Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to an access point interference coordination method, a base station, a user equipment, and a readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] In an existing network system, a user equipment (UE) can access the Internet through an access point (AP). The wireless communication technology between the user equipment and the access point is LTE or New Radio (NR). The AP can inherit some functions of the core network and be deployed in the licensed spectrum or unlicensed spectrum.

[0003] Access points (APs) can be flexibly deployed in homes, businesses and other places to provide services to a small number of users. User devices that can access APs can be referred to as contracted users. APs and macro networks form a heterogeneous network with low transmission power and limited coverage. They can be deployed at the same frequency or at different frequencies as the macro network. If APs and macro networks are deployed at different frequencies, interference may occur.

[0004] When a macro network user device that does not have permission to access an AP approaches the AP, the AP will cause downlink interference to the user device. In existing solutions, the AP's transmit power can be adjusted through interference coordination between base stations, or the user device can be switched to a different frequency or redirected to avoid co-frequency interference.

[0005] However, since the AP cell coverage is small, there may be many APs in a macro cell, or the configuration of the AP cell is not controlled by a certain operator, resulting in the macro cell may not be configured with relevant AP neighbor information. Therefore, when to trigger the user equipment to discover AP and how to determine whether the user equipment is a contracted user are not involved in the existing technology, which leads to interference to the user equipment that does not have the right to access the AP, resulting in dropped calls.

[0027] As mentioned above, since the AP cell coverage is small, there may be many APs in a macro cell, or the configuration of the AP cell is not controlled by a certain operator, resulting in the macro cell may not be configured with relevant AP neighbor information. Therefore, when to trigger the user equipment to discover the AP and how to determine whether the user equipment is a contracted user are not involved in the existing technology, which leads to interference to the user equipment that does not have the right to access the AP, resulting in dropped calls.

[0028] In an embodiment of the present invention, a trigger condition for performing access point cell measurement is configured and issued to a user device. After receiving the trigger condition, the user device performs corresponding access point cell measurement and performs access point discovery. After finding the target access point, the user device reports the identification information of the target access point and its own identification information, so that the base station can obtain the identification information of the target access point and the identification information of the user device. The base station sends the identification information of the user device to the target access point, so that the target access point obtains the identification information of the user device, and can then determine whether the user device is a contracted user. When it is determined that the user is a non-contracted user, interference coordination is performed on the user device, thereby reducing the interference of the target access point to the non-contracted user.

[0029] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and beneficial effects of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] The embodiment of the present invention provides an access point interference coordination method, referring to Figure 1 , the following is a detailed description through specific steps.

[0031] Step S101: configuring a user equipment and sending a trigger condition for performing access point cell measurement to the user equipment.

[0032] In a specific implementation, the base station can configure a trigger condition for the user equipment to perform access point cell measurement, and send the configured trigger condition to the user equipment. After receiving the trigger condition, the user equipment can trigger the access point cell measurement by itself, or trigger the access point cell measurement after receiving the indication information sent by the base station.

[0033] In the embodiment of the present invention, the access point cell may also be referred to as a small cell or a non-public network cell (NPN cell). The base station described in the embodiment of the present invention may be a macro cell base station gNB or an access point cell base station.

[0034] In a specific implementation, the trigger condition configured by the base station may include an interference measurement threshold.

[0035] In one embodiment of the present invention, after receiving the trigger condition, the user equipment detects the signal quality of the current serving cell. If it is detected that the signal quality of the current serving cell is lower than a preset interference measurement threshold, the user equipment triggers the access point cell measurement by itself.

[0036] In another embodiment of the present invention, after receiving the trigger condition, the user equipment detects the signal quality of the current serving cell. If it is detected that the signal quality of the current serving cell is lower than the preset interference measurement threshold, the user equipment reports the measurement result to the base station or reports an indication that the access point cell measurement condition is met. After receiving the measurement result or indication, the base station learns that the signal quality of the current serving cell of the user equipment is poor, and then sends a trigger indication to the user equipment. After receiving the trigger indication, the user equipment performs access point cell discovery or measurement.

[0037] In a specific implementation, the interference measurement threshold may be a signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) threshold, a reference signal received quality (RSRQ) threshold, or other thresholds that can characterize the signal quality of the current serving cell due to interference from a neighboring access point cell.

[0038] In a specific implementation, the trigger condition configured by the base station may include beam identification information.

[0039] In an embodiment of the present invention, after receiving the trigger condition, the user equipment detects the identification information of the current serving cell beam. If the identification information of the current serving cell beam is the same as the beam identification information included in the trigger condition, the access point cell measurement is triggered. The beam identification information may be the beam index, SSB index, or CSI-RS index of the data being received by the user.

[0040] For example, the identification information indicating the beam in the trigger condition is 2, that is, beam 2. After receiving the trigger condition, the user equipment detects that the beam of the current serving cell is beam 2, and thus triggers access point cell measurement.

