Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The disclosure relates to the field of wireless communications, and particularly to a method and an apparatus for allocating spectrums.


BACKGROUND

Spectrum resources are the fundamental media for communications and it is expected that the spectrum efficiency can be maximized due to limited spectrum resources.


Different wireless access technologies are developed to improve the spectrum efficiency. However, there is almost no spectrum and load switching among all wireless access technologies in existing communication networks, i.e. there are few mutual cooperative operations, which brings about the result that spectrum usage is relatively fixed and not flexible enough, and reduces the spectrum efficiency, e.g. the spectrum load of some wireless access technologies is relatively light while the spectrum load of some wireless access technologies is relatively heavy. Dynamic spectrum allocation cannot be realized because of the lack of interaction and cooperation among the access technologies.


Currently, a system reallocation technology is being discussed in the industry. The relocation refers to the adjustment of air interface parameters or configurations in wireless communication technologies, e.g. cell deletion or establishment, parameter adjustment of basebands or radio frequencies, and adjustment of return links etc. Spectrum allocation, which may be performed during system reconfiguration, needs to consider the problem of interference suppression. However, there is no method which can allocate spectrums during system reconfiguration and suppress interference effectively.


SUMMARY

In view of this, the main purpose of the disclosure is to provide a method and an apparatus for allocating spectrums, so as to allocate spectrums during system reconfiguration and suppress interference effectively.


To realize the purpose above, the technical proposal of the disclosure is implemented in the following way:


the disclosure provides a method for allocating spectrums and the method includes:


calculating reconfigurable spectrums for a target group domain, containing one or more of dedicated spectrums, reusable spectrums and loanable spectrums; and


during system reconfiguration, allocating spectrums to cells of the target group domain in a non-overlap region after allocating spectrums to cells of the target group domain in an overlap region according to the reconfigurable spectrums.


The step of calculating reconfigurable spectrums for a target group domain may include:


calculating to obtain an occupation situation of all spectrums or part of expected spectrums in an adjacent group domain, comprising: usable spectrums of the adjacent group domain, and/or unloanable spectrums of the adjacent group domain; and


computing to obtain the reconfigurable spectrums for the target group domain according to the occupation situation of all spectrums or part of the expected spectrums of the adjacent group domain.


The step of calculating to obtain an occupation situation of all spectrums or part of expected spectrums of the adjacent group domain may include:


notifying, by a base station or a high-level device of the adjacent group domain, the occupation situation of all spectrums or part of the expected spectrums of the adjacent group domain to a reconfigurable wireless communication system of the target group domain through a notification message; and/or,


performing measurement, by a base station and/or a terminal of the target group domain to obtain the occupation situation of all spectrums or part of the expected spectrums of the adjacent group domain, and then reporting the occupation situation to the reconfigurable wireless communication system of the target group domain.


The step of computing to obtain the reconfigurable spectrums for the target group domain may include:


comparing usable spectrums of the target group domain with the usable spectrums of the adjacent group domain to obtain dedicated spectrums and shared spectrums of the target group domain;


deducting the unloanable spectrums of the adjacent group domain from the obtained shared spectrums of the target group domain to obtain the loanable spectrums of the target group domain; and


in the unloanable spectrums of the adjacent group domain, using spectrums which can be used by the cells of the target group domain in the overlap region and causes no interference to cells of the adjacent group domain in the overlap region as the reusable spectrums of the target group domain.


The step of the allocating spectrums to cells of the target group domain in an overlap region may include:


when any one or more of the dedicated spectrum, the reusable spectrum and the loanable spectrum satisfy expected quality of service of the overlap region, allocating spectrums which satisfy the expected quality of service of the overlap region to the cells of the target group domain in the overlap region; otherwise, ending the spectrum allocation.


After allocating the spectrums to the cells of the target group domain in the overlap domain, the method may further include:


determining dedicated spectrums and/or loanable spectrums remaining in the reconfigurable spectrums after the spectrums are deducted from the reconfigurable spectrums to be allocated to the cells of the target group domain in the overlap region; and


obtaining reusable spectrums used for spectrum allocation to the cells of the target group domain in the non-overlap region after deducting reusable spectrums allocated to the cells of the target group domain in the overlap region from the unloanable spectrums of the target group domain.


