BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0001]    1. Field of the Invention 
         [0002]    The present invention relates to a communication system and method and, in particular, to a base station cooperation system and method for providing a plurality of mobile stations with a communication service through cooperation among a plurality of base stations. 
         [0003]    2. Description of the Related Art 
         [0004]    Typically, a communication is designed to provided communication services including voice and various multimedia services. In order to meet the high quality and high data rate requirements for multimedia services, recent communication systems employ Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technique. With the use of multiple antennas, it is possible to increase the channel capacity in the limited channel resource and thus provide high speed communication service. 
         [0005]    Such a communication system is composed of a plurality cells neighboring with each other. The communication system includes a plurality of Base Stations (BS) for controlling their respective cells and a plurality of Mobile Stations (BS) that connect to one of the BSs to receive the communication service. In the communication between BS and MS, inter-cell interference may occurs at the cell boundary. This is because that the MS located at the cell boundary region receives the signals transmitted by a plurality of MSs. That is, the signals transmitted by the neighbor BSs can influence the MS as interferences. Accordingly, the MS experiences performance degradation at the cell boundary region. 
         [0006]    In order to mitigate the inter-cell interference, various technique of cooperation among the BSs are being proposed. In such a communication system, the BSs share the channel information such that each BS can restrict or recommend the use of specific channel information. Through the cooperation among the BSs, it is possible to reduce the inter cell interference at the MSs. Each BS acquires Channel State Information (CSI) of the MS, selects a channel code from a previously stored codebook in match with the CSI, and sends the channel code to other BSs to share the channel information. Typically, the BS quantizes the analog channel state into a channel code which is transmitted. 
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     Problem to be Solved 
       [0007]    In the conventional communication system, however, when the channel state information is converted into the channel code, the quantization loss occurs between the channel state information and the channel code. The quantize loss causes BS cooperation performance degradation. 
       Means for Solving the Problem 
       [0008]    In order to solve the above problem, the present invention provides a BS cooperation system for providing a plurality of MSs with the communication service in cooperation among a plurality of BSs. 
         [0009]    In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, a base station cooperation system for providing a plurality of mobile stations with communication service through a plurality of base stations includes a serving base station which provides a mobile station with communication service and at least one cooperating base station neighboring with the serving base station, wherein the serving base station includes a radio communication unit which acquires channel state information of the mobile station, a linear transformer which selects, when the channel state information is acquired, a serving channel code corresponding to the channel state information and produces linear transformation information using the serving channel code and the channel state information, a memory which stores a codebook having the serving channel code, and a control unit which transmits the serving channel code to the cooperating base station, producing, when cooperating channel code is received from the cooperating base station, serving weight information of the serving base station and cooperating weight information of the cooperating base station using the serving channel code and cooperating channel code and determines a beamforming vector by applying the linear transformation information to the serving weight information. 
         [0010]    In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, a base station cooperation system for providing a plurality of mobile stations with communication service through a plurality of base stations includes a plurality of base stations which select, when channel state information of a mobile station, a channel code corresponding to the channel state information, produce linear transformation information using the selected channel code and the channel state information, and transmit the selected channel code; and a coordinator which produce, when the channel code is received from the base stations, weight information per base station using the channel code and transmits the weight information to corresponding base station, wherein the base station determines, when the weight information is received, a beamforming vector by applying the linear transformation information to the weight vector. 
         [0011]    In order to solve the above problem, the present invention provides a BS cooperation method for providing a plurality of MSs with the communication service in cooperation among a plurality of BSs. 
         [0012]    In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, a base station cooperation method for providing a plurality of mobile stations with communication service through a plurality of base stations includes selecting, at a serving base station when channel state information of a mobile station is acquired, a serving channel code corresponding to the channel state information from a codebook; producing linear transformation information using the serving channel code and the channel state information; producing, when a cooperating channel code is received from a cooperating base station, serving weight information of the serving base station and cooperating weight information of the cooperating base station using the serving channel code and the cooperating channel code; and determining a beamforming vector by applying the linear transformation information to the serving weight information. 
         [0013]    In accordance with still another aspect of the present invention, a base station cooperation method for providing a plurality of mobile stations with communication service through a plurality of, base stations includes selecting, at a base station when channel state information of a mobile station is acquired, a channel code corresponding to the channel state information from a codebook; producing linear transformation information using the selected channel code and the channel state information; transmitting the selected channel code to a coordinator; transmitting, at the coordinator when the channel is received, weight information per base station produced using the received channel code to the base station; and determining, at the base station when the weight information is received, a beamforming vector by applying the linear transformation information to the weight information. 
       Advantageous Effects 
       [0014]    The BS cooperation system and method of the present invention enables the BE to produce linear transformation information that is capable of minimizing the quantization loss between the channel state information and the channel code. In the BS cooperation system of the present invention, the BS uses the linear transformation information for beamforming to recover the quantization loss. With the quantization loss recovery, it is possible to improve the cooperation performance of the BS cooperation system.

