Detailed description of the invention

Exemplary embodiments disclosed herein relate to methods and devices for grouping pilot poles, and the use of such a grouping for signaling pilot levels and for controlling sets in a plurality of carrier communication systems.

1 illustrates an embodiment of a system of communication with a plurality of carriers. For example, within the system can be allocated different terminals access (AТ) 110, including АТ 110а-110с. Each terminal ΑΤ 110 may communicate with the access network 120 (AN) via one or more channels at different frequencies in the forward link and / or the reverse link at a given time as indicated by two-way arrows 130. For illustrations and clarity for each terminal ΑΤ 110 shows two two-way arrows 130. There can be any number of channels (or frequencies), both in the straight line of communication, and in the back link in the system communication. In addition, the number of frequencies used in the forward link (or the "forward link frequencies") need not be the same as the number of frequencies in the reverse link '

The AEN 120 network may further communicate with the base network, such as the network of data services, via the service node 140 for transmitting packet data (PIO03N). In one embodiment, the system 100 may be configured to maintain one or more standards, e.g., 13-95, cSt2000, IZ-856, SH-SUMA, TU-300MA, other communication standards with a plurality of non-dryers, or combinations thereof.

As described herein, an A network may belong to a part of a communications system configured to interact with a base network (for example, a packet data network through the network PHIO3N 140 of FIG. 1), and data routing between the TER terminals and the base the network, the implementation of variousfunctions of radio access and maintenance of communication lines, the management of radio transceivers and receivers, etc. Network AAN can include and / or implement the functions of the controller of the base station (B3C) (as a wireless network of 2 and 3, th generation), the reception and transmission system of the bases th station (VT3), access node (AP) transceiver modems peredavachapulu (MRI), Node B (eg, systemitypu W-C ^ ΜΑ) and so on. p.

The Terminal AT described in this document may belong to different types of devices, including (without limitation indicated) a leading telephone, a wireless telephone, a cellular telephone, a portable computer, a personal computer (PC) card, a wireless connection, personal digital assistant (ΡάΑ), external or internal modem, etc. The terminal ΑΤ can be any data transmission device, which communicates with a wireless channel or through a leading channel.

Lu (for example, using fiber-optic or coaxial cables). The AT terminal may have different names, for example, an access unit, a subscriber unit, a mobile station, a mobile device, a mobile unit, a mobile phone, a mobile device, a remote station, a remote terminal, a remote unit, a user device, utility equipment, a portable device, and etc. Various AT terminals can be included in the system. AT terminals can be mobile or stationary, and can be distributed according to the communication system. Terminal AT can communicate with one or more AI networks on the forward link and / or on the back link at any given moment. Direct line of communication (or downlink) refers to the transmissions from the AI ​​network to the AT terminal. Reverse link (or uplink link

The carrier communication system described herein may comprise a frequency division multiplexing system or an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system, or other multifrequency modulation systems, each carrying a corresponding frequency range.

The pilot signal described herein may be tuned (or determined) by a pair of parameters and denoted by the <offset PN, channel>, where the "channel" parameter belongs to the pilot frequency, and the parameter "shift PN" is unique is associated with a pilot signal. The term "channel" may be interchangeably used with the term "time". In addition, the "coverage area" of the pilot may belong to the profile of the signal's dependence on the distance for the pilot.

The cell may belong to the area covered by the A network. The cell may be divided into one or more sectors. One or more frequencies can be assigned to a rotating cell. FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of cell 200 in a plurality of bearer communication system. For example, cell 200 is shown as split into three sectors 210, 220, 230. The three frequencies t, t₂, t₃ intended to cover the cell 200. For illustration and clarity, cell 200 is shown as a cy-lindre, the cross-sectional area of ​​which corresponds to the region of the cell cover 200, and the height at the 240-axis corresponds to the dimension of the cell frequency 200. As such, each sector of the cylinder (at all frequencies) forms a cell sector. In other embodiments, the comic strips may have different shapes and may have different sectors. There can also be any number of frequencies assigned to the cell. For example, in some situations, a plurality of frequencies may be assigned to a vendor that covers a large area of ​​coverage as shown in FIG. In other situations, one frequency can be divided into a cell covering a small area with high density (for example, "hot dot").

