Guard Band Allocation for Downlink Transmission Interference
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In LTE-FDD systems, occupying the uplink frequency band for downlink transmission can cause severe interference to user equipment in adjacent frequency bands due to signal leakage, leading to resource waste and communication disruptions.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a method where a network side device determines an uplink frequency band with a guard frequency band and an available frequency band for downlink transmission, sending the downlink signal only in the available frequency band and reserving the guard frequency band at the highest or lowest part of the uplink frequency band to minimize interference.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the base station directly sends a downlink signal in the entire uplink frequency band, then resource utilization is improved, but severe interference to user equipment in adjacent frequency bands is caused
Solution Approach 1:
The uplink frequency band is divided into two parts: a first frequency band for downlink signal transmission and a second frequency band (guard band) reserved to prevent interference. This segmentation allows the system to utilize available spectrum resources while protecting adjacent bands from harmful interference through controlled division of the frequency spectrum.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If a guard frequency band is introduced to reduce interference, then interference to adjacent frequency bands is reduced, but resource waste is caused
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the bandwidth parameters of the first and second frequency bands based on traffic conditions and interference requirements. By changing the allocation ratio between downlink transmission band and guard band, the system optimizes the balance between resource utilization and interference protection, preventing resource waste while maintaining adequate guard bands.
3Productivity
If the uplink frequency band is occupied for downlink transmission, then resource utilization is improved, but signal leakage causes severe interference
Solution Approach 1:
The second frequency band acts as an intermediary buffer zone between the downlink transmission band and adjacent uplink frequency bands. This intermediary guard band absorbs and attenuates signal leakage, preventing it from reaching adjacent bands and causing interference, thus enabling safe occupation of uplink bands for downlink transmission.

AI summary
This application relates to the field of wireless communications technologies, and in particular, to a method, system, and device for downlink transmission, which are used to solve a problem in the prior art that severe interference to communication of a user equipment in an adjacent frequency band may be caused when an uplink frequency band is occupied for downlink transmission. In embodiments of this application, a downlink signal is sent to a user equipment in an available frequency band of an uplink frequency band, and no signal is sent or received in a guard frequency band of the uplink frequency band, where the guard frequency band is located in a highest-frequency part and/or a lowest-frequency part of the uplink frequency band. Because no signal is sent or received in the guard frequency band of the uplink frequency band, interference to communication of a user equipment in an adjacent frequency band is reduced when the uplink frequency band is occupied for downlink transmission, thereby improving system performance.
