- ID random access preamble identifier
- RA-RNTI random access preamble identifier
- UL Grant uplink grant
- Temporal C temporary cell identifier
- TAC Timing Advance Command
- the reason why the random access preamble identifier is required in the random access response is that the UL grant, temporary C- because the random access response information for one or more terminals may be included in one random access response. This is because it is necessary to inform which UE the RNTI and the TAC are valid. In this step, it is assumed that the UE selects a random access preamble identifier that matches the random access preamble selected by the terminal.
- the random access procedure may be determined to be normally performed by receiving the random access response information, and the random access procedure may be terminated.
- a UE randomly selects one random access preamble from a set of random access preambles indicated by system information or a handover command, and transmits the random access preamble. You can select and send a resource.
- the method of receiving the random access response information is similar to that in the aforementioned non- contention based random access procedure. That is, after transmitting the random access preamble, the UE attempts to receive its random access response within the random access response receiving window indicated by the system information or the handover command from the base station, and transmits corresponding RA-RNTI information. PDSCH can be received through. Through this, the UE may receive an UL grant, a temporary cell identifier (Temporary C-RNTI), a timing advance command (TAC), and the like.
- Temporal C-RNTI Temporal cell identifier
- TAC timing advance command
- the terminal When the terminal receives a random access response valid to the terminal, it may process the information included in the random access response. That is, the terminal applies the TAC and stores the temporary C-RNTI.
- the UL grant may be used to transmit data (ie, a third message) to the base station. That is, the third message should include the identifier of the terminal.
- the base station In the contention-based random access process, the base station cannot determine which terminals perform the random access process, because the terminal needs to be identified for future collision resolution.
- the UE transmits its cell identifier through an uplink transmission signal corresponding to the UL grant.
- the terminal transmits its own unique identifier (eg, S-TMSI or random ID). In general, the unique identifier is longer than the cell identifier.
- the terminal transmits data corresponding to the UL grant, it starts a timer for contention resolution (contention resolution timer).
- the terminal After the terminal transmits data including its identifier through the UL grant included in the random access response, the terminal waits for instructions from the base station to resolve the collision. That is, it may attempt to receive the PDCCH to receive a specific message. There are two methods for receiving the PDCCH. As mentioned above, when the third message transmitted in response to the UL grant is transmitted using a cell identifier of its own, it attempts to receive the PDCCH using its cell identifier, and the identifier is a unique identifier. In this case, it may attempt to receive the PDCCH using the temporary C-RNTI included in the random access response.
- the terminal may determine that the random access procedure has been normally performed and may terminate the random access procedure.
- the terminal may determine that the random access procedure has been normally performed and may terminate the random access procedure.

- scheduling information between base stations may be adjusted by using an overload indicator, a high interference indicator, and the like transmitted through the X2 interface between the base stations. Accordingly, intercell interference can be easily solved. This is a method that can be applied only when communication between base stations is possible.
- an appropriate wired or wireless interface for communication between heterogeneous networks such as a macro base station and a micro base station may not be provided.
- a femto cell or HeNB
- the user may install without a separate cell planning process, so it is difficult to avoid interference by a planned installation. have. Therefore, it is difficult to perform the interference avoidance operation by direct signal transmission for the micro base station that is not directly connected to and synchronized with the macro base station.
- the present invention proposes a method for designing a radio channel for efficiently managing inter-cell interference in a multi-cell based mobile communication system and controlling inter-cell interference through the same.
- Control of intercell interference is, for example, adjusting the transmit power of the micro base station causing interference to the macro terminal.
- the present invention mainly describes a heterogeneous network environment by way of example, but is not limited thereto, and inter-cell interference can be efficiently managed according to the principles of the present invention even within a homogeneous network environment.
- the downlink signal of the micro base station HeNB1 acts as a strong interference to the macro terminal UE1 as shown in FIG. 1, so that the macro terminal MUE1 is separated from the macro base station MeNB1.
