本实施例中,该宏基站执行完S511之后,该宏基站向该第一小基站和该L个相邻小基站分别发送功率分配指示信息,功率分配指示信息用于指示接收该功率分配指示信息的小基站待使用的发射功率。
本实施例提供的小基站发射功率管理方法,通过上述方式,宏基站可以控制不同小基站的发射功率以一定概率分布方式在第一发射功率和第二发射功率间动态切换;也可以使得相邻小基站间的发射功率在同一TTI内错落有致,减小系统干扰;对于同一小基站而言,在一段时间周期内一部分概率时间使用第一发射功率以获得较好的信道质量,保证网络容量,而另一部分概率时间使用第二发射功率,以减小对相邻小基站的干扰。
其中,宏基站覆盖范围内的所有小基站都有一部分时间使用第一发射功率而获得较好的信道质量,从而用户获得较好的信干噪比,进行高数据速率通信,而宏基站覆盖范围内的所有小基站也有一部分时间使用第二发射功率,以减小对相邻小基站的干扰;同时相邻小基站在第一发射功率与第二发射功率间交替切换,同一传输时间间隔内相邻小基站间发射功率错落有致,从而有效地减小系统内的干扰。例如以三个相邻的小基站(小基站1、小基站2、小基站3)为例,小基站1使用第一发射功率时,小基站2和小基站3均使用第二发射功率;小基站2使用第一发射功率时,小基站1和小基站3均使用第二发射功率;小基站3使用第一发射功率时,小基站1和小基站2均使用第二发射功率。

图10为本发明小基站发射功率管理方法实施例六的流程图,如图10所示,本实施例的方法对图9中的S511的一种可行的实现方式进行详细说明,图10中省略了S501-S510,详细可以参见本发明方法实施例五中的记载。本实施例中的S511可以包括:
S601、该宏基站对第一小基站集合中的第二小基站使用第一发射功率,对所述第一小基站集合中除所述第二小基站之外的小基站使用第二发射功率,得到L+1个不同的功率组合。
本实施例中,第一小基站集合包括第一小基站和上述的L个相邻小基站,即该第一小基站集合包括L+1个小基站。该宏基站对该第一小基站集合中的任一小基站使用第一发射功率,对该第一小基站集合中除使用第一发射功率的该小基站之外的其它小基站使用第二发射功率,可以得到L+1个不同的功率组合,每个功率组合包括该第一小基站和L个相邻小基站使用的发射功率。例如:第一小基站称为小基站1,L为3,该第一小基站 的这3个相邻小基站分别称为小基站2、小基站3、小基站4;小基站1使用第一发射功率、小基站2使用第二发射功率、小基站3使用第二发射功率、小基站4使用第二发射功率,这称为第一种功率组合;小基站1使用第二发射功率、小基站2使用第一发射功率、小基站3使用第二发射功率、小基站4使用第二发射功率,这称为第二种功率组合;小基站1使用第二发射功率、小基站2使用第二发射功率、小基站3使用第一发射功率、小基站4使用第二发射功率,这称为第三种功率组合;小基站1使用第二发射功率、小基站2使用第二发射功率、小基站3使用第三发射功率、小基站4使用第一发射功率,这称为第四种功率组合;因此,宏基站可以获得四种不同的功率组合。

本实施例中,该宏基站可以第一小基站的当前发射功率、以及该第一小基站的当前平均信道质量,可以确定该第一小基站的发射功率与平均信道质量之间的关系,然后该宏基站可以根据该发射功率与平均信道质量之间的关系,确定该第一小基站的发射功率为第一发射功率时对应的平均信道质量,以及该第一小基站的发射功率为第二发射功率时对应的平均信道质量;相应地,采用上述类似方式,该宏基站可以根据L个相邻小基站中各个相邻小基站的发射功率与平均信道质量之间的关系,确定各个相邻小基站的发射功率为第一发射功率时对应的平均信道质量,以及确定各个相邻小基站的发射功率为第二发射功率时对应的平均信道质量。因此,宏基站可以确定各个功率组合对应的第一小基站和该L个相邻小基站的平均信道质量。
S603、该宏基站确定各个功率组合对应的该第一小基站和该L个相邻小基站的平均信道质量的加权平均值中,最大的该第一小基站和该L个相邻小基站的平均信道质量的加权平均值。
本实施例中,该宏基站确定各个功率组合对应的第一小基站和该L个相邻小基站的平均信道质量之后,可以获取每个功率组合对应的第一小基 站和该L个相邻小基站的平均信道质量的加权平均值,从而可以获得L+1个加权平均值;再将这L+1个加权平均值进行比较,确定其中最大的加权平均值。
例如:宏基站可以确定在上述第一种功率组合对应的:小基站1的平均信道质量(与第一发射功率对应)、小基站2的平均信道质量(与第二发射功率对应)、小基站3的平均信道质量(与第二发射功率对应)、小基站4的平均信道质量(与第二发射功率对应),然后求小基站1、小基站2、小基站3、小基站4的平均信道质量的加权平均值,获得加权平均值1。
宏基站可以确定在上述第二种功率组合对应的:小基站1的平均信道质量(与第二发射功率对应)、小基站2的平均信道质量(与第一发射功率对应)、小基站3的平均信道质量(与第二发射功率对应)、小基站4的平均信道质量(与第二发射功率对应),然后求小基站1、小基站2、小基站3、小基站4的平均信道质量的加权平均值,获得加权平均值2。
宏基站可以确定在上述第三种功率组合对应的:小基站1的平均信道质量(与第二发射功率对应)、小基站2的平均信道质量(与第二发射功率对应)、小基站3的平均信道质量(与第一发射功率对应)、小基站4的平均信道质量(与第二发射功率对应),然后求小基站1、小基站2、小基站3、小基站4的平均信道质量的加权平均值,获得加权平均值3。
宏基站可以确定在上述第四种功率组合对应的:小基站1的平均信道质量(与第二发射功率对应)、小基站2的平均信道质量(与第二发射功率对应)、小基站3的平均信道质量(与第二发射功率对应)、小基站4的平均信道质量(与第一发射功率对应),然后求小基站1、小基站2、小基站3、小基站4的平均信道质量的加权平均值,获得加权平均值4。
然后将加权平均值1、2、3、4进行比较,确定其中最大的值。
S604、该宏基站将该最大的该第一小基站和该L个相邻小基站的平均信道质量的加权平均值所对应的功率组合中,该第一小基站和该L个相邻小基站使用的发射功率分别作为该第一小基站和该L个相邻小基站待使用的发射功率。
本实施例中,该宏基站确定了L+1个加权平均值中最大的加权平均值 之后,可以确定用于得到该最大的加权平均值的功率组合,从而可以确定该功率组合中第一小基站使用的发射功率为该第一小基站待使用的发射功率,该功率组合L个相邻小基站使用的发射功率为该L个相邻小基站待使用的发射功率。
例如:若加权平均值1、2、3、4中的加权平均值2最大,则宏基站可以确定小基站1待使用的发射功率为第二发射功率,小基站2待使用的发射功率为第一发射功率,小基站3待使用的发射功率为第二发射功率,小基站4待使用的发射功率为第二发射功率。
本实施例提供的小基站发射功率管理方法,使得第一小基站与L个相邻小基站中只有一个小基站使用第一发射功率,其它小基站使用第二发射功率,而且第一小基站和L个相邻小基站的平均信道质量的加权平均值最大。从而减小该第一小基站对相邻小基站和宏基站的干扰,提高网络吞吐量。
