- 3GPP Release- 11 3GPP Release- 11 and earlier, there have been some research on interference cancellation for Pico ( ⁇ : base station) and Femto (home base station).
- Pico provides a scheme for hotspot service offloading. It is found that the Pico base station has a small transmission power compared to the macro base station, and the effect of service offload is not obvious, and the load of Pico is only about 60%. Therefore, 3GPP proposes a Cell Range Expansion (CRE) technology, which allows the terminal to preferentially access the Pico cell by setting the access offset (Bias). However, the terminal accessing the Pico service in the CRE area receives a large amount of interference power from the macro base station. For this reason, the 3GPP has carried out two topics of Eicic and Feicic, and time-multiplexed the macro base station and the Pico by the ABS (Almost Blank Subframe) technology. The control signal ensures the reliability of the control channel.
- CRE Cell Range Expansion
- Femto is a user-located home base station that accesses the core network through ADSL.
- the indoor deployment location is relatively random. Without the operator's network planning, multiple Femto scenarios may occur.

- RSRP Reference Signal Receiving Power
- RSRQ reference Signal
- Receiving Quality, reference signal reception quality can also be other parameters that can reflect the cell signal strength and signal to noise ratio.
- Step 606 Determine whether the terminal has a service request, and needs to wake up the base station. If yes, go to step 608. Otherwise, go back to step 604; the service request of the active terminal is initiated by itself, such as data access, voice call, etc.
- the service request of the terminal in the idle state is a service request generated according to a trigger request (such as a load balancing based network switching requirement) sent by the camping cell.

Wake up the request and accurately locate the base station that needs to wake up through the preamble sequence in the wakeup request.
- Step 610 After receiving the wakeup request sent by the terminal, the base station determines whether to switch to the working state. If the handover working state is determined, step 612 is performed; otherwise, the process returns to step 602.
- the base station needs to perform some determination steps after receiving the wake-up request, and then can determine whether to perform the state switching. For example, the base station may perform state switching immediately after receiving the wake-up request, or may switch from the sleep state to the working state when it is determined that the wake-up request from multiple terminals is received within the preset time period, thereby ensuring After the base station is woken up, there are enough service requests, and since the number of base stations that wake up is reduced, interference between multiple base stations is avoided, and the power consumption of the base station is also reduced.

Femto是一种用户布置的家庭基站, 通过 ADSL等方式接入到核心网, 在室内的 部署位置比较随意, 没有经过运营商的网络规划, 可能会出现多个 Femto非常接近的 场景。 同时 Femto往往釆用 CSG ( Close Subscribe Group ) 配置, 即只为授权用户提 供服务, Femto 对邻近的非授权用户的干扰往往很大。 针对这个问题, 3GPP 提供了 Femto功率控制、 控制信道频率复用等干扰管理方式来解决干扰问题, 但在 Femto基 站密度大的区域仍是不能很好工作。
