A kind of Forecasting Methodology of forward reachable velocity of honeycomb cell, Apparatus and systemTechnical field
The present invention relates to the coverage planning of cordless communication network; Particularly, also can be generalized to the fixing wireless communication system of other forward emitting powers relevant for cdma2000 1xEV-DO system (hereinafter to be referred as the EVDO system) cellular cell edge and inner forward reachable velocity Forecasting Methodology.
Background technology
In cellular radio communication network, the geographical distribution of the forward service rate of embedded sub-district is with relevant with the adjacent cell distribution from this base station distance; Like Fig. 1; The sub-district speed that can be divided into the A place is cell edge speed, and the sub-district speed at B, C place is the sub-district internal rate, and wherein the sub-district internal rate is divided into multiple again; Usually near more apart from this base station, achievable rate is high more.Estimation to the cell edge achievable rate generally realizes through link budget.Industry has had the isolated island or (the Evolution Data Only of the EVDO under the cellular environment of comparative maturity; Data transfer optimization) reverse link budget; With the EVDO forward link budget under the isolated island environment, but lack effectively, the forward link budget under the cellular environment of comparative maturity.In the at present visible publication and reference, though relevant argumentation is arranged, the following problem of ubiquity:
1. fail fully, correctly to consider that disturb the adjacent area and forward direction speed requires the relation between the signal to noise ratio, fail to point out that higher forward direction speed can not realize at cell edge, and reason;
2. fail clearly to distinguish the difference of cell edge and sub-district inner link budget, often both are lumped together.
Therefore, the budget result of existing visible publication fails correctly to reflect actual conditions, differs greatly with the real network test result, is badly in need of proposing correct, effective method and instructs commercial network planning and build.
The geographical prediction of forward direction speed is closely related with the basic fundamental characteristics of EVDO forward link, and its characteristics mainly show:
1. forward direction full power emission, transmitting power is fixed;
2. time division multiplexing between the user, thereby by the target of base station scheduling algorithm decision time slot service---multi-user diversity gain produced;
3. the switching of the forward direction between the sub-district is a virtual soft, and it is service-data oriented to have only a sub-district to send to the user, is not soft handover---virtual soft gains less than soft handover gain;
4. user terminal has the branch of single antenna terminal and dual-antenna terminal, thereby dual-antenna terminal is lower than single antenna terminal to the requirement of demodulation threshold---produced the diversity reception gain;
Below all are differences of EVDO system and traditional cdma2000 1x system, determined that also the forward link budget of two kinds of systems is different.
Under the cellular environment, a main difficult point of forward link prediction is that adjacent cell signal power is to the interference of this cell signal power.Under cellular environment, the adjacent area interference of embedded cell edge is very strong, often greater than the signal power of this sub-district.Yet; Can know that from reality test and 3GPP2 minimum sandards the middle and high speed of DO forward direction is to having relatively high expectations of terminal received signal to noise ratio (claiming demodulation threshold again); For example under the wireless fading channel environment, the frequency spectrum density signal to noise ratio of 1.8Mbps rate requirement can reach more than the 20dB.Therefore, at embedded cell edge, higher forward service rate can't realize having only lower speed to realize, that is to say, at cell edge, has only the link budget of low service rate just meaningful.
As technological difficulties, the situation expansion of the adjacent area interference in embedded sub-district is introduced as follows.When covering for honeycomb, the equal Approximate Equivalent of omni cell is a regular hexagon, sees Fig. 2, supposes that this periphery, sub-district has only two-layer honeycomb, and center of housing estate is R to the radius on regular hexagon summitc, the center is R to the radius on regular hexagon limit, then hasIf the terminal is positioned at the bullet place, then adjacent sub-district disturbs situation as shown in Figure 2 to the forward direction at terminal.Adjacent in the case area interference intensity is calculated more complicated; All sub-districts are to the interference at terminal around need considering strictly speaking; But the effect near two circle sub-districts of this sub-district is main, and the interference of farther sub-district can be ignored because of path loss is big, interference power is less relatively.The ratio that defines adjacent area interference and this cell signal power is β, and there is relation at adjacent area interference and terminal at the position feature r of this sub-district (with the distance of this base station), θ (with the angle of this base station assigned direction), for example work as r=0.8Rc, path loss index γ=4 o'clock, when θ changed, β will be in [1.7dB ,-0.9dB] interval fluctuation, and visible β is little with the amplitude that θ changes; When r approached cell edge, β can increase sharply, and as r during to the sub-district internal contraction, β can reduce rapidly.
