- T s is a basic time unit and is called a sampling time, and T s has a value of 1 / (15000x2048) [sec].
- the values of N TA , N TAoffset and T s are exemplary only, and are not limited to the above exemplary values, and an appropriate value may be selected according to system requirements.
- the downlink (DL) serving cell eg, macro base station
- the received signal power is selected based on path loss.
- (UL) serving cells eg, micro base stations.
- the terminal is located closer to the micro base station than the macro base station. Since the transmit power of the macro base station is higher than the transmit power of the micro base station, even if the terminal is located adjacent to the micro base station, the downlink signal strength from the macro base station may be greater than the downlink signal strength of the micro base station. This serving cell can be selected. In this case, since the distance between the macro base station and the terminal is far in the uplink transmission to the macro base station, the uplink signal can be transmitted with a higher transmission power to compensate for this. At this time, the micro base station adjacent to the terminal may receive a large interference due to the high power uplink transmission.

- the macro terminal served by the macro base station is closer to the micro base station than the macro base station
- the macro terminal The UL signal may cause strong interference to the micro base station.
- the distance between the terminal and the interfering cell is close in the DL channel, inter-cell interference between the micro base station and the macro base station may occur.
- the micro base station is a CSG micro base station configured to serve only a specific terminal, even if the macro terminal is within the coverage of the micro base station, it does not receive DL / UL service from the micro base station, and still communicates with the macro base station. Can cause. For example, if a particular macro terminal has moved to an adjacent place of the micro base station operating as a CSG, the uplink of the micro base station is severely interfered with the uplink signal transmitted by the terminal to the macro base station.
- the base station avoids interference by adjusting the frequency or time resources used for the uplink / downlink transmission of the corresponding UE not to be used. You can do it.
- the macro terminal UE1 adjacent to the micro base station HeNB1 avoids a frequency resource that transmits an uplink signal to the macro base station MeNB1 at high power, thereby preventing the micro terminal UE1 from the micro base station HeNB1. ) To send a signal.
- an uplink subframe boundary of a micro base station means a boundary in which uplink subframes from a micro terminal to a micro base station are divided, and a downlink subframe boundary of a micro base station is a downlink from a micro base station to a micro terminal. It means a boundary in which subframes are divided.
- an uplink subframe boundary of a macro base station means a boundary in which uplink subframes from a macro terminal to a macro base station are divided, and a downlink subframe boundary of a macro base station is from a macro base station to a macro terminal. It means a boundary in which downlink subframes are divided.
- the meaning that the uplink (or downlink) subframe boundary of the macro base station and the micro base station is coincident means that a predetermined error (ie, the uplink (or downlink) subframe boundary of the macro base station and the micro base station is acceptable). For example, in the case of an OFDM-based system, this includes matching within a cyclic prefix (CP).
- the macro terminal UE1 and the micro terminal UE1 may consider transmitting the interference avoidance on the time axis. In other words, the MUE1 may not be transmitted when the MUE1 is transmitted and the MUE1 may not be transmitted when the HUE1 is transmitted. In this case as well, the subframe boundary of the macro base station and the subframe boundary of the micro base station must coincide.
- subframes of the macro base station and the micro base station are basically used. The boundaries are required to match.
- the base station estimates a propagation delay with the terminal based on a time point when the base station receives the uplink transmission signal of the terminal, and transmits the uplink transmission of the terminal to compensate for this.
- the base station transmits a timing advance command (TAC) to the terminal to indicate that the view is advanced, so that the uplink timing synchronization of the terminal can be synchronized.
- TAC timing advance command
- the micro base station does not perform uplink transmission to the macro base station. Therefore, the method of synchronizing the uplink timing of the terminal by providing the TAC based on the timing at which the base station receives the uplink signal from the terminal cannot be applied as it is to the micro base station.
- Embodiments 1 and 2 propose two schemes as in the following Embodiments 1 and 2 according to whether the micro base station can receive the downlink signal of the macro base station.
- Embodiment 1 relates to a method of matching subframe boundaries of a micro base station when the micro base station can receive a downlink signal of the macro base station.
- FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a method in which a micro base station acquires a downlink subframe boundary (FIG. 8 (a)) and matches the subframe boundary of the micro base station (FIG. 8 (b)).

