[0041] Among them, N adjacent cells can be formed into a super cell, and a cell belonging to a super cell is called a CP, where the value of N can be selected according to hardware capabilities, computational complexity, etc. Each super cell is equipped with a centralized scheduler to centrally manage the entire super cell, and each CP is equipped with a distributed scheduler to perform distributed scheduling of each CP user.

[0042] Only one PCI is configured for a super cell. From the perspective of UE (User Equipment), only one large cell can be seen, but the N CPs in the super cell cannot be seen.

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, the super cell scheduling method of the embodiment of the present invention is applied to a scheduling system, including:

[0046] The centralized scheduler schedules initial BWP (Bandwidth part, bandwidth slice), and configures and schedules common channels and common messages.

[0047] Among them, the common channels and common messages are channels and messages related to PCI in the super cell, such as access messages, synchronization channels, broadcast channels and broadcast messages, paging messages, etc. These common channels and common messages are uniformly configured and scheduled by the centralized scheduler.

[0048] Step 202: The central scheduler configures dedicated scheduling parameters for the UE accessing the super cell.

[0049] In one embodiment, the method further includes: the centralized scheduler determining a home CP of the UE.

[0050] In one embodiment, the central scheduler determines the home CP of the UE including:

[0051] The centralized scheduler periodically determines the home CP of the UE during and after the UE accesses, and determines the CP with the largest signal strength received from the UE as the home CP of the UE.

[0052] In one embodiment, step 202 includes:

[0053] The centralized scheduler configures dedicated PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel) parameters, dedicated PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) parameters and dedicated PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel) parameters for the UE accessing the super cell.

[0054] In one embodiment, the centralized scheduler configures dedicated PUSCH parameters of all UEs in the hyper cell to be different from each other, configures dedicated PDCCH parameters of all UEs in the hyper cell to be different from each other, and configures dedicated PDSCH parameters of all UEs in the hyper cell to be different from each other.

[0055] The centralized scheduler configures different dedicated scheduling parameters for the UEs, thereby realizing independent scheduling of each CP and avoiding mutual interference between CPs.

[0056] In one embodiment, the dedicated PUSCH parameters include an uplink DMRS scrambling identifier in a DMRS (Demodulation reference signal) generation sequence of the PUSCH. The dedicated PDCCH parameters include the DMRS scrambling identifier n corresponding to the DMRS generation sequence of the PDCCH IDThe dedicated PDSCH parameters include the downlink DMRS scrambling identifier in the DMRS generation sequence of the PDSCH

[0061] The higher-layer parameter hoppingId in the base sequence generation of PUCCH formats 0, 1, 3, and 4, and the scrambling identifier in the DMRS generation sequence of PUCCH format 2

[0062] The above-mentioned PUCCH format refers to the format specified by 3GPP.

[0063] Step 203: The distributed scheduler concurrently schedules the UEs belonging to the CP corresponding to the distributed scheduler according to the dedicated scheduling parameters of the UEs.

[0064] In one embodiment, step 203 includes:

[0065] The distributed scheduler schedules the PDCCH resources, PDSCH resources and PUSCH resources of the UE according to the dedicated scheduling parameters of the UE.

[0066] The distributed scheduler determines the UE belonging to the corresponding CP according to the instruction of the centralized scheduler, obtains the dedicated scheduling parameters of the UE, and schedules the remaining resources after the centralized scheduler completes the scheduling in step 201.

[0067] In one embodiment, after step 203, the method further includes:

[0068] The centralized scheduler uniformly schedules PUCCH resources for UEs scheduled by the distributed scheduler.

[0069] The PUCCH resource here is a PUCCH dynamic feedback resource.

[0070] Since the centralized scheduler periodically determines the home CP of the UE, if the home CP of the UE changes during movement, the distributed scheduler corresponding to the new home CP completes the distributed scheduling of the UE.

[0071] The embodiment of the present invention increases the number of single-time scheduled users of the super cell by configuring dedicated scheduling parameters for UE and combining a centralized scheduler with a distributed scheduler, thereby increasing the system capacity of the super cell and maximizing the capacity of the super cell.

[0075] In one embodiment, step 301 includes:

[0076] The centralized scheduler schedules the initial BWP, and configures and schedules common channels and common messages.

[0077] Among them, the common channels and common messages are channels and messages related to PCI in the super cell, such as access messages, synchronization channels, broadcast channels and broadcast messages, paging messages, etc. These common channels and common messages are uniformly configured and scheduled by the centralized scheduler.

[0078] Step 302: The centralized scheduler configures dedicated scheduling parameters for the UE accessing the super cell, so that the distributed scheduler concurrently schedules the UEs belonging to the CP corresponding to the distributed scheduler.

