[0017] Hereinafter, in order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be described in more detail by way of examples with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present application shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0018] Hereinafter, terms in the embodiments of the present application are explained.
[0019] Macro base station: a large base station erected on a steel tower, generally having 3 sectors, covering all directions, with high transmission power, a large coverage area, and a large number of accommodated users.
[0020] Micro base stations are small base stations installed in buildings and densely populated areas. These base stations have a small volume, low power consumption, small coverage area, and a low number of users they can accommodate.
[0021] Victim base station: In a Flexible Time Division Duplex (F-TDD) communication system, this is a base station that is being interfered with. In the embodiments of this application, the victim base station may be the next generation node base station (gNB) or the evolved node base station (eNB), etc.
[0022] An aggressor base station is a base station that interferes with an affected base station in a Flexible Time Division Duplex (F-TDD) communication system. In the embodiments of this application, the aggressor base station may be a gNB or an eNB, etc.
[0023] Currently, Time Division Duplex (TDD) communication systems operate in Half-Duplex (HD) mode. In HD mode, the frame structure is strictly divided into Down Link (DL) time slots, Up Link (UL) time slots, and Special (S) time slots, where the S time slot can be used for DL, UL, or Guard Period (GP). To improve network throughput, 5G commercial networks typically have a large number of DL time slots, resulting in fewer UL time slots. This limits UL transmission speed and increases UL transmission delay, which is detrimental to Ultra-Reliability Low Latency Communication (URLLC) applications such as automated control and control-to-control.
[0024] Flexible Time Division Duplex (F-TDD) communication systems are a viable technical means to solve the above problems. Also known as Dynamic TDD, F-TDD can flexibly allocate UL time slots and DL time slots according to the DL business conditions, thereby meeting the demands of dynamically changing business and improving the performance of 5G-Advanced communication systems. There are two typical network deployment scenarios for F-TDD communication systems. One is a single-layer network structure, where all base stations in the network are of the same type, for example, macro base stations or micro base stations. The other is a two-layer network structure, where the first layer of the network consists of macro base stations, which are generally located outdoors, and the second layer consists of micro base stations, which are generally located indoors.
[0025] In a single-layer network, different base stations use flexible frame structures. In a two-layer network, macro base stations can be configured with a frame structure primarily consisting of DLs; for example, a frame structure with five time slots is DDDSU, where D represents a DL time slot, S a special time slot, and U a UL time slot. Micro base stations in the second layer can be configured with a flexible frame structure; for example, a frame structure with five time slots is FFFFF, where F represents a flexible time slot. Micro base stations in the second layer can also be configured with a frame structure primarily consisting of ULs; for example, a frame structure with five time slots is DSUUU, where D represents a DL time slot, S a special time slot, and U a UL time slot.
[0026] Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of different base stations in a two-layer network structure. Here, the base stations include gNB0 and gNB1, where gNB0 is a macro base station and its coverage is indicated by a dashed circle. gNB1 is a micro base station and its coverage is indicated by a solid circle. In time slots #0 to #4, the frame structure of gNB0 is DDDSU and the frame structure of gNB1 is DSUUU. As shown in Figure 1, in time slot #2, the transmission directions of the two base stations gNB0 and gNB1 are different, with gNB0 transmitting DL data to UE0 and gNB1 receiving UL data from UE1. In this case, gNB0's DL transmission interferes with gNB1's UL reception, i.e., gNB-gNB CLI occurs, and UE1's UL transmission interferes with UE0's DL reception, i.e., UE-UE CLI occurs. Here, the degree of interference between gNB-gNB CLI and UE-UE CLI differs depending on the beam direction.
[0027] The two types of CLI described above affect reception at base stations and UEs, reducing the received signal-to-noise ratio and increasing the error rate. As a result, they impact the overall performance of 5G-Advanced communication systems. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt appropriate technologies to suppress CLI in F-TDD communication systems and improve their performance. Coordinated scheduling between gNBs is a viable technology for suppressing CLI in F-TDD communication systems, but the premise of coordinated scheduling is that various system placement information must be exchanged between gNBs. This system placement information includes frame structure, bandwidth allocation, channel and signal allocation, and measurement reports of mutual interference between base stations.
[0028] To enable collaborative scheduling between base stations, suppress CLI in different beam directions in F-TDD communication systems, and reduce the impact of CLI on the performance of 5G-Adv communication systems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a CLI measurement method in which an interfering base station transmits a measurement signal to a damaged base station using a different beam, and the damaged base station further measures the measurement signal transmitted from the interfering base station to estimate the CLI values of the different beams. Based on the CLI values of the different beams, a corresponding CLI suppression technique can be obtained, supporting time-frequency resource scheduling between base stations, suppressing CLI in F-TDD communication systems, and reducing the impact of CLI on the performance of 5G-Adv communication systems.
[0029] The CLI measurement method provided by the embodiment of this application will be described in detail below, based on specific examples.
[0030] Referring to Figure 2, Figure 2 is a first flowchart of a CLI measurement method provided by an embodiment of the present application, the method being applied to a damaged base station, which can correspond to one or more interfering base stations, i.e., one or more interfering base stations interfering with the damaged base station. The CLI measurement method includes the following steps.
[0031] Step S21: Within the interferometric measurement window, different measurement signals are received from the interferometric base station using different beams, and the measurement signals correspond one-to-one with the beams, and the directions of the different beams are different.
[0032] Step S22: Based on each measurement signal, measure the CLI value of the beam corresponding to each measurement signal.
[0033] In the technical solution provided by the embodiment of this application, the interfering base station transmits measurement signals to the affected base station using different beams, and the affected base station further measures the different measurement signals within the interference measurement window, thereby obtaining the CLI values of the different measurement signals, i.e., the CLI values of the beams corresponding to the different measurement signals. Based on the CLI values of the different beams, appropriate CLI suppression techniques can be obtained, and by coordinating the scheduling of time-frequency resources between base stations, CLI in different beam directions in the F-TDD communication system can be suppressed, improving the performance of the F-TDD communication system. In addition, the affected base station measures the measurement signals corresponding to different beams only within the interference measurement window, reducing the complexity of interference measurement at the affected base station and saving energy at the affected base station.
[0034] In step S21 described above, the measurement signal may be a unique signal transmitted from the interfering base station, or a non-unique signal transmitted from the interfering base station.
[0035] For example, the measurement signal is a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB), which is a unique signal transmitted from an interfering base station and is a non-zero power signal. The measurement signal may also be a Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS), which is a non-unique signal transmitted from an interfering base station and is a non-zero power signal. The above SSB corresponds one-to-one with a wide beam, that is, the base station transmits the SSB using a wide beam. The above CSI-RS corresponds one-to-one with a narrow beam, that is, the base station transmits the SSB using a narrow beam. Multiple narrow beams are contained within the range of one wide beam. In the embodiment of the present application, the wide beam corresponding to the SSB is called the SSB beam, and the narrow beam corresponding to the CSI-RS is called the CSI-RS beam.
[0036] At different interfering base stations, the placement of measurement signals (such as the SSB and CSI-RS mentioned above) may be the same or different. If the measurement signals at each interfering base station are placed in different time slots, the affected base station will need to perform CLI measurements in all time slots where the measurement signals are placed, which not only increases the complexity of the interference measurement at the affected base station but is also detrimental to the energy conservation of the affected base station. In the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention, an interference measurement window is placed at the affected base station, and the affected base station performs CLI measurements of the beam only within the interference measurement window. This technique not only reduces the complexity of the interference measurement at the affected base station but also saves energy at the affected base station.
[0037] To enable the affected base station to effectively complete the beam CLI measurement, the interfering base station may place the measurement signals within an interferometric measurement window and transmit the measurement signals within that window. In other words, the interfering base station has one or more measurement signals, and these one or more measurement signals are included in one or more measurement signals transmitted within that interferometric measurement window.
[0038] In practical applications, base stations can be divided into full-duplex and half-duplex base stations. The interference measurement window occupies one or more consecutive time slots when the affected base station and the interfering base station are full-duplex base stations; that is, an interference measurement window can be placed in any position and is not restricted. When the affected base station and the interfering base station are half-duplex base stations, the interference measurement window occupies one or more consecutive designated time slots, where the designated time slots are flexible time slots, or where the designated time slots are the uplink time slot of the affected base station and the downlink time slot of the interfering base station. When the affected base station is a full-duplex base station and the interfering base station is a half-duplex base station, the interference measurement window occupies one or more consecutive designated time slots, where the designated time slots are the downlink time slots of the interfering base station. When the affected base station is a half-duplex base station and the interfering base station is a full-duplex base station, the interference measurement window occupies one or more consecutive designated time slots, where the designated time slots are the uplink time slots of the affected base station.