For ease of overall observation, Fig. 3 has represented that at different path loss index γ, terminal relative position in the sub-district is (with normalization apart from r/RcWhen indication) changing, the curve of the peak change of β, the peak value of β are equivalent to consider the higher situation of β when θ changes, and therefore θ is no longer mentioned in the back.Because of orthohexagonal characteristics, get r=0.9RcRadius as the sub-district is suitable, and according to the argumentation of Fig. 3 and other lists of references, when path loss index γ=3.5 or 4, the General Definition cell edge is r=0.9Rc, the β ≈ 2.5dB of cell edge.
In addition; The important parameter of EVDO forward link budget " virtual soft gain "; Be the terminal independently selects contiguous optimum sub-district to produce for its service in the switch area gain, also with the sub-district in geographical distribution closely related, gain maximum when the terminal is positioned at cell edge; About 2.2dB, when the terminal reduces rapidly to 0 convergence when move inside, sub-district.At present, do not see the corresponding theoretical result of relative position in accurate " virtual soft gain " and the sub-district temporarily.

Utilize theprediction unit 100 of this forward reachable velocity of honeycomb cell; Can set up a kind of prognoses system,prediction unit 100 is arranged in the base station, with each portable terminal in the sub-district; Constitute a cover prognoses system, for the coverage planning and the emulation of coverage capability of EVDO wireless cellular network provides foundation.
The present invention also provides the Forecasting Methodology of forward reachable velocity of honeycomb cell, and this method is divided into two parts:
First is prediction cellular cell edge forward reachable velocity, wherein, comprising:
The signal to noise ratio of cell edge must meet the planning and designing target, must satisfy the requirement of destinations traffic probability, the various gains of designated environment and allowance, promptly satisfies the following formula requirement:
[receiving this cell power/(adjacent area interference power+thermal noise)]DBThe default demodulation thresholding of>=single antennaDB+ fading marginDBThe gain of-virtual softDBThe gain of-receive diversityDB-multi-user gainDB=Y 1.
Wherein, Y is the middle transition variable, has embodied the general requirements of various gain/allowances that terminal demodulates thresholding and design objective cause, and abbreviates comprehensive signal to noise ratio as.Wherein, receive diversity gain and multi-user's gain are options.Since at cell edge, the doubly relation of (adjacent area interference factor) of β is arranged between adjacent area interference power and this cell power, so 1. formula can be written as again:
Can be converted into
(1-Y * β) * receive this cell power >=Y * thermal noise 4.
For guaranteeing that following formula is of practical significance, the left side is necessary for positive number, so there is following formula to set up
⑤
If with dB is unit, then show as 2. formula:
Comprehensive snr value(dB)<-adjacent area interference factor(dB)2.
Under the honeycomb condition, cell edge must satisfy 5. formula or 2. formula, and pairing forward direction speed, communication probability target could realize.
Forward link budget form with certain frequency range is the example explanation below.Suppose: at cell edge, adjacent area interference factor β is 2.5dB; The virtual soft gain is 2.2dB; The desired demodulation threshold such as table 1 parameter S of certain wireless fading channel type, single antenna terminal, satisfied 2% Packet Error Ratio; Simultaneously base station radio essential information such as known base station transmitting power, antenna gain and environmental index, wireless design index then can reach service rate through forward link budget form prediction cell edge.
The forward link budget example (single antenna terminal) of the embedded cell edge of table 1 cellular environment
In table 1, the Y value of having listed 38.4k, 76.8k and three kinds of speed of 153.6kbps is respectively-5.8dB ,-3.8dB and 0.2dB, the Y value of having only 38.4k, 76.8kbps less than-β (promptly-2.5dB).So when communication probability was 75%, the cell edge forward direction can realize that speed has only 38.4k or 76.8kbps, high again speed can't obtain, so table 1 is not listed the speed higher than 153.6kbps.Unappeasable speed is presented as that in table 1 " the minimum received power in terminal " is invalid, causes " the maximum path loss that allows " parameter also invalid.
