Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to a wireless communication system, and in particular, to a method and apparatus for allocating radio resources in a wireless communication system.
- FIG. 1 schematically illustrates the frequency reuse concept in a general cellular communication system.
- a frequency resource Fl used in a first cell 100 with a radius R is reused in another cell with a radius R, i.e., a second cell 150, which is spaced apart from the center of the first cell 100 by a distance D, and this is called frequency reuse .
- a Frequency Reuse Factor (FRF) K is defined that one same frequency resource, or frequency band, is reused in units of K cells.
- a subchannel reuse pattern algorithm can be configured so that Mobile Stations
- MSs Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio
- SINR Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio
- each cell or sector operates in a zone where a fraction of subchannels are available (hereinafter referred to as a 'segmented zone').
- frequency allocation for Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) report should be updated according to the zone to which the MS belongs. For example, if the MS belongs to the all- subchannel zone, its Carrier to Interference and Noise Ratio (CINR) is measured based on FRF-I configuration, and if the MS belongs to the segmented zone, its CINR is measured based on FRF-3 configuration.
- CQI Channel Quality Indicator
- the start Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) symbol offset and the size of the segmented zone and/or all- subchannel zone should be synchronized between all neighbor Base Stations (BSs). It means that the dynamic zone allocation based on the number of MSs, network load and interference condition is not possible by a single BS without communication and synchronization with the neighbor BSs.
- OFDMA Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access
- the conventional subchannel reuse pattern algorithm sets a lower boundary or threshold to change the subchannel zone when CINR of MSs, to which the all- subchannel zone is allocated, is lower than or equal to the boundary or threshold; sets an upper boundary or threshold to change the subchannel zone when CINR of MSs, to which the segmented zone is allocated, is higher than or equal to the boundary or threshold; and checks if CINR of the MSs belonging to each zone is within the boundaries.
- CINR of an MS in the all- subchannel zone is lower than or equal to a predetermined first threshold, the MS will be moved (switched) to the segmented zone. On the contrary, if CINR of an MS in the segmented zone is higher than or equal to a predetermined second threshold, the MS will be moved to the all-subchannel zone. When the zone to which the MS belongs is changed, the CINR measurement will also be changed according to the zone. If the MS moves from the all-subchannel zone to the segmented zone, its CINR is measured based on FRF-3 configuration. However, if the MS moves from the segmented zone to the all-subchannel zone, its CINR is measured based on FRF-I configuration. To this end, the BS sends a CQI Channel (CQICH) Allocation Information Element (IE) message to the MS.

- FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a structure of a radio resource allocation apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the radio resource allocation apparatus for frequency reuse according to the present invention includes a condition determiner 210, a CQI report requester 220 and a zone decider 230.
- the condition determiner 210 determines if a CINR value of a CQI report received from an MS corresponds to a predetermined condition. That is, the condition determiner 210 determines if a first CQI report value reported through a CQI channel for a subchannel zone that uses a first frequency reuse factor corresponds to a predetermined condition. For example, if the MS is allocated in a subchannel zone that uses FRF-I, the condition determiner 210 determines if a CINR value of a CQI report received through a CQI channel for the FRF-I corresponds to a predetermined condition.
- the predetermined condition represents the case where if the first frequency reuse factor is 1 or FRF-I, a CINR value of the first CQI report is less than a lower CINR threshold, and if the first frequency reuse factor is 3 or FRF-3, a CINR value of the first CQI report is greater than an upper CINR threshold.
- a CINR value of the first CQI report can fall within a CINR range which is set according to a predetermined MCS level table.
- the CQI report requester 220 when the CINR value corresponds to the predetermined condition, requests the MS to send through the CQI channel a second CQI report for a subchannel zone that uses a second frequency reuse factor. For example, when an MS is in the FRF-I subchannel zone and a CINR value of the CQI is less than the lower CINR threshold, the CQI report requester 220 requests the MS to send a CQI report for FRF-3 through a CQI channel.
