以上が一般的な移動通信システムに関する説明であるが、更に、高速な下り方向 のデータ伝送を可能とする技術として HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access )方式が採用されることがある (非特許文献 1, 2参照)。ここで、 HSDPAについて簡 単に説明する。  The above is a description of a general mobile communication system. Furthermore, the HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) system may be adopted as a technology that enables high-speed downlink data transmission (Non-patent Document 1). , 2). Here, we will briefly explain HSDPA.
•HSDPA • HSDPA
HSDPAは、適応符号化変調方式(AMC : Adaptive Modulation and Coding)を採 用しており、例えば、 QPSK変調方式 (QPSK modulation scheme)と 16値 QAM方式 (16 QAM scheme)とを無線基地局、移動局間の無線環境に応じて適応的に切りかえ ることを特徴としている。  HSDPA employs Adaptive Code Modulation and Coding (AMC). For example, QPSK modulation scheme (QPSK modulation scheme) and 16-value QAM scheme (16 QAM scheme) It is characterized by adaptive switching according to the radio environment between stations.
また、 HSDPAは、 H— ARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest)方式を採用して いる。 H— ARQでは、移動局は無線基地局力もの受信データについて誤りを検出し た場合に、当該無線基地局に対して再送要求 (NACK信号の送信)を行う。この再 送要求を受信した無線基地局は、データの再送を行うので、移動局は、既に受信済 みのデータと、再送された受信データとの双方を用いて誤り訂正復号ィヒを行う。この ように H— ARQでは、誤りがあっても既に受信したデータを有効に利用することで、誤 り訂正復号の利得が高まり、結果的に再送回数が少なく抑えられることとなる。なお、 ACK信号を移動局力 受信した場合は、データ送信は成功であるから再送は不要 であり、次のデータの送信を行うこととなる。  HSDPA adopts the H-ARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest) method. In H-ARQ, when a mobile station detects an error in the received data of a radio base station, it makes a retransmission request (transmission of a NACK signal) to the radio base station. The radio base station that has received this retransmission request retransmits the data, so that the mobile station performs error correction decoding using both the already received data and the retransmitted received data. In this way, in H-ARQ, even if there is an error, the already received data is used effectively, increasing the gain of error correction decoding and consequently reducing the number of retransmissions. When the ACK signal is received by the mobile station, the data transmission is successful, so no retransmission is necessary, and the next data transmission is performed.
HSDPAに用いられる主な無線チャネルは、図 18に示すように (1) HS-SCCH ( High Speed-Shared Control Channel)、 (2) HS— PDSCH (High Speed-Physical Downlink Shared Channel)、 (3) HS— DPCCH (High Speed-Dedicated Physical Control Channel)かめ Ό。 The main radio channels used in HSDPA are (1) HS-SCCH ( High Speed-Shared Control Channel (2), HS—PDSCH (High Speed-Physical Downlink Shared Channel), (3) HS—High Speed-Dedicated Physical Control Channel (DPCCH).
HS— SCCH、 HS— PDSCHは、双方とも下り方向(即ち、無線基地局から移動局 への方向であるダウンリンク)の共通チャネル(shared channel)であり、 HS—SCCH は、 HS— PDSCHにて送信するデータに関する各種パラメータを送信する制御チヤ ネルである。言い換えれば、 HS— PDSCHを介してデータの送信が行われることを通 知するチャネルである。各種パラメータとしては、例えば、どの変調方式を用いて HS - PDSCHによりデータを送信するかを示す変調方式情報や、拡散符号 (spreading code)の割当て数 (コード数)、送信データに対して行うレートマッチングのパターン等 の†青報がある。  HS-SCCH and HS-PDSCH are both shared channels in the downlink direction (that is, the downlink from the radio base station to the mobile station), and HS-SCCH is defined in HS-PDSCH. This is a control channel that transmits various parameters related to the data to be transmitted. In other words, it is a channel that notifies that data is transmitted via HS-PDSCH. Various parameters include, for example, modulation scheme information indicating which modulation scheme is used to transmit data by HS-PDSCH, the number of assigned spreading codes (number of codes), and the rate for transmission data There is a blueprint for matching patterns.