为了提供更好的覆盖和业务分流, 多个微小区可能被密集部署, 相互间的干扰非 常大。 部分公司提出了釆用小区休眠 (Cell ON/OFF ) 的方式, 将暂时没有数据传输 的小区关闭, 以消除干扰。
但是, 直接关闭没有数据传输的小区, 使得终端无法搜索到处于休眠状态的小 区, 也就无法在需要进行数据传输时唤醒这些小区。 发明内容
本发明正是基于上述技术问题至少之一, 提出了一种新的小区干扰协调方案, 可 以使基站在进入休眠状态时发送导频信息, 在避免对其他基站造成干扰的同时, 使得 终端能够根据接收到的导频信息, 在需要时唤醒休眠的基站。
有鉴于此, 本发明提出了一种小区干扰协调方法, 包括: 基站在从工作状态切换 至休眠状态之后, 停止发送除导频信息之外的其他信息。
在该技术方案中, 通过使基站从工作状态切换至休眠状态后, 停止发送除导频信 息之外的其他信息, 可以避免暂时不需提供数据和 /或语音服务的基站发送的上述其他 信息对其他基站造成的干扰, 同时使得终端可以通过基站发送的导频信息搜索到处于 休眠状态的基站, 确保了终端在需要进行数据传输和 /或语音服务时能够及时唤醒休眠 的基站。
在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 还包括: 所述基站在确定自身满足预设的状态切换 条件时, 从工作状态切换至休眠状态; 其中, 所述状态切换条件包括: 小区内不存在 激活状态和空闲状态的终端; 或小区内不存在激活状态的终端; 或小区内仅存在空闲 状态的终端, 且存在用于所述空闲状态的终端进行驻留的其他小区; 或小区内存在激 活状态的终端和空闲状态的终端, 且存在用于所述激活状态的终端和所述空闲状态的 终端进行驻留的其他小区。
在该技术方案中, 通过对基站对应的小区内的终端的状况进行统计, 以确保基站
的休眠对于终端的影响尽可能小, 保证用户得到良好的使用体验。
在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 还包括: 所述基站仅在部分天线端口发送所述导频 信息。
在该技术方案中, 在休眠状态下, 基站可以正常发送导频信息; 但由于导频信息 造成的干扰较大, 因而通过在基站休眠时仅在部分天线端口发送导频信息, 可以在确 保终端能够搜索到休眠基站的情况下, 降低基站对其他未休眠小区造成的干扰。 具体 地, 比如说能够用于发送 CRS 导频信息的天线端口包括 0、 1、 2、 3 , 那么可以选择 其中的任意一个、 两个或三个, 以用于发送 CRS 导频信息, 则相对于使用所有天线 端口发送导频信息时, 上述方案显然能够有效降低对其他基站的干扰。
在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 当所述导频信息为小区专用导频时, 所述部分天线 端口的序号为 2和 /或 3。
在该技术方案中, 基站在选择部分天线端口发送导频信息时, 可以优先选择发送 的导频信息对其他未休眠小区不造成干扰或造成干扰最小的天线端口, 以减少对其他 未休眠小区造成的干扰。 当导频信息为小区专用导频时, 选择序号为 2和 /或 3的天线 端口可以有效降低导频信息对其他未休眠小区造成的干扰, 从而提高其他未休眠小区 的通信质量。
在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 还包括: 所述基站接收唤醒请求, 并从休眠状态切 换至工作状态。
在该技术方案中, 基站接收到的唤醒请求可以是终端自身发起的, 如终端需要进 行数据访问、 语音呼叫等服务, 也可以是网络通过驻留小区通知终端, 由终端判断后 向休眠基站发送的唤醒请求。 通过在基站接收到唤醒请求时, 从休眠状态切换至工作 状态, 使得终端在需要基站提供数据和 /或语音服务时, 及时唤醒处于休眠状态的基 站, 确保终端通信的实时性, 提高了基站工作的性能。
在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 还包括: 所述基站一旦接收到所述唤醒请求, 就从 休眠状态切换至工作状态; 或所述基站在预设时间段内接收到来自多个终端的唤醒请 求时, 从休眠状态切换至工作状态; 和 /或所述基站在确定自身不会对其他基站造成干 扰的情况下, 从休眠状态切换至工作状态。
在该技术方案中, 基站可以在接收到唤醒请求, 即从休眠状态切换至工作状态, 以确保终端正常进行通信。 优选地, 由于终端在发送唤醒请求时, 可能同时对多个基 站进行发送, 为了避免被唤醒的基站过多而造成相互之间的干扰, 因此可以使基站在 预设时间段内接收到来自多个终端的唤醒请求时, 才从休眠状态切换至工作状态, 确 保基站被唤醒之后有足够多的业务请求, 同时由于减少了唤醒的基站数量, 避免了多 个基站之间的干扰, 也降低了基站的能耗。 更进一步地, 还可以使基站在收到唤醒请 求并确定自身不会对其他基站造成干扰时, 从休眠状态切换至工作状态, 从而提高基 站的工作性能。
在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 所述基站判断自身是否会对其他基站造成干扰的过 程包括: 所述基站获取指定基站的实时状态信息, 和 /或获取来自所述指定基站的信号 的特征参数; 其中, 若所述指定基站处于休眠状态, 和 /或所述特征参数的数值小于或 等于预设的参数阈值, 则判定所述基站不会对所述指定基站造成干扰。
在该技术方案中, 通过对基站自身是否会对其他基站造成干扰的判断, 可以使基 站在需要被唤醒且判定自身不会对其他基站造成干扰时, 从休眠状态切换至工作状 态, 最大程度上降低了基站之间的干扰。 获取的指定基站的实时状态信息包括该指定 基站处于休眠 /工作状态, 获取的来自指定基站的特征参数, 可以是反映基站信号强度 和信噪比, 或者是其他反映基站信号的特征参数。
在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 在所述基站接收到所述唤醒请求之后, 还包括: 所 述基站生成并广播唤醒通知消息, 所述唤醒通知消息中至少包含所述基站的标识和所 述唤醒请求的发送方的标识, 且所述唤醒通知消息用于表明所述基站将要根据所述发
送方的请求, 从休眠状态切换至工作状态; 和 /或所述基站接收到来自其他基站的唤醒 通知消息; 其中, 若所述基站发送所述唤醒通知消息且没有接收到相应的响应消息, 则从休眠状态切换至工作状态; 若所述基站接收到所述响应消息, 则与所述响应消息 的发送方进行协商, 以确定最终从休眠状态切换至工作状态的基站; 若所述基站接收 到来自其他基站的唤醒通知消息, 则返回相应的响应消息或不响应。
