- a micro base station eg, femto base station, pico base station
- inter-cell interference is more problematic because macro and micro cells overlap.
- the downlink signal of the HeNB may act as interference to the MUE
- the downlink signal of the MeNB may act as interference to the HUE.
- the uplink signal of the MUE may act as interference to the HeNB, and the uplink signal of the HUE may act as interference to the MeNG.
- the HeNB may serve only a specific HUE and the other UE may be a closed subscriber group (CSG) that cannot be connected. In this case, even if the MUE is located close to the HeNB, the HeNB cannot connect to the HeNB. Therefore, the transmission signal of the HeNB may cause strong interference to the MUE. Acts as. As a result, the MUE will suffer from receiving signals from the MeNB.
- a method for eliminating interference between cells a method in which the HeNB reduces transmission power or stops transmission at a specific time point and the MeNB transmits a signal to the MUE without interference from the HeNB at that time point is used.
- This method is effective for interference mitigation in the PSS and SSS that the terminal uses to acquire time synchronization. Since PSS / SSS transmits a specific sequence determined by the cell ID repeatedly every radio frame, if the MeNB's PSS / SSS collides with the HeNB's PSS / SSS, the PSS / SSS measurement value accumulates for a long time. This is because the accumulation of PSS / SSS quality does not improve.
- the HeNB does not transmit its PSS / SSS in some radio frames to protect the PSS / SSS of the MeNB.
- the HeNB does not transmit the PSS / SSS in the first 10 radio frames but repeats the operation of transmitting the PSS / SSS in the subsequent 10 radio frames.
- This operation can be very helpful for the synchronization of the MUE, but can be an obstacle to the synchronization of the HUE.
- some HUEs may attempt to synchronize in a region in which the HeNB does not transmit PSS / SSS, and as a result, may perform an improper operation such as finding another cell because the HeNB cannot acquire synchronization.
- the HUE may be connected to the MeNB as success "in the PSS / SSS detection of the MeNB, MeNB to the HeNB may move the HUE again for the purpose of load balancing.
- the HUE may try to detect the HeNB PSS / SSS again according to the handover process and may be connected to the HeNB when the synchronization is acquired.
- the HUE may perform an unnecessary handover process, a service delay from the HeNB, and a waste of resources due to the handover may occur.
- the present invention is to reduce the inter-cell interference If the side cell performs an action to reduce the transmission power for some or all downlink channels / signals (including setting the transmission power to 0) for a period of time to mitigate interference to neighboring cells, We propose a process for effectively detecting signals. Specifically, the present invention proposes that the UE recognizes and utilizes the PSS / SSS transmission pattern of the HeNB in the process of obtaining synchronization of the HeNB. For example, HeNB transmits PSS / SSS for a certain time (e.g. T1 radio frames) (T1: positive integer), followed by a certain time (e.g.
- T2 radio frames (T2: positive integer) ) Repeats the operation of not transmitting the PSS / SSS, and the UE may acquire synchronization of the HeNB using the HeNB PSS / SSS transmission pattern.
- the T1 value may mean the minimum number or the maximum number, preferably the minimum number of radio frames in which the HeNB PSS / SSS is continuously transmitted.
- the T2 value may mean a minimum number or a maximum number, preferably a maximum number of radio frames in which the HeNB PSS / SSS is not continuously transmitted. For example, if the HeNB starts transmitting the PSS / SSS, the PSS / SSS transmission may continue for at least T1 radio frames.
- the HeNB may not transmit the PSS / SSS for up to T2 radio frames, and the PSS / SSS may be transmitted after the T2 radio frames have passed.
- the UE eg, the HUE
- the UE may recognize the HeNB PSS / SSS transmission pattern and operate as follows. First, it is assumed that the UE has failed to detect HeNB PSS / SSS at a specific time point. In this case, instead of determining that the HeNB cell does not exist, the UE assumes that there may be a HeNB PSS / SSS transmission before a maximum T2 + a (a is 0 or more, preferably 1 or more) radio frame. Can be.
- the UE may continue to attempt HeNB PSS / SSS detection for at least a T2 + a radio frame.
- the terminal is HeNB Even if the acquisition of synchronization fails at a specific time when the PSS / SSS is not transmitted, the process of searching for another cell can be avoided.
- FIG 9 illustrates a synchronization acquisition process according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- a UE (eg, a HUE) attempts downlink synchronization for a HeNB for the first time in radio frame # 5, but fails because there is no HeNB PSS / SSS transmission in the radio frame.
- HeNB PSS / SSS detection may be attempted during an uplink radio frame.
- the terminal may detect HeNB PSS / SSS transmitted in radio frame # 10.
- the UE may determine that synchronization of the HeNBsal cannot be obtained.
- the figure illustrates a case in which the UE additionally attempts HeNB PSS / SSS detection in one radio frame after T2 radio frames pass, but a may be variously set. For example, after T2 radio frames have elapsed, the UE may additionally attempt to detect HeNB PSS / SSS for up to T1 radio frames, i.e., 01 ⁇ a ⁇ Tl, preferably l ⁇ a ⁇ Tl. Can be set.
- T1 radio frames i.e., 01 ⁇ a ⁇ Tl, preferably l ⁇ a ⁇ Tl.
- the information proposed in the present invention can also be used to acquire the synchronization of the MeNB in the presence of the HeNB using the PSS / SSS transmission pattern.
- the HeNB transmits a PSS / SSS to cause interference with the MeNB PSS / SSS, whereby the UE detects the MeNB PSS / SSS and acquires the synchronization. May fail.
- the terminal accesses the corresponding MeNB.
- the MeNB PSS / SSS detection fails-The UE is a certain time (e.g., T1 radio frame when the maximum value of the radio frame in which the HeNB continuously transmits the PSS / SSS is T1 radio frame)
- the synchronization for the MeNB is continued for a period of time after T1 radio frames (for example, T2 radio frames when the minimum value of radio frames in which the HeNB does not continuously transmit PSS / SSS is T2 radio frames). It may take actions such as retrying synchronization for the MeNB.

- the UE may attempt to detect while continuing to monitor the HeNB SCH during the T2 + a radio frame (S1006b). That is, when HeNB SCH detection fails, it is assumed that the UE may have HeNB SCH transmission in at least a T2 + a radio frame instead of assuming that there is no HeNB. In this case, attempts to detect MeNB SCHs in the monitoring process may be limited.

Such information may be delivered to the terminal through system information or higher layer signaling (eg, RRC signaling).
- the process of FIG. 10 may be performed when the terminal prefers to access the HeNB over the MeNB. In this case, the detection attempt for the MeNB SCH may be limited in steps other than step S10Ob.
- the UE attempts SCH detection of the MeNB for synchronization acquisition (S1102). If the MeNB SCH is detected successfully (S1104), the UE downlinks the MeNB It is possible to obtain the synchronization and recognize the PCID of the MeNB therefrom (S1106a). On the other hand, if the MeNB SCH detection fails (S1104), the UE can try to detect while continuing to monitor the MeNB SCH during the Tl + b radio frame (S1106b). That is, if the MeNB SCH detection fails, the terminal is MeNB It can be assumed that the SCH detection failure is caused by the interference of another cell (eg, HeNB), and the interference to other cells is relaxed at least within the Tl + b radio frame.
- another cell eg, HeNB
