Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a communication system.
  • the area covered by the network is divided into a number of cells.
  • Each cell is served by a base transceiver station which transmits signals to and receives signals from terminals located in the respective cell associated with a particular base transceiver station.
  • the terminals may be mobile stations which are able to move between cells.
  • Radio Network Management of the radio resources is normally done in a distributed way in the current networks.
  • a base station controller BSC
  • BSC base station controller
  • CDMA Code Division Multiple Access
  • RNC radio network controller
  • the base station is sometimes referred to as Node B.
  • Node B the base station
  • the term base station will be used.
  • the controllers in both of these systems are arranged to control a number of base stations. However the number of base stations which are controlled are relatively small. Accordingly, with this approach the efficiency of any resource management function or algorithm is limited by the fact that the coordination of the usage of the • resource is possible only within the controller's own limited resources.
  • a further problem is that the algorithms used by the controllers use information received via the existing interfaces of the controller, and the possibility of transferring new information or measurements is restricted. This would require either the modification of the existing standard interfaces or the provision of new interfaces. It would not be practical to implement this on all of the controllers of a network.
  • the limitations of the radio controller boundaries also have particular relevance when a network operator owns more than one radio access system (for example a CDMA system and a GSM system) with a common coverage area. This is because there is a need for a common management and coordination of the allocation of resources of the different system so that multimode terminals can be controlled to use the optimum one of the access systems.
  • a multimode terminal is able to access both access systems.
  • controllers such as base station controllers, radio network controllers or base stations themselves will not permit the advantages of multimode terminals to be fully realised.
  • the number of network operators who will use more than one radio access system is expected to increase drastically, given current developments.
  • third generation systems such as CDMA
  • other systems such as Wireless LAN (local area network) , IS-41 (a US version of CDMA) , etc are being developed.
  • a distributed management of the resources has a further disadvantage in that it does not allow overall control of the Quality of Service offered to the end user. This is because the distributed resource managers have control of only part of the resources that has an impact on the quality of service for an end user.
  • Distributed management of the resources also has limitations in terms of operability. This is because the introduction of new features and the changing of existing parameters has to be done by accessing each one of the distributed control entities (for example the radio network controller, the base station controller or base station) .
  • the different entities may be provided by different manufacturers and so have different user interfaces .
  • the handover decision (i.e. the decision if and to which cell the handover shall be performed for a terminal) is based on terminal measurements and other mobile station specific information as well as some static handover parameter and target cell information set via operation and maintenance (this latter parameter is normally originated by radio network planning tools) .
  • This handover mechanism has the following drawback.
  • the handover decision cannot take into account the dynamic information of all of the target cells unless all of them are controlled by the same controller.
  • the dynamic information may be for example the cell load, the channel availability, the interference level, or the like.
  • the candidate target cells are controlled by different controllers.
  • the handover decision cannot be taken based on dynamic parameters unknown to the controller, such as load of other network elements, transport load, CN (Core network) load or the like.

  • One radio network controller 16 is shown as controlling two base stations whilst the other radio network controller is shown as controlling a single base station. This is by way of example only and each controller may be responsible for one, two or more base stations.
  • the base station controllers 14 and the radio network controllers 16 are each connected to a common radio resource manager CRRM 18.
  • the function of the CRRM 18 will be described in more detail hereinafter.
  • the CRRM 18 may be connected directly to each of the base stations.
  • the CRRM 18 is connected to network elements upstream of the base station controllers and the radio network controllers such as mobile services switching centres or higher level elements.
  • the CRRM 18 is arranged to receive data relating to all of the cells.
  • the CRRM 18 can receive data relating to other network elements, such as switches. For example the CRRM 18 can receive congestion information about switches.
  • the CRRM 18 is designed to have simple interfaces with the controllers which can provide the CRRM 18 with the information that is required for the CRRM to perform the resource management algorithms.
  • the interfaces are intended to be flexible, so that they can permit new parameters to be acquired if it is desired that the new parameter be used in a new or existing CRRM function. It is preferable that no modification to the other network elements be required as this will make the modification of the resource management easy to achieve.
  • the interfaces are also intended to be compatible with equipment made by other vendors, so that the CRRM 18 can be connected to equipment provided by other vendors.
