Abstract

The present invention provides a method for resisting small base station uplink signal interference of an indoor DAS based on antenna selection. The method comprises: step 1: determining an initial access RU, and establishing an uplink; step 2: determining, by the access RU of UE 1 on the basis of the level of interference, whether to switch to another RU, and continuously detecting, by the access RU of UE 1 an SINR value at a set time interval, and comparing the SINR with a preset threshold value γ1; wherein if the SINR value is lower than γ1, an MU sets the access RU and each peripheral RU as a candidate RU, and the MU, on the basis of the acquired SINR value of each RU, selects an SINR greater than γ1 and sets the RU having the greatest receiving signal power as the new access RU of UE 1.

Claims (13)

1. A method for resisting small base station uplink signal interference of an indoor distributed antenna system (DAS) based on antenna selection, the method comprising the following steps:

determining an initial access RU, and establishing an uplink; wherein when attempting to access a DAS, UE 1 sends an access request to the DAS; the DAS assigns an RU with a strongest received signal power to UE 1 as an access RU thereof according to signal powers of the access requests received by the RUs, and establishes an uplink; and the RU is a remote unit and an antenna connected thereto, and UE 1 is a terminal accessing the DAS;

determining, by the access RU of UE 1 , whether to switch to another RU according to an interference level; wherein the access RU of UE 1 constantly detects an signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) value at an interval of a specific time, compares the SINR value with a predetermined threshold y1 to determine whether the interference level affects communication, and performs the following operations according to the SINR value:

(1) if the SINR value is greater than y1, the DAS performs the following steps:

UE 1 maintains the uplink with the access RU, and the RU continues to constantly detect the SINR value at an interval of a specific time; and

(2) if the SINR value is less than y1, the DAS performs the following steps:

the access RU of UE 1 sends a message to an MU indicating that severe interference is caused to the RU and UE 1 needs to switch to another RU; wherein the MU is a main unit of the indoor DAS;

the MU designates the access RU and adjacent RUs as candidate RUs, and sends an instruction to the candidate RUs to instruct the candidate RUs to detect a receive power and an SINR value when receiving a signal from UE 1 ;

each of the candidate RUs detects an SINR value and a received signal power of the UE 1 , and reports the SINR value and the received signal power to the MU;

the MU selects a candidate RU with the SINR greater than y1 and with a maximum received signal power as a new access RU of UE 1 ; and

UE 1 establishes an uplink with the new access RU, and

UE 1 maintains the uplink with the new access RU, and the new access RU continues to constantly detect the SINR value at an interval of a specific time.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined threshold γ1 has a value of −3 dB to 3 dB.