在该技术方案中, 通过在基站接收到唤醒请求后, 生成并广播唤醒通知消息, 可 以对是否有接收到相同的唤醒请求并等待切换工作状态的其他基站进行确认, 在确定 没有其他基站等待切换工作状态时, 从休眠状态切换至工作状态, 而在确定有其他基 站也接收到相同的唤醒请求并切换工作状态时, 通过基站之间的协商, 确定最终从休 眠状态切换至工作状态的基站, 减少了唤醒基站的数量, 降低了基站之间的干扰, 实 现了唤醒基站的最优化方案。 具体来说, 在基站之间进行协商时, 可以选择能够为发 送唤醒请求的终端提供最优信号质量的基站, 和 /或接收到唤醒请求最多的基站等。 基 站之间的协商可以是通过回传链路的协调, 也可以是通过空中接口信息的协调。
在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 所述唤醒请求中包含所有目标基站的信息, 则当所 述唤醒请求还被发送至其他基站时, 所述小区干扰协调方法还包括: 所述基站直接与 所述其他基站进行协商, 以确定最终从休眠状态切换至工作状态的基站。
在该技术方案中, 由于基站在接收到终端发送的唤醒请求时, 并不了解是否存在 其他接收到相同唤醒请求的基站, 也不了解其他接收到唤醒请求的为哪些基站。 因 此, 通过在唤醒请求中标明其他接收到唤醒请求的基站, 使得这些基站之间可以直接 进行协商, 使协商过程更具有目的性, 有助于缩短协商过程所造成的时延。
在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 还包括: 所述基站在指定的时频资源上接收所述唤 醒请求, 且所述唤醒请求包含指定的前导序列。
在该技术方案中, 通过使基站在指定的时频资源上接收唤醒请求, 且在唤醒请求 中包含指定的前导序列, 使得终端能够精确地定位到需要唤醒的基站, 避免同时唤醒 多个基站而造成相互干扰。 在同一个时频资源上可能存在多个基站, 而在不同时频资 源上的基站的前导序列可能相同, 因此为了精确定位终端需要唤醒的基站, 可以使得 基站在指定的时频资源上接收唤醒请求, 并通过唤醒请求中的前导序列对需要唤醒的 基站进行精确定位。 当然, 本领域技术人员应该理解的是: 在通信领域中, "前导序 列" 、 "导频信息" 、 "参考符号" 等只是对相同概念的不同说法, 其实质上是相 同、 等价的。
在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 还包括: 所述基站在从工作状态切换至休眠状态之 前, 发送自身可用的时频资源和可用的前导序列集合。
在该技术方案中, 基站自身可用的时频资源和可用的前导序列集合可以对基站进 行唯一的标识, 通过使基站在从工作状态切换至休眠状态之前, 发送自身可用的时频 资源和可用的前导序列集合, 可以使得其他基站和终端根据接收到的时频资源和前导 序列集合确定进入休眠状态的基站, 在终端需要唤醒指定基站时, 只需在该指定基站 所在的时频资源上发送包含有该指定基站可用的前导序列的唤醒请求, 即可准确地对 该指定基站进行唤醒。 而其他基站也可以根据接收到的时频资源和前导序列集合确定 进入休眠状态的基站, 从而可以判定自身对该进入休眠状态的基站不再产生干扰。
在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 还包括: 所述基站在休眠状态时发送的所述导频信 息中包含自身可用的前导序列集合。
在该技术方案中, 终端在发送唤醒请求时, 是在指定的时频资源上进行发送, 通 过使基站在休眠状态时发送自身可用的前导序列集合, 使得在相同时频资源上的多个 基站之间, 可以通过可用的前导序列 (集合) 进行区分, 使得终端在唤醒基站时, 通 过对时频资源和前导序列的选择, 只对其中指定的基站进行精确地唤醒, 避免同时唤 醒过多基站 (比如使用同一时频资源的所有基站) 而造成基站间的干扰。

述基站从工作状态切换至休眠状态; 数据交互模块, 用于在所述基站处于休眠状态 时, 停止发送除导频信息之外的其他信息。
在该技术方案中, 通过使基站从工作状态切换至休眠状态后, 停止发送除导频信 息之外的其他信息, 可以避免暂时不需提供数据和 /或语音服务的基站发送的上述其他 信息对其他基站造成的干扰, 同时使得终端可以通过基站发送的导频信息搜索到处于 休眠状态的基站, 确保了终端在需要进行数据传输和 /或语音服务时能够及时唤醒休眠 的基站。
在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 所述数据处理模块还用于: 判断所述基站是否满足 预设的状态切换条件, 且在判断结果为满足的情况下, 控制所述基站从工作状态切换 至休眠状态; 其中, 所述状态切换条件包括: 小区内不存在激活状态和空闲状态的终 端; 或小区内不存在激活状态的终端; 或小区内仅存在空闲状态的终端, 且存在用于 所述空闲状态的终端进行驻留的其他小区; 或小区内存在激活状态的终端和空闲状态 的终端, 且存在用于所述激活状态的终端和所述空闲状态的终端进行驻留的其他小 区。
在该技术方案中, 通过对基站对应的小区内的终端的状况进行统计, 以确保基站 的休眠对于终端的影响尽可能小, 保证用户得到良好的使用体验。

在该技术方案中, 终端可以根据基站发送的导频信息对基站的特征参数进行测 量, 比如协议规范中的 RSRP ( Reference Signal Receiving Power, 参考信号接收功 率) 和 /或 RSRQ ( Reference Signal Receiving Quality, 参考信号接收质量) 。 终端可 以向特征参数的数值优于预设参数阈值的导频信息对应的基站发送唤醒请求, 以保证 在唤醒基站进行通信时具有良好的通信质量; 也可以根据特征参数的数值向指定数量 的导频信息对应的基站发送唤醒请求; 还可以从特征参数的数值优于预设参数阈值的 导频信息中选择指定数量的导频信息, 并向对应的基站发送唤醒请求。 若终端同时向 多个基站发送唤醒请求, 则多个基站在接收到唤醒请求时, 可以通过协商决定最终唤 醒的基站, 以确保唤醒基站数量的最少, 避免多个基站之间的干扰。 唤醒请求可以是 RACH ( Random Access Channel , 随机接入信道) 、 SRS ( Sounding Reference Signal, 侦听参考信号) 或类似的请求信息。
在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 所述数据交互模块还用于从所述终端驻留的小区获 取的所述基站可用的时频资源和可用的前导序列集合; 所述数据处理模块还用于生成 包含指定的前导序列的所述唤醒请求, 以由所述数据交互模块在所述可用的时频资源 进行发送。
在该技术方案中, 基站自身可用的时频资源和可用的前导序列集合可以对基站进 行唯一的标识, 因此通过使终端在指定基站可用的时频资源上发送包含有该指定基站 可用的前导序列集合的唤醒请求, 可以使终端精确定位到需要唤醒的基站, 避免同时 唤醒多个基站而造成相互之间的干扰。 当然, 本领域技术人员应该理解的是: 在通信 领域中, "前导序列" 、 "导频信息" 、 "参考符号" 等只是对相同概念的不同说 法, 其实质上是相同、 等价的。
在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 所述数据处理模块还用于从所述数据交互模块接收 到的来自所述基站的所述导频信息中, 解析出所述基站可用的前导序列集合。