- the zone decider 230 decides whether to allocate the subchannel zone that uses the second frequency reuse factor, based on the CQI reports.
- the subchannel zone allocation can be applied when it alternately uses the first frequency reuse factor and the second frequency reuse factor on a frame-by-frame basis, or uses them in each frame in a mixed manner.
- the zone decider 230 checks if CINR of an MS belonging to an MS
- FRF- 1 zone is in a predetermined range centered on a predetermined first threshold, or if CINR of an MS belonging to an FRF-3 zone is in a predetermined range centered on a predetermined second threshold. If it is checked that the CINR of the MS is in a predetermined range centered on the first threshold or the second threshold, the zone decider 230 allocates one more CQICH to the MS so that the MS can measure and report CINR for FRF-I and CINR for FRF-3. Thereafter, if a CINR value reported from the MS exceeds (crosses) the first threshold or the second threshold, the zone decider 230 moves the frequency reuse factor zone. The movement of the FRF-I and FRF-3 zones happens when CINR of an MS belonging to FRF-I is less than the first threshold, or happens when CINR of an MS belonging to FRF-3 is greater than the second threshold.
- FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a radio resource allocation method according to an embodiment of the present invention. An operation of the radio resource allocation apparatus for frequency reuse, shown in FIG. 2, will be described with reference to FIG. 3.
- the radio resource allocation apparatus receives a first CQI report through a CQI channel for a subchannel zone that uses a first frequency reuse factor (Step S310).
- the radio resource allocation apparatus checks if an MS that is making the first CQI report satisfies a predetermined condition (Step S320). If the MS satisfies the predetermined condition, the radio resource allocation apparatus receives, from the MS, a second CQI report even for a subchannel zone that uses a second frequency reuse factor (Step S330).
- the radio resource allocation apparatus allocates a subchannel zone that uses the second frequency reuse factor (Step S350).
- the radio resource allocation apparatus receives CINRl of the MS through the condition determiner 210 (Step S310), and checks if the CINR value is in a predetermined Range 1 centered on a predetermined first threshold (Step S320). That is, the radio resource allocation apparatus checks if the CINRl has arrived near the first threshold. This is to previously measure CINR for FRF-3 before performing zone switching, on the assumption that there is high possibility that the CINRl will arrive at the first threshold.
- the radio resource allocation apparatus receives CINR2 of the MS through the condition determiner 210 (Step S310), and checks if the CINR value is in a predetermined Range2 centered on a predetermined second threshold (Step S320). That is, the radio resource allocation apparatus checks if the CINR2 has arrived near the second threshold. Similarly, this is to previously measure CINR for FRF- 1 before performing zone switching, on the assumption that there is high possibility that the CINR2 will arrive at the second threshold.
- the radio resource allocation apparatus allocates CQICH to an MS whose CINR is in the Range 1 or the Range2, orders the MS to measure CINRl for FRF-I and CINR2 for FRF- 3 and to report the result to the BS, and receives the report by means of the CQI report requester 220 (Step S330).
- the measurement of CINRl and CINR2 can be performed by allocating one more CQICH to the MS.
- the radio resource allocation apparatus changes the current frequency reuse factor zone to another frequency reuse factor zone by means of the zone decider 230 (Step S350). That is, when CINRl of the MS belonging to FRF-I is less than the first threshold, the MS moves to the FRF-3 zone, and if CINR2 of the MS belonging to FRF-3 is greater than the second threshold, the MS moves to the FRF-I zone.
- the radio resource allocation apparatus orders the MS to temporarily measure both of the two CQICHs. In this manner, even though the zone is changed, it is possible to reduce the time required for setting an MCS level to a proper value, and since the MS temporarily allocates CQICHs, it is possible to prevent a waste of CQICH resources as compared with a method of always allocating two CQICHs.
- the subchannel zone allocation can be applied when it alternately uses the first frequency reuse factor and the second frequency reuse factor on a frame- by-frame basis, or uses them in each frame in a mixed manner.
