Embodiment
Describe below in conjunction with the accompanying drawing specific embodiments of the invention.
The inventor notices in the invention process: because the position distribution of traffic load, UE etc. is dynamic change in the system; Therefore the RSRP threshold value also should adjust according to its variation in time; Just can better bring into play the effect of ICIC technology, guarantee the performance such as throughput, QoS of edge customer and the performance index of whole sub-district.
And in LTE and LTE+, can reduce the manual work of the network planning and Operation and Maintenance through the mechanism of introducing network self-organization to participate in, reduce the construction and the operation cost of network.Network self-organization is promptly by network based statistic Automatic Optimal parameter.
Therefore, will propose to be directed against the network self-organization solution of the technological RSRP threshold value of ICIC in the embodiment of the invention.
Fig. 2 is the method for adjustment implementing procedure sketch map of reference signal received power threshold, and is as shown in the figure, when the RSRP threshold value is adjusted, can comprise the steps:
Step 201, confirm the Cell Edge User ratio;
Step 202, confirm the spectrum efficiency of each UE of sub-district;
Step 203, according to the spectrum efficiency of edge customer ratio and each UE of sub-district adjustment RSRP threshold value.
Above-mentioned steps 201 does not have the priority sequential relationship in the execution with step 202, and two amounts all need be used when the RSRP threshold value is adjusted, and is merely a kind of execution mode shown in the figure.
For ease of setting forth embodiment of the present invention, will be that subject of implementation describes in the enforcement with the base station.But along with deepening continuously to the execution mode explanation; Those skilled in the art are prone to know; In wireless access network equipment, include and can get access to the Cell Edge User ratio, and the functional entity of the spectrum efficiency parameter value of each UE of sub-district, and can calculate, the equipment of functions such as data processing such as judgement can be as subject of implementation; System like base station or base station and O&M (Operations & Maintenance, operation and maintenance) equipment composition.
Obviously, when adjustment RSRP threshold value, both can not be in the scope of endless; Also can not in unlimited short scope, implement, always need combine the actual technical scheme of confirming embodiment of the present invention in a period of time in the enforcement, therefore; Set two kinds of time periods using always in the practice among the embodiment, that is, timer T is set in the base station or T1 adjusts the ground cycle as the RSRP threshold value; The T value is bigger value, as: a week; The value of T1 can be smaller a little, as: two days.
In step 201, statistics is in the ratio of this section this Cell Edge User in the time.
In the enforcement; Adopted dual mode to confirm the ratio of Cell Edge User; First kind is that the angle that from the base station, satisfies the UE number of edge customer condition is confirmed ratio, and second kind then is that the angle that from the base station, satisfies the UE time of edge customer condition is confirmed ratio, obviously; Other can confirm in a certain period, have how many UE to be in the edge customer state in a sub-district, and account for what mode of total amount and all can be used to implement.Describing with instance below, is that example describes with T1 in the enforcement, and when obviously being set to T, execution mode is the same; In addition, adopted counter among the embodiment, this considers that this equipment selects for use in the ease for use of the numerical value that is used to calculate the accumulative total stack, can certainly replace with other function components and parts.
The UE number of the edge customer state that is in that 1, occurred in the sub-district and the current UE number sum that is in the edge customer state are with UE number that occurred in the sub-district and the current ratio that is in the UE number sum in the sub-district.
1), central user counter count1 and edge customer counter count2 are set when T1 starts simultaneously, its initial value is set is 0.
2), if UE has been present in the sub-district before T1 starts, then according to CCU/CEU information summary counter count1 or count2 before.
If certain UE inserts this sub-district after T1 starts, then can carry out:, and when initialization, be judged as CCU if certain UE is admitted in T1 according to following mode; Then count1 adds up in the base station; If certain UE is admitted in T1, and is being initialized as CEU, count2 then adds up; Wherein, the initialization decision criteria before the first time, RSRP reported can carry out according to following rule: if switch the user, then be judged as edge customer; If non-switching user then is judged as central user.So traversal T1 time memory is each UE of sub-district.
3), in the time of T1 effect, if the CCU/CEU state of certain UE changes, as becoming edge customer by central user, summary counter count2 then; If become central user by edge customer, summary counter count1 then.
4), overtime as timer T1, obtain the value of summary counter count1 and count2, count2/ (count1+count2) is the edge customer ratio.
