【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、携帯電話機や携帯情報通信端末などの移動体通信機を用いた無線通信サービスに用いられる無線局システムに関し、特に、高品質な信号増幅を実現することができる無線局システムに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
携帯電話機やモバイルツール(携帯情報通信端末)などの移動体通信システムでは、公衆回線網などの上位回線網に接続される局装置と移動体通信機とを無線接続して、移動体通信機が上位回線網を通して通信することを可能にしている。
このような移動体通信システムでは、移動体通信機が屋外などの無線電波が届き易い場所に存するときには局装置と良好な無線通信を行うことができるが、移動体通信機がトンネル内や地下街内などの無線電波の届き難い不感区域に存するときには外部の局装置と良好な無線通信を行うことができない。
【0003】
このような問題に対して、図5に示すように、上位回線網に接続される基地局装置51に中継局的な下位局装置52(親局とも称せられる。)をケーブル53で接続し、この親局装置52に端末局装置54(子局とも称せられる。)をケーブル55で接続し、この子局装置54を不感区域に設置して、不感区域に存する移動体通信機56と子局装置54の間で無線通信することにより、移動体通信機56と上位回線網との通信を可能にする工夫がなされている。
そして、更に、例えば携帯電話無線通信に用いられる800MHzや1.5GHz帯といった高周波信号を効率良く伝送する必要があることから、親局装置52と子局装置54との接続にメタルケーブルに代わって軽量且つ柔軟で低損失な光ファイバケーブル55を用る工夫もなされていた(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。
【0004】
ここで、情報通信の発展に伴って無線通信サービスにはより高速なデータ通信が要求されており、新しい方式での無線通信サービスも急速に展開されている。このため、従来方式の無線通信サービスも残存させながら、高速通信を可能にする新しい方式での無線通信サービスも導入されて実用されている。
【0005】
【特許文献1】
特開2000―324044号公報
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
このように、例えば高速通信のために従来より高周波数帯域での無線通信を行う新方式の無線通信サービスを行うためには、子局装置を含む無線局システムをこれに対応させなければならない。しかしながら、他の機器との無線干渉を避けるなどの必要もあって、新たに子局装置の設置場所を確保することは容易ではないという課題があった。
【0007】
更に、局装置は通信する信号の増幅処理を行うが、1つの装置で複数の周波数信号を共通して増幅する場合、出力レベルが高いほど増幅による歪が顕著になって通信品質を著しく低下させてしまう。この対策としては、高価な増幅器を多段に接続するなどが考えられるが、設備コストの増大ばかりか、消費電力の増大による運用コストの増大を招いてしまうという課題があった。
また、周波数帯域の異なる複数の信号を共通増幅すると、出力レベルが統一されて通信サービスエリアの広さが同じになるが、実際上は周波数帯域の異なる複数のサービスはそのエリアも異ならせる必要があり、これら通信サービスエリアを構築する上で障害となっていた。
【0008】
そして、図5に示したように不感区域対策のために子局装置54を設置するシステム構成にあっては、周波数帯域の異なるサービスが増加したからと言って、ビル内やトンネル内の限られた場所で新たな局装置を設置する場所を確保することは非常に困難であり、また、親局装置52と子局装置54とを接続する光ファイバケーブル55についても信号伝送容量の限界やケーブルの敷設スペース確保の困難性といった問題がある。
【0009】
なお、図5に示したように親局装置52と子局装置54とを光ファイバケーブル55で接続するシステムの場合、光ファイバ伝送を行うための電気/光変換(E/O変換)と光/電気変換(O/E変換)によって信号レベルが低くなるため、この光ファイバ伝送部分で共通増幅をすることにより、高レベル出力の複数周波数帯のシステムにあっても低歪の信号増幅を行うことができる。しかしながら、このような方法を採用したとしても、それぞれの無線通信サービスに応じたエリア形成の問題があり、例えば、それぞれの無線通信サービスで同じ大きさのエリアを形成しようとした場合に、周波数に応じた空間伝搬損失の違いがあるので、共通増幅では所期のエリアを形成できないといった課題がある。
【0010】
本発明は上記従来の事情に鑑みなされたもので、複数の周波数帯域の無線通信サービス実現する場合でも、このようなサービスを高品位且つ柔軟な構成にて実現することができる無線局システムを提供することを目的としている。
なお、本発明の更なる目的は以下の説明において明らかなところである。