- the inter-cell interference reduction method of the present invention is not applied only in the case of downlink signal interference, and the uplink signal from the macro terminal UE1 to the macro base station MeNB1 interferes with the uplink signal of the micro terminal UE1. Even when acting as the principle proposed in the present invention can be applied equally.
- the intercell interference reduction scheme proposed by the present invention may be distinguished according to whether two timings (eg, macro base station and micro base station) can share mutual timing information.
- a method of reducing interference when a macro base station and a micro base station can share mutual timing information will be described.
- timing information for example, radio frame boundary, subframe boundary, slot boundary, or part or all of subframe number
- a terminal may perform handover from one cell to another cell, one cell may obtain timing information about another cell adjacent thereto.
- FIG. 7 is a view for explaining the interference reduction method according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the macro terminal UE may estimate each channel using reference signals from each of the macro base station MeNB and the micro base station HeNB.
- the MUE is based on the amount of interference (eg, reception strength of the downlink signal from the HeNB), the degree of interference (eg, signal-to-interference and noise of the downlink signal from the MeNB).
- SINR Signal-to-Interference plus Noise Ratio
- the MUE may simply report the signal reception strength from each of the MeNB and HeNB, and in this case, determine the degree of interference experienced by the MUE in the MeNB, and the like. For example, the MeNB knows the strength of the downlink signal transmitted to the MUE, and the downlink signal reception strength reported from the MUE is lower than the signal reception strength expected by the MeNB (or the downlink reception strength previously reported). MeNB may determine that the MUE suffers severe interference. In addition, if the MUE can calculate a path loss with the interference cell (HeNB) in step S710, it is preferable to report or feed back this information to the MeNB as well.
- HeNB path loss with the interference cell
- the MeNB may configure a message for interference management to be delivered to the HeNB in consideration of the measurement information received from the MUE, and notify the MUE through a downlink control signal.
- the MeNB may determine that the MUE experiences strong interference from the neighbor cell (HeNB) when the SINR received from the MUE is lower than the expected channel state, and may generate information for interference management.
- the MeNB can provide the MUE with information that can inform the HeNB of downlink power control degree, interference degree, location of time / frequency resources available (or unavailable) to the HeNB, and the like. In this case, when a time / frequency resource available for the HeNB is not specified in advance, the MUE may be informed to the MUE through an UL grant.
- Such information may be included in a complex signal (CS) transmitted by the MUE to the HeNB.
- the MeNB may transmit the above information by including it in an UL grant included in the PDCCH to the MUE.
- the grant may be scheduling information defining an uplink time / frequency resource, etc. that the MUE will use to transmit the CS to the HeNB, and information that triggers the MUE to transmit the CS.
- the MeNB provides the HeNB with information for CS transmission through the MUE because the MeNB and the HeNB can directly communicate with each other as described above.
- the MeNB may provide scheduling information for allowing the MUE to transmit CS by using a DL grant.
- the MUE that defines a specific bit of the downlink grant for CS transmission triggering and scheduling purposes, and receives the downlink grant including the specific bit, uses a predetermined uplink resource without a separate uplink grant to the HeNB. It may be operable to send a CS to the.
- the MUE may transmit the complex signal CS to the HeNB through a previously promised or allocated resource.
- the MUE may allow the MUE to perform CS transmission using a triggering bit included in a control signal from the MeNB without a separate uplink / downlink grant. .
- the MUE determines whether a certain condition (e.g., interference from the HeNB exceeds a predetermined threshold) is satisfied without waiting for a grant from the MeNB.
- the CS may be immediately delivered to the HeNB through a predetermined resource.
- the MUE may broadcast the CS omni-directional.
- the CS may be sent to all cells (including the HeNB causing interference) adjacent to the MUE. However, it is preferable to transmit the CS on a predetermined resource or a mutually promised resource between cooperative cells so that the HeNB can reliably receive the CS. This is to prevent the CS from colliding with another signal transmitted to the HeNB (for example, PUCCH or PUSCH from the HUE) so that the HeNB does not receive the CS or the other signal.
