Description

一种测量干扰的方法、 系统和设备 本申请要求在 2010 年 9 月 10 日提交中国专利局、 申请号为 201010280130.7、 发明名称为"一种测量干扰的方法、 系统和设备"的中国专 利申请的优先权, 其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。 技术领域 本发明涉及无线通信技术领域, 特别涉及一种测量干扰的方法、 系统和 设备。 背景技术
无线蜂窝网络系统中每个小区通常有一个基站与用户终端通信。 数据传 输过程开始之前, 基站会向用户终端发送参考信号(即导频信号), 用户终端 则根据这些参考信号获得信道估计值。 参考信号是在约定好在特定时间, 特 定频率上发送的已知信号序列。 干扰和噪声等因素都会影响信道估计的质量。
通常用户终端是位于不同的地理位置的, 会有不同的接收信号强度以及 噪声和干扰的强度。 因此, 一些用户终端可以以较高的速率通信, 如位于小 区中心的终端, 而另外一些用户终端则只能以较低速率通信, 如小区边缘的 终端。 为了充分利用用户终端的传输带宽, 发送给用户终端的数据格式最好 能与该用户终端的信道条件相匹配。 使得发送给用户终端的数据格式与其信 道条件相匹配的技术称为链路自适应。
为了帮助基站实现链路自适应, 用户终端需要根据其信道条件上报信道 质量指示信息 (CQI )。 用户终端上报的 CQI对应着一定的时频资源, 也就是 说, 用户终端上报的 CQI是表示这些时频资源上的传输能力。 CQI的计算需 要用户终端测得自身受到的邻小区的干扰和噪声,包括干扰 I和噪声功率 N0。
ITU ( International Telecommunication Union, 国际通信联盟 )为下一代移 动通信系统的性能提出了非常苛刻的要求。 比如最大系统传输带宽达到
100MHz, 上下行数据传输的峰值速率需要达到 lGbps和 500M bps, 并对系 统平均频谱效率尤其是边缘频谱效率提出了非常高的需求。 为了满足新系统 的要求, 3GPP 在其下一代移动蜂窝通信系统 LTE-A ( Long Term Evolution- Advanced, 长期演进升级) 中提出了釆用多点协同传输技术来提高 系统的性能。 多点协同传输技术是地理位置上分离的多个传输点之间的协作。 一般来说, 多个传输点是不同小区的基站。 多点协同传输技术分下行的协同 传输和上行的联合接收。 下行多点协同传输技术方案主要分为两类: 联合调 度和联合发送。 联合调度是通过小区之间的时间、 频率和空间资源的协调, 为不同的 UE (终端)分配互相正交的资源, 避免相互之间的干扰。 小区间的 干扰是制约小区边缘 UE性能的主要因素,因此联合调度可以降低小区间的干 扰,从而提高小区边缘 UE的性能。如图 1A所示,通过 3个小区的联合调度, 将可能会相互干扰的三个 UE调度了到相互正交的资源上,有效的避免了小区 之间的干扰。
与联合调度方案只有一个小区向 UE发送数据不同,联合发送方案中有多 个小区同时向 UE发送数据, 以增强 UE接收信号。 如图 1B所示, 三个小区 在相同的资源上向一个 UE发送数据, UE同时接收多个小区的信号。一方面, 来自多个小区的有用信号叠加可以提升 UE接收的信号质量, 另一方面, 降低 了 UE受到的干扰, 从而提高系统性能。
为有效的支持多点协作传输, 除了服务小区, 终端还需要估计协作小区 基站到终端的信道状态信息。 LTE-A 中的信道状态信息估计是通过测量导频 完成。 如图 3所示的是一个 PRB ( Physical Resource Block, 物理资源块) 内 的导频与数据映射关系。 前两个 OFDM ( Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, 正交频分复用 )符号用于控制信息的传输, 从第 3个 OFDM符 号开始是数据区域。 数据区域内包括导频 RE ( Resource Element , 资源单元) 和数据 RE。 相邻小区的导频通常会映射到不同的 RE上。 