- the process of collecting information by the resource usage information collector 310 will be described below with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.
- the resource usage information collector 310 may collect resource usage information by periodically transmitting an information collection request to the managed access network, or may collect resource usage information by receiving information data actively sent by the managed access network. Figure 5 and Figure 6 Examples of these two cases are shown separately.
- resource usage information is actively collected by the resource usage information collector 310. This type of collection generally occurs periodically.

- step S550 the information data InfoData is transmitted to the antenna management apparatus.
- resource usage information collection is initiated by the access network. This type of collection typically occurs when the performance of the access network changes dramatically.
- step S610 the access network sends an information transmission request, for example, information transmission request signaling, to the antenna management apparatus 300, specifically, to the resource usage information collector 310.
- an information transmission request for example, information transmission request signaling
- step S620 after receiving the request, the resource usage information collector 310 determines whether to receive the information according to the status.
- step S630 the resource usage information collector 310 directly transmits the information transmission response signaling InfoSend_reply to True and transmits to the access network to notify the access network to allow reception. If the reception is rejected (for example, because the current network load is heavy), then in step S650, the resource usage information collector 310 directly converts the InfoSend_reply to False and sends it to the access network. In order to notify the access network to refuse to receive.

- the information data is classified. If it is an antenna scheduling request signaling AntennaSchedule_request, the signaling is forwarded to the antenna scheduler 320 to initiate antenna scheduling. If it is resource usage status data, the data is stored in a storage device, such as resource usage status database 340, and an information analysis request signaling InfoAnalyze_request is sent to resource utilization efficiency analyzer 330 to initiate resource usage efficiency analysis.
- the resource usage status database 340 is primarily used to store resource usage status data for an access network governed by the antenna management device 300.
- the contents of the database 340 may contain information between the internal information of the access network and the access network.
- the internal information of the access network is mainly obtained by collecting resource usage status information.
- the internal information of the access network includes, for example, the spectrum resources used by the access network, the adopted wireless technology, and the architecture of the access network (such as antenna characteristics and distribution, cell coverage, link relationships in a multi-hop network, etc.) , resource usage statistics of the access network.
- the resource usage statistics of the access network may include statistics of power control changes over time, utilization of radio resources over time, changes in the signal-to-noise ratio of the user with the location, and changes in the number of users over time.
- the information between the access networks includes, for example, the relative position and distance between the access networks (specifically, the relative position and distance between the antennas), the statistical information of the interference conditions between the access networks, and the like.
- Information between access networks can be obtained using a variety of existing methods. For example, in the days when GPS is commonly used, GPS can be used to locate the specific physical location of each access network, thereby calculating the relative position and distance between the access networks.
- the resource usage status database 340 can provide data and updates by the resource usage information collector 310, providing the antenna scheduler 320 and the resource usage efficiency analyzer 330 with the data required for operation.
- the resource usage efficiency analyzer 330 determines the access network with low resource utilization by analyzing the resource usage status data collected by the resource usage information collector 310. For example, the resource usage efficiency analyzer 330 may query the resource usage status database 340 to select an access network whose resource utilization is lower than a predetermined threshold U tiliz tionRate Th as the object set u.
- the resource utilization of the access network can be expressed as the average of the ratio of system throughput to system capacity over a period of time.
- step S720 the resource usage efficiency analyzer 330 determines whether the resource utilization rate is caused by interference.
- the low resource utilization rate is caused by many factors, such as the fact that the number of users who may work is small, which may be due to the low total bandwidth requirement of the service, which may be caused by interference from other access networks, and so on.
- antenna scheduling is required only when the resource utilization caused by interference is low.
- the resource usage efficiency analyzer 330 may determine whether the resource utilization is caused by interference by the following method: For the access network set selected in step S710 [/, examine each of the access networks in a certain period of time in the past Average signal-to-noise ratio H If the average signal-to-noise ratio is lower than the predetermined threshold ⁇ 3 ⁇ 4 , it indicates that the access network is subjected to large interference, and it can be considered that the low resource utilization rate is caused by interference. If the average signal to noise ratio is higher than the predetermined threshold ⁇ , it indicates that the access network is less interfered, and it can be considered that the low resource utilization is not caused by interference, and the access network can be removed from the set [/.
- the elements in the access network set t/ finally obtained by the above method are access networks with low resource utilization and severe interference, and antenna scheduling is required. Of course, other existing methods can also be used to determine whether the low resource utilization is caused by interference.
- step S720 If it is judged in step S720 that the resource utilization of the access network is low due to interference, indicating that the antenna scheduling needs to be enabled, the resource usage efficiency analyzer 330 initiates the antenna scheduling in step S730. Or, when the set t/ is not empty, the resource usage efficiency analyzer 330 initiates antenna scheduling. This can be done by sending an antenna scheduling request signaling AntennaSchedule_ request to the antenna scheduler 320. If it is determined in step S720 that the resource utilization rate of the access network is not caused by interference, the resource usage efficiency analyzer 330 determines in step S740 that the access network does not need to perform antenna scheduling.
- the Resource Usage Efficiency Analyzer 330 can also be used to maintain a resource usage status database. Part of the results of the resource utilization analysis is helpful for future antenna management, so it can be stored in the resource usage status database 340 after determining whether antenna scheduling is required. For example, the access network that determines that the interference causes the resource utilization to be low in step S720, and thus needs to perform antenna scheduling, is marked. When the resource usage information collector 310 performs information collection, it is possible to specifically target these marked access networks to improve the efficiency of the antenna management apparatus.
