Method, apparatus and system for sharing a subchannel

A method for sharing a subchannel, comprising:

• scheduling a subchannel according to state information of the subchannel, and sending a scheduling command to an uplink Mobile Station (MS) or a downlink MS;
• measuring uplink or downlink interference suffered;
• and
• sending power control information to another scheduling unit if the uplink or downlink interference is greater than a preset threshold;
• wherein scheduling the subchannel according to the state information of the subchannel comprises one or more processes of:
• a process of:
• using, by an uplink scheduling unit, channel quality and interference in uplink state information as input, selecting a subchannel with the greatest channel quality and least interference and an uplink MS corresponding to the subchannel as a combination, and allocating the subchannel in this combination to the uplink MS in this combination;
• and
• a process of:
• using, by a downlink scheduling unit, channel quality and interference in downlink state information as input, selecting a subchannel with the greatest channel quality and least interference and a downlink MS corresponding to the subchannel as a combination, and allocating the subchannel in this combination to the downlink MS in this combination.

An apparatus for sharing an uplink spectrum, comprising:

• an obtaining module, configured to obtain downlink state information and uplink state information of a subchannel;
• and
• a scheduling module, configured to schedule the subchannel according to the downlink state information and uplink state information of the subchannel, and allocate the subchannel to an uplink Mobile Station (MS) and/or a downlink MS;
• wherein the scheduling module comprises one or more modules of:
• a first scheduling submodule, configured to calculate a sum of uplink traffic of the uplink MS corresponding to the subchannel and downlink traffic of the downlink MS corresponding to the subchannel according to channel quality and interference information in the uplink state information and downlink state information of the subchannel;
• select a subchannel with the greatest sum of traffic and find the corresponding uplink MS and downlink MS, and allocate the selected subchannel to the corresponding uplink MS and downlink MS;
• and
• a second scheduling submodule, configured to:
• use channel quality and interference in the uplink state information as input, calculate a ratio of channel quality to interference for each subchannel, select a subchannel with the greatest ratio and an uplink MS corresponding to the subchannel as a combination;
• use channel quality and interference in the uplink state information as input, calculate a ratio of channel quality to interference for each subchannel, select a subchannel with the smallest ratio and a downlink MS corresponding to the subchannel as a combination;
• compare the two ratios to find the combination with the greater ratio, and allocate the subchannel in the combination with the greater ratio to the corresponding uplink MS or downlink MS.

An apparatus for sharing an uplink spectrum, comprising:

• a channel scheduling module, configured to schedule a subchannel according to state information of the subchannel;
• a scheduling command sending module, configured to send a scheduling command to an uplink Mobile Station (MS) or a downlink MS;
• a measuring module, configured to measure uplink or downlink interference suffered;
• a comparing module, configured to compare the uplink or downlink interference measured by the measuring module with a preset threshold, and trigger an information sending module if the uplink or downlink interference is greater than the preset threshold;
• and
• the information sending module, configured to send power control information to another scheduling unit;
• wherein one or more of following is met:
• when the channel scheduling module is located in an uplink scheduling unit, the channel scheduling module is configured to use channel quality and interference in the uplink state information as input, select a subchannel with the greatest channel quality and least interference and an uplink MS corresponding to the subchannel as a combination, and allocate the subchannel in this combination to the uplink MS in this combination;
• and
• when the channel scheduling module is located in a downlink scheduling unit, the channel scheduling module is configured to use channel quality and interference in the downlink state information as input, select a subchannel with the greatest channel quality and least interference and a downlink MS corresponding to the subchannel as a combination, and allocate the subchannel in this combination to the downlink MS in this combination.
