一种小区间干扰协调的模拟方法及设备 本申请要求在 2010年 9月 20日提交中国专利局、 申请号为 201010288652.1、发明名称为 "一种小区间干扰协调的模拟方法及设备"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领域, 特别涉及一种小区间干扰协调的模拟方法及设备。 背景技术
2004年底, 第 3 代合作项目 (3rd Generation partnership project, 3 GPP )将通用移动 通信系统(Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, UMTS )技术的长期演进 ( Long Term Evolution, LTE )项目的研究提上了日程。 为了能与可以支持 20MHz带宽的全球微 波接入互联技术( World Interoperability for Microwave Access, WiMAX )相抗衡, LTE选 用了正交频分复用 (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex , OFDM ) 和频分多址 ( Frequency Division Multiple Access, FDMA )技术作为其核心传输技术。
如何提高边缘用户吞吐量, 保证边缘用户服务质量( Quality of Service , QoS )是 LTE 系统需要考虑的一个问题。 小区边缘用户离基站距离较远, 信号衰减比较大, 同时由于采 用了 OFDM技术, 小区频 i普资源会发生重叠,这将对被千扰小区的边缘用户造成较大的千 扰, 造成小区边缘用户的低信干噪比( Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio, SINR )。 因 此, LTE系统采用了小区间干扰协调 (Inter-Cell Interference Coordinate, ICIC )技术来抑 制小区间千扰, 保证 LTE系统性能。
从网络规划平台来说, 由于 LTE与其他通信标准间的差异, 现有的诸多规划平台并不 能直接套用到 LTE系统中。 此外, 作为一种新技术, 现有的规划平台未曾涉及过 ICIC的 实现问题, 而半静态 ICIC方案实现时所需完成的 X2接口的信息交互, 也是 ICIC在静态 规划软件中得以实现的一个难题。 因此, 如何将半静态 ICIC方案, 运用于针对 LTE系统 的网络规划软件中, 仿真模拟网络情况, 是现有技术中亟需解决的一个难题。
现有的下行半静态 I C I C技术主要侧重于动态仿真平台的研究或现网产品的实现, 其平 台或网络环境是动态的, 并且能够实现 Sl、 X2接口的信息交互, 符合半静态 ICIC方案的实 现需求。而网络规划优化软件本身就是对网络环境的抽象和模拟,作为一种静态仿真平台, 并不能模拟 X2接口的信息交互。 发明内容 本发明实施例提供一种小区间干扰协调的模拟方法及设备, 用以在静态环境中模拟 LTE中的下行 ICIC。
本发明实施例中提供了一种 ICIC的模拟方法 , 包括如下步骤:
确定属于中心用户类的 UE与属于边缘用户类的 UE;
确定与本小区进行 ICIC交互的邻小区;
根据 RNTP预设值和邻小区信息确定参与 ICIC的各 UE的 PRB优先级;
根据 PRB的优先级进行资源调度后对功率分配进行控制;
根据资源调度情况确定本小区实际 RNTP, 并告知邻小区。
本发明实施例中提供了一种 ICIC的模拟设备, 包括:
用户确定模块, 用于确定属于中心用户类的 UE与属于边缘用户类的 UE;
邻小区确定模块, 用于确定与本小区进行 ICIC交互的邻小区;
