Description

  This application claims priority to the Chinese Patent Office Application No. 201310270569.5 filed with the Chinese Patent Office on June 28, 2013 under the title “SERVICE PROCESSING METHOD AND SYSTEM, AND BASE STATION”. All of which are incorporated herein by reference.

  The present invention relates to communication technology, and more particularly, to a service processing method and system, and a base station.

  In various services in the communication field, some services require a combination of resources or uniform resource processing in order to improve the service execution level. For example, in an environment of high density distribution in an urban area, site planning is generally dense to ensure coverage, and the distance between sites is short (for example, the shortest distance between sites is shorter than 100 m). In order to cover users in the building, the transmission power of the antenna is relatively large. Inter-cell interference cancellation is not performed on the control channel, and mutual interference between cells is severe. In this case, a single frequency network (abbreviated as SFN) cell is proposed, and a plurality of cells with heavy interference are converted to form an SFN cell, and thereby, within the base station to which each cell belongs. Wireless remote unit (RRU for short) belongs to the inside of the SFN cell, and interference at the boundary of the original cell is eliminated. In addition, there is a plurality of RRUs in one SFN cell, and more gain may be obtained by means of sharing transmission / reception.

  On the other hand, the current cells of the actual network are all planned as normal cells. During conversion to SFN cells, hardware connection conversion is required, and the RRUs of different cells are combined into one SFN cell.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of a service processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, it is assumed that there are two LTE base stations (eNodeB, eNB for short), that is, eNB0 and eNB1. The two cells that are cell1 and cell2 belong to eNB0, and the two cells that are cell3 and cell4 belong to eNB1. The whole including the base station and the cells covered by the base station may be referred to as a frame. For example, the whole including cells belonging to eNB0 and eNB0 is frame A, and the whole including cells belonging to eNB1 and eNB1 is frame B.

  Due to implementation requirements, it is assumed that cell1 and cell3 need to form an SFN cell, where the SFN cell is configured to handle SFN services. In the prior art, hardware line conversion is performed to combine the resource information of cell1 and cell3 located in two frames into one frame, for example, the resource information of cell1 and cell3 is set in frame A Or set resource information for cell1 and cell3 in frame B (for example, by connecting RRU connection lines in one frame to other frames), so the SFN cell is 1 In one frame. On the other hand, in this embodiment of the present invention, the cells included in the SFN cell may be located in different frames. That is, as can be seen from FIG. 1, cell1 and cell3 do not need to be arranged in the same frame by means of hardware conversion, cell1 is still located in frame A, and cell3 is still located in frame B. The SFN cell formed in this embodiment of the invention includes cells located in at least two frames.

  The following embodiments describe in detail how to implement the above SFN cell organization including cells located in at least two frames. On the other hand, those skilled in the art can understand that the configuration of the SFN cell is merely an example. In particular implementations, other services may also be formed and applied to all cases where a combination of resources and uniform resource processing is required.

  Before describing the following method, some basic understandings encompassed by the method will first be described.

  SFN cell: The SFN cell includes cells located in at least two frames, and includes, for example, cell1 and cell3 shown in FIG. In a particular implementation, of course, the SFN cell may contain more cells, for example 4 cells, where 2 of the 4 cells may be located in the frame corresponding to the eNB and the other 2 Each of the cells may be located in one eNB frame. In other words, the number of cells forming the SFN cell and the cell allocation method are not limited as long as the cells in the SFN cell are not located in the same frame as a whole (therefore, the cells in the SFN cell are allocated to at least two base stations). Cell to which it belongs).

  Primary base station and primary cell: Regardless of the number of cells mentioned above, the cell needs to serve as the primary cell in the SFN cell. The base station to which the primary cell belongs may be referred to as the primary base station. The primary base station is equivalent to the master base station of the entire SFN cell, and is responsible for uniformly managing the service synchronization process by the base station of the entire SFN cell.

