  • the present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method for adjusting a channel occupancy probability, a channel occupancy probability adjustment system, and a device having a base station function.
  • 3GPP is discussing how to use unlicensed spectrum, such as the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, with the help of licensed spectrum.
  • unlicensed spectrum are currently mainly used in systems such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, radar, and medical.
  • LTE Long Term Evolution
  • CA Carrier Aggregation
  • 3GPP proposes the concept of LAA (LTE Assisted Access), which uses the help of LTE licensed spectrum to use unlicensed spectrum.
  • the unlicensed spectrum can work in two modes. One is the downlink (SDL), that is, only the downlink transmission subframe, and the other is the TDD mode, which includes the downlink subframe and the uplink subframe.
  • SDL downlink
  • TDD mode which includes the downlink subframe and the uplink subframe.
  • the carrier aggregation technology as shown in Figure 1).
  • the TDD mode can also be used by DC (Dual Connectivity) or independently.
  • LTE systems operating in unlicensed bands have the ability to provide higher spectral efficiency and greater coverage, while relying on the same core network to allow data traffic between licensed and unlicensed bands. Sew switch. For the user, this means a better broadband experience, Higher speed, better stability and mobility.
  • Wi-Fi Wireless Fidelity
  • CSMA/CD Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection
  • the basic principle of this method is Wi-Fi. Before the AP (Access Point) or the terminal sends signaling or data, it must first monitor whether other APs or other terminals are transmitting/receiving signaling or data. If so, continue to listen until it is monitored. If not, a random number is generated as the backoff time. If no signaling or data transmission is detected during this backoff time, the AP or the terminal may start transmitting signaling or data after the end of the backoff time. The process is shown in Figure 2.
  • CSMA/CD Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection
  • the LTE network has good orthogonality to ensure the interference level, the uplink and downlink transmissions between the base station and the user do not need to consider whether other base stations or other users are transmitting data. If LTE is used on an unlicensed band, it does not consider whether other devices are using unlicensed bands nearby, which will cause great interference to Wi-Fi devices. Because LTE transmits as long as there is traffic, there is no monitoring rule, then the Wi-Fi device cannot transmit when LTE has service transmission, and can only detect the channel idle state for data transmission after the LTE service transmission is completed.
  • LAA LTE assisted access
  • existing access technologies such as WiFi
  • LBT Listen Before Talk
  • LTE requires an LBT mechanism. In this way, if the LTE detects that the channel is busy on the unlicensed spectrum, the LTE cannot occupy the frequency band, and if the channel is detected to be idle, it can be occupied.
  • a LBT mechanism based on frame structure (FBE, Framed based equipment) is proposed (as shown in Figure 3), and the left slash is the channel detection time of CCA (Clear Channel Assessment).
  • CCA Car Channel Assessment
  • the CCA detection time is periodically repeated. If the channel is idle, the channel is occupied. After the channel occupancy time reaches the maximum channel occupation time, there is an idle time. At the idle time, the transmission point does not send signals and data, so as to facilitate other channels. The sending point preempts the channel. After the idle time, the CCA detection time appears again. When the channel is detected to be busy, the channel is not occupied, and the channel is detected again until the CCA detection time of the next period occurs.
  • the channel detection time also belongs to the idle time, and the idle duration must be greater than 5% of the maximum channel occupation time.
  • the Idle time plus the maximum time occupied by the channel is the period.
  • an LBT mechanism based on load-based is proposed as shown in Figure 4:
  • the LBT-based LBT mechanism is cycle-free. As long as the service arrives, the CCA detection is triggered. If the CCA detection is idle, Then, signaling or data is sent immediately; if the channel is detected to be busy, a random number N, N is taken in the range of 1 to q (ie, the length of the contention window), and the value range of q is 4 to 32.
  • the extended CCA (extended channel detection time) mechanism is adopted, that is, the random value N, N ranges from 1 to 16. If the value is 8, it means that in the next consecutive CCA detection time.
  • the channel is detected every CCA detection time. If the channel is detected to be idle, N-1, if the channel is detected to be busy, N is unchanged, and when N is 0, signaling or data is sent.
  • reference signals for RRM (Radio Resource Management) measurement, cell identification, downlink synchronization, time-frequency estimation, etc. in the LAA are implemented in two ways: one is short control signaling (short-time control signal) The requirement that this method needs to be met is that 5% of the time can be sent within 50ms, which is 2.5ms. The other is to send a non-periodic DRS (Discovery Reference Signal), because it takes 6ms to send DRS, and if it is sent when it detects that the channel is busy, it will cause more interference to other systems. Therefore, if the DRS is sent, it can only be sent when the channel is detected to be idle, then the DRS is aperiodic.
  • short control signaling short-time control signal
  • DRS Discovery Reference Signal
  • the terminal since the terminal transmits data or receives data, it must implement cell identification, downlink synchronization, time-frequency estimation, etc. according to the downlink reference signal (ie, DRS signal) of the base station in advance. Therefore, when the DRS must be idle before channel detection can be sent.
  • DRS signal downlink reference signal
  • some LAA cells perform LBT channel detection even if no data service needs to be transmitted, and transmit DRS when detecting that the channel is idle.
  • the terminal needs to consume more power in order to measure the neighboring cell, especially when the inter-frequency measurement is performed, the neighboring cell may not preempt the channel, and Send DRS, so that the terminal is in the measurement interval measurement gap When the reference signal DRS of a neighboring cell is not detected.

技术领域
本发明涉及通信技术领域,具体而言,涉及一种信道占用概率的调整方法、一种信道占用概率的调整系统和一种具有基站功能的设备。
背景技术
随着通信业务量的急剧增加,3GPP的授权频谱越来越不足以提供更高的网络容量。为了进一步提高频谱资源的利用率,3GPP正讨论如何在授权频谱的帮助下使用未授权频谱,如2.4GHz和5GHz频段。这些未授权频谱目前主要是Wi-Fi、蓝牙、雷达、医疗等系统在使用。
通常情况下,为已授权频段设计的接入技术,如LTE(Long Term Evolution,长期演进)不适合在非授权频段上使用,因为LTE这类接入技术对频谱效率和用户体验优化的要求非常高。然而,载波聚合(Carrier Aggregation,CA)功能让将LTE部署于非授权频段变为可能。3GPP提出了LAA(LTE Assisted Access,LTE辅助接入)的概念,借助LTE授权频谱的帮助来使用未授权频谱。而未授权频谱可以有两种工作方式,一种是补充下行(SDL,Supplemental Downlink),即只有下行传输子帧;另一种是TDD模式,既包含下行子帧、上行子帧。补充下行这种情况只能是借助载波聚合技术使用(如图1所示)。而TDD模式除了可以借助载波聚合技术使用外,还可以借助DC(Dual Connectivity,双连通)使用,也可以独立使用。
相比于Wi-Fi系统,工作在非授权频段的LTE系统有能力提供更高的频谱效率和更大的覆盖效果,同时基于同一个核心网让数据流量在授权频段和非授权频段之间无缝切换。对用户来说,这意味着更好的宽带体验、 更高的速率、更好的稳定性和移动便利。
现有的在非授权频谱上使用的接入技术,如Wi-Fi,具有较弱的抗干扰能力。为了避免干扰,Wi-Fi系统设计了很多干扰避免规则,如CSMA/CD(Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection,载波监听多路访问/冲突检测方法),这种方法的基本原理是Wi-Fi的AP(Access Point,接入点)或者终端在发送信令或者数据之前,要先监听检测周围是否有其他AP或者其他终端在发送/接收信令或数据,若有,则继续监听,直到监听到没有为止;若没有,则生成一个随机数作为退避时间,在这个退避时间内,如果没检测到有信令或数据传输,那么在退避时间结束之后,AP或终端可以开始发送信令或数据。该过程如图2所示。
但是,LTE网络中由于有很好的正交性保证了干扰水平,所以基站与用户的上下行传输不用考虑周围是否有其他基站或其他用户在传输数据。如果LTE在非授权频段上使用时也不考虑周围是否有其他设备在使用非授权频段,那么将对Wi-Fi设备带来极大的干扰。因为LTE只要有业务就进行传输,没有任何监听规则,那么Wi-Fi设备在LTE有业务传输时就不能传输,只能等到LTE业务传输完成,才能检测到信道空闲状态以进行数据传输。
所以LTE在使用非授权频段时,最主要的关键点之一是确保LAA(LTE assisted access,LTE辅助的接入技术)能够在公平友好的基础上和现有的接入技术(比如WiFi)共存。而传统的LTE系统中没有LBT(Listen Before Talk,先听后说)的机制来避免碰撞。为了与WiFi更好的共存,LTE需要一种LBT机制。这样,LTE在非授权频谱上如果检测到信道忙,则不能占用该频段,如果检测到信道闲,才能占用。
基于上述问题,目前,提出了一种基于帧结构的(FBE,Framed based equipment)的LBT机制(如图3所示),左斜线是CCA(Clear Channel Assessment,空闲信道评估)的信道检测时间,CCA检测时间周期性重复出现,若检测到信道空闲,则占用信道,在信道占用时间达到最大信道占用时间之后,有一个idle时间,在idle时间,发送点不发送信号和数据,以便于其它发送点抢占信道。在idle时间之后,又出现CCA检测时间,若 检测到信道忙,则不占用信道,直到下一周期的CCA检测时间出现时再次检测信道。当然,信道检测时间也属于idle时间,idle时长必须大于信道最大占用时间的5%。Idle时间加上信道占用最大时间即周期。
目前,还提出了一种基于负载的(LBE,Load based equipment)的LBT机制如下图4所示:基于LBE的LBT机制是无周期的,只要业务到达,则触发CCA检测,如果CCA检测空闲,则马上发送信令或数据;若检测到信道忙,则取一个随机数N,N的取值范围为1到q(即竞争窗口长度),q的取值范围是4到32。图4示出了q=16的情况,此时,当检测到信道空闲时,信道最大占用时间为(13/32)x q=6.5ms。在6.5ms之后,采取extended CCA(延长的信道检测时间)机制,即也是随机取值N,N的范围为1到16,若取值为8,则表示在接下来的连续的CCA检测时间中,每个CCA检测时间都要检测信道,若检测到信道空闲,则N-1,若检测到信道忙,则N不变,当N为0时,发送信令或数据。
另外,LAA中的用于RRM(Radio Resource Management,无线资源管理)测量、小区识别、下行同步、时频估计等的参考信号有两种方式实现:一种是short control signaling(短时控制信号),这种方式需要满足的要求是50ms内可以有5%的时间在发送短时控制信号,也就是2.5ms。另一种是发送非周期的DRS(Discovery Reference Signal,发现参考信号),因为发送DRS需占用6ms的时间,而如果在检测到信道忙时也发送,将给其它系统带来较大的干扰,所以如果是发送DRS,就只能在检测到信道空闲时发送,那么DRS就是非周期的。
另外,由于终端无论是发送数据还是接收数据,都必须提前根据基站的下行参考信号(即DRS信号)实现小区识别、下行同步、时频估计等,因此,当DRS必需在信道检测空闲才能发送时,一些LAA小区为了被邻小区的UE测量到,即使没有数据业务需要发送,这些LAA小区也要进行LBT信道检测,并且在检测到信道空闲时,发送DRS。但是,如果同一个频率上的LAA小区发送参考信号DRS的时间太随机的话,终端为了测量邻小区,需要消耗更多功率,特别是异频测量的时候,可能由于邻小区没有抢占到信道,不能发送DRS,而使得终端在测量间隔measurement gap 时连一个邻小区的参考信号DRS都检测不到。而且,如果LAA小区长时间不能发送参考信号DRS的话,会导致终端测量准确度较低。所以如何保证发送参考信号DRS时,能更大概率的抢占到信道呢?