A timing advance of 2Dp, which is twice the propagation delay Dp, is required.
- the propagation delay between MUE1 and MeNB1 has a value similar to the propagation delay between HeNB1 and MeNB1. Because, in general, the distance between MeNB1 and MUE1 is sufficiently large compared with the distance between HeNB1 and MUE1, it is assumed that the distance (or propagation delay) from MeNB1 to MUE1 is substantially the same as the distance (or propagation delay) from MeNB1 to HeNB1. Because you can.
- the MUE1 transmits an uplink signal with a timing advance of approximately 2Dp on a downlink subframe basis, and the uplink signal from the MUE1 (that is, the interference signal for the HeNB1) has a very small propagation delay to the HeNB1. You get there.

- the boundary of the uplink subframe from the micro terminal and the uplink subframe boundary from the macro terminal may coincide.
- the micro base station in order for the micro base station to perform timing adjustment of the uplink signal from the micro terminal, the micro base station is bounded by the downlink subframe from the macro base station and the propagation delay from the macro base station to the micro base station (or the macro base station). The propagation delay to the macro terminal adjacent to the micro base station in FIG.
- the micro base station since the micro base station only knows the boundary of the downlink subframe from the macro base station, and cannot know the timing of transmitting the downlink signal from the macro base station, the micro base station cannot calculate the propagation delay Dp itself. none. Therefore, the macro base station must provide a timing advance command (TAC) to the micro base station, and since there is no uplink from the micro base station to the macro base station, there is no means for the macro base station to measure the timing advance value for the micro base station. .
- TAC timing advance command
- the present invention proposes that the macro base station acquires a propagation delay Dp or a timing advance value 2Dp for the micro base station in an indirect manner, thereby providing the micro base station with an appropriate timing advance value for use by the micro base station.
- timing advance technique uplink time synchronization technique
- each terminal continuously accumulates the timing adjustment value (or timing advance value) received from the base station to determine the uplink transmission time point of the current time point. That is, the timing adjustment value is a value indicating how much to adjust relative to the latest uplink timing from the terminal from the position of the base station.

- the present invention proposes a method in which the micro terminal attempts random access to the macro base station and reports the timing advance value obtained in this process to the micro base station. Since the micro base station generally has a small cell coverage, the micro terminal may be regarded as being located adjacent to the micro base station. Further, the distance from the macro base station to the micro base station is sufficiently larger than the distance from the micro base station to the micro terminal. Therefore, the distance (or propagation delay) from the macro base station to the micro base station may be regarded as substantially the same as the distance (or propagation delay) from the macro base station to the micro terminal. Therefore, the timing advance value to be used by the micro base station may appear substantially the same as that of the micro terminal. 10 shows a signal flow diagram for this embodiment.

- the third step is a message 3 (Msg3) transmission step, the terminal may transmit data including its own identifier (that is, message 3) to the base station by using the UL grant included in the random access response (S1023).
- the fourth step is a message 4 (Msg4) receiving step.
- the terminal transmits the message 3 and receives a contention resolution message including its identifier, the terminal determines that the random access procedure has been performed normally and randomly The access process may be terminated (S1024). Details of the execution of the random access procedure are omitted for clarity because the details are irrelevant to the features of the present invention.

- the micro terminals need to receive a control signal from the micro base station on the first 1 to 3 OFDM symbols of every subframe.
- the micro base station cannot receive the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) from the macro base station.
- the present invention proposes two methods of receiving a micro cell control channel from a macro base station as follows.
- a microcell control channel may be formed by reusing a channel designed for a relay node (RN).
- the channel designed for the repeater means a channel having a different structure and format from the existing wireless channel to support the repeater.
- PDCCH and PDSCH for a repeater on a backhaul downlink from a donor cell to a repeater are referred to as a relay-PDCCH (R-PDCCH) and an R-PDSCH (Relay-PDSCH) in the sense of a relay dedicated physical channel.
- R-PDCCH relay-PDCCH
- Relay-PDSCH Relay-PDSCH
- the macro base station may transmit a micro cell control channel to the micro base station.
- Each micro base station reads an R-PDCCH mapped to its cell ID (cell ID) in a semi-statically defined DL subframe and receives an R-PDSCH according to a corresponding control message.
- Cell ID cell ID
- the micro cell control channel for each micro base station may be mapped to the R-PDCCH or R-PDSCH.
- a micro cell control channel via a PDSCH of a semi-statically determined location.
- the macro base station transmits subframe indexes, periods, allocated resources, used modulation and coding schemes (MCS), etc., in which the micro cell control channel exists through higher layer signals or system information. Accordingly, the micro cell control channel may be periodically transmitted to the micro base station.
- 12 illustrates an example of periodic transmission of a micro cell control channel.
- the macro base station may transmit the micro cell control channel once in two radio frames (ie, in a period of two radio frames).
- the micro base station can decode the micro cell control channel without PDCCH decoding of the macro base station.

