- FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the outline of the cooperative interference cancellation method according to the present embodiment.
- UE 100-1 is a UE to which a cooperative interference cancellation scheme is applied.
- the UE 100-1 has established a connection (RRC connection) with a cell managed by the eNB 200-1. That is, the cell managed by eNB 200-1 corresponds to the serving cell of UE 100-1.
- the neighboring cell adjacent to the serving cell is managed by the eNB 200-2 different from the eNB 200-1.
- the UE 100-2 has established a connection (RRC connection) with a cell managed by the eNB 200-2. Note that the eNB 200-1 and the eNB 200-2 are synchronized.
- the eNB 200-1 and the eNB 200-2 are connected to each other via the X2 interface. Also, the eNB 200-1 and the eNB 200-2 are connected to the MME / S-GW 300 through the S1 interface.
- UE 100-1 is located near the boundary between a cell (serving cell) managed by eNB 200-1 and a cell (adjacent cell) managed by eNB 200-2. Therefore, when eNB 200-2 performs transmission to UE 100-2 using the same radio resource as eNB 200-1, UE 100-1 receives downlink interference from eNB 200-2. That is, UE 100-1 receives the desired wave signal from the serving cell and also receives the interference wave signal from the adjacent cell.
- the eNB 200-1 In such an operating environment, the eNB 200-1 generates an interference replica signal corresponding to the interference wave signal, and superimposes the interference replica signal on the desired wave signal. Then, the eNB 200-1 transmits the desired wave signal on which the interference replica signal is superimposed to the UE 100-1.
- the eNB 200-1 generates an interference replica signal so that the interference replica signal received by the UE 100-1 cancels the interference wave signal received by the UE 100-1. Specifically, the eNB 200-1 generates an interference replica signal so that the phase of the interference replica signal received by the UE 100-1 is opposite to the phase of the interference wave signal received by the UE 100-1. Further, the eNB 200-1 generates an interference replica signal so that the amplitude of the interference replica signal received by the UE 100-1 is the same as the amplitude of the interference wave signal received by the UE 100-1.
- the interference replica signal is synthesized in the opposite phase to the interference wave signal at the position of the UE 100-1, and cancels the interference wave signal. Therefore, since the reception power of the interference wave signal in UE 100-1 can be reduced, SIR can be improved. Further, since it is not necessary to secure radio resources for the UE 100-1 in the adjacent cell, the use efficiency of radio resources can be improved compared to JT-CoMP, DPS-CoMP, and CS-CoMP. Furthermore, even when the eNB 200-2 does not have a plurality of antennas, that is, when beam forming / null steering is not possible, this method (cooperative interference cancellation method) can be applied.
- the interference replica signal remains in a position other than the position of the UE 100-1 without being synthesized in an opposite phase to the interference wave signal. Therefore, the interference replica signal also functions as an interference signal that interferes with demodulation of the desired wave signal at a position other than the position of the UE 100-1. Therefore, according to the cooperative interference cancellation method, the confidentiality of communication can be improved.
- the eNB 200-1 acquires at least part of information necessary for generating the interference replica signal from at least one of the eNB 200-2, the MME / S-GW 300, and the UE 100-1.
