Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. First, a configuration example of the communication system according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIG. The communication system in FIG. 1 includes a base station 10, a radio relay station 20, and a communication terminal 30. The base station 10, the radio relay station 20, and the communication terminal 30 may be computer devices that operate by a processor executing a program stored in a memory. The processor may be, for example, a microprocessor, an MPU (Micro Processing Unit), or a CPU (Central Processing Unit). The memory may be a volatile memory or a nonvolatile memory, and may be configured by a combination of a volatile memory and a nonvolatile memory. The processor executes one or more programs including a group of instructions for causing a computer to execute an algorithm described with reference to the following drawings.
The base station 10 communicates with the communication terminal 30 via the radio relay station 20. The base station 10 may be a DeNB whose specifications are defined in 3GPP. Further, the radio relay station 20 may be an RN whose specifications are defined in 3GPP. The communication terminal 30 may be a UE whose specifications are defined in 3GPP. The radio relay station 20 performs radio communication with the base station 10 and the communication terminal 30.
Subsequently, a configuration example of the base station 10 will be described. The base station 10 includes a control unit 11 and a communication unit 12. The control unit 11 and the communication unit 12 may be software or modules that execute processing when the processor executes a program stored in a memory. Alternatively, the control unit 11 and the communication unit 12 may be hardware such as a circuit or a chip.
The control unit 11 measures the load state of the base station 10 and detects that the base station 10 is in an overload state exceeding a predetermined load. The load is, for example, the number of radio relay stations 20 and communication terminals 30 that communicate with the base station 10, the amount of data processed by the base station 10, the CPU (Central Processor Unit) usage rate of the base station 10, or the memory of the base station 10 It may be a usage rate or the like. Even if the control unit 11 detects that the load value such as the number of the radio relay stations 20 and the communication terminals 30 communicating with the base station 10 exceeds a predetermined threshold, it is in an overload state. Good. Alternatively, the control unit 11 may detect that the base station 10 is in an overload state when notified by another device that the base station 10 is in an overload state.
When the control unit 11 detects that the base station 10 is overloaded, the communication unit 12 relates to another base station in order to connect the radio relay station 20 to another base station that is not overloaded. Information is transmitted to the radio relay station 20. The other base station may be a DeNB having a function or an interface that can be connected to a radio relay station, for example. The other base station may be a base station that does not exceed a predetermined load. The information regarding the other base station may be identification information for identifying the other base station, for example. Specifically, the identification information may be an IP (Internet Protocol) address or the like.
The radio relay station 20 may determine that the base station 10 is overloaded by receiving information on other base stations. In this case, since the radio relay station 20 has received information on other base stations, the radio relay station 20 can cancel the connection with the base station 10 and newly connect to another base station. That is, the base station 10 can prompt the wireless relay station 20 to connect to another base station by transmitting information related to the other base station to the wireless relay station 20.
As described above, when the base station 10 in FIG. 1 is in an overload state, the base station 10 transmits information related to other base stations in order to connect to the connected radio relay station 20 to other base stations. be able to. As a result, the overloaded base station 10 can reduce the number of communicating devices, and thus can eliminate the overloaded state. As a result, the base station 10 can prevent quality degradation such as communication stoppage due to an overload state.
Subsequently, a configuration example of the communication system according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIG. The communication system of FIG. 2 shows a mobile communication system defined in 3GPP. The communication system of FIG. 2 includes an RN 41, a DeNB 42, a DeNB 43, an eNB 44, an eNB 45, an MME (Mobility Management Entity) 46, an SGW (Serving Gateway) 47, and a UE 48. The RN 41 corresponds to the radio relay station 20 in FIG. The DeNB 42 and DeNB 43 correspond to the base station 10 in FIG. The UE 48 corresponds to the communication terminal 30 in FIG.
The MME 46 and the SGW 47 are nodes constituting the core network, and may be referred to as a core network node. The MME 46 performs bearer or connection control related to the RN 41 and the UE 48. The SGW 47 processes user data transmitted or received by the RN 41 or the UE 48. Specifically, the SGW 47 performs user data transfer processing and the like.
The eNB 44 and the eNB 45 are base stations that support LTE (Long Termination Evolution) as a wireless communication scheme. The DeNB 42 and DeNB 43 are also base stations that support LTE as a wireless communication method. The DeNB 42 and DeNB 43 are base stations that are connected to the RN 41 and control the RN 41, but the eNB 44 and the eNB 45 are not connected to the RN 41. The DeNB 42 being connected to the RN 41 may be a state in which the DeNB 42 can perform wireless communication with the RN 41, for example.
The RN 41 performs radio communication with the DeNB 42. Further, the RN 41 relays user data transmitted between the DeNB 42 and the UE 48. Moreover, the dotted line between RN41 and DeNB43 has shown that RN41 can change a connecting point from DeNB42 to DeNB43. The DeNB change process in the RN 41 will be described in detail later.
DeNB42 can relay the X2 signaling message transmitted between eNB44 and RN41 by setting X2 interface with eNB44 and RN41. In other words, the DeNB 42 has an X2 proxy function. The X2 signaling message is a control message transmitted in the X2 interface. The X2 proxy function also includes relaying user data transmitted between the eNB 44 and the RN 41. The user data may be, for example, GTP (GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) Tunneling Protocol) data.
Furthermore, the DeNB 42 can relay the S1 message between the RN 41 and the MME 46 and between the RN 41 and the SGW 47 by setting the S1 interface with the MME 46, the SGW 47, and the RN 41. In other words, the DeNB 42 has an S1 proxy function (S1 proxy proxy functionality). Specifically, the S1 interface may be referred to as an S1-MME interface between the DeNB 42 and the MME 46, and may be referred to as an S1-U interface between the DeNB 42 and the SGW 47.
Furthermore, the DeNB 42 terminates the radio line with the RN 41 and sets the Un interface. Setting the Un interface may be paraphrased as setting RRC (Radio Resource Control) Connection, for example. The RN 41 terminates the X2 interface, the S1 interface, and the Un interface.
Also, the RN 41 terminates the radio line with the UE 48 and sets the Uu interface. An X2 interface is also set between the eNB 44 and the eNB 45. The DeNB 43 is also set with various interfaces in the same manner as the DeNB 42.
Subsequently, a configuration example of the DeNB 42 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the DeNB 42, a management unit 13 is added to the base station 10 of FIG. In FIG. 3, the management unit 13 having a configuration different from that in FIG. 1 will be mainly described.
The management unit 13 manages the load state of the own device and other DeNBs, for example, the DeNB 42 and the DeNB 43. Furthermore, the management unit 13 may manage the load states of the eNB 44 and the eNB 45. For example, the management unit 13 manages information related to the load state of the own device measured by the control unit 11. Furthermore, the management unit 13 manages information regarding the load state of the DeNB 43 transmitted from the DeNB 43. For example, the DeNB 42 may receive information regarding the load state of the DeNB 43 via the MME 46, and may receive information regarding the load state of the DeNB 43 via the eNB 45 and the eNB 44. Furthermore, the management unit 13 may manage information regarding the load state of the eNB 44 and the eNB 45 transmitted from the eNB 44 and the eNB 45.
Further, the management unit 13 may acquire the load state of the DeNB 42 and DeNB 43 from an operation system that manages the load state of the devices constituting the network. In addition, the management unit 13 may acquire load states such as the DeNB 42 and the DeNB 43 from the core network node. For example, the management unit 13 may acquire load states of the DeNB 42 and DeNB 43 from the MME 46 that is the core network via the S1 interface.
When the control unit 11 detects that the DeNB 42 is in an overload state, the control unit 11 selects a DeNB that is not in an overload state from the DeNBs managed in the management unit 13. Moreover, the control part 11 may select DeNB with the lowest load, when there exists two or more DeNB which is not an overload state. When the control unit 11 detects that the DeNB 42 is in an overload state, the control unit 11 transmits the identification information of the selected DeNB to the RN 41 via the communication unit 12.
Subsequently, a configuration example of the RN 41 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The RN 41 includes a control unit 51 and a communication unit 52. The components constituting the RN 41 such as the control unit 51 and the communication unit 52 may be software or modules that execute processing when the processor executes a program stored in the memory. Or the component which comprises RN41 may be hardware, such as a circuit or a chip | tip.
The communication unit 52 communicates with the DeNB 42 or DeNB 43. A Un interface, an X2 interface, and an S1 interface are set between the communication unit 52 and the connected DeNB 42 or DeNB 43. When the connected DeNB is overloaded, the communication unit 52 receives the identification information of the other DeNB from the connected DeNB. For example, the communication unit 52 receives identification information related to the DeNB 43 from the DeNB 42 when the DeNB 42 is connected to the DeNB 42 and the DeNB 42 is overloaded.
When the control unit 51 receives the identification information of another DeNB from the connected DeNB via the communication unit 52, the control unit 51 determines to cancel the connection with the connected DeNB. Furthermore, the control part 51 determines connecting with another DeNB using the received identification information.
The communication unit 52 cancels the connection with the connected DeNB 42 based on the determination in the control unit 51, for example. Furthermore, the communication unit 52 connects to the DeNB 43 using the identification information of the DeNB 43 transmitted from the DeNB 42.
The communication unit 52 communicates with the DeNB 42 or DeNB 43 and also communicates with the UE 48.

