Therefore, in embodiments of the present invention, for example, under the situation that the beam direction of carrier wave 2 has set in advance, the beam direction of carrier wave 1 can only be set; Under the situation that the beam direction of carrier wave 1 has set in advance, the beam direction of carrier wave 2 can only be set; The beam direction of carrier wave 1 and carrier wave 2 also can be set in the lump.

Here, need to prove, in embodiments of the present invention, under the situation of using antenna system (AAS, Adaptive Antenna System) transmitting-receiving carrier wave, can adopt method to set up among the AAS that the beam direction of carrier wave is set.Using different antennas to receive and dispatch under the situation of different carrier waves, mechanical angle or the electric hue angle (angle on the vertical direction) of antenna can be set, with the beam direction (the strongest energy position) that carrier wave is set.

And, in embodiments of the present invention, the beam direction that can carrier wave 1 and/or carrier wave 2 independently be set by base station A (namely, situation 1), also can be by the control centre in the multi-carrier communications systems (for example, operation maintenance center) determines the carrier wave 1 of each base station in the system (comprising base station A) and/or the beam direction of carrier wave 2, notify each base station to be configured (that is, situation 2) then.

Situation 1

For example, as shown in Figure 3, the beam direction of carrier wave 1 that base station equipment A uses and/or carrier wave 2 can be set and make the angle of declination α of carrier wave 1 ₁The angle of declination β of (first angle of declination) and carrier wave 2 ₁(second angle of declination) is different (for example, to make the angle of declination α of carrier wave 1 ₁Angle of declination β less than carrier wave 2 ₁), thereby, make from the coverage of the carrier wave 1 of base station equipment A less than the coverage from the carrier wave 2 of base station equipment A.In addition, as shown in Figure 3, the beam direction of carrier wave 1 that base station equipment B uses and carrier wave 2 can be set and make the angle of declination α of carrier wave 1 ₂The angle of declination β of (the 3rd angle of declination) and carrier wave 2 ₂(the 4th angle of declination) is identical, thereby, make from the coverage of the carrier wave 1 of base station equipment B identical with coverage from the carrier wave 2 of base station equipment B.For example, Fig. 3 show from the coverage of the carrier wave 2 of base station equipment B with from the overlapping execution mode of the coverage of the carrier wave 2 of base station equipment A.And, in embodiments of the present invention, it is overlapping with the coverage from the carrier wave 2 of base station equipment A to adopt method same as the prior art to make from the coverage of the carrier wave 2 of base station equipment B, thus the continuous covering that realizes the zone between base station equipment A and the base station equipment B at carrier wave 2.Below, omit the explanation to same or similar situation.

If will be from the coverage of the carrier wave 2 of base station equipment A with from the borderline region of the coverage of the carrier wave 2 of base station equipment B (in other words, overlapping region) note is made regional a, will with from the coverage of the carrier wave 1 of base station equipment A with make regional b from the zone note beyond the coverage of the carrier wave 1 of base station equipment B, then at regional a, because the interference from the carrier wave 1 of base station equipment A is less, therefore be better than signal quality from the carrier wave 2 of base station equipment B from the signal quality of the carrier wave 1 of base station equipment B, therefore, subscriber equipment can select carrier wave 1 to insert.At regional b, can cover from the carrier wave 2 of base station equipment A, therefore, subscriber equipment can select carrier wave 2 to insert.

Should understand, the set-up mode of the carrier beams of more than enumerating only is exemplary illustration, the present invention is not limited thereto, for example, also can adopt make from the coverage of the carrier wave 1 of base station equipment B with from the overlapping execution mode of the coverage of the carrier wave 1 of base station equipment A, thereby the continuous covering that realizes the zone between base station equipment A and the base station equipment B at carrier wave 1.

Alternatively, in embodiments of the present invention, the 3rd angle of declination and the 4th angle of declination are different, wherein, the 3rd angle of declination is the beam direction angle of inclination in vertical direction of the first carrier of this second base station equipment use, and the 4th angle of declination is the beam direction angle of inclination in vertical direction of this second carrier wave of this second base station equipment use.