因此,如何在信道检测的过程中,无论是使用基于帧结构的LBT机制还是使用基于负载的LBT机制,均可以提高发送DRS的LBT机制抢占信道的能力,使其较发送普通下行数据的LBT机制更容易抢占到信道或至少与发送普通下行数据的LBT机制具有相同的信道抢占机率,以减少终端测量参考信号DRS、进行小区识别、下行同步、时频估计时消耗的功耗,提高准确度,成为亟待解决的问题。
发明内容
本发明正是基于上述问题,提出了一种新的技术方案,使得在信道检测的过程中,无论发送DRS的LBT机制和发送普通发送下行数据的LBT机制是基于帧结构的LBT机制还是使用基于负载的LBT机制,均可以提高发送DRS的LBT机制抢占信道的能力,使其较发送普通下行数据的LBT机制更容易抢占到信道,从而使发现参考信号更容易占用信道或至少与发送普通下行数据的LBT机制具有相同的信道抢占机率,进而实现减少终端测量参考信号DRS、进行小区识别、下行同步、时频估计时消耗的功耗,提高准确度。
有鉴于此,本发明的一方面提出了一种信道占用概率的调整方法,用于具有基站功能的设备,包括:根据所述具有基站功能的设备的待发送数据的数据类型,调整所述待发送数据所对应的信道检测机制的参数信息;根据调整后的所述参数信息,调整所述待发送数据占用下行信道的概率,其中,所述待发送数据的数据类型包括:发现参考信号和/或下行数据。
在该技术方案中,通过根据具有基站功能的设备的待发送数据即该待发送数据是发现参考信号还是下行数据,调整待发送数据对应的LBT机制(即信道检测机制)的各项参数信息,使得发现参考信号和下行数据所对应的LBT机制使用相同或不同的参数信息,从而实现对待发送数据占用下行信道的概率进行调整,使得发送DRS的LBT机制抢占信道的能力得到 提高,使发送DRS信号的LBT机制较发送普通下行数据的LBT机制更容易抢占到信道,或至少与发送普通下行数据的LBT机制具有相同的信道占有机率,从而使发现参考信号更容易占用信道或至少与普通下行数据具有相同的信道占有概率,进而实现及时地发送DRS信号,以减少终端测量参考信号DRS、进行小区识别、下行同步、时频估计时消耗的功耗,提高准确度,当然,发送DRS的LBT机制和发送普通下行数据的LBT机制可以是基于帧结构的LBT机制也可以是基于负载的LBT机制。另外,具有基站功能的设备包括基站、通过通信设备(如智能手机等)实现的微小区基站等。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,所述根据所述具有基站功能的设备的待发送数据的数据类型,调整所述待发送数据所对应的信道检测机制的参数信息,具体包括:根据所述具有基站功能的设备的待发送数据的数据类型,调整以下至少一种参数或其组合:所述待发送数据所对应的信道检测机制的信道检测时间粒度、所述待发送数据所对应的信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间、当所述具有基站功能的设备使用基于负载的信道检测机制发送所述待发送数据时使用的延长的信道检测时间的竞争窗口长度、所述待发送数据所对应的信道检测机制使用的用于判断所述下行信道是否空闲的信号强度阈值。
在该技术方案中,通过调整发现参考信号和下行数据所对应的LBT机制中的各项参数信息,可以提高发送DRS的LBT机制抢占信道的能力,使其较发送普通下行数据的LBT机制更容易抢占到信道,从而使发现参考信号更容易占用信道,或至少与普通下行数据具有相同的信道占有概率进而减少终端测量参考信号DRS、进行小区识别、下行同步、时频估计时消耗的功耗,提高准确度。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,所述信道检测机制包括:第一信道检测机制和第二信道检测机制,其中,当发送所述发现参考信号时,使用所述第一信道检测机制检测所述下行信道,当发送所述下行数据时,使用所述第二信道检测机制检测所述下行信道。
在该技术方案中,发送发现参考信号和发送下行数据时,分别使用第 一信道检测机制和第二信道检测机制检测下行信道,而第一信道检测机制和第二信道检测机制可以相同也可以不同,例如:可以都是基于帧结构(或基于负载)的LBT机制,但是其中的参数不一样,也可以分别为基于帧结构的LBT机制和基于负载的LBT机制。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,通过以下过程调整所述待发送数据所对应的信道检测机制的参数信息,以使所述发现参考信号占用所述下行信道的概率大于或等于所述第二信道检测机制占用所述下行信道的概率:将所述第一信道检测机制的第一信道检测时间粒度调整为小于或等于所述第二信道检测机制的第二信道检测时间粒度;和/或将所述第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间调整为小于或等于所述第二信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间;和/或将所述第一信道检测机制使用的延长的信道检测时间的第一竞争窗口长度调整为小于或等于所述第二信道检测机制使用的延长的信道检测时间的第二竞争窗口长度;和/或将所述第一信道检测机制使用的用于判断所述下行信道是否空闲的第一信号强度阈值调整为大于或等于所述第二信道检测机制使用的用于判断所述下行信道是否空闲的第二信号强度阈值。
在该技术方案中,当具有基站功能的设备发送发现参考信号或/或下行数据,通过按照上述方式对第一信道检测机制和第二信道检测机制的各项参数信息进行调整,可以确保能够有力地提高发送DRS的LBT机制抢占信道的能力,使其较发送普通下行数据的LBT机制更容易抢占到信道,或至少与发送普通下行数据的LBT机制具有相同的信道占有机率,以减少终端测量参考信号DRS、进行小区识别、下行同步、时频估计时消耗的功耗,提高准确度。其具体过程为:将发送DRS的LBT机制的CCA检测时间长度(即粒度)调整为小于或等于发送数据的LBT机制的CCA检测时间长度。例如:当发送数据的LBT机制中CCA检测时间长度为20us(该检测时间长度即为非授权频谱规则中规定的CCA的最小检测时间粒度)时,发送参考信号DRS的LBT机制中的CCA检测时间长度可以是10us,或者当发送数据的LBT机制中CCA检测时间长度是30us,发送参考信号DRS的LBT机制中CCA检测时间长度可以为20us;
将发送参考信号DRS的LBT机制的最大信道占用时间调整为小于或等于发送数据的LBT机制的最大信道占用时间,例如:当发送数据的LBT机制中最大信道占用时间是4ms,发送参考信号DRS的LBT机制中最大信道占用时间可以是3ms;
将发送参考信号DRS的LBT机制的延长的信道检测时间的竞争窗口长度(即q值)调整为小于发送数据的LBT机制的延长的信道检测时间的竞争窗口长度(即q值),从而使得当LBT机制是基于LBE时,随机数N取较小值的概率高,例如:发送参考信号DRS的LBT机制中q值取4时,发送数据的LBT机制中的q值可以取16到32,这样发送参考信号DRS的LBT机制中随机数N从1~q中取时,其值较小,就意味着在较少个CCA检测时间检测到信道空闲时,就能发送DRS了;
将发送参考信号DRS的LBT机制的CCA信道检测门限(信号强度阈值)调整为大于或等于发送数据LBT机制采用的CCA信道检测门限(信号强度阈值),即在发送DRS时,只要信道干扰不是太大,就判断信道下行空闲就能发送DRS,而在发送下行数据时,只有在信道干扰很小时,才能判断信道下行空闲,才能发送下行数据。当然,若为了使发送普通下行数据的LBT机制较发送DRS的LBT机制更容易抢占到信道,则可以按照与上述控制方式完全相反的方式调整发送普通下行数据的LBT机制和发送DRS的LBT机制中的各项参数信息。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,还包括:在帧结构中为所述发现参考信号设置第一发送周期;在所述第一发送周期中为所述发现参考信号设置至少一个第二发送周期;在至少一个所述第二发送周期中的每个所述第二发送周期中的相同位置均设置一个发送窗口,并按顺序依次在每个所述第二发送周期中的发送窗口中设置用于连续检测所述下行信道是否空闲的至少一个信道检测时间,用于检测所述下行信道是否空闲。
在该技术方案中,通过在帧结构中为发现参考信号设置一个较大的第一发送周期,并在第一发送周期中设置至少一个较小的第二发送周期,且在每个第二发送周期中的相同位置均设置一个发送窗口,便于在每个发送窗口中设置可以连续检测下行信道是否空闲的至少一个信道检测时间并在 至少一个信道检测时间中的每个信道检测时间上设置CCA,从而可以在每个信道检测时间内使用该CCA检测下行信道是否空闲,以在空闲时发送DRS信号。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,所述第一发送周期大于第一预设发送周期,其中,所述第一预设发送周期等于所述具有基站功能的设备所在的服务小区中的小小区关闭时发送所述发现参考信号的最小周期值,且所述第一发送周期等于所述小小区关闭时发送所述发现参考信号时使用的除所述最小周期值之外的其他周期值;所述第二发送周期小于第二预设发送周期,其中,所述第二预设发送周期等于异频测量中测量间隔出现的最大周期值,所述第二发送周期等于异频测量中除所述最大周期值之外的所述测量间隔出现的其他周期值,且所述发送窗口的长度等于异频测量中所述测量间隔的长度。
在该技术方案中,通过使第一发送周期等于小小区关闭时,发送发现参考信号时使用的除最小周期值(如40ms)之外的其他周期值(如80ms、160ms),且使第一发送周期大于第一预设发送周期,可以确保第一发送周期为传统DRS发送周期中较大的值,比如160ms,另外,通过使第二发送周期等于异频测量中除最大周期值(如80ms)之外的测量间隔出现的其他周期值,且使第二发送周期小于第二预设发送周期,可以确保第二发送周期为异频测量中测量间隔出现的周期中的较小值(比如40ms),这样便于更频繁地检测下行信道是否空闲,以在检测到空闲时,可以及时地发送DRS,同时,也可以提高信道测量结果的准确度,并进一步提高DRS占用信道的能力,防止发送DRS时因为下行信道检测不频繁,而导致错失发送DRS的时机。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,还包括:当在任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的任一信道检测时间内检测到所述下行信道空闲、且所述任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的剩余时间大于或等于所述第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间和/或所述第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间与终端接收机频点切换时间之和时,在所述任一第二发送周期的发送窗口的剩余时间内发送所述发现参考信号,其中,所述任一第二发送周期为所述第一 发送周期中的任一第二发送周期。
