步骤110,无线接入点确定该无线接入点控制的第一小区的节能负载门限。
步骤120,无线接入点根据该节能负载门限控制第一小区的发射功率,该第一小区的发射功率包括数据信道的发射功率。
具体地,在步骤110中,一个无线无线接入点可以只有一个小区,也可以有多个小区,因此第一小区可以表示一个或多个上述无线接入点控制的小区,某个小区的负载可以用该小区内的用户设备所需的无线资源与该小区所有无线资源的比例表示。
基于上述技术方案,本发明实施例的无线通信中功率调整的方法和无线接入点,可以根据小区的节能负载门限,调整该小区的发射功率,从而实现各小区的发射功率的分布式控制,有利于降低整个接入网的功率消耗和各个网络设备之间的干扰。
可选地,作为本发明一个实施例,无线接入点确定该无线接入点控制的第一小区的节能负载门限包括:无线接入点获取第一小区在当前周期内的负载信息;无线接入点根据第一小区在当前周期内的负载信息确定第一小区在下一周期内的节能负载门限。
具体地,第一小区发射功率的调整是基于第一小区的节能负载门限进行的调整,如果节能负载门限值设置的过高,会影响用户设备的接入,而节能负载门限值设置的过低,将会影响节能的效果。因此需要根据用户的业务分布来设置节能负载门限,即基于小区的负载情况设置节能负载门限。应理解, 小区负载的定义为服务用户设备所需的无线资源与所有无线资源之间的比例。
应理解,无线接入点获取第一小区负载信息的当前周期或下一周期的长度可以根据该第一小区的负载变化情况确定,第一小区的负载信息可以是第一小区在该周期内的平均负载,本发明不限于此。
还应理解,无线接入点获取第一小区负载信息的当前周期或下一周期的长度可以根据该第一小区的负载变化情况确定,例如可以将当前周期或下一周期设置为小区负载变化周期,上述下一周期是指在当前周期之后的一段时长,其长度可以跟当前周期相同也可以不相同,第一小区的负载信息可以是第一小区在该周期内的平均负载,本发明不限于此。具体而言,第一小区在下一周期的节能负载门限可以根据当前周期的负载门限进行确定,从而能够根据系统负载的动态变化,进行与之对应的小时间粒度的节能控制,进一步地实现分布式高效控制。
可选地,作为本发明一个实施例,无线接入点根据第一小区在当前周期内的负载信息确定第一小区在下一周期内的节能负载门限包括:无线接入点获取第二小区在当前周期内的负载信息,并确定第一小区和第二小区在当前周期的负载均值;无线接入点获取网络负载均衡目标值;无线接入点根据当前周期的负载均值和网络负载均衡目标值确定第一小区的节能负载门限。
具体地,第二小区是指整个网络中的除了第一小区之外的一个或多个小区,例如,第二小区可以是上述无线接入点的邻居接入点所控制的小区,本发明不限于此。无线接入点可以根据第一小区和第二小区在当前周期的负载信息确定在当前周期的负载均值。
具体地,无线接入点可以根据运营商策略或无线接入点的接入控制门限获取网络负载均衡目标值。
具体地,无线接入点根据当前周期的负载均值和网络负载均衡目标值确定第一小区的节能负载门限,可以根据公式(1)计算每个小区的节能负载门限值,公式(1)如下:
ρthr=αρavg+(1-α)ρtar   (1)
其中,α为平滑系数,例如,可以设为0.5,ρthr为小区的节能负载门限,ρavg为网络负载均衡的目标值。
应理解,无线接入点可以设置第一小区的节能负载门限,也可以将该第 一小区的节能负载门限发送给网络中的其它无线接入点,以便于其它无线接入点根据该节能负载门限进行设置,从而能够根据该节能负载门限进行小区发射功率的控制。
可选地,作为本发明一个实施例,无线接入点根据第一小区在当前周期内的负载信息确定第一小区在下一周期内的节能负载门限包括:无线接入点向控制器上报第一小区在当前周期内的负载信息,第一小区在当前周期的负载信息被用于控制器确定第一小区在下一周期内的节能负载门限;接收控制器发送的第一小区在下一周期内的节能负载门限。
应理解,该控制器可以位于某个无线接入点,也可以独立于任何一个无线接入点之外作为一个独立的网络设备。