- MMSFN multicast broadcast single frequency network
- the micro-terminals recognize that no cell-specific reference signal is transmitted in the subframe set to the MBSFN except for the PDCCH region, and reflect this fact in the reference signal measurement. That is, even while the micro base station receives the micro cell control channel from the macro base station, the micro terminals served by the micro base station can correctly receive the downlink signal according to the operation of the existing MBSFN subframe reception.
- the aforementioned micro cell control channel may include additional information for smooth cooperative communication between the macro base station and the micro base station.
- the additional information may include information indicating radio resources to be used (or not used) by each micro base station (subframe index, subband index, component carrier index, etc.), and resource allocation information of the macro base station (some subs). Transmit power in a band, a precoding matrix index to be used, etc.), power control information of each micro base station, and the like.
- Embodiment 2 relates to a method of matching subframe boundaries of a micro base station when the micro base station cannot receive the downlink signal of the macro base station.
- the micro base station cannot receive the downlink signal of the macro base station. In this case, the micro base station cannot directly obtain the boundary of the downlink subframe from the macro base station.
- the present invention proposes a method of matching the subframe boundary of the micro base station with that of the macro base station with the help of the terminal.
- HUE1 may acquire a downlink subframe boundary from HeNB1 (S1310), and may acquire a downlink subframe boundary from macro base station MeNB1 (S1320). HUE1 may calculate the time difference between the two downlink subframe boundaries (the time difference between the downlink subframe boundary from HeNB1 and the downlink subframe boundary from MeNB1) and report the result to HeNB1 (S1330). Accordingly, HeNB1 may adjust the start time of its downlink subframe in consideration of the time difference reported from HUE1.
- the downlink subframe may operate similarly to the scheme of FIG. 13.

Accordingly, HeNB1 may adjust the start time of its downlink subframe in consideration of the time difference reported from HUE1.
- the downlink subframe boundary time difference reporting operation of the macro terminal may be simplified. That is, the macro terminal may transmit a predetermined specific signal (for example, a specific PRACH preamble signal) to the micro base station, instead of transmitting the time difference information between the two downlink subframe boundaries.
- a predetermined specific signal for example, a specific PRACH preamble signal
- the micro base station is a CSG base station
- since the macro terminal cannot transmit a PUSCH to the micro base station it is necessary to use a message such as PRACH preamble transmission in a random access procedure to report time difference from the macro terminal to the micro base station.
- the micro base station that detects the specific signal may interpret the specific signal as a signal for requesting to advance or push back the downlink subframe boundary. Accordingly, the micro base station may take a corresponding subframe boundary adjustment operation.
- the micro base station may match the uplink subframe boundary with the uplink subframe boundary of the macro base station with the help of the macro terminal.
- the micro base station may detect an uplink signal of a macro terminal located close to the micro base station.

Accordingly, the micro base station may match its uplink subframe boundary to the uplink transmission timing of the macro terminal based on the estimated timing advance value.
- the signal of the macro terminal detected by the micro base station may be an uplink reference signal or a sounding reference signal. In order for the micro base station to detect an uplink reference signal / sounding reference signal transmitted from the macro terminal to the macro base station, it is necessary to know information of the reference signal.
- the micro base station is an uplink reference signal or sounding used by the macro base station and the macro terminal through a controller such as a micro base station gateway (for example, a femto cell gateway) connected by a wired network.

