Description

一种频谱共享的方法及装置 技术领域
本发明涉及通信技术领域,特别涉及一种频谱共享的方法及装置。
背景技术
目前,免许可(unlicensed)频谱资源要大于许可频谱资源,在免许可频谱上使用的主要技术是无线保真(wireless fidelity,WiFi),但是WiFi在移动性、安全性、服务质量以及同时处理多用户调度方面存在缺陷,因此,若将长期演进(long-term evolution,LTE)设备应用在免许可频谱,不仅可以有效利用免许可频谱资源,还可以提供更为有效的无线接入,以及满足日益增长的移动宽带服务的需求。
在未来的移动通信场景中,为了更有效的利用免许可频谱资源,在免许可频谱上可能会同时存在多种无线通信***共存,例如,LTE和WiFi共存。由于免许可频谱上对无线通信***和运营商的使用没有约束,为了实现不同无线通信***对免许可频谱使用的公平性,以及多***之间尽可能不造成有害影响,无线通信***在免许可频谱上使用时需要遵循特定的法规规则。
例如,一种LTE和WiFi共存的机制是先听后说(listen before talk,LBT),即,无线通信设备在使用免许可频谱之前,对信道进行侦听,执行空闲信道评估(clear channel assessment,CCA),如果测得的信号能量超过CCA门限,则认为信道忙,不进行数据发送;否则,认为信道空闲,占用信道进行数据发送。但是,基于LBT的共存机制对协议、基站和终端的改动较大,且在网络节点增多的情况下,竞争开销大,效率降低,另外,协议版本在Release 12之后才支持,商用部署时间晚。
为了加快商用部署步伐,减少协议、标准等的改动,另外一种LTE和WiFi共存的机制是LTE小区开/关(cell on/off)。即,LTE设备周期性的打开和关闭小区的信号发射,采用时分复用的方式与WiFi共享信道资源。采用半静态的 周期调整或者动态的周期调整。该方法可以基于协议版本Release 10。
参阅图1所示,LTE***内的设备(也可称为LTE设备)在许可频谱资源上以最大功率发射信号,在免许可频谱资源上,通常基于干扰、负载水平的检测,采用cell on/off的形式进行信道共享。成功抢占到信道时,打开小区以一定的功率持续一定时间进行信号发射,出让信号使用权时关闭小区的信号发射。其中,LTE设备在cell on阶段独享免许可频谱,在cell off阶段关闭小区的信号发射,将状态由发送状态更改为接收状态,接收WiFi***发送信号的功率以及信道占用情况等通信参数,根据获得的通信参数,结合自身占用信道情况、负载、干扰等,调整cell on/off的周期比例和占用时长。
但是,这种采用完全时分的方式复用免许可频谱,频谱效率利用率非常低,不能有效提升***容量。因此,如何在满足频谱法规,并保持干扰水平不变的前提下,更好的提升***容量,更好的复用免许可频谱资源,是一个亟待解决的问题。

具体实施方式
为了使本发明的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本发明作进一步地详细描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其它实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。
本发明实施例提供的频谱共享的方法及装置应用于无线通信***,可应用于LTE***、WiFi、全球微波互联接入(worldwide interoperability for  microwave access,WiMaX)、宽带码分多址(wideband code division multiple access,WCDMA)、时分同步的码分多址技术(time division-synchronous code division multiple access,TDSCDMA)、全球移动通信***(global system for mobile communication,GSM)、Zigbee(紫蜂协议)、蓝牙等无线通信***,也可用于终端侧的上行数据发射,尤其应用于许可辅助接入LTE(licensed-assisted access using LTE,LAA-LTE)***。
