  • interference represents a significant issue in particular for HeNB deployment.
  • the reason is that initial operator deployments may use the same frequency for both the HeNB and the macro networks .
  • femto cells on the cell edge have been identified to be the critical ones.
  • a user i.e. a UE 1 which is connected to a macro cell 4 (controlled by a corresponding network control node like an eNB 3) , but which is close to a femto cell 5 (controlled by a corresponding local network control node like a HeNB) which is located relatively far away from its serving (macro) eNB 3 may face a weak signal component from the macro cell, but a strong interference component from the femto cell 5 (from the HeNB thereof) .
  • the UE 1 is not allowed to connect to the femto cell 5 (i.e. its HeNB) even if the HeNB signal is much stronger than that of the macro eNB 3, for example due to (commonly implemented) HeNB access restrictions (HeNB with CSG) .
  • a UE 2 being connected to the macro cell 4 and located close to a femto cell 6 (controlled by a cor ⁇ responding local network control node like a HeNB) which is located relatively close to its serving (macro) eNB 3 may face a strong signal component from the macro cell.
  • a cor ⁇ responding local network control node like a HeNB which is located relatively close to its serving (macro) eNB 3 may face a strong signal component from the macro cell.
  • the critical femto cells to be considered for interference issues are those in the close vicinity of the Macro eNB 3.
  • UEs and HeNBs located close to the eNB 3 may be more problematic.
  • the HeNB device may be located in the 2nd floor of a building while the user i.e. the UE 8 is in ground floor where the path loss between the HeNB and the UE 8 is increased for example by 2 times the ceiling loss)
  • the UE 8 connected to the HeNB may transmit with a relatively high transmit power.
  • a neighboring us- ers like UE 9 connected to the macro eNB 3 may use a rela ⁇ tively small transmit power, for example due to the low distance to the eNB 3 and the used (LTE) power control for ⁇ mula ensuring that the dynamic range capabilities of the eNB receiver are satisfied (eNB has to detect far users with high path-loss at the same time) .
  • the interfer ⁇ ence component caused by the UE 8 with regard to the UE 9 may be significantly strong.
  • the number of HeNBs lo ⁇ cated in the macro cell coverage area is to be considered. In case this number is high, the management of HeNBs may be difficult. For example, in case no interface between macro eNBs and the HeNBs, such as an X2 interface in 3GPP LTE), there exists no coordination capability. Therefore, accord ⁇ ing to examples of embodiments of the invention, a high de- gree of self-configuration for the local network control nodes like the HeNB is provided.
  • the problem of wide area (macro) cell performance re ⁇ duction due to an interference from HeNBs may be solved by adjusting the transmission (TX) power of the HeNBs such that HeNBs in large distance to the Macro eNB reduce their power.
  • TX transmission
  • this can be done by the HeNB autono ⁇ mously, provided that it has the capability of measuring the signal strength of downlink reference signals, e.g. be ⁇ fore switching on the HeNB (also referred to as "neighbor listening mode”) .
  • Another approach may be to use UE measurements of users connected to the macro eNB, which however requires a communication between the macro eNB and the re ⁇ spective HeNB and is thus rather complex.
  • one solution may be to adjust the HeNB power control parameters such that its users (UEs connected to the femto cell) transmit always with a very small power. Based on the above described power control formulas (1) and (2), this means that small P0 values (such as P 0 PUCCH and/or P 0 PUS CH settings) are to be used. From a purely signal strength perspective this solution may be justified by the typically very small cell area of a HeNB. However, the interference level at HeNBs may be rather high, since interfering macro UEs may be located closely. This is in particular an issue for HeNB (femto) cells located close to the cell edge.
  • P0 values such as P 0 PUCCH and/or P 0 PUS CH settings
  • a femto cell being at the (macro) cell edge could use very high POs, while it is noted that such a femto cell is less critical to the uplink transmis ⁇ sion of the macro cells (in other words, the users con- nected to far HeNBs represent only a small interference risk for the macro eNB) .
  • a femto cell located close to the macro eNB may be critical for the macro cell with regard to interference, while it is noted that such a femto cell may use a small P0 value.
  • power control parameters of a HeNB are set or adjusted ac ⁇ cording to the position of the femto cell (i.e. the HeNB) with respect to the served area of the "umbrella" macro eNB .
  • the power control parameters may be set/adjusted autono ⁇ mously by the HeNB.

Abstract

La présente invention se rapporte à un mécanisme permettant d'effectuer des réglages de commande de puissance pour une commande de puissance en liaison montante dans un élément de réseau commandant une connexion de communication à un équipement utilisateur, et depuis ce dernier, tel qu'une station de base ou un nœud B évolué commandant une soi-disant femtocellule (nœud HeNB). Les paramètres de commande de puissance d'un nœud HeNB sont réglés selon la position de la femtocellule par rapport à la zone desservie du macronœud eNB « parapluie ». Le nœud HeNB peut régler les paramètres de façon autonome, par exemple sur la base de ses propres mesures du macronœud eNB voisin. On prend en considération les mesures de l'affaiblissement de propagation, les paramètres de commande de puissance et d'autres paramètres, tels que la marge de puissance et/ou un affaiblissement de propagation dans le pire des cas, fournis par le réseau. Le nœud HeNB règle les paramètres se rapportant à la commande de puissance de telle sorte qu'aucun équipement utilisateur (UE) connecté à ce dernier ne transmette avec une puissance supérieure à une puissance maximale prédéterminée.
