  • the present invention relates to a method and arrangement in a wireless communication system, such as a cellular communication system, which includes mobile radio communication stations. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method and arrangement for better usage of available radio resources in CDMA and WCDMA system. DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART
  • Fig. 1 illustrates ten cells C1-C10 in a typical cellular mobile radio communication CDMA-system. Normally a cellular mobile radio communication system would be implemented with more than ten cells.
  • Each cell, C1-C10 is related to at least a logical base station, called Node B in the 3GPP standard specification.
  • the Node b BS A covers the cells CI, C6, C7.
  • the Node b BS B covers the cells CI, C2, C3.
  • the Node b BS C covers the cells C4, C5.
  • the Node b BS D covers the cells C4, C8.
  • the Node b BS E covers the cells C9, CIO.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates the Node b as situated at the cell border and provided with two or "" three antennas.
  • Fig. 1 also illustrates, nine mobile stations MS1-MS9 which are movable within the cells and from one cell to another.
  • a mobile station is defined as any mobile station, e.g. e mobile phone or a mobile computer provided with equipment for wireless communication.
  • a typical cellular mobile radio communication system there would normally be more Node b and mobile stations. In fact, there is typically many times the number of mobile stations as there are Node b.
  • a radio network controller RNC is also illustrated in fig. 1 a radio network controller RNC.
  • the interface between a RNC and a Node b is also called Iub interface.
  • the radio network controller RNC is connected to the Core Network CN through an Iu interface.
  • the Iu interface is not shown.
  • the RNC selects the cell, which is to be inserted in the active set of a mobile station.
  • the active set is the set of cells connected simultaneously to a given mobile station.
  • a Core Network is the network connected to a set of RNC, e.g. a fixed network.
  • a Node b is connected to one and only one RNC.
  • the radio network controller RNC, the Node b, and the mobile stations are all computer-controlled.
  • Each RNC is responsible for the resources in its set of Node b.
  • Two or more RNCs may be interconnected by means of an Iur interface.
  • An Iur interface can be conveyed over direct physical connection between two or more RNCs or virtual networks using any suitable transport network.
  • An Iur interface is an interface, which allows soft handover between different RNCs. The term soft handover will be disclosed below.
  • Iu and Iur are logical interfaces.
  • a System employing code separation is called a CDMA system.
  • the transmission of signals from a mobile station to a Node b is called uplink.
  • the transmission of signals from a Node b to a mobile station is called downlink.
  • Three main resources are managed in a radio access system using CDMA technology: • Interference in uplink due to power transmitted in the uplink • Power.
  • Soft handover implies that the mobile station is power controlled by several cells on the uplink or that several cells are power controlled by one mobile station on the downlink • Code, i.e. OVSF (Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor) codes in downlink.
  • OVSF Orthogonality between downlink physical channels of different rates and spreading factors .
  • Soft handover is a handover operation in which one mobile station MSI simultaneously communicates with several cells, e.g.
  • a soft handover is seamless and no information is lost during the handover process.
  • two or more Nodes b receive a signal from the mobile station, whereupon the signal is combined in the network. Normally, selection combining is used if the two cells belong to different Nodes b.
  • a mobile station receives a signal from two or more base stations, whereupon the signal is combined in the receiver, e.g. a rake receiver, of the mobile station. Normally, maximum ratio combining (MRC) is used.
  • MRC maximum ratio combining
  • a RAKE-receiver performs a correlation of receivers called fingers.
  • a finger is reserved for each path in order to provide diversity between multi-path components. Each finger is synchronized to one path. A rake finger picks up one multi-path component and suppresses the other. Normally, a maximum ratio combining (MRC) is output from the RAKE-receiver.
  • selection combining is performed in the radio network controller (RNC) , when the mobile station is connected to different Nodes b (BS A , BS B ) . The transmitted signal from the mobile station is received and decoded in all connected Node b (BS A , BS B ) and the signal power data is sent to the RNC.
  • RNC radio network controller
  • a softer handover is a handover process performed between two cells (C6, C7) belonging to the same Node b (BS A ) .
  • a softer handover operation entails less signaling in the network than a soft handover operation.
  • combining can be performed in the rake receiver of the Node b instead of in the network. Maximum ratio combining may be used in both uplink and downlink.
  • the set of cells to which a mobile station is connected is called the active set (AS) .
  • a mobile station can use different base station or nodes b on the uplink and downlink, respectively. Soft handover can thus be performed on the uplink and downlink, respectively.
  • An important soft handover parameter is the Add threshold parameter.
  • the Add threshold parameter is a threshold value based on which decision is taken, by a RNC, if a given cell can be inserted in the active set (AS) or not.
  • a given cell C6 is inserted in the active set if the difference between the best received signal power and the power of the signal received from the cell C6 is higher than the Add threshold value.
  • the best received signal power is the signal having the maximum power received from the cells in the active set.
  • the power is evaluated at the mobile station on the downlink and is typically measured on a primary common pilot channel (CPICH) .
  • the active set includes the best cell and at least a further cell having the above mentioned power difference higher than the Add threshold parameter, if the terminal is in soft handover. However, the maximum amount of cells in the active set limits the number of connected cells.
  • the Add threshold parameter and the maximum number of cells in the active set determines the number of cells that are involved in a soft/softer handover process in the system. If the Add threshold parameter value is small, the precentage of users in soft/softer handover will be small and vice versa.
  • the signaling aspects for the link between the Node b and the RNC, the Iub interface, for the link between two RNC, the Iur, and the UTRAN (Universal mobile telecommunications systems. Terrestial Radio Access Network) and the core network CN are not considered.
  • the probability of transmitting at a minimum power level increases with the number of cells in the active set. I.e., the more cells there are in the active set, the greater is the probability that one or more of these has a minimum absolute power.
  • every cell in the active set is transmitting, and thus the interference is increased.
  • Another important factor is the transmission resources in the fixed network. For a mobile station MSI in soft handover, all connected Node b (BS A , BS B ) belonging to different cells, require a transmission link to the Radio Network Controller RNC. Thus, a large percentage of mobile stations in soft handover will require a large amount of extra transmission resources in the access network.
  • the RNC controls every soft handover process that take place in a Node b.
  • the soft handover procedure is composed of a number of single functions :
  • the soft handover algorithm • Execution of handover Based on the measurements of the set of monitored cells, the soft handover function evaluates if any cell should be added to, removed from, or replaced in the active set.
  • the transmission uplink uses I/Q/code multiplexing for user data and control information for physical layer.
  • the physical layer control information is carried by the Dedicated Physical Control Channel (DPCCH) having a fixed spreading factor of 256.
  • the higher layer information, including user data, is carried on one or more Dedicated Physical Data Channels (DPDCHs) , having a spreading factor ranging from 4 to 256.
  • the uplink transmission may consist of one or more Dedicated Physical Data channels (DPDCH) having a variable spreading factor, and a single dedicated Physical Control Channel (DPCCH) having a fixed spreading factor.
  • the DPDCH data rate may vary on a frame-by-frame basis.
  • the DPDCH data is transmitted continuously and rate information is transmitted using a Transport Format Combination Indicator (TFCI) and DPCCH information related to the data rate on the current DPDCH frame. If the TFCI is not decoded correctly, the whole data frame is lost. Because the TFCI indicates the transport format of the same frame, the loss of TFCI does not affect any other frames. The reliability of the TFCI is higher than the reliability of the user data detection on the DPDCH. Therefore, the loss of TFCI is a rare event.
  • the uplink DPCCH uses a slot structure having 15 slots over a radio frame of 10 milliseconds. This results in a slot duration of 2560 chips or about 666 microseconds.