这是因为通常导频 RE的功率会较高, 且为全带宽发射, 映射到相同 RE上的导频之间干扰会非 常强烈, 影响信道估计的精度。 从图 1C可以看出, 小区 1内的终端为获得小 区 2和小区 3的信道状态信息, 需要在小区 2和小区 3的测量导频对应的 RE 上进行信道估计。 而在这些 RE上, 小区 1 内可能会调度下行数据传输(如 PDSCH ( Physical Downlink Shared Channel, 物理下行链路共享信道 ) ), 也就 是说小区 2和小区 3的导频会受到小区 1的数据传输的干扰。 对于小区 1 内 的终端, 其接收到的小区 1的信号强度通常会远远大于小区 2和小区 3的信 号强度, 使得小区 2和小区 3的测量导频的信干噪比 (SINR ) 非常低, 无法 获得满意的信道估计精度。 为解决这一问题, 小区 1 可以将小区 2和小区 3 发送测量导频的那些 RE 空出来, 即发送零功率信号, 这种方案称为 RE MUTING, 空出来的 RE称为静默的 RE ( MUTING RE ), 具体参见图 1D。
终端反馈 CQI需要估计出自身受到的干扰, 在 RE MUTING的方案中邻 小区的干扰在导频的位置已经没有了。 因为相邻小区的干扰通常是最强的, 在导频位置估计出来的干扰要远低于实际受到的干扰。
综上所述, 目前如果小区釆用 RE MUTING方案, 终端测量的干扰精度 比较低。 发明内容

RE组集合中 RE组的数量可以多于终端的协作传输小区的导频占用的 RE 组数量。例如,可能只需要第 1组和第 2组的 RE,实际可以通知 UE MUTING 的 RE为第 1组和第 2组, 也可以通知第 1、 2和 3组, 这样多出来的一组 RE 用于帮助终端 20进行干扰估计。
如果 RE组集合中 RE组的数量多于终端的协作传输小区的导频占用的 RE组数量, 则可以将额外的 RE组作为第一 RE组。 参见图 9, 小区 1通知终 端 RE组集合为第 {1,2,3}组(对应图 8中的组编号), 其中第 1和第 2组是为 了更好的估计小区 2和小区 3的信道(即第二 RE组), 而第 3组 RE则是为 了估计干扰(即第一 RE组); 终端在第 3组 RE上是可以测到相邻的两个小 区的 PDSCH产生的干扰。 如果 RE组集合中 RE组的数量等于协作传输小区的导频占用的 RE组数 量, 则可以根据终端的位置配置终端在特定的 RE组上估计干扰。例如图 7中 的终端 1位于小区 1和 2的边缘, 终端 3位于小区 1的中心, 终端 2位于小 区 1和 3的边缘。 网络侧设备通知终端 2在第 1组 RE上测量干扰, 因为终端 2位于小区 1和小区 3的边缘, 小区 1和小区 3可能参与对 UE2的联合传输, 此时小区 3的信号对终端 2不再是干扰, 而小区 2的信号由于衰减严重, 在 终端 2处可以忽略, 因此, 终端 2可以比较准确的估计出联合传输时受到的 干扰。 如果终端 2只进行单小区传输, 小区 3的信号对终端仍然是干扰, 此 时网络侧设备可以配置终端 2在第 2组 RE上测量干扰,此时终端 2仍然可以 测到对其干扰较大的小区 3的干扰。位于小区 1中心的终端 3 , 小区 2和小区 3到 UE3的信号都比较微弱 , 因此其在第 1组 (或者第 2组) RE上测量得到 的干扰可以很准确的反映终端在进行单小区传输时受到的干扰, 参见图 10。
具体的, 网络侧设备 10根据相邻小区的 RE组集合的位置或根据终端的 位置或随机选择, 确定进行干扰测量的第一 RE组。
在确定了第一 RE组后, 就可以确定每个第一 RE组的配置信息。
RE组的配置信息包括但不限于下列信息中的一种或多种:
天线端口数目、 导频模式、 导频发送周期、 子帧偏移、 RE组内 RE的数 目、 周期、 在子帧内的位置。
其中, 导频模式是指小区发送的导频在一个子帧内占用的 RE位置。
网络侧设备 10根据确定的第一 RE组的配置信息生成第一干扰通知信息 的方式有艮多种, 下面列举几种:
方式一、 网络侧设备 10确定测量集合信息, 将确定的测量集合信息作为 第一干扰通知信息。
