These measurements are sent to the base station 20 1 . In another approach, the measurements are taken on a periodic basis.
- the base station 201 signals the UE 22 1 - 22 n to take measurements. Accordingly, the measurements are taken on-demand. The base station 20 1 updates the preference matrix 92 based on these measurements. The updated resource unit assignments are subsequently sent from the base station 20 1 to the UEs 22 1 - 22 n .
- FIG. 8 is a flow chart for fast DCA and will also be explained in conjunction with FIGS. 4 and 6 .
- a cell is assigned resource units for both the uplink and the downlink. The number of assigned resource units is based on the uplink and downlink bandwidth demand.
- the resource unit assignment device 58 will select additional resource units to allocate for uplink and downlink communications, step 106 . Using the preference matrix 92 , the resource unit assignment device 58 will assign a corresponding number of resource units from the available resource units, step 94 . When demand decreases, conversely, the resource unit assignment device 58 releases the resource units.
- the assignment device 58 searches through the preference matrix 92 until it reaches the first available acceptable time slot. To illustrate using matrix 92 , if two resource units were requested, starting at code 1 , slot 1 and first working left to right, code 1 , slots 5 and 6 would be selected. These slots are the first encountered acceptable slots.
- Another approach is least interfered channel.
- the assignment device 58 searches through the preference matrix 92 for the resource unit with the lowest code interference level. To illustrate, if one resource unit was selected, code 5 , slot 11 having a value of “10” is selected. Since this approach searches through the entire matrix 92 before selecting a resource unit, it requires more processing time. However, since the selected resource unit has the lowest interference level out of the available resource units, communication interference is reduced.
- a modified approach may be used. Using first available, the first available number of consecutive time slots would be assigned. For instance, if three time slots were to be assigned, code 1 , S 5 -S 7 would be selected. Using least-interfered channel, the consecutive time slots with the least interference are selected. For instance, if three were assigned, code 1 , S 11 -S 13 would be selected.
- multiple codes within a time slot are assigned, such as codes 1 -3, S 11 .
- a hybrid approach such as blocks, may be used—i.e. for four resource units, code 1 , S 11 -S 12 and code 2 , S 11 -S 12 .
- One technique for assigning resource units is to minimize the number of time slots used. By reducing the number of used time slots, interference to neighboring cells is reduced. Using the multiple threshold technique, when resource units need to be allocated initially, the system finds the time slot or slots with the maximum number of codes available as determined by the interference level. As a result, the minimum number of time slots are allocated for a given number of resource units.
- resource units are assigned to the time slots which already allocated codes to communications but still have codes available first. This allocation prevents additional time slots from being used. After the previously assigned time slots are used, new time slots are assigned with the time slot having the highest number of available codes being assigned first.
- FIG. 11 illustrates an approach for controlling the maximum number of codes assigned to a time slot. Generally, it is desirable to limit the number of time slots used. By not using time slots, these time slots are left available for use by other cross interfering cells.
- An interference level for each time slot is measured, 124 .
- a multiple threshold scheme is utilized to determine the number of codes that should be used in each time slot.
- the measured interference for each slot is compared to the multiple thresholds 126 , and a maximum number of time slots to assign is determined from the comparison, 128 .
- One multiple threshold scheme uses two thresholds, I 1 and I 2 as shown in FIG. 9 . If the measured interference level is below I 1 , multiple codes 110 may be assigned to the time slot. If the measured interference level is between I 1 and I 2 , one code 112 may be assigned in these time slots. If the interference level is above I 2 , no codes 114 may be used in this time slot.
- Another multiple threshold scheme uses more than two interference levels, I 1 , I 2 , . . . ,I n . If the measured interference level is above I n , no codes 122 are available. If between I n and I n-1 , one code 120 is available. The codes available for the time slot keep increasing by one per each threshold, I n-2 , I n-3 , etc., until the interference level is less than I 1 . When the interference is less than I 1 , n codes 118 are available for the time slot.

Description
- This application claims priority of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/901,289 filed Jul. 9, 2001, which in turn claims benefit of Provisional Application No. 60/217,093, filed Jul. 10, 2000 which are incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.