[0079] In one embodiment, the method further comprises:

[0080] The centralized scheduler determines a home CP of the UE.

[0081] In one embodiment, the centralized scheduler determines the home CP of the UE, including:

[0087] The centralized scheduler configures different dedicated scheduling parameters for the UEs, thereby realizing independent scheduling of each CP and avoiding mutual interference between CPs.

[0088] In one embodiment, the dedicated PUSCH parameter includes an uplink DMRS scrambling identifier in the DMRS generation sequence of the PUSCH. The dedicated PDCCH parameters include the DMRS scrambling identifier n corresponding to the DMRS generation sequence of the PDCCH ID The dedicated PDSCH parameters include the downlink DMRS scrambling identifier in the DMRS generation sequence of the PDSCH

[0095] The higher-layer parameter hoppingId in the base sequence generation of PUCCH formats 0, 1, 3, and 4, and the scrambling identifier in the DMRS generation sequence of PUCCH format 2

[0096] The above-mentioned PUCCH format refers to the format specified by 3GPP.

[0097] After the distributed scheduler completes scheduling of the UE, the centralized scheduler uniformly schedules PUCCH dynamic feedback resources for the UE.

[0098] Since the centralized scheduler periodically determines the home CP of the UE, if the home CP of the UE changes during movement, the centralized scheduler notifies the distributed scheduler corresponding to the new home CP so that the distributed scheduler completes the distributed scheduling of the UE.

[0099] The embodiment of the present invention increases the number of single-time scheduled users of the super cell by configuring dedicated scheduling parameters for UE and combining a centralized scheduler with a distributed scheduler, thereby increasing the system capacity of the super cell and maximizing the capacity of the super cell.

[0108] The dedicated scheduling parameters of the UEs are different from each other, so that independent scheduling of each CP can be achieved, thereby avoiding mutual interference between CPs.

[0109] In one embodiment, the dedicated PUSCH parameter includes an uplink DMRS scrambling identifier in the DMRS generation sequence of the PUSCH. The dedicated PDCCH parameters include the DMRS scrambling identifier n corresponding to the DMRS generation sequence of the PDCCH ID The dedicated PDSCH parameters include the downlink DMRS scrambling identifier in the DMRS generation sequence of the PDSCH

[0112] The distributed scheduler schedules the PDCCH resources, PDSCH resources and PUSCH resources of the UE according to the dedicated scheduling parameters of the UE.

[0113] If the CP to which the UE belongs changes during the movement, the distributed scheduler corresponding to the new CP will complete the distributed scheduling of the UE.

[0115] The following are some application examples.

[0116] Application Example 1: The flowchart of this application example is as follows Figure 5 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0117] Step 501, establishing a super cell Cell1;

[0118] In this application example, three adjacent cells are formed into a super cell. Assume that the three cells are CP1, CP2, and CP3. The formed super cell is recorded as Cell1. A centralized scheduler is set for Cell1 to centrally manage Cell1. A distributed scheduler is set for CP1, CP2, and CP3 to perform distributed scheduling for each CP user.

[0119] Step 502, configure PCI for Cell1;

[0120] From the UE's perspective, only Cell 1 can be seen, and the PCI of Cell 1 can be obtained, but CP1, CP2, and CP3 in Cell 1 cannot be seen;

[0121] The above steps 501 and 502 can be set through the network management.

[0122] Step 503, the centralized scheduler configures and schedules the common resources of Cell1;

[0123] The centralized scheduler configures and schedules the initial BWP of Cell1 and the channels and messages related to PCI in Cell1, such as access messages, synchronization channels, broadcast channels, broadcast messages, and paging messages.

[0124] Step 504: Assume that there are three UEs accessing, namely UE1, UE2 and UE3, and the centralized scheduler determines their CPs;

[0125] The centralized scheduler determines the CPs to which each UE belongs based on the signal strength received by each CP: UE1 belongs to CP1, UE2 belongs to CP2, and UE3 belongs to CP3;

[0126] Step 505, the centralized scheduler configures dedicated scheduling parameters for UE1, UE2 and UE3 respectively;

[0127] The centralized scheduler configures dedicated PUSCH, PDSCH, and PDCCH parameters for UE1, UE2, and UE3, respectively, including the uplink DMRS scrambling identifier in the DMRS generation sequence of the PUSCH specified in the 5G protocol 3GPP TS 38.211. The corresponding DMRS scrambling identifier n in the DMRS generation sequence of the PDCCH ID , Downlink DMRS scrambling flag in the DMRS generation sequence of PDSCH It is required that the three parameters of UE1, UE2 and UE3 have different values. In addition, the SRS resources and PUCCH resources of UE1, UE2 and UE3 are uniformly allocated by the centralized scheduler, and the high-level parameter hoppingId in the base sequence generation of PUCCH formats 0, 1, 3, and 4, or the scrambling identifier in the DMRS generation sequence of PUCCH format 2 And the SRS sequence identifier generated by SRS For UE1, UE2 and UE3, the same value is configured.