一方、 HS— DPCCHは、上り方向(即ち、移動局から無線基地局への方向であるァ ップリンク)の個別の制御チャネル (dedicated control channel)であり、 HS— PDSCH を介して受信したデータのエラーの有、無に応じてそれぞれ受信結果 (ACK信号、 NACK信号)を移動局が無線基地局に対して送信する場合に用いられる。即ち、 H S— PDSCHを介して受信したデータの受信結果を送信するために用いられるチヤネ ルである。尚、移動局がデータの受信に失敗した場合 (受信データが CRCエラーで ある場合等)は、 NACK信号が移動局から送信されるので、無線基地局は再送制御 を実行することとなる。  On the other hand, the HS-DPCCH is a dedicated control channel in the uplink direction (that is, the uplink from the mobile station to the radio base station), and an error occurs in data received via the HS-PDSCH. This is used when the mobile station transmits a reception result (ACK signal, NACK signal) to the radio base station depending on whether or not there is. That is, it is a channel used to transmit the reception result of data received via H S-PDSCH. If the mobile station fails to receive data (such as when the received data is a CRC error), the NACK signal is transmitted from the mobile station, so the radio base station executes retransmission control.
その他、 HS— DPCCHは、無線基地局からの受信信号の受信品質 (例えば SIR) を測定した移動局が、その受信品質を CQI (Channel Quality Indicator)として無線基 地局に送信するためにも用いられる。すなわち、 CQIは、移動局が基地局に対して 受信環境を報告するための情報であり、 CQI= 1— 30の値をとり、その受信環境下 でブロックエラーレート BLERが 0. 1を越えない CQI値を基地局に報告する。  In addition, HS-DPCCH is also used by mobile stations that measure the reception quality (for example, SIR) of received signals from radio base stations to transmit the reception quality to the radio base station as CQI (Channel Quality Indicator). It is done. In other words, CQI is information for the mobile station to report the reception environment to the base station. CQI takes a value of 1-30, and the block error rate BLER does not exceed 0.1 under the reception environment. Report the CQI value to the base station.
無線基地局は、受信した CQI値により、下り方向の無線環境の良否を判断し、良好 であれば、より高速にデータを送信可能な変調方式に切りかえ、逆に良好でなけれ ば、より低速にデータを送信する変調方式に切りかえる (即ち、適応変調を行う)。実 際、基地局は CQI= 1— 30に応じて伝送速度の異なるフォーマットを定義する CQI テーブルを保持しており、 CQI値に応じた前記パラメータ (伝送速度、変調方式、多 重コード数等)を該テーブルより求め、 HS— SCCHで移動局に通知する。 Based on the received CQI value, the radio base station determines whether the radio environment in the downlink direction is good or not. If it is good, the radio base station switches to a modulation method capable of transmitting data at a higher speed, and vice versa. Switch to a modulation scheme that transmits data (ie, perform adaptive modulation). Actually, the base station defines a format with different transmission rates according to CQI = 1-30. A table is held, and the parameters (transmission rate, modulation method, number of multiplexed codes, etc.) corresponding to the CQI value are obtained from the table and notified to the mobile station by HS-SCCH.
·チャネル構造  · Channel structure
図 19は、 HSDPAにおけるチャネル構成説明図であり、 W— CDMAでは、符号分 割多重方式を採用するため、各チャネルは符号により分離されている。 CPICH ( Common Pilot Channel)、 SCH (Synchronization Channel)は、それぞれ下り方向の 共通チャネルである。 CPICHは、移動局においてチャネル推定、セルサーチ等に利 用されるチャネルであり、いわゆるパイロット信号を送信するためのチャネルである。 S CHは、厳密には、 P-SCH (Primary SCH)、 S— SCH (Secondary SCH)があり、各ス ロットの先頭の 256チップでバースト状に送信されるチャネルである。この SCHは、 3 段階セルサーチを行う移動局によって受信され、スロット同期、フレーム同期を確立し た  FIG. 19 is an explanatory diagram of the channel configuration in HSDPA. In W-CDMA, since the code division multiplexing system is adopted, each channel is separated by a code. CPICH (Common Pilot Channel) and SCH (Synchronization Channel) are common channels in the downlink direction. CPICH is a channel used for channel estimation, cell search, etc. in a mobile station, and is a channel for transmitting a so-called pilot signal. Strictly speaking, there are P-SCH (Primary SCH) and S-SCH (Secondary SCH), and the SCH is a channel transmitted in bursts by the first 256 chips of each slot. This SCH is received by a mobile station that performs a three-stage cell search, and slot synchronization and frame synchronization are established.
り、基地局コード (スクランブルコード)を識別するために用いられる。 SCHは 1スロット の 1Z10の長さであるが、図では広めに示している。残りの 9Z10は P-CCPCHで ある。 Used to identify the base station code (scramble code). SCH is the length of 1Z10 in 1 slot, but is shown wider in the figure. The remaining 9Z10 is P-CCPCH.