【0011】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、移動体通信機に提供する無線通信サービスの周波数帯域で分けた1つ又は複数の無線信号処理部を有する無線局装置と、無線局装置とアンテナとの間に接続されて無線信号処理部が処理する無線信号を増幅する1つ又は複数の増幅器とを備えた無線局システムである。
例えば、図5に示したシステムに照らせば、子局装置に1又は複数の無線通信サービスの周波数帯域で分けた1つ又は複数の無線信号処理部を設け、移動体通信機と無線通信するためのアンテナと当該子局装置との間に無線信号処理部に対応して無線信号を増幅する1つ又は複数の増幅器を設けた無線局システムである。
【0012】
したがって、実施する無線通信サービスに対応して必要な無線信号処理部を無線局装置(子局装置)に設け、それに増幅器を設けることにより、新たな無線局装置を設置することなく、また、歪を生じさせる共通増幅を行うことなく、高品質な無線通信サービスを実現することができる。
なお、増幅器は必要に応じて設ければよいので、これに対応する無線局装置の無線信号処理部をそれぞれ基板単位で構成するなどしてユニット化して、当該ユニットを必要に応じて局装置に対して着脱できるようにするのが好ましい。
【0013】
ここで、本発明は、不感区域対策などのように無線局装置の設置場所が限られるシステムに特に有効であるので、上位の局装置(親局装置)と光ファイバケーブルで接続されて、移動体通信機との無線通信を担う端末の局装置(子局装置)に適用するのが好ましいが、一般的に移動体通信機との無線通信を担う端末局装置に適用してもよく、これによっても、無線通信サービスの変更に柔軟に対応して高品質なサービスを提供できる。
【0014】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明を実施例に基づいて具体的に説明する。
図1には、本発明の一実施例に係る無線局システムの主要な構成を示してある。
図示のシステムは、上位回線網に接続される基地局装置1に中継局的な親局装置2をメタルケーブル3で接続し、この親局装置2に子局装置4を光ファイバケーブル5で接続し、この子局装置4に必要に応じた1又は複数(本例では3つ)の送受信増幅器6をそれぞれメタルケーブル7で接続し、これら送受信増幅器6にそれぞれアンテナ8を接続した構成である。
【0015】
不感区域対策のシステムである場合には、子局装置4が不感区域に設置されて当該不感区域を移動体通信機9との通信可能エリアとするための端末局である。また、送受信増幅器6は従来では子局装置4に備えられていた増幅機能を分離させた装置であり、不感区域の必要な場所に設置されて無線通信の周波数帯域の拡張などと言った通信サービスの変更に柔軟に対応できるようにするものである。
すなわち、本例では、子局装置4と送受信増幅器6とにより本発明に係る無線局装置が構成されている。
【0016】
親局装置2は、上位回線網からの回線周波数信号を変調器(TX)21で所定の周波数信号(例えば、中間周波数信号)に変調し、この信号を電気―光変換器(E/O)22で光信号に変換して光ファイバケーブル5を通して子局装置4へ伝送する。
また、親局装置2は、光ファイバケーブル5を通して子局装置4から伝送される光信号を光―電気変換器(O/E)23で電気信号に変換し、この電気信号を復調器(RX)24で回線周波数信号に復調して上位回線網へ伝送する。
【0017】
子局装置4は、光ファイバケーブル5を通して親局装置2から伝送される光信号を光―電気変換器(O/E)41で電気信号に変換し、この電気信号を変調器(TX)42で所定の無線周波数(RF)の信号に復調してケーブル7を通して所定の送受信増幅器6へ伝送する。
また、子局装置4は、ケーブル7を通して送受信増幅器6から伝送されるRF電気信号を復調器(RX)43で所定の周波数信号(例えば、中間周波数信号)に変調し、この電気信号を電気―光変換器(E/O)44で光信号に変換して光ファイバケーブル5を通して親局装置2へ伝送する。
【0018】
本例の子局装置4には、O/E41、TX42、RX43、及び、E/O44は1つに基板上に設けたユニットとして構成されており、3つの送受信増幅器6に対応してこのような3つのユニットU1、U2、U3が備えられている。これらユニットU1、U2、U3は子局装置4に係止具やネジ止めなどによって着脱可能に設けられており、送受信増幅器6の増設や廃止に応じて子局装置4に備えるユニットも容易に増設や廃止することができるようになっている。
なお、本例では、3つのユニットU1、U2、U3と、それらにそれぞれ対応する3つの送受信増幅器6を設けているが、ユニット及び送受信増幅器6は必要に応じて1つ以上を任意に設定することができる。
【0019】
また、子局装置4には、各ユニットU1、U2、U3に対する光信号や電気信号のインタフェースとして機能する分岐合成器45と電気信号インタフェース(I/F)46が設けられている。
