Problems solved by technology

However, the heterogeneous network also has the following problems: (1) For the new transmitting node introduced, it is necessary to design the related common channel, control channel, protocol structure and physical process at the data link layer and network layer, to a certain extent This increases the complexity of the system design; (2) Since the introduction of a new transmitting node within the original cell range is equivalent to the introduction of a new interference source, it will bring greater interference to the interference coordination between cells at the physical layer. challenge
In this interference scenario, for the base station of a macro cell, it is equivalent to adding many "cell edges" inside the cell, which increases the complexity of interference coordination in the entire cell; for a closed subscriber group (CSG) base station, due to Its deployment is very random, the shape of the cell is irregular, the coverage of two different home base stations (HeNB) may overlap to a large extent, and coordinating interference between different home base stations is also a new problem
(2) Interference scenarios caused by different transmission powers of base stations in different types of cells
[0040] To sum up, in view of the fact that the existing methods in the world for enhanced co-channel interference cancellation or coordination in heterogeneous networks are not comprehensive and specific, they cannot fully meet the co-channel interference of LTE-A on the control channel between Macro-Femto cells. Elimination or coordination needs, backward compatibility and other issues, it is necessary to find a comprehensive, efficient and simple and practical method of eICIC in heterogeneous networks, base stations and user equipment

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for enhanced inter-cell interference cancellation (eICIC) in a heterogeneous network, and a corresponding base station and corresponding user equipment. A macro eNodeB (MeNB) defines a signaling to inform a home eNodeB (HeNB) of an event that MeNB cell user equipment (MUE) in a connection mode enters the edge or the neighborhood of an HeNB cell; when HeNB cell user equipment (HUE) is all located at the center of the HeNB cell, the HeNB adopts downlink power control or power settings to reduce the inter-cell interference (ICI) subjected to the MUE on a control channel; the MeNB also can adopt a mechanism of being really or falsely handed over an HeNB cell aiming at that the MUE is either CSG UE (Close Subscriber Group User Equipment) or Non-CSG UE, wherein when the MeNB is falsely handed over to the HeNB cell, a mechanism that the HeNB configures the DRX (Discontinuous Reception) of the HUE can be adopted; and when the MUE in an idle mode enters the edge or the neighborhood of the HeNB cell, if the MUE dwells at the HeNB cell, the HeNB adopts different mechanisms to reduce the ICI subjected to the MUE on the basis that that the MUE is in the connection mode or the idle mode. The method has the characteristics of simplicity, flexibility, high efficiency, and easiness to implement.