When the spectrum allocation to the cells of the target group domain in the non-overlap region is performed, the reconfigurable spectrums may include one or more of the remaining dedicated spectrums, the remaining loanable spectrums and the reusable spectrums used for the spectrum allocation to the cells of the target group domain in the non-overlap region


The spectrum allocation to the cells of the target group domain in the non-overlap region may include:


when any one or more of the remaining dedicated spectrums, the remaining loanable spectrums and the reusable spectrums used for the spectrum allocation to the cells of the target group domain in the non-overlap region satisfy expected quality of service of the target group domain, allocating spectrums which satisfy the expected quality of service of the overlap region to the cells of the target group domain in the non-overlap region; otherwise, ending the spectrum allocation.


The disclosure further provides an apparatus for allocating spectrums. The apparatus includes:


a calculating module configured to calculate reconfigurable spectrums for a target group domain, including one or more of dedicated spectrums, reusable spectrums and loanable spectrums; and


an allocating module configured to, during system reconfiguration, allocate spectrums to cells of the target group domain in a non-overlap region after allocating spectrums to cells of the target group domain in an overlap region according to the reconfigurable spectrums


The calculating module may be further configured to, after allocating spectrums to the cells of the target group domain in the overlap domain, determine dedicated spectrums and/or loanable spectrums remaining in the reconfigurable spectrums except the spectrums allocated to the cell of the target group domain in the overlap region; and after deducting reusable spectrums allocated to the cells of the target group domain in the overlap region from unloanable spectrums of the target group domain, obtain reusable spectrums used for spectrum allocation to the cells of the target group domain in the non-overlap region;


correspondingly, when the calculating module allocates the spectrums to the cells of the target group domain in the non-overlap region, the reconfigurable spectrum comprises one or more of the remaining dedicated spectrums, the remaining loanable spectrums and the reusable spectrums used for the spectrum allocation to the cells of the target group domain in the non-overlap region.


The proposal of the disclosure for allocating spectrums is to allocates the spectrums during system reconfiguration, specifically, any one or more of the following spectrums is allocated to a cells of the target group domain in the overlap region first: dedicated spectrums, reusable spectrums and loanable spectrums which satisfy the expected quality of service of the overlap region; subsequently, any one or more of the following spectrums is allocated to the cells of the target group domain in the non-overlap region: dedicated spectrums, reusable spectrums and loanable spectrums which satisfy the expected quality of service of the target group domain. By doing so, spectrums can be allocated during the system reconfiguration.


Since the dedicated spectrum, the loanable spectrum and the reusable spectrum can ensure that a target cell and an adjacent cell are orthogonal in the frequencies, inter-cell interference can be avoided. In addition, for the overlap region, interference in the overlap region can be controlled stably when the dedicated spectrum and the reusable spectrum are used, thus reducing the probability of triggering reconfiguration. Since the interference caused by the target group domain to the adjacent group domain has been maintained in a controllable and stable level in the overlap region, the non-overlap region only needs to consider the internal interference; in this way, the cells in the target group domain in the non-overlap region can effectively control the interference by only using the dedicated spectrum and the loanable spectrum.

FIG. 4 shows a flowchart of spectrum allocation during system reconfiguration in an embodiment of the disclosure, including the following steps.


Step 401: reconfigurable spectrums for a target group domain are calculated.


More specifically, the reconfigurable spectrums for the target group domain are calculated by a reconfigurable wireless communication system of the target group domain.


The reconfigurable spectrums include one or more of dedicated spectrums, reusable spectrums and loanable spectrums. Theoretically, interference will not be brought to the cells of the adjacent group domain when the cells of the target group domain use these three kinds of spectrums.


More specifically, the step of calculating the reconfigurable spectrums for the target group domain includes: calculating to obtain the occupation situation of all spectrums or part of the expected spectrums in the adjacent group domain, and obtaining the reconfigurable spectrums of the target group domain according to the calculation, wherein there are three methods for calculating to obtain the occupation situation of all spectrums or part of the expected spectrums of the adjacent group domain:


the first method is interaction: a base station or a high-level device of the adjacent group domain notifies the occupation situation of all spectrums or part of the expected spectrums of the adjacent group domain to the reconfigurable wireless communication system of the target group domain through a notification message;


the second method is measurement: a base station and/or a terminal of the target group domain performs measurement to obtain the occupation situation of all spectrums or part of the expected spectrums of the adjacent group domain and reports the occupation situation to the reconfigurable wireless communication system of the target group domain;


the third method is that the reconfigurable wireless communication system of the target group domain obtains the occupation situation of all spectrums or part of the expected spectrums of the adjacent group domain by using the first method and the second method at the same time.


