment.
