Description

Method of reducing Impact of D2D In-Band Interference on Cellular Transmission
Field of the invention
The present invention relates to the technology field of wireless communication, and particularly to a method of reducing impact of D2D in-band interference on cellular transmission in base station or user equipment. Background of the invention
In LTE D2D study, it was decided that the D2D signals occupy part of uplink cellular resources (i.e., uplink carriers for FDD and uplink subframes for TDD), as shown in Figure 2 for the case of FDD. In particular, the D2D signals will occupy some periodical uplink subframes. In order to support the normal downlink cellular transmissions, the uplink cellular control signals (i.e., PUCCH) still have to be transmitted. That is to say in the D2D subframes the cellular PUCCH signals have to be multiplexed with D2D signals through FDM, as shown in Figure 2. On the other hand, according to the in-band emission interference modeling as described in 3 GPP TR38.843 V12.0.1 , "Study on LTE Device to Device Proximity Services - radio aspects", the cellular PUCCH signals suffer from the in-band interference from the D2D signals. Figure 1 shows an example of in-band emission interference model.
Since the uplink PUCCH signals (e.g., ACK/NACK, CQI feedback etc. depending on the PUCCH format) play an important role in supporting the downlink data transmission, the in-band emission interference from D2D signals to the cellular control signals has to be solved. This invention aims to address this technical problem.
Figure 1 illustrates an example of in-band interference, based on the modeling method described in 3 GPP TR38.843 V12.0.1 , "Study on LTE Device to Device Proximity Services - radio aspects" with updated parameters {W,X,Y,Z}={ 3,6,3,3 } .
In the previous meetings of RANI (before RAN1-77), there wasn't any discussion on the impact of the in-band emission interference of D2D signals on the cellular signals. According to the schedule, this technical issue will be an important topic for the upcoming RANI -77 meeting.
Up to now, the best existing solution of this problem is through usage of power control for the D2D signal, which has been proposed by the inventor in a previous Chinese patent with the patent number 201410041266.0 entitled "a power control scheme for D2D transmission".
The solution in the above mentioned patent works well in controlling the in-band emission interference to uplink cellular signals. However, it has some disadvantages. The main disadvantage is that by using power control, the D2D signal transmission powers are not uniform for different D2D users (the closer to base station, the lower the D2D signal transmission power is), thus the D2D transmission range is not uniform. This is not a desirable property for D2D transmissions. Summary of the invention
Based on the prior art described in the part background of the invention and the technical understanding of the existing technical problem, the present invention proposes a method, implemented in a base station of a wireless communication system, of reducing impact of D2D in-band interference on cellular transmission, the method comprises:
- the base station configuring the D2D resource pool as a resource pool including a first zone and a second zone, wherein the first zone is a restricted D2D resource zone and the second zone is an unrestricted D2D resource zone.
The inventor of the present invention utilizes the base station to divide the D2D resource pool into a resource pool including a first zone and a second zone, wherein the first zone is a restricted D2D resource zone and the second zone is an unrestricted D2D resource zone. Such a configuration could divide the D2D resource pool to be configured differently for different user equipments or make the user equipments to autonomously select different resources, so as to reduce impact of D2D in-band interference on cellular transmission effectively.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the number of resource blocks in the first zone is smaller than the number of resource blocks in the second zone, or the number of subframes in the first zone is smaller than the number of subframes in the second zone.
In such a manner the size of the first zone and the second zone can be configured to satisfy the requirement of different application scenarios, so as to reduce impact of D2D in-band interference on cellular transmission while the normal communication requirement is not influenced at the same time.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the method further comprises:
- dividing the D2D user equipments into at least two groups including a first group and a second group according to a predetermined rule; and
- the first group being configured to be only able to use the resources in the restricted D2D resource zone in the first zone for D2D communication while the second group being configured to be able to use the resources in the unrestricted D2D resource zone in the second zone for D2D communication or to use the resources in the first zone and in the second zone for D2D communication.
In such an embodiment, the user equipments are divided into different groups by the base station. However, the embodiment is illustrative but not limitative. Those skilled in the art should understand that the grouping manner could also be achieved in the way that the user equipments decide by themselves that to which group they belong and in order to control more accurately, the user equipments could be divided into more than two groups. After such a grouping it is optimized that different resource zones are used by different groups such that the impact of D2D in-band interference on cellular transmission is reduced.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the second group is configured to be only able to use the unrestricted D2D resource zone in the second zone for D2D communication. In such a manner, the second group is configured to be able to use the resource in the unrestricted D2D resource zone in the second zone for D2D communication and thus the receipt of the PUCCH in the corresponding base station is minimally influenced by the D2D user equipment in the second group.