[0041] In a specific implementation, the trigger condition configured by the base station may also include the interference measurement threshold and the beam identification information.

[0042] In an embodiment of the present invention, after receiving the trigger condition, the user equipment detects the identification information of the beam of the current serving cell. If the identification information of the beam of the current serving cell is the same as the beam identification information included in the trigger condition, the signal quality of the current serving cell is measured. If it is detected that the signal quality of the current serving cell is lower than the preset interference measurement threshold, the access point cell measurement is triggered, or the measurement result or indication is reported to the base station.

[0043] For example, the user equipment currently serves a cell with four beams. The trigger conditions configured by the base station include: beam 2, interference measurement threshold 1; beam 3, interference measurement threshold 2. Interference measurement threshold 1 and interference measurement threshold 2 can be equal or different. After receiving the trigger condition, if the currently used beam is beam 2, the user equipment measures the SINR of the current serving cell. If the SINR is less than the preset interference measurement threshold, the access point cell measurement is triggered.

[0044] Step S102: receiving reporting information of the user equipment.

[0045] In a specific implementation, after triggering the access point cell measurement, the user equipment may search for the access point signal, obtain the identification information of the target access point, and send the identification information of the target access point as reporting information to the base station.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present invention, the reporting information of the user equipment may also carry the identification information of the user equipment. After receiving the reporting information of the user equipment, the base station can obtain the identification information of the target access point and the identification information of the user equipment.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present invention, the base station may also pre-store the identification information of the user equipment. If the user equipment does not report its identification information, the base station may use the stored identification information of the user equipment.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present invention, the identification information of the target access point may be a Cell Global Identifier (CGI) of a cell corresponding to the target access point, or may be an access point base station identification. The identification information of the target access point may also include other information capable of identifying the target access point, such as an addressable address and an IP address of the target access point. The access point identification information may be obtained by the user equipment reading the access point base station broadcast.

[0049] The reporting information may also include the beam information of the target access point, which may be the identifier of the beam interfering with the user equipment or the SSB identifier information received by the user equipment from the access point base station. The reporting information may also include the measurement result corresponding to the target access point cell.

[0050] In an embodiment of the present invention, the identification information of the user equipment may be the International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) of the user equipment, or it may be the contract information reserved by the user equipment when signing the contract, or it may be other information that can identify the user equipment, such as a mobile phone number.

[0051] Step S103: determining a target access point according to the identification information of the target access point, and sending the identification information of the user equipment to the target access point.

[0052] In a specific implementation, the base station can determine the target access point searched by the user equipment according to the received reporting information. The base station can address the target access point according to the identification information of the target access point. The base station can send the identification information of the user equipment to the target access point. After receiving the identification information of the user equipment, the target access point can determine whether the user equipment is a contracted user and obtain an authentication result. The base station can address the target access point base station through the core network, or directly address the target access point base station through the access point identifier.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present invention, non-contracted users and contracted users are relative concepts. In the embodiment of the present invention, corresponding to the target AP, the user equipment that can access the target AP can be referred to as a contracted user, that is, the contracted user has the right to access the target AP. Correspondingly, the macro network user equipment that does not have the right to access the target AP is called a non-contracted user.

[0054] In actual applications, the target access point may pre-store identification information corresponding to the contracted user. After receiving the identification information of the user device, the target access point may determine whether the identification information of the user device has been stored. If the identification information of the user device has not been pre-stored, the target access point determines that the user device is a non-contracted user; conversely, if the identification information of the user device has been pre-stored, the target access point determines that the user device is a contracted user.

[0055] Step S104: receiving the authentication result fed back by the target access point.

[0056] In a specific implementation, after obtaining the authentication result, the target access point may report the authentication result to the base station. The base station may learn whether the user equipment is a contract user or a non-contract user according to the received authentication result.

[0057] Step S105: When it is determined that the user equipment is a non-subscribed user, interference coordination is performed on the user equipment.

[0058] In a specific implementation, if the base station determines that the user equipment is a non-subscribed user, interference coordination can be performed on the user equipment. The purpose of performing interference coordination on the user equipment is to reduce the interference of the target access point to the user equipment (non-authorized user).

[0059] In the embodiment of the present invention, the base station performs interference coordination on the user equipment and can configure the user equipment to perform inter-frequency switching, that is, switching the frequency currently resident on the user equipment to other frequencies, thereby effectively avoiding co-frequency interference of the target access point on the user equipment.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present invention, if the reporting information sent by the user equipment also includes the beam information of the target access point, then when performing interference coordination on the user equipment, the base station can also coordinate the target access point to reduce the power of the beam corresponding to the beam information, that is, reduce the power of the beam used by the target access point to reduce interference to the user equipment.