- the resource when transmitting the CS through the PUCCH, the resource may be transmitted while being changed randomly in every slot or subframe unit or according to a predetermined hopping pattern. In this case, the pattern may be the same as or different from the PUCCH hopping pattern.
- CS resources to PUCCH are to change the cyclic shift and orthogonal cover sequence values used in the PUCCH format 1 / 1a / 1b to change slots or subframes.
- PUCCH transmission other than CS hops a Cyclic Shift and Orthogonal Cover Sequence resource according to a predetermined pattern on a slot basis, whereas the CS proposed in the present invention is a specific resource region.
- the relative hopping effect can be obtained by fixing the cyclic shift value or the orthogonal cover sequence value in the.
- the normal uplink transmission of step S750 indicates that communication between the MUE and the MeNB continues while the MUE transmits CS to the HeNB.
- CS transmission may be performed using a PRACH resource.
- the present invention proposes In the scheme, even though the CS is transmitted using the PRACH resource, the UE is not disconnected from the serving cell.
- the general uplink transmission of step S750 may indicate that the CS signal transmitted by the MUE in all directions is also transmitted to the MeNB as described above.
- the HeNB may perform the interference reduction operation by identifying the contents of the received CS.
- the interference reduction operation may be performed by the HeNB receiving the CS to properly adjust its transmission power (downlink transmission power) or to instruct the HUE to appropriately adjust the transmission power (uplink transmission power) (power control). Change the location of resources allocated to the HUE (resource re-allocation), use different component carriers in the uplink / downlink of the HeNB and the HUE (carrier switching), or It may include an operation such as adjusting the transmission beam to reduce interference.
- the interference reduction operation of the HeNB can be expressed by providing scheduling information considering the interference to the HUE.
- the serving cell of the interfering terminal transmits the CS signal to the cell causing the interference through the interfering terminal, so that a fast, dynamic and efficient interference reduction operation may be performed.
- information on the interference pattern may be additionally included in the CS.
- the interference experienced by the MUE shows a large difference in every subframe unit over time or the interference is induced with a constant pattern based on subframes.
- a half duplex relay exists near the MUE.
- the half-way communication repeater refers to a repeater that performs transmission and reception operations in different time intervals. For example, in a predetermined frequency band, the repeater receives a backhaul downlink from a macro base station for a certain time interval.
- the repeater During another time interval, the repeater repeatedly transmits an access downlink to a serving terminal, or transmits a backhaul uplink to a macro base station for a certain time interval, and access uplink from a terminal served by the repeater for another time interval. Receiving may be performed repeatedly.
- the repeater access link operates in a specific subframe and the backhaul link operates in a specific subframe, causing severe interference to the MUE in the subframe set1 in which the access link operates, and then the backhaul link operates.
- an interference pattern may occur in the form of a subframe in which the access link does not operate, so as to reduce interference to an adjacent MUE.
- the CS needs to inform which subframe set (that is, set1 or set2) is the subframe in which the interference occurs.
- the CS may include subframe set information related to such interference pattern. There may be one or more such sets. That is, a set having a plurality of levels of interference may exist according to the interference level.
- FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining an example of a complex signal (CS) transmission in a multi-cell environment.
- CS complex signal
- the terminal that is being interfered by the neighbor cell reports the measurement information to the serving cell
- the serving cell transmits a grant for transmitting the CS to the terminal
- the terminal receiving the grant to the neighbor cell CS can be transmitted.
- the cell receiving the CS may perform an operation such as adjusting its uplink / downlink transmission power or reallocating resources according to information indicated by the CS.
- the operation is not limited to transmitting the CS to the neighboring micro base station HeNB # 2 by the grant from the macro base station MeNB, but may be applied to the inter-cell interference between the micro base stations. It is shown.