For example, the DeNB 42 may transmit an Overload Indication message to the RN 41 via the Un interface. The DeNB 42 may transmit an Overload Indication message to all connected RNs. Alternatively, the DeNB 42 may transmit an Overload Indication message to an arbitrary number of RNs from the connected RNs. For example, the DeNB 42 may measure the data processing amount for each RN, select an RN with a large data processing amount or an RN with a small data processing amount, and transmit an Overload Indication message.

The RN information response message may include information necessary for the DeNB 43 to establish a session with the RN 41. For example, the RN information response message may include address information assigned to the RN 41, security parameters related to the RN 41, and the like. Further, the DeNB 42 may transmit the RN information response message to the DeNB 43 via the MME 46.

Next, the DeNB 43 sets the X2 interface with the RN 41 and with the eNB 45 (S18). Further, the RN 41 cancels the connection with the DeNB 42 at an arbitrary timing after receiving the Overload / Indication message in Step S12 and after setting the X2 interface in Step S18. To cancel the connection may be to cancel the settings of the Un interface, the X2 interface, and the S1 interface that are set between the RN 41 and the DeNB 42.

When the identification information of a specific RN, for example, RN 41 is set in the RN information request message, the DeNB 42 may include information necessary for establishing a session with the RN 41 in the RN information response message. Alternatively, when a specific RN is not set in the RN information request message, the DeNB 42 may include information necessary for establishing a session with each RN connected to the DeNB 42 in the RN information response message.
