本发明的较佳实施方式
为使本发明的目的、 技术方案和优点更加清楚, 以下结合附图对本发明 作进一步地详细说明。
为减小主小区和协作小区之间数据交互给 X2口的传输造成的压力, 本 发明的实施例提出了一种新的上行无线协作多点传输通信网络架构及相应的 传输方法。
如图 1所示, 第一种上行无线协作多点传输通信网络架构中, 该通信网 络包括: 多个基站及多个协作接收点, 其中, 每一协作接收点在相邻的基站 间以公用方式工作, 将接收处理的射频或基带信号发送至有需求的基站。
例如, 图 1中协作接收点釆用相邻 eNodeB公用的方式, 小区 CELL 0和
CELL 1之间的协作接收点为两个小区所公用, 小区 CELL 0周围的 6个协作 接收点均是与相邻小区所公用的协作接收点。 在公用方式下, 协作接收点不 归属于某一个 eNodeB, 而是多个 eNodeB公用。 协作接收点把接收处理的射 频或基带信号发往需要的 eNodeB。
如图 2所示, 第二种上行无线协作多点传输通信网络架构中, 该通信网 络包括: 多个基站, 每一基站配置有其私有的一个或多个协作接收点, 其中, 每一协作接收点只与自己所属的基站进行通信。
例如, 图 2中, 小区 CELL O和 CELL 1的基站都各自拥有自己的协作接 收点,其接收点是基站私有的协作接收点,小区 CELL 0拥有 6个协作接收点, 而小区 CELL 1则拥有 3个协作接收点。 协作接收点仅与自己所属的 eNodeB 进行通信, 这样可以降低邻区 UE对本区 UE信号的干扰。
在上述两种组网架构中, 协作接收点只具有接收无线信号功能, 不具有 发射功能, 这样就不会对原有的网络布局产生影响。 协作接收点主要包括以
下两部分:
第一部分, 是接收无线信号的阵列天线(也可以是其他天线形式) ; 第二部分, 是射频接收单元。 基于上述两部分结构的协作接收点, 具体实现时可以有两种实现方案。 如图 3所示, 在协作接收点的第一种实现方案中, 协作接收点从天线上 接收到射频数据, 协作接收点的射频接收单元将射频信号经过放大, 解调, A/D 转换等处理后变成基带信号, 然后将基带信号传送给主 eNodeB。 主 eNodeB将协作接收点传送的基带信号联合主 eNodeB接收到的基带信号进行 解调处理, 获得空间分集增益和功率增益。 其中, 协作接收点和主 eNodeB 之间传输釆用光纤传输。
如图 4所示, 在协作接收点的第二种实现方案中, 协作接收点从天线上 接收到射频数据, 协作接收点的射频接收单元只将射频信号放大转发, 通过 射频线路发送给主 eNodeB。 主 eNodeB配置有射频信号处理单元, 射频信号 处理单元将所接收的射频信号放大, 解调和 A/D转换为基带信号。 该方案将 协作接收点的射频处理交给主 eNodeB 的射频处理单元处理, 降低了布网成 本。
上述的协作接收点的接收天线选用阵列天线, 可以在基带使用阵列信号 处理的方法降低非目标 UE方向的信号的干扰。
应用本发明, 在不使用 X2口资源的情况下(如在 X2口传输时延不能满 足传统 CoMP 的上行联合接收)达到上行 CoMP 的效果, 相比传统的上行 CoMP方法而言,可以获得更好的功率增益。具体组网时,可以在基于 R8 LTE 协议组网的基础上增加各个小区的协作接收点来达到提升单个小区和整个网 络上行吞吐量的效果。
在包括多个基站及多个协作接收点的上述的组网方式的通信网络中, 本 发明实施例的一种上行无线协作多点传输的方法, 包括:
主基站与属于本小区的协作接收点建立协作关系, 在需要协作接收时从 属于本小区的协作接收点中确定参与协作接收的协作接收点;
参与协作接收的协作接收点在主基站的数据接收触发信号后, 在对应空
口时段接收用户终端数据,并将所接收的用户终端数据或信号发送至主基站; 主基站根据参与协作接收的协作接收点发送过来的数据或信号连同本主 基站接收到的数据进行联合检测解调上行数据。
协作接收点发送过来的数据或信号是所接收处理的射频或基带信号或数 据。 协作接收点的接收天线选用阵列天线。
所述属于本小区的协作接收点包括本基站私有的接收点和 /或与其他小 区公用的协作接收点。
下面结合图 5至图 8对上述协作传输的具体实施步骤进行详细说明。 如图 5所示, 给出了 eNode B对协作接收点进行配置的流程图。
通常, 带协作接收点的小区建立过程中, 在小区建立时或协作接收点变 更时需要通过 eNode B对协作接收点进行配置。 具体配置流程包括:
步骤 501 , 在图 1和图 2所示布网环境下, 主 eNodeB建立小区时向属于 本小区的各个协作接收点 (包括本 eNodeB私有的接收点和与其他小区公用 的协作接收点)发送小区建立请求(本小区的协作接收点个数可以釆用手动 配置或自适应探测 ) ;
其中, 建立请求中的请求信息包括小区中心频点、 系统带宽和其他系统 信息 (如 TDD-LTE系统的上下行子帧配比等)信息。
步骤 502, 协作接收点接收到 eNodeB发过来的小区建立请求信号后, 自 己检测各个模块是否正常, 将配置消息正确配置成功后, 给 eNodeB返回一 个 ACK确认消息, 并保证协作接收点与 eNodeB时间同步; 若检测到各个模 块工作异常或配置失败, 则给 eNodeB返回一个 NACK消息。
步骤 503 , eNodeB接收到协作接收点反馈的 ACK消息后, 确认协作接 收点配置成功, 并将反馈 ACK的协作接收点置为可用状态; 若 eNodeB接收 到协作接收点反馈的 NACK, 则将反馈 NACK的该协作接收点置为不可用。
步骤 504, 带协作接收点的 eNodeB在小区正常建立成功后, 正常工作。
如图 6所示, 在小区内驻留的 UE进行协作传输的流程包括:
首先, 判断驻留在本小区的 UE是否需要上行协作接收, 判断时可通过 eNodeB配置 UE测量小区的信号强度(如 RSRP、 RSRQ等 )或通过测量到 的 UE的路径损耗即路损 ( PL, Pathloss )值来确定;
然后, 当 UE测量的小区信号强度低于一定门限(或 eNodeB测量到 UE 的 PL达到一定的门限) , UE会上报测量事件通知 eNodeB。
如图 7所示, 上行多点协作接收方法包括以下步骤:
步骤 701-703: eNodeB收到 UE上报的需要协作接收的事件后, 会给各 个协作接收点发送查询命令, 各个协作接收点收到查询命令后将接收到的数 据反馈给 eNodeB;
步骤 704: eNodeB根据各个协作接收点测量到的该 UE接收信号的功率 或测量到的 UE发送的信号质量(譬如使用信噪比来衡量)来判断应由哪些 接收协作点参与该 UE上行接收协作, 当协作接收点接收到的信号大于某一 门限的时候才会配置该协作接收点参与到该 UE的协作接收中。
步骤 705-706: eNodeB在目标 UE调度完成时向参与到目标 UE协作接 收的协作接收点发送数据接收触发信号, 操作协作接收点在对应的空口时间 接收数据。
eNodeB发送数据传输命令的时间可以选在上行调度授权信息发送的空 口子帧。 协作接收站点接收到发送数据的命令后就会在对应的时刻将接收数 据发送给 eNodeB。 协作接收点接收数据的时刻按照上行混合自动重传请求 ( HARQ , Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request )时序来推导出来(有 LTE上行 HARQ是同步 HARQ, 从下发上行调度授权到上行 PUSCH发送存在一个固 定的时间间隔) 。
步骤 707: eNodeB将各个协作接收点发送过来的数据或信号连同本站接 收到的数据进行联合检测解调上行数据。
eNodeB配置各个协作接收点发送接收数据的流程如图 8所示,包括以下 步骤:
步骤 801 : 首先判断需要协作接收的 UE队列是否已经接收完, 若不是,
则执行步骤 802;
步骤 802-803: 遍历需要协作接收的 UE队列, 遍历查看该 UE的协作接 收点是否已置为发送接收数据, 如果尚未置为发送接收数据, 则执行步骤 804:;
步骤 804: 将该协作接收点标志位置位, 配置其在对应的子帧发送所接 收的数据;
步骤 805: 判断该 UE所有的协作接收点是否已经遍历完, 若是则返回检 查需要协作接收的 UE队列是否已经接收完,若否, 则遍历查看该 UE的协作 接收点是否已置为发送接收数据。
以上所述仅为本发明的实施例而已, 并不用于限制本发明, 对于本领域 的技术人员来说, 本发明可以有各种更改和变化。 凡在本发明的精神和原则 之内, 所作的任何修改、 等同替换、 改进等, 均应包含在本发明的权利要求 范围之内。
工业实用性
上述技术方案可对处于小区边缘的 UE进行上行协作接收(获得上行接 收的分集增益和功率增益) , 可在不改变现有站点布局覆盖的基础下提高位 于小区边缘的 UE上行接收增益, 获得更大的上行吞吐量, 并且不会给 X2口 带来开销, 不会占用邻区的无线资源, 从而可以提高整个网络的吞吐量。 因 此本发明具有很强的工业实用性。
