Furthermore, the sign of P_macro and the like in the flow figure in Figure 5 is all decibel values.
Step with S102 - S106, P_macro which was measured and small and large comparison with threshold P_th1 and P_th2 which are decided beforehand is done, RTWP_target is decided by selecting from midst of candidacy value R1 of three RTWP_target which are decided beforehand according to the relative result, R2 and R3. Here, the threshold P_th1 for P_macro makes the value (P_th1 < P_th2) which is smaller than threshold P_th2. In addition, small and large relationship of candidacy value R1 of three RTWP_target, R2 and R3 R1 > R2 > makes R3.
Concretely, when P_macro is below P_th1, (YES), RTWP_target is designated as R1 with S102, (S103). When P_macro than P_th1 to be larger and it is below P_th2, (YES), RTWP_target is designated as R2 with S104, (S105). When P_macro is larger than P_th2, (NO), RTWP_target is designated as R3 with S104, (S106).
Really measuring outside propagation environment according to distance, it is possible to set threshold P_th1 and P_th2, and, calculating from theoretical propagation model, such as Okumura model and Qin model it is possible to set. If RTWP_target is the outside, it is decided according to the cell design of cell radius and the like. Regarding the form of this execution, it is possible to set R3, to the same as the outside. In addition, R3 from macro base station 3 installs femto- base station 4 in the outside of specified 1st distance, in order when from femto- base station 4 the mobile station 72 is categorized to specified 2nd distance, for the interference which the mobile station 72 causes to macro base station 3 to reach approved level, is possible to decide. For example R2 and R1, from R3 in order in order at a time 10dB to increase, it is possible to set.
In addition, but, with form of this execution, as for the threshold of P_macro 2, as for the specification of RTWP_target 3 the case where it was explained, the fact that it is not something which is limited to these numbers is of course, as bigger number than form of this execution or a small number is good.
In addition, in the explanation which used Figure 5 and mentions, RTWP_target, showed the example which is set in ascending arrangement according to the size of P_macro. But, in order to be inversely proportional to P_macro the occasion where it calculated with true value, it is possible to set RTWP_target. Concrete, for example, it is possible to calculate at the decibel value which is shown below RTWP_target with arithmetic expression (1).<br /> RTWP_target <br /> = Median (RTWP_target_default + (Pmacro_default - Pmacro), RTWP_target_max,<br /> RTWP_target_min) (1)<br /> Here, RTWP_target_default is the fixed value which is equal to R3 of form of this execution. As for P_macro_default, from macro base station 3 specified 1st distance (the occasion where RTWP_target_default is set use) it is the common pilot signal received power in. In addition, RTWP_target_max and RTWP_target_min are the maximum and minimum of RTWP_target.
It is possible to set with the setting which is based on arithmetic expression (1), RTWP_target according to the distance from of macro base station 3. As a result, because at the femto- base station 4 which is categorized to the macro base station 3 vicinities RTWP_target becomes small, be able to control the increase of transmission electric power of the mobile station 72 - the 74 which are communicated with femto- base station 4, the interference for the rising circuit of macro base station 3 can be controlled. On the one hand, because at the femto- base station 4 which is located distantly from macro base station 3 RTWP_target becomes large, as for the mobile station 72 - the 74 which are communicated with femto- base station 4, it is possible, can evade the decrease of data transmission speed to utilize transmission electric power in the maximum.
[Form 2 of execution]<br /> As for the femto- base station 4 which depends on the form 2 of execution, in place of P_macro in the form 1 of execution, reception quality Ec/No of the common pilot signal of macro base station 3 (energy per chip to noise density) it measures, uses this for the decision of RTWP_target. Same as P_macro Ec/No, there is a character which goes away basically from macro base station and 3 following becomes small. Because of this, the decisive procedure of RTWP_target in femto- base station 4 should have replaced P_macro to Ec/No in the flowchart which is shown in Figure 5. Constitution and operation of femto- base station 4 other than this point because it should have made similar to the form 1 of execution, abbreviate repetition explanation.
[Form 3 of execution]<br /> Form with form 2 of 1 of execution and execution, WCDMA system was adopted as a communication method with base station and the mobile station, but with form 3 of execution, it rises and as for the circuit single carrier FDMA (Frequency Division Multiple Access) system, as for the descent circuit OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) adopts system respectively. And, in radio communication system of form of this execution, as for Radio Frequency zone plural resource blocks (PRB; Physical Resource Block) it is divided, for macro base station the scheduler which is prepared 3 and femto- base station 4 does the allotment of PRB. As for macro base station 3 and femto- base station 4, data transmission with the mobile stations is done making use of PRB which is allotted by the scheduler.
This time, regarding the rising circuit of femto- base station 4, target received power RTWP_target is designated as set point of the received power of each PRB, but the transmission electric power of each PRB which is by the mobile station 72 - the 74 may make decrease according to channel quality and the transmit data quantity.
In macro gate way device 1 of form 1 of execution, radio network control control equipment (Radio Network Controller; RNC) function is added, but with form 3 of execution, as for RNC function it is not added to macro gate way device 1. Instead, RNC function is added to macro base station 3.
Figure 6 is the figure which shows one example of constitution of macro base station 3 of form 3 of execution. When Figure 6 is referred to, macro base station 3 of form of this execution, antenna 50, radio sending and receiving section 51, reception data processing section 52, transmit data processing section 53, wire sending and receiving section has 54, and radio network control section 55.
