Embodiment
For making the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention is described in further detail below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.
Third generation WCDMA communication network belongs to CDMA communication network, is to distinguish different user devices on the same carrier wave by channel code.Though the channel code of different user devices is mutually orthogonal in the same sub-district, in theory, there is not mutual interference between each subscriber equipment, but because the complexity of wireless propagation environment in the mobile communication, the signal that transmits between transmitter and the receiver is through behind the multipath transmisstion, and the signal in the same sub-district between the different user devices is quadrature fully, like this, certainly exist mutual interference between each subscriber equipment, directly the capacity to the communication network support exerts an influence, and the capacity that causes communication network to be supported reduces.In the WCDMA communication network, for reducing the mutual interference between the subscriber equipment, in speech business, adopt adaptive multi-rate (AMR) speech coding technology, information source situation according to call voice is controlled the speech encoding rate that subscriber equipment uses, and available speech encoding rate comprises 4.75Kbps, 5.15Kbps, 5.9Kbps, 6.7Kbps, 7.4Kbps, 7.95Kbps, 10.2Kbps and 12.2Kbps.
When the load of communication network is light, can adopt higher speech encoding rate to provide speech business for subscriber equipment, promptly network side is the higher speech encoding rate of user device configuration, as 7.95Kbps or 10.2Kbps even 12.2Kbps; If the load of communication network continues to reduce, then network side can suitably improve the speech encoding rate of the current use of subscriber equipment, the speech business of better quality is provided for subscriber equipment, as network side the speech encoding rate of the current use of subscriber equipment is increased to 10.2Kbps by 7.95Kbps, the highest speech encoding rate that subscriber equipment can be used be increased to 12.2Kbps, make that network side can provide good voice quality for subscriber equipment under the lower situation of communication network load.If the load of communication network increases, then network side can suitably reduce the current speech encoding rate that uses of subscriber equipment provides speech business as subscriber equipment, as network side the speech encoding rate of the current use of subscriber equipment is reduced to 7.4Kbps by 10.2Kbps, the minimum speech encoding rate that subscriber equipment can be used be reduced to 4.75Kbps, by reducing the speech encoding rate that subscriber equipment uses, reduce the mutual interference between subscriber equipment, thereby improve the capacity that communication network is supported.
Owing to there is relation one to one between source encoding and the chnnel coding, the AMR speech coding technology can be according to the change of communication channel and is dynamically adjusted Bit Allocation in Discrete between source encoding and the chnnel coding, when optimizing frequency spectrum resource, strengthen the flexibility of communication network and improve voice quality, reduce the mutual interference between subscriber equipment, improve the capacity that communication network is supported.
According to above description as seen, AMR speech coding technology based on COMMUNICATION NETWORK PERFORMANCES, coordinate to consider by source coding rate and channel parameter that voice are connected, utilize system load rationally and effectively: can be when the communication network load is light, for subscriber equipment provides good voice quality; And when the communication network load is heavier,, improve the capacity that communication network is supported by suitably being reduced to the voice quality that subscriber equipment provides, make communication network can hold more subscriber equipment.
Though in the prior art AMR speech coding technology is applied among the equilibrium of communication network capacity and voice quality, but consider that covering is the importance that embodies service quality, is mainly used in the AMR speech coding technology among the equilibrium of communication distance and voice quality among the present invention; Preferably, when the present invention also can be mainly used in the AMR speech coding technology among communication distance and the voice quality equilibrium, the AMR speech coding technology is applied among the equilibrium of communication network capacity and voice quality.Above-described communication distance is the distance between subscriber equipment and the base station.
Among the present invention, network side is known the distance between subscriber equipment and the base station, according to the speech encoding rate of setting and the corresponding relation of communication distance, is the user device configuration speech encoding rate; Further, certain subscriber equipment is when move the location in communication process, network side can be according to the current distance of this subscriber equipment and base station, dynamically adjust the speech encoding rate that this subscriber equipment uses, make service quality that communication network provides for subscriber equipment can not move and reduce owing to the position of subscriber equipment.According to the proposed method, can keep the proper communication of subscriber equipment, improve service quality greatly.In addition, still the AMR speech coding technology can be applied among the equilibrium of communication network capacity and voice quality among the present invention, promptly according to the current distance of subscriber equipment and base station, and current communication network capacity, speech encoding rate for the current use of user device configuration, and,, dynamically adjust the speech encoding rate of subscriber equipment according to the change of subscriber equipment and base station distance and communication network capacity.
Fig. 1 is an implementation procedure schematic diagram of the present invention, and as shown in Figure 1, among the present invention, according to the distance of subscriber equipment and base station, the implementation procedure of the speech encoding rate of configure user equipment may further comprise the steps:
Step 101～step 102: subscriber equipment initiates to insert at random request to network side.After the request of access at random of subscriber equipment is received in the base station, calculate the distance of subscriber equipment and base station self, then the distance between base station controller (RNC) report of user equipment and base station, i.e. communication distance.
In the WCDMA communication network, because subscriber equipment can only send the request that inserts at random in the particular moment of default, therefore the time difference in the moment can be asked with receiving access at random according to this particular moment in the base station, and radio wave calculates the distance between subscriber equipment and the base station in the space transmitting speed.
After step 103～step 104:RNC receives the communication distance that the base station reports, according to the corresponding relation between predefined speech encoding rate and the communication distance, be respective user equipment configured voice code rate, send the speech encoding rate that configures to the base station then.After the speech encoding rate that configures is received in the base station, on communication channel the user device configuration speech encoding rate.
