Abstract
Description

From the early stage of cellular mobile communication, the concept of dividing the communication coverage into cells, to the current stage of the introduction of the next generation 4G system, the interference problem has emerged as the most important issue among technical problems.
Conventional cellular systems have managed this interference problem by centralized control, but with the introduction of femtocells and next-generation 4G systems, the network structure of mobile communication systems has changed to a multi-layered structure, and the number of objects to be managed by the system is geometric. The increase in water supply has resulted in an environment where centralized management is fundamentally impossible.
In addition, when neighboring base stations transmit data using the same frequency band, the terminal located at the cell boundary may be interfered by the beam index used by the neighboring cell terminal located at the boundary of the neighboring cell. For example, the direction of the beamforming vector used by the base station A to transmit data to the terminal A located at the cell boundary using the

1 is a diagram for explaining a signal processing method of a base station that performs beamforming through cooperation between base stations in a multi-cell system related to an embodiment of the present invention. The term "cell" may be used herein to mean "base station ".
As shown, the wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a plurality of base stations (
The illustrated wireless communication system considers an environment in which a plurality of base stations interfere with each other. Accordingly, in order to efficiently control the interference signal between base stations, the base station may process the signal by performing coordination between the base stations. The signal processing may include designing a transmission filter by performing beamforming.
Beamforming is a technique in which a beam of an antenna is reflected only to a corresponding terminal by a method of a smart antenna. The smart antenna may be implemented using a plurality of antennas to increase efficiency. A vector applied to a transmission symbol for beamforming may be referred to as a beamforming vector.
The beamforming vector may be expressed by v i , k . v i , k denotes a beamforming vector for the k-th user in the i-th base station. In addition, h k , i denotes a channel response coefficient between the i base station and the k receiving terminal.
Hereinafter, an environment in which two base stations interfere with each other will be described as an example. That is, it will be described on the assumption that the two base stations cooperate with each other. In addition, it is assumed that there is one receiving terminal corresponding to each base station. In addition, it is assumed that the base station also knows the signal information of the receiving terminal corresponding to itself and the signal information of the receiving terminal corresponding to another base station (hereinafter, referred to as a "cooperative base station").
In an environment in which two base stations BS 1 and BS K interfere with each other, a received signal at a k-th receiving terminal may be expressed by
On the other hand, if k represents the k-th base station in the following equation,
Used as a symbol for cooperating base stations. For example, if k = 1 in an environment where two base stations interfere with each other, = 2 and k = 2, = 1.
Is a received signal at the kth receiving terminal, Denotes the power used by the i-th
In addition, JP denotes a joint processing environment, and a joint processing environment refers to an environment in which message signals to be transmitted are shared between base stations. h k and i denote channel information between the i base station and the k receiving terminal, and v i and k denote beamforming vectors for the k th user in the i th base station. In addition, H means Hermitian transpose. S k means a message signal to be transmitted to the k-th receiving terminal. In addition, n k represents a noise signal.

here,
A weight assigned to the k-th receiving terminal, which means a factor related to priority. The weight may be determined by information on data usage and information on service quality. The information on the data usage amount is information on data usage used by the k-th receiving terminal, and may include information on usage amount for a predetermined period. In addition, the information on the quality of service means information on the quality of service required by the receiving terminal. For example, the service required by the receiving terminal may include a video transmission, a voice call request, and the like.For example, suppose a receiving terminal requesting video transmission has a receiving terminal that performs only a voice call. In this case, a higher weight may be assigned to a receiving terminal requesting video transmission than a receiving terminal performing only a voice call.
In a multi-cell system, an optimal beamforming vector may be a beamforming vector that maximizes a weighted sum-rate of a weighted receiver terminal.
Hereinafter, a method and apparatus for calculating a beamforming vector for maximizing a weighted sum-rate of a receiving terminal in consideration of weight will be described in detail.

Once fixed (ie, assumed to be a constant), the beamforming vector can be determined such that the virtual signal-to-interference noise ratio has a maximum value. The beamforming vector thus obtained may be expressed as in
N 0 means the average power of the noise signal added to each receiving terminal antenna.
As represented by
In operation S420, the
When the interference specific gravity adjustment coefficient is determined in the above manner, the interference specific gravity adjustment coefficient may be expressed as a function of the beamforming vector.
The
For example, the interference density control coefficient expressed as a function of the beamforming vector is applied to the beamforming vector expressed as a function of the interference density control coefficient to update the beamforming vector, and the updated beamforming vector is applied to the beamforming vector. The interference density control coefficient may be updated by applying the interference density control coefficient expressed as a function. The beamforming vector and the interference density control coefficient update process may be repeatedly performed to obtain an optimal beamforming vector.
For example, when the current updated beamforming vector and the previously updated beamforming vector are within a threshold value, the current updated beamforming vector may be determined as an optimal beamforming vector to be applied to the base station.

In the graph shown, Proposed VSINR centralized considers global channel information, and Proposed VSINR decentralized considers only local channel information. Proposed VSINR centralized and Proposed VSINR decentralized are superior to other cases.
As described above, the signal processing method and apparatus of the wireless base station according to an embodiment of the present invention can calculate the optimal beamforming vector in consideration of the weight of the receiving terminal. In addition, by calculating the beamforming vector using the sum of the data rate and the virtual signal to interference noise ratio including the interference specificity adjustment coefficient and the beamforming vector as variables, complexity of the operation may be reduced.