在该技术方案中, 基站在休眠状态时发送的导频信息中包含了自身可用的前导序 列集合, 以在指定的时频资源上对自身进行唯一的标识, 使得终端在唤醒基站时, 根 据解析出的前导序列集合而只对相同时频资源中的指定基站进行唤醒, 避免同时唤醒 过多基站 (比如使用同一时频资源的所有基站) 而造成基站间的干扰。
在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 所述数据处理模块还用于从所述数据交互模块接收 到的来自所述基站的所述导频信息中获取所述基站的标识, 并从预设的表格查询到对 应于所述标识的、 所述基站可用的前导序列集合; 其中, 所述预设的表格中至少关联 存储有所述基站的标识和所述基站可用的前导序列集合。
在该技术方案中, 基站的标识可以为 PCI ( Physical Cell ID, 物理小区 ID ) , 预 设的表格中可以将每个基站的 PCI与该基站可用的前导序列集合相关联地存储, 以便 终端根据接收到的导频信息中包含的某个基站的标识, 直接查询对应的可用的前导序 列集合, 无需向其他基站询问。 其中, 上述预设的表格可以仅对应于某个或某一部分 基站, 从而有助于提升终端的查询效率; 预设的表格也可以对应于所有的基站, 从而 有助于提高终端成功查询到可用的前导序列集合的概率。

为了能够更清楚地理解本发明的上述目的、 特征和优点, 下面结合附图和具体实 施方式对本发明进行进一步的详细描述。 需要说明的是, 在不冲突的情况下, 本申请 的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互组合。
在下面的描述中阐述了很多具体细节以便于充分理解本发明, 但是, 本发明还可 以釆用其他不同于在此描述的其他方式来实施, 因此, 本发明的保护范围并不受下面 公开的具体实施例的限制。
图 1示出了根据本发明的一个实施例的小区干扰协调方法的流程图。
如图 1 所示, 根据本发明的一个实施例的小区干扰协调方法, 包括: 步骤 102, 基站在从工作状态切换至休眠状态之后, 停止发送除导频信息之外的其他信息。
在该技术方案中, 通过使基站从工作状态切换至休眠状态后, 停止发送除导频信 息之外的其他信息, 可以避免暂时不需提供数据和 /或语音服务的基站发送的上述其他 信息对其他基站造成的干扰, 同时使得终端可以通过基站发送的导频信息搜索处于到 休眠状态的基站, 确保了终端在需要进行数据传输和 /或语音服务时能够及时唤醒休眠 的基站。
具体来说, 导频信息可以是小区专用导频 ( CRS , Cell-specific Reference Signal ) , 也可以是 CRS 中对其他基站不会造成干扰或干扰较小的部分信息, 还可以 是协议中支持的其他导频信息, 比如信道状态信息参考信号 (CSI-RS , channel state information reference signal ) , 或者其中的部分信息, 但需保证对其他基站造成的干 扰不超过一定的干扰阈值。
在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 还包括: 所述基站在确定自身满足预设的状态切换 条件时, 从工作状态切换至休眠状态; 其中, 所述状态切换条件包括: 小区内不存在
激活状态和空闲状态的终端; 或小区内不存在激活状态的终端; 或小区内仅存在空闲 状态的终端, 且存在用于所述空闲状态的终端进行驻留的其他小区; 或小区内存在激 活状态的终端和空闲状态的终端, 且存在用于所述激活状态的终端和所述空闲状态的 终端进行驻留的其他小区。
在该技术方案中, 通过对基站对应的小区内的终端的状况进行统计, 以确保基站 的休眠对于终端的影响尽可能小, 保证用户得到良好的使用体验。
第一种情况下, 当基站对应的小区内不存在任何终端时, 则基站可以直接进入休 眠状态; 第二种情况下, 由于处于激活状态的终端需要基站提供数据和 /或语音服务, 而处于空闲状态的终端仅需要驻留在小区内以接收相应的基站信息, 因此, 只需要确 保小区内不存在激活状态的终端, 即可尽量降低对终端的正常通信的干扰; 第三种情 况下, 在小区内不存在激活状态的终端的情况下, 对于存在的空闲状态的终端, 若存 在可用于驻留的其他小区, 则可以尽量降低对该终端的干扰; 第四种情况下, 无论小 区内当前存在激活状态的终端或是空闲状态的终端, 只要存在可用于驻留的其他小 区, 都在一定程度上能够降低对该终端的正常通信的干扰。
具体地, 基站可以通过多种方式来确定是否存在用于某终端进行驻留的其他小 区: 比如基站可以通过终端上报的测量报告, 确定该终端周围存在着信号较好的小区 (比如信号功率大于或等于预设功率阈值, 或信号质量大于或等于预设质量阈值) , 则确定该终端可以驻留在该小区; 或者, 基站可以获取终端的位置, 从而当终端周围 存在地理上靠近的小区时, 则认为该终端可以驻留在该小区; 或者釆用其他方式。
在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 还包括: 所述基站仅在部分天线端口发送所述导频 信息。
在该技术方案中, 在休眠状态下, 基站可以正常发送导频信息; 但由于导频信息 造成的干扰较大, 因而通过在基站休眠时仅在部分天线端口发送导频信息, 可以在确 保终端能够搜索到休眠基站的情况下, 降低基站对其他未休眠小区造成的干扰。 具体 地, 比如说能够用于发送 CRS 导频信息的天线端口包括 0、 1、 2、 3 , 那么可以选择 其中的任意一个、 两个或三个, 以用于发送 CRS 导频信息, 则相对于使用所有天线 端口发送导频信息时, 上述方案显然能够有效降低对其他基站的干扰。
在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 当所述导频信息为小区专用导频时, 所述部分天线 端口的序号为 2和 /或 3。
在该技术方案中, 基站在选择部分天线端口发送导频信息时, 可以优先选择发送 的导频信息对其他未休眠小区不造成干扰或造成干扰最小的天线端口, 以减少对其他 未休眠小区造成的干扰。 当导频信息为小区专用导频时, 选择序号为 2和 /或 3的天线 端口可以有效降低导频信息对其他未休眠小区造成的干扰, 从而提高其他未休眠小区 的通信质量。
具体地, 图 2A 和图 2B 分别示出了根据本发明的实施例的扩展循环前缀系统和 扩展循环前缀系统中的资源块的结构示意图, 并在图中具体标示出了用于发送 CRS 的天线端口 (图中所示的端口 0、 端口 1、 端口 2、 端口 3 ) 的位置信息。 其中, 由于 天线端口 2和 /或 3发送 CRS 时, 对其他基站产生的干扰相对更小, 因而选用端口 2 和 /或 3的天线端口发送的 CRS可以有效地降低 CRS对其他未休眠小区造成的干扰。
在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 还包括: 所述基站接收唤醒请求, 并从休眠状态切 换至工作状态。
在该技术方案中, 基站接收到的唤醒请求可以是终端自身发起的, 如终端需要进 行数据访问、 语音呼叫等服务, 也可以是网络通过驻留小区通知终端, 由终端判断后 向休眠基站发送的唤醒请求。 通过在基站接收到唤醒请求时, 从休眠状态切换至工作 状态, 使得终端在需要基站提供数据和 /或语音服务时, 及时唤醒处于休眠状态的基 站, 确保终端通信的实时性, 提高了基站工作的性能。
