Definitions
- the present invention relates to wireless communication technologies, and more particularly to cell selection techniques. Background technique
- the network system should first determine which base station is serving the user equipment.
- the cell selection criterion is based on the signal power or quality received by the user equipment. For example, in a 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, for a user equipment, the reference signal received power is selected (Reference Signal Received). Power, RSRP) The largest base station serves it.
- LTE Long Term Evolution
- RSRP Reference Signal Received
- a heterogeneous network is defined as a hybrid network deployment that includes a macro base station, a pico base station, a home base station, and a relay station.
- Heterogeneous nodes have different transmission transmit powers, and usually the transmission power of pico base stations and home base stations is much smaller than that of macro base stations. Because the coverage of the pico base station is small, only a small number of users are connected to the pico base station, causing the macro base station to have a high load and the pico base station to have a low load. This makes the available resources of the pico base station not fully utilized, and the competition for available resources on the macro base station is still high.
- the design of the bias cell selection scheme does not consider the important factor of interference, and thus in some cases, better system performance cannot be obtained, especially when heterogeneous nodes are deployed at the center of the macro cell. Since the transmission power of the macro base station is much higher than that of the pico base station, the pico base station that is likely to provide the service must set a high offset value to ensure that it is selected as the serving base station.

Description
异构网络中的小区选择方法及装置 技术领域
本发明涉及无线通信技术, 尤其涉及小区选择技术。 背景技术
对于无线蜂窝网络而言, 有效通信的一个重要程序就是小区选 择。 也就是说, 当一个用户设备在蜂窝网络中开机之后, 网络系统 应首先确定由哪一个基站为该用户设备提供服务。 现有技术中, 小 区选择准则是基于用户设备接收到的信号功率或质量, 例如在 3GPP 长期演进( Long Term Evolution, LTE )系统中, 对于一个用户设备, 将选择参考信号接收功率( Reference Signal Received Power, RSRP ) 最大的基站为其服务。
目前, 异构网络( heterogeneous network ) 已经被 LTE- A研究项 目所接受。 异构网络被定义为一种混合网络部署, 其中包括宏基站、 微微基站、 家用基站以及中继站。 异构节点具有不同传输发射功率, 通常微微基站和家用基站的传输功率远小于宏基站。 因为微微基站 的覆盖范围较小, 只有很少的用户连接到微微基站, 造成宏基站负 载很高而微微基站负载很低。 这样使得微微基站的可用资源得不到 充分利用, 而宏基站上对可用资源的竟争仍然很高。
另外, 异构网络中存在很强的干扰, 尤其是当宏基站、 异构基 站以及中继站同时发送无线信号时。 为了确保上述情形下系统工作 的性能, 小区之间的干扰协调 (ICIC ) 是非常关键的。 这将使得小 区选择更加复杂, 异构网络中的小区选择非常不同于传统蜂窝网络。 现有技术中的小区选择方案不足以在异构网络中取得理想的效果。 发明内容
对于异构网络, 选择服务小区最流行的方法是偏置小区选择方 案,其可以用公式表达为: CeU— ID = arg max^RSR^ + bias^。其中, RSRPt 和 分别表示第 i个小区的参考信号接收功率和偏置值; 对于宏小