  • the interface may have a standard construction with an application layer and a transport layer. This type of construction is well known and will not be described in further detail .
  • the CRRM 18 provides functions that can be grouped into the following areas:
  • Radio resources other than radio resources such as core network resources, transport resources, switches, hardware and/or software processors, transport and/or transmission equipment, databases or the like.
  • the CRRM is not a single physical entity as described above. Rather the CRRM is implemented by distributing the functionality in different physical network elements. For example the functionality could be implemented in one or more of the following network elements : base station controller; radio " network controller; and IP based base stations. These entities are by way of example only and the functionality may be implemented in any other entity.

  • each entity 100 may be connected to every other entity 100 but this can result in an excessive number of connections .
  • each entity may be connected to only one other entity. However this can increase considerably the signalling traffic in the network, and also may make the CRRM functions very slow.
  • each entity By having each entity connected to several others of the entities, but not every one, a reasonable compromise can be achieved between the number of connections and the speed of the CRRM function.
  • Each of the entities would carry out its normal function which may include obtaining, generating or providing information which is used in a CRRM function. That information may be forwarded to one or more of the other entities. In some cases that information will be forwarded to further ones of the entity. Likewise each entity will also receive information.
  • the most appropriate entity 100 will make the CRRM decision based on information which that entity has. This may take into account the information from the entity itself and at least one other entity. Some of the decisions made by the CRRM functionality of the entity will only take into . account information from that entity 100. It should be appreciated that information can be processed in two or more of the entities and that processed information may be used by the CRRM functionality of one of the entities. This alternative may be advantageous for the realization of features that require large amount of processing.
  • the function of the Common Radio Resource Manager is to act as a policy manager for the access to the resources required by the radio bearers. By coordinating the use of radio and non radio resources, the capacity of the radio access system or systems may be increased.
  • Figure 2 shows schematically the relationship between CRRM 18, cell level radio resource management 30 and user level radio resource management 32.
  • the CRRM 18 functions differ from the distributed resource management functions executed by the cell level radio resource management 30 (user level radio resource management 32) , because in the cell level RRM and user level RRM the resources of one cell and user respectively are managed independently from the resource utilised by other cells and users respectively.
  • the control at the cell level is managed by the cell level radio resource management 30 whilst the control at the user level is managed by the user level radio resource management 32.
  • the cell level radio resource management controls channel allocation, loading in the cell and admission control based on interference.
  • the cell level radio resource management thus manages algorithms relating to the cell .
  • the user level radio resource management controls basic handovers, the quality loop and the radio bearer parameter selection.
  • the user level radio resource management tends to control parameters not related to the cell such as call set up.
  • the CRRM 18 controls the features of radio resource management relating to multiple cells.
  • the cell and user level resource management functions are provided in the base station controller, the radio network controller and/or the base station.
  • the cell level radio resource manager thus makes decisions relating to the radio resource for a given user using only the information relating to the cell in which the user is currently located.
  • the user level radio resource manager thus makes decisions relating to a given user using information relating to that user only. In both of these cases only information from one of the radio access systems can be used.
  • the CRRM will use information from a number of cells which can be from one or more different radio access systems. Even where information from a single radio access system is used, more information from different cells will be available than for decisions made by the cell and user level radio resource managers .
  • the OSS may be connected to the base station controllers and radio network controllers.
  • the OSS may have direct or indirect connections to all network elements.
  • the OSS operates to provide a long term correction of network parameters using statistical analysis of performance, while the resource management provided by the CRRM 18 has a more rapid response time (in the order of the duration of a call) .
  • OSS can also be referred to as Network Management system (NMS) .
  • NMS Network Management system
  • Self regulation features can either be implemented via CRRM or OSS, depending on the required response time.
  • Self regulation refers to the capability of the network to autonomously tune, that is change the value of,- some parameters and configuration settings according to the load and radio conditions currently encountered. In practice, various measurements, counters and/or statistics are used to analyse the current conditions and to trigger when needed, appropriate modifications of the relevant parameters and/or of the network configuration.
  • the OSS functions 40 have the highest hierarchy level. This means that decisions made by the OSS overrule any other radio resource decision.
  • the CRRM function 42 has the next highest hierarchy level and over rides radio resource decisions made by lower levels.