Radio sending and receiving section 51 descending and, wire sending and receiving section through 24 and transmit data processing section 23 from macro gate way device 1, receiving the data, through antenna 20, directing to the mobile station 71 it transmits. In addition, radio sending and receiving section 51, through antenna 20, rises from the mobile station 71 and receives the data, reception data processing section through 22 and wire sending and receiving section 24, sends to macro gate way device 1. Radio network control section 55 has housed control parameter such as Radio Frequency of each cell and transmission electric power of the common pilot signal, these are notified to radio sending and receiving section 51. Radio sending and receiving section 51 is not, macro gate way device 1 does the radio communication with the mobile station 71 making use of the control parameter which is notified from radio network control section 25.
Furthermore, the other components in Figure 6 similar to the macro base station 3 which depends on the form 1 of the execution which is explained making use of Figure 2 should have made. In addition, the femto- base station also constitution of 4 which depends on the form of this execution and the mobile station 71 - the 74, similar to the form 1 of the execution which is mentioned should have made. In addition, setting procedure of the radio parameter due to femto- base station 4, in other words also setting procedure of target received power RTWP_target, similar to the form 1 of the execution which is mentioned should have made.
[Form 4 of execution]<br /> As for the femto- base station 4 which depends on the form 4 of execution, in place of P_macro in the form 3 of execution, reception quality Ec/No of the common pilot signal of macro base station 3 is measured, this is used for the decision of RWTP_target. The decisive procedure of RTWP_target in femto- base station 4 should have replaced P_macro to Ec/No in the flowchart which is shown in Figure 5. Constitution and operation of femto- base station 4 other than this point because it should have made similar to the form 3 of execution, abbreviate repetition explanation.
[Form 5 of execution]<br /> As for form 1 of execution - 4, femto- base station 4 had executed the measurement of received power Pmacro of the common pilot signal from of macro base station 3. This replacing, as for form 5 of execution, femto- base station inside the mobile station 72 - the 74 which do 4 and communication 1 units measure Pmacro at least, notify the result to femto- base station 4. Constitution of the mobile station 72 in the form of this execution is shown in Figure 7. Furthermore, the mobile station 71, the constitution where also the 73 and the 74 are similar to Figure 7 it should have made.
In Figure 7, reception level test section 45 is added in addition to the constitution in Figure 4. Reception level test section 45, through antenna 40, measures the received power Pmacro of the pilot signal which is transmitted in macro cell. The measurement result is processed in radio sending and receiving section, 41 through antenna 40, is transmitted to femto- base station 4. Femto- base station 4 receives the measurement result of Pmacro, processes in radio network control data setting section 37. After that because that similar it should have done the setting procedure of RTWP_target, either of the formal 1~4 of execution repetition explanation is abbreviated.
< Form of other executions ><br /> Form with 1 of the execution which it mentions - 5, macro base station the mobile station 71 - the 74 have done the sending and receiving of the data with 3 and femto- base station 4, but as for these mobile stations, as for the necessity to be the radio station which always possesses mobility it is not, it is possible to be the radio station which is locked to the place of specification.
In addition, form with 1 of execution - 5, the example where femto- base station 4 does communication simultaneously with the plural mobile station 72 - the 74 was shown. But, if femto- base station 4 at least 1 mobile stations and communication possible it should have been.
In addition, form with 1 of execution - 5, as femto- base station 4, does data sending and receiving with the mobile station 72 - the 74, other base station (concretely the example which controls the transmission electric power of the mobile station 72 - the 74 macro base station 3) from on the basis of the reception quality of the pilot signal was explained. But, as data sending and receiving is done at least with 1 mobile stations, as for the radio station which has the function which at least controls the transmission electric power of 1 mobile stations on the basis of the reception quality of the pilot signal from other base station, as for the necessity always to be base station of femto- base station 4 and the like it is not. For example, the radio station which has the above-mentioned function, has the information input/output section of the operation button, the keyboard, the microphone and the speaker, etc is possible to be the radio communication terminal which is used for the user. The form of this kind of execution, for example, the plural mobile stations macro base station 3 through in inside macro cell 5 where macro base station 3 forms, when ad hoc communication is done and the like, it is effective. In other words, macro base station the rising circuit of the mobile station which does 3 and communication, it can control the interference between the communication channels between the mobile stations which do ad hoc communication.
In addition, setting procedure of the target received power RTWP_target which the femto- base station 4 which is expressed with form 1 of execution - 5 executes is actualization possible by making the program for base station control computer execute such as microprocessor. For example, in case of form 1 of execution, on the basis of the control of the computer which executes the base station control supervisor, if to mobile station mode reception section 36 measurement of pilot signal received power Pmacro from of macro base station 3 should have been made to execute. Furthermore, the computer, using Pmacro which was measured, as target received power RTWP_target is calculated, if the transmission power control for the mobile station 72 - the 74 on the basis of the control by the computer, should have been executed.
As for this program, it is possible, to house in record medium of various types, in addition, through communication medium, it is possible to be transmitted. Here, in record medium, for example, flexible disk and the hard disk, the disk and the magnet-optical disk, CDROM, DVD, the ROM cartridge, the battery backup equipped RAM memory cartridge, the flash memory cartridge and the non-volatile RAM cartridge etc are included. In addition, wire communication medium and radio communication medium etc of microwave circuit and the like such as telephone line are included by communication medium, also Internet is included.
Furthermore, this invention is not something where is limited in only form of the execution which is mentioned, the fact that various modifications are possible gist of this invention which is already expressed in the range which does not deviate of course is.
This application insists the preference which designates the Japanese application patent application 2007312258 which is applied on 2007 December 3rd as the foundation takes in everything of the disclosure here.