由于终端要在第二 RE组上进行小区的信道状态信息测量, 即第二 RE组 是测量邻小区信道所使用的 RE组, 不同的第二 RE组对应的小区不同, 所以 可以将第二 RE组对应的配置信息以及对应小区的小区标识置于测量集合信 息中; 而第一 RE组也有配置信息, 但是没有对应的小区, 所以可以用虚拟小 区标识作为第一 RE组对应的小区标识, 比如 LTE共定义了 504个物理层小 区标识, 需要 9比特标识, 这样 504 ~ 511的标识可以作为虚拟小区标识, 然 后将第一 RE组的配置信息和对应的虚拟小区标识置于测量集合信息中。也就 是说, 测量集合信息包括 RE组集合中每个第二 RE组的配置信息和每个第二 RE组对应的小区的小区标识 ,以及每个第一 RE组的配置信息和每个第一 RE 组对应的虚拟 d、区标识。
相应的, 终端 20在收到第一干扰通知信息后, 根据第一 RE组对应的虚 拟小区标识,确定测量集合信息包括的第一 RE组的配置信息,根据确定的配 置信息, 确定第一 RE组的位置。
具体的, 终端 20查看对应的小区标识, 找到虚拟小区标识对应的配置信 息,将这个配置信息作为第一 RE组的配置信息, 然后才艮据配置信息就可以知 道第一 RE组的周期, 子帧偏移以及其在子帧中的位置。
测量集合信息还可以没有每个第一 RE组的配置信息和每个第一 RE组对 应的虚拟小区标识 , 只包括每个第二 RE组的配置信息和每个第二 RE组对应 的小区的小区标识。 这样就可以隐式通知终端 20第一 RE组的配置信息, 但 是应用隐式通知之前, 网络侧设备 10需要向终端发送 RE组集合中每个 RE 组的配置信息。
相应的, 终端 20接收来自网络侧设备的 RE组集合中每个 RE组的配置 信息,从而就知道 RE组集合中所有 RE组的配置信息, 然后从 RE组集合中, 查找所有非第二 RE组(即属于 RE组集合, 但不是第二 RE组), 将查找到的 RE组作为第一 RE组, 并从 RE组集合中所有 RE组的配置信息中确定第一 RE组对应的配置信息, 最后才艮据确定的配置信息确定第一 RE组的周期, 子 帧偏移以及其在子帧中的位置。
方式二、 网络侧设备 10根据配置信息和干扰测量指示信息的对应关系, 确定第一 RE组的配置信息对应的干扰测量指示信息,将确定的干扰测量指示 信息作为第一干扰通知信息。
相应的, 终端 20根据干扰测量指示信息确定第一 RE组的配置信息, 根 据确定的配置信息确定第一 RE组的位置。
其中, 干扰测量指示信息是网络侧设备 10通过位图方式确定的; 或 干扰测量指示信息是网络侧设备 10根据第一 RE组的编号确定的, 比如 直接通知终端具体第一 RE组的编号, 需要终端在第 n个 RE组上进行测量干 扰, 则可以直接将 n通知终端; 或
干扰测量指示信息是网络侧设备 10根据第一 RE组的配置信息确定的; 或
干扰测量指示信息是网络侧设备 10根据第一 RE组的配置信息和第一 RE 组对应的虚拟小区标识确定的。
如果干扰测量指示信息是网络侧设备 10通过位图方式确定的; 或干扰测 量指示信息是网络侧设备根据第一 RE组的编号确定的, 则网络侧设备 10可 以向终端 20发送 RE组集合中每个 RE组的配置信息或向终端 20发送第一 RE组的配置信息,然后根据每个 RE组的位置确定对应的干扰测量指示信息。 网络侧设备 10也可以向终端 10直接发送第一 RE组的配置信息 ,从而更加便 于终端 10确定第一 RE组的位置, 终端 10则直接接收第一 RE组的配置信息 进行第一 RE组的位置确定。
比如干扰测量指示信息是网络侧设备 10通过位图方式确定的,按照图 8, 一共有 6个 RE组, 这就需要 6比特干扰测量指示信息。 其中第 3组是第一 RE组, "0"代表对应的 RE组不是第一 RE组, "1"代表对应的 RE组是第一 RE组, 则干扰测量指示信息是 {0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0} , 其中每个比特位对应一个 RE 如果其中的第 0组 RE是小区 1的测量导频所占用的 RE, 会由其他的信 令通知。 因此发给终端的干扰测量信息可以将第 0组对应的比特去掉, 压缩 为 5比特, 即 {0, 0, 1, 0, 0} , 其中第 1个比特对应第 1组, 第 2个比特对应第 2组, 依次类推。