Here, the reconfigurable wireless communication system of the target group domain obtains the occupation situation of all spectrums or part of the expected spectrums of the adjacent group domain by interaction and/or measurement, i.e. the spectrum occupation situation of the base station and the terminal of the adjacent group domain, including: the useable spectrums of the adjacent group domain, and/or the unloanable spectrums of the adjacent group domain, and then computes to obtain the reconfigurable spectrums for the target group domain, the process specifically includes:


the usable spectrums of the target group domain are compared with the usable spectrums of the adjacent group domain through interaction and/or measurement to obtain the dedicated spectrums and the shared spectrums of the target group domain;


the unloanable spectrums of the adjacent group domain are deducted from the obtained shared spectrums of the target group domain through interaction and/or measurement to obtain the loanable spectrums of the target group domain;


in the unloanable spectrums of the adjacent group domain, which are obtained through interaction and/or measurement, the spectrums which can be used by the cells of the target group domain in the overlap region and cause no interference to the cells of the adjacent group domain in the overlap region are the reusable spectrums of the target group domain (the spectrums can be only used by the cells of the target group domain in the overlap domain).


The dedicated spectrums, the reusable spectrums and the loanable spectrums of the target group domain are obtained thereby.


Step 402: whether or not system reconfiguration needs to be initiated is determined, if it needs to be initiated, Step 403 is executed, otherwise, the process is ended.


More specifically, the reconfigurable wireless communication system of the target group domain determines whether the current spectrum configuration of the target group domain satisfies the current quality of service of the target group domain, e.g. whether the current spectrum configuration satisfies the current service volume. Of course, besides the service volume, parameters that are used to measure the quality of service further include the user bandwidth demands, and etc.


Step 403: the spectrum allocation is performed on the cells of the target group domain in the overlap region.


The spectrum allocation is performed by the reconfigurable wireless communication system of the target group domain. During the system reconfiguration, spectrums are allocated to the cells of the target group domain in the overlap region first, specifically: when any one or more of the dedicated spectrums, the reusable spectrums and the loanable spectrums satisfy the expected quality of service of the overlap region, the spectrums which satisfy the expected quality of service of the overlap region are allocated to the cells of the target group domain in the overlap region; otherwise, the spectrum allocation is ended.


A preferred embodiment is described as follows: during the spectrum allocation, the dedicated spectrums are considered first, then the reusable spectrums and finally the loanable spectrums, i.e. the allocation is performed for the dedicated spectrums, the reusable spectrums and the loanable spectrums in order from highest priority to lowest priority (according to actual demands, the spectrum allocation sequence is not limited to what is described here), specifically:


(1) when the reconfigurable spectrums include the dedicated spectrums, the reusable spectrums and the loanable spectrums:


whether the dedicated spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service of the overlap region is determined first, if they can satisfy the expected quality of service, the spectrum allocation is ended after allocating the dedicated spectrums; otherwise, whether the dedicated spectrums and the reusable spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service of the overlap region is determined, if the two types of spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service, the spectrum allocation is ended after allocating the dedicated spectrums and the reusable spectrums; otherwise, whether the dedicated spectrums, the reusable spectrums and the loanable spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service of the overlap region is determined, if the three types of spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service, the spectrum allocation is ended after allocating the dedicated spectrums, the reusable spectrums and the loanable spectrums; otherwise, the spectrum allocation is ended directly.


(2) when the reconfigurable spectrums only include the dedicated spectrums and the reusable spectrums:


whether the dedicated spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service of the overlap region is determined first, if the dedicated spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service, the spectrum allocation is ended after allocating the dedicated spectrums; otherwise, whether the dedicated spectrums and the reusable spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service of the overlap region is determined, if the two types of spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service, the spectrum allocation is ended after allocating the dedicated spectrums and the reusable spectrums; otherwise, the spectrum allocation is ended directly.