[0039] There may be one or more interference measurement windows; that is, one or more interference measurement windows may be located at the affected base station, each interference measurement window having a unique identifier (Identify, ID), and the activated interference measurement windows are used for CLI measurement; that is, the affected base station measures the CLI value of the beam corresponding to each measurement signal based on the measurement signals received within the activated interference measurement windows. To enable control of the activated interference measurement windows at the affected base station, a controller may be added to the F-TDD communication system, and as shown in Figure 3, the controller completes the arrangement and activation of the interference measurement windows at the affected base station, where Figure 3 represents a beam transmitting signals in an elongated elliptical pattern. However, the controller may be any base station in the F-TDD communication system, a Central Unit (CU) in the F-TDD communication system, or other devices in the F-TDD communication system, but is not limited to these. The controller can complete the configuration of the interference measurement window via a loopback link (Xn interface or F1 interface) or Over-the-Air Technology (OTA) and exchange the necessary configuration information required by the affected base station and the interfering base station in CLI measurements. Here, the necessary configuration information includes, but is not limited to, frame structure configuration information, Bandwidth Part (BWP) configuration information, beam configuration information, CLI resource configuration information, CLI report configuration information, channel and signal time-frequency resource configuration information, power parameters, etc.The time-frequency resource allocation information for channels and signals may include SSB, CSI-RS, Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) signals, Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) signals, Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH), Sounding Reference Signal (SRS), and others.
[0040] In embodiments of the present invention, the controller can transmit interference measurement window placement information to the affected base station. For convenience of explanation and understanding, the interference measurement window placement information will hereinafter be abbreviated as second placement information. After receiving the second placement information, the affected base station can activate the default interference measurement window among all interference measurement windows based on the received second placement information of the interference measurement windows; that is, it enables the default interference measurement window among all interference measurement windows. Here, it is by default that the interference measurement window is the first interference measurement window or other designated interference measurement window placed at the affected base station. In embodiments of the present invention, the controller can also transmit interference measurement window placement information to the interfering base station, and after receiving the second placement information, the interfering base station can activate the default interference measurement window among multiple interference measurement windows.
[0041] The controller sends an active message, such as a second active message, to the affected base station, which includes an identifier for an interference measurement window awaiting activation. After receiving the second active message from the controller, the affected base station, upon reaching the next frame cycle, deactivates the activated interference measurement window and activates an interference measurement window awaiting activation based on the second active message. In this way, the controller activates only one interference measurement window at the affected base station at a time, avoiding mutual interference between multiple interference measurement windows and improving the accuracy of beam CLI measurements. The controller may send a second active message to the interfering base station as described above to activate the necessary interference measurement windows.
[0042] Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the controller places interference measurement window placement information on the damaged base station, the damaged base station can activate the default interference measurement window. If it is necessary to change the activated interference measurement window, the controller sends a second active message to the damaged base station to change the activated interference measurement window. As a result, after placing the interference measurement window placement information, the damaged base station activates only one interference measurement window, ensuring CLI measurement.
[0043] In the embodiments of the present invention, the second placement information for one interference measurement window indicates the time slot occupied by the interference measurement window. Here, the second placement information for each interference measurement window includes one or more placement parameters from the reference subcarrier space (SCS) of the interference measurement window, the length of the interference measurement window, the period of the interference measurement window, and the offset amount of the interference measurement window within one frame period.
[0044] (1) The reference SCS for the interference measurement window is the fixed SCS or the SCS of the affected base station.
[0045] To avoid the SCS of the interfering base station and the affected base station being different, it is necessary to clarify the reference SCS of the interference measurement window. The reference SCS of the interference measurement window can be determined in the following two ways.
[0046] Method 1: The reference SCS is fixed to a specific SCS; that is, the reference SCS is a fixed SCS. For example, Frequency Range (FR) 1 is fixed to 15 kHz, and FR 2 is fixed to 60 kHz.
[0047] Method 2: The reference SCS is determined based on the SCS of the affected base station; that is, the reference SCS may be the SCS of the affected base station. In this way, the affected base station and the interfering base station can determine other parameters such as the length, period, and offset of the interference measurement window using their own SCSs. In Method 2, the reference SCS values for the interference measurement window may be {15KHz, 30KHz, 60KHz, 120KHz}.
[0048] Compared to Method 2, Method 1 does not require the introduction of new placement parameters, and if the frequency range is clear, the controller, interfering base station, and affected base station can determine the reference SCS. However, if the actual SCS of the interfering base station and the affected base station differ from the reference SCS, extra computation is incurred. In the embodiment of the present invention, if the reference SCS is not placed, the affected base station can determine the reference SCS using Method 1 by default. If the placement of the reference SCS is clarified, the affected base station determines the reference SCS using Method 2.
[0049] (2) The length of the interference measurement window is less than or equal to the frame period.
[0050] The length of the interferometry window is directly related to the frame period, and once the reference SCS is determined, the number of time slots within one frame period is determined. The maximum length of the interferometry window does not exceed the frame period. Taking the unit of the interferometry window as time slots as an example, the values of the length of the interferometry window may be {1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, 40, 64, 80, 128, 160}.
[0051] For example, if the frame period is 20 time slots, the length of the interference measurement window is a maximum of 20 time slots, and if the frame period is 160 time slots, the length of the interference measurement window is a maximum of 160 time slots.
[0052] (3) The period of the interference measurement window is an integer multiple of the frame period.
[0053] The period of the interferometry window has a direct relationship with the frame period, and the period of the interferometry window can be set to an integer multiple of the frame period. For example, if the unit of the interferometry window is a time slot, the value of the period of the interferometry window can be N*{1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, 40, 64, 80, 128, 160}, where N is a positive integer, for example, the value of N can be {1, 2, 4, 8}. Based on this, the maximum value of N is 8, and the maximum value of the frame period is 160 time slots, so the period of the interferometry window does not exceed 8*160=1280, that is, the value of the period of the interferometry window can be {1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, 40, 64, 80, 128, 160, 256, 320, 512, 640, 1024, 1280}.
[0054] Considering that the maximum SCS value of the base station is 120 kHz, each time slot occupies 0.125 ms, so 0.125 ms * 1280 = 160 ms. As can be seen from this, the period of the interference measurement window does not exceed 160 ms.
[0055] (4) The offset amount of the interference measurement window within one frame period does not exceed the last time slot within the frame period.
[0056] The above-mentioned offset amount of the interference measurement window is the specific offset amount of the interference measurement window within the frame period, and the offset amount of the interference measurement window is within the range of the frame period. Taking the unit of the interference measurement window as a time slot as an example, the value of the offset amount of the interference measurement window within one frame period may be {0, ..., 159}. In this case, the sum of the offset amount of the interference measurement window and the length of the interference measurement window may exceed the frame period, and the portion of the interference measurement window that exceeds the frame period becomes invalid, that is, the portion of the interference measurement window that exceeds the frame period cannot be used for CLI measurement.
[0057] To improve the completeness and accuracy of beam CLI measurements, within one frame period, the sum of the offset amount of the interferometry window and the length of the interferometry window does not exceed the last time slot within the frame period. In other words, the interferometry window does not extend beyond the last time slot within the frame period, meaning the interferometry window is entirely within one frame period, and the entire interferometry window can be used for CLI measurements.
[0058] The second placement information of the above interference measurement window can also be converted to units of ms, and the units of the above placement can also be converted to ms depending on the time length of the time slot in the reference SCS.
[0059] In the embodiments of the present invention, the maximum number of interference measurement windows that can be placed at the affected base station may be 2, 4, 8, etc. If it is necessary to update an activated interference measurement window, the controller may send an identifier of the interference measurement window that needs to be activated to the affected base station by an additional message, such as the second active message described above, and the second active message becomes effective in the period of the next interference measurement window following the period of the interference measurement window to which the second active message is sent, i.e., it becomes effective in the next frame period. In the embodiments of the present invention, the controller may, but is not limited to, send second placement information of interference measurement windows to the interfering base station and activate the interference measurement windows that need to be activated by the second active message.
[0060] Let's take the example where the measurement signal is SSB, and the frame structure of both the affected base station and the interfering base station is DFFFU, with D indicating the DL time slot, U indicating the UL time slot, and F indicating the flexible time slot. One base station is one cell, and the arrangement of the interference measurement window and SSB beam is as shown in Figure 4. Figure 4 has four cells, namely cells 1-3 of the three interfering base stations and cell 4 of the affected base station. In cell 1, the SSB is located in the D time slot and the first F time slot; in cell 2, the SSB is located in the D time slot; and in cell 3, the SSB is located in the D time slot, the first F time slot, and the second F time slot. In Figure 4, only a portion of the SSB beam is shown, as shown in the teardrop-shaped pattern. In cell 4 of the affected base station, the interference measurement window is located in the first F time slot and the second F time slot. As a result, the affected base station can measure the CLI via the SSB beam to the affected base station in cell 1 and cell 3 during the interferometry measurement window, while in cell 2, since SSB is not placed in the first and second F time slots, the affected base station cannot measure the CLI via the SSB beam to the affected base station in cell 2 during the interferometry measurement window.