Specifically, for example, as shown in Figure 4, the beam direction of carrier wave 1 that base station equipment A uses and/or carrier wave 2 can be set and make the angle of declination α ' of carrier wave 1 ₁The angle of declination β ' of (first angle of declination) and carrier wave 2 ₁(second angle of declination) is different (for example, to make the angle of declination α ' of carrier wave 1 ₁Angle of declination β ' less than carrier wave 2 ₁), thereby, make from the coverage of the carrier wave 1 of base station equipment A less than the coverage from the carrier wave 2 of base station equipment A.

In addition, as shown in Figure 4, the beam direction of carrier wave 1 that base station equipment B uses and carrier wave 2 can be set and make the angle of declination α ' of carrier wave 1 ₂The angle of declination β ' of (the 3rd angle of declination) and carrier wave 2 ₂(the 4th angle of declination) is different (for example, to make the angle of declination α ' of carrier wave 1 ₂Angle of declination β ' greater than carrier wave 2 ₂), thereby, make from the coverage of the carrier wave 1 of base station equipment B greater than the coverage from the carrier wave 2 of base station equipment B.

For example, Fig. 4 show from the coverage of the carrier wave 2 of base station equipment B with from the overlapping execution mode of the coverage of the carrier wave 2 of base station equipment A, thereby the continuous covering that realizes the zone between base station equipment A and the base station equipment B at carrier wave 2.And, Fig. 4 show from the coverage of the carrier wave 1 of base station equipment B with from the overlapping execution mode of the coverage of the carrier wave 1 of base station equipment A, thereby the continuous covering that realizes the zone between base station equipment A and the base station equipment B at carrier wave 1.

If will be from the coverage of the carrier wave 1 of base station equipment A with from the borderline region of the coverage of the carrier wave 1 of base station equipment B (in other words, overlapping region) note is made regional c, will with make regional d from the coverage of the carrier wave 2 of base station equipment A and the borderline region note from the coverage of the carrier wave 2 of base station equipment B, then the position of regional c and regional d is different.Thereby, at regional c, because the interfering energy from the carrier wave 2 of base station equipment B weak (away from the radiation center point of the carrier wave 2 of base station B), and from the useful signal energy of the carrier wave 2 of base station equipment A strong (the radiation center point of the carrier wave 2 of more close base station A), therefore be better than the signal quality of carrier wave 1 from the signal quality of the carrier wave 2 of base station equipment A, subscriber equipment can select carrier wave 2 to insert.In like manner, at regional d, the signal quality of carrier wave 1 is better than the signal quality of carrier wave 2, and subscriber equipment can select carrier wave 1 to insert.

Again for example, as shown in Figure 5, the beam direction of carrier wave 1 that base station equipment A uses and/or carrier wave 2 can be set and make the angle of declination α of carrier wave 1 " ₁The angle of declination β of (first angle of declination) and carrier wave 2 " ₁(second angle of declination) different (for example, make the angle of declination α of carrier wave 1 " ₁Angle of declination β less than carrier wave 2 " ₁), thereby, make from the coverage of the carrier wave 1 of base station equipment A less than the coverage from the carrier wave 2 of base station equipment A.

In addition, as shown in Figure 5, the beam direction of carrier wave 1 that base station equipment B uses and carrier wave 2 can be set and make the angle of declination α of carrier wave 1 " ₂The angle of declination β of (the 3rd angle of declination) and carrier wave 2 " ₂(the 4th angle of declination) different (for example, make the angle of declination α of carrier wave 1 " ₂Angle of declination β less than carrier wave 2 " ₂), thereby, make from the coverage of the carrier wave 1 of base station equipment B less than the coverage from the carrier wave 2 of base station equipment B.

For example, Fig. 5 show from the coverage of the carrier wave 2 of base station equipment B with from the overlapping execution mode of the coverage of the carrier wave 2 of base station equipment A, thereby the continuous covering that realizes the zone between base station equipment A and the base station equipment B at carrier wave 2.