(3) when the reconfigurable spectrums only include the dedicated spectrums and the loanable spectrums:


whether the dedicated spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service of the overlap region is determined first, if the dedicated spectrums can satisfy the expected quality, the spectrum allocation is ended after allocating the dedicated spectrums; otherwise, whether the dedicated spectrums and the loanable spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service of the overlap region is determined, if the two types of spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service, the spectrum allocation is ended after allocating the dedicated spectrums and the loanable spectrums; otherwise, the spectrum allocation is ended directly.


(4) when the reconfigurable spectrums only include the reusable spectrums and the loanable spectrums:


whether the reusable spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service of the overlap region is determined first, if the reusable spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service, the spectrum allocation is ended after allocating the reusable spectrums; otherwise, whether the reusable spectrums and the loanable spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service of the overlap region is determined, if the two types of spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service, the spectrum allocation is ended after allocating the reusable spectrums and the loanable spectrums; otherwise, the spectrum allocation is ended directly.


(5) when the reconfigurable spectrums only include the dedicated spectrums, or the reusable spectrums or the loanable spectrums:


whether the dedicated spectrums, or the reusable spectrums or the loanable spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service of the overlap region is determined, if the dedicated spectrums, or the reusable spectrums or the loanable spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service, the spectrum allocation is ended after allocating the dedicated spectrums, or the reusable spectrums or the loanable spectrums; otherwise, the spectrum allocation is ended directly.


Step 404: spectrum allocation to cells of the target group domain in the non-overlap region is performed.


The spectrum allocation is performed by the reconfigurable wireless communication system of the target group domain. During the system reconfiguration, spectrums are allocated to the cells of the target group domain in the non-overlap region.


Specifically, after the spectrums are allocated to the cells of the target group domain in the overlap region, spectrum allocation may be performed on the cells of the target group domain in the non-overlap region by using the spectrum resources remaining in the reconfigurable spectrums. It should be noted that, the remaining spectrum resources described herein refer to the dedicated spectrums and the loanable spectrums. The reusable spectrums used for spectrum allocation to the cells of the target group domain in the non-overlap region are determined in the following way: besides the reusable spectrums allocated to the cells of the target group domain in the overlap region, the remaining spectrums in the unloanable spectrums of the target group domain are the reusable spectrums allocated to the cells of the target group domain in the non-overlap region.


Therefore, before allocating the spectrums to the cells of the target group domain in the non-overlap region, the reconfigurable spectrums need to be determined first, including one or more of the remaining dedicated spectrums, the remaining loanable spectrums and the reusable spectrums used for spectrum allocation to the cells of the target group domain in the non-overlap region. The spectrum allocation specifically includes: when any one or more of the remaining dedicated spectrums, the remaining loanable spectrums and the useable spectrums used for spectrum allocation to the cells of the target group domain in the non-overlap region satisfy the expected quality of service of the target group domain, the spectrums which satisfy the expected quality of service of the overlap region are allocated to the cells of the target group domain in the non-overlap region; otherwise, the spectrum allocation is ended.


A preferred embodiment is described as follows: during the spectrum allocation, the dedicated spectrums are considered first, then the loanable spectrums and finally the reusable spectrums, i.e. the allocation is performed for the dedicated spectrums, the loanable spectrums and the reusable spectrums in order from highest priority to lowest priority (according to actual demands, the spectrum allocation sequence is not limited to what is described here), specifically:


(1) when the reconfigurable spectrums include the dedicated spectrums, the loanable spectrums and the reusable spectrums:


whether the dedicated spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service of the target group domain is determined first, if the dedicated spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service, the spectrum allocation is ended after allocating the dedicated spectrums; otherwise, whether the dedicated spectrums and the loanable spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service of the target group domain is determined, if the two types of spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service, the spectrum allocation is ended after allocating the dedicated spectrums and the loanable spectrums; otherwise, whether the dedicated spectrums, the loanable spectrums and the reusable spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service of the target group domain is determined, if the three types of spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service, the spectrum allocation is ended after allocating the dedicated spectrums, the loanable spectrums and the reusable spectrums; otherwise, the spectrum allocation is ended directly.


(2) when the reconfigurable spectrums only include the dedicated spectrums and the loanable spectrums:


whether the dedicated spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service of the target group domain is determined first, if the dedicated spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service, the spectrum allocation is ended after allocating the dedicated spectrums; otherwise, whether the dedicated spectrums and the loanable spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service of the target group domain is determined, if the two types of spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service, the spectrum allocation is ended after allocating the dedicated spectrums and the loanable spectrums; otherwise, the spectrum allocation is ended directly.