可选地,该控制器可以统一配置各个无线接入点的节能负载门限值,也就是说可以统一配置各个小区的节能负载门限值,具体步骤如下:控制器获取第一周期内所有小区的负载的均衡值;控制器获取网络负载均衡的目标值,该目标值可以基于运营商策略得到,也可以基于无线接入点的接入控制门限来设置,本发明不限于此;控制器根据负载均衡值和负载均衡目标值的平滑平均值确定为每个无线接入点的节能负载门限,并该将节能负载门限发送给各个无线接入点,以便于各个无线接入点根据该节能负载进行统一配置。
具体地,控制器根据各个小区当前周期的负载均值和网络负载均衡目标值确定节能负载门限,可以根据公式(1)计算该节能负载门限值,公式(1)如下:
ρthr=αρavg+(1-α)ρtar   (1)
其中,α为平滑系数,例如,可以设为0.5,ρthr为小区的节能负载门限,ρavg为网络负载均衡的目标值。
可选地,作为本发明一个实施例,无线接入点根据第一小区在当前周期内的负载信息确定第一小区在下一周期内的节能负载门限包括:无线接入点根据第一小区在上一周期内的负载信息以及第一小区在当前周期的负载信息,确定第一小区的当前负载变化量;无线接入点获取网络负载均衡目标值;无线接入点根据第一小区的负载变化量和负载均衡目标值确定所述第一小区的节能负载门限。
具体地,无线接入点可以单独配置第一小区的节能负载门限,具体地, 例如单独配置第一小区的节能负载门限时,具体步骤如下:统计第一小区第一周期内负载和负载变化趋势;获取全网负载均衡的目标值,具体获取全网负载均衡的目标值的方式可以为通过网络管理系统获取,或通过控制器获取或查表获取。负载小于全网负载均衡的目标值的无线接入点,根据公式(2)确定节能负载门限值,公式(2)如下:
ρthr,i=ρtartarsign(Δρi)Δρtar   (2)
Δρtar为系统预设的门限,可以设为10%。sign(Δρi)为小区i的负载变化的趋势,当负载变小时,取值为-1,变大时取值为+1,否则取值为0。当小区的负载变小时,节能负载门限在全网负载均衡的目标值之上,幅度为预设门限;反之,节能负载门限在全网负载均衡的目标值之下,幅度为预设门限。
可选地,作为本发明一个实施例,无线接入点根据节能负载门限,控制小区的发射功率包括:无线接入点确定第一小区的当前负载;若第一小区的当前负载小于节能负载门限,无线接入点根据第一小区当前的发射功率,确定第一小区的发射功率的降低幅度;无线接入点根据第一小区的发射功率的降低幅度,执行第一小区的发射功率的降低操作。
具体地,无线接入点可以根据实际情况选择不同时刻测量第一小区当前的负载情况,若第一小区在第一时刻测得的当前负载小于节能负载门限时,则该无线接入点可以根据第一小区的当前发射功率,确定第一小区的发射功率的降低幅度,具体地,可以根据公式(3)确定功率调整的幅度,公式(3)如下所示:
Figure PCTCN2015076915-appb-000001
其中,pn,i为第i个小区当前的发射功率,ρn,i和ρthr,i分别为第i个小区当前的测量负载和节能负载门限。
可选地,作为本发明一个实施例,无线接入点根据第一小区的发射功率的降低幅度,执行第一小区的发射功率的降低操作包括:若第一小区当前的发射功率与所述第一小区的发射功率的降低幅度之差大于功率最低门限值,将第一小区的发射功率更新为第一小区当前的发射功率与所述降低幅度之差。
可选地,作为本发明一个实施例,无线接入点根据第一小区的发射功率的降低幅度,执行第一小区的发射功率的降低操作,包括:无线接入点根据第一小区的发射功率的降低幅度以及功率门限值,执行第一小区的发射功率 的降低操作。
可选地,作为本发明一个实施例,若第一小区当前的发射功率与第一小区的降低幅度的之差大于功率门限值时,无线接入点降低当前发射功率,否则,不降低发射功率。
应理解,无线接入点继续测量第二时刻第一小区的当前负载,当第一小区在第二时刻的当前负载小于节能负载门限时,继续根据第一小区的发射功率的降低幅度,执行第一小区当前的发射功率的降低操作,其中,第二时刻发生在第一时刻之后。
