Exemplary embodiment according to mobile radio station 200 of the present invention has been shown in Fig. 2.In this example, mobile radio station 200 is equipped with receiver and the reflector 210 that is used to receive and send data and control information.Naturally, receiver and reflector 210 also can be two independent unit.Further; Mobile radio station 200 can comprise the first module 220 that is used for monitoring wireless communication network 100 activity, and it can detect whether another mobile radio station is sending data, operating in the standby mode perhaps such as in sleep pattern in the cordless communication network 100.Communicate by letter with transmitter unit 210 with the receiver in mobile radio station 200 in this unit 220.
Mobile radio station 200 can comprise also and be used for detecting second unit 230 in the conflict of cordless communication network 100 that it is connected to receiver and reflector 210 and the first module 220 that is used for monitoring wireless communication network 100 activity.An example that detects conflict can be when when base station 110 transfer resources keep request message, not receiving replying from base station 110; And do not receive grant of resources message or when sending RTS (request is sent) message, still fail to receive CTS (clear to send) message from base station 110.Second unit 230 can be responsible for issuing conflicting information message or follow the issue of conflicting information message to wait for and be registered in the scope at the fixed time up to several such conflicts in this case.
Mobile radio station 200 can comprise additional the 3rd unit 240 that is used for when communicating by letter with base station 110, measuring the CQI (CQI) on the radio channel.Any parameter of the signal of 110 receptions from the base station can be measured in such unit; It characterizes channel quality; For example SINR (Signal Interference and Noise Ratio), RSSI (reception signal strength indicator), ISI (intersymbol interference), perhaps calculate from these parameters more than one CQI.The 3rd unit 240 is suitable for postbacking CQI via receiver and reflector 210 to the base station then.Activity monitor unit 220 can also be connected to CQI unit 240.Depend on that how carrying out CQI measures, it possibly also provide the information of some relevant activity.
Finally, mobile radio station 200 can also comprise transmission buffer 250, wherein stores the data that will be transmitted at once.
Turn to Fig. 3 now, be suggested according to the embodiment of base station 300 of the present invention.The mobile radio station 200 of similar Fig. 2, base station 300 comprise and are used to receive data and control information and send the receiver and the reflector 310 of data and control information to mobile radio station and other base stations.In this example, base station 300 only comprises a receiver and reflector 310, but its can comprise with being equal to be used to receive with the transmission diversity purpose more than one receiver and reflector.
Additionally, base station 300 can comprise the first module 320 that is used for monitoring wireless communication network 100 activity, and for example, it can detect in cordless communication network 100 one or the state of multiple mobile station more via receiver and reflector 310.These states can be transmit, a certain other states that free time or sleep or mobile radio station possibly be in.
Additionally, the base station can comprise second unit 330 of the conflict that is used for detecting communication network.This unit is connected to receiver and reflector 310; Also possibly be connected to the first module 320 that is used for monitoring wireless communication network 100 activity; When one or when more multiple mobile station conflicts in cordless communication network 100 this unit have the function of detection; And possibly be established to the orthogonal channel of these mobile radio stations, they can transmit their radio resource reservation request via this orthogonal channel.This will explain after this specification in more detail.
Except first and second unit 320 and 330, base station 300 can also comprise the 3rd unit 340 of the parameter that is used for the channel quality on definite expression radio channel.Be similar to the 3rd unit 240 in the mobile radio station 200 among Fig. 2; This unit can pass through measurement parameter; For example SINR, ISI, the decay on radio channel come the calculating channel quality, perhaps through to one or more multiple mobile station send test massage and confirm that according to the response of said one or more mobile radio stations these parameters come certain other parameter of represents channel quality.Another possibility can be to from one or more the data-signal that receives of multiple mobile station come directly to carry out measurement.Use to one or the measurement parameter of multiple mobile station more in the cordless communication network, one or the more conflict of multiple mobile station or the possibility of conflict can be confirmed in cordless communication network 100 in second unit 330.
In addition, second unit 320 that is used for monitoring wireless communication system activity is connected to third and fourth unit 330 and 340 that is used for detecting the conflict of cordless communication network and is used for confirming the parameter of the channel quality on the expression radio channel.
