Definitions
- the present invention is related to the field of cellular telecommunications. More particularly, the present invention involves a method and apparatus for improving the downlink Carrier-to-Interference ratio (C/I) by means of antenna pattern downtilt while maintaining uplink signal strength.
- C/I downlink Carrier-to-Interference ratio
- maintaining and/or improving speech quality is of great importance.
- One factor which can significantly and adversely affect speech quality is the presence of co-channel interference.
- Co-channel interference occurs when two or more cells (i.e., co-channel cells) located adjacent to one another or in relatively close proximity to one another reuse (i.e., share) the same frequency or set of frequencies. In essence, a signal being transmitted over a reused frequency in one cell is perceived as interference in the other cell.
- Reuse distance is generally understood to be the distance between two cells (i.e., co-channel cells) that reuse the same frequency or set of frequencies.
- co-channel interference decreases (i.e., signal strength diminishes with distance).
- a higher reuse distance inherently implies a less efficient utilization of the available frequency spectrum.
- the available frequency spectrum has remained constant.
- cellular service providers are forced to increase the capacity in their systems and use the available frequency spectrum in the most efficient manner. This in turn tends to decrease rather than increase reuse distance. Consequently, techniques that rely on increasing reuse distance to counter the effect of co-channel interference are not an overly practical or attractive solution in terms of efficient spectrum usage.
- Yet another method for reducing co-channel interference involves adjusting the orientation or tilt angle of the base station antenna.
- the base station antenna transmits and receives telecommunications signals to and from the various mobile units operating within the corresponding cell, herein referred to as the target cell.
- the target cell By redirecting the antenna so that the antenna beam points further and further below the horizon, the energy associated with the antenna beam is, to a greater extent, directed into the target cell and away from any adjacent cells or co-channel cells in close proximity to the target cell.
- the objective of directing the main beam of the vertical antenna pattern towards a point below the horizon is to reduce the antenna gain towards interfering cells without causing a large reduction of the signal strength in the target cell.
- uplink interference received by the base station antenna in the target cell is reduced, since the antenna gain to interfering mobile stations in co-channel cells is reduced.
- downlink co-channel interference received by the mobile units operating in co-channel cells caused by transmissions emanating from the base station antenna in the target cell is reduced due to a lower antenna gain. Tilting all antenna patterns to a point below the horizon to reduce co-channel interference, therefore, leads to a gain in the Cairier-to- iterfer ⁇ nce ratio (C I) in both uplink and downlink in the system. This gain can be utilized to improve the quality of the communication or to allow a tighter reuse pattern.
- C I Cairier-to- iterfer ⁇ nce ratio
- Tilting of the vertical antenna beam can be achieved either mechanically or electrically.
- a particular mounting arrangement can be used to achieve the desired tilt by mechanical means.
- the radiating elements have a phase excitation resulting in an electrically tilted main beam.
- C I Camer-to-Interference ratio
- an increase in the tilt angle 101 of the antenna beam 103 effectively reduces the coverage area of the target cell despite the fact that it reduces the level of uplink co-channel interference in the target cell and downlink co-channel interference in nearby co-channel cells.
- the maximal coverage reduction thus limits the C/I gains obtainable by antenna tilting.
- One approach to this tradeoff is addressed in a co-pending U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 08/941,204 entitled "Method and Apparatus for Optimizing Antenna Tilt" where a method for applying antenna downtilt is proposed.
- the optimum downtilt angle for each base station is derived from system measurements of the uplink interference in the target base station and downlink coverage measurements in the mobile station.
- the transmitted antenna pattern may be tilted to provide optimal downlink C/I gain, which allows for a tighter frequency reuse pattern and higher capacity in the system. This may result in a reduction in downlink signal strength at the cell border, which can be compensated by increased transmission power.
- the coverage limiting uplink signal strength can be maintained. If this results in a higher level of uplink interference at a tighter frequency reuse, this interference can be managed by means of techniques such as base station antenna receiver diversity and interference rejection combining (IRC).
