After determining the direction of each terminal, the base station starts to collect the downlink channel quality measurement results reported by each terminal or the measurement signals of the uplink channel (in the LTE system, Sounding Reference Signal, SRS is used to measure the uplink channel quality), and after obtaining the channel result, it determines whether the channel result is obtained under the condition of omnidirectional antenna radiation or under the condition of superimposing a directional beam antenna. If it is obtained with only omni-directional antenna radiation, then when scheduling the user, a fixed Offset is added to the current value and data transmission is performed with a higher MCS.
As shown in fig. 6(a), taking the multi-beam directional antenna + omni-directional antenna mode as an example, the solid-line circle part is an omni-directional antenna for providing stable coverage, the dashed-line ellipse part represents directional beams in four directions, and the base station aims the beams at different terminals at times T1, T2, T3 and T4 respectively to increase signal strength based on the radiation of the omni-directional antenna, thereby providing better transmission rate and lower error rate.
Optionally, the scheduler performs data transmission with the terminal through the omnidirectional antenna after scheduling the terminal through the omnidirectional antenna according to the adjusted MCS value, and reduces the level of the preset offset value when determining that the number of times of data transmission errors reaches a first preset number of times; and when the correct data transmission times reach a second preset time, improving the level of the preset deviation value.
The Offset may be obtained by calculating, through simulation, how much higher MCS can be supported by the directional beam antenna through the signal strength that can be additionally increased by the directional beam antenna, or may be obtained through experiments according to multiple training. After obtaining Offset, the Offset can be further modified during communication according to training, and if N transmissions have transmission errors after being added with Offset, the Offset is decreased by one level, whereas if M transmissions succeed uniformly after being added with Offset, the Offset can be increased by one level.
Optionally, the scheduler sends a coordination message to the serving base station of the neighboring cell when the terminal is in a coverage area of a current directional antenna of the serving base station of the neighboring cell, where the coordination message is used to control the serving base station to switch the current directional antenna.
In the above scheme, in a single cell, the transmission rate of the user can be effectively enhanced, however, since the coverage area depends on the omni-directional antenna, and the transmission distance of the directional beam antenna is longer than that of the omni-directional antenna, the directional beam antenna interferes with the adjacent cells when forming the cellular network. For a CRS (Cell specific Reference Signal), different PCIs (Physical Cell IDs) may be used to generate so as to avoid interference as much as possible, and for data transmission, coordination between base stations may be used so as to avoid scheduling terminals in overlapping coverage areas at the same time.
Optionally, the scheduler determines discontinuous reception DRX states of all terminals within the coverage of the omni-directional antenna, where the DRX states include a sleep state or a listening state; when determining that all current terminals comprise a terminal in a sleep state and a terminal in a monitoring state, the scheduler determines a target antenna corresponding to the direction of the terminal in the monitoring state from the at least two directional antennas, judges whether the terminal in the monitoring state is located in the coverage area of the target antenna, and schedules the terminal in the monitoring state through the omnidirectional antenna or the target antenna according to the judgment result.
Optionally, the scheduler schedules the terminal through the omni-directional antenna when determining that all terminals currently in the coverage of the omni-directional antenna are in a listening state.
The above scheme can enhance the transmission rate of each terminal user on the premise that the total radiation power of the antenna is limited, but because a part of power is divided into directional beams, the coverage area of the omnidirectional antenna is reduced.
Further, in order to avoid the above problem, the base station may configure DRX for each terminal, and configure the DRX cycles and On durations (times for which the terminal needs to be woken up) of all terminals to the same parameters, thereby ensuring that each terminal periodically enters the sleep state or the listening state at a fixed time. In the On Duration stage of all terminals, the base station switches to the mode of only omnidirectional antennas, provides signal coverage for all terminals, provides support such as channel measurement, and selects a certain terminal or some terminals which can be covered by the same beam for service before the On Duration is finished. The listening state is maintained because the selected terminal will continuously restart the timer during the scheduled process.
As shown in fig. 6(b), there are two UEs, UE-1 and UE-2, in the cell, the first row indicates that the base station configures the same DRX cycle and On Duration for the two UEs, when the first On Duration is reached, the base station starts the omni-directional antenna to cover the two UEs, after the first On Duration is ended, the base station switches to the directional beam to point to UE-1, and starts to schedule UE-1, at this time, UE-1 will restart its timer continuously, keep the monitoring state, and UE-2 will enter the sleep state after the On Duration is ended. At the second On Duration, both UEs wake up and the base station also switches to provide full coverage for the omni-directional antenna again, cycling through.
Further, the base station may stagger the On Duration positions of different terminals, and ensure that each terminal is under the coverage of a directional beam at the time of its monitoring only by beam switching.
According to the scheme provided by the application, the base station antenna supports a plurality of directional beams which can be switched rapidly and an additional omnidirectional beam. The omnidirectional wave beam is responsible for providing stable reference signals, the directional wave beam is responsible for enhancing the sending and receiving signals of a certain terminal or some terminals when the terminals need to be transmitted, so that the aims of improving the transmission rate, reducing the error rate and improving the comprehensive throughput of a cell are achieved, and under the premise of not changing the terminals, better coverage performance and transmission performance under the same transmitting power of a base station side can be realized, the effective combination of a switchable multi-beam directional antenna and an LTE system is realized, and the phenomena of call drop and disconnection of the LTE terminal possibly caused by the switching of the simple and practical multi-beam directional antenna are avoided.