- the micro base station matches its uplink and downlink subframe boundaries with those of the macro base station (particularly those of the macro terminal adjacent to the micro base station), as a result, the uplink ( The uplink from the micro terminal to the micro base station) subframe starts earlier than the downlink (downlink from the micro base station to the micro terminal) subframe.
- the conventional timing advance command is a method in which a base station provides a terminal-specific timing advance value for each corresponding terminal.
- the same timing advance value is separately signaled to all the micro terminal (s) it serves. Providing through may result in waste of radio resources.
- the micro base station transmits a common timing advance value applied to all terminals belonging to the micro base station in a broadcast signal such as system information, or transmits a group to a plurality of terminals.
- overhead of a control signal can be reduced by defining a timing (Advanced TAC) command and transmitting a timing advance value to all the micro terminals serving one TAC in one TAC transmission.
- the micro base station establishes an uplink subframe boundary or a downlink subframe with the micro terminal in such a manner that the base station starts the boundary of its uplink subframe at a timing earlier than the boundary of the downlink subframe.
- the boundary may coincide with an uplink subframe boundary or a downlink subframe boundary between the macro base station and the macro terminal.
- the subframe boundary matching method is advantageous in terms of interference coordination with the macro terminal, but instead, the time required to decode uplink data received by the micro base station or downlink data received by the micro terminal is reduced. have. This is because the current 3GPP LTE system is required to transmit an acknowledgment (ACK / NACK) for the decoding result after a certain time (for example, 4 ms) from the transmission point of the data.
- the micro base station may match the boundary of its uplink subframe with the boundary of its downlink subframe in order to secure time available for decoding. . That is, the micro base station may adaptively adjust the time difference between its uplink and downlink subframe boundary according to the presence or absence of an adjacent macro terminal.
- Embodiment 3 is directed to a method for reducing inter-cell interference when Embodiments 1 and 2 described above are difficult to apply. In other words, it is assumed that the subframe boundary of the micro base station cannot match the subframe boundary of the macro base station as described above.
- the micro base station can adjust the uplink subframe timing from the micro terminal to the micro base station with an appropriate TA value.
- the micro base station sets its own uplink subframe boundary (that is, when the micro base station receives the uplink subframe boundary from the micro terminal). It is proposed to coincide with the timing of transmitting the downlink subframe boundary. That is, regardless of the subframe boundary of the macro base station, the micro base station itself may operate to match its downlink and uplink timing like a normal base station.
- FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating generation of interference due to an uplink signal from an adjacent macro terminal when an uplink subframe boundary and a downlink subframe boundary of the micro base station coincide with each other.
- interference may occur in the corresponding overlapping part.
- the micro base station configures all or part of an uplink subframe that it uses as a cell-specific sounding reference signal (SRS) configuration. . Since a specific subframe is configured as a cell-specific SRS transmission subframe, the PUSCH or the PUCCH of the micro terminal is not transmitted in the last SC-FDMA symbol of the subframe.
- SRS sounding reference signal
- FIG. 16 a subframe used by a micro base station for uplink transmission from a micro terminal is based on an uplink subframe configuration (that is, one subframe includes 14 SC-FDMA symbols) in a general CP case.
- FIG. 4 illustrates a method of setting all or a part of the cell-specific SRS configuration.
- uplink transmission is blank in a specific subframe index (eg, subframe #n) among uplink subframes from the macro terminal UE1 to the macro base station MeNB1.
- the blank of uplink transmission can be applied to all of one subframe (ie, all 14 SC-FDMA symbols).
- the micro base station HeNB1 receives the PUSCH and / or the PUCCH through an uplink subframe (eg, subframe #k) from the micro terminal HUE1. can do.
- the next subframe for example, subframe #n
- subframe #n a portion in which an uplink transmission starting from subframe # n + 1 and an uplink transmission of HUE1 collides (or overlaps) may occur (for example, SC-FDMA symbol # of MUE1 subframe # n + 1). 0 and SC-FDMA symbol # 13 of HeNB1 subframe #k).
- the collision part (SC-FDMA symbol # 13 of subframe #k) is set by setting the uplink transmission subframe of HUE1 to a cell-specific SRS configuration.
- PUCCH or PUSCH transmission may not be performed from HUE1.
- the macro base station and the micro base station may coordinate to distinguish subframes that can be freely used by each. For example, the odd subframe may be used by the macro base station and the even subframe may be adjusted to be used by the micro base station. If there is coordination on the use of such subframes, the micro base station can set the cell-specific SRS configuration only for all or part of the subframes that can be freely used. Information on the set of subframes in which the cell-specific SRS configuration is set may be exchanged during coordination of the macro base station and the micro base station.