优先级确定模块,用于根据 RNTP预设值和邻小区信息确定参与 ICIC的各 UE的 PRB 优先级;
调度和功控模块, 用于根据 PRB的优先级进行资源调度后, 对功率分配进行控制; 通知模块, 用于根据资源调度情况确定本小区实际 RNTP, 并告知邻小区。
本发明在实施过程中,首先根据 RNTP预设值和邻小区信息确定参与 ICIC的各 UE的 PRB优先级; 然后在本小区根据 PRB的优先级进行资源调度后对功率分配进行控制; 在 根据调度情况设置本小区实际 RNTP, 并且告知邻小区。 在该过程中, 每一个小区都会根 据邻小区的情况以及自身的资源情况来确定实际采用的资源, 并将自身实际使用的资源情 况提供给各邻小区, 供各部小区进行资源设置, 虽然没有来自 X2接口的信息, 但是也实 现了各个小区间的 ICIC过程, 因此也使得本发明实施例提供的技术方案能够在无法模拟 X2接口信息交互的静态规划仿真平台中, 模拟和实现下行半静态 ICIC技术。
本发明实施例提供的技术方案可以在静态环境(或各种无接口信息的条件) 中模拟 ICIC, 模拟实际网络情况构建模型, 通过对不同场景下的参数调整, 寻求 ICIC 实现的最 佳方案, 为 ICIC在实际实现中的方案选取和 ICIC相关参数设定提供可参照的依据; 同时 确定在实际网络中考虑半静态 ICIC以后的各项网络规划参数, 如下行发射功率等等。 附图说明
图 1为本发明实施例中 ICIC的模拟方法实施流程示意图;
图 2为本发明实施例中所有小区的 ICIC实施流程示意图;
图 3为本发明实施例中 ICIC的模拟设备结构示意图。 具体实施方式 3GPP LTE 系统下行信道采用了正交频分复用 (OFDM )技术作为其传输技术。 LTE 采用 OFDM技术为小区规划频率资源时,利用子载波正交性,规避小区内各用户间的干扰。 因此, 小区间千扰将成为 LTE系统内用户间的主要千扰源。 为了保证良好的通信质量, 特 别是小区边缘用户的传输性能, LTE系统引入了一项关键技术: 小区间干扰协调 (ICIC ) 技术。
ICIC在 LTE规划中的实现效果将直接影响网络规划性能。 但是, 目前所知的网络规 划中暂未涉及 ICIC 的实现问题。 随着网络规划需求的提高, 这将是网络规划优化工作中 亟待填补的一环。 鉴于此, 本文提出了一种在 LTE系统中模拟实现下行半静态 ICIC技术 的方案。
现有的 icic技术主要侧重于动态仿真平台的研究或现网产品的实现。 其平台或网络 环境是动态的,并且能够实现 Sl、 X2接口的信息交互,符合半静态 ICIC方案的实现需求。 然而, 网络规划优化本身就是对网络环境的抽象和模拟, 作为一种静态仿真方案, 并不能 模拟 X2接口的信息交互。 因此, 现有的技术并不能直接应用到网络规划中。 为了尽可能 地贴合协议, 达到所要求的协调效果, 本发明实施例提供的技术方案将考虑采用半静态 ICIC的思想, 在静态平台上近似模拟下行半静态 ICIC的实现。 下面结合附图对本发明的 具体实施方式进行说明。
实施中, 为便于理解, 对于网络规划将以网络规划软件 LTE eNPS为例进行说明, 尽 管相关发明和本发明的讨论都关于 LTE eNPS, 但本发明实施例提供的技术方案中创造性 的、 以半静态 ICIC的思想, 在静态平台上近似模拟下行半静态 ICIC的实现技术, 也适用 于提供类似功能的其他类型的网络规划软件, 因此对 LTE eNPS的引用仅作为示例而不起 限制的作用。
图 1为 ICIC的模拟方法实施流程示意图, 如图所示, 在模拟 ICIC时可以包括如下步 骤:
步骤 101、 确定属于中心用户类的 UE与属于边缘用户类的 UE;
步骤 102、 确定与本小区进行 ICIC交互的邻小区;