What can add is that first, second can also be integrated in the independent unit with the 3rd unit 320,330 and 340.Integrated advantage can be can save the space on the chip if said units is structured on the IC.Similarly, first, second in the mobile radio station 200 also can be integrated in the independent unit with above-mentioned same mode with the 3rd unit 220,230 and 240.
Turn to Fig. 4 now, flow chart has been set forth the method step of first embodiment according to the method for the invention, wherein based on the problem on the scheduling channel of competition the time, plays an active part confirming from the base station 110 of Fig. 1.
In step 400, for example keep watch on based on the traffic on the schedule request channel of competition from the base station of Fig. 1 110 base station.Any mobile radio station is allowed to send at any time the dispatch request that need be used to transmit the radio resource of data for it on this channel.Supervision based on the channel of competing can comprise the CQI (CQI) of detection from each mobile radio station in the overlay area 130 of base station 110.
Additionally, base station 110 can be detected the power of the data-signal that receives from each mobile radio station and measure the decay on the radio channel.Use is from the power of mobile radio station reception and measured decay, and the Power Limitation of mobile radio station can be determined.Power Limitation means because the decay on the radio link; Mobile radio station only can increase transmitting power up to a certain maximum transmit power limit; This causes this maximum power to be not enough to transmit the situation of such signal under the situation of height decay, and this signal is detected by base station 110 with target SIR.
Can be based on the load on the radio link by other parameters of base station monitoring; Promptly there is how much percentage available bandwidth to be used for the transfer of data of mobile radio station of the overlay area of base station 110; And based on the activity of mobile radio station or base station 110, if promptly mobile radio station or base station are in transmission, free time, standby mode or a certain other activity patterns.
If in step 410; If the parameter of the expression channel quality of above-mentioned collection drop to be lower than a certain predefine threshold value or from one of the data of these calculation of parameter indication or more multiple mobile station with the sub-district 130 of first base station 110 the competition of other mobile radio stations in when problem is arranged, the mobile radio station of the corresponding Power Limitation of 110 decision polls in step 420 base station.By this way, orthogonal resource is assigned to these mobile radio stations, above that they can with base station communication.
Now, if step 430 by one of poll or more multiple mobile station have the data will be to base station 110 transmission, then in step 440, base station 110 on the orthogonal uplink resource from one or manyly received the radio resource dispatch request by the mobile radio station of poll.
If all do not had data to transmit by the mobile radio station of poll in addition, then in step 420 base station once more one of poll or more before the multiple mobile station in step 432 base station waits predetermined amount of time.
In step 440, base station 110 receives the scheduling of resource request from one or more being detected as at the problematic mobile radio station of channel competition based on competition more on the orthogonal resource of new assignment.
Next, in step 450, from one or more the scheduling of resource request of multiple mobile station permitted, thereby be the transfer of data reservation of resource of those mobile radio stations.
At last, in step 460, the data from the mobile radio station transmission on the radio resource of scheduling are received, and the supervision of step 400 based on the channel of competition got back in base station 110 subsequently.
What can mention here is that flow chart among Fig. 4 has been set forth a circulation according to first embodiment of the inventive method.Equally, this flow chart has only been described in the base station 110 and one or the part communication of more relevant first embodiment according to the inventive method between the multistation.Except 400 keep watch on based on the traffic on the channel of competition, the base station is also sent data and is received data from other mobile radio stations to other mobile radio stations, other mobile radio stations collision problem not on based on the channel of competition.
Fig. 5 has set forth step according to a second embodiment of the method according to the invention, and it has done to revise a little to the method among Fig. 4.
In step 500, be similar to first embodiment among Fig. 4, the parameter of expression based on the quality on the schedule request channel of competition kept watch in base station 110.
If have mobile radio station to be detected as that competition has problem on based on the channel of competition in step 510, then in step 520, these mobile radio stations by base station 110 non-based on the schedule request channel of competition on the lasting scheduling of assignment permit.By this way, the direct access communication channel between problematic mobile radio station and the base station is established on based on the channel of competition.These mobile radio stations no longer need have its dispatch request of mobile radio station competition of more favourable transmission conditions with other.
