Description

多扇区合并的通信方法及基站Multi-sector merged communication method and base station 技术领域Technical field

本公开涉及通信技术领域,例如涉及一种多扇区合并的通信方法及基站。The present disclosure relates to the field of communication technologies, for example, to a multi-sector merged communication method and base station.

背景技术Background technique

在码分多址(Code Division Multiple Access,CDMA)和宽带码分多址(Wideband CDMA,WCDMA)商用网络中,常常会采用多个射频拉远单元(Radio Remote Unit,RRU)扇区合并为一个逻辑小区来部署网络,从而可以减少扇区间的切换或者减少扰码资源规划工作量,节省基带单板配置。In Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) and Wideband CDMA (WCDMA) commercial networks, multiple Radio Remote Unit (RRU) sectors are often combined into one. The logical cell is used to deploy the network, so that the switching between sectors can be reduced or the scrambling resource planning workload can be reduced, and the baseband board configuration can be saved.

由于合并为同一小区的多个扇区采用相同的下行扰码加扰,用户设备无法区分不同的扇区信号。基站对于分扇区调度方案一般都是采用上行信号的强弱来判断和决策使用哪个扇区的基带资源和功率资源来为用户设备提供通信服务。这在扇区上行负载均衡的情况下可以较为合理地进行扇区调度。Since multiple sectors merged into the same cell are scrambled with the same downlink scrambling code, the user equipment cannot distinguish between different sector signals. For the sectorized scheduling scheme, the base station generally uses the strength of the uplink signal to determine and decide which sector's baseband resources and power resources to use to provide communication services for the user equipment. This can reasonably perform sector scheduling in the case of sector uplink load balancing.

然而,如果同一个逻辑小区内相邻的两个RRU扇区上行负载不均衡,也就是两个RRU扇区的上行信号边界与下行信号覆盖边界不同,具有较大差距,则这种用上行信号的强弱来决策上行和下行资源分配就会导致资源分配不合理,从而使基站下行功率受限,或用户设备的下行性能下降,大大降低了下行功率利用效率。However, if the uplink load of two adjacent RRU sectors in the same logical cell is unbalanced, that is, the uplink signal boundary of the two RRU sectors is different from the downlink signal coverage boundary, and there is a large gap, the uplink signal is used. The strength of the weakest to determine the uplink and downlink resource allocation will lead to unreasonable resource allocation, which will make the downlink power of the base station limited, or the downlink performance of the user equipment will decrease, greatly reducing the downlink power utilization efficiency.

具体实施方式detailed description

以下结合附图对本公开进行详细说明。应当理解,此处所描述的实施例仅仅用以解释本公开,并不限定本公开。在不冲突的情况下,本公开实施例以及实施例中的特征可以相互任意组合。The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood that the embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the disclosure and are not intended to be limiting. The embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments may be arbitrarily combined with each other without conflict.

如图1所示,本公开实施例提供一种多扇区合并的通信方法。As shown in FIG. 1, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a multi-sector merged communication method.

在步骤110中,估算用户设备在相邻两个扇区之间的上下行链路最大不平衡度。In step 110, the uplink and downlink maximum imbalance of the user equipment between two adjacent sectors is estimated.

在步骤120中,根据所述上下行链路最大不平衡度、所述相邻两个扇区的上行负载以及所述用户设备在所述相邻两个扇区的上行信号干扰比,确定为所述用户设备提供通信服务的扇区。In step 120, determining, according to the uplink and downlink maximum imbalance, the uplink load of the two adjacent sectors, and the uplink signal interference ratio of the user equipment in the adjacent two sectors, The user equipment provides a sector of communication services.

本公开实施例提供的多扇区合并的通信方法,能够估算用户设备在相邻两个扇区之间的上下行链路最大不平衡度,根据所述上下行链路最大不平衡度、所述相邻两个扇区的上行负载以及所述用户设备在所述相邻两个扇区的上行信号干扰比,确定为所述用户设备提供通信服务的扇区。即使用户设备所在的逻辑小区的上下行不平衡,也能通过上下行链路最大不平衡度对扇区调度策略进行调整,从而使扇区调度更为合理,提高了基站的资源和功率利用率。The multi-sector merged communication method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can estimate the maximum uplink and downlink imbalance of the user equipment between two adjacent sectors, according to the maximum imbalance of the uplink and downlink. Determining an uplink load of two adjacent sectors and an uplink signal to interference ratio of the user equipment in the adjacent two sectors, determining a sector that provides communication service for the user equipment. Even if the uplink and downlink of the logical cell where the user equipment is located is unbalanced, the sector scheduling policy can be adjusted by the maximum imbalance of the uplink and downlink links, thereby making the sector scheduling more reasonable and improving the resource and power utilization of the base station. .

多个宏扇区合并为一个逻辑小区后,该逻辑小区具有相应的基带子系统和射频子系统。用户设备在该逻辑小区内移动的过程中,可能会跨越不同的扇区,因此会涉及到不同扇区的通信资源调动,即,当用户设备处于两个扇区交界处时,需要确定使用哪个扇区为该用户设备提供通信服务。After combining a plurality of macro sectors into one logical cell, the logical cell has a corresponding baseband subsystem and a radio frequency subsystem. During the movement of the user equipment in the logical cell, different sectors may be spanned, and thus communication resource allocation of different sectors may be involved, that is, when the user equipment is at the boundary of two sectors, it is necessary to determine which one to use. The sector provides communication services for the user equipment.