其中,LAA-LTE***是为了使LTE***在使用免许可频谱时,能保持在移动性、安全性、服务质量以及同时处理多用户调度方面的优势,通过载波聚合(carrier aggregation,CA)的方式,使许可频谱和免许可频谱聚合在一起。LAA-LTE***利用现有LTE***中的CA的配置和结构,以配置运营商许可频谱上的载波为主,配置多个免许可频谱上的载波为辅助进行通信。当LAA-LTE***使用免许可频谱资源时,需要遵从各地对免许可频谱使用制定的规范,以降低***间竞争使用信道的干扰,与其他***公平共存。
当然,本发明实施例也不限于上述CA的使用场景,还适用于免许可频谱独立使用的场景,即免许可频谱作为独立的载波工作的场景。
下面将结合具体的实施例对本发明提供的频谱共享的方法及装置进行详细说明。
实施例一、
本发明实施例一以第一设备为执行主体进行介绍,参阅图2所示,本发明实施例一中,第一设备在免许可频谱上分为信道独享阶段和信道共享阶段,信道独享阶段是指第一设备独自占用免许可频谱上分配给所述第一设备的信道资源,即,第一设备在使用免许可频谱上分配给所述第一设备的信道资源,不允许其他设备使用;信道共享阶段指第一设备与至少一个第二设备共同占用免许可频谱上分配给所述第一设备的信道资源,即,第一设备在使用免许可频谱上分配给所述第一设备的信道资源的同时,允许至少一个第二设备共同使用免许可频谱上分配给所述第一设备的信道资源,而不是如现有技术中,无论什么情况下,都采用时分复用的方式使用信道,因此采用本发明实施例 提供的方法能够提高频谱使用效率。其中,第一设备和第二设备为同一通信***中的设备,或者为不同通信***中的设备。第一设备在免许可频谱上采用信道独享阶段和信道共享阶段循环交替的方式进行信号的发射,具体地,可形成一种发送模式,所述发送模式包括:信道独享阶段和信道共享阶段各自占用的时长、以及各自发射信号采用的功率。并且,在一定的时间段内,第一设备采用相同的发送模式发射信号,在下一个时间段到来时,采用更新后的发送模式发射信号。
参阅图3所示,本发明实施例一提供的频谱共享的方法,包括:
步骤300:第一设备确定第一信道共享阶段发射信号所采用的第一功率。
需要说明的是,以下实施例中,将第一时间段内,在免许可频谱上的信道共享阶段称为第二信道共享阶段,将第一时间段之后,且紧邻第一时间段内的信道共享阶段称为第一信道共享阶段。
具体地,第一设备根据第一时间段内,至少一个第二信道共享阶段的第一设备或第二设备的通信参数,确定在所述第一信道共享阶段发射信号所采用的第一功率;其中,在所述第二信道共享阶段中,在免许可频谱上分配给所述第一设备的信道资源为第一设备与至少一个第二设备共同占用,所述第一信道共享阶段在所述第一时间段之后。
第一时间段的时长和第二时间段的时长可以相等,也可以不等。即,第一设备可以设置相同时长的循环周期,在一个循环周期内,采用相同的发送模式发送信号,并基于这一个循环周期测量的参数,确定下一个周期采用的发送模式。也可以,在这一个循环周期未结束时,基于测量的参数,缩短本次循环周期,立即采用更新后的发送模式发射信号。比如,根据测量发现第二设备对免许可频谱的信道资源占用较少,或者调度的负载较小,那么第一设备可以立即调整第二时间段内,在免许可频谱上信道共享阶段发射信号采用的功率。这样可以更加有效的提高免许可频谱的资源利用率。
所述通信参数包括以下几项中的至少一项:
(1)至少一个第二设备发射信号的功率大小。
第一设备确定第一时间段内,在免许可频谱上的至少一个第二信道共享阶段至少一个第二设备发射信号的功率大小的方法为:
第一设备确定第一时间段内预设的不同测量间隔,并在确定的每个测量间隔到来时,对在免许可频谱上的至少一个第二信道共享阶段的至少一个第二设备的发射功率进行测量,得到至少一个第二设备发射信号的功率大小。