应理解,当第一小区的当前发射功率与第一小区的发射功率的降低幅度之和大于功率最低门限值时,才执行第一小区的发射功率的降低操作。
具体地,可以根据公式(4)确定调整后的发射功率,公式(4)如下式所示:
pn+1,i=Δpn+1,i+pn,i   (4)
本发明实施例提供的方法可以动态调整发射功率,能够适应负载的动态变化,低负载的小区的发射功率降低后,能够降低能耗,同时减小对其它小区或无线接入点的干扰,同时能够降低其它高负载的无线接入点的负载,全网负载趋于均衡。
可选地,作为本发明一个实施例,上述第一小区的发射功率还包括控制信道的发射功率。
具体地,当控制信道和数据信道分开的情况下,仅仅调整数据信道的发射功率不会对控制信道有影响,因此不会改变用户设备与各个小区之间的关联关系;当对于数据信道和控制信道相统一的情况下,例如无线局域网中,调整数据信道的功率同时也是对控制信道的调整,也就是说本发明实施例还用于对控制信道发射功率节能的情况。
可选地,作为本发明一个实施例,上述方法还包括:无线接入点将根据第一小区的发射功率的降低幅度,确定第一小区的偏移参数;向用户设备发送小区的偏移参数,以用于用户设备根据该偏移参数进行小区重选操作。
具体地,可以根据公式(5)确定第一小区的偏移量,公式(5)如下式所示:
Offsetn+1,i=-Δpn+1,i   (5)
其中,Offsetn+1,i为本次调整后的小区偏移量,Δpn+1,i为无线接入点i当前的功率降低幅度。
本发明实施例提供的方法可以把小区偏移参数发送给用户设备,以使得用户设备保持同样的用户关联,减少没有必要的切换。
可选地,作为本发明一个实施例,当用户设备收到无线接入点发送的小区偏移参数时,需要根据小区偏移参数进行小区重选操作。
具体地,用户设备在小区的选择、重选或驻留时,通常选择接收信道强度最大的小区。当服务小区的控制信道功率调整时,在该小区内的用户设备将根据收到的小区偏移参数进行如下的调整,如公式(6)所示:
Figure PCTCN2015076915-appb-000002
其中,RSRP为参考信号接收强度(英文:Reference Signal Receiving Power,简写:RSRP),也就是说用户设备将选取参考信号接收强度与小区偏移参数的和最大的小区为服务小区。
具体地,用户设备在进行切换决策时,也依赖于接收到的服务小区和邻区的信号的变化,这时也需要在考虑小区偏移参数,本发明不限于此。
基于上述技术方案,本发明实施例的无线通信中功率调整的方法和无线接入点,可以根据小区的节能负载门限,调整该小区的发射功率,从而实现各小区的发射功率的分布式控制,有利于降低整个接入网的功率消耗和各个网络设备之间的干扰。
图2是本发明实施例提供的无线通信中调整功率的方法的示意性流程图。如图2所示,该方法包括:
步骤210,基于用户业务的分布统计,确定每个无线接入点的节能负载门限。
步骤220,当前负载低于节能负载门限的无线接入点,调整无线接入点的发射功率。
步骤230,当前负载低于节能负载门限的无线接入点,根据无线接入点的发射功率确定小区偏移参数,并将该偏移参数发送给用户设备。
步骤240,用户设备基于该小区的偏移参数进行小区的选择、驻留或者切换。
在步骤210中,每个无线接入点可以单独配置节能负载门限,也可以由 某个无线接入点或者控制器进行统一配置,本发明不限于此。
具体地,由控制器统一设置各无线接入点的节能负载门限的步骤如下:
1)每个无线接入点周期统计其负载,并向控制器上报;
2)控制器计算所有无线接入点的负载的均值ρavg
3)控制器获取网络负载均衡的目标值ρtar,该目标值可以基于运营商的策略,也可以基于无线接入点的接入控制门限来设置;
4)控制器确定统计负载均值和负载均衡目标值的平滑平均值为每个无线接入点的节能负载门限:
ρthr=αρavg+(1-α)ρtar
其中,α为平滑系数,可以设为0.5,ρthr为无线接入点的节能负载门限,在该控制器下的所有无线接入点统一设置。