在该技术方案中,当任一信道检测时间内的CCA检测到下行信道空闲,且发送窗口中的剩余时间大于或等于第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间和/或第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间与终端接收机频点切换时间之和时,说明发送窗口中的剩余时间足够完整地发送一个DRS信号,则可以在任一第二发送周期的发送窗口的剩余时间内发送一个发现参考信号,反之,当任一信道检测时间内的CCA检测到下行信道空闲,但发送窗口中的剩余时间小于第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间和/或第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间与终端接收机频点切换时间之和时,说明发送窗口中的剩余时间不足够完整地发送一个DRS信号,则不在任一第二发送周期的发送窗口的剩余时间内发送发现参考信号。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,还包括:在所述任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的至少一个信道检测时间内仍未检测到所述下行信道空闲时,且在满足以下条件的情况下,停止在所述任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中设置其他信道检测时间,并在与所述任一第二发送周期相邻的其他第二发送周期的发送窗口中设置至少一个信道检测时间:所述第一发送周期中设置有至少一个第二发送周期,且所述任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的剩余时间小于所述第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间;和/或所述第一发送周期中设置有至少一个第二发送周期,且所述任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的剩余时间小于所述第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间与终端接收机频点切换时间之和。
在该技术方案中,当该任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的至少一个信道检测时间内仍未检测到下行信道空闲时,若任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的剩余时间小于第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间和/或第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间与终端接收机频点切换时间之和,则就可以不用在该任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中设置其他信道检测时间,即不用做CCA检测了,因为即使后面的CCA在其他信道检测时间内检测到信道空闲,也不能发送完整的DRS了,而可以按顺序依次在与该任一第二发送周期相邻的其他第二发送周期的发送窗口中设置至少一个信道检测时 间,以在该至少一个信道检测时间内使用CCA检测下行信道是否空闲。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,还包括:当在所述任一第二发送周期中的发送窗口内已发送所述发现参考信号时,在所述第一发送周期中的剩余时间内释放所述下行信道,停止发送所述发现参考信号,且当所述第一发送周期中设置有至少一个第二发送周期时,停止在所述第一发送周期中的剩余时间内的剩余其他第二发送周期的发送窗口中设置用于检测所述下行信道是否空闲,用于发送所述发现参考信号的信道检测时间。
在该技术方案中,当在任一第二发送周期中的发送窗口内已发送发现参考信号时,则可以在第一发送周期中的剩余时间内释放下行信道,以不再发送发现参考信号,并停止在剩余其他第二发送周期的发送窗口中设置用于检测下行信道是否空闲以发送发现参考信号的信道检测时间,这样,可以保证第一发送周期内,最多发送一次DRS,避免DRS信号发送过于频繁,占用下行信道时间过长而影响下行数据的正常发送。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,还包括:当在任一第二发送周期的任一信道检测时间内检测到所述下行信道空闲时,判断所述任一信道检测时间是否为所述任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的第N个信道检测时间之前的信道检测时间;在判断结果为是时,不发送所述发现参考信号,为终端预留终端接收机频点切换时间,否则,发送所述发现参考信号,其中,所述终端接收机频点切换时间包括:(N-1)个所述信道检测时间的时间之和,其中,N为正整数,所述任一第二发送周期为所述第一发送周期中的任一第二发送周期。
在该技术方案中,当在任一第二发送周期的任一信道检测时间内检测到下行信道空闲时,若该任一信道检测时间是该任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的第N个信道检测时间之前的信道检测时间,则不发送发现参考信号,这样,便于将第N个信道检测时间之前的信道检测时间预留给终端以作为终端接收机频点切换时间;当然,若该任一信道检测时间是第N个信道检测时间或第N个信道检测时间之后的信道检测时间,则可以说明已经为终端预留终端接收机频点切换时间了,则可以立即发送发现参考信号。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,当在任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的 任一信道检测时间内检测所述下行信道是否空闲时,若在所述任一第二发送周期的发送窗口内需同时发送所述发现参考信号和所述下行数据,则所述调整所述待发送数据所对应的信道检测机制的参数信息的过程具体包括:将所述第一信道检测时间粒度调整为小于或等于所述第二信道检测时间粒度;和/或将所述第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间调整为小于或等于所述第二信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间;和/或将所述第一竞争窗口数目调整为小于或等于所述第二竞争窗口数目;和/或将所述第一信号强度阈值调整为大于或等于所述第二信号强度阈值;或所述调整所述待发送数据所对应的信道检测机制的参数信息的过程具体还包括:将所述第二信道检测时间粒度调整为大于或等于所述第一信道检测时间粒度;和/或将所述第二信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间调整为大于或等于所述第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间;和/或将所述第二竞争窗口数目调整为大于或等于所述第一竞争窗口数目;和/或将所述第二信号强度阈值调整为小于或等于所述第一信号强度阈值。
在该技术方案中,当在任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的任一信道检测时间内检测下行信道是否空闲时,若需要在该任一第二发送周期的发送窗口内同时发送发现参考信号和下行数据,则可以将第一信道检测机制或第二信道检测机制的参数信息进行调整,使第一信道检测机制和第二信道检测机制都使用第二信道检测机制的参数信息、或第一信道检测机制和第二信道检测机制都使用第一信道检测机制的参数信息,从而使得第一信道检测机制与第二信道检测机制具有相等的下行信道抢占机率,以使第一信道检测机制与第二信道检测机制公平竞争下行信道;当然,还可以将第一信道检测机制和第二信道检测机制调整为分别使用各自的参数信息,以使得发送DRS的LBT机制具有更高的抢占信道的能力,使其较发送普通下行数据的LBT机制更容易抢占到信道,从而使发现参考信号更容易占用信道,进而减少终端测量参考信号DRS、进行小区识别、下行同步、时频估计时消耗的功耗,提高准确度。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,所述调整方法适用于LTE系统上的非授权频段上的下行信道;以及所述信道检测机制包括先听后说机制。
本发明的另一方面提出了一种信道占用概率的调整系统,包括:第一调整单元,根据所述具有基站功能的设备的待发送数据的数据类型,调整所述待发送数据所对应的信道检测机制的参数信息;第二调整单元,根据调整后的所述参数信息,调整所述待发送数据占用下行信道的概率,其中,所述待发送数据的数据类型包括:发现参考信号和/或下行数据。
在该技术方案中,通过根据具有基站功能的设备的待发送数据即该待发送数据是发现参考信号还是下行数据,调整待发送数据对应的LBT机制(即信道检测机制)的参数信息,使得发现参考信号和下行数据所对应的LBT机制使用相同或不同的各项参数信息,从而实现对待发送数据占用下行信道的概率进行调整,使得发送DRS的LBT机制抢占信道的能力得到提高,使发送DRS信号的LBT机制较发送普通下行数据的LBT机制更容易抢占到信道,或至少与发送普通下行数据的LBT机制具有相同的信道抢占机率,从而使发现参考信号更容易占用信道,或至少与普通下行数据具有相同的信道占有概率,进而实现及时地发送DRS信号,以减少终端测量参考信号DRS、进行小区识别、下行同步、时频估计时消耗的功耗,提高准确度,当然,发送DRS的LBT机制和发送普通下行数据的LBT机制可以是基于帧结构的LBT机制也可以是基于负载的LBT机制。另外,具有基站功能的设备包括基站、通过通信设备(如智能手机等)实现的微小区基站等。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,所述第一调整单元具体用于:根据所述具有基站功能的设备的待发送数据的数据类型,调整以下至少一种参数或其组合:所述待发送数据所对应的信道检测机制的信道检测时间粒度、所述待发送数据所对应的信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间、当所述具有基站功能的设备使用基于负载的信道检测机制发送所述待发送数据时使用的延长的信道检测时间的竞争窗口长度、所述待发送数据所对应的信道检测机制使用的用于判断所述下行信道是否空闲的信号强度阈值。
在该技术方案中,通过调整发现参考信号和下行数据所对应的LBT机制中的各项参数信息,可以提高发送DRS的LBT机制抢占信道的能力,使其较发送普通下行数据的LBT机制更容易抢占到信道,从而使发现参考 信号更容易占用信道,或至少与普通下行数据具有相同的信道占有概率,进而减少终端测量参考信号DRS、进行小区识别、下行同步、时频估计时消耗的功耗,提高准确度。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,所述信道检测机制包括:第一信道检测机制和第二信道检测机制,其中,当发送所述发现参考信号时,使用所述第一信道检测机制检测所述下行信道,当发送所述下行数据时,使用所述第二信道检测机制检测所述下行信道。
在该技术方案中,发送发现参考信号和发送下行数据时,分别使用第一信道检测机制和第二信道检测机制检测下行信道,而第一信道检测机制和第二信道检测机制可以相同也可以不同,例如:可以都是基于帧结构(或基于负载)的LBT机制,但是其中的参数不一样,也可以分别为基于帧结构的LBT机制和基于负载的LBT机制。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,所述第一调整单元具体还用于:通过以下过程调整所述待发送数据所对应的信道检测机制的参数信息,以使所述发现参考信号占用所述下行信道的概率大于或等于所述第二信道检测机制占用所述下行信道的概率:将所述第一信道检测机制的第一信道检测时间粒度调整为小于或等于所述第二信道检测机制的第二信道检测时间粒度;和/或将所述第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间调整为小于或等于所述第二信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间;和/或将所述第一信道检测机制使用的延长的信道检测时间的第一竞争窗口长度调整为小于或等于所述第二信道检测机制使用的延长的信道检测时间的第二竞争窗口长度;和/或将所述第一信道检测机制使用的用于判断所述下行信道是否空闲的第一信号强度阈值调整为大于或等于所述第二信道检测机制使用的用于判断所述下行信道是否空闲的第二信号强度阈值。