In the one carrier system, it is required that the AT terminal be informed of the level of all received pilot signals, since the pilot signals become strong or weak in level. In the communication system with a plurality of carriers, there is a plurality of pilot signals associated with the sector, as shown in FIG. If

92003 8

It was necessary to report the AT terminal to the R-ve of each received pilot (as in a single-carrier system), this would result in very many start-ups for reporting the level of the signal (for example, message updating the route in system IZ-856) , since there are many pilot signals, and each of them can independently cross the thresholds set for sending messages due to short-term fading, and each message would be larger because there are more pilots for the message. In addition, many of these pilot signals may have comparable coverage areas, and a message transmitted by one of them may provide sufficient information for the access network in relation to the pilot set that receives the AT terminal. Therefore, there is the need for an effective way of managing pilots in the system of communication '

Revealed embodiments include methods and systems for grouping pilot signals and the use of such grouping to report the level of pilot and control of sets in communication system with a plurality of carriers.

In one embodiment, the AE network serving the sector may provide a group identifier (or "group ID") for each of the pilot-related sectors, for example, based on the pilot coverage areas, so that the pilot- signals that have a comparable coverage area, commonly use the general ID of the group. Offset PN can be used as an ID group in one embodiment implementation. Then the network AKI sends pilot signals to the corresponding group IDs. ACI network can group the pilot signals that are received in one or more pilot groups. according to their group. The ACI network can also choose a single pilot signal from each pilot group as a re-presentative pilot for reporting the pilot level. ACI network can also use pilot grouping for the effective management of the set,

3 shows an embodiment of various sectors and associated pilot signals in the communication system 300 with a plurality of carriers. System 300 in the general case, include any number of sectors, each of which is associated with one or more pilots having different frequencies. For illustration and clarity, explicitly, three sectors 3 10, 320, 330 are shown. Also, for examples, pilot signals 311, 312 are associated with sector 310, pilot signals 321-324 associated with sector 320, and pilot- signals 331, 332 associated with sector 330. These pilot signals are now relative to the frequency axis 340, indicating that pi-lot signals associated with this sector have different frequencies.

FIG. 3 further illustrates a dependency level profile 350 from a distance representing the pilot zone of pilot 321 or 322, and a depth-dependent profile 355 from a distance representing the coverage region of pilot 323 or 324.

In one embodiment, the AN network (clearly shown) serving the sector 320 may assign an ID group to each of the pilot 321-

9

324 based on their coverage areas, so that pilot signals having substantially the same area of ​​coverage are shared using a common ID group. The RN storage can be used as an ID of the group in one embodiment. For example, pilot signals 321, 322 can be shared by the general ID of the group (or a shift of PN); pilot signals 323, 324 can also be shared by general ID groups (or a shift of PN). The AAN network then can transmit pilot 321 -324 with the corresponding group ID. After reception of pilot signals 321-324, the terminal AΤ 360 can group pilot signals 321, 322 into the first pilot group and pilot 323, 324 into the second pilot group of respondersbottom of their group ID. The ATT 360 terminal can select one pilot from each group as a representative pilot for the group: for example, pilot signal 321 can be selected as a re-presentative pilot for the first group of pilot signals and pilot signal 324 can be selected as a representative pilot for the second pilot group. The ΑΤ 360 terminal can measure the level of each received pilot or at least one pilot signal from each pilot group (such as a representative pilot). The ATH 360 terminal can only include a representative pilot (as opposed to the entire pilot group) in the pilot level notification, as described below.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, two peaks of the pi-lot signal: "add a pilot signal" and "remove the pilot signal" are indicated on the profiles 350, 355. These thresholds can be used to determine which of the sets, the set of candidates or a set of neighbors for the terminal ATH 360 refers to each pilot. For example, if the level of pi-lot received by the terminal AТ360 exceeds the "add pilot" threshold, then the pilot's signal may be potentially added to a set of candidates for the terminal AТ 360, as explained below. If the level of the pilot received by the terminal ATH 360 falls below the threshold "to remove the pilot signal", then the pilot signal can be removed from the active set or the field of candidates for the terminal AΤ 360.

In one embodiment, when the terminal ATH 360 moves from the sector 320, it may initially detect that the pilot levels 323, 324 in the second pilot group fall below the "remove pilot" portion, and then detect the levels of pilot 321, 322 in the first group of pilot signals. (This may be because the pilot signals 321, 322 do not have the corresponding signals in the upstream sectors 310, 330, hence, they are less susceptible to interference). As a result, the ΑΤ 360 terminal may first send a message about the pilot signal level for a representative pilot coupled to the second pilot group, and then a pilot signal message for the representative pilot associated with the first pilot group will be logged ΑΝ in connection with these two events. Pivoting about the level of the pilot can include itself, for example level, shift PN and frequency of corresponding representative pilot. In another embodiment, when terminal ATH 360 is

92003 10

arranged closer to sector 320, the ATT360 terminal may initially send a pilot pilot message for a representative pilot coupled to the first pilot group and then a pilot signal message for a representative pilot associated with the second pilot a group of pilot signals, I will enter the ΑΝ (due to the gradual increase levels of pilot signals in these two groups).