步骤 103、根据相对窄带发射功率指示( Relative Narrowband Tx power indicator, RNTP ) 预设值和邻小区信息,确定参与 ICIC的各 UE的物理资源块( physical resource block, PRB ) 优先级;
步骤 104、 根据 PRB优先级进行资源调度后 , 对功率分配进行控制;
步骤 105、 根据资源调度情况确定本小区实际 RNTP, 并将该本小区实际 RNTP告知 邻小区。
下面对本方案实现时涉及的几个环节进行说明。
1、 用户位置的确定。 实施中, 在确定属于中心用户类的 UE与属于边缘用户类的 UE时, 可以根据邻小区 质量与本小区质量的差值, 确定属于中心用户类的 UE与属于边缘用户类的 UE。
具体的, 所谓用户位置, 这里指用户归属于中心用户类还是边缘用户类。 用户位置的 判定, 并非由用户与所属小区基站空间距离的远近唯一决定。 由于 LTE e PS中, UE—旦 被撒下, UE位置将不会变化。 所以, 可以借用 A3事件的思想, 判定 UE是中心用户还是 边缘用户。
A3事件描述如下: ^^Mn+ 0fnJr C>cn-HyS >MS+OfS+Ocs+Off, 即 ^ 的任一邻小区质量比本小区质量大于一个门限值时, 该 UE为本小区的边缘用户, 否则为 中心用户。
2、 与本小区进行 ICIC交互的邻小区的确定。
实施中, 在确定与本小区进行 ICIC交互的邻小区时, 可以包括:
根据基站间距、 天线方向角、 导频信号覆盖交叠情况因素, 确定基本邻小区列表; 以属于边缘用户类的 UE 接收的本小区小区专用参考信号 (Cell-specific reference signals, CRS ) 为测量量, 计算属于边缘用户类的 UE 和各个邻小区之间的信干噪比 (即
Geometry );
确定该 UE最强的 Geometry对应的邻小区 , 将该邻小区对应的变量值加 1 ;
遍历本小区属于边缘用户类的 UE,对本小区所有属于边缘用户类的 UE计算其与各个 邻小区之间的 Geometry, 将该 UE最强的 Geometry对应的邻小区的变量值加 1;
对本小区的各邻小区的变量值从高到低排序,选择变量值最大的 M个邻小区作为与本 小区进行 ICIC交互的邻小区, 或者, 设定某一门限值, 将变量值大于该门限值的前 M个 邻小区作为与本小区进行 ICIC交互的邻小区。
具体的, 在现网或 LTE eNPS规划软件中, 小区间的位置关系并不满足理论上的拓朴 结构。 因而, 究竟选择哪些邻小区作为与本小区实现 ICIC 交互的邻小区, 是规划时必须 考虑的一个问题。 可依 CRS确定下行的交互邻小区。 具体步驟则可以如下:
利用基站间距、 天线方向角、 导频信号覆盖交叠情况等因素, 确定基本邻小区列表; 以边缘 UE接收的本小区 CRS为测量量, 计算边缘 UE和各个邻小区之间的信干噪比 (即 Geometry ); 确定该 UE最强的 Geometry对应的邻小区, 将该邻 d、区对应的变量值加 1; 遍历本小区边缘 UE, 对本小区所有边缘 UE计算其与各个邻小区之间的 Geometry, 将该 UE最强的 Geometry对应的邻小区的变量值加 1 ; 对本小区各邻小区的变量值从高到低排 序, 选择变量值最大的 M个邻小区 (典型取值为: M=6 )作为与本小区进行 ICIC交互的 邻小区, 同时确定交互邻小区列表。 或者设定某一门限值, 当大于该门限值的变量值大于 M个, 则取前 M个为与本小区进行 ICIC交互的邻小区, 否则有几个邻小区就取几个邻小 区作为交互邻小区。 3、 根据 RNTP预设值和邻小区信息确定参与 ICIC的各 UE的 PRB优先级。
实施中, 对于本次 ICIC中的小区资源规划与 PRB优先级设置可以是:
根据一段时间或几次调度周期内本小区每个边缘用户类的 UE的频谱效率和数据速率 要求, 预测边缘用户类的 UE使用的 PRB个数;