其中,由于第一设备在第一时间段内的发射信号期间,无法对第二设备发射信号的功率进行测量,因此,第一设备需在第一时间段内设置一段时长关闭发射,将状态由发射改为接收,对免许可频谱的信道进行侦听,通过侦听到的能量信息确定第二设备发射信号的功率。具体地,可以在第一时间段内预设不同的测量间隔,例如,在第一时间段内的信道共享阶段内,在发送数据之前,设置一定的时长作为测量间隔。将在第一时间段内的不同测量间隔内测量得到的至少一个第二设备发射信号的功率进行汇总与统计,综合确定第一时间段内,在免许可频谱上的至少一个第二信道共享阶段至少一个第二设备发射信号的功率大小。
第一设备根据测量得到的第一时间段内在免许可频谱上的至少一个第二信道共享阶段至少一个第二设备发射信号的功率大小,确定第一时间段之后的第第一信道共享阶段发射信号所采用的第一功率的方法如下所述。
在第一时间段内,第一设备在免许可频谱上的整个信道时间包括至少一个第二信道共享阶段,在第一时间段内,至少一个第二信道共享阶段采用的发射功率不变,在第一时间段之后,紧邻第一时间段的第二时间段内,第一设备在免许可频谱上的整个信道时间包括至少一个第一信道共享阶段,在第二时间段内,至少一个第一信道共享阶段采用的发射功率(即第一发射功率)不变。
随着在第一时间段内,在至少一个第二信道共享阶段至少一个第二设备发射信号的功率大小在设定功率范围内的减小,所述第一设备确定的第一信道共享阶段发射信号所采用的第一功率增大。
其中,在第一时间段内,若在至少一个第二信道共享阶段至少一个第二 设备发射信号的功率大小为设定功率范围内的最小值,则所述第一设备确定的第一信道共享阶段发射信号所采用的第一功率为最大发射功率。
例如,在第一时间段内,在至少一个第二信道共享阶段上,至少一个第二设备发射信号的功率大小为A,第一设备发射信号的功率大小为B,在第一时间段之前的第零时间段内,在至少一个第二信道共享阶段上,至少一个第二设备发射信号的功率大小为C,若A<C,则,第一设备确定的第一信道共享阶段采用的发射功率为D,D>B。
具体地,第一设备预先设定根据第一时间段内,在至少一个第二信道共享阶段至少一个第二设备发射信号的功率大小,调整第一信道共享阶段发射信号所采用的第一功率的调整模式,其中,本发明实施例中对调整模式不做具体限定,例如,第一设备预先设定根据第一时间段内,在至少一个信道共享阶段至少一个第二设备发射信号的功率大小,与第一信道共享阶段发射信号所采用的第一功率可以为线性关系或设定的其他函数关系,又或者为具体设定的映射关系,下面以一种具体设定的映射关系举例说明。
例:将第一时间段内,在至少一个信道共享阶段,至少一个第二设备发射信号的功率大小设置不同的门限值,将第一信道共享阶段发射信号所采用的第一功率设置不同的功率等级,其中,所述门限值与所述功率等级具有对应关系。具体为:
若第一时间段内,在至少一个信道共享阶段至少一个第二设备发射信号的功率大小小于门限值L1,则确定第一信道共享阶段发射信号所采用的第一功率的功率等级为PN
若第一时间段内,在至少一个信道共享阶段至少一个第二设备发射信号的功率大小大于或等于门限值Li且小于门限值Li+1,则确定第一信道共享阶段发射信号所采用的第一功率的功率等级为PN-i+1
其中,门限值Li+1大于门限值Li,PN对应的发射功率为最大发射功率,Pj+1对应的发射功率大于Pj对应的发射功率,i=1,…,N,j=1,…,N,N为大于或等于2的整数。
(2)所述第一设备对免许可频谱的信道资源占用信息。
(3)所述至少一个第二设备对所述免许可频谱的信道资源占用信息。
其中,第一设备确定第一时间段内,在至少一个第二信道共享阶段,至少一个第二设备对所述免许可频谱的信道资源占用信息的方法为:
第一设备确定第一时间段内预设的不同测量间隔,并在确定的每个测量间隔到来时,对在免许可频谱上的信道共享阶段的至少一个第二设备的能量进行侦听,如果测得的信号能量超过空闲信道评估(clear channel assessment,CCA)门限(假设为第一CCA门限),则认为信道占用,否则,认为信道空闲,从而得到至少一个第二设备对所述免许可频谱的信道资源占用信息。
