Embodiment
The present invention program's essential idea is to want automatically to monitor to wireless environment, to be optimized adjustment, to meet the flexibility of system and the demand of reliability.Just with preferred embodiment wherein, the present invention program is described in detail below.
As shown in Figure 2, be the schematic flow sheet of the dynamic optimization method embodiment of cordless communication network of the present invention, as shown in Figure 2, the method in the present embodiment comprises step:
Step S101: open listening functions, intercept frequency and the power of the signal of neighbor cell, enter step S102;
Step S102: whether the signal that judges neighbor cell exists interference, if do not exist, returns to above-mentioned steps S101 and continues to intercept, if exist, enters step S103;
Step S103: generate and optimize and revise scheme, and according to the scheme of optimizing and revising generating, current area or this neighbor cell of sending interference signal are adjusted.
According to the scheme in the present embodiment, it is by intercepting the signal of neighbor cell, and in the time of the interference of signal that listens to neighbor cell, generate the scheme of optimizing and revising accordingly, and optimize and revise scheme according to this generation current area or channel frequency or the transmitting power of sending this neighbor cell of interference signal are adjusted, thereby channel is carried out dynamically, distributed flexibly, improved flexibility and the reliability of wireless communication system.
Wherein, in the time of above-mentioned signal of intercepting neighbor cell, the concrete mode of intercepting can be to adopt existing mode in prior art, for example femto(Femtocell, indoor cell phone network access point technology, is called for short femto) in can realize intercepting of running status to other communities and interference.But in the present invention program, RRU, except intercepting running status and the interference of co-frequency cell, can also intercept running status and the interference of alien-frequency district, while intercepting alien-frequency district, increase the filter of corresponding band.In a concrete example, taking mobile GSM900 system as example, in the time intercepting the running status of co-frequency cell and disturb, intercept link can with a downlink shared filter, for the running status of alien-frequency district and intercepting of interference, can increase the filter of corresponding band, realize the listening functions with alien frequencies by the switching of switch.
In the time judging whether neighbor cell exists interference, can adopt existing mode in prior art to judge, can be for example:
For gsm system, when in same frequency at one time, when the signal power listening to is greater than the threshold value (being called the first predetermined threshold value) of setting, to judge that the signal listening to exists to disturb, this first predetermined threshold value can be according to actual conditions free setting;
For TD-SCDMA, CDMA, CDMA2000, WCDMA or LTE system, when on same time domain, same frequency domain and same code territory, when the signal power listening to is greater than the threshold value (being called the second predetermined threshold value) of setting, judge that the signal listening to exists interference; For different code territories, in the time that the signal power listening to deducts the threshold value (being called the 3rd predetermined threshold value) that coding gain is greater than setting, judge that the signal listening to exists interference, wherein, the occurrence of the second predetermined threshold value, the 3rd predetermined threshold value can be according to actual conditions free setting, and the second predetermined threshold value can be set as identical value with the 3rd predetermined threshold value, also can be set as different values.
The scheme of optimizing and revising of above-mentioned generation, it can be the transmitting power of directly heightening current area, the step-length of each certain setting of adjustable height, after adjustment unit adjustment, again the signal of neighbor cell is intercepted, the signal that the judges neighbor cell whether signal of Dui Zhe community produces and disturbs, if there is interference, then adopts aforesaid way adjustment.
While adopting in this way, because being directly adjusts the transmitting power of current area, if constantly heighten the transmitting power of current area, after the transmitting power of current area is too high, likely can neighbor cell be produced and be disturbed, make and can heighten the transmitting power of neighbor cell, can make the transmitting power of each community all very large, thereby can enter vicious circle, cause the performance of whole system to worsen, to this, can consider the maximum of the transmitting power of setting each community, or consider other adjustment mode.
To this, the scheme of optimizing and revising generating, can also be to choose comparatively pure frequency for current area to reconfigure community, can be specifically according to electromagnetic wave space attenuation formula, calculate the distance of adjacent cells, to meet the QoS(Quality of Service of current area, service quality) be bottom line, the scope that will cover according to electromagnetic wave space attenuation formula and community again arranges the transmitting power of current area, concrete implementation, with of the prior art identical, does not repeat them here.
Above-mentioned generation optimize and revise scheme time, can also be to generate according to Qos:
When sending the Qos of neighbor cell of interference signal when higher, for example exceed the higher limit of certain setting, the scheme of optimizing and revising generating can be that this angle of declination that sends the antenna of the neighbor cell of interference signal is lowered, also can be that this transmitting power of sending the neighbor cell of interference signal is turned down, the former is nonlinear, and the latter is linear, comparatively speaking, the former effect is better, can preferentially select the mode of lowering angle of declination;
When sending the Qos of neighbor cell of interference signal when not high, even just to meet, for example lower than or can just reach the lower limit of certain setting, illustrate that there is interference signal this neighbor cell, this neighbor cell meets Qos by improving transmitting power, thereby interference is caused in current area, to this, the scheme of optimizing and revising generating can be again to choose comparatively pure frequency for this neighbor cell of sending interference signal, minimum transmitting power is set in the situation that meeting this neighbor cell Qos, identical with above-described embodiment one of the concrete mode of choosing pure frequency, do not repeat them here,
In the time sending the Qos of neighbor cell of interference signal and reached requiring of setting, for example, within the Qos of this neighbor cell is positioned at the scope of certain setting, the configuration that current area is described may be undesirable, therefore, the scheme of optimizing and revising generating can be to heighten the transmitting power of current area, or can be also again to choose comparatively pure frequency for current area, minimum transmitting power is set in the situation that meeting this current area Qos.