- The invention relates generally to resource allocation in wireless spread spectrum time division duplex communication systems using code division multiple access. More specifically, the invention relates to assigning time slots and codes in such systems.
-
FIG. 1 depicts a wireless spread spectrum time division duplex (TDD) communication system using code division multiple access (CDMA). The system has a plurality of base stations 20 1-20 7. Eachbase station 20 1 communicates with user equipments (UEs) 22 1-22 3 in its operating area or cell. Communications transmitted from thebase station 201 to the UE 22 1 are referred to as downlink communications and communications transmitted from the UE 22 1 to thebase station 20 1 are referred to as uplink communications. In addition to communicating over different frequency spectrums, spread spectrum TDD/CDMA systems carry multiple communications over the same spectrum. The multiple signals are distinguished by their respective codes. - Since a signal sent using a particular code is distinguishable from other signals in the same spectrum, each code creates a virtual communication channel within the spectrum. For use in distinguishing signals originating from different cells, each base station 20 1-20 7 has an assigned scrambling code, c*scramb. To transmit a specific data signal in such a system, the data signal is mixed with its base station's scrambling code, c*scramb, and spread using its assigned channel code.
- Also, to more efficiently use the spread spectrum, TDD/CDMA systems use repeating
frames 26 divided into a number of time slots 24 1-24 n, such as fifteen time slots, as illustrated inFIG. 2 . In such systems, a communication is sent in selected time slots 24 1-24 n using selected codes. Accordingly, oneframe 26 is capable of carrying multiple communications distinguished by both time slot 24 1-24 n and code. The use of a single code in a single time slot at a single frequency spectrum with a spreading factor of sixteen is referred to as a resource unit. If a lower spreading factor is used, the use of a single code in a time slot is considered more than a single resource unit. To illustrate, using a spreading factor of one for a code in a time slot is sixteen resource units. - A system using N time slots, S1-SN, M channel codes, Code 1-Code M, and O frequency spectrums, Frequency 1-Frequency O, is illustrated in the
Matrix 28 ofFIG. 3 . Each empty box in theMatrix 28 represents a single resource unit (if a spreading factor of sixteen is used). This Matrix 28 has a total of M×N×O resource units. A typical TDD system uses 15 time slots, 16 channel codes and one or multiple frequency spectrums. Based on the bandwidth required to support a communication, one or multiple resource units are assigned to that communication. - One problem in such systems is assigning resource units in the presence of radio interference. Radio interference has multiple causes, such as nearby radio frequency sources and cross interference by signals transmitted in neighboring cells. Sending a communication over a resource unit with a high interference level may result in a loss of signal data.
- One technique for dealing with this problem is to measure the interference level in each time slot immediately prior to assigning resource units to a communication. Only resource units in time slots having acceptable interference levels will be assigned to the communication. Although this technique reduces the possibility of signal data loss, it does not eliminate all resource units suffering unacceptable interference levels. Additionally, measuring the interference levels immediately prior to assignment requires extensive monitoring using valuable system resources. Accordingly, there exists a need for an alternative approach for assigning resource units.
- Resource units are assigned within a cell of a wireless time division duplex communication system using code division multiple access. Each resource unit is associated with a time slot and a code. For selected ones of the cell's resource units, the code interference level is measured during that unit's time slot and using that unit's code. The code interference level is compared to a threshold to determine whether that unit has an acceptable code interference level. Resource units are assigned to communications out of the unit's having acceptable interference levels.
- A code power measurement device for measuring an interference level with respect to a desired code potentially used in a code division multiple access communication system includes an input, a correlating device, and a power measurement device. The input is configured to receive a signal corresponding to a received radio frequency spectrum potentially used by the desired code. The correlating device correlates the received signal with the desired code. The power measurement device measures a power level of the correlated signal.