[0061] SSBs can only be placed in the first half of a frame within the SSB placement period, and the interference measurement window may not be able to fully cover all SSBs, such as the SSB in cell 2 in Figure 4. To enable the affected base station to measure all possible interference beams, multiple CSI-RSs can be placed in the interference measurement window, with each CSI-RS corresponding to one narrow beam, thereby achieving beam coverage. Regarding the mapping relationship between wide beams and narrow beams, one wide beam range contains multiple narrow beams, for example, 2, 4, 8, etc. The specific number of narrow beams and the corresponding frequency area resource placement for the CSI-RS can be placed by the controller based on the number of SSBs of the interfering base station and the location of the interference measurement window in order to place the CSI-RS in the interference measurement window and transmit specific placement information to the interference measurement window. As shown in Figure 5, Figure 5 shows the interference measurement window and the placement of CSI-RS beams, where each SSB beam range contains four CSI-RS beams, and each CSI-RS beam corresponds to one CSI-RS. Figure 5 shows a portion of the CSI-RS beams as shown in the elliptical pattern. The grid-hatched rectangular boxes indicate the resource layout of CSI-RS.
[0062] In the embodiments of the present application, the time-domain resources occupied by an SSB corresponding to one SSB beam may be the same as or different from the time-domain resources occupied by multiple CSI-RS beams corresponding to several CSI-RS beams within the range of the SSB beam. The frequency-domain resources occupied by an SSB corresponding to one SSB beam may be the same as or different from the frequency-domain resources occupied by multiple CSI-RS beams corresponding to several CSI-RS beams within the range of the SSB beam. The time-frequency-domain resources occupied by an SSB corresponding to one SSB beam are different from the time-frequency-domain resources occupied by multiple CSI-RS beams corresponding to several CSI-RS beams within the range of the SSB beam.
[0063] In the embodiments of this application, the measurement signals (e.g., the SSB and CSI-RS mentioned above) can be divided into measurement signals for CLI measurement and measurement signals for CLI beam management. The two measurement signals for different applications can be individually configured, with one signal for CLI measurement and the other for CLI beam management. The two measurement signals for different applications can also be configured as the same measurement signal, allowing one measurement signal to be used for both CLI measurement and CLI beam management. In the embodiments of this application, the two measurement signals for different applications are collectively referred to as the measurement signal.
[0064] The prerequisite for performing CLI measurements between base stations is that the synchronization of placement information between the base stations has been completed. Among multiple base stations controlled by a single controller, there may be multiple interfering base stations and multiple damaged base stations at the same time. The controller can allocate time-frequency area resources to the interfering base station that are occupied by the measurement signals. That is, it transmits resource placement information for the measurement signals, such as the second resource placement information of the interfering base station, to the interfering base station, and the second resource placement information indicates the time-frequency area resources occupied by each of the measurement signals of the interfering base station. Based on the second resource placement information, the interfering base station can transmit measurement signals to the damaged base station using different beams. At the same time, the controller can also inform the damaged base station of the second resource placement information of the interfering base station, thereby enabling CLI measurements of subsequent beams.
[0065] The controller places resource allocation information for CLI measurement, such as first resource allocation information, for each affected base station. The first resource allocation information includes the ID of the first resource allocation information and the second resource allocation information of each interfering base station, with the ID of the first resource allocation information corresponding one-to-one with the ID of the affected base station. The affected base station receives the first resource allocation information transmitted from the controller, and then completes the beam CLI measurement based on the first resource allocation information, obtaining specific beam measurement results for each measurement signal, and can restrict the beam that the corresponding interfering base station transmits data to.
[0066] An interfering base station may deploy one beam or multiple beams. Multiple beams can be either wide beams or narrow beams, and both types of beams can coexist. Therefore, an interfering base station can deploy SSB resources corresponding to wide beams and CSI-RS resources corresponding to narrow beams. SSB resource allocation information is also called SSB beam resource allocation information, and CSI-RS resource allocation information is also called CSI-RS beam resource allocation information.
[0067] Regarding wide beams, each wide beam corresponds to SSB, and wide beams are also called SSB beams. In order for the affected base station to measure the CLI value using the interfering base station's SSB beam, it is necessary to exchange SSB beam resource allocation information (such as the second resource allocation information mentioned above) between different base stations. This exchange process can be carried out by a controller, which transmits the SSB beam resource allocation information of each interfering base station to the affected base station.
[0068] The resource allocation information for all interfering base stations' SSB beams constitutes a single SSB allocation set. Within this SSB allocation set, the resource allocation information for one interfering base station's SSB beams may include the base station's unique ID and the allocation information for all SSBs within that base station. Each SSB's allocation information may include its resource ID, period, and the location of the SSB's time-frequency area resource. The SSB's allocation information indicates the time-frequency area resource occupied by each SSB.
[0069] The maximum number of SSB beam resource allocation information entries that can be placed in a single controller is the same as the maximum number of base stations that can be controlled by a single controller. The value of the maximum number of SSB beam resource allocation information entries is determined according to the actual situation and can be set to, for example, 16, 32, or 64. The maximum number of SSBs that can be placed in a single base station may be 64, 128, or the like.
[0070] For narrow beams, the controller can arrange a measurement signal corresponding to each narrow beam, thereby establishing a one-to-one correspondence between the narrow beam and the measurement signal. Here, the signal for CLI measurement is CSI-RS, which can be denoted as CLI-RS, and the narrow beam corresponding to each CLI-RS can be denoted as a CLI-RS beam. To distinguish it from CSI-RS currently used for other applications, in the embodiment of this application, one instruction parameter corresponding to CLI is introduced into the CLI-RS resource allocation information (for example, the second resource allocation information described above), for example, cli-info. When the CLI-RS resource allocation information includes an instruction parameter corresponding to CLI, it indicates that the CLI-RS is used for CLI measurement of the corresponding beam.
[0071] In order for the affected base station to measure the CLI value of the interfering base station's CLI-RS beam, CLI-RS resource allocation information needs to be exchanged between different base stations. In practice, the controller transmits the CLI-RS resource allocation information of each interfering base station to the affected base station in order to complete the exchange of beam information, including resource allocation information, between base stations.
[0072] The CLI-RS resource placement information for each interfering base station may include the unique ID of the interfering base station and the CLI-RS placement information for that interfering base station. Here, the CLI-RS resource placement information for the interfering base station may include the placement information for all CLI-RS of the interfering base station, and the CLI-RS placement information may include the resource ID, period, type, power setting, time-frequency resource location, etc. for each CLI-RS.
[0073] The number of CLI-RS resource placement information entries and the ID of each CLI-RS resource placement information entry at each interfering base station can be set according to the actual situation. For example, the maximum number of deployable CLI-RS resource placement information entries may be 16, 32, or 64. CLI-RS resource placement information can include multiple CLI-RS resource sets, each CLI-RS resource set containing multiple CLI-RS resources, and each CLI-RS resource having a unique ID. The placement of CLI-RS resource sets and CLI-RS resources can refer to the placement of CSI-RS resources in current 5G communication systems, but the difference is that the specified parameter cli-info described above must be additionally introduced to the CSI-RS resource set to indicate that the CSI-RS resource set is to be used for beam CLI measurement. The CSI-RS signal type for beam CLI measurement may be periodic, aperiodic, or semi-persistent.
[0074] The interfering base station transmits a measurement signal using different beams based on the second resource placement information described above. The affected base station receives at least one measurement signal transmitted from the interfering base station within the interference measurement window, and further performs step S22 to measure a measurement signal such as SSB or CLI-RS within the interference measurement window and obtain the CLI values of the different beams between the interfering base station and the affected base station, i.e., obtain the respective CLI values for each beam. In the embodiments of the present invention, the CLI values may be determined based on, but are not limited to, the Reference Signal Received Power (SS-RSRP) or the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI).
[0075] Step S22 will be explained using the SSB beam and CLI-RS beam as examples.
[0076] For SSB beams and SSBs corresponding to SSB beams, the affected base station can measure the RSRP of each SSB of the interfering base station within the interference measurement window, based on the Secondary Synchronization Signals (SSS) of each SSB of the interfering base station, and record it as CLI-SSB-RSRP. For each SSB, the affected base station stores the base station ID, SSB index, and CLI-SSB-RSRP corresponding to that SSB. The SSB index can refer to the resource ID of the above SSB.
[0077] For CLI-RS corresponding to a CLI-RS beam, the affected base station measures the RSRP of each CLI-RS of the interfering base station within the interference measurement window and records it as CLI-RSRP. For each CLI-RS, the affected base station stores the base station ID, CLI-RS index, and CLI-RSRP corresponding to that CLI-RS. The CLI-RS index can be determined by the CLI-RS resource placement information ID + CSI-RS resource set ID + CSI-RS resource ID. In the embodiment of the present invention, multiple CLI-RS resource placement information can be placed in one base station, each CLI-RS resource placement information corresponds to multiple CSI-RS resource sets, and each CSI-RS resource set corresponds to multiple CSI-RS.