相应的, 终端 20根据接收来自网络侧设备 10的 RE组集合中所有 RE组 的配置信息, 根据位图方式确定第一 RE组, 从 RE组的配置信息中, 确定第 一 RE组的配置信息。
具体的, 终端 20在收到 {0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0}后, 从所有 RE组中查找对应的 RE组, 确定第 3组对应 "1" , 就知道第 3组是第一 RE组, 然后从 RE组集 合中所有 RE组的配置信息中查找第 3组的配置信息,并根据找到的配置信息 确定第一 RE组的周期、 子帧偏移以及在子帧中的位置。
比如干扰测量指示信息是网络侧设备 10通过位图方式确定的,按照图 9, RE组集合中一共有 3个 RE组, 这就需要 3比特干扰测量指示信息。 小区 1 中第 3组是第一 RE组, "0" 代表对应的 RE组不是第一 RE组, "Γ 代表对 应的 RE组是第一 RE组, 则干扰测量指示信息是 {0, 0, 1} , 其中每个比特位 对应一个 RE组,具体对应方式可以在协议中规定或者有网络侧和终端侧协商 确定。 如果网络侧设备 10向终端发送 RE组集合中所有 RE组的配置信息, 则 RE组集合内的 RE组需要按确定的顺序编号。
相应的, 终端 20接收来自网络侧设备 10的 RE组集合中所有 RE组的配 置信息, 根据位图方式从 RE组集合中确定第一 RE组, 从收到的 RE组集合 中所有 RE组的配置信息中, 确定第一 RE组的配置信息。
具体的, 终端 20在收到 {0, 0, 1}后, 从 RE组集合中查找对应的 RE组, 确定第 3组对应 "1" , 就知道 3组是第一 RE组, 然后从收到的 RE组集合中 所有 RE组的配置信息中查找第 3组的配置信息,并根据找到的配置信息确定 第一 RE组的周期、 子帧偏移以及在子帧中的位置。
位图信息或者 RE组的编号信息可以通过高层信令发送给终端,或者通过 物理层信令发送给终端。
如果干扰测量指示信息是网络侧设备 10根据第一 RE组的配置信息确定 的 (即将第一 RE组的配置信息作为干扰测量指示信息), 或根据第一 RE组 的配置信息和第一 RE组对应的虚拟小区标识确定的 (即将第一 RE组的配置 信息和第一 RE组对应的虚拟小区标识作为干扰测量指示信息 ),由于第一 RE 组的配置信息会发送给终端 20, 所以不需要向终端 20发送 RE组集合中每个 RE组的配置信息。 相应的,终端 20在单独收到第一 RE组的配置信息 (或单独收到第一 RE 组的配置信息和第一 RE组对应的虚拟小区标识)后, 就知道配置信息对应的 RE组是第一 RE组, 并根据配置信息确定第一 RE组的位置。
需要说明的是, 本发明实施例的干扰测量指示信息并不局限于上面四种, 其他能够使终端确定第一 RE组的配置信息的内容都可以作为本发明实施例 的干扰测量指示信息。
如果网络侧设备 10需要向终端 20发送测量集合信息和干扰测量指示信 息, 比如发送只包括每个第二 RE组的配置信息和每个第二 RE组对应的小区 的小区标识的测量集合信息和干扰测量指示信息, 这时可以将测量集合信息 和干扰测量指示信息一起发送, 也可以分别发送。
在实施中, 网络侧设备 10可以不管釆用什么方式, 都可以向终端 20发 送 RE组集合中每个 RE组的配置信息或只发送第一 RE组的配置信息。
其中, 配置信息中如果包含子帧中的位置信息, 则位置信息也可以通过 位图方式确定。 比如按照图 8, —共有 6组, 这就需要 6比特位置信息。 假设 第 1组和第 2组是静默 RE组, "0" 代表对应的 RE组不是静默 RE组, "1" 代表对应的 RE组是静默 RE组, 则位置信息是 {0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0} , 其中每个比 协商确定。
需要说明的是, 除了位图方式, 其他能够确定位置的信息也可以作为本 发明实施例的位置信息, 比如编号信息等。