次に、チャネルのタイミング関係について説明する。各チャネルは 15個のスロットに より、 1フレーム(10ms)を構成しており、いフレームは 2560チップ長相当の長さを有 している。先に説明したように、 CPICHは他のチャネルの基準として用いられるため 、 SCH + P— CCPCH及び HS— SCCHのフレーム先頭は CPICHのフレームの先頭 と一致している。一方、 HS— PDSCHのフレームの先頭は、 HS— SCCH等に対して 2スロット遅延して 、るが、これは移動局が HS— SCCHを介して変調方式情報を受信 してから、受信した変調方式に対応する復調方式で HS— PDSCHの復調を行うこと を可能にするためである。また、 HS— SCCH、 HS— PDSCHは、 3スロットで 1サブフ レームを構成している。  Next, channel timing relationships will be described. Each channel is composed of 15 slots to form one frame (10 ms), and each frame has a length equivalent to 2560 chips. As described above, since CPICH is used as a reference for other channels, the frame head of SCH + P-CCPCH and HS-SCCH coincides with the head of the CPICH frame. On the other hand, the head of the HS-PDSCH frame is delayed by 2 slots with respect to the HS-SCCH, etc. This is because the mobile station receives the modulation method information via the HS-SCCH and then receives the modulation received. This is because HS-PDSCH can be demodulated using a demodulation method corresponding to this method. HS-SCCH and HS-PDSCH consist of 3 slots and 1 subframe.
HS— DPCCHは上り方向のチャネルであり、その第 1スロットは、 HS— PDSCHの 受信から約 7. 5スロット経過後に、 HS— PDSCHの受信結果を示す ACKZNACK 信号を移動局力も無線基地局に送信するための用いられる。また、第 2、第 3スロット は、適応変調制御のための CQI情報を定期的に基地局にフィードバック送信するた めに用いられる。ここで、送信する CQI情報は、 CQI送信の 4スロット前から 1スロット 前までの期間に測定した受信環境 (例えば、 CPICHの SIR測定結果)に基づいて算 出される。 HS—DPCCH is an uplink channel, and the first slot of the HS—DPCCH sends an ACKZNACK signal indicating the HS—PDSCH reception result to the radio base station after about 7.5 slots have elapsed since the HS—PDSCH was received. Used to do. In the second and third slots, CQI information for adaptive modulation control is periodically sent back to the base station. Used for Here, the CQI information to be transmitted is calculated based on the reception environment (for example, SIR measurement result of CPICH) measured during the period from 4 slots before 1 slot before CQI transmission.
'スケジューラ  'Scheduler
スケジューラは、回線品質、送信データレートに基づき算出される指標値により、送 信対象 (移動局)を決定するもと共に送信速度、変調方式等を決定する。スケジューラ は種々の通信システムにおいて用いられる力 ここでは、 HSDPA方式を採用した移 動通信システムに適用されるスケジューラを一例として取り上げて説明する。 HSDPA において、上述した物理ダウンリンクデータチャネル HS-PDSCHは複数移動局により 共有されるため、送信対象となる移動局の選択が必要となり、スケジューラは移動局 選択制御に携わる。図 20は HSDPAシステムにおける構成例を示したもので、 1台の 無線基地局制御装置 2に 2台の無線基地局装置 6— 6が接続し、無線基地局装置 The scheduler determines the transmission target (mobile station) and the transmission speed, modulation method, and the like based on the index value calculated based on the channel quality and the transmission data rate. The scheduler is a power used in various communication systems Here, a scheduler that is applied to a mobile communication system adopting the HSDPA method will be described as an example. In HSDPA, the physical downlink data channel HS-PDSCH described above is shared by multiple mobile stations, so it is necessary to select a mobile station to be transmitted, and the scheduler is involved in mobile station selection control. Fig. 20 shows a configuration example in the HSDPA system. Two radio base station devices 6-6 are connected to one radio base station control device 2, and the radio base station device

The transmission data volume, modulation method, power, etc. are determined based on the above, and the channel coding unit CCD is instructed. Further, the scheduler SJL requests the data addressed to each mobile station from the radio base station controller 2 based on the scheduling result (flow control). The radio base station controller 2 is addressed to each mobile station 7-7 received via the core network.

Channel coding unit CCD adds CRC code for each block to the data destined for the mobile station, encodes it for every predetermined number of blocks, and modulates each mobile by modulating with the modulation method specified by the scheduler Send to the station.