[0078] At the damaged base station, the beam measurement results of all SSB beams and CLI-RS beams obtained from the measurements, for example, the CLI-SSB-RSRP and CLI-RSRP mentioned above, can be divided into short-term (ST) CLI values and long-term (LT) CLI values. The short-term CLI values are, in other words, the CLI-SSB-RSRP and CLI-RSRP obtained for each CLI measurement as described above. That is, the damaged base station can measure the current RSRP of each measurement signal and obtain the CLI value of the beam corresponding to each measurement signal, i.e., the short-term CLI value of the beam corresponding to each measurement signal.
[0079] The long-term CLI value is the CLI value obtained by the affected base station by filtering or arithmetic averaging the short-term CLI values within a long period of time. In other words, the affected base station can measure the current RSRP for each measurement signal and update the long-term CLI value for the beam corresponding to each measurement signal based on the current RSRP and historical RSRP for each measurement signal. Here, the historical RSRP may be the long-term CLI value obtained in the previous measurement. The affected base station can calculate the long-term CLI value using the following equation (1).
[0080] [Formula 1]
number
[0081] In equation (1), RSRP Avg (t) represents the long-term CLI value at the current time t, RSRPA Ins (t) represents the current RSRP, i.e., the RSRP at the current time t. Avg (t-1) represents the historical RSRP, i.e., the long-term CLI value obtained at the previous time t-1, and γ represents the filter coefficient, with a range of [0, ..., 1], where the value of γ can be selected according to the actual situation. RSRP Avg The initial value can be set according to the actual traffic and environment, for example, RSRP Avg The initial value is set to 0 by default.
[0082] In the embodiment of the present invention, the historical RSRP may be, but is not limited to, the short-term CLI values for each time point acquired before the current time. In this case, the affected base station can calculate the long-term CLI value using the following equation (2).
[0083] [Formula 2]
number
[0084] In equation (2), RSRP Avg(t) represents the long-run CLI value at the current time t, RSRP Ins (t) represents the current RSRP, i.e., the RSRP at the current time t. Ins (ti) represents the historical RSRP, i.e., the RSRP at time ti, also known as the short-term CLI value at time ti, where i=1, ..., N-1, and N represents the total number of short-term CLI values obtained.
[0085] The above calculation of long-term CLI values can also be performed by the controller, which calculates them using equation (1) or equation (2) based on historical RSRP and short-term CLI values reported from the affected base station.
[0086] In the embodiment of the present invention, the controller can transmit to the damaged base station via the reporting arrangement information in the beam measurement results which CLI values to acquire and which CLI values to report to the controller.
[0087] In some embodiments, the embodiments of the present application provide a method for measuring CLI interference applied to an affected base station, as shown in Figure 6, which may include the following steps.
[0088] Step S61: Receive different measurement signals transmitted from the interfering base station using different beams within the interfering measurement window, where the measurement signals correspond one-to-one with the beams, and the directions of the different beams are different. This is the same as step S21 above.
[0089] Step S62: Based on each measurement signal, measure the CLI value of the beam corresponding to each measurement signal. This is the same as step S22 above.
[0090] Step S63: Generate beam measurement results based on the respective CLI values for each beam.
[0091] Step S64: Send beam measurement results to the controller.
[0092] In the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the affected base station can measure the respective CLI values of each beam, generate corresponding beam measurement results based on the reported placement information placed by the controller, and transmit the beam measurement results to the controller. Subsequently, the controller can perform cooperative scheduling between the interfering base station and the affected base station based on the beam measurement results, that is, schedule time-frequency area resources between the interfering base station and the affected base station, for example, by temporarily suspending the transmission of the interfering base station's downlink channel or signal, reducing the transmission power of the downlink channel or signal, or notifying the affected base station to temporarily suspend UL scheduling, thereby solving the problem that the interfering base station and the affected base station cannot independently complete cooperative scheduling.
[0093] In step S63 above, CLI measurements are performed to measure the short-term CLI value or long-term CLI value of each beam. After that, the damaged base station generates beam measurement results according to the reporting type in the reporting placement information.
[0094] The following methods can be used to specify the type of information to be reported in the report placement information.
[0095] Method 1: Report everything. That is, the affected base station reports the beam measurement results for all beams to the controller. In this case, the beam measurement results include the identifier of the interfering base station, the identifier of each measurement signal, and the CLI value of the beam corresponding to each measurement signal. For example, the beam measurement results may be {base station 1, measurement signal 1, CLI value 1 of the beam corresponding to measurement signal 1}, {base station 1, measurement signal 2, CLI value 2 of the beam corresponding to measurement signal 2}, {base station 2, measurement signal 1, CLI value 1 of the beam corresponding to measurement signal 1}, and {base station 2, measurement signal 2, CLI value 2 of the beam corresponding to measurement signal 2}, and so on.
[0096] In this case, the controller makes determinations based on the respective CLI values of each beam at each interfering base station, determining the necessary and recommended beams to restrict at each interfering base station.
[0097] In the embodiments of the present invention, there may be multiple damaged base stations, and in order to determine the beam measurement results of each damaged base station and perform accurate collaborative scheduling, the beam measurement results may further include the ID of the damaged base station.
[0098] Method 2: Partial reporting. If the RSRP of a measurement signal is greater than the first preset CLI threshold, the beam corresponding to that measurement signal is a limiting beam, and the beam corresponding to that measurement signal interferes with the affected base station. For the sake of distinction and understanding, in the embodiment of this application, the limiting beam corresponding to a measurement signal whose RSRP is greater than the first preset CLI threshold is abbreviated as the first limiting beam, and the affected base station generates beam measurement results for the first limiting beam. If the RSRP of a measurement signal is less than the second preset CLI threshold, the beam corresponding to that measurement signal is a recommended beam. For the sake of distinction and understanding, in the embodiment of this application, the recommended beam corresponding to a measurement signal whose RSRP is less than the second preset CLI threshold is abbreviated as the first recommended beam, and the affected base station generates beam measurement results for the first recommended beam. In other words, if a first limiting beam or a first recommended beam exists among all the beams used by the interfering base station, beam measurement results for the first limiting beam or the first recommended beam are generated, and furthermore, the beam measurement results for the first limiting beam or the first recommended beam are reported. The RSRP of the above measurement signal is the CLI value of the beam corresponding to the measurement signal.
[0099] If a partial reporting method is adopted, the beam measurement results may include the identifier of the interfering base station, a first restricted beam list, and a first recommended beam list. The first restricted beam list includes the identifier of the measurement signal corresponding to each first restricted beam and the CLI value for each first restricted beam, and the first recommended beam list includes the identifier of the measurement signal corresponding to each first recommended beam and the CLI value for each first recommended beam. A first restricted beam (Forbidden Beam) is a beam whose CLI value is greater than the first preset CLI threshold, and which seriously interferes with the reception of the affected base station, so the affected base station suggests that the interfering base station avoid using it. A first recommended beam (Preferred Beam) is a beam whose CLI value is less than the second preset CLI threshold, and which the affected base station recommends for use by the interfering base station. The first preset CLI threshold and the second preset CLI threshold can be set according to actual demand. Here, the identifier of the interfering base station, the first restricted beamlist, and the first recommended beamlist have a corresponding relationship. For example, one identifier of an interfering base station corresponds to one first restricted beamlist and one first recommended beamlist, thereby facilitating the rapid and accurate determination of the required and recommended beams restricted by each interfering base station. For example, beam measurement results include {interfering base station identifier 1, first restricted beamlist 1, first recommended beamlist 1}, {interfering base station identifier 2, first restricted beamlist 2, first recommended beamlist 2}, and so on.
[0100] If a partial reporting method is adopted, the beam measurement results may include the identifier of the interfering base station, a first limited beamlist, and a first recommended beamlist, where the first limited beamlist includes the identifier of the measurement signal corresponding to each of the first limited beams, and the first recommended beamlist includes the identifier of the measurement signal corresponding to each of the first recommended beams. Here, the affected base station reduces the information it reports to the controller and saves bandwidth resources. There is a correspondence between the interfering base station identifier, the first limited beamlist, and the first recommended beamlist. For example, the beam measurement results may include {interfering base station identifier 1, first limited beamlist 1, first recommended beamlist 1}, {interfering base station identifier 2, first limited beamlist 2, first recommended beamlist 2}, etc.
[0101] The identifier of a measurement signal can be determined based on the type of measurement signal. For example, if the measurement signal is SSB, the identifier of the measurement signal can refer to the SSB index mentioned above. By combining the identifier of the interfering base station with the SSB index, the SSB can be uniquely identified, and further, the corresponding wide beam can be uniquely identified. If the measurement signal is CLI-RS, the identifier of the measurement signal can refer to the CLI-RS index mentioned above. By combining the identifier of the interfering base station with the CLI-RS index, the CLI-RS can be uniquely identified, and further, the corresponding narrow beam can be uniquely identified.