- HUE # 1 For example, in the case of HUE # 1 served by HeNB # 1, strong interference may be received by HeNB # 2.
- HUE # 1 reports interference measurement information to HeNB # 1
- HeNB # 1 transmits a grant for CS to HUE # 1
- HUE # 1 sends a CS to HeNB # 2 using the received grant.
- HeNB # 2 may perform an interference reduction operation.
- HUE # 2 that is strongly interfered by HeNB # 3 transmits a CS to HeNB # 3 using a grant from HeNB # 2, so that HeNB # 3 can perform an interference reduction operation.
- a micro terminal experiencing interference from the macro base station may transmit a CS to the macro base station through a grant from the micro base station.
- an uplink channel for transmitting a CS to a base station for example, a micro base station (HeNB # 2)
- HeNB # 2 micro base station
- MUE # 1 a macro terminal
- a PUCCH resource to which information such as CQI is allocated may be located at the outermost portion of the uplink frequency resource (see the control region of FIG. 6), but such PUCCH may be formed using higher layer signaling (eg, RRC signaling).
- the frequency position of the resource can be moved inward (ie, the higher frequency region to a lower frequency region and the lower frequency region to a higher frequency region) by a certain number of RBs. Accordingly, the location to which the ACK / NACK, the scheduling request (SR), etc.
- a channel for CS transmission can be allocated to a frequency domain outside the frequency location of the inwardly moved PUCCH resource (ie, outside the over-dimensioning PUCCH resource region).
- the CS may be transmitted through an energy signal raised to a specific level, such as a beacon signal, or may be transmitted through a specific sequence.
- the CS may be transmitted using the PRACH resource. That is, the CS can be transmitted on a time resource (subframe) in which a PRACH determined for each UE can be transmitted. Since the PRACH is a channel designed for use in a state where the base station and the terminal are not completely synchronized, it is effective for the terminal (interfering terminal) to transmit a signal to an unsynchronized neighboring cell (cell causing interference).
- the CS may be transmitted through the reserved resource region through predetermined signaling in a manner similar to the PRACH resource.
- a specific region of the PUSCH region may be reserved in advance through predetermined signaling and used for CS transmission.
- a specific region of the PUCCH may be reserved in advance through predetermined signaling and used for CS transmission. This is a method of allocating some of the existing PUCCH regions for CS, unlike the above-mentioned dimensioned PUCCH. For example, some of resources allocated with ACK / NACK may be reserved for CS transmission.
- Inter-cell timing alignment can be described as matching subframe boundaries of different cells within an acceptable error range, and inter-cell timing alignment adjusts the time / frequency resource region used by the MUE and the time / frequency resource region used by the HUE. It is necessary for coordination.
- candidates of the time and frequency resource region to which the CS is transmitted are preferably predetermined and shared among cells according to the above-described various embodiments. That is, it is known between cells in advance that a CS can be transmitted on a certain frequency resource (RB) of a certain time resource (subframe), and an interference terminal transmits a CS to a cell causing interference and the cell is a CS. Can be correctly received.
- the candidate of the resource region to which the CS is transmitted may be set to a very small portion of the total system resources, thereby preventing system resource waste.
- the present invention proposes to transmit the CS through a specific preamble sequence.
- the specific preamble sequence may be provided as a predetermined sequence similar to, for example, the existing PRACH preamble.
- the CS preamble sequence proposed in the present invention is not the same as the existing PRACH preamble sequence.
- the resources used for the PRACH is 6RB, but the resources required for CS transmission in an actual micro base station (or femto cell) environment can be designed smaller than 6RB. have.
- the general PRACH resources are designed for a random access procedure of a large number of terminals, such as a macro base station, the number of terminals transmitting CS to the base station causing interference will not be greater than the number of terminals using a common PRACH. Because you can assume. In addition, even if resources for CS transmission are designed with the same size as a general PRACH preamble resource, since the number of CS transmissions is small, the problem of resource waste may be insignificant. In addition, the length and number of sequences used for CS transmission may also be designed smaller than the length and number of PRACH preamble sequences. This is because it can be assumed that the terminal transmitting the CS is not as many as the terminal transmitting the PRACH.