2, the UE that occurred in the sub-district is in total duration of edge customer state and total duration sum that the UE in the current area is in the edge customer state, is in the ratio that total duration and the UE in the current area in the sub-district are in the total duration sum in the sub-district with the UE that occurred in the sub-district.
1), in the time range of T1 effect initial center/rim condition of UE in each sub-district of statistics, can adopt with scheme 1 in 2) method carry out initialization.If certain UEi has been judged as CCU at the beginning of T1 starts; Then start the central user timer TC1i of this UE, it is 0 that the TC2i initial value is set simultaneously, if UEi has been judged as CEU at the beginning of T1 starts; Then start the central user timer TC2i of this UE, it is 0 that the TC1i initial value is set simultaneously;
If UEj is for inserting the sub-district and be initialized to CCU after the T1 timer starting; Then start timer TC1j, it is 0 that the TC2j initial value is set simultaneously, if UEj is for inserting the sub-district and be initialized to CEU after the T1 timer starting; Then start timer TC2j, it is 0 that the TC1j initial value is set simultaneously.
2), in the time of T1 effect, if the CCU/CEU state of certain UE changes, then handle in such a way:
If the state of UEi changes CEU into by CCU, then time-out clock TC1i starts timer TC2i, wherein TC2i with before state be that the basis is carried out timing and added up, might not add up since 0;
If the state of UEi changes CEU into by CCU, then time-out clock TC2i starts timer TC1i, wherein TC1i before the basis of state on carry out timing and add up, might not be since 0.
Not necessarily since 0 add up be because this execution mode statistics be total duration that each UE is in each state, when it switches, need add up the total duration under each state respectively between two states.
3), if certain UEi is owing to switching or reason such as conversation end is broken off the service with this sub-district before timer T1 is overtime, then time out accumulator TC1i and TC2i immediately after the service of breaking off with this sub-district;
4), if the T1 timer expiry, then suspend all UE sub-district in timing accumulator TC1i and TC2i, and establish once there was UE in inherence, sub-district T1 in action time the N that adds up to, then can confirm the edge customer ratio according to following formula:
In step 202, statistics obtains the spectrum efficiency distributed intelligence of each UE of sub-district in the spectrum efficiency of this section each UE in the time.
When confirming the spectrum efficiency of each UE of sub-district, can use the number of PRB to confirm the spectrum efficiency of each UE according to bit number and each scheduling that the scheduling times of each UE, each dispatching office pass.
The spectrum efficiency of calculating all UE in timer T1; Spectrum efficiency is defined as under unit bandwidth; The bit number that is transmitted in unit interval, its unit is bit/s/Hz, for the LTE system; The UE spectrum efficiency can go up the average bit number that carries with each PRB that distributes to this UE in the unit (physical resource block, Physical Resource Block) and confirm.So can be through adding up UE in scheduling times and the bit number of each dispatching office biography and the spectrum efficiency that each number of dispatching use PRB is confirmed UE of T1 in action time.
When confirming the spectrum efficiency of said each UE of sub-district, further comprise: after the spectrum efficiency of confirming each UE of sub-district, sorting and add up according to from big to small order obtains the CDF distribution curve of each UE spectrum efficiency Distribution Statistics in the sub-district; That is, after obtaining the spectrum efficiency of UE, sorting and add up according to from big to small order just to obtain the CDF distribution curve of each UE spectrum efficiency Distribution Statistics in the sub-district.
Just can confirm the spectrum efficiency of Cell Edge User ratio and each UE of sub-district by the way; Describe in the face of the embodiment of step 203 down according to the spectrum efficiency adjustment RSRP threshold value of edge customer ratio and each UE of sub-district; In the enforcement, after the RSRP that the RSRP threshold value of adjustment is meant the user reports, itself and a threshold value are compared; Be used for judging that this user is central user or edge customer, this threshold value is exactly the RSRP threshold value of indication among the embodiment.
Selected two parameters of spectrum efficiency of edge customer ratio and UE to adjust the threshold value of RSRP in the enforcement; This is because the inventor notices in the invention process: the important purpose of ICIC is exactly in order to improve the performance of Cell Edge User, and the spectrum efficiency of UE can directly reflect the transmission performance of this UE in the sub-district; The edge customer ratio then is to be obtained by the CCU/CEU discriminating module of ICIC, and it has characterized the assurance that the edge customer what have judged by the ICIC module in the sub-district can come obtained performance through ICIC.