If will from the coverage of the carrier wave 1 of base station equipment A with make regional e from the zone note beyond the coverage of the carrier wave 1 of base station equipment B, will with make regional f from the coverage of the carrier wave 2 of base station equipment A and borderline region (the overlapping region in other words) note from the coverage of the carrier wave 2 of base station equipment B.Then at regional e, because be better than the signal quality of carrier wave 1 from the signal quality of the carrier wave 2 of base station equipment A or base station equipment B, subscriber equipment can select carrier wave 2 to insert.

Alternatively, the first carrier at least two carrier waves being identified for communicating by letter of first base station equipment in this multi-carrier communications systems and/or the beam direction of second carrier wave comprise:

First base station equipment in the multi-carrier communications systems is determined the beam direction of this first carrier and/or this second carrier wave according to this position of at least one subscriber equipment in this multi-carrier communications systems.

Specifically, for example, adopting as shown in Figure 5 under the situation, because the angle of declination of carrier wave 1 is less than the angle of declination of carrier wave 2, therefore, in the coverage of carrier wave 1, the signal strength signal intensity of carrier wave 1 is better than the signal strength signal intensity of carrier wave 2, therefore, is in the interior subscriber equipment of coverage of carrier wave 1 and carrier wave 2 simultaneously, can select carrier wave 1 to insert, thereby for the outer subscriber equipment of the coverage that is positioned at carrier wave 1, the capacity of the carrier wave 2 that can use improves (namely, 1 pair of carrier wave of carrier wave 2 is realized shunting), experience thereby can further improve the user.Therefore, in embodiments of the present invention, can determine the distributing position of subscriber equipment in the system, and, can be according to the distributing position of subscriber equipment in the system, determine the coverage of carrier wave 1 and carrier wave 2, for example, can make the comparatively concentrated zone of covering subscriber equipment of carrier wave 1, make the coverage of carrier wave 2 greater than the coverage of carrier wave 1, because the signal strength signal intensity of carrier wave 1 is better than the signal strength signal intensity of carrier wave 2, therefore the subscriber equipment that concentrates in the overlay area of carrier wave 1 can be selected carrier wave 1 access, for the outer subscriber equipment of the coverage that is positioned at carrier wave 1, the capacity of the carrier wave 2 that can use improves, and experiences thereby can further improve the user.

Alternatively, in embodiments of the present invention, this method also comprises:

Specifically, after base station equipment A finishes beam direction to carrier wave 1 and carrier wave 2 and arranges, the information (example of the 3rd configuration information) that is used to indicate its set-up mode can be sent to base station equipment B, thereby, base station equipment B can be known the angle of declination of each carrier wave that base station equipment A is set, thereby, base station equipment B can arrange the beam direction of each carrier wave according to this information, for example, if from the coverage of the carrier wave 1 of base station equipment A less than the coverage from the carrier wave 2 of base station equipment A, then base station equipment B can be the angle of declination of carrier wave 1 greater than the angle of declination of carrier wave 2 so that from the coverage of the carrier wave 1 of base station equipment B greater than the coverage from the carrier wave 2 of base station equipment A.

Alternatively, in embodiments of the present invention, the 3rd configuration information also is used to indicate described first angle of declination and/or described second angle of declination.

Specifically, the beam direction of the carrier wave 1 that base station equipment B can arrange according to base station equipment A arranges the beam direction of carrier wave 1, so that it is overlapping with the coverage from the carrier wave 1 of base station equipment A from the coverage of the carrier wave 1 of base station equipment B, and/or the beam direction of the base station equipment B carrier wave 2 that can arrange according to base station equipment A arranges the beam direction of carrier wave 2, so that overlapping with the coverage from the carrier wave 2 of base station equipment A from the coverage of the carrier wave 2 of base station equipment B, thus the continuous covering that realizes the zone between base station equipment A and the base station equipment B at carrier wave 2.