FIG. 4 is asimplified base station 20 1 and UE 22 1 used to implement slow and fast dynamic channel allocation (DCA).FIG. 5 is a flow chart of slow DCA. The flow chart ofFIG. 5 will be described in conjunction with thepreference matrix 92 ofFIG. 6 .FIG. 6 is an illustration of apreference matrix 92 created as a result of slow DCA in a TDD/CDMA system having 16 channel codes, 15 time slots and one frequency. Each box in thematrix 92 represents one out of 240 possible resource units. - Initially, the radio frequency power interference level in each time slot is measured, such as by interference signal code power (ISCP) or determining inter-cell interference, by link gain,
step 80. The ISCP may be measured using the midambles of received communication bursts, although other ISCP measurement techniques may be used. Each time slot's interference is measured at either thebase station 20 1, UEs 22 1-22 n or both. For time slots interference measurements taken at thebase station 20 1, the base station'santenna 30 receives various radio frequency signals. The received signals are passed through anisolator 32 to ademodulator 36 to produce a baseband signal. A time slotinterference measurement device 52 processes the baseband signal to measure the interference level, such as by ISCP, within each time slot 24 1-24 n of theframe 26. - For time slot interference measurements taken at the UEs 22 1-22 n, the UE's
antenna 60 receives various radio frequency signals. The received signals are passed through an isolator or switch 62 to ademodulator 64 to produce a baseband signal. A time slotinterference measurement device 78 processes the baseband signal to measure the interference level, such as by ISCP, within each time slot 24 1-24 n. The time slot measurements taken at eachUE 22 1-22 n are typically signaled to thebase station 20 1. Alternately, the measurements may be multiplexed with the uplink data sent to thebase station 20 1 produced by thedata generator 78. - A
comparator 56 at thebase station 20 1 compares each time slot's interference level to a threshold,step 82. If only thebase station 20 1 took time slot interference measurements, each of these measurements is compared to the threshold. If only the UEs measurements are used, thecomparator 56 compares the average for each time slots interference level to the threshold. If measurements from thebase station 20 1 and UEs 22 1-22 n are used, a weighted average of each time slot's measurement is used with the base station's given higher weight. If UE measurements or UE and base station measurements differ significantly, each will use its own measurements to determine time slot availability. Alternately, averaging may still be applied. If a time slot's interference level is above the threshold, all the resource units associated with that time slot are eliminated for potential assignment to communications,step 84. The resourceunit assignment device 58 eliminates all the eliminated time slots' resource units in the storedpreference matrix 92. To illustrate usingFIG. 6 ,time slot 4 has an unacceptable interference level. All of the resource units in the column undertime slot 4 are marked with an “X” indicating that they are eliminated from potential assignment. Additionally, other time slots are eliminated because they are reserved for other purposes, such as for a broadcast channel, and are likewise marked with an “X”. - For each resource unit in time slots having acceptable interference levels, the code power interference level is measured,
step 86. The code power measurements may be taken at thebase station 20 1 with code powerinterference measurement device 50, UE's code powerinterference measurement devices 68 or both. Code power measurements taken at theUE 20 1 are either signaled or multiplexed with uplink data. -
FIG. 7 depicts one possible code powerinterference measuring device code power measurement signal 94 representing the received frequency spectrum is input into the code power measurement device. Theinput signal 94 may be a radio frequency, an intermediate frequency or a baseband signal. Acode correlation device 96 correlates the input signal with the code of interest. Thecode correlation device 96 may be a despreader, a correlator or a matched filter. If the code of interest is a complex code, the correlator may perform a complex multiplication for the correlation. Thepower measurement device 98 sums the power of the correlated chips. If a complex code is used, the sum is the sum of the magnitude of the complex chips. The resulting sum is thecode power 100 for the code of interest. The code power measurement is taken during each time slot to be measured. The measured power may be indexed into a short hand value, such as “1” to “10” inFIG. 6 . - Each non-eliminated resource unit's code interference level is compared to a threshold at
comparator 54. If only thebase station 201 took code interference measurements, these measurements are compared to the threshold. If only the UE's measurements are used, thecomparator 54 compares the average of these measurements to the threshold. If measurements from thebase station 20 1 and UEs 22 1-22 n are used, a weighted average is used. Typically, the base station's measurement is given a higher weight. Alternately, the interference measurements may be UE 22 1-22 n specific. Furthermore, if UE measurements or UE and base station measurements differ significantly, each will use its own measurements. Each UE's measurement is compared to a threshold for use in resource assignments for that UE 22 1-22 n. Each UE 22 1-22 n has itsown preference matrix 92, if UE specific. - If a resource unit's code interference level is above the threshold, the resource unit is eliminated from being assigned,