- the designed sequence can be shared between cells (ie, using a predetermined sequence and sharing the predetermined sequence at an early stage). That is, a sequence may be allocated to each cell for CS transmission, and when a CS transmission is required, which cell may use which sequence may be coordinated in advance. For example, the same CS transmission resource and CS sequences may be shared between adjacent cells.
- the CS in the form of a preamble sequence using the sequence may include information about which UE transmits the CS and which target cell to transmit. That is, it may include an identifier (UE ID) of the terminal transmitting the CS and / or the identifier (Cell ID) of the target cell causing the interference (which may be included on the CS preamble or CS payload), or the target It can also be distinguished by assigning different sequences for each cell.
- UE ID an identifier
- Cell ID the identifier of the target cell causing the interference
- the CS may be implemented by simply including information in the form of ON / OFF indicating that the interference reduction operation is not required or the interference reduction operation is not required.
- the CS may include various additional information required for the interference reduction operation.
- the additional information may include, for example, a degree of interference experienced by the terminal, a degree of reduction in transmission power requested by the cell, a frequency band in which the interference occurs (full frequency band or some subbands), and the like. Providing this additional information can increase the degree of freedom of scheduling in the cell causing the interference. For example, in a cell causing interference, priority may be given to each interference frequency or frequency band, and the transmission power having the highest priority may be reduced.
- the CS transmission proposed by the present invention has a difference from the conventional PRACH transmission.
- the handover is performed in the form of releasing the connection with the cell being served when the UE transmits the PRACH to the adjacent cell. If the CS transmission is operated in this manner, it is not possible to perform a function of notifying that neighboring cells are interfering while maintaining the connection with the cell being served.
- the UE unlike the existing PRACH channel, the UE does not release the connection with the served cell. For example, even if the macro terminal transmits a CS similar to the PRACH for the neighboring micro base station, it does not release the connection with the macro base station. Accordingly, the channel proposed according to the present invention has a function of transmitting inter-cell coordination information and maintaining connection with a serving cell.
- the present invention proposes to transmit the CS using a channel structure similar to the HARQ acknowledgment (ACK / NACK) or scheduling request (SR) on the PUCCH.
- ACK / NACK HARQ acknowledgment
- SR scheduling request
- the resources used are coordination between cells.
- the target cell eg, HeNB
- the target cell that receives the CS may operate in a mode in which the corresponding radio resource is left empty and the CS may be received. This may also be done by intercell coordination.
- the designed CS can be operated in the form of a contention-based uplink channel by changing the usage, in addition to the use of the transmission power adjustment request for the cell causing interference according to the basic purpose. That is, the function of the channel of the existing PRACH (the terminal not synchronized with respect to the target cell, such as grant acquisition for uplink transmission) can be performed with less latency. In addition, information for coordination between cells may be interchanged through the channel for CS.
- FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining CS transmission timing.
- the macro terminal MUE # 1 in the macro base station MeNB (macro cell) of FIG. 8 transmits a CS to the micro base station HeNB # 2 (femto-cell B). Assume the case.
- a CS (denoted as “S” in FIG. 9) may be transmitted according to a HeNB subframe boundary.
- S means the actual transmission-related signal, and may correspond to some or all of the CS structure (structure). This allows HeNB # 2 to receive an "S" from MUE # 1 with an UL channel from HUE # 2. In this case, since MUE # 1 must transmit a signal over two subframes, this needs to be considered.
- MUE # 1 transmits S through a specific RB, uplink transmission can be performed for the remaining RBs in which S is not transmitted while transmitting the two R frames over the corresponding RB.
- S may be simultaneously transmitted along with the PUSCH / PUCCH in a specific time domain from the MUE # 1 point of view.
