Communication processing method and base station

A base station having a plurality of sectors, comprising:

• a receiving module configured to receive channel state information corresponding to all or a part of spare coordinated groups from each of user devices, a first group including a plurality of coordinated groups arranged in advance, each of the coordinated groups being formed of two or more sectors, and the spare coordinated groups corresponding to each of the user devices being selected from the first group and including at least a service sector of best channel quality obtained by measurement of the user device,
• wherein the spare coordinated group for each user device includes all of the coordinated groups that contain the service sector of best channel quality;
• a user device group specifying module configured to specify a user device group corresponding to each of coordinated groups included in each of coordinated group patterns, the user device group corresponding to the coordinated group including user devices of which the corresponding spare coordinated groups include the coordinated group;
• a scheduling module configured to perform user scheduling on each of the coordinated groups based on channel state information reported by the user devices of the user device group corresponding to the coordinated group;
• a communication processing module configured to specify a user device and a coordinated group pattern to use in transmission based on scheduling results of the coordinated groups and perform data transmission based on the specified user device and the specified coordinated group pattern;
• a first antenna specifying module configured to obtain an index of the service sector reported from each of the user devices;
• and
• a first spare coordinated group processing module configured to select for the user device the spare coordinated groups including the service sector from the coordinated groups arranged in advance and reporting the spare coordinated groups to the user device,
• wherein when physical sector indexes of the sectors are different from each other an index of the service sector is indicated by a physical sector index and when the physical sector indexes of the sectors are same as each other, the index of the service sector is indicated by an antenna index.

A communication processing method for performing communication between a base station having a plurality of sectors and user devices, the communication processing method comprising:

• each of the user devices measuring signal quality of signals received from the respective sectors;
• each of the user devices specifying a service sector of best channel quality based on measurement results and reporting an index of the service sector to the base station;
• the base station selecting, for each of the user devices, spare coordinated groups from a first group and reporting the spare coordinated groups to the corresponding user device, the first group including a plurality of coordinated groups arranged in advance, each of the coordinated groups being formed of two or more sectors, and the spare coordinated groups corresponding to each of the user devices including at least the service sector of the user device,
• wherein the spare coordinated group for each user device includes all of the coordinated groups that contain the service sector of best channel quality;
• the base station receiving channel state information corresponding to all or a part of the spare coordinated groups from each of the user devices;
• the base station specifying a user device group corresponding to each of coordinated groups included in each of coordinated group patterns, the user device group corresponding to the coordinated group including user devices of which the corresponding spare coordinated groups include the coordinated group;
• the base station performing user scheduling on each of the coordinated groups based on channel state information reported by the user devices of the user device group corresponding to the coordinated group;
• and
• the base station specifying a user device and a coordinated group pattern to use in transmission based on scheduling results of the coordinated groups, and then performing data transmission based on the specified user device and the specified coordinated group pattern,
• wherein when physical sector indexes of the sectors are different from each other, the index of the service sector is indicated by a physical sector index and when the physical sector indexes of the sectors are same as each other, the index of the service sector is indicated by an antenna index.

• each of the user devices measuring signal quality of signals received from the respective sectors;
• each of the user devices specifying a service sector of best channel quality based on measurement results;
• each of the user devices selecting, for itself, spare coordinated groups from a pre-stored first group, the first group including a plurality of coordinated groups arranged in advance, each of the coordinated groups being formed of two or more sectors, and the spare coordinated groups corresponding to each of the user devices including at least the service sector of the user device,
• wherein the spare coordinated group for each user device includes all of the coordinated groups that contain the service sector of best channel quality;
• the base station receiving channel state information corresponding to all or a part of the spare coordinated groups from each of the user devices;