スケジューラにおけるユーザ選択アルゴリズムとして、 Maximum CIR手法と Proportional Fairness手法などが提案されている(非特許文献 3参照)。 Maximum CIR法は回線品質が良いユーザを選択する方式だ力 回線品質が悪いユーザには 割当てられず、公平性が無い。それに対して、 Proportional Fairness法は次式 As a user selection algorithm in the scheduler, the Maximum CIR method and Proportional fairness methods have been proposed (see Non-Patent Document 3). Maximum CIR method is a method to select users with good line quality. It is not assigned to users with poor line quality and there is no fairness. In contrast, the Proportional Fairness method is

·発明が解決しょうとする課題  · Problems to be solved by the invention
回線を複数ユーザで共有するような無線通信システムにお 、て、スケジューラはス ケジユーリング方式に基づき、複数のユーザ力 送信対象である移動局を選択し、下 り回線品質に応じた適応変調制御を実施する。このため、スケジューリング方式が、 全体的なセルのスループットに大きな影響を及ぼす。先に背景技術で説明した Proportional Fairness手法は、公平性を保ちながらスループットを向上させるという点 では優れている力 依然として以下の課題が内在する。  In a wireless communication system in which a line is shared by multiple users, the scheduler selects a mobile station to be transmitted by multiple users based on the scheduling method, and performs adaptive modulation control according to the downlink line quality. carry out. For this reason, scheduling schemes have a significant impact on overall cell throughput. The Proportional Fairness method described above in the background art is superior in terms of improving throughput while maintaining fairness. The following issues still remain.
(1) Proportional Fairness手法は、回線品質の変動が激しいユーザを選択しやすい 。 Proportional Fairness手法は、平均回線品質に対する瞬時値の割合を指標とするこ とにより、公平性 ·スループット両面を考慮に入れた方式である半面、劣悪な環境に あると思われる回線品質が激 、ユーザを選択しやす!/、。  (1) The Proportional Fairness method makes it easy to select users whose line quality varies greatly. The Proportional Fairness method is a method that takes into account both fairness and throughput by using the ratio of the instantaneous value to the average line quality as an index, but the line quality that seems to be in a poor environment is intense, Easy to choose! / ,.
(2) Proportional Fairness手法は、データ種別を考慮に入れた方式ではない。同じ ようなデータ量でも、 E-mailのようなリアルタイム性が無いものは、送信間隔は長くても 良いが、音声のようなリアルタイム性が要求されるものは、送信間隔を短くする必要が ある。もし、このようなデータ種別による特性を全く考慮に入れてないと、リアルタイム 性をさほど要求しないものに対し、頻繁に割当てたり、逆にリアルタイム性が高いもの に割当てられな力つたりして、無線リソースの効率利用ができない。 (3) Proportional Fairness手法は、 CQI毎のエラーレートを考慮に入れた方式では ない。 HSDPAでは回線品質 (CQI)に応じて目標エラーレート (ブロックエラーレート = 0. 1)となるように送信するデータ量を決めている。しかし、場所や時間により伝搬環 境が異なると端末の性能により移動局でのエラーレートが変わってくる。かかる場合、 全ユーザにおいて CQI毎のエラーレートを均一化、すなわち 0. 1にすることは困難 で、そのバラつきを考慮に入れる必要がある。 (2) The Proportional Fairness method is not a method that takes into account the data type. Even if the amount of data is the same, the transmission interval may be long for those that do not have real-time properties, such as e-mail, but the transmission interval needs to be shortened if real-time properties such as voice are required. . If the characteristics of such data types are not taken into account at all, it will be assigned frequently to those that do not require real-time characteristics so much, or conversely, they will not be assigned to those that have high real-time characteristics. Wireless resources cannot be used efficiently. (3) The Proportional Fairness method is not a method that takes into account the error rate for each CQI. In HSDPA, the amount of data to be transmitted is determined according to the line quality (CQI) so that the target error rate (block error rate = 0.1) is achieved. However, if the propagation environment varies depending on the location and time, the error rate at the mobile station varies depending on the terminal performance. In such a case, it is difficult for all users to make the error rate for each CQI uniform, that is, 0.1, and it is necessary to take this variation into consideration.
(4) Proportional Fairness手法は、再送回数毎のエラーレートを考慮に入れた方式 ではない。 HSDPAにおいては、 H— ARQを実装しており、誤りがあっても既に受信し たデータを有効に利用することで、誤り訂正復号の利得を高めており、再送回数が多 くなればエラーレートが小さくなる。従って、再送回数毎のエラーレートを考慮に入れ る必要がある。ところで、再送回数とエラーレートの関係(再送回数と利得の関係)は 伝搬環境に応じて異なる。そこで、伝播環境に応じた再送回数とエラーレートの関係 を考慮に入れる必要がある。  (4) The Proportional Fairness method is not a method that takes into account the error rate for each retransmission. In HSDPA, H-ARQ is implemented, and even if there is an error, the gain of error correction decoding is increased by effectively using the received data. If the number of retransmissions increases, the error rate Becomes smaller. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the error rate for each retransmission. By the way, the relationship between the number of retransmissions and the error rate (the relationship between the number of retransmissions and the gain) varies depending on the propagation environment. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account the relationship between the number of retransmissions and the error rate according to the propagation environment.