在具体实施中,网络侧设备 10在确定终端 20需要在第一 RE组上进行干 扰测量后, 根据确定的第一 RE组的配置信息生成第一干扰通知信息。
如果网络侧设备 10在确定终端 20不需要在第一 RE组上进行干扰测量后 确定第二干扰通知信息, 向终端发送第二干扰通知信息, 指示终端根据 CRS 和 /或测量导频进行干扰测量。
比如: 第二 RE组占用了所有可能的 RE组, 无法找到合适的 RE组让终 端去估计干扰; 或 为了控制开销, 因为引入额外的第一 RE组会增加开销; 或
确定终端根据 CRS和 /或测量导频可以准确的估计干扰。
其中, 第二干扰通知信息是网络侧设备 10通过位图方式确定的; 或 第二干扰通知信息网络侧设备 10根据虚拟小区标识确定的。
如果第二干扰通知信息是网络侧设备 10通过位图方式确定的, 则可以利 用上面描述的干扰测量指示信息。 具体的, 可以用 2比特确定, 假设 2比特 的第 1比特对应 CRS , 第 2比特对应测量导频, "0" 代表否, "1" 代表否, 如果需要终端根据 CRS进行干扰测量, 则 2比特是 10; 如果需要终端根据测 量导频进行干扰测量, 则 2比特是 01 ; 如果需要终端根据 CRS (公共导频) 和测量导频进行干扰测量, 则 2比特是 11。
在具体实施中, 还可以在干扰测量指示信息中增加 2 比特, 这样就可以 将第一干扰通知信息和第二干扰通知信息做成一个干扰通知信息。 比如干扰 测量指示信息需要 6比特, 则可以在最后增加 2比特, 这时干 ·ί尤测量指示信 息就是 8比特。 如果确定需要终端 20在第一 RE组上进行干扰测量, 则干扰 测量指示信息的前 6比特根据位图确定,后 2比特全是 0; 如果确定不需要终 端 20在第一 RE组上进行干扰测量, 则干扰测量指示信息的前 6比特全是 0, 后 2比特根据需要确定。
相应的, 终端 20如果收到 2比特信息就知道不在第一 RE组上进行干扰 测量, 再根据具体比特值就知道釆用什么方式干扰测量; 终端 20如果收到干 扰测量指示信息, 并且干扰测量指示信息最后 2比特不全为 0, 就知道不在第 一 RE组上进行干扰测量, 再根据具体比特值就知道釆用什么方式干扰测量。
如果第二干扰通知信息是网络侧设备 10根据虚拟小区标识确定的, 则可 以直接发送一个对应的虚拟小区标识, 比如 CRS对应虚拟小区标识 Α, 测量 导频对应虚拟小区标识 Β, 如果收到 Α, 则知道釆用 CRS进行干扰测量; 如 果收到 Β, 则知道釆用测量导频进行干扰测量; 如果收到 Α和 Β, 则知道釆 用 CRS和测量导频进行干扰测量。
其中, 网络侧设备 10向终端 20发送的所有信息都可以通过高层信令(比 如 RRC信令)发送。
终端 20在确定的第一 RE组上进行干扰测量时, 可以确定在第一 RE组 上的平均接收功率值, 并将确定的平均功率值作为干扰估计值。
本发明实施例的网络侧设备 10可以是基站(比如宏基站, 演进基站、 家 庭基站等), 也可以是 RN (中继)设备, 还可以是其它网络侧设备。
基于同一发明构思, 本发明实施例中还提供了两种测量干扰的方法、 网 络侧设备及终端, 由于这些方法和设备解决问题的原理与本发明实施例测量 干扰的系统相似, 因此这些方法和设备的实施可以参见系统的实施, 重复之 处不再赘述。

如图 5所示, 本发明实施例第一种测量干扰的方法包括下列步骤: 步骤 501、 网络侧设备确定进行干扰测量的第一 RE组的配置信息。
步骤 502、 网络侧设备根据确定的第一 RE组的配置信息生成第一干扰通 知信息, 向终端发送第一干扰通知信息, 用于指示终端根据第一干扰通知信 息确定第一 RE组, 并在确定的第一 RE组上进行干扰测量。
其中, 每个子帧有多个 RE, 可以从所有 RE中选择多个 RE, 并划分成多 个 RE组。 具体的分组情况可以在协议中或网络侧和终端侧协商确定。
在具体实施中, 可以根据需要对划分的多个 RE组进行更新。 具体更新后 的分组情况可以在协议中确定或网络侧和终端侧之间协商确定。