- the radio resource allocation apparatus can estimate frequency efficiency for each subchannel zone. Further, as to the predetermined condition, a CINR value of the first CQI report can fall within a CINR range which is set according to a predetermined MCS level table.
- FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating a structure of a radio resource allocation apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention.
- the radio resource allocation apparatus for frequency reuse includes a switching region setter 410, a region determiner/CQI report requester 420, and a zone decider 430.
- the switching region setter 410 sets a zone switching region according to a CINR threshold difference between MCS levels for subchannel zone switching. More specifically, the switching region setter 410 sets, as a switching region, the interval where a difference in CINR threshold between MCS levels is small when the MS moves from the FRF- 1 zone to the FRF-3 zone. On the contrary, when the MS moves from the FRF-3 zone to the FRF-I zone, the switching region setter 410 sets, as a switching region, the interval where a difference in CINR threshold between MCS levels is large.
- the reasons are as follows. When the MS moves from the FRF-I zone to the FRF-3 zone, a CINR gain of about 8 dB is obtained on average. Therefore, if CINR thresholds for MCSs are close to each other, a high MCS level gain is obtained, and in the opposite case, the CINR thresholds should be separated far away from each other, in order to reduce the loss due to the MCS level.
- the region determiner/CQI report requester 420 determines if the region corresponds to the set region based on a first CQI report received from an MS through a CQI channel for a first subchannel zone that uses a first frequency reuse factor, and if the region corresponds to the set switching region, the region determiner/CQI report requester 420 requests a second CQI report for a second subchannel zone that uses a second frequency reuse factor. For example, if the MS belongs to an FRF-I zone, the region determiner/CQI report requester 420 determines if a CINR value of a CQI report for the channel received from the MS through a CQI channel for the zone belongs to the switching region. If it is determined that the CINR value belongs to the switching region, the region determiner/CQI report requester 420 allocates CQICH for a FRF-3 zone and requests a CQI report of the FRF-3 zone.
- the zone decider 430 decides based on the CQI reports whether to allocate the second subchannel zone from at least one of a spectral efficiency for each subchannel zone and a resource utilization of each subchannel zone. For example, assuming that a zone is decided depending on the spectral efficiency of each subchannel zone, if an MS is allocated in the FRF- 1 zone, the zone decider 430 calculates and compares spectral efficiencies for FRF-I and FRF-3. If the FRF-I zone is higher than the FRF-3 zone in the spectral efficiency as a result of the comparison, the MS is moved to the FRF-3 zone.
- the zone decider 430 allocates MSs in another zone in ascending order of a loss of the spectral efficiency. That is, as the spectral efficiency appears to be high only for the MSs in the FRF-3 zone, the MSs are allocated only in the FRF-3 zone, and if no MSs are allocated in the FRF-I zone, the FRF-3 zone suffers from a lack of the resource and resource waste occurs in the FRF-I zone.
- FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a radio resource allocation method according to an embodiment of the present invention. An operation of the radio resource allocation apparatus for frequency reuse, shown in FIG. 4, will be described with reference to FIG. 5.
- the radio resource allocation apparatus sets a switching region by means of the switching region setter 410 (Step S500). For example, when an MS moves from an FRF-I zone to an FRF-3 zone, the radio resource allocation apparatus sets, as a switching region, the interval where a difference in CINR threshold between MCS levels is small. On the contrary, when the MS moves from the FRF-3 zone to the FRF-I zone, the radio resource allocation apparatus sets, as a switching region, the interval where a difference in CINR threshold between MCS levels is large.
- the radio resource allocation apparatus receives a first CQI report from the MS through a CQI channel for a first subchannel zone that uses a first frequency reuse factor (Step S505). For example, when the MS belongs to the FRF-I zone, the radio resource allocation apparatus receives CQI for the zone through a CQI channel. Thereafter, the radio resource allocation apparatus checks if the received CQI report value, or CINR value, belongs to a predetermined condition, for example, the set switching region, by means of the region determiner/CQI report requester 420 (Step S510).