- IRC interference rejection combining
- FIG. 1 illustrates the relationship between antenna tilt angle and target cell coverage area in accordance with the prior art
- FIG. 2 illustrates a cellular telecommunications network in accordance with the prior art
- FIG. 3 illustrates downlink C/I as a function of antenna tilt angle for various antenna installation heights
- FIG. 4 illustrates a base station with separate uplink and downlink antennas
- FIG. 5 illustrates a duplex antenna arrangement with separate uplink and downlink networks
- FIG. 6 illustrates an antenna arrangement with distributed downlink phase shifters.
- Fig. 2 illustrates an exemplary cellular telecommunications network 200 comprising the cells Cl-ClO.
- Fig. 2 also illustrates that each cell Cl-ClO contains at least one base station, for example, base stations B1-B10.
- the base stations communicate directly with the various mobile units M1-M10.
- AMPS Advanced Mobile Phone System
- MSC mobile switching center
- the MSC provides a number of functions including, but not necessarily limited to, frequency allocation and transmitter power level control.
- GSM Global System for Mobile Communication
- BSC base station controller
- the present invention addresses the problem of co-channel interference by establishing an optimal tilt angle for each base station antenna pattern, i.e., transmit downlink and receive uplink, as a function of interference reduction.
- a tilt angle for the transmit pattern can be determined by measuring: (i) the downlink interference in neighboring co-channels cells by mobile receivers, e.g., using mobile assisted channel allocation (MACA) or mobile assisted handoff (MAHO) measurements and (ii) the downlink coverage in the target cell (i.e., a mobile station's own received signal strength).
- MCA mobile assisted channel allocation
- MAHO mobile assisted handoff
- a tilt angle for the receive pattern can be evaluated by measuring: (i) the uplink signal strength on channels used by the mobile stations in the target cell; and (ii) the uplink interference experienced by base stations in co-channel cells.
- This type of simulation in conjunction with one for downlink cell coverage, provides empirical results from which a system designer or operator can select an optimal tilt angle for the transmit pattern.
- the uplink antenna 400 has a first tilt angle ⁇ which may, for example, be close to zero degrees ( 0 * ) from the vertical plane to the antenna axis, providing the uplink coverage 420.
- the downlink antenna 410 is given a second downtilt angle ⁇ , which is typically greater than the first angle a as measured, also from the vertical plane to the antenna axis, providing the downlink coverage 430.
- the tilt may be applied either as a mechanical tilt (e.g., using a servomotor to physically move the antenna) or as an electrical beam tilt (as described below).
- the two antennas can be arranged in one common mechanical structure or as two mechanically separate antennas.
- a duplex filter 550 is connected to each radiating element 570 in a linear array. The filter 550 separates the signals in a transmit distribution network 500 and a receive combination network 590.
- an antenna has a pair of fixed main beams. One of these beams is used for transmitting a signal while the other beam is used for receiving a signal.
- the antenna of Pig. 5 has two signal ports 510 and 580. One of these ports 510 is for transmission while the other port 580 is for reception.
- the ports 510 and 580 may be combined into a common port by using an additional duplex filter. The concept of using separate transmit and receive networks can also be used with more than one radiating element connected to each duplex filter.
- Fig. 6 illustrates a block diagram of an antenna with distributed downlink amplifier modules 630 including a phase shifter. In receive mode, a passive combination network will give a fixed downtilt angle.
- the antenna may also be designed with a low noise amplifier in the uplink.
- a low noise amplifier in the uplink.
- One such implementation is with one amplifier connected to the combined signal port of the uplink combination network 690.
- Another alternative is with several distributed low noise amplifiers connected to the duplex filters before the combination network.
- duplex filters and amplifiers are included in the antenna
- the number of radiating elements connected to each duplex filter may vary, both within a design and between different antenna designs.
- This invention makes it possible to achieve a substantial gain downlink C/I by antenna pattern downtilt without causing a reduction in the coverage limiting uplink signal strength, for a given antenna size, mounting height and site to site distance.