- the operation of the antenna scheduler 320 to perform antenna scheduling on the access network to allocate radio resources may be initiated by the access network or initiated by the resource usage efficiency analyzer 330.
- the antenna scheduler 320 forms an antenna scheduling set by the access network participating in the antenna scheduling according to the resource usage state data obtainable from the resource usage state database 340, and allocates radio resources to the wireless link cluster in the antenna scheduling set to complete Antenna scheduling.
- the selection of the antenna selector 321 in the antenna scheduler 320 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9.
- the access network participating in the antenna scheduling constitutes an operation of the antenna scheduling set.
- the antenna selector 321 is based on network characteristics of the access network, such as coverage, geographical distribution, used spectrum resources, adopted wireless technology, and spectrum utilization efficiency. And other factors, the access network is selected to form a candidate antenna scheduling set. Access networks that use the same spectrum resources are divided into the same candidate antenna scheduling set. As an example, two methods of selecting an access network to compose a candidate antenna scheduling set are given below.
- the set of radio access networks governed by the antenna management apparatus 300 is V, where each element represents an access network V e V.
- the set of available resources is s, where each element ses represents a piece of spectrum resource.
- the antenna selector 321 selects a radio access network using the spectrum resource ss from V to form a candidate antenna scheduling set; selects a radio access network using the spectrum resource from V to form a candidate antenna scheduling set 2 ; and so on, from V
- a disjoint set of candidate antennas that need to perform antenna scheduling is selected, ⁇ ..., ⁇ ', ie ' ⁇ and nt / iM ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ /, as a candidate antenna scheduling set.
- the antenna selector 321 queries whether the access network in the candidate antenna scheduling set participates in the current antenna scheduling.
- the antenna selector 321 sends a Join Scheduling Request (U 1 ) to the access network in the ⁇ , and asks whether it joins the antenna scheduling of the current set; sends a signaling JoinSchedule request to the access network in t/ 2 (U 2 ), ask whether it joins the antenna scheduling of this ⁇ 2 set; and ask all other sets t/ 3 , ... , t/, in turn.
- the antenna selector 321 receives feedback on whether or not to participate in antenna scheduling.
- Each access network determines whether to participate in the current antenna scheduling according to its own priority, resource utilization, and performance statistics, and participates in scheduling response signaling.
- JoinSchedule _ reply is fed back to the antenna selector: if it is T e, it means participation; if it is, it means not participating.
- Each access network may also return the respective resource demand and pre-scheduling results to the antenna selector 321 as reference information for antenna scheduling.
- step S840 the antenna selector 321 finally determines each according to the feedback of the network.
- an access network that does not participate in the current scheduling may be removed from the candidate antenna scheduling set, or an access network that does not participate in the scheduling may be marked.
- Feedback from the access network can include the following types.
- [72] (2) is also a high priority access network ⁇ 2 due to lower resource utilization over time, they agreed to participate antenna scheduling, hope in performance gains.
- the access network has low priority on resource occupation, and cannot obtain resources when there is resource competition with users with higher priority, and statistics show that the access network has less chance of obtaining resources for a long period of time. . Then v 3 wants to participate in antenna scheduling to get more resources to use.
- the access network has a low priority on resource occupation. Although it has not performed well in the past ten days, it still performs well. Therefore, it is hoped that it will not participate in antenna scheduling according to its own scheduling scheme.
- the antenna selector 321 classifies the access networks in the candidate set into four categories according to whether or not to participate in antenna scheduling and the priority level of spectrum usage: the first type has a high priority for the frequency use. Do not participate in antenna scheduling; Class 2 uses high priority for frequency use and participates in antenna scheduling; Class 3 uses low priority for frequency transmission but does not participate in antenna scheduling; Class 4 uses low priority for frequency usage and participates in scheduling.
- the antenna management device 300 can take different processing strategies. For example, for the Type 1 access network, the pre-scheduling result provided by the access network is used as a reference for antenna scheduling. When performing radio resource allocation, it is avoided to affect the scheduling result. Antenna scheduling is performed on the Type 2 access network and the radio resources are preferentially allocated to ensure high resource utilization. No action is taken on the Type 3 access network. Antenna scheduling for Category 4 access networks does not guarantee wireless resource usage opportunities.
- step S910 the antenna selector 321 inquires whether or not the access network governed by the antenna management apparatus participates in antenna scheduling.
- step S920 the antenna manager 321 receives each access network about whether to participate in antenna scheduling. Feedback.
- step S930 the antenna manager 321 selects an access network participating in the antenna scheduling to form an antenna scheduling set according to the feedback of the access network, and the access network using the same spectrum resource is divided into the same candidate antenna scheduling set.
- the link cluster divider 322 in the antenna scheduler 320 divides the wireless link of each access network in the antenna scheduling set into one or more wireless link clusters,
- the resource scheduler 323 allocates radio resources for all radio link clusters in the antenna scheduling set such that mutual interference between all radio link clusters is within a predetermined range.
- the antenna scheduling object is actually the wireless link cluster in the access network participating in the scheduling.
- the object of scheduling is usually the wireless link in the access network to participate in the scheduling.
- Wireless networks especially wireless communication networks, have a large number of wireless chains, and scheduling needs to be performed periodically.
- the wireless links are clustered to form a wireless link cluster, with the wireless link cluster as the scheduling unit.
- one possible wireless link clustering method is:
- each wireless link between infrastructure nodes independently forms a wireless link cluster; the wireless link between users including the infrastructure and its direct services constitutes A wireless link cluster between the infrastructure and the user, in particular, the downlink wireless link between the infrastructure and a plurality of users directly serving it can form one or more wireless link clusters, the infrastructure and multiple of its direct Uplink wireless links between users of the service may form one or more wireless link clusters.
- Each wireless link independently forms a wireless link cluster.
- a radio link cluster may consist of one or more radio links in the same access network that have the same transmitting node or the same receiving node.