On the other hand; Because the problem that the embodiment of the invention will solve is to give full play to the effect that ICIC improves community marginal user performance through rational setting and adjustment RSRP threshold value; And the edge customer ratio is directly reflecting have how many users improving performance through ICIC in the sub-district; Therefore the spectrum efficiency of the UE transmission performance directly reflecting each UE (i.e. the degree of the performance improvement through Cell Edge User after the effect of ICIC) that distributes adjusts the RSRP threshold value very intuitively with these two parameters in the sub-district.
Describe in the face of concrete enforcement down.
When adjusting the RSRP threshold value, can comprise according to the spectrum efficiency of edge customer ratio and each UE of sub-district:
According to the network practice the first threshold value H1 is set
CEU_ratio, the second threshold T H1
SE, the 3rd threshold T H2
CEU_ratio, the 4th threshold T H2
SE, and first threshold value is less than the 3rd threshold value, and second threshold value is less than the 4th threshold value; At definite TH1
CEU_ratioWith TH2
CEU_ratio, TH1
SEWith TH2
SEDuring four threshold values, be that the practice according to network is provided with, concrete, can confirm through emulation, also can confirm according to the experience of network planning network optimization, can also dispose according to the requirement of operator.For example: the thresholding TH1 of spectrum efficiency
SEWith TH2
SEValue can confirm according to the practical application scene guarantee that the transmission rate of edge customer should reach can which type of value like: operator, like 64k bit/s, obtain the requirement of a spectrum efficiency again according to this rate requirement.
Certainly, more than several kinds of possible modes of confirming these parameters only have been described, but be not limited only to these modes, those skilled in the art only need confirm to get final product according to knowing skill according to the substantial evidence needs of network.
After having confirmed threshold value relatively, when the edge customer ratio is lower than first threshold value, and the spectrum efficiency of each UE of sub-district is when being lower than second threshold value, reduces the threshold value that the cell edge condition is left in the threshold value that gets into the cell edge condition and/or raising; When the edge customer ratio is higher than the 3rd threshold value, and the spectrum efficiency of each UE of sub-district is when being higher than the 4th threshold value, improves the threshold value that the cell edge condition is left in the threshold value that gets into the cell edge condition and/or reduction.
With edge customer ratio and the predefined first threshold T H1
CEU_ratio, the 3rd threshold T H2
CEU_ratioRelatively, with spectrum efficiency distributed intelligence and the predefined spectrum efficiency second threshold T H1 of UE in this section time period T1
SE, the 4th threshold T H2
SERelatively.With spectrum efficiency of cells distributed intelligence in the timing statistics and predefined spectrum efficiency second, can take following mode when the 4th threshold value compares: select for use the spectrum efficiency at x% place the poorest in the spectrum efficiency distribution curve and the threshold value of predefined spectrum efficiency to compare, the representative value of general X% is 5%.Can be 5% to be because in cellular mobile communication networks with the X% value in force, be used as the measurement index of the spectrum efficiency of this Cell Edge User usually with the spectrum efficiency at 5% place of CDF curve, here so the typical value of x% is 5%; But, in theory, also be fine with other value, 5% only is used to instruct specifically embodiment of the present invention how of those skilled in the art, but does not mean and only can use 5% 1 value, can combine demand in practice to confirm corresponding value in the implementation process.
Just can adjust according to above two comparative results and to have made a strategic decision.If the edge customer ratio is lower than the predefined first threshold T H1
CEU_ratioAnd the spectrum efficiency distributed intelligence of UE is lower than the predefined spectrum efficiency second threshold T H1 in the sub-district
SE, then explanation then should be adjusted the RSRP threshold value because the RSRP threshold value is provided with to such an extent that improperly make that sub-district inward flange user ratio is too low, as: the threshold T H1 that reduces the edge entry condition
RSRPAnd/or the threshold T H2 of condition is left in raising
RSRPThereby, can make more edge customer guarantee performances such as its throughput, QoS through ICIC.