例如,测量间隔为50ms,通过能量的侦听,确定其中20ms内接收的能量超过第一CCA门限-70dBm,则判定至少一个第二设备对免许可频谱的信道资源占用比例为40%。
较佳地,第一设备为基站,基站通过以下方式确定第一CCA门限:
1)基站在测量间隔初始阶段,根据侦听的能量分布情况,确定初始的CCA门限集合;
例如,参阅图4所示,基站在测量间隔初始阶段,根据周围至少一个第二设备的部署情况,测量得到如图4所示的能量分布情况,根据能量分布情况确定初始的CCA门限集合包括门限A、门限B和门限C三个CCA门限。
2)基站在测量间隔的剩余阶段内,对至少一个第二设备的能量进行侦听,并将测量的信号能量分别于初始的CCA门限集合中的每一个CCA门限进行比较,获得各个CCA门限对应的至少一个第二设备对所述免许可频谱的信道资源占用比例;
例如,门限A、门限B和门限C对应的获得各个CCA门限对应的至少一个第二设备对所述免许可频谱的信道资源占用比例分别为30%、40%、50%。
3)基站根据信号发射期间统计的自身的信道资源占用比例,确定信道资源空闲比例。所述信道资源空闲比例是指在信道共享阶段,所有信道资源除去基站自身占用的信道资源以外,还可承担的负荷。
比如,信号发射期间统计的自身的信道资源占用比例为60%,则信道资源空闲比例为1-60%=40%。
4)基站将获得的至少一个第二设备对所述免许可频谱的信道资源占用比例分别与信道资源空闲比例进行比较,选择最接近信道资源空闲比例的至少一个第二设备对所述免许可频谱的信道资源占用比例,并将选择的至少一个第二设备对所述免许可频谱的信道资源占用比例对应的CCA门限值作为第一时间段内后续测量间隔期间,判断至少一个第二设备对所述免许可频谱的信道资源占用信息的第一CCA门限。
例如,基站采用最接近信道资源空闲比例40%的至少一个第二设备对所述免许可频谱的信道资源占用比例40%对应的CCA门限B,作为第一时间段内后续测量间隔期间,判断至少一个第二设备对所述免许可频谱的信道资源占用信息的第一CCA门限。
具体测量间隔的设置方法与(1)中描述相同,重复之处不再赘述。
(4)所述第一设备在信号发射过程中受所述至少一个第二设备发射信号的干扰大小。
具体地,第一设备根据第一时间段内,在免许可频谱上的至少一个第二信道共享阶段受至少一个第二设备发射信号的干扰大小,确定第一信道共享阶段发射信号所采用的第一功率的方法如下所述。
第一设备预先设定根据第一时间段内,在免许可频谱上的至少一个第二信道共享阶段受至少一个第二设备发射信号的干扰大小,调整第一信道共享阶段发射信号所采用的第一功率的调整模式,其中,本发明实施例中对调整模式不做具体限定,下面举出其中一种示例说明具体的调整过程。
第一设备若在第一时间段内,在免许可频谱上的至少一个第二信道共享阶段受至少一个第二设备发射信号的干扰大小低于第一设定阈值,则将第一设备在第一时间段内在至少一个第二信道共享阶段发射信号所采用的第一功率提升一个预设等级,并将提升后的功率确定为第一信道共享阶段发射信号所采用的第一功率;
所述第一设备若在第一时间段内,在至少一个第二信道共享阶段受至少一个第二设备发射信号的干扰大小高于第二设定阈值,则将第一设备在第一时间段内的至少一个第二信道共享阶段发射信号所采用的第一功率降低一个预设等级,并将降低后的功率确定为第一信道共享阶段发射信号所采用的第一功率;
其中,所述第一设定阈值小于所述第二设定阈值。
另外,第一设备若在第一时间段内,在免许可频谱上的至少一个第二信道共享阶段受至少一个第二设备发射信号的干扰大小高于第三设定阈值,则在第一信道共享阶段关闭发射。并且,在第二时间段内关闭发射期间,第一设备对至少一个第二设备的信道资源占用信息进行测量,并统计第二设备的负载大小,若获得的第二设备的负载大小低于在第一时间段内获得的负载大小,则将第三设定阈值上调预定幅度。相反,若获得的第二设备的负载大小高于在第一时间段内获得的负载大小,则将第三设定阈值下调预定幅度。