(5) Proportional Fairness手法は上り無線同期状態を考慮に入れた方式ではない。 選択候補ユーザは上り同期確立して 、ることが前提だが、上り同期が安定してな ヽ 移動局を選択することがあり得る。すなわち、完全同期状態ではなぐ前方'後方保 護状態の移動局を選択することが有り得る。完全同期状態とは常にパイロット同期が 確立している状態を、前方保護状態とは同期外れ状態からパイロット同期が一回以 上確立した後、前方保護段数分パイロット同期が上がってない状態を、後方保護状 態とは、完全同期状態からパイロット同期が一回以上外れた後、後方保護段数分パ ィロット同期は上がってない状態を指す。前方'後方保護状態においては、概して同 期状態が不安定なことが多ぐその際は、 HS-DPCCHデータの受信確率が低下し、 再送処理が増加するため、セルのスループットが低  (5) The Proportional Fairness method is not a method that takes into account the uplink radio synchronization state. The selection candidate user is assumed to have established uplink synchronization, but it is possible to select a mobile station for which uplink synchronization is stable. That is, it is possible to select a mobile station that is in the forward and rearward protection state rather than in the fully synchronized state. The full synchronization state always indicates that the pilot synchronization has been established, and the forward protection state indicates that the pilot synchronization has been established at least once from the out-of-synchronization state, and then the state where the pilot synchronization has not increased by the number of forward protection stages. The protection state refers to a state in which pilot synchronization has not increased by the number of backward protection stages after pilot synchronization has been removed one or more times from the complete synchronization state. In the forward and backward protection state, the synchronization state is often unstable. In this case, the reception probability of HS-DPCCH data decreases and retransmission processing increases, so the cell throughput is low.
下する。そのため、上り同期状態を考慮に入れる必要がある。 I will give you. Therefore, it is necessary to take the uplink synchronization state into consideration.
以上より、本発明の目的は、 Proportional Fairness手法をベースに、上記 (1)一 (5)の 課題を解決し、かつ、より高いスループットを実現できるスケジューリング方法及び基 地局装置を提供することである。  As described above, an object of the present invention is to provide a scheduling method and a base station apparatus that can solve the problems (1), (1) and (5) above and can achieve higher throughput based on the Proportional Fairness technique. is there.

第 1の本発明においてスケジューラは、回線品質の分散値、または、フェージング 周波数推定結果を Proportional Fairness手法に反映する。これにより、回線品質の変 動が激しい、または、フェージング周波数が高い移動局を選択しに《する。  In the first aspect of the present invention, the scheduler reflects the variance value of the channel quality or the fading frequency estimation result in the Proportional Fairness method. As a result, a mobile station with a severe change in channel quality or a high fading frequency is selected.
また、第 2の発明においてスケジューラは、データ種別に応じた所要送信間隔を Proportional Fairness手法に反映し、所要送信間隔が短いデータ (リアルタイム性の 高い音声などのデータ)を送信している移動局を優先的に選択する。  Further, in the second invention, the scheduler reflects the required transmission interval according to the data type in the Proportional Fairness method, so that the mobile station transmitting data with a short required transmission interval (data such as voice with high real-time property) is transmitted. Select with priority.
また、第 3の発明においてスケジューラは、 CQI毎の誤り率を Proportional Fairness 手法に反映し、誤り率の低い CQIを受信した移動局を優先的に選択する。  In the third invention, the scheduler reflects the error rate for each CQI in the Proportional Fairness method and preferentially selects a mobile station that has received a CQI with a low error rate.

また、第 5の発明においてスケジューラは、移動局が完全同期状態に有る力否かを Proportional Fairness手法に反映し、完全同期状態の移動局を優先的に選択する。 第 1の発明によれば、回線品質の変動が激しい、または、フ ージング周波数が高 い場合、上り Z下り受信特性が劣化する傾向にあり、そういった移動局を選択しに《 することにより、セル全体の誤り率が低くなり、スループットが向上する。  In the fifth invention, the scheduler reflects in the Proportional Fairness method whether or not the mobile station is in a completely synchronized state, and preferentially selects a completely synchronized mobile station. According to the first invention, when the channel quality fluctuates drastically or the forging frequency is high, the uplink Z downlink reception characteristics tend to deteriorate. By selecting such a mobile station, the cell is selected. The overall error rate is lowered and the throughput is improved.