- MUE # 1 may simultaneously transmit PUSCH and S, transmit PUCCH and S at the same time, or simultaneously transmit S while uplink control information (PUCCH information) is piggybacked on the PUSCH.
- PUCCH information uplink control information
- the MUE # 1 may be configured to transmit only S, only PUSCH, only PUCCH, or piggyback and transmit uplink control information (PUCCH information) to the PUSCH. have. If it is set not to perform simultaneous transmission, there is an advantage in that the transmitted signal (either PUSCH, PUCCH or S) can be transmitted at higher power or by assigning a higher modulation and coding scheme (MCS).
- MCS modulation and coding scheme
- SRS sounding reference signal
- PUCCH and PUSCH are not simultaneously transmitted in order to maintain a single carrier property in uplink transmission. That is, it is generally set not to transmit the PUSCH when transmitting the PUCCH and not to transmit the PUCCH when transmitting the PUSCH. In this case, it is necessary to consider whether to perform the PUSCH transmission when the CS is transmitted over the PUCCH. In the present invention, it is proposed not to transmit the PUSCH when the CS is transmitted through the PUCCH. In other words, when the CS is transmitted through the PUCCH by giving priority to the CS, the CS may be set not to transmit data or the CS is allocated only in a subframe in which no PUSCH is transmitted. Similarly, the present invention proposes not to transmit a PUCCH when transmitting a CS through a PUSCH.
- information on interference reduction may be transmitted using only a part of the CS.
- a time domain corresponding to the first slot of one subframe using timing information between two cells, the MeNB uses the first symbol of HeNB # 2 as a symbol interval of a subframe).
- the MUE # 1 may transmit S.
- S may be transmitted through some symbols or one slot in one subframe. By doing so, MUE # 1 can use only one subframe to transmit S, and solve the problem of not using the next subframe as shown in FIG. 9 (a).
- MUE # 1 may transmit S in the time domain corresponding to the second slot of one subframe based on HeNB # 2 receiving S. . 9 (b), the guard time that compensates the timing difference between two cells at the edge of one subframe rather than transmitting the CS using all of the SC-FDMA symbols of one subframe. It can also be expressed as a (guard time).
- MUE # 1 repeatedly configures S in one slot unit or N (N ⁇ 1) symbol units.
- the MUE # 1 may transmit the CS according to its timing without considering the timing of the target cell. Since S is configured and repeatedly transmitted in units of N slots, even if MUE # 1 does not consider the timing of the target cell, there is a high possibility that an S received according to the timing of the target cell exists.
- MUE # 1 since MUE # 1 repeatedly transmits S, it is possible to transmit at a lower coding rate of S.
- the HeNB # 2 receiving S can correctly demodulate S through S repeatedly transmitted from MUE # 1 even if some of the repeatedly transmitted S are not received according to its timing.
- the time / frequency resource allocation of the CS will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11.
- FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating time / frequency allocation in an uplink subframe received by a target cell when the CS is transmitted according to a timing of a target cell (cell causing interference) as shown in FIG. 9 (a).
- the micro base station HeNB # 2 which is a target cell, receives a CS (i.e., a macro terminal MUE # 1) that is timing aligned with a PUSCH / PUCCH from the micro terminal HUE # 2.
- S can be received.
- the PUCCH resource start region may be moved into the system band and CS (S (A) and S (C)) may be allocated on the RB outside the PUCCH start RB.
- the CS may be transmitted through a specific region S (B) on the PUSCH reserved through predetermined signaling.
- the micro base station HeNB # 2 causing interference receives the CS (S (A), S (B) or S (C)) from the macro terminal MUE # 1 that is subjected to the interference.
- the PUCCH or the PUSCH from the micro terminal (HUE # 2) may be received.
- FIG. 11 illustrates resource allocation from the standpoint of a macro terminal (MUE # 1) that transmits a CS in a serving cell when the CS is transmitted according to the timing of a target cell (cell causing interference) as shown in FIG. It is a figure for demonstrating an example. As shown in both FIG. 9 (a) and FIG. 11, S may be transmitted over two subframes in a transmission frame of MUE # 1.