在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 还包括: 所述基站一旦接收到所述唤醒请求, 就从
休眠状态切换至工作状态; 或所述基站在预设时间段内接收到来自多个终端的唤醒请 求时, 从休眠状态切换至工作状态; 和 /或所述基站在确定自身不会对其他基站造成干 扰的情况下, 从休眠状态切换至工作状态。
在该技术方案中, 基站可以在接收到唤醒请求, 即从休眠状态切换至工作状态, 以确保终端正常进行通信。 优选地, 由于终端在发送唤醒请求时, 可能同时对多个基 站进行发送, 为了避免被唤醒的基站过多而造成相互之间的干扰, 因此可以使基站在 预设时间段内接收到来自多个终端的唤醒请求时, 才从休眠状态切换至工作状态, 确 保基站被唤醒之后有足够多的业务请求, 同时由于减少了唤醒的基站数量, 避免了多 个基站之间的干扰, 也降低了基站的能耗。 更进一步地, 还可以使基站在收到唤醒请 求并确定自身不会对其他基站造成干扰时, 从休眠状态切换至工作状态, 从而提高基 站的工作性能。
在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 所述基站判断自身是否会对其他基站造成干扰的过 程包括: 所述基站获取指定基站的实时状态信息, 和 /或获取来自所述指定基站的信号 的特征参数; 其中, 若所述指定基站处于休眠状态, 和 /或所述特征参数的数值小于或 等于预设的参数阈值, 则判定所述基站不会对所述指定基站造成干扰。
在该技术方案中, 通过对基站自身是否会对其他基站造成干扰的判断, 可以使基 站在需要被唤醒且判定自身不会对其他基站造成干扰时, 从休眠状态切换至工作状 态, 最大程度上降低了基站之间的干扰。 获取的指定基站的实时状态信息包括该指定 基站处于休眠 /工作状态, 获取的来自指定基站的特征参数, 可以是反映基站信号强度 和信噪比, 或者是其他反映基站信号的特征参数。
此外, 基站还可以釆用其他的方式判断是否能够执行状态切换, 比如, 当基站一 定范围之内的基站都处于休眠状态, 则基站判定不会造成影响, 可以恢复至工作状 态; 当基站一定范围之内存在工作状态的基站, 或工作状态的基站的数量较多 (大于 或等于预设的数量阈值) , 则判定基站的状态切换将对其他基站造成影响, 不能恢复 至工作状态。
在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 在所述基站接收到所述唤醒请求之后, 还包括: 所 述基站生成并广播唤醒通知消息, 所述唤醒通知消息中至少包含所述基站的标识和所 述唤醒请求的发送方的标识, 且所述唤醒通知消息用于表明所述基站将要根据所述发 送方的请求, 从休眠状态切换至工作状态; 和 /或所述基站接收到来自其他基站的唤醒 通知消息; 其中, 若所述基站发送所述唤醒通知消息且没有接收到相应的响应消息, 则从休眠状态切换至工作状态; 若所述基站接收到所述响应消息, 则与所述响应消息 的发送方进行协商, 以确定最终从休眠状态切换至工作状态的基站; 若所述基站接收 到来自其他基站的唤醒通知消息, 则返回相应的响应消息或不响应。
在该技术方案中, 通过在基站接收到唤醒请求后, 生成并广播唤醒通知消息, 可 以对是否有接收到相同的唤醒请求并等待切换工作状态的其他基站进行确认, 在确定 没有其他基站等待切换工作状态时, 从休眠状态切换至工作状态, 而在确定有其他基 站也接收到相同的唤醒请求并切换工作状态时, 通过基站之间的协商, 确定最终从休 眠状态切换至工作状态的基站, 减少了唤醒基站的数量, 降低了基站之间的干扰, 实 现了唤醒基站的最优化方案。 具体来说, 在基站之间进行协商时, 可以选择能够为发 送唤醒请求的终端提供最优信号质量的基站, 和 /或接收到唤醒请求最多的基站等。 基 站之间的协商可以是通过回传链路的协调, 也可以是通过空中接口信息的协调。
在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 所述唤醒请求中包含所有目标基站的信息, 则当所 述唤醒请求还被发送至其他基站时, 所述小区干扰协调方法还包括: 所述基站直接与 所述其他基站进行协商, 以确定最终从休眠状态切换至工作状态的基站。
在该技术方案中, 由于基站在接收到终端发送的唤醒请求时, 并不了解是否存在 其他接收到相同唤醒请求的基站, 也不了解其他接收到唤醒请求的为哪些基站。 因 此, 通过在唤醒请求中标明其他接收到唤醒请求的基站, 使得这些基站之间可以直接
进行协商, 使协商过程更具有目的性, 有助于缩短协商过程所造成的时延。
当然, 唤醒请求中还可以包含上述基站的其他信息, 比如终端可以根据基站发送 的导频信息对基站的性能指标进行测量 (比如协议规范中的 RSRP ( Reference Signal Receiving Power , 参考信号接收功率) 和 /或 RSRQ ( Reference Signal Receiving Quality, 参考信号接收质量) ) , 并将测量的多个基站的性能指标随唤醒请求同时发 送至多个基站, 使得多个基站根据接收到唤醒请求的所有基站的性能指标确定最终需 要从休眠状态切换至工作状态的基站, 从而确保被唤醒的基站具有良好的工作性能。
在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 还包括: 所述基站在指定的时频资源上接收所述唤 醒请求, 且所述唤醒请求包含指定的前导序列。
在该技术方案中, 通过使基站在指定的时频资源上接收唤醒请求, 且在唤醒请求 中包含指定的前导序列, 使得终端能够精确地定位到需要唤醒的基站, 避免同时唤醒 多个基站而造成相互干扰。 在同一个时频资源上可能存在多个基站, 而在不同时频资 源上的基站的前导序列可能相同, 因此为了精确定位终端需要唤醒的基站, 可以使得 基站在指定的时频资源上接收唤醒请求, 并通过唤醒请求中的前导序列对需要唤醒的 基站进行精确定位。 当然, 本领域技术人员应该理解的是: 在通信领域中, "前导序 列" 、 "导频信息" 、 "参考符号" 等只是对相同概念的不同说法, 其实质上是相 同、 等价的。
在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 还包括: 所述基站在从工作状态切换至休眠状态之 前, 发送自身可用的时频资源和可用的前导序列集合。
在该技术方案中, 基站自身可用的时频资源和可用的前导序列集合可以对基站进 行唯一的标识, 通过使基站在从工作状态切换至休眠状态之前, 发送自身可用的时频 资源和可用的前导序列集合, 可以使得其他基站和终端根据接收到的时频资源和前导 序列集合确定进入休眠状态的基站, 在终端需要唤醒指定基站时, 只需在该指定基站 所在的时频资源上发送包含有该指定基站可用的前导序列的唤醒请求, 即可准确地对 该指定基站进行唤醒。 而其他基站也可以根据接收到的时频资源和前导序列集合确定 进入休眠状态的基站, 从而可以判定自身对该进入休眠状态的基站不再产生干扰。
在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 还包括: 所述基站在休眠状态时发送的所述导频信 息中包含自身可用的前导序列集合。