这里的 RE组可以包括或者不包括服务小区的测量导频占用的 RE。
然后网络侧设备 10从划分出来的 RE组中选择多个需要静默的 ^£组(即 背景技术中的 MUTING RE组成的组), 形成 RE组集合, 从 RE组集合中再 选择至少一组 RE作为第一 RE组, 也就是说, RE组集合由所有静默的 RE 组组成。
RE组集合中 RE组的数量可以多于终端的协作传输小区的导频占用的 RE 组数量。
具体的, 网络侧设备根据相邻小区的 RE组集合的位置或根据终端的位 置, 或随机选择, 确定进行干扰测量的第一 RE组。
在确定了第一 RE组后, 就可以确定每个第一 RE组的配置信息。
RE组的配置信息包括但不限于下列信息中的一种或多种:
天线端口数目、 导频模式、 导频发送周期、 子帧偏移、 RE组内 RE的数 目、 周期、 在子帧内的位置。
步骤 502中,网络侧设备根据确定的第一 RE组的配置信息生成第一干扰 通知信息的方式有很多种, 下面列举几种:
方式一、 网络侧设备确定测量集合信息, 将确定的测量集合信息作为第 一干 4尤通知信息。
由于终端要在第二 RE组上进行小区的信道状态信息测量, 即第二 RE组 是测量邻小区信道所使用的 RE组, 不同的第二 RE组对应的小区不同, 所以 可以将第二 RE组对应的配置信息以及对应小区的小区标识置于测量集合信 息中; 而第一 RE组也有配置信息, 但是没有对应的小区, 所以可以用虚拟小 区标识作为第一 RE组对应的小区标识, 比如 LTE共定义了 504个物理层小 区标识, 需要 9比特标识, 这样 504 ~ 511的标识可以作为虚拟小区标识, 然 后将第一 RE组的配置信息和对应的虚拟小区标识置于测量集合信息中。也就 是说, 测量集合信息包括 RE组集合中每个第二 RE组的配置信息和每个第二 RE组对应的小区的小区标识 ,以及每个第一 RE组的配置信息和每个第一 RE 组对应的虚拟 d、区标识。
测量集合信息还可以没有每个第一 RE组的配置信息和每个第一 RE组对 应的虚拟小区标识 , 只包括每个第二 RE组的配置信息和每个第二 RE组对应 的小区的小区标识。这样就可以隐式通知终端第一 RE组的配置信息,但是应 用隐式通知之前, 网络侧设备需要向终端发送 RE组集合中每个 RE组的配置 信息。
方式二、 网络侧设备据配置信息和干扰测量指示信息的对应关系, 确定 第一 RE组的配置信息对应的干扰测量指示信息,将确定的干扰测量指示信息 作为第一干扰通知信息。
其中, 干扰测量指示信息是网络侧设备通过位图方式确定的; 或 干扰测量指示信息是网络侧设备根据第一 RE组的编号确定的; 或 干扰测量指示信息是网络侧设备根据第一 RE组的配置信息确定的; 或 干扰测量指示信息是网络侧设备根据第一 RE组的配置信息和第一 RE组 对应的虚拟 d、区标识确定的。
如果干扰测量指示信息是网络侧设备通过位图方式确定的; 或干扰测量 指示信息是网络侧设备根据第一 RE组的编号确定的,则网络侧设备可以向终 端发送 RE组集合中每个 RE组的配置信息或向终端 20发送第一 RE组的配置 信息,, 然后根据每个 RE组的位置确定对应的干扰测量指示信息。
如果干扰测量指示信息是网络侧设备根据第一 RE组的配置信息确定的, 或根据第一 RE组的配置信息和第一 RE组对应的虚拟小区标识确定的, 由于 第一 RE组的配置信息会发送给终端, 所以不需要向终端发送 RE组集合中每 个 RE组的配置信息。
需要说明的是, 本发明实施例的干扰测量指示信息并不局限于上面四种, 其他能够使终端确定第一 RE组的配置信息的内容都可以作为本发明实施例 的干扰测量指示信息。
如果网络侧设备需要向终端发送测量集合信息和干扰测量指示信息, 比 如发送只包括每个第二 RE组的配置信息和每个第二 RE组对应的小区的小区 标识的测量集合信息和干扰测量指示信息, 这时可以将测量集合信息和干扰 测量指示信息一起发送, 也可以分别发送。
在实施中, 网络侧设备可以不管釆用什么方式, 都可以向终端发送 RE组 集合中每个 RE组的配置信息或只发送第一 RE组的配置信息。
其中, 配置信息中如果包含在子帧中的位置信息, 则位置信息也可以通 过位图方式确定。