- the radio resource allocation apparatus allocates a CQI channel to the MS for a second subchannel zone that uses a second frequency reuse factor, requests a second CQI report, and receives the second CQI report from the MS through the CQI channel (Step S515).
- the radio resource allocation apparatus compares spectral efficiency between MCS levels of the two zones (Step S520). That is, the radio resource allocation apparatus compares spectral efficiency SpEff 1 of the current frequency reuse factor zone with spectral efficiency SpEff2 of another frequency reuse factor zone.
- the radio resource allocation apparatus decides whether to allocate the second subchannel zone from at least one of the spectral efficiency for each subchannel zone and the resource utilization of each subchannel zone based on the CQI reports. If the spectral efficiency SpEff2 of another frequency reuse factor zone is higher than the spectral efficiency SpEff 1 of the current frequency reuse factor zone as a result of the comparison, the MS can move to the zone having the high frequency spectral efficiency.
- the radio resource allocation apparatus checks if resource of one zone is insufficient while resource of another zone is surplus (Step S525). That is, if there is no available resource for the current subchannel zone and there is available resource for another subchannel zone, the radio resource allocation apparatus allocates MSs in the zone with available resource in ascending order of a loss of frequency spectral efficiency SpEff (Step S530). However, if there is no, or insignificant, resource unbalance in Step S525, the radio resource allocation apparatus moves the MS to the frequency reuse factor zone having a high frequency spectral efficiency SpEff2 (Step S535). In this manner, it is possible to optimize the entire capacity of the system.
- FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a method for supporting radio resource allocation for frequency reuse by a BS.
- the BS receives a first CQI report from an MS through a first CQI channel for a subchannel zone that uses a first frequency reuse factor (Step S610). If a CINR value of the received CQI report corresponds to a predetermined condition (Step S620), the BS sends to the MS a request for a second CQI report for a subchannel zone that uses a second frequency reuse factor (Step S630).
- the BS In order to decide whether to allocate the subchannel zone that uses the second frequency reuse factor, the BS concurrently receives, from the MS, the second CQI report through the second CQI channel and the first CQI report through the first CQI channel (Step S640).
- the MS supports at least two (concurrent) CQI channels.
- FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a method for supporting radio resource allocation for frequency reuse by an MS.
- an MS supporting at least two concurrent CQI channels sends a first CQI report through a first CQI channel for a subchannel zone that uses a first frequency reuse factor (Step S710). If CINR of the first CQI report corresponds to a predetermined condition (Step S720), the MS receives, from a BS, a request for a second CQI report for a subchannel zone that uses a second frequency reuse factor (Step S730).
- the MS In order to support the BS in deciding whether to make switching to the subchannel zone that uses the second frequency reuse factor, the MS concurrently sends the second CQI report through the second CQI channel and the first CQI report through the first CQI channel (Step S740).
- the present invention aimed to dynamically allocate frequencies, i.e., users or MSs, receives two separate CQI reports to alternately decide the zones on a frame-by-frame basis according to required Quality of Service (QoS) of each zone and spectral efficiencies of MSs so that the MSs can temporarily acquire information of both zones.
- QoS Quality of Service
- the MS is adapted to send multiple CQI reports.
- WiMAX Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access
- Table 1 The Code Division Multiple Access (WiMAX) Forum Mobile System Profile can mandate two concurrent CINR measurements and CQI reports, which simultaneously occur at the request of the MS, as shown in Table 1.
- the BS can also know if the MS supports two concurrent CQI channels by 'OFDMA Subscribe Station (SS) CINR measurement capability' TLV in an SS Basic Capability (SBC)-REQ message.
- SS Subscribe Station
- the BS can get the CQI reports of FRF-I based CINR measurement and FRF-3 based CINR measurement simultaneously by allocating two CQICHs or sharing a CQICH time division manner through two CQICH Allocation IEs.