在该技术方案中, 终端在发送唤醒请求时, 是在指定的时频资源上进行发送, 通 过使基站在休眠状态时发送自身可用的前导序列集合, 使得在相同时频资源上的多个 基站之间, 可以通过可用的前导序列 (集合) 进行区分, 使得终端在唤醒基站时, 通 过对时频资源和前导序列的选择, 只对其中指定的基站进行精确地唤醒, 避免同时唤 醒过多基站 (比如使用同一时频资源的所有基站) 而造成基站间的干扰。
图 3示出了根据本发明的一个实施例的基站的框图。
如图 3 所示, 根据本发明的一个实施例的基站 300, 包括: 数据处理模块 302, 用于控制所述基站 300从工作状态切换至休眠状态; 数据交互模块 304 , 用于在所述 基站 300处于休眠状态时, 停止发送除导频信息之外的其他信息。
在该技术方案中, 通过使基站 300从工作状态切换至休眠状态后, 停止发送除导 频信息之外的其他信息, 可以避免暂时不需提供数据和 /或语音服务的基站 300发送的 上述其他信息对其他基站 300造成的干扰, 同时使得终端可以通过基站 300发送的导 频信息搜索处于到休眠状态的基站 300 , 确保了终端在需要进行数据传输和 /或语音服 务时能够及时唤醒休眠的基站 300。
具体来说, 导频信息可以是小区专用导频 ( CRS , Cell-specific Reference Signal ) , 也可以是 CRS 中对其他基站不会造成干扰或干扰较小的部分信息, 还可以 是协议中支持的其他导频信息, 比如信道状态信息参考信号 (CSI-RS , channel state information reference signal ) , 或者其中的部分信息, 但需保证对其他基站造成的干 扰不超过一定的干扰阈值。
在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 所述数据处理模块 302还用于: 判断所述基站 300 是否满足预设的状态切换条件, 且在判断结果为满足的情况下, 控制所述基站 300从 工作状态切换至休眠状态; 其中, 所述状态切换条件包括: 小区内不存在激活状态和 空闲状态的终端; 或小区内不存在激活状态的终端; 或小区内仅存在空闲状态的终 端, 且存在用于所述空闲状态的终端进行驻留的其他小区; 或小区内存在激活状态的 终端和空闲状态的终端, 且存在用于所述激活状态的终端和所述空闲状态的终端进行 驻留的其他小区。
在该技术方案中, 通过对基站 300对应的小区内的终端的状况进行统计, 以确保 基站 300的休眠对于终端的影响尽可能小, 保证用户得到良好的使用体验。
第一种情况下, 当基站 300对应的小区内不存在任何终端时, 则基站 300可以直 接进入休眠状态; 第二种情况下, 由于处于激活状态的终端需要基站 300提供数据和 / 或语音服务, 而处于空闲状态的终端仅需要驻留在小区内以接收相应的基站信息, 因 此, 只需要确保小区内不存在激活状态的终端, 即可尽量降低对终端的正常通信的干 扰; 第三种情况下, 在小区内不存在激活状态的终端的情况下, 对于存在的空闲状态 的终端, 若存在可用于驻留的其他小区, 则可以尽量降低对该终端的干扰; 第四种情 况下, 无论小区内当前存在激活状态的终端或是空闲状态的终端, 只要存在可用于驻 留的其他小区, 都在一定程度上能够降低对该终端的正常通信的干扰。
具体地, 基站 300可以通过多种方式来确定是否存在用于某终端进行驻留的其他 小区: 比如基站 300可以通过终端上报的测量报告, 确定该终端周围存在着信号较好 的小区 (比如信号功率大于或等于预设功率阈值, 或信号质量大于或等于预设质量阈 值) , 则确定该终端可以驻留在该小区; 或者, 基站 300可以获取终端的位置, 从而 当终端周围存在地理上靠近的小区时, 则认为该终端可以驻留在该小区; 或者釆用其 他方式。
在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 所述数据交互模块 304仅在部分天线端口发送所述 导频信息。
在该技术方案中, 在休眠状态下, 基站 300 可以正常发送导频信息; 但由于导频 信息造成的干扰较大, 因而通过在基站 300休眠时仅在部分天线端口发送导频信息, 可以在确保终端能够搜索到休眠基站 300的情况下, 降低基站 300对其他未休眠小区 造成的干扰。 具体地, 比如说能够用于发送 CRS导频信息的天线端口包括 0、 1、 2、 3 , 那么可以选择其中的任意一个、 两个或三个, 以用于发送 CRS 导频信息, 则相对 于使用所有天线端口发送导频信息时, 上述方案显然能够有效降低对其他基站的干 扰。
在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 当所述导频信息为小区专用导频时, 所述部分天线 端口的序号为 2和 /或 3。
在该技术方案中, 基站 300在选择部分天线端口发送导频信息时, 可以优先选择 发送的导频信息对其他未休眠小区不造成干扰或造成干扰最小的天线端口, 以减少对 其他未休眠小区造成的干扰。 当导频信息为小区专用导频时, 选择序号为 2和 /或 3的 天线端口可以有效降低导频信息对其他未休眠小区造成的干扰, 从而提高其他未休眠 小区的通信质量。
在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 所述数据交互模块 304还用于: 接收唤醒请求; 以 及所述数据处理模块 302还用于: 在所述数据交互模块 304接收到所述唤醒请求的情 况下, 控制所述基站 300从休眠状态切换至工作状态。
在该技术方案中, 基站 300接收到的唤醒请求可以是终端自身发起的, 如终端需 要进行数据访问、 语音呼叫等服务, 也可以是网络通过驻留小区通知终端, 由终端判 断后向休眠基站 300发送的唤醒请求。 通过在基站 300接收到唤醒请求时, 从休眠状 态切换至工作状态, 使得终端在需要基站 300提供数据和 /或语音服务时, 及时唤醒处 于休眠状态的基站 300 , 确保终端通信的实时性, 提高了基站 300工作的性能。
在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 所述数据处理模块 302在所述数据交互模块 304— 旦接收到所述唤醒请求的情况下, 就控制所述基站 300从休眠状态切换至工作状态; 或所述数据处理模块 302在所述数据交互模块 304在预设时间段内接收到来自多个终 端的唤醒请求的情况下, 控制所述基站 300从休眠状态切换至工作状态; 和 /或所述基 站 300还包括干扰确定模块, 用于确定自身是否会对其他基站 300造成干扰, 其中, 所述数据处理模块 302在所述干扰确定模块确定自身不会对其他基站 300造成干扰的 情况下, 从休眠状态切换至工作状态。
在该技术方案中, 基站 300 可以在接收到唤醒请求, 即从休眠状态切换至工作状 态, 以确保终端正常进行通信。 优选地, 由于终端在发送唤醒请求时, 可能同时对多 个基站 300进行发送, 为了避免被唤醒的基站 300过多而造成相互之间的干扰, 因此 可以使基站 300在预设时间段内接收到来自多个终端的唤醒请求时, 才从休眠状态切 换至工作状态, 确保基站 300被唤醒之后有足够多的业务请求, 同时由于减少了唤醒 的基站 300数量, 避免了多个基站 300之间的干扰, 也降低了基站 300的能耗。 更进 一步地, 还可以使基站 300在收到唤醒请求并确定自身不会对其他基站 300造成干扰 时, 从休眠状态切换至工作状态, 从而提高基站 300的工作性能。