第 2の発明によれば、所要送信間隔が短いデータを送受信する移動局を優先的に 選択し、所要送信間隔が長い移動局に回線を割当てないことにより、データ種別に 応じた最適な回線割当を可能とする。  According to the second aspect of the present invention, an optimal line allocation according to the data type is performed by preferentially selecting a mobile station that transmits and receives data with a short required transmission interval and not allocating a line to a mobile station with a long required transmission interval.

第 3の発明によれば、誤り率の低い CQIを受信した移動局を優先的に選択すること により、セル全体の誤り率が低くなり、スループットが向上する。  According to the third aspect, by preferentially selecting a mobile station that has received a CQI having a low error rate, the error rate of the entire cell is lowered and the throughput is improved.
第 4の発明によれば、誤り率の低い再送回数の移動局を優先的に選択することによ り、セル全体の誤り率が低くなり、スループットが向上する。 第 5の発明によれば、確実に同期が取れている移動局を優先的に選択することによ り、 ACK/NACKの受信確率が向上し、 DTX受信 (無送信)に伴う再送回数を低減でき 、スループットが向上する。また、信頼度が低い CQIに基づくデータ送信をする可能 性が小さくなるため、回線品質の割にデータ量が多い場合の誤り率増カロ、データ量 が少な ヽ場合の送信レート低下と ヽぅスループット低下要因を排除できる。 According to the fourth invention, by preferentially selecting a mobile station having a low number of retransmissions with a low error rate, the error rate of the entire cell is lowered and the throughput is improved. According to the fifth aspect of the invention, the ACK / NACK reception probability is improved by preferentially selecting mobile stations that are reliably synchronized, and the number of retransmissions associated with DTX reception (no transmission) is reduced. Can improve throughput. Also, since the possibility of data transmission based on CQI with low reliability is reduced, the error rate increases when the amount of data is large compared to the line quality, and the transmission rate decreases and the throughput decreases when the amount of data is small The factor of decline can be eliminated.

符号を付している。異なる点はフ ージング周波数推定部 21が設けられている点、 及び、スケジューラがフェージング周波数に基づいて指標値を補正し、補正指標値 に基づいてスケジューリングする点である。すなわち、第 2実施例において、スケジュ ーラ 15は、フェージング周波数を Proportional Fairness手法に反映する。 The code | symbol is attached | subjected. The different points are that a fusing frequency estimation unit 21 is provided, and that the scheduler corrects the index value based on the fading frequency and schedules based on the corrected index value. That is, in the second embodiment, the scheduler 15 reflects the fading frequency in the Proportional Fairness method.
図 4はフェージング周波数 fdを加味したスケジューリング処理フローである。まず、チ ャネル推定部 13は DPCCHのパイロット信号を基に、無線空間における位相回転量、 振幅変動量を推定 (チャネル推定)し、 ACKZCQI復号部 14とフェージング周波数 推定部 21に入力する (ステップ 201)。フェージング周波数推定部 21は、チャネル推 定結果の時間相関より、フェージング周波数 fdを推定し、スケジューラ 15に通知する ( ステップ 202)。フェージング周波数推定方法は種々提案されており、例えば、パイ口 ット信号の時間相関を用いてフェージング周波数を推定する方式 (特願 2000-179609 参照)がある。  Figure 4 shows the scheduling process flow with the fading frequency fd taken into account. First, channel estimation section 13 estimates the amount of phase rotation and amplitude fluctuation in the radio space (channel estimation) based on the DPCCH pilot signal, and inputs it to ACKZCQI decoding section 14 and fading frequency estimation section 21 (step 201). ). The fading frequency estimation unit 21 estimates the fading frequency fd from the time correlation of the channel estimation result and notifies the scheduler 15 (step 202). Various fading frequency estimation methods have been proposed. For example, there is a method (see Japanese Patent Application No. 2000-179609) that estimates the fading frequency using the time correlation of the pie signal.
また、 ACKZCQI復号部 14はチャネル推定値に基づいて ACKZNACK, CQI を同期検波し、誤り検出訂正処理を施し、 HS— DPCCHで送られてくる HARQ受信 結果 (ACKまたは NAC :)、 CQIを復号してスケジューラ 15に入力する (ステップ 203)。 同様に、全移動局カゝら送られてくる HARQ受信結果 (ACKまたは NACK)を復号してス ケジユーラ 15に入力する。  Also, the ACKZCQI decoding unit 14 detects ACKZNACK and CQI synchronously based on the channel estimation value, performs error detection and correction processing, decodes the HARQ reception result (ACK or NAC :) and CQI sent on the HS-DPCCH.