step 88. The resourceunit assignment device 58 eliminates the resource unit in thepreference matrix 92. To illustrate usingFIG. 6 , the resource unit associated withtime slot 2 andchannel code 1 has an unacceptable interference level and is marked in thematrix 92 with an “x”. The resourceunit assignment device 58 also stores inpreference matrix 92 an indicator of the code interference level of the acceptable resource units,step 90. As shown in thepreference matrix 92, the interference levels are indicated with a value of “1” to “10” with a “1” having a high marginally acceptable code interference level and a “10” having an extremely low code interference level. - The base station's resource
unit assignment device 58 sends signals to the base station'sdata estimation device 48,channel estimation device 46 and spreading and training sequence insertion devices 42 1-42 n to control which codes and time slots are used by each device. Thechannel estimation device 46 anddata estimation device 48 process the baseband signal in the time slots and appropriate codes assigned to the uplink communication's burst and the base station's scrambling code, c*scramb. The assigned time slots and codes are sent to thechannel estimation device 46 anddata estimation device 48 from the resourceunit assignment device 58. Thechannel estimation device 46 commonly uses the training sequence component in the baseband signal to provide channel information, such as impulse responses. The channel information is used by thedata estimation device 48 to estimate the data in the received burst. - Data to be sent to the UEs 20 1-20 n, such as over a traffic channel, is generated by data generators 44 1-44 n. The data is assigned one or multiple resource units based on the communications' bandwidth requirements by the resource
unit assignment device 58. Each spreading and training sequence insertion device 42 1-42 n mixes the data with the base station's scrambling code, c*scramb, spreads the data and makes the spread reference data time-multiplexed with a training sequence in the appropriate time slots and codes of the assigned resource units. The output of the spreading and training sequence insertion devices are referred to as a communication burst. Each communication burst is subsequently amplified by a corresponding amplifier 40 1-40 n. Each amplified communication burst is summed by a sum device 38 with any other communication burst created through other devices. The summed communication bursts are modulated by amodulator 34. The modulated signal is passed through anisolator 32 and radiated by anantenna 30, as shown, or, alternately, through an antenna array. The radiated signal is passed through awireless radio interface 80 to the UEs 22 1-22 n. - The base station's resource unit assignment device also sends the resource unit assignments to the UEs 22 1-22 n. The assignments may be signaled to the UEs 22 1-22 n or multiplexed with traffic data. The sent assignments are used by the UE's resource
unit assignment device 76 to determine which resource units are assigned to the UE's downlink and uplink channels. - For the received downlink data, the
channel estimation device 68 anddata estimation device 70 processes the received baseband signal in the time slots and appropriate codes assigned to the downlink communication burst and the base station's scrambling code, c*scramb. The assigned time slots and codes are sent to thechannel estimation device 68 anddata estimation device 70 from the resourceunit assignment device 58. Thechannel estimation device 68 commonly uses the training sequence component in the baseband signal to provide channel information. The channel information is used by thedata estimation device 70 to estimate the data in the received burst. Uplink data is generated by adata generator 78. The uplink data is assigned one or multiple resource units based on the communication's bandwidth requirements. Spreading and trainingsequence insertion device 74 mixes the data with the base station's scrambling code, c*scramb, spreads the data and makes the spread reference data time-multiplexed with a training sequence in the appropriate time slots and codes of the assigned resource units. The assigned resource units are sent to the spreading and trainingsequence insertion device 74 by the resourceunit assignment device 76. The resulting sequence from the spreading and trainingsequence insertion device 74 is referred to as a communication burst. The communication burst is subsequently amplified by anamplifier 72. The amplified communication burst is modulated to radio frequency by themodulator 66, passed through anisolator 62 and radiated by anantenna 60 or, alternately, by an antennal array. The radiated signal passes through thewireless radio interface 80 to thebase station 20 1. - The