区而言, 该偏置值为零; 而对于微微小区而言, 该偏置值为非负。 也就是在根据信号接收质量来选择服务小区时, 对微微小区给予一 定的补偿, 这种方案对于平衡负荷从而充分利用可用无线资源起到 一定的作用。 然而, 偏置小区选择方案的设计没有考虑干扰这一重 要因素, 因而在有些情况下不能获得较好的系统性能, 特别是当异 构节点被部署在宏小区的中心时。 由于宏基站的传输功率远高于微 微基站, 使得有可能提供服务的微微基站必须设置一个高偏置值以 确保被选为服务基站。
本发明的一个主要目的是为了弥补现有技术中的不足, 提供一 种适于异构网络的小区选择的技术方案。

图 6 示出了根据本发明一个实施例的在异构网络中的资源分配 的示意图。 如图 6所示, 该实施例中的无线通信系统包括站点 608、 第一类基站 61 1、 612、 613 , 第二类基站 621、 622、 623。 第一类基 站的传输功率高于第二类基站, 亦即第一类基站的覆盖范围大于第 二类基站。 第一类基站例如但不限于宏基站、 进化型节点 B。 第二 类基站例如但不限于微微基站、 家用基站、 中继站。 该实施例中的 无线通信系统采用三等分蜂窝网络规划, 环绕站点 608规划了三个 等分的小区; 第一类基站 611、 612、 613均安置于站点 608 , 其各自 的信号分别覆盖三个等分的小区之一。 第一类基站 611 的信号覆盖 第一小区, 第二类基站 621位于第一小区之内。 第一类基站 612的 信号覆盖第二小区, 第二类基站 622位于第二小区之内。 第一类基 站 613的信号覆盖第三小区, 第二类基站 623位于第三小区之内。
本领域技术人员根据前述小区选择的方法及装置应能理解, 位 于一个第一类基站的小区之内的用户设备的服务基站可能有以下几 种情形:
第一类用户设备位于第一类基站的小区边缘, 受到的相邻小区 的干扰较强, 难以满足前述小区选择方法及装置中提及的预定条件, 因此直接由第一类基站服务。
第二类用户设备位于第二类基站的覆盖范围之内, 由第二类基 站提供服务。
第三类用户设备位于第一类基站的小区中心区域, 具有良好的 信号接收质量, 不满足前述小区选择方法及装置中提及的预定条件, 因此直接由第一类基站服务。
该实施例中釆用以下资源调度方案减轻干扰。
系统带宽被划分为四个相互正交的子频带 Fl、 F2、 F3和 F4。 三个相邻小区的边缘区域分别被分配不同的子频带, 小区中心 区域复用另一子频带。 具体地, 子频带 F1分配给第一小区的边缘区 域, 子频带 F2分配给第二小区的边缘区域, 子频带 F3分配给第三 小区的边缘区域, 子频带 F4由各小区的中心区域复用。 一个第一类 基站的小区之内的第二类基站可以使用与该小区边缘区域以及中心 区域所分配的子频带相正交的其他子频带来服务于第二类用户设 备。 例如, 第一小区中的第二类基站 621使用子频带 F2和 /或?3来 服务于第一小区中的第二类用户设备;第二小区中的第二类基站 622 使用子频带 F1和 /或 F3来服务于第二小区中的第二类用户设备; 第 三小区中的第二类基站 623使用子频带 F1和 /或 F2来服务于第三小 区中的第二类用户设备。
显然, 相比于一般的资源分配方案, 通过采用以上资源分配方 案, 第一类用户设备能够获得更佳的接收性能, 因为来自相邻小区 的强烈干扰由于子频带间的正交性而可以被降低。 而第三类用户设 备的接收性能没有显著变化。
而对于第二类用户设备, 其可以通过如下方式被调度到在具有 更少干扰的子频带上。
例如, 在第一小区中, 子频带 F2和 F3被分配用于第二类基站 的调度。 与此同时, 第一类基站 612将会在子频带 F2上传输无线电 信号以服务于第二小区中的第一类用户设备; 而第一类基站 613 将 会在子频带 F3上传输无线电信号以服务于第三小区中的第一类用户 设备。
在第一小区中, 任一第二类用户设备将测量来自第二小区中的 第一类基站 612的在子频带 F2上的干扰功率 A、 以及来自第三小区 中的第一类基站 613 的在子频带 F3上的干扰功率 /2 。 于是, 对于 这个第二类用户设备, 可以确定两个子频带 F2和 F3上的干扰因子 如下:
= ίθ.001, ¾(/]-/2)>Δ
Α =|ι.ο, 其他
1.0, ¾(/1-/2)>Δ
2一 [0.001 , 其他
其中 Α表示子频带 F2上的干扰因子, 表示子频带 F3上的干扰因 子 Δ是一个预定的干扰差异的门限。 上述公式中的 1.0和 0.001是归 一化参数, 本领域技术人员应能理解, 0.001这个参数是示例性而非 限制性的, 该参数远小于 1即可。
pF3 =^-χβ2
κ
其中,; 2表示将这个第二类用户设备调度到子频带 F2的概率, 3表 示将这个第二类用户设备调度到子频带 F3的概率, r表示该子频带 上的瞬时数据速率, R表示该子频带上的平均数据速率。
因此, 如果这个第二类用户设备接收到在子频带 F2上的来自第 二小区中的第一类基站 612 的强烈干扰, 该第二类用户设备将具有 更高的可能性被调度到子频带 F3上。 反之, 如果这个第二类用户设 备接收到在子频带 F3上的来自第三小区中的第一类基站 613的强烈 干扰,该第二类用户设备将具有更高的可能性被调度到子频带 F2上。
因此, 第二类用户设备也可以获得高接收性能。
通过采用上述资源分配及调度方案, 可以提高无线通信系统中 用户设备的平均接收性能, 改善用户体验。
本发明中所称的装置, 可以由软件功能模块实现, 也可以由硬 件模块实现, 还可以由软硬件的结合来实现。
本领域技术人员应能理解, 上述实施例均是示例性而非限制性 的。 在不同实施例中出现的不同技术特征可以进行组合, 以取得有 益效果。 本领域技术人员在研究附图、 说明书及权利要求书的基础 上, 应能理解并实现所揭示的实施例的其他变化的实施例。 在权利 要求书中, 术语 "包括" 并不排除其他装置或步骤; 不定冠词 "一 个" 不排除多个; 术语 "第一,, 、 "第二" 用于标示名称而非用于 表示任何特定的顺序。 权利要求中的任何附图标记均不应被理解为 对保护范围的限制。 权利要求中出现的多个部分的功能可以由一个 单独的硬件或软件模块来实现。 某些技术特征出现在不同的从属权 利要求中并不意味着不能将这些技术特征进行组合以取得有益效 果。