Of course, the same transmitting power could make sure that the D2D user equipments have substantially the same discovery range when neighbor discovery is performing and thus it is beneficial for neighbor discovery. However, the transmitting power of a user equipment located at the center of a cell and the transmitting power of a user equipment located at the edge of a cell could also be different, for example, the transmitting power of a user equipment located at the center of a cell is smaller than the transmitting power of a user equipment located at the edge of a cell.

Detailed description of embodiments
The above described particular description of preferred embodiments will be given with reference to the drawings constituting a part of the invention. The drawings exemplarily illustrate particular embodiments, in which the invention can be practiced. The exemplary embodiments are not intended to exhaust all the embodiments of the invention. As can be appreciated, other embodiments can be possible or structural or logical modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. Thus the following detailed description is not intended to be limiting, and the scope of the invention will be defined as in the appended claims.
Fig. l illustrates a schematic diagram 100 of interference generated due to signal power leakage in the prior art. As shown in Fig. l , while the useful signal 1 is transmitted, carrier leakage will occur as denoted by the numeral 2 and thus other cellular communication is influenced. On the other hand, Fig.2 illustrates a schematic diagram 200 of D2D resource pool configuration in the prior art. As shown in Fig.2, as an important signal in the control channel the PUCCH of the cellular network must be transmitted on the uplink grant, and thus the PUCCH of the cellular network and the D2D uplink frame must be frequency multiplexed transmitted. Due to the existence of the carrier leakage as shown in Fig. l , such a configuration must cause that the interference to the receipt of the PUCCH must be uncontrollable.
This invention proposes a scheme to address the in-band interference of D2D signal to cellular signals to a large extent. The basic ideas of the invention are as follows.
If the D2D discovery transmissions use constant (and relatively large, e.g., 23dBm) transmission power, the eNB will suffer from severe in-band interference in decoding the uplink signals (e.g., PUCCH), as mentioned above. If we further consider more details of the in-band interference from D2D signals to PUCCH receiving, we can know that the major interferers of such interference are those D2D UEs that are near eNB. Motivated by this, we can arrange a special region (in time) among the configured D2D discovery subframes such that the cell center D2D users can only occupy the discovery resource within the special region, while the other D2D users can occupy any resource of the configured resource pool, or alternatively, the other D2D users preferably occupy the discovery resource outside the special region to reduce collisions with the cell center D2D UEs. Here, the special resource region is named as a restricted D2D resource zone. Fig.3 illustrates a schematic diagram 200 of D2D resource pool configuration according to the present invention. As shown in Fig.3, the inventor of the present invention utilizes the base station to divide the D2D resource pool into a resource pool including a first zone and a second zone, wherein the first zone is a restricted D2D resource zone and the second zone is an unrestricted D2D resource zone. Such a configuration could divide the D2D resource pool to configure differently for different user equipments or make the user equipment to autonomously select different resources, so as to reduce impact of D2D in-band interference on cellular transmission effectively.
Fig.3 is only illustrative and the size of each zone is not configured. Fig.4 illustrates a schematic diagram 400 of a particular embodiment of the D2D resource pool configuration in the present invention. Assume that the D2D resource pool is configured, by the base station, as a periodic successive uplink subframe and it has the following size, namely 44 PRB in frequency domain and 32 subframes in time domain, as shown in Fig.4. Those skilled in the art should understand that these parameters are only illustrative but not limitative. In the resource configuration as shown in Fig.4, in order to reduce the in-band interference of D2D signal to the receipt of PUCCH, the present invention proposes to configure a restricted zone in the D2D resource pool. The size of this restricted zone should be very limited as shown in Fig. 4.
Under the resource pool configuration shown in Fig.3, Fig.5 and Fig.6 illustrate flow charts 500, 600 of a method, implemented in a base station or a user equipment of a wireless communication system, of reducing impact of D2D in-band interference on cellular transmission.

In such a manner, the second group is configured to be able to use the resource in the unrestricted D2D resource zone in the second zone for D2D communication and thus the receipt of the PUCCH in the corresponding base station is minimally influenced by the D2D user equipment in the second group.