具体地,由各无线接入点单独配置节能负载门限的步骤如下:
1)每个无线接入点周期统计其负载和负载变化趋势:
Δρi=ρcur,iprv,i
其中,ρcur,i和ρprv,i分别为无线接入点i当前的负载和上次统计的负载;
2)获取全网负载均衡的目标值ρtar
3)负载小于全网负载均衡的目标值的无线接入点,确定其节能负载门限:
ρthr,i=ρtartarsign(Δρi)Δρtar
其中,Δρtar为系统预设的门限,可以设为10%。sign(Δρi)为无线接入点i的负载变化的趋势,当负载变小时,取值为-1,变大时取值为+1,否则取值为0。当无线接入点的负载变小时,节能负载门限在全网负载均衡的目标值之上,幅度为预设门限;反之,节能负载门限在全网负载均衡的目标值之下,幅度为预设门限。
在步骤220,具体地,每个无线接入点调整发射功率的步骤如下:
1)每个无线接入点测量其负载;
2)如果测量负载小于节能负载门限,则继续参与功率调整,否则不再调整;
3)确定功率调整的幅度;
4)基于幅度进行功率调整,其中,若调整后的功率大于功率最低门限,并且测量负载小于节能负载门限,则继续调整,否则不再调整;
功率最低门限是为了保证一定的网络覆盖和服务质量(英文:Quality of Service简写:QoS)要求,在密集网场景下,最低门限可以设置很小;
5)无线接入点把新的小区偏移参数发给用户,以保持同样的用户关联,减少没必要的切换。
在步骤240中,当用户收到无线接入点发送的小区偏移参数时,需要及时应用。一般来说,涉及到功率域的操作,如小区重选,切换决策等,都需要做相应的调整,具体而言,用户可以进行以下操作:
1)小区重选
用户在小区选择/重选/驻留时,通常选择接收信号强度最大的小区。当服务小区的导频功率调整时,在该小区的用户会收到小区偏移参数,这时,小区选择如下:
Figure PCTCN2015076915-appb-000003
2)切换决策
切换决策也是涉及功率域的操作,依赖于接收到的服务小区和邻区的信号的变化,这时同样需要加上小区偏移量。
基于上述技术方案,本发明实施例的无线通信中功率调整的方法和无线接入点,可以根据小区的节能负载门限,调整该小区的发射功率,从而实现各小区的发射功率的分布式控制,有利于降低整个接入网的功率消耗和各个网络设备之间的干扰。
图3是本发明实施例提供的密集无线接入网节能的方法的示意性流程图。该方法300可以由无线接入点设备执行,如图3所示,该方法包括:
步骤301,测量当前负载。
步骤302,判断当前负载是否小于节能负载门限,如果当前负载不小于节能负载门限,则结束功率调整;如果当前负载小于节能负载门限,则继续参与发射功率的调整。
步骤303,确定功率调整的幅度。
步骤304,基于功率调整幅度进行功率调整。
步骤305,判断调整后的发射功率是否大于最低门限功率。如果调整后的发射功率不高于最低门限功率则结束功率调整;如果调整后的发射功率高于最低门限功率,则进一步判断当前负载是否还小于节能负载门限,如果此时当前负载小于节能负载门限,则继续进行发射功率的调整。
在步骤303中,需要确定每次功率调整的幅度。具体地,可以根据公式(3)确定功率调整的幅度,公式(3)如下所示:
Figure PCTCN2015076915-appb-000004
其中,pn,i为第i个小区当前的发射功率,ρn,i和ρthr,i分别为第i个小区当前的测量负载和节能负载门限。
在步骤304中,基于功率调整幅度进行功率调整。具体地,可以根据公式(4)确定调整后的发射功率,公式(4)如下式所示:
pn+1,i=Δpn+1,i+pn,i   (4)
本发明实施例提供的方法可以动态调整发射功率,能够适应负载的动态变化,低负载的小区的发射功率降低后,能够降低能耗,同时减小对其它小区或无线接入点的干扰,同时能够降低其它高负载的无线接入点的负载,全网负载趋于均衡。