If the edge customer ratio is higher than predefined the 3rd threshold T H2
CEU_ratio, common TH1
CEU_ratio≤TH2
CEU_ratio, and the spectrum efficiency distributed intelligence of each UE is higher than predefined the 4th threshold T H2 in the sub-district
SE, common TH1
SE<TH2
SEThen explanation is because the RSRP threshold value is provided with to such an extent that improperly make that too much UE is judged as Cell Edge User, and the performance of this sub-district can guarantee this moment, but because the edge customer ratio is too high and do not meet reality; When this sub-district and neighbor cell interacting load information; Must too much PRB be designated as high interference, be set to 1, thereby cause unnecessary restriction for the resource use of neighbor cell like the HII on the too much PRB, RNTP; Therefore can adjust local area RSRP threshold value, as: the threshold T H1 that improves the edge entry condition
RSRPAnd/or the threshold T H2 of condition is left in reduction
RSRP, make the edge customer ratio reduce, to improve the performance of neighbor cell.
In the practical implementation, can also be set cycle some time; Confirm the spectrum efficiency of interior Cell Edge User ratio of each time cycle and each UE of sub-district; In each time cycle, confirm according to the spectrum efficiency of edge customer ratio and each UE of sub-district whether needs are adjusted the RSRP threshold value in this time cycle; When the time cycle of needs adjustment RSRP threshold value occurs continuously, adjustment RSRP threshold value.
Promptly; When after basis satisfies condition, making a strategic decision; Can adjust according to cycle T, also can be only in the measurement period of the individual T1 of k (k is a positive integer) continuously, satisfy identical condition (as, continuously k statistics all find because the RSRP threshold value be provided with improper making) just trigger to adjust and make a strategic decision.
A kind of concrete execution mode can be to adopt counter to realize; For example: in edge customer ratio that obtains and the sub-district in the spectrum efficiency CDF distribution curve of each UE the spectrum efficiency at 5% place compare with the threshold value of judging in advance, and according to comparative result add up corresponding counter C1 or C2.If user's spectrum efficiency that spectrum efficiency CDF differs from 5% place most in distributing is less than threshold T H1
SE, and the edge customer ratio that obtains is less than threshold T H1
CEU_ratio, accumulator C1 then adds up; If user's spectrum efficiency at 5% place was greater than threshold T H2 during spectrum efficiency CDF distributed
SE, and the edge customer ratio that obtains is higher than threshold T H2
CEU_ratio, summary counter C2 then.Notice that needing only among C1, the C2 has numerical value, just can adjust; But, because the RSRP threshold value often is considered to be in and remains unchanged in one long period, in order to prevent to cause the mistuning of RSRP threshold value whole owing to the shake that reasons such as network is unusual occur; Can C1, C2 be set at greater than just adjusting behind certain number of times (as 3 times); That is,, then judge it is adjustment owing to the RSRP threshold value of normal reason triggerings such as traffic load as all satisfying condition greater than certain number of times (as 3 times) continuously.
Concrete, make a strategic decision according to result relatively: if RSRP threshold T H is explained in accumulator C1>3
RSRPBe provided with too highly, guaranteed indexs such as user throughput, spectrum efficiency through ICIC, but the edge customer ratio be low excessively, should reduce threshold T H
RSRP, make more edge customer guarantee performance index such as its spectrum efficiency, throughput, QoS through ICIC.If RSRP threshold T H is then explained in C2>3
RSRPBe provided with lowly excessively; Though this situation is not as far as having much harms with this sub-district; But bring unnecessary restriction must for the use of neighbor cell resource; As at local area too much PRB being arranged, its HII and RSRP are set to 1, cause the unnecessary reduction of priority when using these PRB of whole users of neighbor cell or edge customer.
In the enforcement; In order further to guarantee the reliability and the necessity of adjustment decision-making; Can when adjusting the RSRP threshold value, further comprise: combine number and/or the Zone information on load of UE in the sub-district to adjust according to the spectrum efficiency of edge customer ratio and each UE of sub-district.
When UE number in further combination timing statistics and traffic load information are adjusted decision-making, as, when satisfying regularization condition; Number in conjunction with UE in the timing statistics; If find that number is less, can think that then statistics can not fully reflect the truth of system, does not trigger adjustment.In addition; Consider that the scene that the too high and spectrum efficiency of edge customer ratio surpasses threshold value can't bring not good influence to the performance of this sub-district; Only possibly cause harmful effect to neighbor cell; If this moment, adjacent Zone load was not high, therefore this influence can clearly can not trigger adjustment yet.
In the enforcement; When having selected two parameters of number of traffic load information and UE to adjust the threshold value of RSRP; Just be used for auxiliary scheme recited above based on the information of traffic load and UE information of number; After introducing these information, help to guarantee to make the validity and the reliability of RSRP threshold value adjustment decision-making.Say certain community user number for another example seldom, it is little to user's in the sub-district performance impact in fact to be ICIC, can guarantee each user's transmission performance this moment fully through dynamic dispatching.Under this scene, carry out RSRP threshold value adjustment and just seem and be not very necessary.Therefore should combine the actual needs of network to use this two conditions in implementing.