在具体实施中,网络侧设备在确定终端需要在第一 RE组上进行干扰测量 后, 根据确定的第一 RE组的配置信息生成第一干扰通知信息。
如果网络侧设备在确定终端不需要在第一 RE组上进行干扰测量后确定 第二干扰通知信息, 向终端发送第二干扰通知信息, 指示终端根据 CRS和 / 或测量导频进行干扰测量。
比如: 第二 RE组占用了所有可能的 RE组, 无法找到合适的 RE组让终 端去估计干扰; 或 为了控制开销, 因为引入额外的第一 RE组会增加开销; 或
确定终端根据 CRS和 /或测量导频可以准确的估计干扰。
其中, 第二干扰通知信息是网络侧设备通过位图方式确定的; 或 第二干扰通知信息网络侧设备根据虚拟 d、区标识确定的。
如果第二干扰通知信息是网络侧设备通过位图方式确定的, 则可以利用 上面描述的干扰测量指示信息。
在具体实施中, 还可以在干扰测量指示信息中增加 2 比特, 这样就可以 将第一干扰通知信息和第二干扰通知信息做成一个干扰通知信息。 比如干扰 测量指示信息需要 6比特, 则可以在最后增加 2比特, 这时干 ·ί尤测量指示信 息就是 8比特。 如果确定需要终端 20在第一 RE组上进行干扰测量, 则干扰 测量指示信息的前 6比特根据位图确定,后 2比特全是 0; 如果确定不需要终 端 20在第一 RE组上进行干扰测量, 则干扰测量指示信息的前 6比特全是 0, 后 2比特根据需要确定。
如果第二干扰通知信息是网络侧设备根据虚拟小区标识确定的, 则可以 直接发送一个对应的虚拟 d、区标识。
其中,网络侧设备向终端发送的所有信息都可以通过高层信令(比如 RRC 信令)发送。
本发明实施例的网络侧设备可以是基站 (比如宏基站, 演进基站、 家庭 基站等), 也可以是 RN (中继)设备, 还可以是其它网络侧设备。
如图 6所示, 本发明实施例第二种测量干扰的方法包括下列步骤: 步骤 601、终端根据收到的来自网络侧设备的第一干扰通知信息, 确定进 行干扰测量的第一 RE组的位置。
步骤 602、 终端在确定的第一 RE组上进行干扰测量。
如果第一干扰通知信息是包括每个第二 RE组的配置信息和每个第二 RE 组对应的小区的小区标识, 以及每个第一 RE组的配置信息和每个第一 RE组 对应的虚拟小区标识的测量集合信息,其中第二 RE组是测量邻小区信道所使 用的 RE组; 步骤 601中, 终端在收到第一干扰通知信息后,根据第一 RE组对应的虚 拟小区标识,确定测量集合信息包括的第一 RE组的配置信息,根据确定的配 置信息, 确定第一 RE组的位置。
具体的, 终端查看对应的小区标识, 找到虚拟小区标识对应的配置信息, 将这个配置信息作为第一 RE组的配置信息,然后根据配置信息就可以知道第 一 RE组的周期, 子帧偏移以及其在子帧中的位置。
如果第一干扰通知信息是只包括每个第二 RE组的配置信息和每个第二 RE组对应的小区的小区标识的测量集合信息, 其中 RE组集合由第一 RE组 和第二 RE组组成;
步骤 601之前, 终端接收来自网络侧设备的 RE组集合中每个 RE组的配 置信息, 从而就知道 RE组集合中所有 RE组的配置信息, 然后从 RE组集合 中, 查找所有非第二 RE组(即属于 RE组集合, 但不是第二 RE组), 将查找 到的 RE组作为第一 RE组, 并从 RE组集合中所有 RE组的配置信息中确定 第一 RE组对应的配置信息,最后根据确定的配置信息确定第一 RE组的周期, 子帧偏移以及其在子帧中的位置。
如果第一干扰通知信息是干扰测量指示信息;
步骤 601中, 终端根据干扰测量指示信息确定第一 RE组的配置信息,根 据确定的配置信息确定第一 RE组的位置。
其中, 干扰测量指示信息是网络侧设备通过位图方式确定的; 或 干扰测量指示信息是网络侧设备根据第一 RE组的编号确定的,比如直接 通知终端具体第一 RE组的编号, 需要终端在第 n个 RE组上进行测量干扰, 则可以直接将 n通知终端; 或
干扰测量指示信息是网络侧设备根据第一 RE组的配置信息确定的; 或 干扰测量指示信息是网络侧设备根据第一 RE组的配置信息和第一 RE组 对应的虚拟 d、区标识确定的。