当然,第一设备在第一时间段内,在免许可频谱上的至少一个第二信道共享阶段受至少一个第二设备发射信号的干扰大小,与第一设备在第一信道共享阶段发射信号所采用的第一功率,也可以预先设置为线性关系或设定的其他函数关系。
(5)所述第一设备的负载大小。
第一设备根据流量、信道质量、占用时长等参数的统计,获得第一设备的负载大小。
(6)所述至少一个第二设备的负载大小。
第一设备根据在第一时间段内的测量间隔内,对免许可频谱的信道侦听情况,以及能量测量,得到至少一个第二设备的负载大小,其中,测量间隔的设置如(1)中所述,重复之处不再赘述。
步骤310:所述第一设备在所述第一信道共享阶段采用第一功率发射信号。
具体地,基于第一时间段的测量结果,第一设备在第二时间段内,在所 述免许可频谱上的信道共享阶段采用第一功率发射信号。
其中,若所述第一设备为基站,则基站确定所述第一功率所在的功率范围;并在预设的功率范围和距离范围的映射关系中,确定所述第一功率所在的功率范围对应的距离范围;所述基站在所述免许可频谱上的信道共享阶段采用第一功率,向处于所述基站覆盖范围内、且与所述基站的距离在确定的距离范围内的终端发射信号。
具体地,将第一功率为最大发射功率时能够覆盖的范围确定为最大距离范围,以最大距离范围为上限,以基站中心为下限,划分不同的距离范围,以最大发射功率为上限,基于与距离范围一一对应的关系,将功率划分为不同的功率范围,建立功率范围与距离范围的映射关系,当第一功率落在第一功率范围时,确定与第一功率范围对应的第一距离范围,向所述第一距离范围内的终端发射信号。例如,若第一功率为最大发射功率,则向最大距离范围内的终端发射信号,较佳地,优先向最大距离范围内处于边缘的终端发射信号;又例如,若第一功率为最小发射功率,则优先向靠近基站中心的终端发射信号。
下面结合具体的例子具体说明本发明实施例一调度终端的方式。
参阅图5所示,假设基站覆盖范围中圆形区域,将第一功率对应的功率值划分为不同的功率等级,其中,PN对应的发射功率为最大发射功率,Pj+1对应的发射功率大于Pj对应的发射功率,j=1,…,N,最大发射功率的覆盖范围被划分为N个环形区域,第一个环形区域为中心区域,且第N个环形区域为边缘区域,N为大于或等于2的整数。
那么,若确定出在所述信道共享阶段的发射功率等级为Pj,优先调度位于第j个环形区域内的终端。
以上介绍了第一设备在免许可频谱上的第一信道共享阶段发射信号采用的第一功率的确定方法,另外,第一设备确定在免许可频谱上的第一信道独享阶段发射信号所采用的第二功率,并在所述第一信道独享阶段采用第二功率发射信号。
其中,在所述第一信道独享阶段中,在免许可频谱上分配给所述第一设备的信道资源为所述第一设备独自占用,因此第一设备在信道独享阶段采用的第二功率为正常发射功率,可采用最大功率发射,也可根据自身负载的情况和信道资源占用信息等参数调整第二功率的大小。
至此,第一设备可根据第一时间段内的测量,确定第一时间段之后的第第一信道共享阶段采用的第一功率,以及第一信道独享阶段采用的第二功率。另外,根据第一时间段内的测量,还需确定第一信道独享阶段和第一信道共享阶段各自占用的时长,以此形成发送模式。
具体地,第一设备根据下述方式确定第一信道共享阶段所占用的时长和第一信道独享阶段所占用的时长:
第一设备根据下述参数中的至少一项确定所述第一信道独享阶段和所述第一信道共享阶段所占用的时间比例:
在免许可频谱上的至少一个第二信道共享阶段至少一个第二设备发射信号的功率大小;
在免许可频谱上的至少一个第二信道共享阶段所述第一设备对免许可频谱的信道资源占用信息,以及所述至少一个第二设备对所述免许可频谱的信道资源占用信息;
在免许可频谱上的至少一个第二信道共享阶段所述第一设备的负载大小、以及至少一个第二设备的负载大小;
其中,上述参数的测量方式如步骤300中所述,重复之处不再赘述。
所述第一设备根据当前业务的服务质量要求QoS确定所述信道独享阶段占用的时长;并根据确定的所述第一信道独享阶段占用的时长和所述时间比例,确定第一信道共享阶段占用的时长。