If, on the other hand, do not detect the mobile radio station of conflict in step 510 base station 110, then it abides by the data that common program is permitted the scheduling of resource request and transmitted from (mobile radio station) in step 514 reception to mobile radio station in step 512.Thereafter, base station 110 turns back to step 500, i.e. monitoring channel mass parameter again.
In step 530, base station 110 is in order to keep watch on the scheduling channel of allowance from the periodic scheduling request of the mobile radio station that has been assigned lasting scheduling allowance.
If in step 540, dispatch request is received by base station 110 on lasting scheduling channel, then one or more multiple mobile station be assigned radio resource in step 550.
At last, in step 560, from one or more the transfer of data of multiple mobile station received by base station 110, base station 110 turns back to the channel monitoring step of step 500 subsequently.Certainly, the base station is not only kept watch on the channel based on competition passively, but also receives data and transmit data to mobile radio station from mobile radio station, and these mobile radio stations do not experience the conflict in the cordless communication network 100.
Fig. 6 has set forth method step according to a third embodiment of the method according to the invention.Here, the embodiment of this method is from being understood based on the angle of the mobile radio station competed of scheduling of resource request channel of competition.
In step 600, one or more multiple mobile station (B) to base station 110 scheduling resources transmitted requests.
In following step 610, said one or more multiple mobile station 110 receive from the base station as the grant of resources of responding.
Simultaneously, in step 620 said one or the situation on the multiple mobile station monitor uplink channel more.
If in step 630; It knows the difficult transmission conditions on radio link; Be that they experience conflict continually on based on the channel of competing, the data that they select to transmit on up link with its hope in step 640 " are incidentally transmitted " dispatch request together.This dispatch request of incidentally transmitting comprises the resource request of the following radio resource demand that is used to suppose, in case they are required.
Here it is worth mentioning that when the transmission buffer of in question mobile radio station is sky incidentally the dispatch request of transmission is published.Requested resource can be only to support the so little size of the transmission of future scheduling request.The base station can be come being ready to use in these requests of following quadrature dispatch request resource to be different from the common dispatch request that is used for transfer of data, promptly through before permitting asking to its user with empty transmission buffer of report, allowing bigger delay.Opposite, incidentally the dispatch request of transmission only just is sent out when the transmission buffer of mobile radio station comprises the data that are sent out in prior art system.
In addition, if one or more multiple mobile station up link based on the schedule request channel of competition on without successive what conflict, then they continue to base station 110 their data of transmission in step 680.
Then, in step 650, mobile radio station B receives the grant of resources from base station 110.
In following step 660, and before sending any data to base station 110, said one or more the multiple mobile station inspection its whether have data to send.
Under the situation that does not have data to send, in step 670, mobile radio station sends for its scheduling of resource request in the resource that possibly need in the future again.Here should also be mentioned that; Since this moment one or more multiple mobile station do not have data to send; It can select to send the scheduling of resource request message with different message format, because need be included in amount of information in the resource request message less than the normal condition that will send as data.About the information of buffer state and data priority is unwanted under the situation that does not have data in transmission buffer.
Yet if there are data to send, mobile radio station continues to base station 110 transmission data in step 680.
After this, all processes turn back to initial step 600.
Yet it should be noted that; It also is possible and known when mobile radio station can not empty transmission buffer through the resource of using current allowance, using the resource request of incidentally transmission in the prior art, and no matter whether collision problem is arranged on uplink channel.One or more multiple mobile station have under the situation that more multidata will be transmitted, it can always select in current transmission, to add dispatch request.Because it is faster and have more robustness, so do like this.Yet, with respect to known technology, be transmitted, and this step is only being carried out based on the mobile radio station of the collision problem on the schedule request channel of competition by experience in step 670 dispatch request when transmission buffer is sky.
Yet note; Usually at one or exist before more multiple mobile station turns back to step 600 and be used for one or the time slot of multiple mobile station more because in this embodiment according to the method for the invention when having the data that will send to base station 110 one of step 600 or more multiple mobile station with transmission resource request only.
Additionally; One or more multiple mobile station can add the priority flag (not shown) to the scheduling of resource request; Wherein this priority flag can indicate when base station 110 to one or more during the resource of multiple mobile station allocation schedule, one or more multiple mobile station with the actual probability that has data to send.