preference matrix 92 used by the resourceunit assignment device 58 may be updated on a per frame basis or on a more periodic basis. Using a statistical analysis, thepreference matrix 92 may be updated from a period of minutes to a daily basis. In one approach, the user equipments 22 1-22 n measure the time slot interference level and the code interference level during the idle time between successive reception and transmission bursts. These measurements are sent to thebase station 20 1. In another approach, the measurements are taken on a periodic basis. In a different approach, thebase station 201 signals the UE 22 1-22 n to take measurements. Accordingly, the measurements are taken on-demand. Thebase station 20 1 updates thepreference matrix 92 based on these measurements. The updated resource unit assignments are subsequently sent from thebase station 20 1 to the UEs 22 1-22 n. -
FIG. 8 is a flow chart for fast DCA and will also be explained in conjunction withFIGS. 4 and 6 . To support communications, a cell is assigned resource units for both the uplink and the downlink. The number of assigned resource units is based on the uplink and downlink bandwidth demand. When the cell requires additional resource units, the resourceunit assignment device 58 will select additional resource units to allocate for uplink and downlink communications,step 106. Using thepreference matrix 92, the resourceunit assignment device 58 will assign a corresponding number of resource units from the available resource units,step 94. When demand decreases, conversely, the resourceunit assignment device 58 releases the resource units. - One approach for selecting resource units is first available. Using this technique, the
assignment device 58 searches through thepreference matrix 92 until it reaches the first available acceptable time slot. To illustrate usingmatrix 92, if two resource units were requested, starting atcode 1,slot 1 and first working left to right,code 1,slots - Another approach is least interfered channel. The
assignment device 58 searches through thepreference matrix 92 for the resource unit with the lowest code interference level. To illustrate, if one resource unit was selected,code 5, slot 11 having a value of “10” is selected. Since this approach searches through theentire matrix 92 before selecting a resource unit, it requires more processing time. However, since the selected resource unit has the lowest interference level out of the available resource units, communication interference is reduced. - In systems using adaptive power control, it is advantageous to assign consecutive time slots. In such systems, a modified approach may be used. Using first available, the first available number of consecutive time slots would be assigned. For instance, if three time slots were to be assigned,
code 1, S5-S7 would be selected. Using least-interfered channel, the consecutive time slots with the least interference are selected. For instance, if three were assigned,code 1, S11-S13 would be selected. - Similarly, to minimize the number of time slots used, multiple codes within a time slot are assigned, such as codes 1-3, S11. Additionally, a hybrid approach, such as blocks, may be used—i.e. for four resource units,
code 1, S11-S12 andcode 2, S11-S12. - One technique for assigning resource units is to minimize the number of time slots used. By reducing the number of used time slots, interference to neighboring cells is reduced. Using the multiple threshold technique, when resource units need to be allocated initially, the system finds the time slot or slots with the maximum number of codes available as determined by the interference level. As a result, the minimum number of time slots are allocated for a given number of resource units.
- After the initial allocation, resource units are assigned to the time slots which already allocated codes to communications but still have codes available first. This allocation prevents additional time slots from being used. After the previously assigned time slots are used, new time slots are assigned with the time slot having the highest number of available codes being assigned first.
-
FIG. 11 illustrates an approach for controlling the maximum number of codes assigned to a time slot. Generally, it is desirable to limit the number of time slots used. By not using time slots, these time slots are left available for use by other cross interfering cells. - An interference level for each time slot is measured, 124. To determine the number of codes that should be used in each time slot, a multiple threshold scheme is utilized. The measured interference for each slot is compared to the
multiple thresholds 126, and a maximum number of time slots to assign is determined from the comparison, 128. One multiple threshold scheme uses two thresholds, I1 and I2 as shown inFIG. 9 . If the measured interference level is below I1,multiple codes 110 may be assigned to the time slot. If the measured interference level is between I1 and I2, onecode 112 may be assigned in these time slots. If the interference level is above I2, nocodes 114 may be used in this time slot. - Another multiple threshold scheme uses more than two interference levels, I1, I2, . . . ,In. If the measured interference level is above In, no
codes 122 are available. If between In and In-1, onecode 120 is available. The codes available for the time slot keep increasing by one per each threshold, In-2, In-3, etc., until the interference level is less than I1. When the interference is less than I1,n codes 118 are available for the time slot.
