In various embodiments of the present invention, service eNB (Serving eNB) is meant the eNB that UE belonged to that carries out the CoMP business, and collaborative eNB (Cooperating eNB) is meant the eNB that carries out CoMP transmission/reception data when professional for the UE that belongs to service eNB.
Below in conjunction with Figure of description the embodiment of the invention is described in detail.
As shown in Figure 1, for setting up the method for data transmission channel under the CoMP business in the embodiment of the invention one, may further comprise the steps:
Step 101: service eNB sends the cooperative multipoint transmission request to collaborative eNB.
The UE that belongs to service eNB need carry out CoMP when professional, and service eNB is at first determined at least one eNB as collaborative eNB from adjacent eNB.Particularly, can select the adjacent eNB conduct collaborative eNB of service bearer amount less than set point.
The cooperative multipoint transmission request that service eNB sends can be transmitted by X2 interface, comprising but required bandwidth information when being not limited between service eNB and collaborative eNB the transmission data, can support that promptly all UE carry out the CoMP transfer bandwidth in the whole service eNB, service eNB can be according to the size at least a definite broadband in the following information:
Belong to service eNB and need carry out CoMP UE quantity, belong to service eNB and need carry out type of service and the traffic carrying capacity of each UE of CoMP, wherein, the type of service of UE and traffic carrying capacity are the information on loads of UE, also are not limited to other information on load in the present embodiment one.
In present embodiment one, the bandwidth information that service eNB sends by the cooperative multipoint transmission request can be the quantity of the bandwidth determined, also can be that predefined classification condition is carried out classification with band data, with the grade of the amount of bandwidth correspondence determined as the bandwidth information that sends.
Step 102: collaborative eNB sets up data transmission channel according to the bandwidth information that receives.
If the bandwidth information that sends in thestep 101 is the quantity of the bandwidth determined, then in this step, collaborative eNB directly utilizes the bandwidth information that receives to set up data transmission channel; If the bandwidth information that sends in thestep 101 is the grade of the amount of bandwidth correspondence determined, then in this step, collaborative eNB determines the amount of bandwidth of the grade correspondence that receives according to predefined classification condition, and then sets up data transmission channel.
Collaborative eNB is that data transmission channel is reserved corresponding resource according to the bandwidth information that receives, and reserved resource is not less than definite amount of bandwidth, and the data transmission channel of foundation can be used for carrying out between service eNB and collaborative eNB the mutual of data and/or information.
By the scheme ofstep 101 andstep 102, set up the relevant data transmission channel of non-UE, the data transmission channel of foundation can be used for realizing data and information interaction between eNB in the CoMP business.
Afterstep 102, collaborative eNB can return to service eNB with the sign of described data transmission channel, in order to follow-up data transmission procedure.
Further, service eNB can also send to collaborative eNB at any time and stop the cooperative multipoint transmission request, and collaborative eNB receives when stopping the cooperative multipoint transmission request, discharges the data transmission channel of setting up.
As shown in Figure 2, the method for the transfer of data under the CoMP in the embodiment of the invention two said method comprising the steps of:
Step 201: service eNB sends the cooperative multipoint transmission request to collaborative eNB, comprises the required bandwidth information of transmission data in the described request.
Step 202: collaborative eNB sets up data transmission channel according to described bandwidth information, and the sign of described data transmission channel is returned to service eNB.
Step 203: service eNB is carried out transfer of data by the data transmission channel and the collaborative eNB of the sign correspondence of data transmission channel.
The embodiment of the invention two is the basic enterprising stepping line data transmission courses at the data transmission channel of embodiment one foundation, carry out descending CoMP with service eNB by collaborative eNB respectively below and up CoMP is an example, the scheme of the embodiment of the invention two is described in detail.
As shown in Figure 3, in the embodiment of the invention three, the descending schematic diagram of service eNB to UE transmission data, suppose that present embodiment three is the downlink data transmission processes of carrying out, and specifically may further comprise the steps under the JP mode:
Step 301: service eNB sends down collaboration multicast communication request to collaborative eNB, has comprised sign, the required bandwidth information and the cell identification list of transmission data of service eNB in the described request.
Because what carry out in the present embodiment is descending CoMP business, therefore, the cooperative multipoint transmission request that is sent by service eNB among the embodiment two is down collaboration multicast communication request in present embodiment three.
The sign of the service eNB that comprises in the down collaboration multicast communication request is used to notify collaborative eNB: set up data transmission channel between service eNB that should be corresponding with sign; The cell ID corresponding district that comprises is the cooperation district that cooperative multipoint transmission is carried out in the service eNB request, be used to notify collaborative eNB: service eNB wishes to be used to carry out the cooperation district of down collaboration multicast communication, the cooperation district of the cell ID correspondence here can be to belong to same collaborative eNB, also can belong to different collaborative eNB.