         [0022]    Referring to  FIG. 1 , the BS cooperation system of this embodiment includes a plurality of cells. Here, some of the cells are neighboring with each other. The BS cooperation system includes a plurality of BSs  110  and  120  for controlling the respective sells. The BSs  110  and  120  provide the MSs with the communication service within their respective cells. 
         [0023]    Each of the BSs can be the serving BS (B SA )  110  and simultaneously a cooperating BS (B SB )  120  cooperating with other BSs. Each of the MSs can be a serving MS (M SA ) connected to the serving BS  110  to receive the communication and simultaneously a cooperation MS (M SB )  121  connected to the cooperating BS  120  to receive the communication service. That is, the serving BS  110  and the cooperating BS  120  cooperate with each other to suppress the inter-cell interference to the serving and cooperating MSs  111  and  121 . 
         [0024]    In the BS cooperation system, the serving and cooperating MSs  111  and  121  can be located at the cell boundary of the serving and cooperating BSs  110  and  120 . The serving and cooperating MSs  111  and  121  can receive the signals transmitted by the serving and cooperating BSs  110  and  120 . At this time, the serving BS  110  can transmit a signal to the serving MS  111  with a specific channel state information, e.g. H AA , and to the cooperating MS  121  with another specific channel state information, e.g. H BA .

Likewise, the cooperating MS  121  can discriminate between HBA and HBB. Also, the cooperating MS  121  can feed back HBA and HBB to the serving BS  110  or HBA to the serving BS  110  and HBB to the cooperating bas  120 . When the channel state information of the serving and cooperating MSs  111  and  121  are received, the serving and cooperating BSs  110  and  120  share the channel state information of the serving and cooperating MSs  111  and  121  via backhaul to cooperate with each other. 
         [0026]      FIG. 2  is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of the base station  110  and  120  of  FIG. 1 .

