Description

INTER-NETWORK COOPERATION METHOD, COOPERATIVE NODE AND NETWORK-SIDE DEVICE,

Field of the Invention The present invention relates to the field of communications, and more particularly to a method for cooperation between networks, cooperating nodes, and network-side equipment.

As the demand for large-scale applications and wireless communications bandwidth of mobile intelligent terminals grows, the wireless communications industry is increasingly introducing new communication standards and networking morphology. (UMTS), Long Term Evolution ("LTE "), and the like. Multi-standard " macro-micro multi-layer network, including a " network " Unlike the three-layer architecture of GSM and UMTS, in the flat architecture of LTE, the central control node, the base station controller, is canceled. Therefore, on the one hand, an X2 interface has to be introduced for cooperation between LTE base stations, which increases the number of connections between single base stations of LTE more than five times, but the resources can still not be optimized in the network layer; On the other hand, the usage status of resources can not be efficiently exchanged between LTE, GSM, and UMTS, which also limits performance optimization and capacity maximization of one network with GSM, UMTS and LTE; In a macro-micro networking scenario of a hotspot area, a small base station is typically located in a multi-layer coverage area of a macro network and is configured to communicate with a plurality of small base stations and a multi- Effective collaboration must be carried out.

In the prior art, resource and state information is exchanged over the X2 interface between LTE's evolved base station (Evolutional Node B, abbreviated as "eNodeB") to cooperate wireless resources between eNodeBs for optimized use ; Radio resources and status information are exchanged between LTE and GSM and UMTS through a Radio Access Network (RAN) information management (RAN Information Management) interface (RIM) signaling interface, And collaborate and optimize resource use. Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > Iur < / RTI > interface-G between GSM and UMTS. In order to perform radio resource cooperation via the X2 interface between LTE's eNodeBs, a plurality of X2 interfaces must be configured for each eNodeB, which makes the availability of resource collaboration highly dependent on the accuracy and effectiveness of the X2 interface configuration; On the other hand, each eNodeB is not only an information publisher but also a convergence analysis entity of information, so information exchange is complex and difficult to cooperate. Cell-level signaling transmission is mainly performed between LTE and GSM and UMTS using RIM messages, and the LTE's eNodeB acquires the status of GSM and UMTS network resources to perform resource coordination analysis and decision. and; In order to perform resource collaboration analysis and determination of the resource GSM and UMTS in the controller, signal transmission is performed between GSM and UMTS via the Iur-G interface of the controller; Resource collaboration analysis and judgment are performed separately between LTE, GSM and UMTS using different entities in different architectures. After the state exchange, the standards are evaluated separately, so that the trend and the instantaneous change of the entire network to the unified node can not be known, so one standard is optimal, but the whole network is not optimal, This leads to the case where network resources can not be fully used to improve network performance and user information. The radio resource state is exchanged over the core network and resource collaboration is not implemented in the wireless network, which creates a tight coupling between the core network and the wireless network, which leads to a more uncertain factor in the version update, Not good for stability.

Specifically, status information may be reported in an active reporting manner or a request reporting manner. In the active reporting scheme, the base station or base station controller transmits status information to the cooperating node periodically or when the radio resource status changes. In the request reporting scheme, the cooperative node first sends a request message to request the status information to the base station or the base station controller, and then the base station or the base station controller reports the status information to the cooperative node according to the request message.

The cooperative node determines whether the utilization rate of radio resources in the area has reached a preset first threshold value, and when the preset first threshold value is reached, the cooperative node starts parameter optimization and sets an optimized parameter (for example, One or more) to the base station or the base station controller so that the base station or the base station controller performs the cooperation operation according to the parameters transmitted. After receiving the parameters transmitted by the cooperating node, the base station or the base station controller performs the cooperation operation according to the parameters, for example, performing handover or power adjustment. The cooperative node detects the effect after optimization, and when the target is reached, terminates the optimization, for example, if the utilization of radio resources is reduced to a target value; Otherwise, it performs optimization again and delivers new parameters to the base station or base station controller. Alternatively, the cooperative node may determine that the handover success rate between two cells in the region is too low, and when it is too low, adjust the handover parameter and transmit it to the base station or the base station controller to initiate the handover optimization, Observe whether this requirement is met; If the handover success rate does not meet the requirement, continue to adjust; If the handover success rate meets the requirement, the optimization is aborted.

After receiving the parameters sent by the cooperating node, the eNodeB performs cooperative work according to these parameters, e.g., perform handover or adjust power. The cooperative node detects the post-optimization effect, and when the target is reached, terminates the optimization, for example, if the utilization of the radio resources of the LTE network is reduced to a target value; Otherwise, perform the optimization again to pass the new parameters to the eNodeB. Alternatively, the cooperating node may determine that an LTE interference index in the region has reached a threshold; If the threshold is exceeded, initiate interference optimization, reassign the edge spectrum for some or all of the base stations in the region, and observe whether the interference optimization goal is reached; If the interference optimization goal is reached, stop the optimization; If the interference optimization goal is not reached, the optimization continues.

If a neighbor cell with a higher signal strength is found during the measurement, PCI and signal strength are reported. The eNodeB determines, according to the PCI, whether to perform the corresponding handover indication so that the terminal is serviced by a more appropriate cell. In some cases, the UE's neighbor cell has the same PCI due to an incomplete PCI scheme. In this case, the eNodeB may select an improper neighbor cell to deliver a handover indication, in accordance with the PCI reported by the UE, to cause a handover failure.