分岐合成器45は、光ファイバケーブル5からの光信号を分岐して各ユニットのO/E41へ出力し、また、各ユニットのE/O44からの光信号を合成して光ファイバケーブル5へ出力する機能を有しており、各ユニットU1、U2、U3と着脱可能に光接続する接続部を有している。
【0020】
I/F46は、各ユニットのTX42からのRF電気信号を対応する送受信増幅器6のケーブル7へ出力し、また、各送受信増幅器6からのRF電気信号をケーブル7から受信して対応するユニットのRX43へ出力する機能を有しており、各ユニットU1、U2、U3と着脱可能に電気接続する接続部を有している。
なお、本例では、光電変換部(O/E41及びE/O44)と無線信号処理部(TX42及びRX43)とを一体的にユニット化しているが、少なくともこれら機能部のいずれか一方を子局装置4に対して着脱可能として、送受信増幅器6の増設や廃止に柔軟に対応できるようにすればよい。
【0021】
上記のシステムによると、上位回線網からの信号は基地局1から親局装置2へ伝送され、更に光ファイバケーブル5により子局装置4へ光伝送されて、子局装置4により所定の周波数帯域を担当する送受信増幅器6へ伝送される。そして、当該伝送されたRF信号は送受信増幅器6により所定の増幅がなされてアンテナ8から出力され、移動体通信機9により受信される。
また、アンテナ8で受信した移動体通信機9からのRF信号は送受信増幅器6により所定の増幅がなされて子局装置4へ伝送される。そして、当該伝送されたRF信号は子局装置4から光ファイバケーブル5により親局装置2へ光伝送されて、更に親局装置2から基地局1を介して上位回線網へ伝送される。
【0022】
したがって、RF無線信号の増幅は周波数帯域やサービス毎に担当する対応する送受信増幅器6によりそろぞれなされるため、増幅周波数が或る帯域に限定されるので、高出力レベルの増幅にあっても歪を抑制して通信品質を良好なものに維持することができる。
【0023】
更に、子局装置4のユニットを着脱し、送受信増幅器6を設置又は廃止するだけで、無線通信する周波数帯域や通信サービスの拡張や廃止に容易に対応することができる。そして更には、周波数帯域に応じたアンテナ8の設置を自由に行うことができる、また、送受信増幅器6の設置位置を設定するだけで周波数帯域毎のエリア設計に応じた構成とすることができる、また、このような拡張に対しても光ファイバケーブル5を増設する必要をなくすことができるなどと言ったように、システム構成を必要に応じて後から柔軟に変更することができ、設備投資を段階的に行うことができるようになる。
【0024】
図2には、上記システムの変形例を示してある。
なお、図1に示すシステムと同様な部分には同一符号を付して重複する説明は省略する。
このシステム例は、親局装置2と子局装置4との間に中継局装置10を介在させて、中継局装置5により複数の子局装置4を分岐して接続させて、親局装置2を中心として複数の子局装置4を環状に分散配置させたものである。
【0025】
親局装置2と各中継局装置10との間は光ファイバケーブル11で接続され、中継局装置10と各子局装置4との間は光ファイバケーブル5で接続されている。中継局装置10は、光信号を電気信号に変換するE/O、電気信号を中継増幅する増幅器、電気信号を光信号に変換するO/E、光信号を分岐及び合成する分岐合成器などを有して、親局装置2と子局装置4との間で光信号の分岐伝送を行う。
なお、図2に示す例では、各子局装置4にそれぞれ1台の送信増幅器6を接続してあるが、上記のように子局装置4に何台の送信増幅器6を接続するかは任意である。
【0026】
更に図3には、図2に示すような中継局装置を備えたシステムを携帯電話システムに応用した一例を示してある。
この応用例は、基地局装置(BTS)及び親局装置(M/U)に2つの中継局装置(HUB)を振り分けて接続し、多数の子局装置(S/U)を幹線道路等に沿って広範囲に設置したものであり、1つの基地局装置(BTS)から成る無線通信エリアを等価的に拡大している。
【0027】
更に図4には、図2に示すような中継局装置を備えたシステムを携帯電話システムに応用した他の一例を示してある。
この応用例は、基地局装置(BTS)及び親局装置(M/U)から成る局に中継局装置(HUB)を接続し、この中継局装置(HUB)に接続された多数の子局装置(S/U)をビル内の各地上階や地下、更には、地下通路内に設置したものであり、不感区域となる建物内部や地下空間に当該基地局の無線通信エリアを等価的に拡大している。