基于上述技术方案,本发明实施例的无线通信中功率调整的方法和无线接入点,可以根据小区的节能负载门限,调整该小区的发射功率,从而实现各小区的发射功率的分布式控制,有利于降低整个接入网的功率消耗和各个网络设备之间的干扰。

可选地,该控制器可以统一配置各个无线接入点的节能负载门限值,也就是说可以统一配置各个小区的节能负载门限值,具体步骤如下:控制器获取第一周期内所有小区的负载的均衡值;控制器获取网络负载均衡的目标值,该目标值可以基于运营商策略得到,也可以基于无线接入点的接入控制门限来设置,本发明不限于此;控制器根据负载均衡值和负载均衡目标值的平滑平均值确定为每个无线接入点的节能负载门限,并该将节能负载门限发送给各个无线接入点,以便于各个无线接入点根据该节能负载进行统一配置。
具体地,控制器根据各个小区当前周期的负载均值和网络负载均衡目标值确定节能负载门限,可以根据公式(1)计算该节能负载门限值,公式(1)如下:
ρthr=αρavg+(1-α)ρtar   (1)
其中,α为平滑系数,例如,可以设为0.5,ρthr为小区的节能负载门限,ρavg为网络负载均衡的目标值。
可选地,作为本发明一个实施例,获取单元具体用于:获取第一小区在上一周期内的负载信息以及第一小区在当前周期内的负载信息,并根据第一小区在上一周期内的负载信息以及第一小区在当前周期内的负载信息确定第一小区的当前负载变化量;获取网络负载均衡目标值;根据第一小区的负载变化量和负载均衡目标值确定第一小区的节能负载门限。
具体地,无线接入点可以单独配置第一小区的节能负载门限,具体地,例如单独配置第一小区的节能负载门限时,具体步骤如下:统计第一小区第一周期内负载和负载变化趋势;获取全网负载均衡的目标值,具体获取全网负载均衡的目标值的方式可以为通过网络管理系统获取,或通过控制器获取或查表获取。负载小于全网负载均衡的目标值的无线接入点,根据公式(2)确定节能负载门限值,公式(2)如下:
ρthr,i=ρtartarsign(Δρi)Δρtar   (2)
Δρtar为系统预设的门限,可以设为10%。sign(Δρi)为小区i的负载变化的趋势,当负载变小时,取值为-1,变大时取值为+1,否则取值为0。当小区的负载变小时,节能负载门限在全网负载均衡的目标值之上,幅度为预设门限;反之,节能负载门限在全网负载均衡的目标值之下,幅度为预设门限。
可选地,作为本发明一个实施例,控制单元包括第二确定单元,该第二确定单元用于:确定小区的当前负载;在第一小区的当前负载小区节能负载门限时,根据第一小区当前的发射功率,确定第一小区的发射功率的降低幅度;控制单元具体用于:根据第一小区的发射功率的降低幅度,执行第一小区的发射功率的降低操作。
具体地,无线接入点可以根据实际情况测量第一小区当前的负载情况,若第一小区的当前负载小于节能负载门限时,则该无线接入点可以根据第一小区的当前发射功率,确定第一小区的发射功率的降低幅度,具体地,可以根据公式(3)确定功率调整的幅度,公式(3)如下所示:

其中,pn,i为第i个小区当前的发射功率,ρn,i和ρthr,i分别为第i个小区当 前的测量负载和节能负载门限。
可选地,作为本发明一个实施例,控制单元具体用于:若第一小区当前的发射功率与第一小区的发射功率的降低幅度之差大于功率最低门限值,将第一小区的发射功率更新为第一小区当前的发射功率与降低幅度之差。

本发明实施例提供的方法可以动态调整发射功率,能够适应负载的动态变化,低负载的小区的发射功率降低后,能够降低能耗,同时减小对其它小区或无线接入点的干扰,同时能够降低其它高负载的无线接入点的负载,全网负载趋于均衡。
可选地,作为本发明一个实施例,上述第一小区的发射功率还包括控制信道的发射功率。
具体地,当控制信道和数据信道分开的情况下,仅仅调整数据信道的发射功率不会对控制信道有影响,因此不会改变用户设备与各个小区之间的关联关系;当对于数据信道和控制信道相统一的情况下,例如无线局域网中,调整数据信道的功率同时也是对控制信道的调整,也就是说本发明实施例还用于对控制信道发射功率节能的情况。