- the present embodiment relates to a method of solving the interference problem with the macro base station by adjusting the transmission power of the micro base station that does not have a separate channel for communication with the macro base station.
- a micro base station In a heterogeneous network environment, a micro base station (particularly a femto cell base station or a home eNB (HeNB)) has a problem that it is difficult to avoid interference by a planned installation because the user installs without a separate cell planning process.
- the micro base station since the micro base station (particularly the femto base station) is not directly connected to and synchronized with the macro base station, it is difficult to perform an interference avoiding operation by direct instruction from the macro base station. Therefore, when the micro base station having such a property is installed in the area of the macro base station, the macro terminal adjacent to the micro base station is subjected to strong interference, resulting in poor communication quality.
- the macro terminal UE1 receives a strong interference from the micro base station HeNB1 and thus does not correctly receive a signal from the macro base station MeNB1, which is its serving base station.
- This embodiment proposes a method in which a micro base station receives a power control command (PCC) or an interference overload indication (IOI) from a macro base station to adjust its downlink transmission power.
- PCC power control command
- II interference overload indication
- an interference overload indication is defined as a signal for notifying a neighboring cell that an uplink signal from a terminal served by a neighboring cell to a neighboring cell causes large interference in uplink of a specific terminal.
- the present invention proposes to apply this concept to the case of downlink as well. That is, the IOI may be used as a signal indicating that the downlink signal from the neighbor cell causes a large interference in the downlink of a specific terminal.
- the present invention proposes to separately define the UL IOI and DL IOI to distinguish the uplink and downlink. That is, if a specific cell is subjected to strong uplink interference from a neighbor cell, a UL IOI can be transmitted to the neighboring cell, and if a strong downlink interference is received, a DL IOI can be transmitted.
- each macro terminal UE receives a downlink signal from a neighboring micro base station HeNB (S1810), measures the power of the received signal (S1820), and provides a measurement result to a serving macro base station (MeNB). ) Can be reported (S1830).
- the MeNB may determine whether the transmission power of the specific micro base station (HeNB) is too high based on the reported received power, causing a problem in its downlink signal quality (S1840).
- the MeNB may instruct the MUE adjacent to the HeNB to transmit a PCC (or an IOI signal indicating that it is experiencing high interference) to the HeNB. (S1850).
- the MUE having received such an indication may transmit a signal (PCC) requesting to lower the transmission power to the corresponding HeNB or a signal (IOI) indicating that the transmission power is too high (S1860). Accordingly, the HeNB may lower its downlink transmission power (S1870).
- step S1860 when the macro terminal transmits the PCC or IOI to the micro base station, it is difficult to use a channel for general data or control signals. This is because micro base stations (especially femto cells) are not synchronized with macro cells. In addition, if the micro base station is a CSG base station, the macro terminal may not be able to transmit the PUCCH or PUSCH to the micro base station. Accordingly, the present invention proposes a method of transmitting a PCC or IOI to a micro base station through a physical random access channel (PRACH). Since the PRACH is a channel designed for use when the base station and the terminal are not completely synchronized, it is effective to use the macro terminal to transmit a signal to a neighboring micro base station which is not synchronized.
- PRACH physical random access channel
- the micro base station may reserve some of its PRACH preambles for use for PCC or IOI. For example, in the case of a micro base station having a total of 64 PRACH preambles from PRACH preamble indexes 0 to 63, a specific preamble (eg, preamble index 63) may be reserved for PCC or IOI use.
- a specific preamble eg, preamble index 63
- the micro base station does not serve a large number of micro terminals, it is also considered that the PRACH preamble resources are relatively free.
- the PRACH preamble reserved for PCC or IOI use it is preferable to limit the PRACH preamble not used for initial access. This is because, when a terminal (for example, a micro terminal) attempting to connect to the micro base station attempts initial access using the reserved PRACH preamble, it may cause confusion in the operation of the micro base station.
- the micro base station When the micro base station receives the reserved PRACH preamble (for example, preamble index 63) as described above, the micro base station recognizes it as a PCC or IOI transmitted from the macro base station through the macro terminal and reduces its downlink transmission power. can do.
- the micro base station receiving the preamble reserved for interpretation as PCC may perform an operation of decreasing the transmission power by a predetermined amount (for example, by 1 [dB]).