在该技术方案中,当具有基站功能的设备发送发现参考信号或/或下行数据,通过按照上述方式对第一信道检测机制和第二信道检测机制的各项参数信息进行调整,可以确保能够有力地提高发送DRS的LBT机制抢占信道的能力,使其较发送普通下行数据的LBT机制更容易抢占到信道,或至少与发送普通下行数据的LBT机制具有相同的信道抢占机率,以减少终 端测量参考信号DRS、进行小区识别、下行同步、时频估计时消耗的功耗,提高准确度。其具体过程为:将发送DRS的LBT机制的CCA检测时间长度(即粒度)调整为小于或等于发送数据的LBT机制的CCA检测时间长度。例如:当发送数据的LBT机制中CCA检测时间长度为20us(该检测时间长度即为非授权频谱规则中规定的CCA的最小检测时间粒度)时,发送参考信号DRS的LBT机制中的CCA检测时间长度可以是10us,或者当发送数据的LBT机制中CCA检测时间长度是30us,发送参考信号DRS的LBT机制中CCA检测时间长度可以为20us;
将发送参考信号DRS的LBT机制的最大信道占用时间调整为小于或等于发送数据的LBT机制的最大信道占用时间,例如:当发送数据的LBT机制中最大信道占用时间是4ms,发送参考信号DRS的LBT机制中最大信道占用时间可以是3ms;
将发送参考信号DRS的LBT机制的延长的信道检测时间的竞争窗口长度(即q值)调整为小于发送数据的LBT机制的延长的信道检测时间的竞争窗口长度(即q值),从而使得当LBT机制是基于LBE时,随机数N取较小值的概率高,例如:发送参考信号DRS的LBT机制中q值取4时,发送数据的LBT机制中的q值可以取16到32,这样发送参考信号DRS的LBT机制中随机数N从1~q中取时,其值较小,就意味着在较少个CCA检测时间检测到信道空闲时,就能发送DRS了;
将发送参考信号DRS的LBT机制的CCA信道检测门限(信号强度阈值)调整为大于或等于发送数据LBT机制采用的CCA信道检测门限(信号强度阈值),即在发送DRS时,只要信道干扰不是太大,就判断信道下行空闲就能发送DRS,而在发送下行数据时,只有在信道干扰很小时,才能判断信道下行空闲,才能发送下行数据。当然,若为了使发送普通下行数据的LBT机制较发送DRS的LBT机制更容易抢占到信道,则可以按照与上述控制方式完全相反的方式调整发送普通下行数据的LBT机制和发送DRS的LBT机制中的各项参数信息。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,还包括:第一设置单元,在帧结构中为所述发现参考信号设置第一发送周期;第二设置单元,在所述第一发送周 期中为所述发现参考信号设置至少一个第二发送周期;第三设置单元,在至少一个所述第二发送周期中的每个所述第二发送周期中的相同位置均设置一个发送窗口,并按顺序依次在每个所述第二发送周期中的发送窗口中设置用于连续检测所述下行信道是否空闲的至少一个信道检测时间,用于检测所述下行信道是否空闲。
在该技术方案中,通过在帧结构中为发现参考信号设置一个较大的第一发送周期,并在第一发送周期中设置至少一个较小的第二发送周期,且在每个第二发送周期中的相同位置均设置一个发送窗口,便于在每个发送窗口中设置可以连续检测下行信道是否空闲的至少一个信道检测时间并在至少一个信道检测时间中的每个信道检测时间上设置CCA,从而可以在每个信道检测时间内使用该CCA检测下行信道是否空闲,以在空闲时发送DRS信号。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,所述第一发送周期大于第一预设发送周期,其中,所述第一预设发送周期等于所述具有基站功能的设备所在的服务小区中的小小区关闭时发送所述发现参考信号的最小周期值,且所述第一发送周期等于所述小小区关闭时发送所述发现参考信号时使用的除所述最小周期值之外的其他周期值;所述第二发送周期小于第二预设发送周期,其中,所述第二预设发送周期等于异频测量中测量间隔出现的最大周期值,所述第二发送周期等于异频测量中除所述最大周期值之外的所述测量间隔出现的其他周期值,且所述发送窗口的长度等于异频测量中所述测量间隔的长度。
在该技术方案中,通过使第一发送周期等于小小区关闭时,发送发现参考信号时使用的除最小周期值(如40ms)之外的其他周期值(如80ms、160ms),且使第一发送周期大于第一预设发送周期,可以确保第一发送周期为传统DRS发送周期中较大的值,比如160ms,另外,通过使第二发送周期等于异频测量中除最大周期值(如80ms)之外的测量间隔出现的其他周期值,且使第二发送周期小于第二预设发送周期,可以确保第二发送周期为异频测量中测量间隔出现的周期中的较小值(比如40ms),这样便于更频繁地检测下行信道是否空闲,以在检测到空闲时,可以及时地发送 DRS,同时,也可以提高信道测量结果的准确度,并进一步提高DRS占用信道的能力,防止发送DRS时因为下行信道检测不频繁,而导致错失发送DRS的时机。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,还包括:第一发送单元,当在任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的任一信道检测时间内检测到所述下行信道空闲、且所述任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的剩余时间大于或等于所述第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间和/或所述第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间与终端接收机频点切换时间之和时,在所述任一第二发送周期的发送窗口的剩余时间内发送所述发现参考信号,其中,所述任一第二发送周期为所述第一发送周期中的任一第二发送周期。
在该技术方案中,当任一信道检测时间内的CCA检测到下行信道空闲,且发送窗口中的剩余时间大于或等于第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间和/或第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间与终端接收机频点切换时间之和时,说明发送窗口中的剩余时间足够完整地发送一个DRS信号,则可以在任一第二发送周期的发送窗口的剩余时间内发送一个发现参考信号,反之,当任一信道检测时间内的CCA检测到下行信道空闲,但发送窗口中的剩余时间小于第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间和/或第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间与终端接收机频点切换时间之和时,说明发送窗口中的剩余时间不足够完整地发送一个DRS信号,则不在任一第二发送周期的发送窗口的剩余时间内发送发现参考信号。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,还包括:第一处理单元,在所述任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的至少一个信道检测时间内仍未检测到所述下行信道空闲时,且在满足以下条件的情况下,停止在所述任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中设置其他信道检测时间,并在与所述任一第二发送周期相邻的其他第二发送周期的发送窗口中设置至少一个信道检测时间:所述第一发送周期中设置有至少一个第二发送周期,且所述任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的剩余时间小于所述第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间;和/或所述第一发送周期中设置有至少一个第二发送周期,且所述任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的剩余时间小于所述第一信道检测机制的最大信道占 用时间与终端接收机频点切换时间之和。
在该技术方案中,当该任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的至少一个信道检测时间内仍未检测到下行信道空闲时,若任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的剩余时间小于第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间和/或第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间与终端接收机频点切换时间之和,则就可以不用在该任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中设置其他信道检测时间,即不用做CCA检测了,因为即使后面的CCA在其他信道检测时间内检测到信道空闲,也不能发送完整的DRS了,而可以按顺序依次在与该任一第二发送周期相邻的其他第二发送周期的发送窗口中设置至少一个信道检测时间,以在该至少一个信道检测时间内使用CCA检测下行信道是否空闲。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,还包括:第二处理单元,当在所述任一第二发送周期中的发送窗口内已发送所述发现参考信号时,在所述第一发送周期中的剩余时间内释放所述下行信道,停止发送所述发现参考信号,且当所述第一发送周期中设置有至少一个第二发送周期时,停止在所述第一发送周期中的剩余时间内的剩余其他第二发送周期的发送窗口中设置用于检测所述下行信道是否空闲,用于发送所述发现参考信号的信道检测时间。
在该技术方案中,当在任一第二发送周期中的发送窗口内已发送发现参考信号时,则可以在第一发送周期中的剩余时间内释放下行信道,以不再发送发现参考信号,并停止在剩余其他第二发送周期的发送窗口中设置用于检测下行信道是否空闲以发送发现参考信号的信道检测时间,这样,可以保证第一发送周期内,最多发送一次DRS,避免DRS信号发送过于频繁,占用下行信道时间过长而影响下行数据的正常发送。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,还包括:判断单元,当在任一第二发送周期的任一信道检测时间内检测到所述下行信道空闲时,判断所述任一信道检测时间是否为所述任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的第N个信道检测时间之前的信道检测时间;第二发送单元,在判断结果为是时,不发送所述发现参考信号,为终端预留终端接收机频点切换时间,否则,发送所述发现参考信号,其中,所述终端接收机频点切换时间包括:(N-1)个所述 信道检测时间的时间之和,其中,N为正整数,所述任一第二发送周期为所述第一发送周期中的任一第二发送周期。