  Secondary base station and secondary cell: Within a cell forming an SFN cell, a cell other than the primary cell may be called a secondary cell, and a base station to which the secondary cell belongs may be called a secondary base station. Under the control of the primary base station, the secondary base station can perform the SFN service together with the primary base station. For example, the primary base station can control the secondary base station such that RRUs in the base stations of the entire SFN cell transmit signals synchronously. The scenario shown in FIG. 1 continues to be used as an example. For example, cell1 can serve as a primary cell and cell3 can serve as a secondary cell. More generally, the frame to which cell1 belongs can be called a primary frame, and the frame to which cell3 belongs can be called a secondary frame.

  The service processing method in this embodiment is mainly to set the combined configuration information in the base station to which the cell forming the SFN cell belongs, and thereby the base station belongs to a different base station based on the combined configuration information Services can be performed jointly in at least two cells, and thus the configuration of the SFN cell is implemented. The combined configuration information may be set by a plurality of methods described in detail below.

Embodiment 1
FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a service processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. This method is described using a base station as the executing entity. In particular, the base station to which the primary cell in the SFN cell belongs, that is, the primary base station is used as an example. As shown in FIG. 2, the method may include:

  201: Obtain combined configuration information.

  The combined configuration information is set in the primary base station to which the primary cell in the SFN cell belongs, and the combined configuration information includes information on at least two resources combined with the same service unit. Here, the information on at least two resources belongs to at least two base stations, and one of the at least two base stations is a primary base station. In the following, examples are used to explain the meaning of the combined configuration information.

  For example, using FIG. 1 as an example, the same service unit refers to the SFN cell corresponding to the SFN service, and the information about the resource is information that can identify the cell, for example, the resource or cell identifier of the cell (This is described by way of example in subsequent embodiments). Information about at least two resources coupled to the same service unit is equivalent to indicating that linking resource information to an SFN cell indicates that the cell corresponding to the resource information will form an SFN cell Indicates.

  At least two cells respectively corresponding to information on at least two resources belong to different base stations. For example, at least two cells shown in FIG. 1 are cell1 and cell3, and the two cells belong to different base stations. One of the different base stations is a primary base station.

  202: Command base stations other than the primary base station based on the combined configuration information to perform a service corresponding to the service unit together with the primary base station.

  Based on the combined configuration information, the base station can perform a service corresponding to the service unit in at least two cells belonging to different base stations. That is, all the base stations (including the primary base station and the secondary base station) are controlled to jointly process the service of the SFN cell.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, all service processing methods are described by using the application scenario shown in FIG. 1 as an example, but the specific implementation is not limited to the scenario shown in FIG. Please note that. For example, when newly established SFN cells belonging to eNB0 and eNB1 are formed, cells belonging to eNB0 or eNB1 have not been established yet, and eNB0 baseband resources and radio frequency resources form SFN cells. Therefore, it may be combined with the baseband resource and the radio frequency resource of eNB1.

  In the service processing method of this embodiment, the SFN cell is implemented based on the combined configuration information, and hardware connection conversion is not required. Therefore, the construction cost of the SFN cell is greatly reduced compared to the prior art.

  In the following, two alternative methods for setting the combined configuration information will be described, but the specific implementation is not limited to the following.

Embodiment 2
In this embodiment, the resource information coupled to the SFN cell is the device resource of the cell included in the SFN cell, and the device resource includes a baseband resource and a radio frequency resource.

  Still referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 3 shows a schematic diagram of a radio resource topology corresponding to the combined configuration information. As shown in FIG. 3, in this embodiment, it is assumed that cell1 to cell4 are all normal cells, and cell1 and cell3 form SFN cells. In addition, it is assumed that the frame to which cell1 belongs is a primary frame, and the frame to which cell3 belongs is a secondary frame. For the external device, the SFN cell may exist as only one primary cell, that is, when given as a whole, the SFN cell exists only as cell1, and cell1 indicates the entire SFN cell. That is, the cell identifier of the cell exists in the primary frame of the SFN cell.

  In this embodiment, configuring the combining information is combining the device resources of the cell. For example, in order to form an SFN cell by cell1 and cell3, the device resource of cell1 and the device resource of cell3 need to be combined together and are combined into the SFN cell. In general, the overall resource combination relationship of the entire SFN cell is set in the base station in the primary frame. For example, the frame to which cell1 belongs is a primary frame, and the above resource coupling relationship is established at the base station to which cell1 belongs, that is, eNB0. The baseband resources and radio frequency resources of cell1 together with the baseband resources and radio frequency resources of cell3 are coupled to the SFN cell.