在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 所述干扰确定模块根据所述数据交互模块 304获取 的指定基站 300的实时状态信息, 和 /或根据所述数据交互模块 304接收到的来自所述 指定基站 300 的信号的特征参数, 确定所述基站 300 是否会对其他基站 300 造成干 扰; 其中, 所述干扰确定模块在所述指定基站 300处于休眠状态, 和 /或所述特征参数 的数值小于或等于预设的参数阈值的情况下, 判定所述基站 300 不会对所述指定基站 300造成干扰。
在该技术方案中, 通过对基站 300 自身是否会对其他基站 300造成干扰的判断, 可以使基站 300在需要被唤醒且判定自身不会对其他基站 300造成干扰时, 从休眠状 态切换至工作状态, 最大程度上降低了基站 300之间的干扰。 获取的指定基站 300的 实时状态信息包括该指定基站 300处于休眠 /工作状态, 获取的来自指定基站 300的特 征参数, 可以是反映基站 300信号强度和信噪比, 或者是其他反映基站 300信号的特 征参数。
此外, 基站 300还可以釆用其他的方式判断是否能够执行状态切换, 比如, 当基 站 300—定范围之内的基站都处于休眠状态, 则基站 300判定不会造成影响, 可以恢 复至工作状态; 当基站 300—定范围之内存在工作状态的基站, 或工作状态的基站的 数量较多 (大于或等于预设的数量阈值) , 则判定基站 300 的状态切换将对其他基站 造成影响, 不能恢复至工作状态。
在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 所述数据处理模块 302 还用于: 生成唤醒通知消 息, 所述唤醒通知消息中至少包含所述基站 300 的标识和所述唤醒请求的发送方的标 识, 且所述唤醒通知消息用于表明所述基站 300将要根据所述发送方的请求, 从休眠 状态切换至工作状态; 所述数据交互模块 304还用于: 广播所述唤醒通知消息, 和 /或 接收到来自其他基站 300的唤醒通知消息; 其中, 所述数据处理模块 302在所述数据 交互模块 304发送所述唤醒通知消息且没有接收到相应的响应消息的情况下, 控制所 述基站 300从休眠状态切换至工作状态; 所述数据处理模块 302在所述数据交互模块 304接收到所述响应消息的情况下, 通过所述数据交互模块 304 与所述响应消息的发 送方进行协商, 以确定最终从休眠状态切换至工作状态的基站 300; 所述数据交互模 块 304在接收到来自其他基站 300的唤醒通知消息的情况下, 还返回所述数据处理模 块 302相应生成的响应消息或不响应。

间的协商, 确定最终从休眠状态切换至工作状态的基站 300 , 减少了唤醒基站 300 的 数量, 降低了基站 300之间的干扰, 实现了唤醒基站 300的最优化方案。 具体来说, 在基站 300之间进行协商时, 可以选择能够为发送唤醒请求的终端提供最优信号质量 的基站 300 , 和 /或接收到唤醒请求最多的基站 300等。 基站 300之间的协商可以是通 过回传链路的协调, 也可以是通过空中接口信息的协调。

在该技术方案中, 由于基站 300在接收到终端发送的唤醒请求时, 并不了解是否 存在其他接收到相同唤醒请求的基站, 也不了解其他接收到唤醒请求的为哪些基站。 因此, 通过在唤醒请求中标明其他接收到唤醒请求的基站, 使得这些基站之间可以直 接进行协商, 使协商过程更具有目的性, 有助于缩短协商过程所造成的时延。
当然, 唤醒请求中还可以包含上述基站的其他信息, 比如终端可以根据基站发送 的导频信息对基站的性能指标进行测量 (比如协议规范中的 RSRP ( Reference Signal Receiving Power , 参考信号接收功率) 和 /或 RSRQ ( Reference Signal Receiving Quality, 参考信号接收质量) ) , 并将测量的多个基站的性能指标随唤醒请求同时发 送至多个基站, 使得多个基站根据接收到唤醒请求的所有基站的性能指标确定最终需 要从休眠状态切换至工作状态的基站, 从而确保被唤醒的基站具有良好的工作性能。

在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 所述数据交互模块 304在所述基站 300处于休眠状 态时, 发送包含所述基站 300可用的前导序列集合的所述导频信息。

在该技术方案中, 终端 500所处的状态包括激活状态和空闲状态, 当终端 500处 于激活状态时, 需要基站提供数据和 /或语音服务, 则可以主动生成唤醒消息 (用户主 动发起, 或由终端 500 内的应用程序基于需求而发起)对休眠的基站进行唤醒; 当终 端 500 处于空闲状态时, 若接收到其驻留的小区发送的触发请求 (比如基于负载均衡 的网络切换需求) , 则可以生成相应的唤醒请求, 以唤醒休眠的基站。
在上述技术方案中, 优选地, 所述数据处理模块 504还用于测量接收到的所述导 频信息; 其中, 所述数据交互模块 502在测量结果表明所述导频信息的特征参数的数 值优于预设参数阈值的情况下, 向对应的基站发送所述唤醒请求; 或所述数据处理模 块 504根据测量结果表明的所有的所述导频信息对应的特征参数的数值, 从中选择指 定数量的最优的导频信息, 并由所述数据交互模块 502 向对应的基站发送所述唤醒请 求; 或所述数据处理模块 504在对应的特征参数的数值优于预设参数阈值的所有导频 信息中, 选择指定数量的最优的导频信息, 并由所述数据交互模块 502 向对应的基站 发送所述唤醒请求。

图 6示出了根据本发明的实施例的小区干扰协调方法的具体流程图。
如图 6所示, 根据本发明的实施例的小区干扰协调方法, 包括:
步骤 602 , 为了降低对其他基站造成的干扰, 基站从正常的工作状态切换为休眠 状态, 则基站停止对同步、 广播消息的发送。 但由于停止了消息的发送, 使得终端无 法搜索到该基站的存在, 无法在需要时对该基站进行唤醒操作, 因此, 基站在休眠状 态下, 仍需要发送小区导频信息, 使得终端可以通过基站发送的导频信息搜索到休眠 的基站, 确保了终端在需要进行数据传输和 /或语音服务时能够及时唤醒休眠的基站。
具体地, 基站发送的导频信息可以是小区专用导频 CRS , 也可以是 CRS 中对其 他基站不会造成干扰或干扰较小的部分信息, 还可以是协议中支持的其他导频信息 (比如 CSI-RS ) 或者其中的部分信息, 但需保证对其他基站造成的干扰不超过一定 的干扰阈值。
同时, 虽然基站是为了降低对其他基站的干扰而执行了状态切换, 但为了确保其 小区内的终端能够正常运行, 基站仍可以根据具体情况确定是否进入休眠状态。 其 中, 基站可以在自身的状态满足以下条件中任一种时, 切换至休眠状态:
1 ) 小区内不存在激活状态和空闲状态的终端。 在这种情况下, 当基站对应的小 区内不存在任何终端时, 则基站可以直接进入休眠状态。