Step 105: between subscriber equipment and the base station, communicate according to the speech encoding rate that configures between base station and the RNC.
Further, if above-described subscriber equipment is when move the location in communication process, then network side according to subscriber equipment the distance between the current and base station, dynamically adjust the speech encoding rate that subscriber equipment uses: if the distance between subscriber equipment and the base station reduces, then network side can be according to the current distance between subscriber equipment and the base station, suitably improve the speech encoding rate that subscriber equipment uses, as network side the speech encoding rate of the current use of subscriber equipment is increased to 7.95Kbps by 7.4Kbps, the highest speech encoding rate that subscriber equipment can be used be increased to 12.2Kbps, when nearer, communication network provides better voice quality for subscriber equipment in subscriber equipment and base station; If the distance between subscriber equipment and the base station increases, then network side can be according to the current distance between subscriber equipment and the base station, suitably reduce the code rate that subscriber equipment uses, as network side the speech encoding rate of the current use of subscriber equipment is reduced to 6.7Kbps by 7.4Kbps, the minimum speech encoding rate that subscriber equipment can be used be reduced to 4.75Kbps, by reducing the speech encoding rate that subscriber equipment uses, the proper communication that keeps subscriber equipment, and then guarantee to be the service quality that subscriber equipment provides, make service quality that communication network provides for subscriber equipment can not move and reduce owing to the position of subscriber equipment.Network side can be according to technology such as location, knows that the position of subscriber equipment in communication process move.
According to above description as seen, among the present invention the AMR speech coding technology is applied among the equilibrium of communication distance and voice quality, network side is according to the current distance between subscriber equipment and the base station, the speech encoding rate of the current use of configure user equipment, when the distance between subscriber equipment and the base station is excessive, by reducing the speech encoding rate that subscriber equipment uses, enlarge the coverage of base station.According to the corresponding relation between predefined speech encoding rate and the communication distance, coverage that can each base station is set to and the corresponding communication distance of minimum speech encoding rate, when the distance between subscriber equipment and base station is this communication distance, be the minimum speech encoding rate of this user device configuration, thereby make that the coverage of base station no longer is the scope of determining, but it is corresponding with the speech encoding rate of configuration according to coverage, improved the coverage of base station greatly, as shown in Figure 2, solid line is for covering gain among the figure, dotted line is the added value of area coverage, for the minimum speech encoding rate 4.75Kbps of user device configuration with compare for the maximum speech encoding rate 12.2Kbps of user device configuration, can obtain the edges cover gain of 2.2dB, be equivalent to increase by 30% area coverage, improved the overall performance of communication network significantly.
Though the distance between subscriber equipment and the base station increases, the link load that signal aloft transmits will increase, but because the base station is identical to the gross energy of the signal of subscriber equipment emission, the signal energy that speech encoding rate is big is just little so, opposite, the signal energy that speech encoding rate is little is just big, behind the link load through transmission, the dump energy of the signal that energy is little is just very faint, cause signal demodulation difficulty or at all can't demodulation, the proper communication of subscriber equipment is affected, even interrupts the proper communication of subscriber equipment; And the dump energy of the big signal of energy will be more relatively, and correctly demodulation makes the proper communication of subscriber equipment unaffected.
In addition, the AMR speech coding technology among being applied to communication distance and voice quality equilibrium in, also can be applicable among the equilibrium of communication network capacity and voice quality, promptly according to behind the speech encoding rate between subscriber equipment and the base station apart from the use of configure user equipment, if the load of communication network reduces, then network side can suitably improve the speech encoding rate of the current use of subscriber equipment, if the load of communication network increases, then network side can suitably reduce the speech encoding rate of the current use of subscriber equipment.
Fig. 3 is one embodiment of the invention schematic diagram, as shown in Figure 3, subscriber equipment 301 is arranged in the coverage A of base station, subscriber equipment 302 is arranged in the coverage B of base station, subscriber equipment 303 is arranged in the coverage C of base station, and the predefined speech encoding rate of network side with corresponding relation between the communication distance is: coverage A and 10.2Kbps are corresponding, coverage B is corresponding with 7.4Kbps, coverage C is corresponding with 5.15Kbps, like this, network side is that the speech encoding rate of subscriber equipment 301 configurations is 10.2Kbps, the speech encoding rate that disposes for subscriber equipment 302 is 7.4Kbps, and the speech encoding rate that disposes for subscriber equipment 303 is 5.15Kbps.If subscriber equipment 301 is to moving near the direction of base station, then network side can increase the speech encoding rate of subscriber equipment 301 current uses, as increase to 12.2Kbps according to the distance between itself and the base station.If subscriber equipment 302 moves to the direction away from the base station, then network side can reduce the speech encoding rate of subscriber equipment 302 current uses, as be decreased to 5.9Kbps according to the distance between itself and the base station.At this moment, if the load of communication network increases, then network side can suitably reduce the speech encoding rate of the current use of subscriber equipment, be reduced to 10.2Kbps as speech encoding rate by 12.2Kbps with subscriber equipment 301 current uses, the speech encoding rate of subscriber equipment 302 current uses is reduced to 5.15Kbps by 5.9Kbps, the speech encoding rate of subscriber equipment 303 current uses is reduced to 4.75Kbps by 5.15Kbps.
In a word, the above is preferred embodiment of the present invention only, is not to be used to limit protection scope of the present invention.