在该技术方案中,当在任一第二发送周期的任一信道检测时间内检测到下行信道空闲时,若该任一信道检测时间是该任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的第N个信道检测时间之前的信道检测时间,则不发送发现参考信号,这样,便于将第N个信道检测时间之前的信道检测时间预留给终端以作为终端接收机频点切换时间;当然,若该任一信道检测时间是第N个信道检测时间或第N个信道检测时间之后的信道检测时间,则可以说明已经为终端预留终端接收机频点切换时间了,则可以立即发送发现参考信号。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,所述第一调整单元还用于:当在任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的任一信道检测时间内检测所述下行信道是否空闲时,若在所述任一第二发送周期的发送窗口内需同时发送所述发现参考信号和所述下行数据,将所述第一信道检测时间粒度调整为小于或等于所述第二信道检测时间粒度;和/或将所述第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间调整为小于或等于所述第二信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间;和/或将所述第一竞争窗口数目调整为小于或等于所述第二竞争窗口数目;和/或将所述第一信号强度阈值调整为大于或等于所述第二信号强度阈值;或所述第一调整单元还用于:将所述第二信道检测时间粒度调整为大于或等于所述第一信道检测时间粒度;和/或将所述第二信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间调整为大于或等于所述第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间;和/或将所述第二竞争窗口数目调整为大于或等于所述第一竞争窗口数目;和/或将所述第二信号强度阈值调整为小于或等于所述第一信号强度阈值。
在该技术方案中,当在任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的任一信道检测时间内检测下行信道是否空闲时,若需要在该任一第二发送周期的发送窗口内同时发送发现参考信号和下行数据,则可以将第一信道检测机制或第二信道检测机制的参数信息进行调整,使第一信道检测机制和第二信道检测机制都使用第二信道检测机制的参数信息、或第一信道检测机制和第二信道检测机制都使用第一信道检测机制的参数信息,从而使得第一信道检测机制与第二信道检测机制具有相等的下行信道抢占机率,以使第一信 道检测机制与第二信道检测机制公平竞争下行信道;当然,还可以将第一信道检测机制和第二信道检测机制调整为分别使用各自的参数信息,以使得发送DRS的LBT机制具有更高的抢占信道的能力,使其较发送普通下行数据的LBT机制更容易抢占到信道,从而使发现参考信号更容易占用信道,进而减少终端测量参考信号DRS、进行小区识别、下行同步、时频估计时消耗的功耗,提高准确度。

具体实施方式
为了可以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,本发明还可以采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5示出了根据本发明的一个实施例的信道占用概率的调整方法的流程示意图。
如图5所示,示出了本发明的一个实施例的信道占用概率的调整方法,包括:步骤502,根据所述具有基站功能的设备的待发送数据的数据类型,调整所述待发送数据所对应的信道检测机制的参数信息;步骤504,根据调整后的所述参数信息,调整所述待发送数据占用下行信道的概率,其中,所述待发送数据的数据类型包括:发现参考信号和/或下行数据。
在该技术方案中,通过根据具有基站功能的设备的待发送数据即该待发送数据是发现参考信号还是下行数据,调整待发送数据对应的LBT机制(即信道检测机制)的各项参数信息,使得发现参考信号和下行数据所对应的LBT机制使用相同或不同的参数信息,从而实现对待发送数据占用下行信道的概率进行调整,使得发送DRS的LBT机制抢占信道的能力得到 提高,使发送DRS信号的LBT机制较发送普通下行数据的LBT机制更容易抢占到信道,或至少与发送普通下行数据的LBT机制具有相同的信道抢占机率,从而使发现参考信号更容易占用信道或至少与普通下行数据具有相同的信道占有概率,进而实现及时地发送DRS信号,以减少终端测量参考信号DRS、进行小区识别、下行同步、时频估计时消耗的功耗,提高准确度,当然,发送DRS的LBT机制和发送普通下行数据的LBT机制可以是基于帧结构的LBT机制也可以是基于负载的LBT机制。另外,具有基站功能的设备包括基站、通过通信设备(如智能手机等)实现的微小区基站等。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,所述根据所述具有基站功能的设备的待发送数据的数据类型,调整所述待发送数据所对应的信道检测机制的参数信息,具体包括:根据所述具有基站功能的设备的待发送数据的数据类型,调整以下至少一种参数或其组合:所述待发送数据所对应的信道检测机制的信道检测时间粒度、所述待发送数据所对应的信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间、当所述具有基站功能的设备使用基于负载的信道检测机制发送所述待发送数据时使用的延长的信道检测时间的竞争窗口长度、所述待发送数据所对应的信道检测机制使用的用于判断所述下行信道是否空闲的信号强度阈值。
在该技术方案中,通过调整发现参考信号和下行数据所对应的LBT机制中的各项参数信息,可以提高发送DRS的LBT机制抢占信道的能力,使其较发送普通下行数据的LBT机制更容易抢占到信道,从而使发现参考信号更容易占用信道,或至少与普通下行数据具有相同的信道占有概率,进而减少终端测量参考信号DRS、进行小区识别、下行同步、时频估计时消耗的功耗,提高准确度。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,所述信道检测机制包括:第一信道检测机制和第二信道检测机制,其中,当发送所述发现参考信号时,使用所述第一信道检测机制检测所述下行信道,当发送所述下行数据时,使用所述第二信道检测机制检测所述下行信道。
在该技术方案中,发送发现参考信号和发送下行数据时,分别使用第 一信道检测机制和第二信道检测机制检测下行信道,而第一信道检测机制和第二信道检测机制可以相同也可以不同,例如:可以都是基于帧结构(或基于负载)的LBT机制,但是其中的参数不一样,也可以分别为基于帧结构的LBT机制和基于负载的LBT机制。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,通过以下过程调整所述待发送数据所对应的信道检测机制的参数信息,以使所述发现参考信号占用所述下行信道的概率大于或等于所述第二信道检测机制占用所述下行信道的概率:将所述第一信道检测机制的第一信道检测时间粒度调整为小于或等于所述第二信道检测机制的第二信道检测时间粒度;和/或将所述第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间调整为小于或等于所述第二信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间;和/或将所述第一信道检测机制使用的延长的信道检测时间的第一竞争窗口长度调整为小于或等于所述第二信道检测机制使用的延长的信道检测时间的第二竞争窗口长度;和/或将所述第一信道检测机制使用的用于判断所述下行信道是否空闲的第一信号强度阈值调整为大于或等于所述第二信道检测机制使用的用于判断所述下行信道是否空闲的第二信号强度阈值。
在该技术方案中,当具有基站功能的设备发送发现参考信号或/或下行数据,通过按照上述方式对第一信道检测机制和第二信道检测机制的各项参数信息进行调整,可以确保能够有力地提高发送DRS的LBT机制抢占信道的能力,使其较发送普通下行数据的LBT机制更容易抢占到信道,或至少与发送普通下行数据的LBT机制具有相同的信道抢占机率,以减少终端测量参考信号DRS、进行小区识别、下行同步、时频估计时消耗的功耗,提高准确度。其具体过程为:将发送DRS的LBT机制的CCA检测时间长度(即粒度)调整为小于或等于发送数据的LBT机制的CCA检测时间长度。例如:当发送数据的LBT机制中CCA检测时间长度为20us(该检测时间长度即为非授权频谱规则中规定的CCA的最小检测时间粒度)时,发送参考信号DRS的LBT机制中的CCA检测时间长度可以是10us,或者当发送数据的LBT机制中CCA检测时间长度是30us,发送参考信号DRS的LBT机制中CCA检测时间长度可以为20us;
将发送参考信号DRS的LBT机制的最大信道占用时间调整为小于或等于发送数据的LBT机制的最大信道占用时间,例如:当发送数据的LBT机制中最大信道占用时间是4ms,发送参考信号DRS的LBT机制中最大信道占用时间可以是3ms;
将发送参考信号DRS的LBT机制的延长的信道检测时间的竞争窗口长度(即q值)调整为小于发送数据的LBT机制的延长的信道检测时间的竞争窗口长度(即q值),从而使得当LBT机制是基于LBE时,随机数N取较小值的概率高,例如:发送参考信号DRS的LBT机制中q值取4时,发送数据的LBT机制中的q值可以取16到32,这样发送参考信号DRS的LBT机制中随机数N从1~q中取时,其值较小,就意味着在较少个CCA检测时间检测到信道空闲时,就能发送DRS了;
将发送参考信号DRS的LBT机制的CCA信道检测门限(信号强度阈值)调整为大于或等于发送数据LBT机制采用的CCA信道检测门限(信号强度阈值),即在发送DRS时,只要信道干扰不是太大,就判断信道下行空闲就能发送DRS,而在发送下行数据时,只有在信道干扰很小时,才能判断信道下行空闲,才能发送下行数据。当然,若为了使发送普通下行数据的LBT机制较发送DRS的LBT机制更容易抢占到信道,则可以按照与上述控制方式完全相反的方式调整发送普通下行数据的LBT机制和发送DRS的LBT机制中的各项参数信息。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,还包括:在帧结构中为所述发现参考信号设置第一发送周期;在所述第一发送周期中为所述发现参考信号设置至少一个第二发送周期;在至少一个所述第二发送周期中的每个所述第二发送周期中的相同位置均设置一个发送窗口,并按顺序依次在每个所述第二发送周期中的发送窗口中设置用于连续检测所述下行信道是否空闲的至少一个信道检测时间,用于检测所述下行信道是否空闲。
在该技术方案中,通过在帧结构中为发现参考信号设置一个较大的第一发送周期,并在第一发送周期中设置至少一个较小的第二发送周期,且在每个第二发送周期中的相同位置均设置一个发送窗口,便于在每个发送窗口中设置可以连续检测下行信道是否空闲的至少一个信道检测时间并在 至少一个信道检测时间中的每个信道检测时间上设置CCA,从而可以在每个信道检测时间内使用该CCA检测下行信道是否空闲,以在空闲时发送DRS信号。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,所述第一发送周期大于第一预设发送周期,其中,所述第一预设发送周期等于所述具有基站功能的设备所在的服务小区中的小小区关闭时发送所述发现参考信号的最小周期值,且所述第一发送周期等于所述小小区关闭时发送所述发现参考信号时使用的除所述最小周期值之外的其他周期值;所述第二发送周期小于第二预设发送周期,其中,所述第二预设发送周期等于异频测量中测量间隔出现的最大周期值,所述第二发送周期等于异频测量中除所述最大周期值之外的所述测量间隔出现的其他周期值,且所述发送窗口的长度等于异频测量中所述测量间隔的长度。