【0028】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、本発明によると、或る周波数帯域の増幅を行う増幅器及び無線局装置の無線信号処理部を周波数帯域に分けて設けるとともに、当該周波数帯域に対応した増幅器を設けるようにしたため、共通増幅による通信品質の劣化を回避し、且つ、通信サービスの変更に柔軟に対応することができる無線局装置を実現することができる。より具体的には、システムの共通性を維持しながら、不要な設備投資を抑えて段階的に設備の構築を行いことができ、新たな通信サービスへの対応を高い通信品質を持って柔軟且つ迅速に行うことができる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a radio station system used for a radio communication service using a mobile communication device such as a mobile phone or a portable information communication terminal, and more particularly to a radio station system capable of realizing high-quality signal amplification.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art In a mobile communication system such as a mobile phone or a mobile tool (portable information communication terminal), a mobile device is wirelessly connected to a station device connected to a higher-level network such as a public line network. It is possible to communicate through a higher-level network.
In such a mobile communication system, when the mobile communication device is located in a place where wireless radio waves can easily reach, such as outdoors, the mobile communication device can perform good wireless communication with the station device. When in a dead zone where radio waves are difficult to reach, good wireless communication with an external station device cannot be performed.
[0003]
To solve such a problem, as shown in FIG. 5, a lower station device 52 (also referred to as a master station) as a relay station is connected to a base station device 51 connected to an upper line network by a cable 53. A terminal station device 54 (also referred to as a slave station) is connected to the master station device 52 by a cable 55, and the slave station device 54 is installed in a dead zone, and a mobile communication device 56 and a slave station located in the dead zone are connected. A device has been devised to enable communication between the mobile communication device 56 and the higher-level network by performing wireless communication between the devices 54.
Further, since it is necessary to efficiently transmit a high-frequency signal such as 800 MHz or 1.5 GHz band used for mobile phone wireless communication, for example, a metal cable is used instead of the metal cable to connect the master station device 52 and the slave station device 54. A device using a lightweight, flexible, low-loss optical fiber cable 55 has also been devised (for example, see Patent Document 1).
[0004]
Here, with the development of information communication, higher-speed data communication is required for a wireless communication service, and a wireless communication service using a new method is rapidly being developed. For this reason, a wireless communication service in a new system that enables high-speed communication while retaining the wireless communication service of the conventional system has been introduced and put into practical use.
[0005]
[Patent Document 1]
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-324044
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As described above, for example, in order to provide a new type of wireless communication service for performing wireless communication in a higher frequency band for high-speed communication, a wireless station system including a slave station device must correspond to this. However, there is a need to avoid wireless interference with other devices, and there is a problem that it is not easy to secure a new installation location of the slave station device.
[0007]
Further, the station apparatus performs an amplification process on a signal to be communicated, but when a single apparatus amplifies a plurality of frequency signals in common, the higher the output level, the more the distortion due to the amplification becomes more pronounced and the communication quality is significantly reduced. Would. As a countermeasure for this, it is conceivable to connect expensive amplifiers in multiple stages, but there is a problem that not only the equipment cost increases but also the operation cost increases due to the increase in power consumption.
Also, if a plurality of signals with different frequency bands are commonly amplified, the output level is unified and the area of the communication service area becomes the same, but in practice, the services with different frequency bands need to have different areas. There was an obstacle in building these communication service areas.
[0008]
And, as shown in FIG. 5, in the system configuration in which the slave station device 54 is installed for the countermeasure for the dead zone, the service in the different frequency band is increased, and the limited number of services in the building or the tunnel is limited. It is very difficult to secure a place for installing a new station device in a place where the optical fiber cable 55 connecting the master station device 52 and the slave station device 54 is limited. However, there is a problem that it is difficult to secure a laying space.
[0009]
In the case of a system in which the master station device 52 and the slave station device 54 are connected by an optical fiber cable 55 as shown in FIG. 5, electric / optical conversion (E / O conversion) and optical / optical conversion for performing optical fiber transmission are performed. Since the signal level is lowered by the electrical / electrical conversion (O / E conversion), by performing common amplification in this optical fiber transmission portion, low distortion signal amplification is performed even in a system of a plurality of frequency bands with high level output. be able to. However, even if such a method is adopted, there is a problem of forming an area corresponding to each wireless communication service.For example, when an area of the same size is formed by each wireless communication service, the There is a problem that the desired area cannot be formed by common amplification because there is a difference in the space propagation loss according to the difference.
[0010]
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a radio station system capable of realizing such a service with a high-quality and flexible configuration even when a radio communication service of a plurality of frequency bands is realized. It is intended to be.
Further objects of the present invention will be apparent in the following description.
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention relates to a radio station apparatus having one or more radio signal processing units divided by a frequency band of a radio communication service provided to a mobile communication device, and a radio signal connected between the radio station apparatus and an antenna. A wireless station system includes one or more amplifiers that amplify a wireless signal processed by a processing unit.
For example, according to the system shown in FIG. 5, one or a plurality of wireless signal processing units separated by one or more wireless communication service frequency bands are provided in the slave station device to wirelessly communicate with the mobile communication device. This is a wireless station system provided with one or a plurality of amplifiers for amplifying a wireless signal corresponding to a wireless signal processing unit between the antenna and the slave station device.
[0012]
Therefore, by providing a wireless signal processing unit necessary for the wireless communication service to be implemented in the wireless station device (slave station device) and providing an amplifier thereto, it is possible to eliminate the need for installing a new wireless station device and reduce distortion. A high-quality wireless communication service can be realized without performing common amplification that causes the above.
Since the amplifier may be provided as needed, the corresponding radio signal processing unit of the radio station device is unitized by, for example, configuring each substrate, and the unit is provided to the station device as necessary. Preferably, it can be attached to and detached from.
[0013]
Here, the present invention is particularly effective for a system in which the installation place of the wireless station device is limited, such as a measure for a dead zone, so that the present invention is connected to an upper station device (master station device) by an optical fiber cable and the It is preferably applied to a station device (slave station device) of a terminal that performs wireless communication with a mobile communication device, but may be generally applied to a terminal station device that performs wireless communication with a mobile communication device. Accordingly, a high-quality service can be provided flexibly in response to a change in the wireless communication service.
[0014]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
The present invention will be specifically described based on examples.
FIG. 1 shows a main configuration of a wireless station system according to one embodiment of the present invention.
In the illustrated system, a master station device 2 as a relay station is connected to a base station device 1 connected to an upper line network by a metal cable 3, and a slave station device 4 is connected to the master station device 2 by an optical fiber cable 5. Then, one or a plurality (three in this example) of transmission / reception amplifiers 6 are connected to the slave station device 4 as necessary by a metal cable 7 and an antenna 8 is connected to each of the transmission / reception amplifiers 6.
[0015]
In the case of a system for measures against a dead zone, the slave station device 4 is a terminal station installed in the dead zone to make the dead zone a communicable area with the mobile communication device 9. Further, the transmission / reception amplifier 6 is a device in which the amplification function conventionally provided in the slave station device 4 is separated, and is installed in a place where a dead zone is required to provide a communication service such as expansion of a frequency band of wireless communication. This makes it possible to flexibly respond to changes in.
That is, in this example, the wireless station device according to the present invention is configured by the slave station device 4 and the transmission / reception amplifier 6.
[0016]
The master station apparatus 2 modulates a line frequency signal from an upper line network into a predetermined frequency signal (for example, an intermediate frequency signal) by a modulator (TX) 21 and converts this signal into an electro-optical converter (E / O). At 22, the signal is converted into an optical signal and transmitted to the slave station device 4 through the optical fiber cable 5.

Further, the slave station device 4 modulates an RF electric signal transmitted from the transmission / reception amplifier 6 through the cable 7 into a predetermined frequency signal (for example, an intermediate frequency signal) by the demodulator (RX) 43, and converts the electric signal into an electric signal. The signal is converted into an optical signal by an optical converter (E / O) 44 and transmitted to the master station device 2 through the optical fiber cable 5.
[0018]
In the slave station device 4 of this example, the O / E 41, the TX 42, the RX 43, and the E / O 44 are configured as a unit provided on a single board. Three units U1, U2, and U3 are provided. These units U1, U2, and U3 are detachably provided on the slave station device 4 by means of a fastener or a screw, and the units provided in the slave station device 4 can be easily expanded in accordance with the addition or abolition of the transmission / reception amplifier 6. And can be abolished.
In this example, three units U1, U2, and U3 and three transmission / reception amplifiers 6 corresponding thereto are provided, but one or more units and transmission / reception amplifiers 6 are arbitrarily set as necessary. be able to.
[0019]
In addition, the slave station device 4 is provided with a branching / combining unit 45 and an electric signal interface (I / F) 46 that function as interfaces for optical signals and electric signals to the units U1, U2, and U3.
The splitter / combiner 45 splits the optical signal from the optical fiber cable 5 and outputs it to the O / E 41 of each unit, and synthesizes the optical signal from the E / O 44 of each unit and outputs it to the optical fiber cable 5. And has a connection section for detachably optically connecting to each of the units U1, U2, and U3.
[0020]
The I / F 46 outputs the RF electric signal from the TX 42 of each unit to the corresponding cable 7 of the transmission / reception amplifier 6, and receives the RF electric signal from each transmission / reception amplifier 6 from the cable 7, and outputs the RX 43 And has a connection unit for detachably electrically connecting to each of the units U1, U2, and U3.
In this example, the photoelectric conversion units (O / E41 and E / O44) and the radio signal processing units (TX42 and RX43) are integrally unitized, but at least one of these functional units is used as a slave station. What is necessary is just to make it detachable with respect to the apparatus 4, and to be able to flexibly cope with the addition or abolition of the transmission / reception amplifier 6.
[0021]