  Referring to FIG. 3, SFN cell resource binding is also called secondary frame resource binding to the primary cell (this is because cell1 device resources originally belonged to cell1 and only cell3 device resources bound to cell1) To be done). In addition, the coupling relationship between the baseband resources and the radio frequency resources of cell3 and cell1 is recorded in the base station belonging to cell3, that is, eNB1.

  Optionally, the above combined configuration relationship may be pre-configured at the primary base station. FIG. 4 is a flowchart of an exemplary configuration. In the following procedure, step 403 is performed before step 407, but the execution order of other steps is not limited to this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, this procedure may include:

  401: The device resource of the primary cell is set in eNB0.

  For example, a baseband resource and a radio frequency resource of the primary cell (cell1) are configured.

  402: Configure device resources of the secondary cell in eNB1.

  For example, the baseband resource and radio frequency resource of cell3 are configured by eNB1.

  403: Set related parameters of the primary cell in eNB0.

  The relevant parameters of the cell are, for example, some parameters required for normal operation of the cell, such as the frequency band and bandwidth of the cell. In this embodiment, the cell parameters may be configured only in the primary cell.

  404: In eNB0, configure a coupling relationship between the device resources of the primary cell and the device resources of the secondary cell.

  For example, the connection relationship between the device resources of cell1 and cell3 is set by eNB0, and the device resource of cell1 is originally connected to cell1.

  405: Configure a coupling relationship between the device resource of the secondary cell and the device resource of the primary cell in eNB1.

  For example, the connection relationship between the device resource of cell3 and the device resource of cell1 is configured in eNB1.

  406: Enable cell1 to start operation.

  407: The primary base station sends the relevant parameters of the cell in the secondary frame and establishes a connection with the secondary base station.

  For example, the primary base station eNB0 can also transmit the cell parameters configured for the cell1 to the secondary base station eNB1 by using the inter-frame message (this message is not particularly limited in the present embodiment). Therefore, the connection between eNB0 and eNB1 is established, and the resources of the secondary cell are automatically activated. In addition, eNB0 as a primary base station can control cell1 and cell3 belonging to two base stations so as to operate together in forming an SFN cell.

  Optionally, the binding of the secondary frame to the primary frame (binding of the resource of cell3 to cell1) is used as an example in the present embodiment. In certain embodiments, resources of multiple secondary frames may also be combined into the primary frame. For example, the resources of cell3 and cell4 may be combined with cell1. In such a case with multiple secondary frames, the resources of each secondary frame may be configured at each secondary base station, and the resource coupling relationship may be configured at each secondary base station, for example, The connection of the resource of cell4 to cell1 is set in the base station to which cell4 belongs.

  Optionally, secondary frames for the same secondary frame may serve as both secondary frames and primary frames. For example, cell3 is a secondary frame in the SFN cell that cell1 serves as a primary frame. Cell3 may also serve as a primary frame to which cells (cell5) belonging to another base station eNB2 combine, and cell3 and cell5 form another SFN cell. In this case, cell3 is the primary frame of another SFN cell.

  Optionally, resources of the same frame may be combined into different primary frames. For example, the device resource of cell3 is combined with the primary frame (cell1), the device resource of cell3 is combined with cell6 of another base station eNB2, cell3 and cell6 form another SFN cell, and cell6 is another SFN cell To serve as the primary frame.

  Optionally, forming an SFN cell by two normal cells, ie, cell1 and cell3, is used as an example in this embodiment. In certain embodiments, the type of cell that forms the SFN cell is not limited, and other types of cells may form SFN, eg, normal cells and SFN cells may form other SFN cells. Good. In addition, the cell reference number may be flexible in this embodiment.

  Optionally, secondary frame device resources may also be configured in the primary frame and transmitted to the secondary frame by the primary frame. For example, a device resource (including a baseband resource and a radio frequency resource) of cell3 may be configured with a primary frame. For example, in eNB0, device resources of cell3 are configured as baseband resource y1 and radio frequency resource y2, and eNB0 transmits the above resources to base station eNB1 of cell3.

