Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of Radio Resource Management (RRM) for Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) with special focus on packet services.
- RRM Radio Resource Management
- CDMA Code Division Multiple Access
- SHO Soft Handover
- a packet Mobile Station is in the DTX (Discontinuous Transmission) mode, and performing unnecessary SHO updates during DTX does not contribute to the system performance.
- this object is achieved by a method of determining an allocation period for packet data in a communication system.
- the method comprises the step of collecting measurements from mobile stations.
- a maximum allocation period for at least one possible base station for transmitting data packets to the mobile station is determined on the basis of the collected measurements, and a base station out of the possible base stations is determined on the basis of the at least one determined maximum allocation period. Then, the determined base station and a corresponding allocation period are selected.
- the above-mentioned object is achieved by a control device for determining an allocation period for packet data in a communication system.
- the control device comprises a control entity which is adapted to collect measurements from mobile stations and to determine, on the basis of the collected measurements, a maximum allocation period for at least one possible base station for transmitting data packets to the mobile station.
- the control entity determines a base station out of the possible base stations on the basis of the at least one determined maximum allocation period.
- the control entity comprises a scheduling entity which selects the determined base station and a corresponding allocation period.
- HHO Hard Handover
- RAN Radio Access Network
- the packet allocation period can be adaptively determined, and may be made shorter near cell boarders.
- Fig. 1 shows a schematic block diagram illustrating handover and packet scheduling according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- Fig. 2 shows a diagram of slow fading variation versus packet transmission time.
- Fig. 3 shows a diagram of a safe packet allocation period.
- Fig. 4 shows a diagram of a maximum allocation period for uncorrelated slow fading.
- the idea of the present invention is to determine a maximum packet allocation period (i.e. transmission times) for at least one possible base station, during which packet sending can be done without handover.
- a maximum packet allocation period i.e. transmission times
- the probability is small that the cell becomes inappropriate within a transmission which takes place in the cell which was the appropriate one when the packet transmission started.
- a Packet Scheduler should be able to separate or at least identify the Mobile Stations (MSs) that are in a handover area, i.e. near cell boarders.
- This information may be extracted by a Radio Network Controller (RNC) in a Radio Access Network (RAN) to which the MSs attach, on the basis of an active Base Station (BS) update rate or from Energy per Chip to Interference Ratio (Ec/Io) values.
- RNC Radio Network Controller
- RAN Radio Access Network
- Ec/Io Energy per Chip to Interference Ratio
- the PS may be located in the RNC or may be located in a Base Transceiver Station (BTS) .
- BTS Base Transceiver Station
- an MS transmits measurement reporting towards the RAN. These measurements may be current SHO measurements.
- the RNC collects and processes the measurements transmitted from the MS. On the basis of these measurements, the RNC may identify whether the MS is in the handover area. Moreover, from the processed measurements, the RNC is able to determine maximum allocation periods for possible BSs and to determine an appropriate or even best BS out of the possible BSs on the basis of the determined maximum allocation periods. During the maximum allocation period of the best cell the probability is small that another cell becomes the best cell.
- the RNC communicates the information about the maximum allocation periods and the appropriate or best BS to the PS.
- the PS selects the appropriate or best BS for the MS, and then transmits data packets for the MS to the selected BS with a bit-rate of the MS and an allocated period set in accordance with the maximum allocation period of the selected BS .
- HHO Hard Handover
- the principle behind the idea of solely using HHO is due to the fact that packet transmission calls are shorter than circuit-switched calls. According to the above-described algorithm, during the transmission of a packet, a packet MS does not perform any handover update.
- the BS is selected and then the PS allocates certain capacity.
- the RNC determines the maximum allocation period for the MS.
- An allocation period has to be set every time a new BS is chosen. An allocation period is also set when the previous allocation period ends. It may not be necessary to make handover after the allocation period has expired, but a new allocation period has to be estimated (if there is still data to transmit) .
- This allocation period depends on the amount of change in the radio channel, which on its turn depends on the slow fading and the path loss change. The change due to path loss is small compared to the change in shadow or slow fading, so the change in path loss can be ignored.
- Re is the correlation coefficient and X (t) is a normally distributed random number.
- the handover area is quite large (i.e. 40 percent of users or MSs are potentially candidates for handover in a macro cell environment), it is important that the handover is considered in the packet scheduling.
- the slow fading limits the transmission period. In order to avoid interference in the case of "active set" (i.e. BS) changes, the slow fading should be considered in the packet scheduling.
- the maximum capacity allocation period determined by the PS for a packet terminal or MS should be smaller than the average active BS update if HHO is used. This will ensure that within the packet transmission period, there are no large changes in the slow fading.
- the average buffer size in one packet call is roughly 12 kbytes. At 32 kbps, this requires an average of 3 seconds of transmission. As the packet size has large variance, it is not uncommon to have 10 seconds of transmission period. This can either be segmented into smaller transmissions in different allocation periods, or be transmitted in a high bit rate bearer. Then the expected transmission period will be much less (i.e. ⁇ 3 seconds) . With respect to Fig. 2, at a speed of 50 km/h and a transmission time of 3 seconds with a slow fading with a standard deviation of 10 dB, an average of 2 dB change is expected. This is quite acceptable.
- the best way to obtain the maximum allocation period is by setting some confidence such that within the defined period, there is a low probability of handover. This can be represented by Fig. 3. As identified earlier, the expected standard deviation as a function of time for slow fading increases. Thus, the probability that the Ec/Io value of any BS exceeds that of the appropriate or best BS depends on the MS speed, the initial Ec/Io difference ( ⁇ Ec/Io) between the appropriate or best BS and the other BSs, and the slow fading properties of the channel. By setting a confidence interval, the maximum allocation period can be determined.
- Fig. 4 shows the safe period, i.e. the maximum allocation period, as a function of Ec/Io for various speeds and initial ⁇ Ec/Io values with an uncorrelated shadow fading with a standard deviation of 10 dB.
- the small maximum allocation periods do not have to be as small as shown in Fig. 4, since the average difference in the case of an appropriate or best BS change is small if the maximum allocation period is small.
- the current SHO measurements are sufficient to implement the algorithm described with reference to Fig. 1.
- Fig. 4 has to be taken into account in packet scheduling. For this purpose, a simple addition in software is needed in the RNC.