[0102] Regarding method 1, reporting all beam measurement results occupies a large amount of bandwidth resources, whereas method 2 can conserve bandwidth resources. In practice, the controller can configure whether the beam measurement results reported from the damaged base station include ST CLI values or LT CLI values, and whether all or part of them are reported.
[0103] The controller may assign the same reporting type to all base stations it controls, or it may assign different reporting types. If the LI CLI value is calculated by the controller, the controller must, but is not limited to, assign the reporting type of the affected base station to include the ST CLI value and full reporting in the beam measurement results. In practice, to reduce the complexity of the controller, all base stations controlled by the controller use the same reporting type. For example, the reporting type used by all base stations controlled by the controller is to include the ST CLI value in the beam measurement results and report everything.
[0104] In embodiments of the present invention, if the reporting type of the affected base station is to report all, the beam measurement results may include an SSB beamlist and a CLI-RS beamlist, where the SSB beamlist may include an identifier of the measurement signal corresponding to each SSB beam and the CLI value of each SSB beam, and the CLI-RS beamlist may include an identifier of the measurement signal corresponding to each CLI-RS beam and the CLI value of each CLI-RS beam. The SSB beamlist and the CLI-RS beamlist include an identifier of the measurement signal corresponding to each of all beams of the interfering base station and the CLI value of each beam.
[0105] If the reporting type for a damaged base station is partial reporting, the beam measurement results will be divided into a first restricted beamlist, a restricted SSB beamlist, and a restricted CLI-RS beamlist, and a first recommended beamlist, a recommended SSB beamlist, and a recommended CLI-RS beamlist. The restricted SSB beamlist includes the identifier of the measurement signal corresponding to the SSB beam that needs to be restricted and the CLI value of the SSB beam; the restricted CLI-RS beamlist includes the identifier of the measurement signal corresponding to the CLI-RS beam that needs to be restricted and the CLI value of the CLI-RS beam; the recommended SSB beamlist includes the identifier of the measurement signal corresponding to the recommended SSB beam that needs to be restricted and the CLI value of the SSB beam; and the recommended CLI-RS beamlist includes the identifier of the measurement signal corresponding to the CLI-RS beam that needs to be recommended and the CLI value of the CLI-RS beam.
[0106] In the embodiments of the present invention, if the reporting type of the damaged base station does not match the list included in the deployed beam measurement results, the damaged base station does not need to report the beam measurement results to the controller. For example, if the deployed beam measurement results include an SSB beamlist and a CLI-RS beamlist, and the reporting type is partial reporting, the damaged base station does not need to report the beam measurement results to the controller.
[0107] After acquiring the beam measurement results, the affected base station performs step S64 and then reports the beam measurement results to the controller for collaborative scheduling.
[0108] The beam measurement results may be reported periodically or as event-triggered reports.
[0109] In the case of periodic reporting, beam measurement results are reported from the affected base station to the controller according to a predetermined reporting cycle (i.e., a preset reporting cycle), meaning that the latest beam measurement results are sent to the controller according to the preset reporting cycle. Here, the unit of the preset reporting cycle is the same as the unit of the interferometry window, the preset reporting cycle is greater than or equal to the period of the interferometry window actually used, and the maximum value of the preset reporting cycle does not exceed the maximum deployable period of the interferometry window, i.e., the preset reporting cycle is less than or equal to the maximum deployable period of the interferometry window. If the preset reporting cycle is greater than the period of the interferometry window, the affected base station reports the latest beam measurement results.
[0110] In the case of an event-triggered report, the affected base station reports the beam measurement results to the controller when the pre-configured trigger conditions are met. The pre-configured trigger conditions are that the first limiting beam changes and / or the first recommended beam changes among the beams corresponding to at least one measurement signal. In other words, the pre-configured trigger conditions are that the identifier of the measurement signal included in the first limiting beam list at the current time is not exactly the same as the identifier of the measurement signal included in the first limiting beam list previously reported to the controller, or that the identifier of the measurement signal included in the first recommended beam list at the current time is not exactly the same as the identifier of the measurement signal included in the first recommended beam list previously reported to the controller.
[0111] For periodic measurement signals, the reporting method for the corresponding beam measurement results may be periodic or event-triggered. For aperiodic or semi-sustained measurement signals, the reporting method for the corresponding beam measurement results may be event-triggered.
[0112] In the embodiment of the present invention, there may be multiple damaged base stations, and in order to determine the CLI measurement results of each damaged base station and perform accurate collaborative scheduling, the beam measurement results may also include the ID of the damaged base station. The ID of the damaged base station corresponds one-to-one with the identifier of the first resource placement information.
[0113] After receiving the beam measurement results of CLI measurements transmitted from each affected base station, the controller can determine the beam measurement results for different beams from different affected base stations based on the identifier of the interfering base station, the identifier of the measurement signal, the identifier of the affected base station, etc., in the beam measurement results.
[0114] The controller performs collaborative scheduling based on beam measurement results for different beams from different damaged base stations.
[0115] The collaborative scheduling process involves the controller receiving beam measurement results reported by each affected base station, determining all sets of beam measurement results that interfere with other base stations from each interfering base station, and then transmitting beam information corresponding to each measurement signal in that beam measurement result set to each interfering base station. Based on this beam information, the interfering base stations avoid scheduling downlink transmissions on the interfering beams as much as possible. The affected base stations can then schedule uplink transmissions on the interfering beams based on the determined first limiting beam and first recommended beam. The beam measurement result set includes a second limiting beam list and a second recommended beam list, where the second limiting beam is a beam awaiting limiting and the second recommended beam is a beam awaiting recommendation, and the beam information may include the index of the measurement signal corresponding to the beam and the identifier of the interfering base station.
[0116] Beam measurement results reported from affected base stations include beam measurement results from different beams of different interfering base stations. For a given interfering base station, its beam measurement results may come from different affected base stations. The controller can consolidate all beam measurement results reported from each affected base station, distinguish between beam measurement results from different interfering base stations, and perform unified collaborative scheduling.
[0117] For all beam measurement results from an interfering base station, the controller determines which beams from that base station interfere with other base stations based on the correspondence between these beams and the measured signals. The controller can determine whether the interfering beam is determined based on the ST CLI value or the LT CLI value. The interfering beam is the beam that interferes with other base stations, and the interfering beam may be the first limiting beam or the second limiting beam described above.
[0118] If the LT CLI value is required and the affected base station reports the ST CLI value, the controller can calculate the LT CLI value from the ST CLI value according to equation (1) above. If the controller places the affected base station and reports the LT CLI value, the controller cannot determine the interference beam of the interfering base station, i.e., the second limiting beam, using the ST CLI value. Alternatively, the interference beam of the interfering base station can also be determined based on the type reported by the affected base station, as follows.
[0119] A. The reporting type for damaged base stations is to report all of them.
[0120] If the reporting method for beam measurement results is to report all results, the controller can determine which beams interfere and which do not, i.e., the second limiting beam and the second recommended beam.
[0121] The controller and the damaged base station use the same method for determining the second limiting beam and the second recommended beam. The first preset CLI threshold and the second preset CLI threshold of the controller and the damaged base station can be set as pre-configured fixed values, or they can be determined based on the algorithms of the controller and the damaged base station themselves, and are not particularly limited.
[0122] B. The type of report regarding the damaged base station is partial.
[0123] If the reporting method for beam measurement results is partial reporting, the controller can determine the second limiting beam and second recommended beam of the interfering base station using the first limiting beam and first recommended beam reported from the affected base station.
[0124] The second limiting beam and the second recommended beam can include an SSB beam and a CLI-RS beam, where the SSB beam corresponds one-to-one with an SSB resource and the CLI-RS beam corresponds one-to-one with a CLI-RS resource. In practice, a beam from an interfering base station is the first limiting beam for the affected base station and the first recommended beam for other affected base stations, and since limiting beams have a higher priority, that beam is considered the second limiting beam.
[0125] For example, if the affected base station reports some of the beam measurement results, and the beam measurement results include a first limiting beamlist and a first recommended beamlist, the measurement signals whose identifiers are included in either of the first limiting beamlists are called first measurement signals, and the measurement signals whose identifiers are included in either of the first recommended beamlists are called second measurement signals. The controller can determine the beam corresponding to each first measurement signal as the second limiting beam of the interfering base station transmitting the first measurement signal, and the beam corresponding to each second measurement signal as the second recommended beam of the interfering base station transmitting the second measurement signal.
[0126] By using the requirement that all affected base stations report, and if the beam measurement results do not include the first limiting beamlist and the first recommended beamlist, each beam measurement result for a single measurement signal includes the CLI value of that measurement signal. In other words, for a single measurement signal, multiple CLI values of that measurement signal can be obtained from multiple beam measurement results. The controller can determine the second limiting beam and the second recommended beam of the interfering base station based on the CLI values included in each beam measurement result, specifically, The controller determines that the beam corresponding to a measurement signal is the second limiting beam of the interfering base station transmitting the measurement signal if any of the target CLI values of a measurement signal are greater than the first preset CLI threshold. The controller determines that the beam corresponding to a measurement signal is the second recommended beam of the interfering base station transmitting the measurement signal if all of the target CLI values of a measurement signal are less than or equal to the first preset CLI threshold, and any of the target CLI values of the measurement signal are less than the second preset CLI threshold.