[0128] Step 506, the distributed schedulers corresponding to CP1, CP2 and CP3 respectively schedule UE1, UE2 and UE3 in parallel;

[0129] The distributed scheduler schedules the PDCCH, PDSCH and PUSCH of UE1, UE2 and UE3 in a distributed manner, and the available resources are all the remaining resources after the centralized scheduler completes the scheduling in step 503.

[0130] Step 507 : The centralized scheduler uniformly allocates PUCCH resources to UE1 , UE2 and UE3 that have been scheduled in step 506 .

[0131] The PUCCH resource here is a PUCCH feedback dynamic resource.

[0132] Step 508: If the CP to which UE1 belongs changes to CP2 during the movement, the distributed scheduler corresponding to CP2 implements distributed scheduling for UE1 and UE2.

[0133] Application Example 2: The flowchart of this application example is as follows Figure 6 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0134] Step 601, establishing a super cell Cell1;

[0135] In this application example, five adjacent cells are formed into a super cell. Assume that the five cells are CP1, CP2, CP3, CP4 and CP5. The formed super cell is recorded as Cell1. A centralized scheduler is set for Cell1 to centrally manage Cell1. A distributed scheduler is set for CP1, CP2, CP3, CP4 and CP5 to perform distributed scheduling for each CP user.

[0136] Step 602, configure PCI for Cell1;

[0137] From the UE's perspective, only Cell1 can be seen and the PCI of Cell1 can be obtained, but CP1, CP2, CP3, CP4, and CP5 in Cell1 cannot be seen;

[0138] The above steps 601 and 602 can be set through the network management.

[0139] Step 603, the centralized scheduler configures and schedules the common resources of Cell1;

[0140] The centralized scheduler configures and schedules the initial BWP of Cell1 and the channels and messages related to PCI in Cell1, such as access messages, synchronization channels, broadcast channels, broadcast messages, and paging messages.

[0141] Step 604, assuming that there are five UEs accessing, namely UE1, UE2, UE3, UE4 and UE5, the centralized scheduler determines their CPs;

[0142] The centralized scheduler determines the CPs to which each UE belongs based on the signal strength received by each CP: UE1 belongs to CP1, UE2 belongs to CP2, UE3 belongs to CP3, UE4 belongs to CP4, and UE5 belongs to CP5;

[0143] Step 605, the centralized scheduler configures dedicated scheduling parameters for UE1, UE2, UE3, UE4 and UE5 respectively;

[0144] The centralized scheduler configures dedicated PUSCH, PDSCH, and PDCCH parameters for UE1, UE2, UE3, UE4, and UE5, respectively, including the uplink DMRS scrambling identifier in the DMRS generation sequence of the PUSCH specified in the 5G protocol 3GPP TS 38.211. The corresponding DMRS scrambling identifier n in the DMRS generation sequence of the PDCCH ID , Downlink DMRS scrambling flag in the DMRS generation sequence of PDSCH It is required that the three parameters of UE1, UE2, UE3, UE4, and UE5 have different values. In addition, the SRS resources and PUCCH resources of UE1, UE2, UE3, UE4, and UE5 are uniformly allocated by the centralized scheduler, and the high-level parameter hoppingId in the base sequence generation of PUCCH formats 0, 1, 3, and 4, or the scrambling identifier in the DMRS generation sequence of PUCCH format 2 And the SRS sequence identifier generated by SRS The same value is configured for UE1, UE2, UE3, UE4 and UE5.

[0145] Step 606, the distributed schedulers corresponding to CP1, CP2, CP3, CP4 and CP5 respectively schedule UE1, UE2, UE3, UE4 and UE5 in parallel;

[0146] The distributed scheduler schedules the PDCCH, PDSCH and PUSCH of UE1, UE2, UE3, UE4 and UE5 in a distributed manner, and the available resources are all the remaining resources after the centralized scheduler completes the scheduling in step 603.

[0147] Step 607 : The centralized scheduler uniformly allocates PUCCH resources to UE1 , UE2 , UE3 , UE4 and UE5 that have been scheduled in step 606 .

[0148] The PUCCH resource here is a PUCCH dynamic feedback resource.

[0149] Step 608: If the CP of UE2 changes to CP3 during the movement, and the CP of UE4 changes to CP5 during the movement, the distributed scheduler corresponding to CP3 completes the distributed scheduling of UE2 and UE3, and the distributed scheduler corresponding to CP5 completes the distributed scheduling of UE4 and UE5.