Step 302: collaborative eNB is according to the sign of bandwidth information and service eNB, the data transmission channel between foundation and service eNB.
In descending CoMP, what carry out between service eNB and collaborative eNB is one-way transmission, and therefore, the data transmission channel of foundation can be used for follow-up: service eNB is transmitted the descending relevant information and the passage of data to collaborative eNB.
Step 303: collaborative eNB selects at least one cell ID from the cell identification list that receives.
The cell ID corresponding district that collaborative eNB selects is the cooperation district that belongs to this collaborative eNB and can be used in the down collaboration multicast communication.
May comprise a plurality of sub-districts corresponding district sign that belongs to this collaborative eNB in the cell identification list that collaborative eNB receives, cooperation district is according to the situation of self load, therefrom select one or more cell IDs, follow-up collaborative eNB can send data to UE according to the cooperation district of the cell ID correspondence of selecting.
The execution sequence ofstep 302 and step 303 can not fixed, and for example: collaborative eNB can select at least one cell ID earlier from cell identification list, set up data transmission channel again.
To step 303, the data transmission channel of having finished in descending CoMP business is set up process bystep 301, can carry out descending CoMP business by the data transmission channel of setting up between follow-up service eNB and the collaborative eNB.
Step 304: collaborative eNB returns to service eNB with the sign of the data transmission channel of foundation and at least one cell ID of selection by down collaboration multicast communication response message.
Particularly, down collaboration multicast communication response message returns to service eNB by X2 interface.
Collaborative eNB also returns the sign of service eNB and the sign of collaborative eNB by down collaboration multicast communication response message to service eNB simultaneously.
Because instep 303, collaborative eNB may only select to belong in the cell identification list part cell ID of collaborative eNB, therefore, instep 304, collaborative eNB can also return following information to service eNB by down collaboration multicast communication response message: belong to described collaborative eNB but can not be used for the cell ID of the cooperation district of cooperative multipoint transmission, and the reason that can not transmit, as: the load of collaborative eNB is bigger, and the service that can provide for the UE in the service eNB is limited.
In this step, collaborative eNB returns to service eNB by down collaboration multicast communication response message with the sign of data transmission channel, the relevant information of the data transmission channel when being used for notification service eNB and carrying out descending CoMP.Also be not limited to the relevant information of the data transmission channel of other mode notification service eNB when carrying out descending CoMP in the present embodiment three.
Step 305: service eNB is by the sign specified data transmission channel according to the data transmission channel that receives.
After service eNB receives the down collaboration multicast communication response message that collaborative eNB returns, determine can be used in the data transmission channel of descending CoMP according to the sign of the sign of wherein data transmission channel and collaborative eNB; Can determine according at least one cell ID wherein which sub-district can be used as the cooperation district in the descending CoMP business under the collaborative eNB.
Step 306: service eNB sends down dispatch information, downlink data and each downlink data corresponding district sign by the established data transmission channel to collaborative eNB.
In descending CoMP business, service eNB need notify schedule information and each part downlink data of working in coordination with eNB data to be issued, issuing in the process by which cooperation district to send respectively by data transmission channel.
Step 307: collaborative eNB determines to send the cooperation district of downlink data according to each downlink data corresponding district sign.
Step 308: collaborative eNB indication cooperation district sends to UE according to down dispatch information with corresponding downlink data.
In present embodiment three, owing to have a plurality of cooperation districts under a collaborative eNB, the data transmission channel that the shared collaborative eNB of these cooperation districts sets up receives the downlink data that service eNB sends, therefore, service eNB need be in the sign of the cooperation district that carries this downlink data of transmission in the downlink data of transmission.
Each part downlink data need use its corresponding cooperation district to send to UE, just uses eNB for the antenna for base station of this cooperation district configuration sends to UE by air interface with corresponding downlink data, finishes the downlink data transmission process of CoMP.
Step 309: service eNB sends to collaborative eNB and stops the cooperative multipoint transmission request.
Service eNB can at any time determine whether also need to carry out the CoMP transmission, if when determining not need to carry out the Comp transmission, to send to collaborative eNB and stop the cooperative multipoint transmission request, can stop the cooperative multipoint transmission request here is DOWNLINK JOINT PROCESS DEACTIVE message, by the collaborative eNB of sign notice of the service eNB of carrying in the message: discharge and service eNB between about the data transmission channel of CoMP.