Further, pilot signals in sectors 310, 330 can also be grouped in a similar way. For example, pilot signals 311, 312 in sector 310 may form a pilot group. Pilot signals 331,332 in sector 330 may also form a group of pilot signals. In one embodiment, the sector 320 (or the AIA network serving it) can then select one pilot from each pilot group in the neighboring sectors 310, 330, such as pilot 311 and pilot 332, and report only about selected pilot signals from their neighboring sectors.

Pilot and message grouping, as described above, allows the ATP terminals to communicate effectively in the AAN network in a carrier-to-multipoint system, avoiding unnecessary use of network resources. This additionally allows the terminal ΑΤ to execute the management of the set in an efficient manner, as described below.

Figures 4a-4c show an embodiment of a set of control in a communication system with a plurality of bearings. For clarity and illustration, each pilot signal determined by the parameters <offset PN, frequency>, decomposed PN also serves as an ID group for each pilot signal. For example, FIG. 4a shows that the ter-terminal AT (not explicitly shown) may initially have an active set of 410 that includes the first group of pilot having an ID group "x" and a second pilot group, group "y". The first pilot group includes two pilot signals defined by the parameter-mi <x, tia> and <x, y2>. and the second pilot groupincludes two pilot signals determined byparameters <u, tI> and <y, 12>. Terminals ΑΤ can also contain a set of 420 candidates, which initiallyincludes a third group of pilots who have the ID group "ζ". The third pilot group has one pilot signal, defined by the parameters <ζ, ²2>. Each pilot in the active set 410, or in the set of 420 candidates, has a level above a predetermined threshold (e.g., the "add pilot" portion described above with reference to FIG. 3).

4b shows that in one case the pilot signal defined by the parameters <ζ, tι> is added to the active set 410. As a result, the pilot signal with the parameters <ζ, ²2> is removed from the set of 420 candidates, since both must lie in one and the same pilot group.

Fig. 4c shows that otherwise the pilot signal defined by the parameters <x, t2> is removed from the active set 410 and no 420 candidates will be added to the set. This is due to the fact that there is another pilot signal defined by the parameters <x, t1>, belonging to the first group of pilot signals in the active set 410.

11

In principle, an AT terminal can be served by any of the pilot in its active set. Each pilot group in its active set may include one or more pilot signals. Pilot signals in its candidate list may have different group IDs; and none of the pilot in his set of candidates can have the same ID group as any of the pilot in his active set or any of the other of his other sets. It may also indicate that, in the event that the AT terminal accepts a pilot signal with a level above the "add pilot" threshold and the same group ID as the existing pilot in its set of candidates, it can not add This pilot description for the selection of candidates is also applicable to a neighboring set of associated AT terminals, as further described below.

In one embodiment, the AT terminal can manage its set of candidates in such a case. The AT terminal can support a candidate set so that the pilots in the calender set all have different group IDs (in other words, each pilot group has only one pulse signal). The AT terminal may add a pilot to a set of candidates in the following cases: a) if the pilot level exceeds the "add pilot" threshold and the pilot does not have the same ID of the group as any of the existing pulp signals in the active set or in the set of candidiats; The AT terminal can add any pulp signal to the same group ID (that is, a pilot whose level exceeds the "add pilot" threshold) to the recruitment of candidates; B) if the pilot has been removed from the active set,

In one embodiment, the AT terminal can manage its own set of neighbors in this way. Terminal AB maintains a set of neighbors in such a way that pilot signals in the set of neighbors all have different ID groups (in other words, each pilot group has only one pilot signal) . Terminal AO can add a pilot to a set of neighbors or remove-in the following cases: a) if the pilot signal, which mass group IDs, will be added to the active set or a set of candidates, then any pilot signal with the same ID of the group that and the added pilot in a neighboring set can be deleted; B) if a pilot having a group ID has been removed from the active set but not added to the set of canals, and the active set does not have any pilot with the same group ID as that of the remote pilot, AT terminal can add any pi-lot signal with the same group ID (as in the remote pilot signal) to a set of neighbors; c) if a pilot having a group ID that is removed from the set of candidiases but not added to the active set, the active set does not have any pilot with the same group ID as that of the remote pilot, then the AT terminal can add either

92003 12

a pilot with the same ID of the group (as the pilot-pilot) to a set of neighbors.

Pilot grouping, disclosed in this description, provides an opportunity for efficient control of sets in a system with a plurality of carrier. There may be other implementation options for control kits.