[0061] In a specific implementation, if the user equipment is a subscribed user, the base station may prepare for a possible subsequent handover of the user equipment.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present invention, the target access point may send its corresponding cell measurement configuration information to the base station. The base station may send the received cell measurement configuration information to the user equipment. The user equipment may perform cell measurement corresponding to the target access point according to the received cell measurement configuration information.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present invention, the measurement configuration information may include reference signal configuration information, measurement period and length information (SMTC), and the reference configuration information may include synchronization signal blocks, CSI-RS, etc. The content included in the measurement configuration information may refer to the prior art, and the embodiment of the present invention will not be repeated.

[0064] In a specific implementation, the measurement configuration information and the authentication result can be configured in the same message. When the user equipment receives the message, it can know that it is a subscribed user and the corresponding measurement configuration information for performing cell measurement.

[0065] It can be seen that in an embodiment of the present invention, a trigger condition for performing access point cell measurement is configured and issued to the user equipment. After receiving the trigger condition, the user equipment performs the corresponding access point cell measurement and performs access point discovery. After finding the target access point, the user equipment reports the identification information of the target access point and its own identification information, so that the base station can obtain the identification information of the target access point and the identification information of the user equipment. The base station sends the identification information of the user equipment to the target access point, so that the target access point obtains the identification information of the user equipment, and can then determine whether the user equipment is a contracted user. When it is determined that the user is a non-contracted user, interference coordination is performed on the user equipment, thereby reducing the interference of the target access point to the non-contracted user.

[0066] Reference Figure 2 , another access point interference coordination method in an embodiment of the present invention is given, which is described in detail through specific steps below.

[0067] Step S201: receiving a trigger condition for access point cell measurement sent by a base station.

[0068] In a specific implementation, the base station can configure a trigger condition for the user equipment to perform access point cell measurement, and send the configured trigger condition to the user equipment. After receiving the trigger condition, the user equipment can trigger the access point cell measurement by itself, or trigger the access point cell measurement after receiving the indication information sent by the base station.

[0069] In the embodiment of the present invention, the access point cell may also be referred to as a small cell or a non-public network cell (NPN cell). The base station described in the embodiment of the present invention may be a macro cell base station gNB or an access point cell base station.

[0070] In a specific implementation, the trigger condition configured by the base station may include an interference measurement threshold.

[0071] In one embodiment of the present invention, after receiving the trigger condition, the user equipment detects the signal quality of the current serving cell. If it is detected that the signal quality of the current serving cell is lower than a preset interference measurement threshold, the user equipment triggers the access point cell measurement by itself.

[0072] In another embodiment of the present invention, after receiving the trigger condition, the user equipment detects the signal quality of the current serving cell. If it is detected that the signal quality of the current serving cell is lower than the preset interference measurement threshold, the user equipment reports the measurement result to the base station or reports an indication that the access point cell measurement condition is met. After receiving the measurement result or indication, the base station learns that the signal quality of the current serving cell of the user equipment is poor, and then sends a trigger indication to the user equipment. After receiving the trigger indication, the user equipment performs access point cell discovery or measurement.

[0073] In a specific implementation, the interference measurement threshold may be a signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) threshold, a reference signal received quality (RSRQ) threshold, or other thresholds that can characterize the signal quality of the current serving cell due to interference from a neighboring access point cell.

[0074] In a specific implementation, the trigger condition configured by the base station may include beam identification information.

[0075] In an embodiment of the present invention, after receiving the trigger condition, the user equipment detects the identification information of the current serving cell beam. If the identification information of the current serving cell beam is the same as the beam identification information included in the trigger condition, the access point cell measurement is triggered. The beam identification information may be the beam index, SSB index, or CSI-RS index of the data being received by the user.

[0076] For example, the identification information indicating the beam in the trigger condition is 2, that is, beam 2. After receiving the trigger condition, the user equipment detects that the beam of the current serving cell is beam 2, and thus triggers access point cell measurement.

[0077] In a specific implementation, the trigger condition configured by the base station may also include the interference measurement threshold and the beam identification information.

[0078] In an embodiment of the present invention, after receiving the trigger condition, the user equipment detects the identification information of the beam of the current serving cell. If the identification information of the beam of the current serving cell is the same as the beam identification information included in the trigger condition, the signal quality of the current serving cell is measured. If it is detected that the signal quality of the current serving cell is lower than the preset interference measurement threshold, the access point cell measurement is triggered, or the measurement result or indication is reported to the base station.

[0079] For example, the user equipment currently serves a cell with four beams. The trigger conditions configured by the base station include: beam 2, interference measurement threshold 1; beam 3, interference measurement threshold 2. Interference measurement threshold 1 and interference measurement threshold 2 can be equal or different. After receiving the trigger condition, if the currently used beam is beam 2, the user equipment measures the SINR of the current serving cell. If the SINR is less than the preset interference measurement threshold, the access point cell measurement is triggered.