(3) when the reconfigurable spectrums only include the dedicated spectrums and the reusable spectrums:


whether the dedicated spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service of the target group domain is determined first, if the dedicated spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service, the spectrum allocation is ended after allocating the dedicated spectrums; otherwise, whether the dedicated spectrums and the reusable spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service of the target group domain is determined, if the two types of spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service, the spectrum allocation is ended after allocating the dedicated spectrums and the reusable spectrums; otherwise, the spectrum allocation is ended directly.


(4) when the reconfigurable spectrums only include the loanable spectrums and the reusable spectrums:


whether the loanable spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service of the target group domain is determined first, if the loanable spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service, the spectrum allocation is ended after allocating the loanable spectrums; otherwise, whether the loanable spectrums and the reusable spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service of the target group domain is determined, if the two types of spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service, the spectrum allocation is ended after allocating the loanable spectrums and the reusable spectrums; otherwise, the spectrum allocation is ended directly.


(5) when the reconfigurable spectrums only include the dedicated spectrums, or the loanable spectrums or the reusable spectrums:


whether the dedicated spectrums, or the loanable spectrums or the reusable spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service of the target group domain is determined, if the dedicated spectrums, or the loanable spectrums or the reusable spectrums can satisfy the expected quality of service, the spectrum allocation is ended after allocating the dedicated spectrums, or the loanable spectrums or the reusable spectrums; otherwise, the spectrum allocation is ended directly.


To realize the method for allocating spectrum above, the disclosure provides an apparatus for allocating spectrums. As shown in FIG. 5, the apparatus includes:


a calculating module configured to calculate reconfigurable spectrums for a target group domain, including one or more of dedicated spectrums, reusable spectrums and loanable spectrums;


an allocating module configured to, during system reconfiguration, allocate spectrums to cells of the target group domain in a non-overlap region after spectrums are allocated to cells of the target group domain in an overlap region according to the reconfigurable spectrums;


wherein the calculating module is further configured to, after allocating the spectrums to the cells of the target group domain in the overlap domain, determine the dedicated spectrums and/or the loanable spectrums remaining in the reconfigurable spectrums except the spectrums allocated to the cells of the target group domain in the overlap region; and after deducting the reusable spectrums allocated to the cells of the target group domain in the overlap region from the unloanable spectrums of the target group domain, obtain the reusable spectrums used for spectrum allocation to the cells of the target group domain in the non-overlap region.


Correspondingly, when the calculating module allocates the spectrums to the cells of the target group domain in the non-overlap region, the reconfigurable spectrums include one or more of the remaining dedicated spectrums, the remaining loanable spectrums and the reusable spectrums used for spectrum allocation to the cells of the target group domain in the non-overlap region.


The above are only the preferred embodiments of the disclosure and not intended to limit the scope of protection of the disclosure.

The apparatus for allocating spectrums according to claim 6, wherein the processor is further configured to be capable of executing the stored program instructions to, after allocating spectrums to the cells of the target group domain in the overlap domain, determine at least one of dedicated spectrums and loanable spectrums remaining in the reconfigurable spectrums except the spectrums allocated to the cell of the target group domain in the overlap region; and after deducting reusable spectrums allocated to the cells of the target group domain in the overlap region from unloanable spectrums of the target group domain, obtain reusable spectrums used for spectrum allocation to the cells of the target group domain in the non-overlap region;correspondingly, when allocating the spectrums to the cells of the target group domain in the non-overlap region, the reconfigurable spectrum comprises one or more of the remaining dedicated spectrums, the remaining loanable spectrums and the reusable spectrums used for the spectrum allocation to the cells of the target group domain in the non-overlap region.
  • 8. The method for allocating spectrums according to claim 1, wherein when allocating spectrums by the reconfigurable wireless communication system to cells of the target group domain in an overlap region, the allocation is performed for the dedicated spectrums, the reusable spectrums and the loanable spectrums in order from highest priority to lowest priority.
  • 9. The apparatus for allocating spectrums according to claim 6, wherein when allocating spectrums to cells of the target group domain in an overlap region, the allocation is performed for the dedicated spectrums, the reusable spectrums and the loanable spectrums in order from highest priority to lowest priority.