         [0042]    Here, W i  denotes the serving weight information, F i  denotes the linear transformation information, and W i ′ denotes the final weight information. 
         [0043]    Although the description is directed to the exemplary case where the BSs can communicate directly and the BS produce the per-BS weight information to determine the beamforming vector, the present invention is not limited thereto. that is, even when the direct communication between BSs is impossible, the present invention can be implemented. Such a case is described as another embodiment hereinafter. 
         [0044]      FIG. 4  is a diagram illustrating architecture of a BS cooperation system according to another embodiment of the present invention. Although the description is directed to the BS cooperating system implemented with MIMO, the present invention is not limited thereto. 
         [0045]    Referring to  FIG. 4 , the BS cooperating system of this embodiment is composed of a plurality of cells. Some of the cells are neighboring with each other. The BS cooperation system includes a plurality of BSs  410  and  420  for controlling the respective cells and a coordinator  430  for relaying the communication between the BSs  410  and  420 . The BSs  410  and  420  can communicate with each other via the coordinator  430 . The base stations  410  and  420  provide the MSs  411  and  421  with the communication service within their respective cells. 
         [0046]    At this time, each BS can be the serving BS (BS C )  410  and simultaneously the cooperating BS (BS D )  420  which cooperate with other BS. Each MS can be the serving MS (MS C )  411  connected to the serving BS  410  for use of the communication service and simultaneously the cooperating MS (MS D )  421  connected to the cooperating BS  420  for use of the communication service. That is, the serving and cooperating BSs  410  and  420  cooperate with each other to suppress the inter-cell interference at the serving and cooperation MSs  411  and  421 . 
         [0047]    In the BS cooperation system, the serving and cooperating MSs  411  and  421  can be located at the cell boundary of the serving and cooperating BSs  410  and  420 . The serving BS  410  can transmit a signal to the serving MS  411  with specific channel state information, e.g. H CC , and to the cooperating MS  421  with specific channel stat information, e.g. H CD . 
         [0048]    Each of the serving and cooperating MSs  411  and  421  can check the channel state information and feed back the check result to the serving and cooperating BSs  410  and  420 . That is, the serving MS  411  can discriminate between H CC  and H CD . The serving MS  411  also can feed back the HCC and H CD  to the serving BS  410  or H CC  to the serving BS and H CD  to the cooperating BS  420 . Likewise, the cooperating MS  421  can discriminate between HDC and HDD. The cooperating MS  421  also can feed back HDC and HDD to the cooperating BS  420  or HDC to the serving BS  410  and HDD to the cooperating BS  420 . In this manner, when the channel state information of the serving and cooperating MSs  411  and  421  are acquired, the serving and cooperating BSs  410  and  420  can share the channel state information of the serving and cooperating MSs  411  and  421  via the coordinator  430  to cooperate with each other. 
         [0049]    Since the configuration of the BS according to this embodiment is similar to that of the above described embodiment, detailed description thereon is omitted herein. However, the BSs  410  and  420  of this embodiment do not share the channel codes directly but transmit the channel codes to the coordinator  430 . If the per-BS weight information are received, each BS applies the linear transformation information to the weight information to determine the beamforming vector. The BSs  410  and  420  can provide the MSs  411  and  421  with the communication service using the beamforming vector. In this embodiment, it is not necessary for the BSs  410  and  420  to produce the per-BS weight information. 
         [0050]      FIG. 5  is a flowchart illustrating the BS cooperation procedure according to another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the BS cooperation procedure is performed through the communication between the BSs  410  and  420 , and the BSs  410  and  420  operate in the same manner. Here, each of the BSs  410  and  420  operates as the serving BS and simultaneously as the cooperating BS. 
         [0051]    Referring to  FIG. 5 , in the BS cooperation procedure of this embodiment, the BS first acquires the channel state information at step  511 . At this time, the BS can acquire the channel state information using the sounding method or the analog feedback method. Here, the BS can acquire the channel state information in the form of analog signal. For example, the serving BS  410  can acquire H CC  and H CD  from the serving MS  411 . The serving BS  410  also can acquire H CC  from the serving MS  411  and H DC  from the cooperating MS  421 . 
         [0052]    Upon receipt of the channel state information, the BS selects the serving channel code corresponding to the channel state information from the codebook at step  513 . That is, the BS selects the channel code having the least difference to the channel state information among the channel codes of the codebook as the serving channel code. For example, the serving BS  410  can select C C  corresponding to H C . The cooperating BS  420  can select C D  corresponding to H D . At this time, the BSs  410  and  420  can select the serving channel code using equation (6):

H i  denotes the integrated channel state information in association with at least one MS that can communicate with the BS. For example, H i  of the serving BS  410  can be [H CC   T H DC   T ] 9  and H i  of the cooperating BS  420  can be [H CD   T H DD   T ] 9 . Here, T denotes the transpose of matrix. 
         [0054]    Next, the BS produces the linear transformation information using the channel stat information and the serving channel code at step  515 . At this time, the BS produces the linear transformation information to minimize the quantization loss between the channel state information and the channel code. At this time, the BS transforms the channel state information and the serving channel code linearly to produce the linear transformation as equation (7). For example, the BS can produce the linear transformation information as equation (8). In this manner, the BS can quantize the channel state information into the serving channel code and check the quantization loss between the channel state information and the serving channel code with the linear transformation information.

         [0057]    Next, the BS transmits the serving channel code to the coordinator  430  at step  517 . If the channel codes are received form the BSs  410  and  420 , the coordinator  430  produces the weight information per BS at step  519 . For example, the coordinator  430  can receive C C  corresponding to H C  from the serving BS  410 . The coordinator  430  als can receive the C D  corresponding to H D  from the cooperating bs  420 . The coordinator  430  also produces the per-bs weight information using the channel codes of the BSs  410  and  420 . For example, the coordinator  430  can produce the weight information using equation (9). The coordinator  430  transmits the per-bs weight to the BSs  410  and  420  at step  521 .

At this time, the base station can produce the final weight information using equation (10). The BS determines the beamforming vector using the final weight information. Next, the BS provides the MSs  411  and  421  with the communication service using the beamforming vector. In this manner, the BS can recover the quantization loss between the channel state information and the channel code.

The base station applies the linear transformation to beamforming for providing the communication service so as to recover the quantization loss. This improves the cooperation performance in the BS cooperation system.
