Below for the network scenarios that HeNB disposes, concrete explanation explanation is carried out to the embodiment of the present invention.
Macro base station, by type 2 (Type2) interface, notifies NM harmony messages.NM processes harmony messages after receiving harmony messages, determines which HeNB needs the sub-frame mode of the HeNB adopting coodination modes and coordination, namely determines which or which HeNB needs which subframe to send data in, which subframe not to send data in.Then, NM sends to HeNB these information, wherein needs through Type2 and Class1 (Type1) interface, because do not have direct interface (having direct interface between NM and eNB) between NM and HeNB.Interface between Macro base station, NM and HeNB as shown in Figure 4.
What the embodiment of the present invention newly added harmony messages in NM administers and maintains function, Macro base station is by Type2 interface notification NM harmony messages, NM processes the harmony messages that Macro base station sends, and determines the coordination sub-frame mode of HeNB, realizes the resources configuration management to HeNB.
In order to realize the management of base station to coordinate scheme, needing to realize determining and sending harmony messages in base station side, and the coordination configuration information received is processed and the function applied.
One, Macro base station is determined harmony messages and is informed NM:
The measurement report that base station receives user equipment (UE) sends, disturbed condition is judged according to this measurement report, and can according to the coordination configuration information from NM of disturbed condition further combined with current storage, determine the harmony messages that current needs send to NM, this harmony messages comprises one of following two kinds of information or combination:
1, need the mark (ID) of coordinated HeNB, and need the coordination sub-frame mode of employing.
2, by the measurement report (ID comprising needing coordinated HeNB) that the UE of signal disturbing sends.
Two, NM carries out the coordinated decision according to the harmony messages received, and sends coordination configuration information to HeNB.
In order to realize NM, the decision-making of harmony messages is upgraded, need the maintenance and management function of adding harmony messages in NM: the harmony messages sent according to the Macro base station received, and other obtainable information, the neighbor cell relation list information of such as each base station, load information, traffic information etc., the harmony messages received is managed, upgrade, finally determine the sub-frame mode needing coordinated HeNB and these HeNB needs to adopt in network, and finally coordination configuration information is sent to corresponding HeNB by Type2 interface and Type1 interface, to realize the semi-static of network or to manage dynamically.
Three, HeNB receives the process after coordinating configuration information:
After HeNB receives the coordination configuration information coming from NM, need to process coordination configuration information.
Base station can according to the channel quality status of this community user and business need etc., the coordination configuration information received is adjusted, and the coordination configuration information after application adjustment, send configuration response information to NM simultaneously, in configuration response information, comprise the coordination configuration information after adjustment.
In addition, base station also can preset a time window, analyzing and processing is carried out to the coordination configuration information coming from NM in time window, determine current coordination configuration information (the coordination configuration information that NM sends, or the coordination configuration information after adjustment), and return configuration response information to NM, comprising current coordination configuration information.That is, base station without the need to all carrying out analyzing and processing to the coordination configuration information received at every turn, the coordination configuration information that can receive in a processing time window.
To sum up, the mutual and handling process of information as shown in Figure 5, comprising:
UE sends measurement report according to measurement event to Macro base station.
Macro base station is according to the content determination harmony messages of measurement report.
Macro base station, by Type2 network management interface language, notifies the harmony messages determined to NM.
The harmony messages that NM sends according to the Macro base station that receives, further can in conjunction with and other obtainable information, determine the coordination sub-frame mode of HeNB and these HeNB needing in network to carry out resource coordination.
NM finally sends to HeNB by Type2 interface coordinating configuration information, realizes the configuration management of the coordination configuration information to HeNB.
After HeNB receives the coordination configuration information coming from NM, coordination configuration information is processed and applied.