2 ) 或小区内不存在激活状态的终端。 在这种情况下, 由于处于激活状态的终端 需要基站提供数据和 /或语音服务, 而处于空闲状态的终端仅需要驻留在小区内以接收
相应的基站信息, 因此, 只需要确保小区内不存在激活状态的终端, 即可尽量降低对 终端的正常通信的干扰。
3 ) 或小区内仅存在空闲状态的终端, 且存在用于空闲状态的终端进行驻留的其 他小区。 在这种情况下, 在小区内不存在激活状态的终端的情况下, 对于存在的空闲 状态的终端, 若存在可用于驻留的其他小区, 则可以尽量降低对该终端的干扰。
4 ) 或小区内存在激活状态的终端和空闲状态的终端, 且存在用于激活状态的终 端和空闲状态的终端进行驻留的其他小区。 在这种情况下, 无论小区内当前存在激活 状态的终端或是空闲状态的终端, 只要存在可用于驻留的其他小区, 都在一定程度上 能够降低对该终端的正常通信的干扰。
具体地, 基站可以通过多种方式来确定是否存在用于某终端进行驻留的其他小 区: 比如基站可以通过终端上报的测量报告, 确定该终端周围存在着信号较好的小区 (比如信号功率大于或等于预设功率阈值, 或信号质量大于或等于预设质量阈值) , 则确定该终端可以驻留在该小区; 或者, 基站可以获取终端的位置, 从而当终端周围 存在地理上靠近的小区时, 则认为该终端可以驻留在该小区; 或者釆用其他方式。
此外, 基站在从工作状态切换至休眠状态之前, 还可以发送自身可用的时频资源 和可用的前导序列集合, 使得其他周围的基站能够接收到这些信息, 以供终端用于唤 醒上述基站。 或者, 基站还可以在进入休眠状态之后, 发送包含有自身可用的前导序 列集合的导频信息, 使得终端能够直接获取上述信息。 由于基站自身可用的时频资源 和可用的前导序列集合可以对基站进行唯一的标识, 通过使基站在从工作状态切换至 休眠状态之前, 发送自身可用的时频资源和可用的前导序列集合, 可以使得其他基站 和终端根据接收到的时频资源和前导序列集合确定进入休眠状态的基站, 在终端需要 唤醒指定基站时, 只需在该指定基站所在的时频资源上发送包含有该指定基站可用的 前导序列的唤醒请求, 即可准确地对该指定基站进行唤醒; 而其他基站也可以根据接 收到的时频资源和前导序列集合确定进入休眠状态的基站, 从而可以判定自身对该进 入休眠状态的基站不再产生干扰; 而通过使基站在休眠状态时发送自身可用的前导序 列集合使得在指定的时频资源上对多个基站有不同的标识, 使得唤醒基站时只对其中 指定基站进行唤醒, 避免同时唤醒在同一时频资源上的所有基站而造成基站间的干 扰。
步骤 604 , 终端根据接收到的导频信息对休眠小区的性能参数进行测量, 其中测 量的性能参数可以是协议规范中的 RSRP ( Reference Signal Receiving Power, 参考信 号接收功率) 和 /或 RSRQ ( Reference Signal Receiving Quality , 参考信号接收质 量) , 也可以是能够反映小区信号强度和信噪比的其他参数。
步骤 606 , 判断终端是否有业务请求, 并需要唤醒基站, 若是, 则执行步骤 608 , 否则, 返回步骤 604; 处于激活状态的终端的业务请求是自身发起的, 比如数据 访问、 语音呼叫等, 而处于空闲状态的终端的业务请求是根据接收到其驻留小区发送 的触发请求 (比如基于负载均衡的网络切换需求) 生成的业务请求。
步骤 608 , 在判断终端有业务请求时, 终端向基站发送唤醒请求。
其中, 为了避免同时唤醒的基站过多而造成相互之间产生干扰, 同时为了降低基 站的能耗, 可以尽可能少的唤醒基站, 因此终端可以向特征参数的数值优于预设参数 阈值的导频信息对应的基站发送唤醒请求, 以保证在唤醒基站进行通信时具有良好的 通信质量。 比如, 终端可以根据步骤 604 中测量得到的基站的性能参数, 从而确定基 站的通信质量。
为了控制被唤醒基站的数量, 终端也可以对特征参数的数值进行排列, 从中选择 (比如按照从最优向最差的顺序进行选择) 指定数量的导频信息对应的基站, 并发送 唤醒请求; 还可以仅向特征参数的数值最优的基站发送唤醒请求。 其中, 唤醒请求可 以是 RACH ( Random Access Channel , 随机接入信道) 、 SRS ( Sounding Reference Signal, 侦听参考信号) 或类似的请求信息。
终端发送的唤醒请求信息中包含了指定基站的前导序列, 使得终端能够精确地定 位到需要唤醒的基站, 避免同时唤醒多个基站而造成相互干扰。 由于在同一个时频资 源上可能存在多个基站, 而在不同时频资源上的基站的前导序列可能相同, 因此为了 精确定位终端需要唤醒的基站, 可以使得基站在指定的时频资源上接收唤醒请求, 并 通过唤醒请求中的前导序列对需要唤醒的基站进行精确定位。
步骤 610 , 基站在接收到终端发送的唤醒请求之后, 判断是否切换至工作状态, 若判定切换工作状态, 则执行步骤 612 , 否则返回步骤 602。
具体地, 为了避免被唤醒的基站过多而造成相互之间的干扰, 因此基站在接收到 唤醒请求时, 需要进行一些判断步骤之后, 才能够确定是否执行状态切换。 比如, 基 站可以在接收到唤醒请求之后, 马上就执行状态切换, 也可以在确定于预设时间段内 接收到来自多个终端的唤醒请求时, 才从休眠状态切换至工作状态等, 从而确保基站 被唤醒之后有足够多的业务请求, 同时由于减少了唤醒的基站数量, 避免了多个基站 之间的干扰, 也降低了基站的能耗。
更进一步地, 基站还可以在收到唤醒请求并确定自身不会对其他基站造成干扰 时, 才从休眠状态切换至工作状态, 从而提高基站的工作性能。 比如, 基站可以根据 周围基站的实时状态进行判断, 当周围基站都处于休眠状态时, 则确定不会造成干 扰; 或基站可以对周围基站的信号进行检测, 当信号强度较弱 (小于或等于预设的参 数阈值) 时, 则确定不会造成干扰等。
步骤 612 , 基站从休眠状态切换至工作状态之后, 可以正常发送广播、 同步等各 种消息, 从而既能够与终端进行正常的连接和消息收发, 又能够告知其他接收到相同 唤醒消息的基站, 是这些基站不需要执行状态切换, 避免过多的基站被唤醒后造成相 互干扰。
在上述过程中, 通过多个接收到唤醒请求的基站之间的协商过程, 确定最终从休 眠状态切换至工作状态的一个或多个基站, 尽可能地减少了唤醒基站的数量, 降低了 基站之间的干扰, 实现了唤醒基站的最优化方案; 具体来说, 在基站之间进行协商 时, 可以选择能够为发送唤醒请求的终端提供最优信号质量的基站, 和 /或接收到唤醒 请求最多的基站。 基站之间的协商可以是通过回传链路的协调, 也可以是空中接口信 息的协调。
步骤 614 , 终端根据基站的信息接入唤醒的基站。 终端可以根据接收到的基站发 送的广播、 同步等消息或专门的唤醒通知消息, 来确定被唤醒的基站, 从而可以准确 地接入该被唤醒的基站。

以上结合附图详细说明了本发明的技术方案, 考虑到在现有技术中, 为了避免多 个小区之间相互干扰, 而使没有数据传输的小区进入休眠状态, 但是终端无法搜索到
休眠小区, 也无法在需要进行数据传输时唤醒休眠小区。 因此, 本发明提出了一种新 的小区干扰协调方案, 可以使基站在进入休眠状态时发送导频信息, 在避免对其他基 站造成干扰的同时, 使得终端能够根据接收到的导频信息, 在需要时唤醒休眠的基 站。