(F)第 6実施例  (F) Sixth embodiment
図 14は第 6実施例の基地局装置の構成図であり、図 1の第 1実施例と同一部分に は同一符号を付している。異なる点は、  FIG. 14 is a block diagram of the base station apparatus according to the sixth embodiment. Components identical with those of the first embodiment shown in FIG. The difference is
(1)移動局の上り無線同期状態を監視し、監視結果をスケジューラ 15に入力する同 期状態監視部 61が設けられている点、  (1) A synchronization state monitoring unit 61 that monitors the uplink radio synchronization state of the mobile station and inputs the monitoring result to the scheduler 15 is provided.
(2)各移動局の同期状態を保存する同期状態記憶部 62が設けられている点、 (2) A synchronization state storage unit 62 for storing the synchronization state of each mobile station is provided,
(3)スケジューラが移動局の無線同期状態を考慮してスケジューリングする点、 である。同期状態監視部 61は、移動局から送られてくる個別物理制御チャネル DPC CHに含まれているパイロットを用いて同期が確立した力、同期外れになったか監視 する。すなわち、パイロットは既知パターンであるから受信パイロットと既知パイロットを 比較し、差力 、さければ同期確立、差が大きければ同期外れであると判断する。この 差はチャネル推定値に相当するため、同期状態監視部 61は、チャネル推定値に基 づいて同期状態を監視する。 (3) The scheduler performs scheduling in consideration of the radio synchronization state of the mobile station. The synchronization status monitoring unit 61 is a dedicated physical control channel DPC sent from the mobile station. Use the pilots included in the CH to monitor the power established and out of sync. That is, since the pilot is a known pattern, the received pilot and the known pilot are compared, and it is determined that the differential force is established, the synchronization is established, and if the difference is large, the synchronization is lost. Since this difference corresponds to the channel estimation value, the synchronization state monitoring unit 61 monitors the synchronization state based on the channel estimation value.
第 6実施例において、スケジューラ 15は完全同期状態の移動局を優先して選択し 、完全同期状態の移動局が存在しない場合にのみ、前方'後方保護状態の UEを選 択する。図 15は無線同期状態をカ卩味した第 6実施例のスケジューリング処理フロー である。なお、 MAX_UE_SELは移動局選択可能数である。移動局選択可能数は、一 般的に残電力、コードリソースにより決定される力 ここでは、そのアルゴリズムの説明 が主ではないため、何らかの手法により移動局選択可能数が決定され、それに基づ き本スケジューリング方式を用いて、移動局を選択するものとする。  In the sixth embodiment, the scheduler 15 preferentially selects a mobile station in a completely synchronized state, and selects a UE in a forward and backward protected state only when there is no mobile station in a completely synchronized state. FIG. 15 shows a scheduling process flow of the sixth embodiment that takes into account the wireless synchronization state. MAX_UE_SEL is the number of selectable mobile stations. The number of mobile stations that can be selected is generally determined by the remaining power and code resources. Since the algorithm is not mainly described here, the number of mobile stations that can be selected is determined by some method. It is assumed that a mobile station is selected using this scheduling method.
同期状態監視 61部は、対象セル内に存在する全ての移動局 UE#n (n= l— N)に 対し、完全同期状態か前方 ·後方保護状態かを監視し、完全同期状態であれば Synchronization state monitoring 61 monitors whether all mobile stations UE # n (n = l-N) existing in the target cell are in full synchronization or forward / backward protection.
UE_SYNC [kl]=UE#n UE_SYNC [kl] = UE # n
とし、前方'後方保護状態であれば And if it is in the front 'rear protection state'
UE.NOSYNC [k2]=UE#n  UE.NOSYNC [k2] = UE # n
とする (ステップ 601— 608)。図 16は同期状態遷移図であり、同期状態記憶部 62は 移動局が同期外れ状態、前方保護状態、完全同期状態、後方保護状態のどの状態 にあるかを記憶する。 (Steps 601 to 608). FIG. 16 is a synchronization state transition diagram, and the synchronization state storage unit 62 stores whether the mobile station is in an out-of-synchronization state, a forward protection state, a complete synchronization state, or a backward protection state.
•同期外れ状態:移動局が最初に属する状態で、この移動局とは通信ができない状 態である。 1回でも同期が確立すると前方保護状態へ移行する。  • Out-of-synchronization state: A state in which the mobile station belongs first, and communication with this mobile station is not possible. When synchronization is established even once, it shifts to the forward protection state.
•前方保護状態:完全同期状態へ移行する前段階で、移動局と通信は可能である 。 N1回連続で同期が確立すると、完全同期状態に、 1回でも同期が外れると同期外 れ状態に移行。なお、 N1は伝播環境等の外部環境や装置の特性等により最適値に 設定する。  • Forward protection state: Communication with the mobile station is possible before the transition to the fully synchronized state. When synchronization is established N1 times continuously, it shifts to the complete synchronization state, and once synchronization is lost, it shifts to the synchronization loss state. N1 is set to the optimum value according to the external environment such as the propagation environment and the characteristics of the equipment.