When the terminal is dual-antenna terminal, will there be the advantage of diversity gain at the terminal, and the often comparable single antenna terminal of forward reachable velocity improves one-level, and this slightly.
Second portion is the inner forward reachable velocity of prediction cellular cell, wherein, when the terminal when cellular cell is inner, situation both had been different from the isolated island sector, also was different from the cellular cell edge.In this case; Two important parameter values of forward link budget---adjacent area interference intensity and virtual soft gain depend on the relative geographical position of terminal in the sub-district; Promptly with the normalization distance of base station; Normalization is apart from difference, and above-mentioned two parameter values are just different, and amplitude of variation maybe be bigger.Wherein, specifically comprise:
Step 1. is earlier by the said method of first; Confirm the forward direction speed that cell edge need be realized; Be the cell edge forward reachable velocity,radius determination module 121 carries out the link budget of cellular cell according to the cell edge forward reachable velocity, confirms the cellular cell radius.
Suppose that cell edge only need realize 38.4kbps, according to the result of table 1, proceed the covering radius budget, suppose at general urban area circumstance, propagation model adopts Hata model commonly used, and the result sees table 2.
Table 2 covering radius budget example
38.4kbps covering radius R=3.47km, if press regular hexagon standard topology structure, then the diagonal radius is Rc=R/0.9=3.86km is as radius of society.
The relative position of step 2. terminallocation determination module 122 setting terminals in cellular cell, with normalization distance " with diagonal angle, base station distance r/ sub-district radius Rc" expression; Set communication probability.
Suppose to predict that place normalization is apart from r/R in the sub-districtcThe achievable rate at=0.6 place is established communication probability=75%.
Step 3.parameter determination module 123 is according to normalization distance and propagated loss index; Look into " adjacent area interference factor vs normalization distance " figure and obtain the corresponding adjacent area interference factor, look into " virtual soft gain vs normalization distance table " and obtain the corresponding virtual soft handover gain.
According to normalization distance=0.6, the propagated loss index ≈ 3.5 of common Hata model looks into Fig. 3, gets adjacent area interference factor peak value ≈-6dB.Suppose that the virtual soft gain is as shown in table 3 with the relation of normalization distance, then obtain the virtual soft gain and be 0dB.Need to prove that≤0.8 pairing virtual soft gain of normalization distance is default in the table 3, exact value is still needed and is sought authority's achievement in research.
Gain of table 3 virtual soft and normalization distance relation example
Step 4. coveringradius determination module 124 utilizes above parameter, carries out the link budget of cellular cell, draws the covering radius of each speed.
The result sees table 4, has only three kinds of speed such as 38.4k, 76.8k and 153.6kbps to be candidate's speed in the cards, because the demodulation threshold of 307.2kbps rate requirement is higher, still can not realize.The most beneath delegation of table 4 is seen in the covering radius prediction of three kinds of candidate's speed.
The inner forward link budget example (single antenna terminal) in the embedded sub-district of table 4 cellular environment
The step 5.speed determination module 125 corresponding normalization distance of each service rate covering radius that converts is not less than the flank speed of the normalization distance of former setting, is that this relative position satisfies the attainable forward direction flank speed of designated communication probability.
The conversion result sees table 5, and the normalization that three kinds of coverings of having only 38.4k and two kinds of speed of 76.8kbps among maybe speed can be not less than setting is apart from 0.6, so 76.8kbps satisfies the attainable forward direction flank speed of design objective at assigned address.
The normalization distance of each speed covering radius of table 5
Certainly; The present invention also can have other various embodiments; Under the situation that does not deviate from spirit of the present invention and essence thereof; Being familiar with those of ordinary skill in the art ought can make various corresponding changes and distortion according to the present invention, but these corresponding changes and distortion all should belong to the protection range of the appended claim of the present invention.
