Cell architecture, layout, working method and device

Abstract

The invention discloses a cell architecture, a layout, a working method and a device. The cells of each cell cluster are divided into two types which are anchor cells and common cells, wherein each anchor cell belongs to at least one common cell and each common cell belongs to an anchor cell; each cell cluster corresponds to a main control unit for controlling all anchor cell base station in the cell cluster and controlling all common cell base station through all anchor cell base station in the cell cluster; the anchor base stations are always in an activation state for guaranteeing the constant coverage of the cell cluster where the anchor cell base stations are in and are used for performing information transferring between main control units in the cell cluster and the all subordinate common cell base stations; and the common base stations are used for being in an activation state or in a dormancy state under the control of the main control unit in the cell cluster. By implementing the scheme of the invention, the energy consumption can be saved and the constant access of the terminal can be guaranteed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to network technology, in particular to a cell structure and its layout and working method and device. Background technique [0002] In order to further improve spectrum efficiency or supplement blindness and heat, the industry proposes a small cell application scenario, that is, to deploy small cells within the coverage area of ​​the original macro cell or in the coverage blind spot of the macro cell. [0003] figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of a deployment mode of an existing small cell. Such as figure 1 As shown, the macro cell may or may not exist. [0004] Due to the small coverage area of ​​a small cell, a large number of sites usually need to be deployed. In this way, if all the small cell base stations are always in the active state (or referred to as the on state), it will require a lot of energy consumption. [0005] For this reason, it is proposed in the prior art that the small cell base station can ent...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, when a terminal enters the coverage area of ​​a dormant small cell base station, the terminal needs to first detect the dormant small cell base station, and then activate it. These two processes will take a long time. As a result, the service of the terminal may be interrupted, that is, the continuous access of the terminal cannot be satisfied.