- Bit #2 Physical CINR measurement for a permutation zone from data subcarriers
- Bit #4 Effective CI NR measurement for a permutation zone from pilot subcarriers
- Bit #5 Effective CI NR measurement for a permutation zone from data subcarriers
- FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a dynamic frequency allocation method for network entry, and a brief description of the network entry will be given below. If an MS is coincident with a Medium Access Control (MAC) address in an RNG-REQ message (Step S800), a BS allocates a Basic Connection Identifier (BCID) and a Primary Management CID (PMCID) (Step S810).
- MAC Medium Access Control
- BCID Basic Connection Identifier
- PMCID Primary Management CID
- the BS can allocate CQICH with CQICH Allocation IE
- Duration ObI 11 (until explicit deallocation)
- Feedback type ObOO (PCINR)
- Report type ObI (zone)
- the MS measures CINR based on FRF-I configuration.
- the reason why CINR measurement is based on FRF- 1 configuration is because the expected spectral efficiency is usually higher in the all- subchannel zone rather than the segmented zone.
- the MS sends FRF-I configuration-based CQI report periodically (Step S830).
- the recommended report periodicity is every frame.
- the BS compares the reported CQI with a predefined FRF-I Exit threshold (Step 1).
- the FRF-I Exit threshold is a threshold used in the all- subchannel zone. If the reported CQI is lower than the FRF- 1 Exit threshold for N consecutive reports or the spectral efficiency of segmented zone is expected to be higher than that of the all- subchannel zone, the BS updates the current CQICH allocation information for the CINR to be measured and reported based on the FRF-3 configuration (Step S850), and receives the CINR measured and reported based on the FRF-3 configuration (Step S860).
- Frame offset ObOOl
- Duration ObI 11 (until explicit deallocation)
- Feedback type ObOO (PCINR)
- Report type ObI (preamble)
- CINR preamble report type ObI (FRF-3 configuration).
- the BS allocates a data grant for the SBC-REQ message before expiration of a T9 timer so that the MS can send the SBC-REQ message, and restores the 'OFDMA SS CINR measurement capability' information to check if the MS supports two concurrent CQICHs.
- Step S870 the BS sends the SBC-RSP message through the selected zone (Step S870). That is, if the current CQI report is based on FRF-I configuration, the BS sends the SBC-RSP message through the all- subchannel zone, and if the current CQI report is based on FRF-3 configuration, the BS sends the SBC-RSP message through the segmented zone.
- FIGs. 9 to 11 are flowcharts illustrating a radio resource allocation method in a normal operation after network entry.
- the proposed radio resource allocation method for a subchannel reuse pattern after network entry is as follows.
- the BS receives a first CQI report from the MS (Steps S900 and S950), restores the 'OFDMA SS CINR measurement capability' information of the MS (Step S915), and checks if the MS supports two concurrent CQICHs (Step S920). If the MS supports two concurrent CQICHs, the BS checks if the reported CQI crosses an FRF-I Exit candidate boundary downward or an FRF-3 Exit candidate boundary upward (Steps S905 and S955). If so, the BS allocates a new CQICH Allocation IE so that the MS sends a second CQI report (Steps S910 and S960).

- the BS restores the 'OFDMA SS CINR measurement capability' information of the MS (Step S915), and checks if the MS supports two concurrent CQICHs (Step S920). If the MS supports two concurrent CQICHs, the BS checks if a CINR value of the CQI reported from the MS is in a switching region in a range centered on a threshold (Step S930), and if the CINR value is in the switching region, the BS allocates CQICH Allocation IE for another zone (Step S940).
- the BS acquires CQI reports for both FRF-I and FRF-3 in this way (Step S945), it compares spectral efficiencies based on the two CQI reports (Step SlOlO). If the spectral efficiency SpEff(FRF-3) of the segmented zone is greater than or equal to 3 times the spectral efficiency SpEff(FRF-l) of the all- subchannel zone (Step S1015), the BS moves the MS to the segmented zone (Step S 1020), and otherwise, maintains the MS in the all- subchannel zone (Step S 1045). If the zone-changed MS is separated far away from the candidate boundary (Steps S 1025 and S 1050), the CQICH allocation based on another zone is cancelled (Steps S 1030 and S 1055).