For the foregoing reasons, can also adopt other parameter to be used as whether carrying out the supplementary of above-mentioned RSRP adjustment decision-making in the enforcement, might not be confined to above UE number and the traffic load of mentioning.Here enumerated and combined UE number and traffic load information to make RSRP threshold value adjustment decision-making to be integrality, to be to it is also conceivable that in order explaining condition of different increases the accuracy that the RSRP threshold value is adjusted in practical implementation in order to describe.
In the enforcement, can also further contemplate of the influence of adjacent sub-district, can when adjusting the RSRP threshold value, adjust according to one of following information or its combination according to the spectrum efficiency of edge customer ratio and each UE of sub-district to the adjustment of RSRP threshold value:
The spectrum efficiency of the spectrum efficiency of each UE of the traffic load information of neighbor cell, the edge customer ratio of neighbor cell, neighbor cell, the edge customer ratio of neighbor cell and threshold value, neighbor cell and threshold value result relatively.
When considering the factor of adjacent sub-district; The adjustment of each sub-district RSRP threshold value can be carried out in base station side, also can the relevant information of sub-district be reported O&M, is made a policy by information such as O&M combination neighbor cell loads; Again the result is told to the base station, accomplish adjustment by the base station.Wherein the latter needs O&M to participate in, and needs to consider mutual relevant information between standardization base station and the O&M this moment.This relevant information can comprise that the spectrum efficiency of UE in this Cell Edge User ratio, the sub-district distributes; Also can be corresponding dotted or gate limit value result relatively during edge customer ratio and threshold value, spectrum efficiency distribute; Can also be based on the adjustment decision-making that said method makes (as, with entry condition or leave the corresponding RSRP threshold value of condition and raise or reduce several dB).
Select the reason of O&M to be in the enforcement, because the purpose of ICIC is the interference coordination of realizing between the sub-district, and in real network, an O&M manages a lot of sub-districts usually.If need O&M to participate in; Often mean not to be that the inner information in a sub-district just is enough to make a strategic decision; The purpose that O&M participates in is exactly because can obtain out the information of other neighbor cell beyond this sub-district, so that make the lifting of an integrated decision-making with better assurance systematic function.Why select the O&M functional entity also to be, access network equipment has only base station (eNodeB) in the LTE system, and the base station is directly connected to IAD, and O&M itself is exactly an equipment of managing each base station and gateway; That is to say that there is the information of each sub-district the O&M the inside; In view of function, the effect of O&M is an operation management maintain, and the self-optimizing of RSRP threshold value also belongs to a content of operation management maintain.
After the difference of considering above-mentioned execution entity, then can adopt following three kinds of schemes to handle:
Scheme 1, base station adjust the decision-making of RSRP and adjust accordingly, do not need O&M to participate in.
Scheme 2, base station adjust the decision-making of RSRP; And the result that will make a strategic decision (as; This sub-district RSRP threshold value is raised 2dB) report O&M; Whether O&M further adopts this decision-making according to the situation decision of neighbor cell, if the definite decision-making that can adopt the base station to make, then O&M returns the affirmation for decision-making to the base station; If do not adopt, can not return any message and also can return the message that refusal is revised.
Incident and the satisfied number of times of each incident that threshold condition will be satisfied in scheme 3, base station report O&M, and O&M further combines the information of neighbor cell to adjust decision-making, and informing base station adjustment strategy.
Through above-mentioned enforcement, after adjustment is accomplished, just can timer T1 or T be reset in accumulator C1 and C2 zero clearing, begin the monitoring of following one-period then.
Obviously, above embodiment is merely explanation one of this adjustment scheme and gives an example, and anyly utilizes the equipment that the RSRP threshold value is adjusted in spectrum efficiency CDF distributed intelligence in Cell Edge User ratio and the sub-district, can adopt this scheme.This scheme is mainly used in the wireless access network equipment and/or among the O&M.In the practical implementation, accumulator, counter C1 and C2 can be in O&M, also can be in base station side.For the execution of above two kinds of RSRP threshold values adjustment, can all carry out in the base station, can all carry out at O&M, also can in base station and O&M, carry out respectively.