上下行链路的不平衡通常表现为上行链路的覆盖范围与下行链路的覆盖范围不一致。基站可以估算出这种不一致的最大范围,即上下行链路的最大不平衡度。The imbalance between the uplink and downlink usually shows that the coverage of the uplink is inconsistent with the coverage of the downlink. The base station can estimate the maximum range of such inconsistency, that is, the maximum imbalance of the uplink and downlink.

可以在一个逻辑小区中任选两个相邻的扇区为对象,来说明如何进行相应 的扇区调度。Two adjacent sectors can be selected as objects in one logical cell to explain how to perform corresponding Sector scheduling.

可选的,在步骤110中,估算用户设备在相邻两个扇区之间的上下行链路最大不平衡度包括:Optionally, in step 110, estimating an uplink and downlink maximum imbalance of the user equipment between two adjacent sectors includes:

在所述用户设备从第一扇区向第二扇区移动的过程中,分别检测所述第一扇区和所述第二扇区的噪声增量;以及Detecting, in the process of moving the user equipment from the first sector to the second sector, a noise increase of the first sector and the second sector, respectively;

根据所述第一扇区与所述第二扇区的噪声增量之差估算所述第一扇区与所述第二扇区之间的上下行链路最大不平衡度。Estimating an uplink-downlink maximum imbalance between the first sector and the second sector according to a difference between noise increments of the first sector and the second sector.

举例说明,在本公开的一个实施例中,当用户设备(User Equipment,UE)从第一扇区向第二扇区移动的过程中,基站可以对两个扇区的噪声增量(Rise over Thermal noise,RoT)进行检测,假如基站检测到第一扇区和第二扇区的RoT分别为RoT1和RoT2,则第一扇区与第二扇区的上下行链路最大不平衡度DU=|RoT1-RoT2|。For example, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, when a user equipment (User Equipment, UE) moves from a first sector to a second sector, the base station may increase the noise of two sectors (Rise over Thermal noise (RoT) performs detection. If the base station detects that the RoT of the first sector and the second sector are RoT1 and RoT2, respectively, the maximum imbalance of the uplink and downlink of the first sector and the second sector is DU= |RoT1-RoT2|.

除了通过噪声增量来估算上下行链路最大不平衡度之外,还可以通过其他方法来对相邻小区的上下行链路最大不平衡度进行估算。可选的,在本公开的另一个实施例中,步骤110中估算用户设备在相邻两个扇区之间的上下行链路最大不平衡度包括:In addition to estimating the maximum unbalance of the uplink and downlink by the noise increment, other methods can be used to estimate the maximum imbalance of the uplink and downlink of the neighboring cell. Optionally, in another embodiment of the disclosure, estimating, in step 110, the uplink and downlink maximum imbalance of the user equipment between two adjacent sectors includes:

在所述用户设备从第一扇区向第二扇区移动的过程中,分别检测所述第一扇区和所述第二扇区的上行负载;以及Detecting, in the process of moving the user equipment from the first sector to the second sector, an uplink load of the first sector and the second sector, respectively;

根据所述第一扇区与所述第二扇区的上行负载估算所述第一扇区与所述第二扇区之间的上下行链路最大不平衡度。Estimating an uplink-downlink maximum imbalance between the first sector and the second sector according to an uplink load of the first sector and the second sector.

当UE从第一扇区向第二扇区移动的过程中,基站可以对两个扇区的上行负载L进行检测,假如基站检测到第一扇区和第二扇区的上行负载分别为L1和L2,则第一扇区与第二扇区的上下行链路最大不平衡度DU=|1/(1-L1)-1/(1-L2)|。During the process of the UE moving from the first sector to the second sector, the base station may detect the uplink load L of the two sectors, if the base station detects that the uplink load of the first sector and the second sector is L1 respectively. And L2, the uplink and downlink maximum imbalances of the first sector and the second sector are DU=|1/(1-L1)-1/(1-L2)|.

在估算出上下行链路最大不平衡度之后,在步骤120中即可根据所述上下行链路最大不平衡度DU、所述相邻两个扇区的上行负载以及所述用户设备在所述相邻两个扇区的上行信号干扰比(Signal to Interference Ratio,SIR),确定为所述用户设备提供通信服务的扇区。After estimating the maximum unbalance of the uplink and downlink, in step 120, according to the uplink and downlink maximum imbalance DU, the uplink load of the adjacent two sectors, and the user equipment in the The uplink signal to interference ratio (SIR) of two adjacent sectors is determined to be a sector that provides communication services for the user equipment.