根据预测的 PRB个数、 邻小区 RNTP标志和 RNTP设置优先级, 确定边缘用户类的
UE的优先使用频率资源集合以及各个 PRB上的 RNTP预设值;
根据邻小区干扰功率、 邻小区 RNTP、 本小区 RNTP、 进行 ICIC交互的邻小区个数、 本小区和邻小区的 PRB个数和索引号, 针对干扰等级为 0和 1的 PRB , 为中心用户类的
UE和边缘用户类的 UE分别设置 PRB的优先级。
具体的,对于边缘用户和中心用户均可使用所有 PRB资源, 将中心用户或边缘用户资 源可用指示 (均可用)输入调度模块。 设边缘用户规划的优先使用频率资源集合为 edge-dl
R
根据预测的 PRB个数、 RNTP标志和 RNTP设置优先级来确定 edge-d!集合, 然后将 和 PRB优先级, 输入给调度和功控模块。 其中, RNTP即相对窄带发射功率指示, 用来指示本小区 PRB上的下行发送功率等级, 通知邻小区哪些 PRB以高功率发送, 邻小 区在调度边缘 UE时尽量避开这些 PRB; RNTP设置优先级与邻小区千扰等级、 邻小区千 扰功率等有关。
具体实施中, 可以是:
1 ) 确定小区 RNTP门限, 可根据小区类型、 小区规模、 预测的 PRB个数、 一段时间 内的发射功率、 用户所处环境等因素设置。
2 ) 确定 PRB的 RNTP设置优先级。
根据被告知的多个邻 '〗、区在每个 PRB上的 RNTP, 判断被告知的多个邻小区的 RNTP 中, 是否存在 RNTP在该 PRB上指示为 1 , 如果存在, 该 PRB的干扰等级为 1 , 否则为 0; 计算千扰等级为 1的 PRB的邻小区干扰功率, 并排序。 干扰功率越大, RNTP的设置优先 级越小; 千扰等级为 0的 PRB的 RNTP设置优先级比干扰等级为 1的 PRB的 RNTP设置 优先级高。
3 ) RNTP设置。
可采用两种方式: 根据与 RNTP门限值的比较, 为本小区设置 RNTP的值, 告知与之 进行 ICIC交互的邻小区; 或根据干扰等级设置 RNTP, 并将 RNTP设置结果告知邻小区。 根据千扰等级设置 RNTP的具体做法为: 若千扰等级为 0的 PRB个数大于 N,按设定的资 源分配顺序依次将 N个 PRB的 RNTP标志为 1 , 其他位置标志为 0 , 否则, 按 RNTP设置 优先级从高到低依次将 N个 PRB的 RNTP标志为 1, 其他位置标志为 0。 4 )计算每个 PRB的优先级, 并输入调度模块。
经过上述方式便可以根据邻小区千扰功率、 邻小区 RNTP、 本小区 RNTP、 进行 ICIC 交互的邻小区个数、本小区和邻小区的 PRB个数和索引号, 以及各种因素在不同小区环境 等因素下的作用优先级, 针对干扰等级为 0和 1的 PRB, 为中心用户和边缘用户分别设置 资源使用优先级, 并将设置结果输入给调度模块。 实施中, 原则上, 干扰等级为 0的 PRB 先分配给边缘用户使用, 还有剩余时, 再分配给中心用户使用。
4、 功率调整。
实施中,在根据 PRB的优先级进行资源调度后对功率分配进行控制时,可以对中心用 户和边缘用户设置不同的 值,典型的, 为边缘用户设置的 值大于或等于为中心用户 设置的 值。 A为由高层信令配置的 UE专属参数, 与每个 OFDM符号上的物理下行链 路共享信道 ( Physical Downlink Shared Channel, PDSCH )的每资源单元的能量( Energy Per Resource Element, EPRE )和小区专属参考信号 ( reference signals, RS )的 EPRE有关。
5、 半静态 ICIC调整周期。