在该技术方案中,通过使第一发送周期等于小小区关闭时,发送发现参考信号时使用的除最小周期值(如40ms)之外的其他周期值(如80ms、160ms),且使第一发送周期大于第一预设发送周期,可以确保第一发送周期为传统DRS发送周期中较大的值,比如160ms,另外,通过使第二发送周期等于异频测量中除最大周期值(如80ms)之外的测量间隔出现的其他周期值,且使第二发送周期小于第二预设发送周期,可以确保第二发送周期为异频测量中测量间隔出现的周期中的较小值(比如40ms),这样便于更频繁地检测下行信道是否空闲,以在检测到空闲时,可以及时地发送DRS,同时,也可以提高信道测量结果的准确度,并进一步提高DRS占用信道的能力,防止发送DRS时因为下行信道检测不频繁,而导致错失发送DRS的时机。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,还包括:当在任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的任一信道检测时间内检测到所述下行信道空闲、且所述任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的剩余时间大于或等于所述第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间和/或所述第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间与终端接收机频点切换时间之和时,在所述任一第二发送周期的发送窗口的剩余时间内发送所述发现参考信号,其中,所述任一第二发送周期为所述第一 发送周期中的任一第二发送周期。
在该技术方案中,当任一信道检测时间内的CCA检测到下行信道空闲,且发送窗口中的剩余时间大于或等于第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间和/或第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间与终端接收机频点切换时间之和时,说明发送窗口中的剩余时间足够完整地发送一个DRS信号,则可以在任一第二发送周期的发送窗口的剩余时间内发送一个发现参考信号,反之,当任一信道检测时间内的CCA检测到下行信道空闲,但发送窗口中的剩余时间小于第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间和/或第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间与终端接收机频点切换时间之和时,说明发送窗口中的剩余时间不足够完整地发送一个DRS信号,则不在任一第二发送周期的发送窗口的剩余时间内发送发现参考信号。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,还包括:在所述任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的至少一个信道检测时间内仍未检测到所述下行信道空闲时,且在满足以下条件的情况下,停止在所述任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中设置其他信道检测时间,并在与所述任一第二发送周期相邻的其他第二发送周期的发送窗口中设置至少一个信道检测时间:所述第一发送周期中设置有至少一个第二发送周期,且所述任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的剩余时间小于所述第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间;和/或所述第一发送周期中设置有至少一个第二发送周期,且所述任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的剩余时间小于所述第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间与终端接收机频点切换时间之和。
在该技术方案中,当该任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的至少一个信道检测时间内仍未检测到下行信道空闲时,若任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的剩余时间小于第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间和/或第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间与终端接收机频点切换时间之和,则就可以不用在该任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中设置其他信道检测时间,即不用做CCA检测了,因为即使后面的CCA在其他信道检测时间内检测到信道空闲,也不能发送完整的DRS了,而可以按顺序依次在与该任一第二发送周期相邻的其他第二发送周期的发送窗口中设置至少一个信道检测时 间,以在该至少一个信道检测时间内使用CCA检测下行信道是否空闲。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,还包括:当在所述任一第二发送周期中的发送窗口内已发送所述发现参考信号时,在所述第一发送周期中的剩余时间内释放所述下行信道,停止发送所述发现参考信号,且当所述第一发送周期中设置有至少一个第二发送周期时,停止在所述第一发送周期中的剩余时间内的剩余其他第二发送周期的发送窗口中设置用于检测所述下行信道是否空闲,用于发送所述发现参考信号的信道检测时间。
在该技术方案中,当在任一第二发送周期中的发送窗口内已发送发现参考信号时,则可以在第一发送周期中的剩余时间内释放下行信道,以不再发送发现参考信号,并停止在剩余其他第二发送周期的发送窗口中设置用于检测下行信道是否空闲以发送发现参考信号的信道检测时间,这样,可以保证第一发送周期内,最多发送一次DRS,避免DRS信号发送过于频繁,占用下行信道时间过长而影响下行数据的正常发送。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,还包括:当在任一第二发送周期的任一信道检测时间内检测到所述下行信道空闲时,判断所述任一信道检测时间是否为所述任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的第N个信道检测时间之前的信道检测时间;在判断结果为是时,不发送所述发现参考信号,为终端预留终端接收机频点切换时间,否则,发送所述发现参考信号,其中,所述终端接收机频点切换时间包括:(N-1)个所述信道检测时间的时间之和,其中,N为正整数,所述任一第二发送周期为所述第一发送周期中的任一第二发送周期。
在该技术方案中,当在任一第二发送周期的任一信道检测时间内检测到下行信道空闲时,若该任一信道检测时间是该任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的第N个信道检测时间之前的信道检测时间,则不发送发现参考信号,这样,便于将第N个信道检测时间之前的信道检测时间预留给终端以作为终端接收机频点切换时间;当然,若该任一信道检测时间是第N个信道检测时间或第N个信道检测时间之后的信道检测时间,则可以说明已经为终端预留终端接收机频点切换时间了,则可以立即发送发现参考信号。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,当在任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的 任一信道检测时间内检测所述下行信道是否空闲时,若在所述任一第二发送周期的发送窗口内需同时发送所述发现参考信号和所述下行数据,则所述调整所述待发送数据所对应的信道检测机制的参数信息的过程具体包括:将所述第一信道检测时间粒度调整为小于或等于所述第二信道检测时间粒度;和/或将所述第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间调整为小于或等于所述第二信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间;和/或将所述第一竞争窗口数目调整为小于或等于所述第二竞争窗口数目;和/或将所述第一信号强度阈值调整为大于或等于所述第二信号强度阈值;或所述调整所述待发送数据所对应的信道检测机制的参数信息的过程具体还包括:将所述第二信道检测时间粒度调整为大于或等于所述第一信道检测时间粒度;和/或将所述第二信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间调整为大于或等于所述第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间;和/或将所述第二竞争窗口数目调整为大于或等于所述第一竞争窗口数目;和/或将所述第二信号强度阈值调整为小于或等于所述第一信号强度阈值。
在该技术方案中,当在任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的任一信道检测时间内检测下行信道是否空闲时,若需要在该任一第二发送周期的发送窗口内同时发送发现参考信号和下行数据,则可以将第一信道检测机制或第二信道检测机制的参数信息进行调整,使第一信道检测机制和第二信道检测机制都使用第二信道检测机制的参数信息、或第一信道检测机制和第二信道检测机制都使用第一信道检测机制的参数信息,从而使得第一信道检测机制与第二信道检测机制具有相等的下行信道抢占机率,以使第一信道检测机制与第二信道检测机制公平竞争下行信道;当然,还可以将第一信道检测机制和第二信道检测机制调整为分别使用各自的参数信息,以使得发送DRS的LBT机制具有更高的抢占信道的能力,使其较发送普通下行数据的LBT机制更容易抢占到信道,从而使发现参考信号更容易占用信道,进而减少终端测量参考信号DRS、进行小区识别、下行同步、时频估计时消耗的功耗,提高准确度。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,所述调整方法适用于LTE系统上的非授权频段上的下行信道;以及所述信道检测机制包括先听后说机制。
图6示出了根据本发明的一个实施例的信道占用概率的调整系统的结构示意图。
如图6所示,示出了本发明的一个实施例的信道占用概率的调整系统600,包括:第一调整单元602,根据所述具有基站功能的设备的待发送数据的数据类型,调整所述待发送数据所对应的信道检测机制的参数信息;第二调整单元604,根据调整后的所述参数信息,调整所述待发送数据占用下行信道的概率,其中,所述待发送数据的数据类型包括:发现参考信号和/或下行数据。