  • the CRRM function 42 can be regarded as having two levels 43 and 45.
  • the higher level 43 makes decisions which take into account the conditions in cells using different radio technologies (and belonging to a number of base station controller areas and radio network controller areas) .
  • the lower level 45 makes decisions within one radio access technology, that can also be at the base station controller area, the radio network controller area or the like.
  • the next level 44 has the functions of the cell level radio resource management. A separate function is provided for each radio access system.
  • the next level 46 has the function of the user level radio access management and again a separate function is provided for each of the different radio access systems discussed in relation to the cell level radio resource management layer.
  • the cell and user level radio resource management layer positions may be reversed in alternative embodiments of the present invention.
  • the user plane 48 has the lowest hierarchy level. The user plane allows the data to be put into a format so that it can be transmitted over the air interface. The user plane also provides functions such as fast power control and fast scheduling of data for shared channels. The user plane thus provides radio link control in the radio network controller and medium access control .
  • the functions and features supported by the CRRM can be subdivided in intra-layer functions 50 and inter-layer functions 52.
  • the intra layer functions 50 includes the functions that coordinates the use of resources which interfere with each other (for example one radio frequency band) and the latter including the functions that coordinates the use of resources not directly interfering with each other.
  • the intra-layer functions allows the co-ordination of the resource allocation among interfering entities (i.e. users and cells using the same carrier(s)). Those functions normally control the channel allocation and the intra layer handover.
  • separate intra layer functions 50a-d are provided for each of the different radio access systems. Layers 50a and b are provided to support the FDD radio access system.
  • Layers 50c and 50d support the EDGE radio access network and the IP based radio access networks respectively.
  • Each of the intra layer functions is arranged to control radio resource allocation within the radio access system associated with the respective radio access system.
  • the inter layer functions 52 allows the co-ordination of the resource allocation among non interfering entities. Those functions are normally controlling the idle mode cell selection, the cell reselection and the inter layer handover. In other words the inter layer functions take into account the conditions in at least two of the radio access systems or layers when making a decision.
  • FIG. 5 shows a single CRRM 18 which is arranged to work with a number of different radio access networks.
  • the radio access systems are as follows:
  • An IP based UMTS terrestrial radio access network 60 connected to the CRRM 18;
  • radio access network66 Any other radio access network66 which could be supported (for example WLAN IEEE802.11b, WLAN IEEE802.11a, HiperLAN/2 , CDMA 2000, UWC.136 or the like).
  • Radio resource allocation decisions are made by the CRRM taking into account the conditions in one or more of these radio access systems. If the decision only uses information from one of the access systems, then an intra layer decision is being made. If the decision is being made based on information in more than one radio access system, then an inter layer decision is being made.
  • FIG. 6 shows a model of the CRRM with the various inputs received by the CRRM.
  • the RAN O&M 90 as well as the cell level and mobile level radio resource managers 30 and 32 are all incorporated in the radio network controller (in case of UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network - UTRAN, release -99) or the base station controller (in case of GSM/EDGE BSS Release -99) .

  • the base station controller in case of GSM/EDGE BSS Release -99
  • a single interface between the CRRM and the RNC or BSC is required.
  • these elements may be in different network elements.
  • the CRRM performs the following four basic actions (or a subset of them) :
  • CRRM makes a request to the relevant entity (for example to the cell level radio resource managers in an IP RAN network or the like) for information about the cell status which is received via input 72.
  • the CRRM can also request other information from remote network elements such as:
  • the server status may for example be the server's operational status
  • the loading can be a parameter such as bit rate which gives an indication as to the loading of the element;
  • the exact information that is required depends on the specific functions implemented in the CRRM, but only one common mechanism to retrieve this information is designed.
  • the mechanism used to retrieve this information can take any suitable form and may for example be that used in the third generation standard for the measurement procedure in Iub and/or Iur or can use a database enquiry mechanism.
  • the use of a single mechanism does not prevent the CRRM from obtaining, with the same mechanism, status of entities other than cells (for example switches, network elements NE, etc.).
  • Periodical or event triggered mechanisms for the retrieval of the information are used. For example a report can be provided in response to a request or can be generated in response to the occurrence of an event or after an elapsed time.
  • Action 2 Prioritisation on the candidate target cell list