可在资源每更新调度 num次后, 进行一次半静态 ICIC的调整(即调度 num次, 做一 次 ICIC )。每次 ICIC调整结束的标志是, 本小区和其所有邻小区都进行过一次资源的调整 更新。
实施中, 可以根据前一段时间或者几次调度后系统平均资源利用率获得系统负荷信 息, 通过比较系统负荷和 ICIC系统负荷门限的大小来判定是否进行 ICIC的模拟。
实施中,是否发起 ICIC调整可以是在本小区被告知的 RNTP、预测的 PRB个数、 RNTP 门限之一或者其组合发生变化时进行 ICIC的模拟。
实施中, 在进行 ICIC 的模拟时, 可以以本小区为始, 按本小区的模拟方式依次调整 各邻小区, 直至所有邻小区都在本次 ICIC周期内完成过一次调整。
下面以在 LTE e PS规划软件中的实施为例来进行说明。
图 2为所有小区的 ICIC实施流程示意图, 如图所示, 可以包括如下步骤: 步骤 201、 进入 "下行半静态 ICIC" 实现界面;
步骤 202、 比较系统负荷和 ICIC系统负荷门限的大小来判定是否采用半静态 ICIC方 式;
本步骤中, 可以根据前一段时间或者几次调度后系统平均资源利用率获得系统负荷信 息。 通过比较系统负荷和 ICIC系统负荷门限的大小, 判定半静态 ICIC是否采用;
步骤 203、 确定用户位置信息, 并输入调度和功控模块;
步骤 204、 确定与本小区进行 ICIC交互的邻小区列表和邻小区优先级;
步骤 205、 PRB个数预测; 本步骤中, 可以预测小区边缘用户需要的 PRB个数;
步驟 206、 规划资源, 确定资源可用, 输入调度和功控模块;
本步骤中, 可以进行资源可用设置, 输入给调度和功控模块;
步骤 207、 预置本小区 RNTP门限值;
步骤 208、 为本小区的 PRB确定 R TP设置优先级;
步骤 209、 为本小区进行 PRB的 RNTP设置, 获得边缘用户规划的优先使用频率资源 集合为 edSe- dl , 告知邻小区;
步骤 210、 设置 PRB使用优先级, 输入调度和功控模块;
步骤 211、 将调度情况输入调度和功控模块, 对功率分配进行控制;
在步驟 206至 211中, 可以设置 RNTP, 告知邻小区。 计算 ICIC PRB优先级, 并输入 调度。 当平台优化为可实现联合调度时, RNTP设置方式转化为预设置方式。 此时的做法 变为, 根据 RNTP预设值和邻小区信息, 计算 ICIC PRB优先级, 告知调度, 再根据调度 情况设置本小区实际 RNTP, 并告知邻小区;
步骤 212、 判断是否完成本小区的邻小区的 ICIC调整, 是则转入步骤 213 , 否则转入 步骤 205;
步骤 213、判断是否完成所有小区的 ICIC调整,是则转入步骤 215 ,否则转入步骤 214; 步骤 214、 将本小区的邻小区再当做本小区, 准备开始进行邻小区的邻小区的 ICIC调 整, 转入步骤 205;
步骤 215、 结束调用下行半静态 ICIC。
在步驟 212至 214中, 主要是判定是否所有小区均完成本次 ICIC调整。 在本次 ICIC 调整流程中, 有无对该小区做过调整, 有则跳过, 无则调整。 调整思路如下: 根据邻小区 列表中的优先级顺序, 即本小区对邻小区的干扰从高到低的顺序, 依次进行邻小区的 ICIC 调整。接着,设部小区为目标小区,调整各邻小区的邻小区 ... ...直至所有小区都在本次 ICIC 周期内完成过一次调整。 即在进行 ICIC 的模拟时, 以本小区为始, 按本小区的模拟方式 依次调整各邻小区, 直至所有邻小区都在本次 ICIC周期内完成过一次调整。
基于同一发明构思, 本发明实施例中还提供了一种 ICIC 的模拟设备, 由于该设备解 决问题的原理与小区间干扰协调的模拟方法相似, 因此该设备的实施可以参见方法的实 施, 重复之处不再赘述。