[0080] Step S202: Send reporting information to the base station, where the reporting information includes identification information of the target access point.

[0081] In a specific implementation, after triggering the access point cell measurement, the user equipment may search for the access point signal, obtain the identification information of the target access point, and send the identification information of the target access point as reporting information to the base station.

[0082] In the embodiment of the present invention, the reporting information of the user equipment may also carry the identification information of the user equipment. After receiving the reporting information of the user equipment, the base station can obtain the identification information of the target access point and the identification information of the user equipment.

[0083] In the embodiment of the present invention, the base station may also pre-store the identification information of the user equipment. If the user equipment does not report its identification information, the base station may use the stored identification information of the user equipment.

[0084] In the embodiment of the present invention, the identification information of the target access point may be a Cell Global Identifier (CGI) of a cell corresponding to the target access point, or may be an access point base station identification. The identification information of the target access point may also include other information capable of identifying the target access point, such as an addressable address and an IP address of the target access point. The access point identification information may be obtained by the user equipment reading the access point base station broadcast.

[0085] The reporting information may also include the beam information of the target access point, which may be the identifier of the beam interfering with the user equipment or the SSB identifier information received by the user equipment from the access point base station. The reporting information may also include the measurement result corresponding to the target access point cell.

[0086] In an embodiment of the present invention, the identification information of the user equipment may be the International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) of the user equipment, or it may be the contract information reserved by the user equipment when signing the contract, or it may be other information that can identify the user equipment, such as a mobile phone number.

[0087] Step S203: receiving a control signaling sent by the base station, and performing an interference coordination operation corresponding to the control signaling.

[0088] In a specific implementation, the base station can determine the target access point searched by the user equipment according to the received reporting information. The base station can address the target access point according to the identification information of the target access point. The base station can send the identification information of the user equipment to the target access point. After receiving the identification information of the user equipment, the target access point can determine whether the user equipment is a contracted user and obtain an authentication result. The base station can address the target access point base station through the core network, or directly address the target access point base station through the access point identifier.

[0089] In the embodiment of the present invention, non-contracted users and contracted users are relative concepts. In the embodiment of the present invention, corresponding to the target AP, the user equipment that can access the target AP can be referred to as a contracted user, that is, the contracted user has the right to access the target AP. Correspondingly, the macro network user equipment that does not have the right to access the target AP is called a non-contracted user.

[0090] In actual applications, the target access point may pre-store identification information corresponding to the contracted user. After receiving the identification information of the user device, the target access point may determine whether the identification information of the user device has been stored. If the identification information of the user device has not been pre-stored, the target access point determines that the user device is a non-contracted user; conversely, if the identification information of the user device has been pre-stored, the target access point determines that the user device is a contracted user.

[0091] In a specific implementation, after obtaining the authentication result, the target access point may report the authentication result to the base station. The base station may learn whether the user equipment is a contract user or a non-contract user according to the received authentication result.

[0092] In a specific implementation, if the base station determines that the user equipment is a non-subscribed user, interference coordination can be performed on the user equipment. The base station can send a control signaling to the user equipment, and the user equipment can perform corresponding interference coordination operations after receiving the control signaling. In a specific application, interference coordination is performed on the user equipment to reduce the interference of the target access point to the user equipment (non-authorized user).

[0093] In the embodiment of the present invention, the base station performs interference coordination for the user equipment, can configure the user equipment to perform inter-frequency switching, and send a switching instruction to the user equipment. After receiving the switching instruction, the user equipment switches the current resident frequency to another frequency, thereby effectively avoiding the target access point from inter-frequency interference to the user equipment.

[0094] In an embodiment of the present invention, if the reporting information sent by the user equipment also includes the beam information of the target access point, then when performing interference coordination on the user equipment, the base station can also coordinate the target access point to reduce the power of the beam corresponding to the beam information, that is, reduce the power of the beam used by the target access point to reduce interference to the user equipment.

[0095] In a specific implementation, if the user equipment is a subscribed user, the base station may prepare for a possible subsequent handover of the user equipment.

[0096] In an embodiment of the present invention, the target access point may send its corresponding cell measurement configuration information to the base station. The base station may send the received cell measurement configuration information to the user equipment. The user equipment may perform cell measurement corresponding to the target access point according to the received cell measurement configuration information.

[0097] In the embodiment of the present invention, the measurement configuration information may include reference signal configuration information, measurement period and length information (SMTC), and the reference configuration information may include synchronization signal blocks, CSI-RS, etc. The content included in the measurement configuration information may refer to the prior art, and the embodiment of the present invention will not be repeated.

[0098] In a specific implementation, the measurement configuration information and the authentication result can be configured in the same message. When the user equipment receives the message, it can know that it is a subscribed user and the corresponding measurement configuration information for performing cell measurement.