[0127] Here, if the CLI value included in the beam measurement result is the current RSRP of the measurement signal, i.e., the CLI value included in the beam measurement result is a short-time CLI value, then the target CLI value is the current RSRP included in the beam measurement result, i.e., the target CLI value can be a short-time CLI value, or the target CLI value is the RSRP determined based on the current RSRP and historical RSRP included in the beam measurement result, i.e., the target CLI value can be a long-time CLI value. If the CLI value included in the beam measurement result is the RSRP determined based on the current RSRP and historical RSRP, i.e., the CLI value included in the beam measurement result is a long-time CLI value, then the target CLI value is the RSRP included in the beam measurement result, i.e., the target CLI value is the CLI value included in the beam measurement result, i.e., the target CLI value is a long-time CLI value.
[0128] After determining the second limiting beam and the second recommended beam, the controller transmits beam information for the second limiting beam and the second recommended beam to the interfering base station. If the interfering base station does not have a second limiting beam or a second recommended beam, the controller does not need to transmit beam information to the interfering base station.
[0129] After receiving beam information for the second limiting beam and the second recommended beam, the interfering base station limits the second limiting beam, for example, restricting the transmission of data to the user device using a beam in the same direction as the second limiting beam. In the embodiment of the present invention, the second limiting beam prevents the affected base station from being unable to perform normal CLI measurements by limiting only data transmission other than the measurement signal, without limiting the measurement signal.
[0130] In the embodiment of the present invention, since all beams of a single interfering base station may interfere with other base stations, if the interfering base station restricts scheduling with these beams, there will be no data transmission at that base station, affecting its performance. To avoid this situation, the controller can avoid setting all beams of the interfering base station as second-limiting beams by setting an upper limit on the number of second-limiting beams. The number of second-limiting beams is set at a certain percentage depending on the total number of beams of the interfering base station. For example, in an interfering base station, the ratio of second-limiting beams to all beams of the interfering base station is smaller than a preset percentage, and the preset percentage can be set according to the actual demand. For example, the preset percentage can be {10%, 20%, 30%, 50%, ..., 90%}. Also, the number of times a second-limiting beam is limited is greater than the number of times other beams of the interfering base station are limited. In other words, the selection of second-limiting beams can be determined from beams that are determined as second-limiting beams to beams that are determined as second-limiting beams more often to beams that are determined as second-limiting beams less often. This minimizes CLI.
[0131] On the other hand, in reality, some users may be semi-fixed users who do not move for long periods, and restricting beams to these users for extended periods would affect their normal data transmission. In this case, the controller can set up a restriction window, where, at the interfering base station, the restriction window is a window that restricts the second restricted beam, and at the affected base station, the restriction window is a window that restricts the same beam as the pointed area of the first restricted beam. Specifically, within the restriction window, the interfering base station is restricted from transmitting data using the second restricted beam, and the affected base station is not restricted from receiving data using the same beam as the pointed area of the first restricted beam. Outside the restriction window, the interfering base station is not restricted from transmitting data using the second restricted beam, and the affected base station is restricted from receiving data using the same beam as the pointed area of the first restricted beam.
[0132] In Figure 3, both Beam 1 and Beam 2 refer to the area where the device UE0 is located. When Beam 1 is determined as the first limiting beam by gNB1 and as the second limiting beam by the controller, within the activated limiting window, gNB0 is restricted from transmitting data using Beam 1, and gNB1 is not restricted from receiving data using Beam 2. Outside the activated limiting window, gNB0 is not restricted from transmitting data using Beam 1, but gNB1 is restricted from receiving data using Beam 2.
[0133] In some embodiments, the controller sends an active message, such as a first active message, to the affected base station, which includes an identifier for a restriction window awaiting activation. This restriction window is a window that restricts the same beam as the directional area of the first restriction beam. After receiving the first active message from the controller, the affected base station deactivates the activated restriction window and activates the restriction window awaiting activation based on the first active message when it reaches the next frame cycle. Within the activated restriction window, the affected base station can receive data transmitted from the user equipment using beams in any direction. The affected base station reduces the impact of CLI by restricting the reception of data transmitted from the user equipment using the same beam as the directional area of the first restriction beam outside the activated restriction window.
[0134] The controller sends an active message, such as a third active message, to the affected base station. The third active message includes an identifier for a restriction window awaiting activation, which is the window that restricts the second restriction beam. After the interfering base station receives the third active message from the controller, when it reaches the next frame cycle, it deactivates the activated restriction window and activates the restriction window awaiting activation based on the third active message. Within the activated restriction window, the interfering base station is restricted from transmitting data to user equipment using the second restriction beam, but can transmit data to user equipment using the second recommended beam, thereby reducing the impact of the CLI. Outside the activated restriction window, the interfering base station can transmit data to user equipment using beams in any direction, ensuring a certain degree of performance for the interfering base station.
[0135] Here, there may be one or more restriction windows, each restriction window having a unique ID, and only one restriction window may be activated at a time, i.e., only one restriction window may be enabled at a time, and the enabled restriction window may be used for beam restriction. The controller may transmit first placement information for multiple restriction windows to the interfering base station or the affected base station. To ensure the quality of communication, after receiving the first placement information for a restriction window, the interfering base station and the affected base station may activate a default restriction window among all the restriction windows based on the received first placement information for the restriction window, and the first placement information indicates the time slot that the restriction window occupies. Here, the default restriction window may be the first restriction window that is placed. If it is necessary to adjust the restriction windows, the controller may send a first active message to the affected base station and a third active message to the interfering base station. In the embodiment of the present application, in order to conserve resources of the interfering base station and the affected base station, the interfering base station and the affected base station may activate the corresponding restriction window after receiving the first active message or the third active message. At the same time, the interfering base station and the affected base station begin restricting the beam they use after the restriction window has been enabled.
[0136] In this way, the controller activates only one restriction window at a time, thus avoiding excessive restriction time that could affect data transmission. Furthermore, in the embodiment of this invention, once the controller places the restriction window placement information on the interfering base station and the affected base station, the interfering base station and the affected base station can activate the default restriction window. If it is necessary to change the activated restriction window, the controller sends an active message to the interfering base station and the affected base station to change the activated restriction window. As can be seen from this, after placing the restriction window placement information, the interfering base station and the affected base station activated one restriction window to ensure data transmission.
[0137] In the embodiments of the present application, the placement information for the limiting window indicates the time slot occupied by the limiting window. For convenience of explanation and understanding, the placement information for the interference measurement window will hereinafter be abbreviated as the second placement information. In the embodiments of the present application, if the controller cannot determine the placement information that fits the limiting window, the controller may carry the first placement information for the necessary limiting window awaiting activation in the first active message and the third active message. Based on the first placement information for the limiting window awaiting activation, when the next frame cycle is reached, the interfering base station and the affected base station activate the limiting window awaiting activation in the time slot indicated by the first placement information for the limiting window awaiting activation. The first placement information includes one or more placement parameters from the reference SCS of the limiting window, the length of the limiting window, the period of the limiting window, and the offset amount of the limiting window within one frame cycle.
[0138] (1) The reference SCS for the restriction window may be the SCS of the interfering base station, and no additional settings are required.
[0139] (2) The length of the limit window is less than or equal to the frame period.
[0140] The length of the limit window is directly related to the frame period, and once the reference SCS is determined, the number of time slots within one frame period is determined. The maximum limit window does not exceed the frame period. Taking the unit of the limit window as a time slot as an example, the length of the limit window may be {1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, 40, 64, 80, 128, 160}.
[0141] For example, if the frame period is 20 time slots, the limit window length is a maximum of 20 time slots, and if the frame period is 160 time slots, the limit window length is a maximum of 160 time slots.
[0142] (3) The period of the limit window is an integer multiple of the frame period.
[0143] The period of the limit window is directly related to the frame period, and the period of the limit window can be set to an integer multiple of the frame period. For example, if the unit of the limit window is a time slot, the value of the period of the limit window can be N*{1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, 40, 64, 80, 128, 160}, where N is a positive integer, for example, the value of N can be {1, 2, 4, 8}. Based on this, the maximum value of N is 8, and the maximum value of the frame period is 160 time slots, so the period of the limit window does not exceed 8*160=1280, that is, the value of the period of the limit window can be {1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 32, 40, 64, 80, 128, 160, 256, 320, 512, 640, 1024, 1280}.
[0144] Considering that the maximum SCS value for the base station is 120KHz, each time slot occupies 0.125ms, so 0.125ms * 1280 = 160ms. As can be seen from this, the period of the limiting window does not exceed 160ms.