若所述第一设备为基站,则第一设备在第一时间段结束之后,将第一信道共享阶段发射信号所采用的第一功率和第一信道独享阶段发射信号所采用的第二功率,形成功率变化的模板;并将形成的模板发送给覆盖范围内的终端。
当然,也可使用更加快速的信令通知,例如,在第一时间段内,每隔1ms通知终端当前发射信号采用的功率。
此外,需要说明的是,若第一设备为基站,第一设备和第二设备为异通信***,则基站在第一时间段内,在测量间隔期间,还可结合以下方式中的至少一种来确定第一信道共享阶段和信道独享阶段各自占用的时间,以及信道共享阶段发射信号采用的功率。
第一种,基站通知终端进行辅助测量,并上报测量值。
基站通过配置A3等测量事件,通知终端对至少一个第二设备的接收信号强度,以及至少一个第二设备的信道占用时长进行测量后并上报,根据终端的上报结果,辅助确定在第一信道共享阶段和第一信道独享阶段各自占用的时间,以及信道共享阶段采用的第一功率。
第二种,基站增加异***的接收信道,接收第二设备的信号,并对接收到的信号进行解析,根据解析结果确定第二设备在免许可频谱的至少一个第二信道共享阶段的信道资源占用信息,从而辅助确定在第一信道共享阶段和信道独享阶段各自占用的时间,以及信道共享阶段采用的第一功率。
其中,对接收到信号进行解析的过程中,解析网络分配矢量(network allocation vector,NAV),获得第二设备在免许可频谱的信道共享阶段的信道资源占用时间。
以上叙述的频谱共享的方法中,第一设备和第二设备可以为同一通信***,也可以为不同的通信***。下面针对第一设备和第二设备为同一通信***时,还可以采用的频谱共享的方法。
具体为:
第一设备为基站,基站在确定出第一功率之后,若所述基站与同***中的相邻基站共享所述免许可频谱,则所述基站获取相邻基站确定出的第一功率;
根据获取到的所述相邻基站确定出的第一功率,调整自身确定出的第一功率;
所述基站在所述第一信道共享阶段采用调整后的第一功率发射信号。
较佳地,基站获取相邻基站确定出的第一信道独享阶段和第一信道共享阶段各自占用的时间、各自的时间点以及各自发射信号采用的功率,若基站与相邻基站为同运营商,则可以通过S1口或X2***互各自的负载大小和信道独享阶段和信道共享阶段各自占用的时间、各自的时间点以及各自发射信号采用的功率,若基站与相邻基站为异运营商,则基站通过对小区专属导频信号(cell-specific reference signals,CRS)等信号的测量和盲检测,获取相邻基站的信道独享阶段和信道共享阶段各自占用的时间、各自的时间点以及各自发射信号采用的功率。
基站根据获得的相邻基站确定出的信道独享阶段和信道共享阶段各自占用的时间、各自的时间点以及各自发射信号采用的功率,与相邻基站进行协商,调整自身的第一信道独享阶段和第一信道共享阶段各自占用的时间、各自的时间点以及各自发射信号采用的功率。
例如,如果基站的信道独享阶段占用时间为100ms,信道共享阶段占用时间为150ms,相邻基站的信道独享阶段占用时间为150ms,信道共享阶段占用时间为100ms,则基站与相邻基站则可通过协商,交替进行信道独享阶段和信道共享阶段。
综上所述,本发明实施例一中,在免许可频谱上分为信道独享阶段和信道共享阶段,第一设备在免许可频谱上的第一信道共享阶段采用第一功率发射信号,在免许可频谱上的第一信道独享阶段采用第二功率发射信号,并在关闭发射期间,基于在免许可频谱上的至少一个第二信道共享阶段,至少一个第二设备的负载及干扰的测量,动态调整第一功率发射信号的功率大小,这样,在保证设备间干扰水平不提升的前提下,可以使第一设备在免许可频谱上与至少一个第二设备同时使用信道,达到频谱共享的目的,从而大大提高了频谱利用率和***容量。另外,第一设备为基站时,基于在免许可频谱上的信道共享阶段采用的第一功率大小与调度的终端之间的关系,当第一功率发生变化时,优先调度与变化后的第一功率对应的符合条件的终端,有效 保证了调度终端的可靠性和传输效率。