Some mobile radio stations send priority flags together with they the scheduling of resource request some then can not be equal feasible like this.By this way, base station 110 can postpone then those scheduling of resource requests are not comprised one of priority flag or the grant of resources of multiple mobile station more, promptly give their low priorities, and be more prone to have the scheduling of resource request of priority flag.At first when all scheduling of resource requests that have a priority flag have been processed, the base station begins to permit from those or the more multiple mobile station scheduling of resource request that does not have priority flag of sending.Yet, when the load on the uplink radio channels is high, will need the longer time to receive grant of resources from mobile radio station 110 for those mobile radio stations.
Fig. 7 is one or the angle of the multiple mobile station method step of having set forth the method for a fourth embodiment in accordance with the invention more from cordless communication network 100.
Be similar to previous embodiment, step 700 said one or more multiple mobile station keep watch in up link based on the traffic cases on the channel of competition.
If in step 710; One or more multiple mobile station detect it and arrive base station 110 and have any problem; And it conflicts on the channel of being everlasting based on competition, then step 720 said one or more multiple mobile station wait for that predefined time quantum is with by base station 110 contact and assignment orthogonal uplink channels.
In addition, if do not carry out with communicating by letter of base station 110 with conflicting, then step 714 said one or more multiple mobile station send the scheduling of resource requests to base station 110.In step 716, one or more the multiple mobile station receiving scheduling permit and give base station 110 with its transfer of data in step 760.
Now, if be exceeded at the predefined time quantum of step 730, less than the poll from base station 110, it possibly not take place owing to multiple reason, in step 732 said one or more multiple mobile station transmission scheduling of resource request on RACH (RACH).Then, in step 734, said one or more multiple mobile station receive from the scheduling of resource of base station 734 and permit and continue to base station 110 transmission data in step 760.
Because the for example high capacity on the uplink scheduled channel or owing to from other dispatch request of the mobile radio station that the higher priority traffic will send is arranged, base station be the user that on the channel based on competition, conflicts of poll not.
Equally, RACH should be designed so that allow all users to send its dispatch request.Usually, more much lower at the collision probability on the RACH than being designed on other channels that send scheduling of resource request or data based on competition.In addition, the amount of radio resources of RACH is low and the random accessing message number usually much smaller than other based on competitive channel on the scheduling request information number.
If, on the other hand, one or more multiple mobile station during predefined latency time period, receive message really from the base station, then said one or more multiple mobile station on the quadrature scheduling channel that keeps by the base station, send resource request in step 740 to base station 110.
In step 750, one or more multiple mobile station before 110 receive scheduling of resource and permit from the base station on the quadrature scheduling channel mentioned.
At last, in step 760, said one or more multiple mobile station to its data of base station 110 transmission, subsequently one or more multiple mobile station turn back to monitoring step 700.
Turn to Fig. 8 now, the method step of method is according to a fifth embodiment of the invention set forth.
Here, be similar to some previous embodiment, at step 800 base station monitoring uplink scheduling request channel according to the inventive method.
In step 810, base station 110 from one or more multiple mobile station receive data.If intactly and correctly received in step 820 transfer of data, then base station 110 forces said one or more mobile radio stations that has successfully transmitted its data postpone any other transfer of data and resource request is transmitted the predefined time cycle in step 840.
This predefined time cycle or stand-by period can be to depend on system load qualitative parameter really, or also can be stochastic variables, and wherein, for example under the situation that system load can be characterized by Gaussian distribution, mean value and variance depend on system load.Stand-by period can be broadcasted on down link or can directly it be signaled to each mobile radio station of being discussed by base station 110.
As interchangeable, base station 110 can be calculated for one or more successful stand-by period of each and send it to the mobile radio station of being discussed via the control channel (not shown) in the mobile radio station of base station 110 its data of transmission.
Interchangeable as another, base station 110 can be reinstated stand-by period parameter and the ACK/NACK that is used to control uplink HARQ (mixed automatic repeat request) that on downlink channel, sends (confirming/unconfirmed) signaling one signal and send.This will guarantee that system always is useful on the available resources of transmitting and scheduling request on the nonopiate resource based on competition.