- the BS can compulsorily allocate the MS in a particular zone according to resource utilization of the zone. That is, when resource of one zone is insufficient and resource of another zone is surplus, i.e., when resource utilization of the all- subchannel zone is 100% and resource utilization of the segmented zone is less than 100% (Step Sl 100), or when resource utilization of the segmented zone is 100% and resource utilization of the all- subchannel zone is less than 100% (Step S 1125), the BS allocates MSs in another zone in ascending order of a loss of the spectral efficiency (Steps Sl 105, Sl 110, Sl 130 and Sl 135). If the zone-changed MS is separated far away from the candidate boundary (Steps Sl 115 and Sl 140), the CQICH allocation based on another zone is cancelled (Steps Sl 120 and Sl 145).
- the BS knows the required CINR for each MCS level, as shown in Table 3.
- the CINR gain of FRF- 3 over FRF-I is assumed to be about 8 dB, then followings could be guessed. If the CINR of MSl in all-subchannel zone is 20 dB, the highest MCS level applicable is 16QAM 1/2. If this MS is allocated in segmented zone, the CINR will be about 28 dB and the 64QAM 3/4 may be applicable. In this case, the achievable spectral efficiency of the MS in all- subchannel zone is 2 bps/subcarrier whereas the spectral efficiency in the segmented zone is 4.5 bps/subcarrier.
- the CINR of MS2 in the all- subchannel zone is 2 dB, the highest MCS level applicable is QPSK 1/2 repetition 6. If the MS is allocated in the segmented zone, the CINR will be about 10 dB and the QPSK 1/2 repetition 4 may be applicable. In this case, the achievable spectral efficiency of the MS in the all- subchannel zone is 1/6 bps/ subcarrier whereas the spectral efficiency in the segmented zone 1/4 bps/subcarrier. If the subchannel zone is assumed to correspond to 1/3 of the all- subchannel zone, the spectral efficiency of the segmented zone corresponds to a value reduced to 1/3.
- MS2 will be smaller than MSl in terms of the spectral efficiency lost by moving the corresponding MS from the all-subchannel zone to the segmented zone.
- the greater the spectral efficiency gain - or the smaller the spectral efficiency loss - from the all-subchannel zone to the segmented zone might be, the smaller the CINR difference between current MCS level and the lower MCS levels might be.
- the BS can define specific CINR ranges as recommended switching region for segmented zone and all-subchannel zone, respectively, and allocate CQICH for CINR measurement of another zone if the CINR of an MS belongs to this switching region.
- functions used in an apparatus and a method disclosed in the present specification can be embodied in storage media that a computer can read as codes that the computer can read.
- the storage media that the computer can read include all sorts of record devices in which data that can be read by a computer system is stored. Examples of the storage media that the computer can read, include ROMs, RAMs, CD- ROMs, magnetic tape, floppy discs, optic data storage devices, etc., and also, include things embodied in the form of carrier wave (e.g., transmission through the internet).
- the storage media that the computer can read is distributed in a computer system connected with networks. Then, the codes that the computer can read, are stored in the distributed storage media in a distribution scheme, and the codes can be executed in the distribution scheme.

Abstract
L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil d'allocation de ressources radio dans un système de communication sans fil. Ce procédé consiste, lorsqu'une station mobile (MS), qui envoie un premier rapport indicateur de qualité de canal (CQI) par l'intermédiaire d'un canal CQI pour une zone de sous-canal utilisant un premier facteur de réutilisation de fréquence, satisfant une condition prédéfinie, à recevoir de la station mobile un deuxième rapport de CQI même pour la zone de sous-canal utilisant un second facteur de réutilisation de fréquence; et à décider s'il faut ou non allouer la zone de sous-canal utilisant le second facteur de réutilisation de fréquence, en fonction des rapports de CQI. Cette invention permet d'allouer correctement des ressources de fréquence à une station mobile qui utilise des facteurs de réutilisation de fréquence optimisant ainsi la capacité globale du système.
