Definitions

  • the present invention belongs to the field of communication systems, and more particularly relates to a method for estimating a load of a beam of interest among a plurality of beams formed in a cell of an access network cellular wireless access network, as well as methods of configuring communications between the cellular wireless access network and a user terminal, using estimated beam loads.
  • beams in the English literature
  • a base station is typically equipped with a plurality of antennas and, by applying respective complex coefficients to the different antennas of the base station, it is possible to form different beams, i.e. say to form different radiation diagrams allowing for example to spatially multiplex different user terminals within the same cell.
  • massive MIMO massive multi-antenna system
  • MIMO Multiple Input Multiple Output
  • Such massive MIMO systems are particularly considered in 5G and subsequent communication systems.
  • GoBs are widely used in industry for control channels and/or data channels.
  • the beams of a GoB are not adaptive, that is to say they are not specifically optimized to exchange data with a specific user terminal, but rather to serve specific geographical areas within the cell.
  • adaptive beams in particular for data channels (using for example techniques known as “eigen-based beamforming” in the Anglo-Saxon literature).
  • the performance and quality of service indicators (“Quality of Service”, QoS in the Anglo-Saxon literature) can be defined with a greater resolution, on the scale of the beam .
  • load which is a central indicator for wireless access networks, can be defined per beam.
  • the 3GPP TS 38.423 V17.1.0 technical specification defines a function for estimating the load of a beam of interest, which corresponds to a ratio between the number of physical resource blocks (“Physical Resource Block”, PRB in the 3GPP specifications) used by the beam b of interest and the number of PRBs used by all the beams included in the cell:
  • Physical Resource Block Physical Resource Block
  • B corresponds to the number of beams (for example of a GoB),
  • L corresponds to the number of successive time intervals (“slots” or “mini-slots” in 3GPP specifications) considered to estimate the load of beam b of interest
  • this estimation function is based on the use of communication resources (PRB) in the beam of interest, and the communication resources are actually used only when the beam of interest is activated (scheduled).
  • PRB communication resources
  • the usable communication resources (PRB) are allocated to the entire cell. Consequently, the beam of interest may very well be rarely activated even though it has a lot of traffic to flow, because the other beams in the cell also have a lot of traffic to flow using the same communication resources.
  • Figure 1 schematically represents scenarios illustrating the lack of robustness of the estimation function given by the expression [Math. 1]

  • the load estimated using the expression [Math. 1 ] for beam 13-4 is high.
  • the traffic to be passed through beam 13-4 is unchanged, but the traffic to be passed in the other beams has increased. With the expression [Math.
  • the load estimated for the beam 13-4 for part b) of Figure 1 is lower than that estimated for part a) of Figure 1, due to the fact that the beam 13-4 is activated less frequently (at due to the increase in traffic having to be carried in the other beams 13-1 to 13-3, 13-5 to 13-7), even though the traffic having to be carried by beam 13-4 has not decreased and that the increase in traffic to be carried by the other beams 13-1 to 13-3, 13-5 to 13-7 prevents beam 13-4 from being activated more frequently.