在该技术方案中,通过根据具有基站功能的设备的待发送数据即该待发送数据是发现参考信号还是下行数据,调整待发送数据对应的LBT机制(即信道检测机制)的参数信息,使得发现参考信号和下行数据所对应的LBT机制使用相同或不同的各项参数信息,从而实现对待发送数据占用下行信道的概率进行调整,使得发送DRS的LBT机制抢占信道的能力得到提高,使发送DRS信号的LBT机制较发送普通下行数据的LBT机制更容易抢占到信道,或至少与发送普通下行数据的LBT机制具有相同的信道占有机率,从而使发现参考信号更容易占用信道或至少与普通下行数据具有相同的信道占有概率,进而实现及时地发送DRS信号,以减少终端测量参考信号DRS、进行小区识别、下行同步、时频估计时消耗的功耗,提高准确度,当然,发送DRS的LBT机制和发送普通下行数据的LBT机制可以是基于帧结构的LBT机制也可以是基于负载的LBT机制。另外,具有基站功能的设备包括基站、通过通信设备(如智能手机等)实现的微小区基站等。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,所述第一调整单元602具体用于:根据所述具有基站功能的设备的待发送数据的数据类型,调整以下至少一种参数或其组合:所述待发送数据所对应的信道检测机制的信道检测时间粒度、所述待发送数据所对应的信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间、当所述具有基站功能的设备使用基于负载的信道检测机制发送所述待发送数据时使用的延长的信道检测时间的竞争窗口长度、所述待发送数据所对应的信道检测机制使用的用于判断所述下行信道是否空闲的信号强度阈值。
在该技术方案中,通过调整发现参考信号和下行数据所对应的LBT机制中的各项参数信息,可以提高发送DRS的LBT机制抢占信道的能力,使其较发送普通下行数据的LBT机制更容易抢占到信道,或至少与普通下行数据具有相同的信道占有概率,使发现参考信号更容易占用信道,进而减少终端测量参考信号DRS、进行小区识别、下行同步、时频估计时消耗的功耗,提高准确度。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,所述信道检测机制包括:第一信道检测机制和第二信道检测机制,其中,当发送所述发现参考信号时,使用所述第一信道检测机制检测所述下行信道,当发送所述下行数据时,使用所述第二信道检测机制检测所述下行信道。
在该技术方案中,发送发现参考信号和发送下行数据时,分别使用第一信道检测机制和第二信道检测机制检测下行信道,而第一信道检测机制和第二信道检测机制可以相同也可以不同,例如:可以都是基于帧结构(或基于负载)的LBT机制,但是其中的参数不一样,也可以分别为基于帧结构的LBT机制和基于负载的LBT机制。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,所述第一调整单元602具体还用于:通过以下过程调整所述待发送数据所对应的信道检测机制的参数信息,以使所述发现参考信号占用所述下行信道的概率大于或等于所述第二信道检测机制占用所述下行信道的概率:将所述第一信道检测机制的第一信道检测时间粒度调整为小于或等于所述第二信道检测机制的第二信道检测时间粒度;和/或将所述第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间调整为小于或等于所述第二信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间;和/或将所述第一信道检测机制使用的延长的信道检测时间的第一竞争窗口长度调整为小于或等于所述第二信道检测机制使用的延长的信道检测时间的第二竞争窗口长度;和/或将所述第一信道检测机制使用的用于判断所述下行信道是否空闲的第一信号强度阈值调整为大于或等于所述第二信道检测机制使用的用于判断所述下行信道是否空闲的第二信号强度阈值。
在该技术方案中,当具有基站功能的设备发送发现参考信号或/或下行数据,通过按照上述方式对第一信道检测机制和第二信道检测机制的各项 参数信息进行调整,可以确保能够有力地提高发送DRS的LBT机制抢占信道的能力,使其较发送普通下行数据的LBT机制更容易抢占到信道,或至少与发送普通下行数据的LBT机制具有相同的信道抢占机率,以减少终端测量参考信号DRS、进行小区识别、下行同步、时频估计时消耗的功耗,提高准确度。其具体过程为:将发送DRS的LBT机制的CCA检测时间长度(即粒度)调整为小于或等于发送数据的LBT机制的CCA检测时间长度。例如:当发送数据的LBT机制中CCA检测时间长度为20us(该检测时间长度即为非授权频谱规则中规定的CCA的最小检测时间粒度)时,发送参考信号DRS的LBT机制中的CCA检测时间长度可以是10us,或者当发送数据的LBT机制中CCA检测时间长度是30us,发送参考信号DRS的LBT机制中CCA检测时间长度可以为20us;
将发送参考信号DRS的LBT机制的最大信道占用时间调整为小于或等于发送数据的LBT机制的最大信道占用时间,例如:当发送数据的LBT机制中最大信道占用时间是4ms,发送参考信号DRS的LBT机制中最大信道占用时间可以是3ms;
将发送参考信号DRS的LBT机制的延长的信道检测时间的竞争窗口长度(即q值)调整为小于发送数据的LBT机制的延长的信道检测时间的竞争窗口长度(即q值),从而使得当LBT机制是基于LBE时,随机数N取较小值的概率高,例如:发送参考信号DRS的LBT机制中q值取4时,发送数据的LBT机制中的q值可以取16到32,这样发送参考信号DRS的LBT机制中随机数N从1~q中取时,其值较小,就意味着在较少个CCA检测时间检测到信道空闲时,就能发送DRS了;
将发送参考信号DRS的LBT机制的CCA信道检测门限(信号强度阈值)调整为大于或等于发送数据LBT机制采用的CCA信道检测门限(信号强度阈值),即在发送DRS时,只要信道干扰不是太大,就判断信道下行空闲就能发送DRS,而在发送下行数据时,只有在信道干扰很小时,才能判断信道下行空闲,才能发送下行数据。当然,若为了使发送普通下行数据的LBT机制较发送DRS的LBT机制更容易抢占到信道,则可以按照与上述控制方式完全相反的方式调整发送普通下行数据的LBT机制和发送 DRS的LBT机制中的各项参数信息。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,还包括:第一设置单元606,在帧结构中为所述发现参考信号设置第一发送周期;第二设置单元608,在所述第一发送周期中为所述发现参考信号设置至少一个第二发送周期;第三设置单元610,在至少一个所述第二发送周期中的每个所述第二发送周期中的相同位置均设置一个发送窗口,并按顺序依次在每个所述第二发送周期中的发送窗口中设置用于连续检测所述下行信道是否空闲的至少一个信道检测时间,用于检测所述下行信道是否空闲。
在该技术方案中,通过在帧结构中为发现参考信号设置一个较大的第一发送周期,并在第一发送周期中设置至少一个较小的第二发送周期,且在每个第二发送周期中的相同位置均设置一个发送窗口,便于在每个发送窗口中设置可以连续检测下行信道是否空闲的至少一个信道检测时间并在至少一个信道检测时间中的每个信道检测时间上设置CCA,从而可以在每个信道检测时间内使用该CCA检测下行信道是否空闲,以在空闲时发送DRS信号。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,所述第一发送周期大于第一预设发送周期,其中,所述第一预设发送周期等于所述具有基站功能的设备所在的服务小区中的小小区关闭时发送所述发现参考信号的最小周期值,且所述第一发送周期等于所述小小区关闭时发送所述发现参考信号时使用的除所述最小周期值之外的其他周期值;所述第二发送周期小于第二预设发送周期,其中,所述第二预设发送周期等于异频测量中测量间隔出现的最大周期值,所述第二发送周期等于异频测量中除所述最大周期值之外的所述测量间隔出现的其他周期值,且所述发送窗口的长度等于异频测量中所述测量间隔的长度。
在该技术方案中,通过使第一发送周期等于小小区关闭时,发送发现参考信号时使用的除最小周期值(如40ms)之外的其他周期值(如80ms、160ms),且使第一发送周期大于第一预设发送周期,可以确保第一发送周期为传统DRS发送周期中较大的值,比如160ms,另外,通过使第二发送周期等于异频测量中除最大周期值(如80ms)之外的测量间隔出现的其他 周期值,且使第二发送周期小于第二预设发送周期,可以确保第二发送周期为异频测量中测量间隔出现的周期中的较小值(比如40ms),这样便于更频繁地检测下行信道是否空闲,以在检测到空闲时,可以及时地发送DRS,同时,也可以提高信道测量结果的准确度,并进一步提高DRS占用信道的能力,防止发送DRS时因为下行信道检测不频繁,而导致错失发送DRS的时机。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,还包括:第一发送单元612,当在任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的任一信道检测时间内检测到所述下行信道空闲、且所述任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的剩余时间大于或等于所述第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间和/或所述第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间与终端接收机频点切换时间之和时,在所述任一第二发送周期的发送窗口的剩余时间内发送所述发现参考信号,其中,所述任一第二发送周期为所述第一发送周期中的任一第二发送周期。
在该技术方案中,当任一信道检测时间内的CCA检测到下行信道空闲,且发送窗口中的剩余时间大于或等于第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间和/或第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间与终端接收机频点切换时间之和时,说明发送窗口中的剩余时间足够完整地发送一个DRS信号,则可以在任一第二发送周期的发送窗口的剩余时间内发送一个发现参考信号,反之,当任一信道检测时间内的CCA检测到下行信道空闲,但发送窗口中的剩余时间小于第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间和/或第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间与终端接收机频点切换时间之和时,说明发送窗口中的剩余时间不足够完整地发送一个DRS信号,则不在任一第二发送周期的发送窗口的剩余时间内发送发现参考信号。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,还包括:第一处理单元614,在所述任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的至少一个信道检测时间内仍未检测到所述下行信道空闲时,且在满足以下条件的情况下,停止在所述任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中设置其他信道检测时间,并在与所述任一第二发送周期相邻的其他第二发送周期的发送窗口中设置至少一个信道检测时间:所述第一发送周期中设置有至少一个第二发送周期,且所述任一第二发送周期 的发送窗口中的剩余时间小于所述第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间;和/或所述第一发送周期中设置有至少一个第二发送周期,且所述任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的剩余时间小于所述第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间与终端接收机频点切换时间之和。
在该技术方案中,当该任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的至少一个信道检测时间内仍未检测到下行信道空闲时,若任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的剩余时间小于第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间和/或第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间与终端接收机频点切换时间之和,则就可以不用在该任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中设置其他信道检测时间,即不用做CCA检测了,因为即使后面的CCA在其他信道检测时间内检测到信道空闲,也不能发送完整的DRS了,而可以按顺序依次在与该任一第二发送周期相邻的其他第二发送周期的发送窗口中设置至少一个信道检测时间,以在该至少一个信道检测时间内使用CCA检测下行信道是否空闲。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,还包括:第二处理单元616,当在所述任一第二发送周期中的发送窗口内已发送所述发现参考信号时,在所述第一发送周期中的剩余时间内释放所述下行信道,停止发送所述发现参考信号,且当所述第一发送周期中设置有至少一个第二发送周期时,停止在所述第一发送周期中的剩余时间内的剩余其他第二发送周期的发送窗口中设置用于检测所述下行信道是否空闲,用于发送所述发现参考信号的信道检测时间。
在该技术方案中,当在任一第二发送周期中的发送窗口内已发送发现参考信号时,则可以在第一发送周期中的剩余时间内释放下行信道,以不再发送发现参考信号,并停止在剩余其他第二发送周期的发送窗口中设置用于检测下行信道是否空闲以发送发现参考信号的信道检测时间,这样,可以保证第一发送周期内,最多发送一次DRS,避免DRS信号发送过于频繁,占用下行信道时间过长而影响下行数据的正常发送。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,还包括:判断单元618,当在任一第二发送周期的任一信道检测时间内检测到所述下行信道空闲时,判断所述任一信道检测时间是否为所述任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的第N个信道 检测时间之前的信道检测时间;第二发送单元620,在判断结果为是时,不发送所述发现参考信号,为终端预留终端接收机频点切换时间,否则,发送所述发现参考信号,其中,所述终端接收机频点切换时间包括:(N-1)个所述信道检测时间的时间之和,其中,N为正整数,所述任一第二发送周期为所述第一发送周期中的任一第二发送周期。
在该技术方案中,当在任一第二发送周期的任一信道检测时间内检测到下行信道空闲时,若该任一信道检测时间是该任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的第N个信道检测时间之前的信道检测时间,则不发送发现参考信号,这样,便于将第N个信道检测时间之前的信道检测时间预留给终端以作为终端接收机频点切换时间;当然,若该任一信道检测时间是第N个信道检测时间或第N个信道检测时间之后的信道检测时间,则可以说明已经为终端预留终端接收机频点切换时间了,则可以立即发送发现参考信号。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,所述第一调整单元602还用于:当在任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的任一信道检测时间内检测所述下行信道是否空闲时,若在所述任一第二发送周期的发送窗口内需同时发送所述发现参考信号和所述下行数据,将所述第一信道检测时间粒度调整为小于或等于所述第二信道检测时间粒度;和/或将所述第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间调整为小于或等于所述第二信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间;和/或将所述第一竞争窗口数目调整为小于或等于所述第二竞争窗口数目;和/或将所述第一信号强度阈值调整为大于或等于所述第二信号强度阈值;或所述第一调整单元602还用于:将所述第二信道检测时间粒度调整为大于或等于所述第一信道检测时间粒度;和/或将所述第二信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间调整为大于或等于所述第一信道检测机制的最大信道占用时间;和/或将所述第二竞争窗口数目调整为大于或等于所述第一竞争窗口数目;和/或将所述第二信号强度阈值调整为小于或等于所述第一信号强度阈值。
在该技术方案中,当在任一第二发送周期的发送窗口中的任一信道检测时间内检测下行信道是否空闲时,若需要在该任一第二发送周期的发送窗口内同时发送发现参考信号和下行数据,则可以将第一信道检测机制或 第二信道检测机制的参数信息进行调整,使第一信道检测机制和第二信道检测机制都使用第二信道检测机制的参数信息、或第一信道检测机制和第二信道检测机制都使用第一信道检测机制的参数信息,从而使得第一信道检测机制与第二信道检测机制具有相等的下行信道抢占机率,以使第一信道检测机制与第二信道检测机制公平竞争下行信道;当然,还可以将第一信道检测机制和第二信道检测机制调整为分别使用各自的参数信息,以使得发送DRS的LBT机制具有更高的抢占信道的能力,使其较发送普通下行数据的LBT机制更容易抢占到信道,使发现参考信号更容易占用信道,进而减少终端测量参考信号DRS、进行小区识别、下行同步、时频估计时消耗的功耗,提高准确度。
在上述技术方案中,优选地,所述调整系统适用于LTE系统上的非授权频段上的下行信道;以及所述信道检测机制包括先听后说机制。
图7示出了根据本发明的一个实施例的具有基站功能的设备的结构示意图。
如图7所示,示出了本发明的一个实施例的具有基站功能的设备700,包括:如上述技术方案中任一项所述的信道占用概率的调整系统600。
在该技术方案中,通过在具有基站功能的设备700上设置信道占用概率的调整系统600,可以使发送DRS的LBT机制具有更高的抢占信道的能力,使其较发送普通下行数据的LBT机制更容易抢占到信道或至少与发送普通下行数据的LBT机制具有相同的信道抢占机率,以减少终端测量参考信号DRS、进行小区识别、下行同步、时频估计时消耗的功耗,提高准确度。
图8示出了根据本发明的一个实施例的发现参考信号所对应的先听后说机制中的发送窗口的设置位置的结构示意图;图9示出了根据本发明的一个实施例的发送发现参考信号的示意图。
下面将结合图8和图9详细说明本发明的技术方案:
首先在LAA SCell(小小区)基站的帧结构中设置一个发送DRS的周期,这里称第一周期,第一周期需要取传统DRS发送周期中较大的值,比如160ms,如图8所示。
其次在第一周期中设置一个小周期,这里称第二周期,该小周期为measurement gap(测量间隔)的周期值,比如40ms,如图8所示。
在每40ms中有一个长度为6ms的窗口,且这个6ms以40ms为周期出现的,这个6ms窗口可供发送DRS。
这里的6ms实际上就是measurement gap的长度,其长度正好覆盖传统的PSS、SSS、CRS(5ms)的长度或DRS的发送长度(最大5ms)加上接收机频点切换的时间,但是由于受最大信道占用时间的限制,LAA SCell的DRS的长度不能像传统的DRS一样长,无法占用5ms,这里我们称为DRS长度,其值可能是2.5ms,3ms,4ms等。也就是说我们设计的DRS只需要占用6ms窗口中的一部分来发送即可。
另外,在这种帧结构中从6ms的起始位置开始,将时间分成一些小的粒度,该粒度(即信道检测时间)是用来做CCA检测,为了比有数据发送的eNB(基站)更容易抢占到信道,这里的CCA检测粒度(即信道检测时间)可以设为10us(也可以是20us)。下面我们以DRS长度(即最大信道占用时间)为3ms,信道检测时间为10us为例子说明如何发送DRS的:
从6ms起点开始,每10us做一次CCA检测,只要一个CCA检测检测到下行信道空闲,立马发送DRS。同时,这里的用于发送DRS的LBT机制有点像FBE和LBE的结合,CCA起点是40ms周期,相当于是周期性出现的FBE机制,但是第一个CCA检测到信道忙后,不像FBE一样等到下一个40ms周期的CCA再开始检测,而是像LBE机制一样,继续检测,但是LBE的Extended CCA(延长的信道检测时间)中随机数N取值为1,只要检测到1次信道空闲,则可以占用信道。(这里为了留出终端接收机频点切换的时间,比如需要20us,那么即便同一第二周期内前面有2个检测到信道空闲的CCA,也先不发送,直到该同一第二周期内出现第3个检测到信道空闲的CCA,才发送DRS)
DRS发送3ms之后截止,eNB释放信道。但如果任一第二周期内的任一信道检测时间内的CCA检测到信道空闲时,6ms的剩余时间不满3ms了(或者考虑频点切换,留出20us的时间,则应该是不满3ms+20us了),那么后面就不用做CCA检测了。因为即使该任一第二周期内的其他任一信 道检测时间内的CCA检测到信道空闲了,也不能发送完整的DRS了。
另外,这第一周期中的4个第二周期中,每个第二周期的发送窗口都会尝试发送DRS,但如果前面一个第二周期的发送窗口中成功发送过DRS了,则后面的第二周期中的发送窗口就不用尝试了。如果前面没有成功发送过DRS,则后面的第二周期中的发送窗口继续尝试。也就是说,第一周期中只要保证发送了一次DRS即可。
图9给出一些发送DRS的例子(例子中10us的CCA检测时间粒度和3ms的最大信道占用时间只是示意图)
Case 1中,在第5个信道检测时间(即第5个CCA时间)内检测到下行信道空闲,且剩余时间大于3ms,则发送DRS。那么在160ms的剩余时间内,eNB不会因为发送DRS而占用信道,也不需要再因为发送DRS而设置CCA时间来检测信道空闲。
Case 2中,第9个信道检测时间内的CCA检测到下行信道空闲,且剩余时间大于3ms,则发送DRS。那么在160ms的剩余时间内,eNB不会因为发送DRS而占用信道,也不需要再因为发送DRS而设置CCA时间来检测信道空闲。
Case 3中,第20个信道检测时间内的CCA检测到下行信道空闲时,剩余时间刚好只剩3ms了,则发送DRS之后,6ms的窗口时间结束。
Case 4中,当6ms窗口时间只剩3ms时,在第二周期的发送窗口中的至少一个信道检测时间(即至少一个CCA时间)内仍未检测到下行信道空闲,则就不用在该第二周期的发送窗口中设置其他信道检测时间,也就不用使用CCA时间做检测了,因为即使检测到下行信道空闲,也不能发送完整的DRS了。那么等到下一个40ms周期中的6ms窗口开始时,再进行发送DRS的CCA检测。
另外,当eNB在这些个6ms窗口也有数据发送时,三种解决方案:
发送发现参考信号的先听后说机制和发送下行数据的先听后说机制分别使用各自的参数信息;
发送发现参考信号的先听后说机制和发送下行数据的先听后说机制都使用发送下行数据的先听后说机制的参数信息。
发送下行数据的先听后说机制和发送发现参考信号的先听后说机制都使用发送发现参考信号的先听后说机制的参数信息。
以上结合附图详细说明了本发明的技术方案,可以提高发送DRS的LBT机制抢占信道的能力,使其较发送普通下行数据的LBT机制更容易抢占到信道,从而使发现参考信号更容易占用信道或至少与发送普通下行数据的LBT机制具有相同的信道抢占机率,进而实现及时发送DRS,从而减少终端测量参考信号DRS、进行小区识别、下行同步、时频估计时消耗的功耗,提高准确度。