Step 310: collaborative eNB receives when stopping the cooperative multipoint transmission request, discharge to set up and service eNB between data transmission channel.
It can be logical links and the physical link that discharges data transmission channel that collaborative eNB discharges data transmission channel, is released to this data channel reserved resource.
By the scheme ofstep 301, finished the downlink data transmission process of a JP mode to step 310.
In present embodiment three, service eNB and collaborative eNB are by the cooperation district that can be identified for cooperative multipoint transmission alternately ofstep 301 and step 303.Present embodiment three also is not limited to the cooperation district that other modes are identified for cooperative multipoint transmission.For example: service eNB sends down collaboration multicast communication request to collaborative eNB, has comprised the sign and the required bandwidth information of transmission data of service eNB in the request; Collaborative eNB returns down collaboration multicast communication response message to service eNB, the sign and the cell ID that comprise the data transmission channel of collaborative eNB foundation in the response message, described cell ID corresponding district is the cooperation district that belongs to collaborative eNB and can be used in cooperative multipoint transmission, that is to say, initiatively determine can be used in the cooperation district of cooperative multipoint transmission by collaborative eNB, and the cell ID of the cooperation district determined is returned to service eNB.
As shown in Figure 4, for UE in the embodiment of the invention four to the schematic diagram of service eNB uplink transmission data, promptly up CoMP associating receiving course, a plurality of acceptance points (being a plurality of cooperation districts) receive the upstream data of the up transmission of UE simultaneously, specifically may further comprise the steps:
Step 401: service eNB sends uplink coordinated multicast communication request to collaborative eNB, has comprised the sign of service eNB, the sign of required bandwidth information, cell identification list and the data transmission channel of transmission data in the described request.

Because among the up CoMP of present embodiment, need to carry out transmitted in both directions between service eNB and collaborative eNB, be that service eNB need send uplink scheduling information to collaborative eNB, and collaborative eNB need return upstream data from UE to service eNB, therefore, service eNB can be carried data transmission channel in uplink coordinated multicast communication request sign, expression requesting cooperative eNB sets up the data transmission channel of a transmitted in both directions.
Step 402: collaborative eNB is according to the sign of bandwidth information and service eNB, the data transmission channel between foundation and service eNB.
Step 403: collaborative eNB selects at least one cell ID from the cell identification list that receives.
The cell ID corresponding district that collaborative eNB selects is the cooperation district that belongs to this collaborative eNB and can be used in uplink coordinated multicast communication.
Step 404: collaborative eNB returns to service eNB with the sign of the data transmission channel of foundation and at least one cell ID of selection by uplink coordinated multicast communication response message.
After collaborative eNB returned to service eNB with the sign of the data transmission channel set up, the bidirectional data transfers passage just can transmit data and information between service eNB and collaborative eNB.
Withstep 304 similarly, collaborative eNB can also return following information to service eNB by uplink coordinated multicast communication response message: belong to described collaborative eNB but can not be used for the cell ID of the cooperation district of cooperative multipoint transmission, and the reason that can not transmit.
Step 405: the data transmission channel sign corresponding data transmission channel of service eNB by receiving sends uplink scheduling information to collaborative eNB.
Uplink scheduling information includes but not limited to one or more in the following information: resource location information, modulating-coding (Modulation and Coding Scheme, MCS) format information and transmission of uplink data temporal information.
Step 406: collaborative eNB is according to the uplink scheduling information that receives, and the indication cooperation district receives the upstream data of UE transmission.
In this step, the cooperation district that is used for receiving the upstream data of UE transmission is the cooperation district of at least one cell ID correspondence of selecting of step 404.
The upstream data that the indication cooperation district receives the UE transmission can be regarded as: use eNB to receive the upstream data that UE sends as the antenna for base station of cooperation district configuration by air interface, finish the transmitting uplink data process of CoMP.
Step 407: the upstream data that collaborative eNB receives cooperation district and the cell ID binding back of this cooperation district send to service eNB by data transmission channel.
Send to service eNB after the cell ID binding of collaborative eNB with upstream data and this cooperation district for notification service eNB: the each several part upstream data by which cooperation district receives respectively.
Step 408: the upstream data from collaborative eNB that service eNB will receive merges, and finishes up CoMP associating receiving course.
Step 409: service eNB sends to collaborative eNB and stops the cooperative multipoint transmission request.
Step 410: collaborative eNB receives when stopping the cooperative multipoint transmission request, discharge to set up and service eNB between data transmission channel.
By the scheme of step 401, finished once up CoMP data transmission procedure to step 410.