- MUE # 1 macro terminal
- FIG. 11 illustrates resource allocation from the standpoint of a macro terminal (MUE # 1) that transmits a CS in a serving cell when the CS is transmitted according to the timing of a target cell (cell causing interference) as shown in FIG. It is a figure for demonstrating an example.
- S may be transmitted over two subframes in a transmission frame of MUE # 1.
- the CS may be allocated to a predetermined area S (A), S (B) or S (C). If MUE # 1 simultaneously transmits PUSCH and S (B), the uplink DMRS and CS (S (B)) of MUE # 1 may overlap as shown in FIG. 11. In this case, the DMRS of the RB in which S (B) exists may be set not to transmit. Alternatively, if the location of DMRS transmitted by MUE # 1 in the target cell (HeNB # 2) is known in advance, and CS is not transmitted in the resource area overlapping with DMRS, CS is correctly transmitted in HeNB # 2 even if MUE # 1 transmits DMRS. Can be received.
- the CS overlapping with the DMRS may be punctured.
- the CS overlapping the resource region (last symbol of the uplink subframe) through which the SRS is transmitted may be punctured.
- the macro base station (MeNB) does not schedule the PUSCH allocation of MUE # 1 as shown in FIG. 11 (i.e., avoids the S (B) region) or does not perform the PUSCH transmission in the subframe in which the CS is transmitted. You can also schedule.
- the transmission power of the CS may be set through separate signaling.
- Information on the CS transmission power may be provided to MUE # 1 by a serving cell (macro base station (MeNB)).
- MUE # 1 may calculate the CS transmission power by estimating the path loss of the target cell.
- the CS may be transmitted according to the timing of the serving cell (the MeNB to which the MUE # 1 to be served) instead of the target cell (HeNB # 2 to cause the interference).
- the transmission subframe structure may be transmitted differently each time.
- the structure of the transmission subframe may be appropriately selected in consideration of the timing difference between the serving cell and the target cell. For example, the number of slots or symbols to which the CS is transmitted may be appropriately adjusted in consideration of possible timing differences between cells. This method is easy to apply when inter-cell timing coordination is made.
- a candidate of an appropriate subframe structure may be determined in advance, and a method of blind detection among candidates of the subframe structure may be applied at the receiving side.
- a method of transmitting a plurality of CSs having a short length of several symbols by applying different timing may be used. For example, in case of transmitting a CS every 10ms, in a subframe corresponding to 10ms, 30ms, 50ms, ..., the CS is transmitted on the first slot and subs corresponding to 20ms, 40ms, 60, ... In the frame, the CS can be transmitted on the second slot. According to such a blind detection method, signaling overhead may be reduced.
- CS format may be different according to the scheduler implementation of each cell.
- the CS format may use (or reuse) the format of the existing PRACH preamble
- the format of the existing PRACH preamble will be described.
- 12 is a diagram illustrating a structure of a conventional PRACH preamble.
- the PRACH preamble includes a CP and a sequence, and the CP and the sequence have a length of T CP and T SEQ , respectively.
- T CP and T SEQ lengths according to the PRACH preamble format may be defined as shown in Table 1 below.
- preamble format 4 is designed to be applied to UpPTS in a special subframe of a type 2 (TDD) radio frame structure, and thus is defined as a short time length.
- the length in the time domain of the preamble for CS is preferably implemented short. Because the shorter the CS preamble length, there is an advantage of reducing the waste of resources for CS transmission, and to correctly receive the CS in the target cell when the inter-cell timing is not aligned, and also causes interference This is because the CS preamble length does not need to be long because the distance between the cell and the terminal to be interfered with is close.
- the preamble for the CS may be configured as a preamble having a length equal to the PRACH preamble format 4.
- coordination information may be transmitted in addition to the CS preamble.