FIG. 5 illustrates an embodiment of assigning traffic channels in a multiplier carrier system. For example, the plurality of forward link channels (Pb), including Pb-channel 510 on Frequency-A, Pb-channel 520 on Pb-Frequency-b, Pb-channel 530 on Pb-Frequency, Pb-channel 540 on Pb_ Frequency_, must be transmitted from the AIK network to the terminal AT (both not shown in explicit form). Channels of the reverse link (Pb), including Pb-channel 550 on Pb_frequency, Pb-channel 560 on Pb_frequency, and IR-channel 570 on Pb_frequency_m, are assigned to the AT-terminus. In one embodiment, the AIC network can assign a plurality of direct link channels, each of which is intended for transmitting a reverse flow of power control bits (RRCs) for each of the backlink communication channels assigned to the AT terminal. Example,

In the implementation embodiment presented in Figure 5, the AIK network can also select one of the Pb channels, for example Pb-channel 520, as a "basic pilot signal" and inform the AT terminal of the need to control the control channel that is mainstreamed. pilot (for example, for dispatching and other purposes). In this way, the AT terminal may ignore other channels in the forward link, relating to the control of control channels.

Implementation options presented in this description (as described with reference to FIGS. 2-5) provide a number of options for grouping pulleys, managing sets and assignment of traffic channels in a communication system with a plurality of non-dummies. There are other options for implementation and their practical implementation.

FIG. 6 shows a block diagram of a process 600 which can be used in one embodiment for implementing piloting groupings and message transmissions in a carrier multiplicative communication system. FIG. In step 610, a plural pilot signal is received, associated with the sector, and each pilot has a group identifier. On stage, 620 pilot signals are grouped into one or more groups according to the identifiers of group pulleys. At 630, a repressive pilot pilot is selected from each pilot group to transmit a signal about the level of the pilot signal (as described above). In one embodiment, the Ri-Shift can be used as a group identifier.

7 is a block diagram of a process 700 that can be used in one embodiment for implementing a set of control systems in a communication system with a plurality of carriers. At block 710, the pilot level measured by the game data is measured. In step 720, it is determined whether the pilot-wave threshold is exceeded by the "add pilot" threshold, and has no active set or set of candidates for the pilot with the same ID of the group (as in the pilot, whose level exceeds the threshold " add pilot bell ») If the result of determination on step 720 is positive (yes, then step 730, where the pilot with the same ID of the group (i.e. pilot, whose level exceeds the threshold of "pre-date pilot"), is added to a set of candidates. If the result of the determination in step 720 is non-negative ("no"), then no candidate for pilot with the same group ID (as for a pilot signal whose level exceeds the "add pilot" threshold) is not available to the set of candidates, as shown in step 740. In the case of a pilot signal having The ID of the group is removed from the active set, as shown in step 750, at block 760 it is determined whether there is an active set of any pilot with the same group ID (as in the remote pilot), and the timing of the timer has expired. pilot pilot. If the result of the determination of the step 760 is positive ("yes"), then step 730 is executed as described above. If the result of determination at stage 760 is negative (no, then), step 740 is performed as described above. as shown in step 750, at block 760, it is determined whether there is an active set of any pilot with the same group ID (as in the remote pilot), and the timing of the pilot timer has been set to expire. If the result of the determination of the step 760 is positive ("yes"), then step 730 is executed as described above. If the result of determination at stage 760 is negative (no, then), step 740 is performed as described above. as shown in step 750, at block 760, it is determined whether there is an active set of any pilot with the same group ID (as in the remote pilot), and the timing of the pilot timer has been set to expire. If the result of the determination of the step 760 is positive ("yes"), then step 730 is executed as described above. If the result of determination at stage 760 is negative (no, then), step 740 is performed as described above.

8 shows a flowchart of process 800, which can be used in another embodiment for implementing a set of control in a carrier system with a plurality of carriers. If the pilot ID of the group ID is deleted from the active set but is not added to the set of candidates as shown in FIG. 810, or a pilot having a group ID is removed from the set of candidates, but no incremental set is added as shown in the FIG. 820, then at step 830 it is determined whether an active pilot has an active pilot with the same group ID (as the detected pilot). If the result of the determination at 830 is negative (no, then), at step 840, the pilot signal with the same group ID (as in the pilot pilot) will be added to the set of satellites. If the result of the determination at stage 830 is positive ("yes"),

In the event that a pilot ID from the group ID is added to the active set or to a set of candidates as shown in block 860, at step 870, all pilot signals with the same group ID (as in the added pilot signal) from a set of candidates and a set of neighbors.