可选的,当用户设备在相邻两个扇区之间移动时,基站可以分别检测每个扇区的上行SIR,如果所述用户设备在所述相邻两个扇区之间的上行信号干扰比 之差的绝对值大于所述上下行链路最大不平衡度DU,并且上行信号干扰比较大的扇区为相邻两个扇区中上行负载较小的扇区,则使用上行信号干扰比较大的扇区为所述用户设备提供通信服务。Optionally, when the user equipment moves between two adjacent sectors, the base station may separately detect an uplink SIR of each sector, if the user equipment is in an uplink signal between the adjacent two sectors. Interference ratio If the absolute value of the difference is greater than the maximum unbalanced DU of the uplink and downlink, and the sector with a relatively large uplink signal interference is a sector with a smaller uplink load in the adjacent two sectors, the uplink signal interference is relatively large. The sector provides communication services for the user equipment.

也就是说,本公开的实施例中,虽然也检测每个扇区的上行SIR,但却并不是在两个扇区的上行SIR之差发生正负变化时为用户设备切换服务扇区,而是考虑到上行链路与下行链路之间的负载不平衡所导致的覆盖边界的差异,只有在两个扇区的上行SIR之差的绝对值大于上下行链路最大不平衡度,并且上行信号干扰比较大的扇区为相邻两个扇区中上行负载较小的扇区时,才确定使用上行信号干扰比较大的扇区为所述用户设备提供通信服务。可选的,这里的通信服务既包括上行通信服务,也包括下行通信服务,从而使提供下行通信服务扇区覆盖了用户设备所在位置,使扇区调度更为合理,也提高了基站的资源和功率利用率。That is to say, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, although the uplink SIR of each sector is also detected, the serving sector is not switched for the user equipment when the difference between the uplink SIRs of the two sectors changes positively and negatively. Considering the difference in coverage boundary caused by the load imbalance between the uplink and the downlink, only the absolute value of the difference between the uplink SIRs of the two sectors is greater than the maximum imbalance of the uplink and downlink, and the uplink When a sector with a relatively large signal interference is a sector with a small uplink load in two adjacent sectors, it is determined that a sector with a relatively large uplink signal interference is provided to provide communication services for the user equipment. Optionally, the communication service includes both an uplink communication service and a downlink communication service, so that providing a downlink communication service sector covers the location of the user equipment, making the sector scheduling more reasonable, and improving the resources of the base station. Power utilization.

如图2所示,本实施例中,基站的室内基带处理单元(Building Baseband Unit,BBU)通过检测第一扇区(RRU1)和第二扇区(RRU2)的上行SIR,发现二者之差的绝对值大于上下行链路最大不平衡度,并且上行信号干扰比较大的扇区为其中上行负载较小的扇区,此时用户设备所在位置处于第二扇区的上行覆盖范围和下行覆盖范围之中,因此,可以使用第二扇区为用户设备提供上行通信服务和下行通信服务。As shown in FIG. 2, in the embodiment, the indoor baseband processing unit (BBU) of the base station detects the difference between the first sector (RRU1) and the second sector (RRU2) by detecting the uplink SIR of the first sector (RRU1) and the second sector (RRU2). The absolute value of the uplink is greater than the maximum unbalance of the uplink and downlink, and the sector with the larger uplink signal interference is the sector with the smaller uplink load. The location where the user equipment is located is in the uplink coverage and downlink coverage of the second sector. In the range, therefore, the second sector can be used to provide uplink communication services and downlink communication services for user equipment.

可选的,如图3所示,在步骤120中,如果用户设备在所述相邻两个扇区之间的上行信号干扰比之差的绝对值小于或等于所述上下行链路最大不平衡度,并且上行信号干扰比较大的扇区为相邻两个扇区中上行负载较小的扇区,则使用上行信号干扰比较大的扇区为所述用户设备提供上行通信服务,使用上行信号干扰比较小的扇区为所述用户设备提供下行通信服务。当用户设备位于如图3所示的位置时,下行链路处于第一扇区覆盖范围,上行链路处于第二扇区覆盖范围,为了充分利用基站的无线资源,可以使用第一扇区为用户设备提供下行通信服务,而使用第二扇区为用户设备提供上行通信服务。Optionally, as shown in FIG. 3, in step 120, if the absolute value of the difference between the uplink signal interference ratios of the user equipments between the two adjacent sectors is less than or equal to the maximum uplink and downlink. If the sector with a relatively high uplink signal interference is a sector with a small uplink load in the adjacent two sectors, the sector with a relatively large uplink signal interference provides the uplink communication service for the user equipment, and uses the uplink. A sector with a relatively small signal interference provides downlink communication services for the user equipment. When the user equipment is located at the location shown in FIG. 3, the downlink is in the first sector coverage, and the uplink is in the second sector coverage. In order to fully utilize the radio resources of the base station, the first sector may be used. The user equipment provides a downlink communication service, and the second sector provides an uplink communication service for the user equipment.

需要说明的是,相邻两个扇区的上行负载以及噪声增量的变化趋势是相同的,因此在上述实施例中,在确定为用户设备提供通信服务的扇区时,也可以使用噪声增量代替上行负载情况来确定。It should be noted that the uplink load of the adjacent two sectors and the change trend of the noise increment are the same. Therefore, in the above embodiment, when the sector that provides the communication service for the user equipment is determined, the noise increase may also be used. The amount is determined instead of the uplink load condition.
