By the principle of technical scheme provided by the invention as can be known, the interference that is not limited between macro base station and low power base station is avoided, and equally also can be applied between macro base station and macro base station, the interference between low power base station and low power base station, between macro base station and low power base station etc. avoids.The below mainly take the first base station as macro base station, the second base station provided implementation as low power base station as example.
Fig. 5 is spatial domain interference avoidance scheme schematic diagram.For the convenience of describing, in figure, the running time-frequency resource of hypothesis Marco eNB is f, the running time-frequency resource that MeNB takies in Home eNB1 (being illustrated as HeNB1) direction scope is f1, the running time-frequency resource that MeNB takies in Home eNB2 (being illustrated as HeNB2) direction scope is f2, and wherein running time-frequency resource f1 and running time-frequency resource f2 can be the same or different.What wherein f-f1 represented is other running time-frequency resource that does not comprise the f1 running time-frequency resource, and what f-f2 represented is other running time-frequency resource that does not comprise the f2 running time-frequency resource.
In enforcement, Marco eNB determines Marco UE on the HeNB direction according to the positional information with respect to Marco eNB of Marco UE and HeNB, then determine the situation that the running time-frequency resource of Marco UE takies, at last with its notice HeNB, make it avoid dispatching these running time-frequency resources, avoid thereby realize disturbing.MUE in figure (Marco UE) refers to belong to the UE of Marco eNB, and HUE (Home UE) refers to belong to the UE of HeNB.
In enforcement, positional information comprises direction and coverage, thereby determines the scope of a direction.That is, positional information can comprise one of following information or its combination: geographical coordinate, coverage, orientation angle, channel information, PMI (Precooding matrix indicator, pre-coding matrix information).Concrete, positional information can for:
1), geographical coordinate and/or coverage;
2), orientation angle and/or coverage;
3), channel information etc., the PMI that for example can carry out the estimation of the angle of arrival and represent directional information according to channel information.
In enforcement, when obtaining the second base station with respect to the positional information of the first base station in the first base station, can comprise:
