Description

本発明は、セル内に存在する無線端末と他の無線基地局との間の伝搬損失に基づいて、当該無線端末の送信電力を制御する無線基地局、及び、当該無線基地局における通信制御方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a radio base station that controls transmission power of the radio terminal based on a propagation loss between the radio terminal and another radio base station existing in a cell, and a communication control method in the radio base station About.

現在運用されている第3世代及び第3.5世代無線通信システムよりも高速・大容量の通信を実現する次世代無線通信システムとして、無線通信システムの標準化団体である3GPPで標準化されているLTEがある。LTEは3GPP Release 8として技術仕様が定まり、現在はRelease 8の機能改良版であるRelease 9、及び、LTEを高度化したLTE Advancedの検討が行われている。   LTE standardized by 3GPP, a standardization organization for wireless communication systems, as a next-generation wireless communication system that realizes higher-speed and larger-capacity communication than the currently used third-generation and 3.5-generation wireless communication systems There is. Technical specifications of LTE have been determined as 3GPP Release 8, and Release 9 which is an improved version of Release 8 and LTE Advanced which is an advanced version of LTE are currently being studied.

また、LTERelease 9では、半径数[m]から十数[m]程度の通信エリアであるセル(小セル)を形成し、室内に設置可能な小型の基地局である小セル基地局(Home eNodeB)の詳細機能・要件について標準化が進められている。小セル基地局は、半径数百m程度の通信エリアである大セル(大セル)を形成する大セル基地局(Macro eNodeB)のトラフィックを分散させることや、大セル内の不感地帯をカバーすることを目的として設置される。   In LTE Release 9, a small cell base station (Home eNodeB), which is a small base station that can be installed indoors by forming a cell (small cell) that is a communication area with a radius of about [m] to about a dozen [m]. ) Detailed functions and requirements are being standardized. The small cell base station distributes the traffic of the large cell base station (Macro eNodeB) that forms a large cell (large cell), which is a communication area with a radius of several hundred meters, and covers the dead zone in the large cell. It is installed for the purpose.

ところで、小セル基地局が大セル内に設置された場合、小セル基地局に接続する無線端末(小セル端末)が、大セル基地局へ与える干渉を制御するために、小セル端末における上りリンクの送信電力を制御する方法が提案されている(非特許文献1参照)。   By the way, when a small cell base station is installed in a large cell, in order to control the interference given to the large cell base station by a wireless terminal (small cell terminal) connected to the small cell base station, A method for controlling the transmission power of a link has been proposed (see Non-Patent Document 1).

上述の電力制御方法が採用される場合、無線通信システムでは、各小セル端末が大セル基地局に与える干渉電力の密度の最大値I(CAP)が定められる。I(CAP)は小セル基地局に記憶される。I(CAP)は、小セル端末から大セル基地局への伝搬損失PL(小セル端末→大セル基地局)に依存しない定数である。なお、LTEにおいて、電力密度とは、1リソースブロック(RB:Resource Block)当たりの電力を示す。   When the above-described power control method is employed, in the wireless communication system, the maximum value I (CAP) of the density of interference power that each small cell terminal gives to the large cell base station is determined. I (CAP) is stored in the small cell base station. I (CAP) is a constant that does not depend on the propagation loss PL (small cell terminal → large cell base station) from the small cell terminal to the large cell base station. In LTE, the power density indicates power per resource block (RB).

小セル基地局は、各小セル端末の上りリンクの送信電力密度の最大値P(MAX)を、式(1)P(MAX)=I(CAP)×PL(小セル端末→大セル基地局)により算出する。ここで、PL(小セル端末→大セル基地局)は、既存の手法によって求められる。   The small cell base station calculates the maximum value P (MAX) of the uplink transmission power density of each small cell terminal using the formula (1) P (MAX) = I (CAP) × PL (small cell terminal → large cell base station) ). Here, PL (small cell terminal → large cell base station) is obtained by an existing method.

次に、小セル基地局は、小セル端末の上りリンクの送信電力密度の最大値P(MAX)の条件を満たすように、各小セル端末の上りリンクの送信電力を定め、小セル端末へ通知する。   Next, the small cell base station determines the uplink transmission power of each small cell terminal so as to satisfy the condition of the maximum value P (MAX) of the uplink transmission power density of the small cell terminal, and sends it to the small cell terminal. Notice.

3GPP TR25.967 v.9.0.0 “Home Node B Radio Frequency (RF) Requirements (FDD)”の 7.3 節“Control of HNB uplink interference”, 2009年5月3GPP TR25.967 v.9.0.0 “Home Node B Radio Frequency (RF) Requirements (FDD)”, Section 7.3 “Control of HNB uplink interference”, May 2009

しかしながら、非特許文献1に開示された方法では、小セル端末が大セル基地局に与える干渉電力の密度の最大値I(CAP)は、各小セル端末において一定の値である。また、式(1)で定められる各小セル端末の上りリンクの送信電力密度の最大値P(MAX)は、小セル端末から大セル基地局への伝搬損失PL(小セル端末→大セル基地局)に比例する。このため、大セル基地局から遠い小セル端末は、大きな送信電力密度が設定される一方、大セル基地局から近い小セル端末は小さな送信電力密度に制限されてしまう。送信電力密度の大小はスループットの大小につながる。従って、小セル端末と大セル基地局との距離によって、小セル端末の送信電力密度の最大値が大きく異なることは、小セル端末のユーザの不満に繋がるおそれがある。   However, in the method disclosed in Non-Patent Document 1, the maximum value I (CAP) of the interference power density given to the large cell base station by the small cell terminal is a constant value in each small cell terminal. Further, the maximum value P (MAX) of the uplink transmission power density of each small cell terminal defined by Expression (1) is a propagation loss PL (small cell terminal → large cell base) from the small cell terminal to the large cell base station. Station). Therefore, a small cell terminal far from the large cell base station is set to a large transmission power density, while a small cell terminal close to the large cell base station is limited to a small transmission power density. The magnitude of transmission power density leads to the magnitude of throughput. Therefore, a large difference in the maximum value of the transmission power density of the small cell terminal depending on the distance between the small cell terminal and the large cell base station may lead to dissatisfaction of the user of the small cell terminal.

そこで、本発明は、無線基地局に接続される無線端末における送信電力が、当該無線端末と他の無線基地局との距離に依存することを緩和させた無線基地局及び通信制御方法を提供することを目的とする。   Therefore, the present invention provides a radio base station and a communication control method in which transmission power in a radio terminal connected to the radio base station is less dependent on the distance between the radio terminal and another radio base station. For the purpose.

上述した課題を解決するために、本発明は以下のような特徴を有している。本発明の第1の特徴は、セル(FC1)内に存在する無線端末(無線端末200)と他の無線基地局(大セル基地局300)との間の伝搬損失に基づいて、前記無線端末の送信電力を制御する無線基地局(小セル基地局100)であって、前記伝播損失が所定値未満の場合には、前記伝搬損失に対する前記無線端末の送信電力密度の最大値の比が、前記無線端末が前記他の無線基地局へ与える干渉を一定とするための前記伝搬損失に対する前記無線端末の送信電力密度の最大値の比よりも大きくなり、前記伝播損失が所定値以上の場合には、前記伝搬損失に対する前記無線端末の送信電力密度の最大値の比が、前記無線端末が前記他の無線基地局へ与える干渉を一定とするための前記伝搬損失に対する前記無線端末の送信電力密度の最大値の比よりも小さくなるように、前記無線端末の送信電力密度の最大値を決定する送信電力密度決定部(送信電力密度決定部121)を備えることを要旨とする。   In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention has the following features. The first feature of the present invention is that the wireless terminal is based on a propagation loss between a wireless terminal (wireless terminal 200) existing in the cell (FC1) and another wireless base station (large cell base station 300). When the propagation loss is less than a predetermined value, the ratio of the maximum value of the transmission power density of the wireless terminal to the propagation loss is a radio base station (small cell base station 100) that controls the transmission power of When the ratio of the maximum value of the transmission power density of the wireless terminal to the propagation loss for making the interference given to the other wireless base station constant by the wireless terminal is larger than the predetermined value The ratio of the maximum value of the transmission power density of the wireless terminal to the propagation loss is the transmission power density of the wireless terminal with respect to the propagation loss for making the interference given to the other wireless base station by the wireless terminal constant. The maximum of To be smaller than, and summarized in that a transmission power density determination unit for determining a maximum value of transmission power density of the wireless terminal (transmission power density determining unit 121).

このような無線基地局は、伝播損失が所定値未満の場合には、伝搬損失に対する無線端末の送信電力密度の最大値の比が、無線端末が前記他の無線基地局へ与える干渉を一定とするための前記伝搬損失に対する前記無線端末の送信電力密度の最大値の比よりも大きくなり、伝播損失が所定値以上の場合には、伝搬損失に対する前記無線端末の送信電力密度の最大値の比が、無線端末が前記他の無線基地局へ与える干渉を一定とするための前記伝搬損失に対する無線端末の送信電力密度の最大値の比よりも小さくなるように、無線端末の送信電力密度の最大値を決定する。これにより、無線端末と他の無線基地局との間の距離が変化しても、無線端末の送信電力密度は従来ほど変化せず、無線基地局に接続される無線端末における送信電力が、当該無線端末と他の無線基地局との距離に依存することを緩和させることができる。   In such a radio base station, when the propagation loss is less than a predetermined value, the ratio of the maximum value of the transmission power density of the radio terminal to the propagation loss is constant interference that the radio terminal gives to the other radio base station. A ratio of the maximum value of the transmission power density of the wireless terminal to the propagation loss to be larger, and when the propagation loss is a predetermined value or more, the ratio of the maximum value of the transmission power density of the wireless terminal to the propagation loss However, the maximum transmission power density of the wireless terminal is smaller than the ratio of the maximum value of the transmission power density of the wireless terminal to the propagation loss for making the interference given to the other wireless base station constant by the wireless terminal. Determine the value. As a result, even if the distance between the wireless terminal and another wireless base station changes, the transmission power density of the wireless terminal does not change as much as before, and the transmission power in the wireless terminal connected to the wireless base station Dependence on the distance between the wireless terminal and another wireless base station can be mitigated.

本発明の第2の特徴は、前記送信電力密度決定部は、0より大きく1未満の値を指数とする前記伝播損失の累乗に比例するように、前記無線端末の送信電力密度の最大値を算出することを要旨とする。   According to a second aspect of the present invention, the transmission power density determination unit sets the maximum value of the transmission power density of the wireless terminal so that the transmission power density determination unit is proportional to the power of the propagation loss with an index greater than 0 and less than 1. The gist is to calculate.

本発明の第3の特徴は、前記無線端末に対して、前記無線端末の送信電力密度の最大値以下の送信電力密度に対応する送信電力を指示する送信電力指示部(送信電力指示部122)を備えることを要旨とする。   A third feature of the present invention is that a transmission power instruction unit (transmission power instruction unit 122) instructs the wireless terminal to transmit power corresponding to a transmission power density equal to or lower than a maximum value of the transmission power density of the wireless terminal. It is a summary to provide.

本発明の第4の特徴は、セル内に存在する無線端末と他の無線基地局との間の伝搬損失に基づいて、前記無線端末の送信電力を制御する無線基地局における通信制御方法であって、前記伝播損失が所定値未満の場合には、前記伝搬損失に対する前記無線端末の送信電力密度の最大値の比が、前記無線端末が前記他の無線基地局へ与える干渉を一定とするための前記伝搬損失に対する前記無線端末の送信電力密度の最大値の比よりも大きくなり、前記伝播損失が所定値以上の場合には、前記伝搬損失に対する前記無線端末の送信電力密度の最大値の比が、前記無線端末が前記他の無線基地局へ与える干渉を一定とするための前記伝搬損失に対する前記無線端末の送信電力密度の最大値の比よりも小さくなるように、前記無線端末の送信電力密度の最大値を決定するステップを備えることを要旨とする。   A fourth feature of the present invention is a communication control method in a radio base station that controls transmission power of the radio terminal based on a propagation loss between the radio terminal present in the cell and another radio base station. Then, when the propagation loss is less than a predetermined value, the ratio of the maximum value of the transmission power density of the wireless terminal to the propagation loss makes the interference given by the wireless terminal to the other wireless base station constant. A ratio of a maximum value of the transmission power density of the wireless terminal to the propagation loss of the wireless terminal, and a ratio of the maximum value of the transmission power density of the wireless terminal to the propagation loss when the propagation loss is a predetermined value or more. The transmission power of the wireless terminal is smaller than the ratio of the maximum value of the transmission power density of the wireless terminal to the propagation loss for making the interference given to the other wireless base station constant by the wireless terminal. density And summarized in that comprising the step of determining a maximum value.

The wireless communication system 1 has, for example, a configuration based on LTE Release 9 which is a 3.9th generation (3.9G) mobile phone system and LTE-Advanced which is positioned as a 4th generation (4G) mobile phone system.

図1に示すように、無線通信システム1は、小セル(例えば、フェムトセルやピコセル)FC1を形成する小セル基地局(例えば、フェムトセル基地局やピコセル基地局)100と、大セル(例えば、マクロセル)MC1を形成する大セル基地局(例えば、マクロセル基地局)300とを有する。大セルMC1の半径は、例えば数百[m]程度であり、小セルFC1の半径は、例えば数[m]から十数[m]程度である。小セル基地局100には無線端末(小セル端末)200が接続している。   As shown in FIG. 1, the radio communication system 1 includes a small cell base station (for example, a femtocell base station or a picocell base station) 100 that forms a small cell (for example, a femtocell or picocell) FC1, and a large cell (for example, , Macro cell) large cell base station (for example, macro cell base station) 300 that forms MC1. The radius of the large cell MC1 is, for example, about several hundred [m], and the radius of the small cell FC1 is, for example, about several [m] to several tens [m]. A radio terminal (small cell terminal) 200 is connected to the small cell base station 100.

大セル基地局300は、通信事業者がセル間干渉を考慮した置局設計に基づく場所に設置される。一方、小セル基地局100は、ユーザにより任意の場所(具体的には、室内)に設置される程度に小型に構成されている。小セル基地局100は、大セル基地局300のトラフィックを分散させることや、大セルMC1内の不感地帯をカバーすることを目的として、大セルMC1内に設置されている。   The large cell base station 300 is installed at a location based on a station design in which a communication carrier considers inter-cell interference. On the other hand, the small cell base station 100 is configured to be small enough to be installed in an arbitrary place (specifically, indoors) by the user. The small cell base station 100 is installed in the large cell MC1 for the purpose of distributing the traffic of the large cell base station 300 and covering the dead zone in the large cell MC1.

大セル基地局300は、専用線を介してコアネットワーク500に接続されている。一方、小セル基地局100は、ADSLやFTTH等の一般公衆回線を介して通信事業者のコアネットワーク500に接続されている。また、コアネットワーク500には、MME(Mobility Management Entity)等の上位装置400が接続されている。   The large cell base station 300 is connected to the core network 500 via a dedicated line. On the other hand, the small cell base station 100 is connected to a core network 500 of a communication carrier through a general public line such as ADSL or FTTH.

(1.2)小セル基地局の構成
図2は、小セル基地局100の構成を示すブロック図である。図2に示すように、小セル基地局100は、アンテナ部101、無線通信部110、制御部120、記憶部130及び有線通信部140を有する。
In the present embodiment, when the large cell base station 300 receives interference from the radio terminal 200, the small cell base station 100 controls the transmission power of the radio terminal 200 to reduce the interference.
(1.2) Configuration of Small Cell Base Station FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the small cell base station 100. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the small cell base station 100 includes an antenna unit 101, a wireless communication unit 110, a control unit 120, a storage unit 130, and a wired communication unit 140.

無線通信部110は、例えば無線周波数(RF)回路やベースバンド(BB)回路等を用いて構成され、アンテナ部101を介して、無線信号の送受信を行う。また、無線通信部110は、送信信号の符号化及び変調と、受信信号の復調及び復号とを行う。   The wireless communication unit 110 is configured using, for example, a radio frequency (RF) circuit, a baseband (BB) circuit, and the like, and transmits and receives a wireless signal via the antenna unit 101. In addition, the wireless communication unit 110 performs encoding and modulation of a transmission signal and demodulation and decoding of a reception signal.

制御部120は、例えばCPUを用いて構成され、大セル基地局300が具備する各種の機能を制御する。記憶部130は、例えばメモリを用いて構成され、大セル基地局300の制御等に用いられる各種の情報を記憶する。有線通信部140は、コアネットワーク500を介して、他の大セル基地局や小セル基地局100との通信を行う。   The control unit 120 is configured using, for example, a CPU, and controls various functions included in the large cell base station 300. The storage unit 130 is configured using a memory, for example, and stores various types of information used for controlling the large cell base station 300 and the like. The wired communication unit 140 communicates with other large cell base stations and small cell base stations 100 via the core network 500.

制御部120は、送信電力密度決定部121及び送信電力指示部122を有する。   The control unit 120 includes a transmission power density determination unit 121 and a transmission power instruction unit 122.

送信電力密度決定部121は、アンテナ部101及び無線通信部110を介して、無線端末200における大セル基地局300からの参照信号(RS:Referennce Signal)の受信電界強度(RSRP(大セル基地局→小セル端末))を、当該無線端末200から受信する。ここで、RSRP(大セル基地局→小セル端末)は、無線端末200において測定される。   The transmission power density determination unit 121 receives a received signal strength (RSRP (large cell base station) of a reference signal (RS) from the large cell base station 300 in the radio terminal 200 via the antenna unit 101 and the radio communication unit 110. → small cell terminal)) is received from the radio terminal 200. Here, RSRP (large cell base station → small cell terminal) is measured in radio terminal 200.

次に、送信電力密度決定部121は、既存の手法を用いて、RSRP(大セル基地局→小セル端末)に基づいて、大セル基地局300から無線端末200への伝搬損失PL(大セル基地局→小セル端末)を算出する。   Next, the transmission power density determination unit 121 uses an existing method to determine the propagation loss PL (large cell) from the large cell base station 300 to the radio terminal 200 based on RSRP (large cell base station → small cell terminal). Base station → small cell terminal).

具体的には、送信電力密度決定部121は、大セル基地局300の参照信号の送信電力をRSRP(大セル基地局→小セル端末)で除算することによって、PL(大セル基地局→小セル端末)を算出する。ここで、大セル基地局300は、参照信号の送信電力を、自身に接続している図示しない無線端末へ送信している。送信電力密度決定部121は、この参照信号の送信電力を、アンテナ部101及び無線通信部110を介して受信することができる。   Specifically, the transmission power density determination unit 121 divides the transmission power of the reference signal of the large cell base station 300 by RSRP (large cell base station → small cell terminal), thereby obtaining PL (large cell base station → small cell base station). Cell terminal). Here, the large cell base station 300 transmits the transmission power of the reference signal to a wireless terminal (not shown) connected to itself. The transmission power density determination unit 121 can receive the transmission power of the reference signal via the antenna unit 101 and the wireless communication unit 110.

更に、送信電力密度決定部121は、無線端末200から大セル基地局300への伝搬損失PL(小セル端末→大セル基地局)を推定する。具体的には、送信電力密度決定部121は、上り方向と下り方向とで使用される周波数帯域の差が所定値以下であって近い場合には、PL(大セル基地局→小セル端末)を、PL(小セル端末→大セル基地局)であると推定する。一方、送信電力密度決定部121は、上り方向と下り方向とで使用される周波数帯域の差が所定値を超えている場合には、PL(大セル基地局→小セル端末)を所定の補正手法によって補正した値を、PL(小セル端末→大セル基地局)であると推定する。   Further, the transmission power density determination unit 121 estimates a propagation loss PL (small cell terminal → large cell base station) from the radio terminal 200 to the large cell base station 300. Specifically, the transmission power density determination unit 121 performs PL (large cell base station → small cell terminal) when the difference between the frequency bands used in the uplink direction and the downlink direction is less than or equal to a predetermined value. Is PL (small cell terminal → large cell base station). On the other hand, when the difference between the frequency bands used in the uplink direction and the downlink direction exceeds a predetermined value, the transmission power density determination unit 121 corrects PL (large cell base station → small cell terminal) with a predetermined correction. The value corrected by the technique is estimated to be PL (small cell terminal → large cell base station).

The maximum density value I (CAP) is calculated.

... Formula (2)

ここで、定数Aは無線通信システム1において予め定められた正の実数であり、定数Bは無線通信システム1において予め定められた0より大きく1未満の実数であり、記憶部130に記憶されている。従来は、I(CAP)があらかじめ定められていたが、本実施形態では、定数A及びBがあらかじめ定められる。式(2)はデシベル表記では、以下の式(3)となる。   Here, the constant A is a positive real number predetermined in the radio communication system 1, and the constant B is a real number greater than 0 and less than 1 predetermined in the radio communication system 1, and is stored in the storage unit 130. Yes. Conventionally, I (CAP) is predetermined, but in this embodiment, constants A and B are predetermined. Expression (2) is expressed by the following expression (3) in decibel notation.

I(CAP)[dB]=−B[dB]×PL(小セル端末→大セル基地局)[dB]+A[dB]…式(3)   I (CAP) [dB] = − B [dB] × PL (small cell terminal → large cell base station) [dB] + A [dB] (3)

図3(a)の実線部は、式(2)に基づくPL(小セル端末→大セル基地局)とI(CAP)の対応関係を示し、図3(a)の点線部は従来のPL(小セル端末→大セル基地局)とI(CAP)の対応関係を示す。また、図3(b)の実線部は、デシベル表記の場合の式(3)に基づくPL(小セル端末→大セル基地局)とI(CAP)の対応関係を示し、図3(b)の点線部は、デシベル表記の場合の従来のPL(小セル端末→大セル基地局)とI(CAP)の対応関係を示す。   The solid line part in FIG. 3A shows the correspondence between PL (small cell terminal → large cell base station) and I (CAP) based on the formula (2), and the dotted line part in FIG. The correspondence relationship between (small cell terminal → large cell base station) and I (CAP) is shown. Also, the solid line portion in FIG. 3B shows the correspondence between PL (small cell terminal → large cell base station) and I (CAP) based on Equation (3) in the case of decibel notation, and FIG. The dotted line portion in FIG. 4 indicates the correspondence between conventional PL (small cell terminal → large cell base station) and I (CAP) in the case of decibel notation.

図3(a)及び(b)に示すように、従来は、I(CAP)は、PL(小セル端末→大セル基地局)によらず、所定の値となるように算出された。これに対し、本実施形態では、I(CAP)は、PL(小セル端末→大セル基地局)が大きいほど、換言すれば、無線端末200と大セル基地局300との距離が長いほど、I(CAP)は小さくなるように算出される。   As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, conventionally, I (CAP) is calculated to have a predetermined value regardless of PL (small cell terminal → large cell base station). On the other hand, in this embodiment, I (CAP) is larger as PL (small cell terminal → large cell base station) is larger, in other words, as the distance between the radio terminal 200 and the large cell base station 300 is longer, I (CAP) is calculated to be small.

再び、図2に戻って説明する。送信電力密度決定部121は、以下の式(4)により、無線端末200の上りリンクの送信電力密度の最大値P(MAX)を算出する。   Again, referring back to FIG. The transmission power density determination unit 121 calculates the maximum value P (MAX) of the uplink transmission power density of the radio terminal 200 by the following equation (4).

P(MAX)=I(CAP)×PL(小セル端末→大セル基地局)…式(4)   P (MAX) = I (CAP) × PL (small cell terminal → large cell base station) (4)

式(2)及び式(4)により、P(MAX)は、以下の式(5)により算出される。   P (MAX) is calculated by the following equation (5) from the equations (2) and (4).

Figure 2011101178
…式(5)
Figure 2011101178
... Formula (5)

式(5)はデシベル表記では以下の式(6)となる。   Expression (5) is expressed by the following expression (6) in decibel notation.

P(MAX)[dB]=(1−B)[dB]×PL(小セル端末→大セル基地局)[dB]+A[dB]…式(6)   P (MAX) [dB] = (1-B) [dB] × PL (small cell terminal → large cell base station) [dB] + A [dB] (6)

従来は、式(1)から明らかなように、P(MAX)は、PL(小セル端末→大セル基地局)の1乗に比例するが、本実施形態では、P(MAX)は、PL(小セル端末→大セル基地局)の1−B乗に比例する。   Conventionally, as is clear from Equation (1), P (MAX) is proportional to the power of PL (small cell terminal → large cell base station), but in this embodiment, P (MAX) is PL It is proportional to the 1-B power of (small cell terminal → large cell base station).

図4(a)の実線部は、式(5)に基づくPL(小セル端末→大セル基地局)とP(MAX)の対応関係を示し、図4(a)の点線部は、従来のPL(小セル端末→大セル基地局)とP(MAX)の対応関係を示す。また、図4(b)の実線部は、デシベル表記の場合の式(6)に基づくPL(小セル端末→大セル基地局)とP(MAX)の対応関係を示し、図4(b)の点線部は、デシベル表記の場合の従来のPL(小セル端末→大セル基地局)とP(MAX)の対応関係を示す。   The solid line part in FIG. 4 (a) shows the correspondence between PL (small cell terminal → large cell base station) and P (MAX) based on equation (5), and the dotted line part in FIG. The correspondence relationship between PL (small cell terminal → large cell base station) and P (MAX) is shown. Also, the solid line part in FIG. 4 (b) shows the correspondence between PL (small cell terminal → large cell base station) and P (MAX) based on Expression (6) in the case of decibel notation, and FIG. 4 (b). The dotted line portion indicates the correspondence between conventional PL (small cell terminal → large cell base station) and P (MAX) in the case of decibel notation.

図4(a)及び(b)に示すように、従来は、P(MAX)は、PL(小セル端末→大セル基地局)の1乗に比例するように算出されるが、本実施形態では、P(MAX)は、PL(小セル端末→大セル基地局)の1−B乗に比例するように算出される。従って、本実施形態では、PL(小セル端末→大セル基地局)が所定値以上である場合、換言すれば、無線端末200と大セル基地局300との距離が所定距離以下である場合には、P(MAX)は従来よりも大きな値となり、PL(小セル端末→大セル基地局)が所定値未満である場合、換言すれば、無線端末200と大セル基地局300との距離が所定距離を超える場合には、P(MAX)は従来よりも小さな値となる。   As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, conventionally, P (MAX) is calculated to be proportional to the first power of PL (small cell terminal → large cell base station). Then, P (MAX) is calculated so as to be proportional to 1-B power of PL (small cell terminal → large cell base station). Therefore, in this embodiment, when PL (small cell terminal → large cell base station) is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, in other words, when the distance between the radio terminal 200 and the large cell base station 300 is less than or equal to the predetermined distance. P (MAX) becomes a larger value than before, and when PL (small cell terminal → large cell base station) is less than a predetermined value, in other words, the distance between the radio terminal 200 and the large cell base station 300 is If the distance exceeds the predetermined distance, P (MAX) becomes a smaller value than before.

再び、図2に戻って説明する。送信電力密度決定部121は、算出したP(MAX)の条件を満たすように、換言すれば、無線端末200の上りリンクに対応するリソースブロックの送信電力密度が、P(MAX)以下となるように、無線端末200における上りリンクの送信電力を算出する。   Again, referring back to FIG. The transmission power density determination unit 121 satisfies the calculated P (MAX) condition, in other words, the transmission power density of the resource block corresponding to the uplink of the radio terminal 200 is equal to or less than P (MAX). Then, the uplink transmission power in the radio terminal 200 is calculated.

送信電力指示部122は、算出した送信電力を含んだ通知である送信電力通知を、無線通信部110及びアンテナ部101を介して、無線端末200へ送信する。無線端末200は、送信電力通知を受信すると、当該送信電力通知に含まれる送信電力で上りリンクに対する無線信号の送信を行う。   The transmission power instruction unit 122 transmits a transmission power notification, which is a notification including the calculated transmission power, to the radio terminal 200 via the radio communication unit 110 and the antenna unit 101. When receiving the transmission power notification, the radio terminal 200 transmits a radio signal to the uplink with the transmission power included in the transmission power notification.

ステップS101において、大セル基地局300は、参照信号を送信する。MC1内に存在し、小セル基地局100に接続している無線端末200は、大セル基地局300からの参照信号を受信する。   In step S101, the large cell base station 300 transmits a reference signal. The radio terminal 200 that exists in the MC 1 and is connected to the small cell base station 100 receives the reference signal from the large cell base station 300.

ステップS102において、無線端末200は、参照信号の受信電界強度である、RSRP(大セル基地局→小セル端末)を測定する。ステップS103において、無線端末200は、RSRP(大セル基地局→小セル端末)を、接続している。小セル基地局100へ送信する。小セル基地局100は、無線端末200からのRSRP(大セル基地局→小セル端末)を受信する。   In step S102, the radio terminal 200 measures RSRP (large cell base station → small cell terminal), which is the received signal strength of the reference signal. In step S103, the radio terminal 200 is connected to RSRP (large cell base station → small cell terminal). Transmit to the small cell base station 100. The small cell base station 100 receives RSRP (large cell base station → small cell terminal) from the radio terminal 200.

Terminal). In step S105, the small cell base station 100 determines a propagation loss PL (small cell terminal → large cell base) from the radio terminal 200 to the large cell base station 300 based on the calculated PL (large cell base station → small cell terminal). Station).

図6は、本発明の実施形態に係る無線通信システム1における送信電力制御の動作例を示すシーケンス図である。   FIG. 6 is a sequence diagram showing an operation example of transmission power control in the wireless communication system 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

ステップS201において、小セル基地局100は、図5のステップS105において推定したPL(小セル端末→大セル基地局)に基づいて、無線端末200が大セル基地局300に与える干渉電力の密度の最大値I(CAP)を算出する。   In step S201, the small cell base station 100 determines the density of interference power that the wireless terminal 200 gives to the large cell base station 300 based on the PL (small cell terminal → large cell base station) estimated in step S105 of FIG. The maximum value I (CAP) is calculated.

ステップS202において、小セル基地局100は、算出したI(CAP)と、推定したPL(小セル端末→大セル基地局)とに基づいて、無線端末200の上りリンクの送信電力密度の最大値P(MAX)を算出する。   In step S202, the small cell base station 100 determines the maximum value of the uplink transmission power density of the radio terminal 200 based on the calculated I (CAP) and the estimated PL (small cell terminal → large cell base station). P (MAX) is calculated.

ステップS203において、小セル基地局100は、算出したP(MAX)の条件を満たすように、換言すれば、無線端末200の上りリンクに対応するリソースブロックの送信電力密度が、P(MAX)以下となるように、無線端末200における上りリンクの送信電力を算出する。   In step S203, the small cell base station 100 satisfies the calculated P (MAX) condition, in other words, the transmission power density of the resource block corresponding to the uplink of the radio terminal 200 is equal to or less than P (MAX). Thus, the uplink transmission power in the radio terminal 200 is calculated.

ステップS204において、小セル基地局100は、算出した送信電力を含んだ通知である送信電力通知を無線端末200へ送信する。無線端末200は、送信電力通知を受信する。   In step S204, the small cell base station 100 transmits a transmission power notification, which is a notification including the calculated transmission power, to the radio terminal 200. The wireless terminal 200 receives the transmission power notification.

(3)作用・効果
本実施形態における無線通信システム1では、小セル基地局100は、無線端末200の上りリンクの送信電力密度の最大値P(MAX)を、無線端末200から大セル基地局300への伝搬損失PL(小セル端末→大セル基地局)の(1−B)乗(但し、Bは0より大きく1未満の値)に比例するように算出する。更に、小セル基地局100は、算出したP(MAX)の条件を満たすように、無線端末200の送信電力を決定して、無線端末200へ通知する。
(3) Operation / Effect In the wireless communication system 1 according to the present embodiment, the small cell base station 100 sets the maximum value P (MAX) of the uplink transmission power density of the wireless terminal 200 from the wireless terminal 200 to the large cell base station. It is calculated to be proportional to the (1-B) power (where B is a value greater than 0 and less than 1) of propagation loss PL to 300 (small cell terminal → large cell base station). Furthermore, the small cell base station 100 determines the transmission power of the radio terminal 200 so as to satisfy the calculated P (MAX) condition, and notifies the radio terminal 200 of the transmission power.

これにより、無線端末200から大セル基地局300への伝搬損失PL(小セル端末→大セル基地局)が所定値未満となる領域、換言すれば、大セル基地局300からの距離が所定距離未満となる領域では、当該領域内の無線端末200の送信電力は従来よりも大きくなり、PL(小セル端末→大セル基地局)が所定値以上となる領域、換言すれば、大セル基地局300からの距離が所定距離以上となる領域では、当該領域内の無線端末200の送信電力は従来よりも小さくなる。従って、無線端末200と大セル基地局300との間の距離が変化しても、無線端末200の送信電力密度は従来ほど変化せず、無線端末200における送信電力が、当該無線端末200と大セル基地局300との距離に依存することを緩和させることができる。   Thereby, the region where the propagation loss PL (small cell terminal → large cell base station) from the radio terminal 200 to the large cell base station 300 is less than the predetermined value, in other words, the distance from the large cell base station 300 is the predetermined distance. In the region that is less than the region, the transmission power of the radio terminal 200 in the region is larger than before, and the region where PL (small cell terminal → large cell base station) is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, in other words, the large cell base station In an area where the distance from 300 is equal to or greater than a predetermined distance, the transmission power of the radio terminal 200 in the area is smaller than in the past. Therefore, even if the distance between the radio terminal 200 and the large cell base station 300 changes, the transmission power density of the radio terminal 200 does not change as much as before, and the transmission power in the radio terminal 200 is large compared to the radio terminal 200. Dependence on the distance from the cell base station 300 can be mitigated.

このため、無線端末200におけるスループットは、従来ほど、当該無線端末200の位置に応じて変化することはなく、スループットが大きく変化することによる無線端末200のユーザの不満を抑えることが可能となる。   For this reason, the throughput in the wireless terminal 200 does not change according to the position of the wireless terminal 200 as in the past, and it is possible to suppress dissatisfaction of the user of the wireless terminal 200 due to a large change in the throughput.

上述した実施形態では、小セル基地局100は、無線端末200の上りリンクの送信電力密度の最大値P(MAX)を、無線端末200から大セル基地局300への伝搬損失PL(小セル端末→大セル基地局)の(1−B)乗(但し、Bは0より大きく1未満の値)に比例するように算出したが、P(MAX)の導出方法は、これに限定されず、PL(小セル端末→大セル基地局)が所定値未満の場合には、従来よりもP(MAX)が大きくなり、PL(小セル端末→大セル基地局)が所定値以上の場合には、従来よりもP(MAX)が小さくなるように算出されればよい。   In the embodiment described above, the small cell base station 100 uses the uplink transmission power density maximum value P (MAX) of the radio terminal 200 as the propagation loss PL (small cell terminal) from the radio terminal 200 to the large cell base station 300. → Large cell base station) is calculated to be proportional to (1-B) power (where B is a value greater than 0 and less than 1), but the method of deriving P (MAX) is not limited to this, When PL (small cell terminal → large cell base station) is less than a predetermined value, P (MAX) becomes larger than before, and when PL (small cell terminal → large cell base station) is greater than or equal to a predetermined value. It is only necessary that P (MAX) be calculated so as to be smaller than in the past.

The cell base station 300 and the small cell base station 100 are not limited to these, and it is sufficient that the small cell formed by the small cell base station 100 is smaller than the large cell formed by the large cell base station 300. For example, when the large cell base station 300 is a macro cell base station that forms a macro cell, the small cell base station 100 can be a base station that forms a micro cell or a pico cell. When the large cell base station 300 is a micro cell base station that forms a micro cell, the small cell base station 100 can be a base station that forms a pico cell or a femto. Furthermore, when the large cell base station 300 is a pico cell base station that forms a pico cell, the small cell base station 100 can be a base station that forms a femto.
