By the method, the terminal reaching saturated power is determined through the first uplink path loss threshold, and the terminal with weaker received signal is determined through the second uplink path loss threshold; when a terminal reaching saturated power exists and a terminal with weak received signals does not exist, the transmitting power is reduced, so that the terminal power is not saturated any more, and service abnormality is avoided.
Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical means and advantages of the present application more apparent, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a basic flow chart of a power adjustment method in the present application, as shown in fig. 1, the method includes:
step 101, determining a first uplink path loss threshold TH1 according to saturated power of a terminal, transmitting power of a base station and cell bandwidth; and calculating a second uplink path loss threshold TH2 according to the maximum uplink path loss of the allowed terminal.
The process of calculating TH1 and TH2 in this step may be performed in advance, and need not be recalculated each time it is necessary to adjust the calculation power. The first uplink path loss threshold TH1 is related to the saturated power of the terminal and is used for determining whether the terminal reaches the saturated power; the second uplink path loss threshold TH2 is related to the maximum path loss allowed by the terminal, and is used for determining whether a terminal with weak received signal and affected receiving performance if the received power is reduced exists in the cell.
The manner of determining the first uplink path loss threshold TH1 may include: and taking the difference between the preset base station fixed transmitting power and the terminal saturated power on the RB level as a first uplink path loss threshold. Specifically, the base station fixed transmission power is of RB level, and the saturation power of the terminal is generally of full bandwidth, so that it is generally necessary to convert the terminal saturation power into the terminal saturation power on RB level according to the cell bandwidth first, and then to make a difference with the base station fixed transmission power, and the difference is taken as TH1.
The calculating the second uplink path loss threshold TH2 may include: and taking the difference between the maximum allowed path loss of the UE and a preset offset value as a second uplink path loss threshold. The maximum path loss allowed for the UE is usually fixed, and is generally determined by the device capability of the radio frequency hardware of the base station, and the bias value may be set empirically.
Step 102, the base station calculates the current path loss information of each terminal in the cell according to the cell periodicity.
Wherein, preferably, the calculation period may be set to 5s.
The way of calculating the current path loss information can be as follows:
and the base station receives a power margin (PHR) reported by the terminal, calculates updated maximum power spectrum density Pc (i) by using the PHR, and then calculates current path loss information PL_uplink=Pmax-Pc (i) -RSRP_ul by using the Pc (i). Wherein, max is the preset maximum power value, RSRP_ul is the RB-level uplink RSRP measured value, and i is PHR reporting frequency index.
Andstep 103, comparing the current path loss information of each terminal with a first uplink path loss threshold TH1 and a second uplink path loss threshold TH2.
Step 104, judging whether the current path loss information of the terminal in the cell is smaller than the first uplink path loss threshold, if yes, executingstep 105, otherwise, executingstep 108.
As mentioned above, the first uplink path loss threshold TH1 is used for determining whether a terminal reaching saturated power exists in the cell, specifically, if the current path loss information of the terminal is smaller than the first uplink path loss threshold, it indicates that the terminal has reached saturated power, and it is necessary to reduce the power; if no terminal in the cell reaches saturated power, then no power reduction may be necessary.
Step 105, judging whether the current path loss information of the terminal in the cell is greater than a second uplink path loss threshold, if yes, executingstep 108, otherwise, executingstep 106.
As described above, the second uplink loss threshold TH2 is used to determine whether there is a terminal in the cell where the received signal is weak, and the receiving performance of the terminal is affected if the base station reduces the transmission power. Specifically, if the current path loss information of the terminal is greater than the second uplink path loss threshold, it indicates that the path loss of the terminal (for example, the terminal located at the cell edge) has reached the limit, and if the base station transmission power is further reduced, the path loss of the terminal must be further reduced, the receiving performance will be seriously affected, and in this case, the power cannot be reduced any more. If no such terminals are present in the cell, a further power reduction may be considered.
Step 106, determining whether the base station transmit power is still allowed to be further reduced, if so, executingstep 107 to reduce the transmit power, otherwise, executingstep 108.
The base station transmitting power has a basic range limitation, and cannot be reduced infinitely, wherein the base station transmitting power is judged to be allowed to be further reduced, and if the base station transmitting power is not allowed to be further reduced, the terminal reaches saturated power in time, and the transmitting power cannot be reduced.
Step 107, reducing the transmission power of the cell.
The reduction value of the transmission power may be: the difference between the current path loss information of the terminal reaching the saturated power and the first uplink path loss threshold TH1. If a plurality of terminals reach saturated power, one of the terminals with the maximum current path loss information can be selected from the terminals with the saturated power, and the difference between the current path loss information of the terminal and TH1 is used as a reduction value of the transmitting power.
Step 108, keeping the existing transmission power of the cell unchanged.
Thus, the flow of the power adjustment method in the application is ended.
In the above technical solution, the maximum downlink path loss allowed by the terminal is calculated through the cell transmitting power and the terminal saturated power, and the base station periodically calculates the path loss of all the terminals in the cell, and performs downlink power self-adaptive adjustment according to the allowed path loss, so that when the terminal reaching the saturated power occurs, the transmitting power is reduced as much as possible, and the terminal power is not saturated any more, so as to avoid abnormal service caused by the terminal reaching the saturated power.