- the antenna scheduler 320 allocates radio resources to the radio link cluster of the access network in the antenna scheduling set, it is necessary that the mutual interference between the radio link clusters is within a predetermined range. Because the access network in the same antenna scheduling set uses the same spectrum resource, mutual interference may occur when the same resource is used for data transmission between the wireless link clusters. This is also called the repulsive constraint of antenna scheduling.

If the type of transmit antenna is an omnidirectional antenna or a directional antenna, the radiation angle S and the deflection angle of the antenna beam are both determined, and the radiation radius is determined by the power level. The power level can be arbitrarily selected within the range of values. If the type of transmitting antenna is a smart antenna, the three parameters (, r) of the antenna beam can be freely set within the range of values, and the specific radiation radius r corresponds to a specific power level. Since the smart antenna has a flexible selection range, enabling it to obtain more scheduling opportunities, it is preferable to select the link cluster of the antenna as an omnidirectional or directional antenna as the initial wireless link cluster.

Otherwise, the process of selecting the independent scheduling link cluster group ends, and the process proceeds to step S1120 in Fig. 11. After considering one link cluster in ⁇ , the link cluster is removed from the set ⁇ . Therefore, when all the link clusters have been considered, ⁇ becomes an empty set. Therefore, the determination method of step S1220 is to determine whether ⁇ is an empty set. If ⁇ is an empty set, the selection ends. If ⁇ is not empty, it means that the selection has not been completed, and the process proceeds to step S1230.

If yes, then at the step The next candidate radio link cluster is added to the independent scheduling link cluster group in the SI 250, and the process returns to step S1220. If not, the process directly returns to step S 1220.

- the signal to noise ratio exceeds, for example, the tolerable range, then the reduced power level is attempted until the signal to noise ratio reaches the tolerance limit.
- the radius of radiation is the radius corresponding to the coverage of the power level.
- the radiation angle of the antenna beam can be equally divided into a plurality of sub-radiation angles, that is, equally divided in the circumferential direction. Multiple sectors. For each sector, a method similar to that for directional antennas is used to find the appropriate power level and then merge. Merging can include the most power level Maximizing or radiating angles maximizes two different goals. That is, the power level of the combined antenna beam is maximized (meaning that the radius of radiation is maximized), or the radiation angle of the combined antenna beam is maximized. In order to improve the accuracy, the bandwidth requirements of each sector can also be considered in the consolidation, and the sectors without bandwidth requirements do not need to be merged.

- the bandwidth requirement of all radio link clusters is 0, it indicates that the bandwidth requirements of all radio link clusters are satisfied, and the entire antenna scheduling process can be judged to be ended.
- step S1130 If it is determined in step S1130 that the antenna scheduling has not ended, the process returns to step S1110 to continue selecting the independent scheduling link cluster group. If so, the process goes to S440 in Fig. 4, and the resource scheduler 323 transmits the radio resource allocation result to the access network where the radio link cluster is located.