[0145] (4) The offset amount of the limit window within one frame period does not exceed the last time slot within the frame period.
[0146] The above limit window offset is the specific offset amount of the limit window within the frame period, and the limit window offset amount is within the range of the frame period. For example, if the unit of the limit window is a time slot, the value of the limit window offset amount within one frame period may be {0, ..., 159}. In this case, the sum of the limit window offset amount and the length of the limit window may exceed the frame period, and the portion of the limit window that exceeds the frame period becomes invalid, that is, the portion of the limit window that exceeds the frame period cannot be used to limit the beam.
[0147] To improve beam limiting efficiency, within one frame period, the sum of the limiting window offset and the limiting window length does not exceed the last time slot within the frame period; that is, the limiting window does not extend beyond the last time slot within the frame period, meaning the limiting window is entirely within one frame period, and the entire limiting window can be used to restrict data reception or transmission using the second limiting beam.
[0148] The first placement information in the above restriction window can also be converted to units of milliseconds, and the units of the above placement can also be converted to milliseconds depending on the length of the time slot in the SCS of the interfering base station.
[0149] In the embodiments of the present invention, the maximum number of restricting windows that can be placed may be 2, 4, 8, etc. When restricting windows are placed, the controller places at least one restricting window, and if multiple restricting windows are placed, the first restricting window is activated by default; that is, the first restricting window is the activated restricting window by default. If it is necessary to update an activated restricting window, the controller may send the identifier of the restricting window awaiting activation to the interfering base station via additional information such as the third active message described above, and send the identifier of the restricting window awaiting activation to the affected base station via additional information such as the first active message described above.
[0150] Before the affected base station returns beam measurement results, the controller can place all restriction windows for each interfering base station. After receiving the beam measurement results returned from the affected base station, the controller can select and activate one appropriate restriction window from all the restriction windows based on the beam measurement results. If no appropriate restriction window exists, the controller can place a new restriction window for the interfering base station and activate it at the same time. The controller can also place a restriction window for the interfering base station and activate it at the same time after receiving the beam measurement results returned from the affected base station.
[0151] Regarding beam placement information such as the placement information of the restriction window, the second restricting beam, and the second recommended beam, the controller can transmit the beam placement information of each interfering base station to the corresponding interfering base station. Based on the placement information of the second restricting beam, the second recommended beam, and the restriction window in the beam placement information, the interfering base station will avoid transmitting data using the second restricting beam in the activated restriction window and will transmit data using the second recommended beam as much as possible.
[0152] A damaged base station can schedule a beam in any direction to receive data within the activated restriction window of an interfering base station, and avoids receiving data using the same beam as the first restricted beam of the interfering base station outside the activated restriction window, or does not schedule data to be received using that beam.
[0153] The invention provides a technical solution for beam-based CLI measurement, reporting, and collaborative scheduling in a 5G-Adv communication system, specifically, beam measurement, reporting, and collaborative scheduling between base stations using measurement signals corresponding to beams. After the controller places the measurement signals and interference measurement windows, the affected base station receives the measurement signals in the interference measurement window, measures the CLI value of the beam corresponding to the measurement signals, and reports the CLI value to the controller, enabling the affected base station to perform CLI measurements effectively. The controller aggregates all reported CLI values and determines the second limiting beam, second recommended beam, and limiting window, thereby coordinating scheduling between the interfering base station and the affected base station. The above technology improves the overall performance of the F-TDD communication system by utilizing collaborative scheduling technology between base stations to avoid or suppress CLI.
[0154] Corresponding to the CLI measurement method applied to the affected base station described above, an embodiment of the present invention provides a CLI measurement method applied to an interfering base station, wherein the interfering base station has at least one measurement signal, the time-frequency area resources occupied by some or all of the at least one measurement signal are within the interfering measurement window, the measurement signals correspond one-to-one with beams, and the beams have different directions. As shown in Figure 7, the method includes the following steps. Step S71: Obtain second resource placement information of the interfering base station, wherein the second resource placement information indicates a time-frequency area resource occupied by at least one measurement signal. Step S72: Based on the second resource placement information, transmit a measurement signal to the damaged base station using a different beam.
[0155] In the technical solution provided by the embodiment of this application, the interfering base station transmits measurement signals to the affected base station using different beams, and the affected base station further measures the different measurement signals within the interference measurement window, thereby obtaining the CLI values of the different measurement signals, i.e., the CLI values of the beams corresponding to the different measurement signals. Based on the CLI values of the different beams, appropriate CLI suppression techniques can be obtained, and by coordinating the scheduling of time-frequency resources between base stations, CLI in different beam directions in the F-TDD communication system can be suppressed, improving the performance of the F-TDD communication system. In addition, the affected base station measures the measurement signals corresponding to different beams only within the interference measurement window, reducing the complexity of interference measurement at the affected base station and saving energy at the affected base station.
[0156] In some embodiments, the step of acquiring the second resource placement information of the interfering base station in step S71 above may be receiving the second resource placement information of the interfering base station transmitted from the controller.
[0157] In the embodiment of the present invention, when performing CLI measurement, if the interfering base station has second resource placement information, the interfering base station can obtain the second resource placement information stored locally by the interfering base station. If the interfering base station does not have second resource placement information, the interfering base station can obtain the second resource placement information from the controller, and CLI measurement is guaranteed.
[0158] In some embodiments, all measurement signals transmitted from the interfering base station include SSB corresponding to the wide beam and / or CSI-RS corresponding to the narrow beam, with multiple narrow beams included within the wide beam range.
[0159] In some embodiments, the second resource placement information of the interfering base station includes an instruction parameter corresponding to CSI-RS, which indicates that CSI-RS is to be used for CLI measurements.

[0161] In some embodiments, the limiting window is one or more, and the CLI measurement method described above is After receiving first placement information for a restriction window sent from the controller, the default restriction window among all restriction windows is activated based on the received first placement information for the restriction window, further comprising the first placement information for each restriction window indicating the time slot that the restriction window occupies.
[0162] In some embodiments, the third active message may further include first placement information for a restriction window awaiting activation, which indicates the time slot to be occupied by the restriction window awaiting activation. In this case, the step of activating the restriction window awaiting activation based on the third active message may include activating the restriction window awaiting activation in the time slot indicated by the first placement information for the restriction window awaiting activation.
[0163] In some embodiments, the ratio of the second limiting beam to all beams of the interfering base station is smaller than a preset ratio.
[0164] In some embodiments, the first placement information for each limit window includes one or more placement parameters, such as the reference SCS of the limit window, the length of the limit window, the period of the limit window, and the offset amount of the limit window within one frame period. The reference SCS for the restriction window is the SCS of the interfering base station. The length of the limit window is less than or equal to the frame period. The period of the limit window is an integer multiple of the frame period. The offset amount of the limit window within one frame period does not exceed the last time slot within that frame period.
[0165] In some embodiments, the limit window does not exceed the last time slot within the frame period.
[0166] In some embodiments, when the affected base station and the interfering base station are full-duplex base stations, the interference measurement window occupies any one or more consecutive time slots. If the affected base station and the interfering base station are half-duplex base stations, the interference measurement window occupies one or more consecutive designated time slots, where the designated time slots are flexible time slots, or where the designated time slots are the uplink time slot of the affected base station and the downlink time slot of the interfering base station. If the affected base station is a full-duplex base station and the interfering base station is a half-duplex base station, the interference measurement window occupies any one or more consecutive designated time slots, where the designated time slots are the downlink time slots of the interfering base station. If the affected base station is a half-duplex base station and the interfering base station is a full-duplex base station, the interference measurement window occupies any one or more consecutive designated time slots, where the designated time slots are the uplink time slots of the affected base station.
[0167] In some embodiments, there is one or more interferometry windows, the activated interferometry windows are used for CLI measurements, the second placement information for the interferometry windows indicates the time slot occupied by the interferometry windows, and the second placement information for each interferometry window includes one or more placement parameters from the reference SCS of the interferometry window, the length of the interferometry window, the period of the interferometry window, and the offset amount of the interferometry window within one frame period. The reference SCS for the interference measurement window is either a fixed SCS or the SCS of the affected base station. The length of the interferometry window is less than or equal to the frame period. The period of the interferometry window is an integer multiple of the frame period. The offset amount of the interference measurement window within one frame period does not exceed the last time slot within that frame period.
[0168] In some embodiments, the interference measurement window does not extend beyond the last time slot within the frame period.
[0169] Corresponding to the CLI measurement method applied to the above-mentioned damaged base station, the embodiment of the present invention provides a CLI measurement method applied to a controller, which includes the following steps, as shown in Figure 8. Step S81: Obtain second arrangement information of the interference measurement window of the affected base station and second resource arrangement information of the measurement signals of each interfering base station, wherein the second arrangement information indicates the time slot occupied by the interference measurement window, and the second resource arrangement information of each interfering base station indicates the time-frequency area resource occupied by each of the measurement signals of that interfering base station, and at each interfering base station, the measurement signals correspond one-to-one with beams, and the directions of different beams are different. Step S82: Transmit second resource placement information to the affected base station, transmit second resource placement information for each interfering base station, and transmit first resource placement information to the affected base station, wherein the first resource placement information includes an identifier for the first resource placement information and the second resource placement information for each interfering base station, and the identifier for the first resource placement information corresponds one-to-one with the affected base station.