If in the overlay area of base station 110 one or more the transfer of data of multiple mobile station is unsuccessful, base station 110 in step 830 to one that is discussed or more multiple mobile station issue ARQ (the automatic repetitive requests of ARQ-) order.Then, said one or more multiple mobile station transmit its data again in step 810.
At last; In step 850; For one or more the multiple mobile station latency time period over and done with after, base station 110 receives by the data of these mobile radio stations transmission and turns back to monitoring step 800, wherein it is kept watch on based on the traffic cases on the channel of competition again.
Naturally, the method step of in Fig. 8, describing has only been described the piecemeal activity of base station 110, except keep watch on channel in step 800, also comprise based on competition from cordless communication network 100 one or more multiple mobile station receive data and to its transmission data.
Fig. 9 has set forth the 6th embodiment that illustrates according to the inventive method and has depended in the radio communication one or the flow chart of the step taked of the path loss scheduling resource of multiple mobile station more.
In step 900, base station monitoring is based on the uplink channel of competition.Then, in step 910, the path loss of each mobile radio station is calculated in base station 110, and the base station receives data from this mobile radio station.The path loss of mobile radio station can be the decay of on 110 path from the mobile radio station to the base station, having experienced from the signal of corresponding mobile radio station that for example is defined as the dB form.For the base station can estimating path loss, it need be known mobile radio station and on which power, transmits.This information possibly be sent out with the scheduling of resource request together.
If, in step 920, one or more the path loss of multiple mobile station be higher than a certain predefine value, then these mobile radio stations are gathered in the so-called competition group.In this example, be placed in " high path loss group " and at the mobile radio station that step 930 has the path loss that is higher than a certain threshold value and be placed in " low path loss group " at the remaining mobile radio station of step 925.Here should also be mentioned that mobile radio station can be divided into more than two competition groups and can have that path loss with mobile radio station compares more than one threshold value.
In step 940; Base station 110 is the nonopiate schedule request channel of each competition group assignment; In this case; It can be that a schedule request channel is used for " high path loss group " and a schedule request channel is used for " low path loss group ", and gives each relevant mobile radio station with this message transmission.By this way, each mobile radio station in the overlay area 120 of base station 110 will be known it and belong to which competition group and which scheduling of resource channel it should use when sending its scheduling of resource request.
Next, in step 950, base station 110 is from being assigned to first or second one of the mobile radio station receiving scheduling request based on the group of competition.
After this, in step 960, whether base station 110 one of verification or the more multiple path loss of the mobile radio station of dispatch request of sending change from the measurement of obtaining in step 920.
If path loss changes, then in step 965 base station with one or more multiple mobile station be assigned to another competition group and will dispatch and permit being transferred to one or multiple mobile station more in step 967.
After this, in step 980, base station 110 receives from one or the data of multiple mobile station transmission more.
Yet; If the path loss of confirming one or the more multiple mobile radio station that send dispatch request in step 960 base station 110 since on has not once measured and has changed in step 920, then in step 970 base station 110 to request scheduling permit said one or more the multiple mobile station issue be somebody's turn to do allowance.
At last, in step 980, base station 110 receives from the data of or more multiple mobile station transmission and turns back to monitoring step 900.By this way, being positioned at the Power Limitation user of cell edge maybe be only also be Power Limitation with most probable and is positioned at or conflicts near the user of cell edge.
What should add is except keeping watch on based on the channel of competing in step 900, and base station 110 is also from one or more mobile radio station reception data (not shown) that is not conflicting at the channel based on competition.
What can also add is; Said method embodiment is specially adapted to realize that through the computer program that is stored in the computer storage said memory promptly is that RAM (random access memory), ROM (read-only memory), EEPROM (EEPROM) or a certain other are applicable to the memory of storage computation machine program product.The computer program of realizing the method step of said method embodiment can be stored on the storage medium with being equal to, and for example CD-ROM, DVD, hard disk or any other are applicable to the medium of storage.
At last, should also be mentioned that the above embodiment of the present invention only for illustrative purposes and the present invention only limit the scope of the claim of enclosing.