•完全同期状態:安定的に移動局と通信が可能な状態である。 1回でも同期が外れ ると、後方保護状態へ移行する。 •後方保護状態:同期外れへ移行する可能性がある段階で、移動局と通信は可能 である。 N2回 (システムにより決定)連続で同期が外れると、同期外れ状態になり、 1回 でも同期が確立すると完全同期状態に移行。なお、 N2は伝播環境等の外部環境や 装置の特性等により最適値を設定する。 • Completely synchronized state: A state where communication with a mobile station is possible stably. If synchronization is lost even once, it will shift to the backward protection state. • Backward protection state: Communication with the mobile station is possible at the stage where there is a possibility of going out of synchronization. N2 times (determined by the system) If synchronization is lost continuously, it will be out of synchronization, and once synchronization is established, it will transition to full synchronization. N2 is set to an optimum value according to the external environment such as the propagation environment and the characteristics of the equipment.
[0020] 各移動局の同期状態が同期状態記憶部 62に保存されている状態において、チヤ ネル推定部 13は、 DPCCHのノ ィロット信号を基に、無線空間における位相回転量、 振幅変動量を推定し (チャネル推定)、推定結果を ACKZCQI復号部 14へ通知する [0020] In a state in which the synchronization state of each mobile station is stored in the synchronization state storage unit 62, the channel estimation unit 13 calculates the phase rotation amount and amplitude fluctuation amount in the radio space based on the DPCCH pilot signal. Estimate (channel estimation), and notify the ACKZCQI decoding unit 14 of the estimation result
ACKZCQI復号部 14は ACKZNACK、 CQIを復号し、スケジューラ 15へ送信し 、スケジューラ 15は、該 HARQ受信結果 (ACKZNACK)により、送信対象データ (新 規または再送)を決定する。 The ACKZCQI decoding unit 14 decodes ACKZNACK and CQI, and transmits them to the scheduler 15. The scheduler 15 determines transmission target data (new or retransmission) based on the HARQ reception result (ACKZNACK).

この際、 UE_SYNC [kl]に格納されている全 UE数 K1と MAX_UE_SELの大小比較に より、上記の C の計算対象となる移動局を決定する。すなわち、  At this time, the mobile station that is subject to the calculation of C is determined by comparing the total number of UEs K1 stored in UE_SYNC [kl] with the MAX_UE_SEL. That is,

Kl≥ MAX_UE_SELであれば UE_SYNC [kl]に格納されている移動局、すなわち、 完全同期状態にある移動局のみを対象とする。一方、 K1 < MAX_UE_SELであれば、 全移動局が対象 (UE_SYNC,UE_NOSYNCそれぞれに格納されている移動局)が対象 となる。  If Kl ≥ MAX_UE_SEL, only the mobile stations stored in UE_SYNC [kl], that is, the mobile stations in the fully synchronized state are targeted. On the other hand, if K1 <MAX_UE_SEL, all mobile stations are targeted (mobile stations stored in UE_SYNC and UE_NOSYNC, respectively).
[0021] 対象となる全移動局の指標値の計算が終了すれば、スケジューラ 15は、図 15の下 段の処理フロー (ステップ 701— 704)に従って移動局を選択する。すなわち、 kが移 動局選択可能数 (MAX_UE_SEL)に達するまで、あるいは、 UE_SYNCに格納されてい る全移動局数に達するまで、同期状態 UE_SYNCの移動局から C の高い順に選択  [0021] When the calculation of index values of all target mobile stations is completed, the scheduler 15 selects a mobile station according to the lower processing flow (steps 701 to 704) in FIG. In other words, until k reaches the mobile station selectable number (MAX_UE_SEL) or until the total number of mobile stations stored in UE_SYNC is reached, select from the mobile stations in the synchronized state UE_SYNC in descending order of C.

第 6実施例によれば、確実に同期が取れている移動局を優先的に選択することに より、 ACK/NACKの受信確率が向上し、 DTX受信 (無送信)に伴う再送回数を低減で き、スループットが向上する。また、信頼度が低い CQIに基づくデータ送信をする可 能性が小さくなるため、回線品質の割にデータ量が多い場合の誤り率増力!]、データ 量が少な!/ヽ場合の送信レート低下と!/ヽぅスループット低下要因を排除できる。  According to the sixth embodiment, by preferentially selecting mobile stations that are reliably synchronized, the reception probability of ACK / NACK is improved, and the number of retransmissions associated with DTX reception (no transmission) can be reduced.