如果干扰测量指示信息是网络侧设备 10通过位图方式确定的; 或干扰测 量指示信息是网络侧设备根据第一 RE组的编号确定的。 步骤 601之前, 终端 接收来自网络侧设备的 RE组集合中所有 RE组的配置信息或第一 RE组的配 置信息, 步骤 601中, 终端根据位图方式或编号, 确定第一 RE组, 从收到的 RE组的配置信息中, 确定第一 RE组的配置信息。
如果干扰测量指示信息是网络侧设备 10根据第一 RE组的配置信息确定 的, 或根据第一 RE组的配置信息和第一 RE组对应的虚拟小区标识确定的, 步骤 601中, 终端在单独收到第一 RE组的配置信息(或单独收到第一 RE组 的配置信息和第一 RE组对应的虚拟小区标识)后, 就知道配置信息对应的 RE组是第一 RE组, 并根据配置信息确定第一 RE组在子帧中的位置。
需要说明的是, 本发明实施例的干扰测量指示信息并不局限于上面四种, 其他能够使终端确定第一 RE组的配置信息的内容都可以作为本发明实施例 的干扰测量指示信息。
步骤 602中, 终端在确定的第一 RE组上进行干扰测量时, 可以确定在第 一 RE组上的平均接收功率值, 并将确定的平均功率值作为干扰估计值。
其中, 本发明实施里的方法还包括:
如果终端收到来自网络侧的第二干扰通知信息, 则根据第二干扰通知信 息的指示根据 CRS和 /或测量导频进行干扰测量。
如果第二干扰通知信息是网络侧设备 10通过位图方式确定的, 假设 2比 特的第 1比特对应 CRS , 第 2比特对应测量导频, "0"代表否, "Γ代表否, 如果 2比特是 10, 则确定根据 CRS进行干扰测量; 如果 2比特是 01 , 则确定 根据测量导频进行干扰测量; 如果 2比特是 11 , 则确定根据 CRS和测量导频 进行干扰测量。
在具体实施中, 还可以在干扰测量指示信息中增加 2 比特, 这样就可以 将第一干扰通知信息和第二干扰通知信息做成一个干扰通知信息。 比如干扰 测量指示信息需要 6比特, 则可以在最后增加 2比特, 这时干 ·ί尤测量指示信 息就是 8比特。 如果终端收到的干扰测量指示信息的前 6比特不是全 "0" , 后 2比特全是 " 0" , 则确定需要在第一 RE组上进行干扰测量; 如果终端收到 的干扰测量指示信息的前 6比特是全 "0" , 后 2比特不是全 "0" , 则确定不 需要在第一 RE组上进行干扰测量, 进一步根据后 2比特确定测量方式。
如果第二干扰通知信息是网络侧设备根据虚拟小区标识确定的, 则终端 可以才艮据对应的虚拟小区标识确定测量方式,比如 CRS对应虚拟小区标识 A, 测量导频对应虚拟小区标识 B,如果收到 A, 则知道釆用 CRS进行干扰测量; 如果收到 B, 则知道釆用测量导频进行干扰测量; 如果收到 A和 B, 则知道 釆用 CRS和测量导频进行干扰测量。
其中, 图 5和图 6可以合成一个流程, 形成一个新的测量干扰的方法, 即现执行步骤 501和 502, 然后再执行步骤 601和 602。

步骤 1101、 基站之间通过信息交互确定个自的 MUTING RE配置信息。 步骤 1102、基站通过广播或 RRC信令将每个 MUTING RE组的配置信息 通知给每个终端。
其中, 包括 MUTING RE的数目和位置等; MUTING RE的位置信息包括 周期, 子帧偏移, 子帧内的位置等; 将 MUTING RE的位置信息通知给终端 的主要目的是使得终端可以正确的计算速率匹配的参数, 从而实现正确的解 调。
步骤 1103、基站确定每个 MUTING RE组中进行干扰测量的 MUTING RE 组。
步骤 1104、 基站通知终端进行干扰测量的 MUTING RE组。
步骤 1105、 终端确定进行干扰测量的 MUTING RE组, 并确定进行干扰 测量的 MUTING RE组的配置信息。
步骤 1106、 终端根据根据进行干扰测量的 MUTING RE组的配置信息, 确定进行干扰测量的 MUTING RE组在子帧中的位置。
步骤 1107、 终端估计进行干扰测量的 MUTING RE组上的平均接收功率 值, 并将平均接收功率值作为干扰估计值。