- a new short length format for CS may be defined.
- the CS format is shared in each cell as predetermined, and the cell receiving the preamble of the predetermined format may recognize that the CS for the cell has been transmitted.
- FIG. 13 (a) shows an example of transmitting only a preamble based on a coordinated sequence sequence.
- FIG. 13B illustrates an example in which a payload is embedded through a preamble index or a resource location.
- the predefined preamble is defined as the CS preamble.
- the CS payload is embedded in the preamble itself.
- FIG. 13C shows an example of transmitting a payload by setting a field separately from the preamble.
- a guard period may be set in both the preambles (preamble and payload). Alternatively, the guard period may be set only on one side of the preamble (preamble and payload).
- the payload transmitted with the preamble may include parameters related to the CS. For example, the identifier (Cell ID) of the target cell, the identifier (UE ID) of the terminal transmitting the CS, the degree of transmission power reduction, the radio resources (time, frequency or carrier) that the transmission power should be reduced, resource reallocation Information about the request, the carrier switching request, and the request for the additional operation may be included in the payload.
- the CS preamble may be transmitted in a manner similar to a rule applied to the relationship between message 1 (random access preamble) and message 2 (arbitrary access response) used in the random access procedure.
- the terminal under interference may select the CS preamble format and transmit only the CS preamble to the base station causing the interference through a specific resource.
- the specific resource to which the CS preamble is transmitted is a resource according to various embodiments of the present invention described above (specific resource reserved for CS in the over-dimensioned PUCCH resource outer region, PRACH resource, PUSCH or PUCCH region, FIG. 9). And time resources suggested in 11).
- the base station causing the interference may transmit a response message corresponding to the received CS preamble to the terminal that has transmitted the CS preamble.
- the terminal receiving the interference may transmit a message including specific information about the CS to the base station through an uplink resource indicated by the UL grant included in the response message.
- the present invention is not limited thereto, and the same principle can be applied to the uplink interference.
- an uplink signal from the micro terminal (HUE) to the micro base station (HeNB) causes interference in the uplink of the macro terminal (MUE) adjacent to the HeNB. This case may occur when the MUE is located adjacent to the MeNB and the HeNB and the HUE are located in an area adjacent to the MUE.
- the MeNB may determine whether uplink interference of the MUE occurs based on an uplink signal from the MUE and an uplink signal from the HUE, and determine whether to transmit CS.
- the MeNB can instruct the MUE to send the CS to the HeNB (ie, send a grant for the CS). Accordingly, the MUE may transmit the CS to the HeNB, and the HeNB receiving the CS may instruct the HUE to reduce interference such as uplink transmission power, resource reallocation, carrier switching, and the like.
- the case where the uplink / downlink signal between the HeNB and the HUE causes interference to the adjacent MUE is described as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

- the HeNB may allocate a grant to the HUE to send a CS to the MeNB.
- the HUE may transmit a CS to the MeNB. For example, when timing alignment between cells is performed or not, the CS may be transmitted in consideration of the case where the timing difference between cells is known and unknown.
- the CS may be transmitted through the PRACH subframe, or may be transmitted according to the subframe boundary of the target cell or the subframe boundary of the serving cell.
- a specific region of PUCCH or PUSCH may be used as a resource to which CS can be allocated.
- the strength of the CS signal transmitted by the HUE may be difficult to reach the MeNB because the HUE may increase the transmit power of the CS transmission.
- the HUE transmits the CS to the MeNB the communication between the HUE and the HeNB is maintained.
- the allocation of the CS transmission resources, the CS transmission timing, and the like in steps S1420 and S1430 may be equally applied to the above description of the embodiment of the present invention.
- the MeNB that receives the CS in step S1440 may adjust downlink transmission power for the MUE, allow the MUE to adjust uplink transmission power, or perform an interference reduction operation such as resource reallocation and carrier switching.
- 15 is a view for explaining a method for reducing interference according to another embodiment of the present invention.