[0170] In the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the interfering base station transmits measurement signals to the affected base station using different beams, and the affected base station measures the different measurement signals within the interference measurement window, thereby obtaining the CLI values of the different measurement signals, i.e., the CLI values of the beams corresponding to the different measurement signals. Based on the CLI values of the different beams, appropriate CLI suppression techniques can be obtained, and by coordinating the scheduling of time-frequency resources between base stations, CLI in different beam directions in the F-TDD communication system can be suppressed, improving the performance of the F-TDD communication system. In addition, the affected base station measures the measurement signals corresponding to different beams only within the interference measurement window, reducing the complexity of interference measurement at the affected base station and saving energy at the affected base station.
[0171] In some embodiments, the second placement information includes one or more placement parameters among the reference SCS of the interference measurement window, the length of the interference measurement window, the period of the interference measurement window, and the offset amount of the interference measurement window within one frame period. The reference SCS for the interference measurement window is either a fixed SCS or the SCS of the affected base station. The length of the interferometry window is less than or equal to the frame period. The period of the interferometry window is an integer multiple of the frame period. The offset amount of the interference measurement window within one frame period does not exceed the last time slot within that frame period.
[0172] In some embodiments, the interference measurement window does not extend beyond the last time slot within the frame period.
[0173] In some embodiments, when the affected base station and the interfering base station are full-duplex base stations, the interference measurement window occupies any one or more consecutive time slots. If the affected base station and the interfering base station are half-duplex base stations, the interference measurement window occupies one or more consecutive designated time slots, where the designated time slots are flexible time slots, or where the designated time slots are the uplink time slot of the affected base station and the downlink time slot of the interfering base station. If the affected base station is a full-duplex base station and the interfering base station is a half-duplex base station, the interference measurement window occupies any one or more consecutive designated time slots, where the designated time slots are the downlink time slots of the interfering base station. If the affected base station is a half-duplex base station and the interfering base station is a full-duplex base station, the interference measurement window occupies any one or more consecutive designated time slots, where the designated time slots are the uplink time slots of the affected base station.
[0174] In some embodiments, there is one or more interference measurement windows, and the activated interference measurement windows are used for CLI measurement, in which case the CLI measurement method is as follows: This further includes sending a second active message to the affected base station, the second active message containing an identifier for an interference measurement window awaiting activation.
[0175] In some embodiments, all measurement signals transmitted from each interfering base station are SSB corresponding to the wide beam, and / or the measurement signals are CSI-RS corresponding to the narrow beam, with multiple narrow beams included within the wide beam range.
[0176] In some embodiments, the second resource placement information for each interfering base station includes an instruction parameter corresponding to the CSI-RS, which indicates that the CSI-RS is used for crosslink interference CLI measurement.
[0177] In some embodiments, the affected base station is one or more, and the CLI measurement method described above is Receiving the beam measurement results of CLI measurements transmitted from each affected base station, The method involves determining the second limiting beam and the second recommended beam of each interfering base station based on the beam measurement results, wherein the second limiting beam is a beam awaiting limiting, and the second recommended beam is a beam awaiting recommendation.
[0178] In some embodiments, the beam measurement results may include the identifier of the interfering base station, the identifier of each measurement signal, and the CLI value of each measurement signal, or The beam measurement results include an identifier for the interfering base station, a first limiting beamlist, and a first recommended beamlist, wherein the first limiting beamlist includes an identifier for the measurement signal corresponding to each of the first limiting beams, and the first recommended beamlist includes an identifier for the measurement signal corresponding to each of the first recommended beams, wherein the first limiting beams are beams whose CLI value is greater than the first preset CLI threshold, and the first recommended beams are beams whose CLI value is less than the second preset CLI threshold, or The beam measurement results include the identifier of the interfering base station, a first limiting beamlist, and a first recommended beamlist, wherein the first limiting beamlist includes the identifier of the measurement signal corresponding to each first limiting beam and the CLI value for each first limiting beam, and the first recommended beamlist includes the identifier of the measurement signal corresponding to each first recommended beam and the CLI value for each first recommended beam.
[0179] In some embodiments, if the beam measurement results include a first limiting beam list and a first recommended beam list, the step of determining the second limiting beam and second recommended beam for each interfering base station based on the above beam measurement results is as follows: The beam corresponding to each of the first measurement signals is determined as the second limiting beam of the interfering base station transmitting the first measurement signal, wherein the first measurement signal is a measurement signal whose identifier is included in any of the first limiting beam lists. The beam corresponding to each second measurement signal is determined as the second recommended beam of the interfering base station transmitting the second measurement signal, wherein the second measurement signal is a measurement signal whose identifier is not included in any of the first restricted beam lists, but is included in any of the first recommended beam lists.
[0180] In some embodiments, if the beam measurement results do not include the first limiting beam list and the first recommended beam list, the step of determining the second limiting beam and the second recommended beam for each interfering base station based on the above beam measurement results is as follows: This includes determining the second limiting beam and second recommended beam of each interfering base station based on the CLI values included in each of the beam measurement results.
[0181] In some embodiments, the step of determining the second limiting beam and second recommended beam of each interfering base station based on the CLI values included in each beam measurement result is: If the target CLI value of any of the measurement signals is greater than the first preset CLI threshold, it is determined that the measurement signal is the second limiting beam of the interfering base station transmitting the measurement signal. The process includes determining that the beam corresponding to a measurement signal is the second recommended beam of the interfering base station transmitting the measurement signal if each target CLI value of a single measurement signal is less than or equal to the first preset CLI threshold, and any target CLI value of the measurement signal is less than the second preset CLI threshold. Here, if the CLI value included in the beam measurement result is the current RSRP of the measurement signal, the target CLI value is the current RSRP included in the beam measurement result, meaning the target CLI value may be a short-time CLI value, or the target CLI value is the RSRP determined based on the current RSRP and historical RSRP included in the beam measurement result, meaning the target CLI value may be a long-time CLI value. If the CLI value included in the beam measurement results is the RSRP determined based on the current RSRP and historical RSRP, then the target CLI value is the RSRP included in the beam measurement results, i.e., the target CLI value is the long-term CLI value.
[0182] In some embodiments, at each interfering base station, the ratio of the second limiting beam to all beams of the interfering base station is smaller than a predetermined ratio. At each interfering base station, the number of times the second limiting beam is limited is greater than the number of times the other beams at that same interfering base station are limited.
[0183] In some embodiments, the above CLI measurement method is Sending a first active message to the target damaged base station and a third active message to the target interfering base station, wherein the first and third active messages include identifiers of restriction windows awaiting activation, the restriction window awaiting activation at the target damaged base station is a window that restricts the same beam as the directing area of the first restricting beam, the restriction window awaiting activation at the target interfering base station is a window that restricts the second restricting beam, the first restricting beam is a beam whose CLI value measured by the target damaged base station is greater than the first preset CLI threshold, the target damaged base station is a damaged base station having the first restricting beam, the target interfering base station is an interfering base station having the second restricting beam, and / or The method further includes transmitting a set of beam measurement results of crosslink interference CLI measurements performed by each affected base station to the target interfering base station, wherein the beam measurement result set includes a second limiting beamlist and a second recommended beamlist, the second limiting beamlist includes an identifier of the measurement signal corresponding to each of the second limiting beams of the target interfering base station, and the second recommended beamlist includes an identifier of the measurement signal corresponding to each of the second recommended beams of the target interfering base station.
[0184] In some embodiments, the first active message and the third active message further include first placement information for the limited window awaiting activation, the first placement information for the limited window awaiting activation indicates the time slot to be occupied by the limited window awaiting activation.
[0185] In some embodiments, the first placement information for each limit window includes one or more placement parameters among the reference SCS of the limit window, the length of the limit window, the period of the limit window, and the offset amount of the limit window within one frame period. The reference SCS for the restriction window is the SCS of the interfering base station. The length of the limit window is less than or equal to the frame period. The period of the limit window is an integer multiple of the frame period. The offset amount of the limit window within one frame period does not exceed the last time slot within that frame period.
[0186] In some embodiments, the limit window does not exceed the last time slot within the frame period.

Based on the CLI values of the different beams, appropriate CLI suppression techniques can be obtained, and by coordinating the scheduling of time-frequency resources between base stations, CLI in different beam directions in the F-TDD communication system can be suppressed, improving the performance of the F-TDD communication system. In addition, the affected base station measures the measurement signals corresponding to different beams only within the interference measurement window, reducing the complexity of interference measurement at the affected base station and saving energy at the affected base station.