  Optionally, the connection relationship between the device resource and cell1 may be configured in multiple ways. For example, the coupling relationship shown in FIG. 3 is configured in a star shape, that is, the device resource of cell1 is coupled to cell1, the device resource of cell3 is also coupled to cell1, and all resources are coupled to cell1. In addition, the chain method may also be used in the configuration. For example, the device resource of cell1 is coupled to cell1, and the device resource of cell3 is coupled to the device resource of cell1. That is, referring to FIG. 5, there is a chain connection relationship between resources.

  In another example, the connection relationship may be configured by a combination of a star type and a chain type. It is assumed that cell1 is a cell of the primary frame, and not only cell3 but also cell4 and cell5 exist in the secondary frame. Referring to FIG. 6, the device resources of cell3 and cell5 are connected to the device resource of cell1 in a chain form, and both the device resources of cell5 and cell4 are coupled to the device resource of cell3, which belongs to the star connection.

(Embodiment 3)
In this embodiment, the resource information combined with the SFN cell is a cell identifier of a cell included in the SFN cell.

  Still referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 7 shows a schematic diagram of the topology corresponding to the combined configuration information. As shown in FIG. 7, the SFN cell in this embodiment has an independent cell identifier (cell0) and can be formed by connecting at least two normal cells (cell1 and cell3). cell1 is still the primary cell, cell3 is the secondary cell, and the SFN cell belongs to eNB0 to which the primary cell (cell1) belongs. In this case, in addition to the SFN cell, cell3 also belongs to eNB0. On the other hand, when the coupling configuration relationship is set, cell3 may be described as physically belonging to eNB1.

  Similarly, in certain implementations, secondary cells may include cells belonging to multiple base stations, and different cells belonging to the same base station may be combined with other different base stations. The cell identifiers may be combined in a star shape, a chain shape, a combination of star shape and chain shape, or other methods, and this is not limited in the present embodiment. For example, when the SFN cell further includes cell 4, as shown in FIG. 8, the device resources of cell 3 and cell 4, and the device resource of cell 0 are configured in a chain method.

  In addition, as in the second embodiment, the cell type in the SFN cell in the present embodiment is not limited, and the cell reference number may be configured flexibly, and details will not be described here again.

  Similarly, the above combined configuration relationship may be preset at the base station. FIG. 9 is a flowchart of an exemplary configuration. In the following procedure, step 903 is performed before step 907, and the execution order of the other steps is not limited in this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 9, this procedure includes:

  901: The device resource of the primary cell is configured in eNB0.

  For example, a baseband resource and a radio frequency resource of cell1 are configured.

  902: Configure device resources of the secondary cell in eNB1.

  For example, the baseband resource and radio frequency resource of cell3 are configured in eNB1.

  903: In eNB0, the related parameter of the primary cell is configured.

  Cell related parameters are, for example, some parameters required for normal operation of the cell, such as the frequency band and bandwidth of the cell.

  904: In eNB1, configure related parameters of secondary cell.

  When there are multiple secondary cells, the related parameters of each secondary cell are configured separately. Optionally, some cell parameters may be configured in eNB1, and other parameters may be sent by the primary base station (eg, eNB0).

  905: In eNB0, a connection relationship between the device resource of the primary cell and the device resource of the secondary cell is configured.

  For example, the connection relationship between the cell identifiers of cell1 and cell3 is configured in eNB0, and both the two cells belong to the SFN cell, that is, cell0.

  906: In eNB1, configure a coupling relationship between the device resource of the secondary cell and the device resource of the primary cell.

  For example, the connection relationship between the device resource of cell3 and the device resource of cell0 is configured in eNB1.

  907: Enable primary cell to start operation.

  908: The primary base station commands the secondary base station to enable the primary cell to start operation and to enable the secondary cell to start operation.

  For example, the primary base station eNB0 activates the local cell (cell1) belonging to the primary base station eNB0, commands the secondary base station eNB1, and activates the secondary cell (cell3). As a primary base station, eNB0 can control cell1 and cell3 belonging to two base stations so that they operate together in the formation of an SFN cell. In addition, each regular cell included in the SFN cell may be activated separately.
