Therefore, as wireless terminal MS, relay station RS selects to be included in a CDMA code in the BW Req code-group, and it is sent to wireless base station BS (S11).
The wireless base station BS that receives this BW Req code can not specify the relay station RS that sends this code.Therefore, wireless base station BS will comprise that CDMA distributes the UL-MAP message of IE to send to relay station RS, is enough to let relay station RS send frequency band channel request message, on uplink direction (S12) so that distribute.CDMA distribution IE comprises the value that comprises this code, the information that transmits timing, subchannel and frame number index.Then, relay station RS uses the channel on the uplink direction that is distributed, and (BW Req GMH) sends to wireless base station BS (S13) with the frequency band request message.
The frequency band request message is used for asking including for transmission the required frequency band of message (the BW Req Msg of Fig. 1) of the information of closing the code that relay station RS receives.Wireless base station BS distributes IE to send to wireless terminal MS (S16) CDMA based on BW Req Msg subsequently.
Then, wireless base station BS judges whether bandwidth assignment is possible, and when possibility, uses UL-MAP message to distribute predetermined frequency band (S14) to relay station RS.
Relay station RS uses the predetermined frequency band distributed and will transmit informational message (BW Req Msg) and send to wireless base station BS, and wherein this transmission informational message is used for from the wireless base station BS to the bandwidth assignment (S15) of wireless terminal MS.

Then, wireless base station BS sends to wireless terminal MS and comprises that CDMA distributes the UL-MAP message (S16) of IE.
Then, wireless terminal MS send frequency band request message (BW Req GMH) from the frequency band be used for asking being used for transfer data packets to relay station RS (S17).
Relay station RS sends BW Req code once more to wireless base station BS, so that receive the bandwidth assignment (S18) that is used for the frequency band request message is sent to wireless base station BS.
Wireless base station BS allocated frequency band (S19), and relay station RS uses the frequency band that is distributed, the frequency band request message (S20) that transmission receives from wireless terminal MS.
Wireless base station BS judge bandwidth assignment whether maybe, and maybe the time use UL-MAP to divide to be used in the frequency band (S21) that sends packet to wireless terminal MS.
Wireless terminal MS sends to relay station RS (S22) with packet.
Then, in order to receive the bandwidth assignment that is used for packet is sent to wireless base station BS, relay station RS sends BW Req code (S23) to wireless base station BS.Wireless base station BS is used in the frequency band (S24) that sends frequency band request message (BW Req GMH) for relay station RS divides, and uses this frequency band, and relay station RS sends frequency band request message, the bandwidth assignment (S25) that is used to send packet with reception.Wireless base station BS divides the frequency band (S26) that is used in the transmission packet to relay station RS, and relay station RS uses this frequency band that packet is sent to wireless base station BS (S27).
To describe Fig. 2 now, wherein relay station RS generates and is used for the UL-MAP message to wireless terminal MS allocated frequency band.
At first, wireless terminal MS sends to relay station RS (S30) with BW Req code.The example in Fig. 1; In order to let relay station RS distribute IE to send to wireless terminal MS CDMA; Wireless terminal MS must be by the information of the value of notice such as code and transmission timing and subchannel; Therefore send this BW Req code, so that receive the distribution of the frequency band that is enough to be used in sending this information.
Then, the relay station RS CDMA that will have an institute's allocated frequency band that is used to send the frequency band request message distributes IE to send to wireless terminal MS (S31).
Wireless terminal MS uses the frequency band distributed to send frequency band request message (BW Req GMH), is used to send the distribution (S32) of the frequency band of packet with reception.
Relay station RS uses UL-MAP message to come to wireless terminal MS allocated frequency band (S33) based on the frequency band request message.
Wireless terminal MS uses the frequency band that is distributed, and packet is sent to relay station RS (S34).
Relay station RS uses BW Req code, and request wireless base station BS divide the frequency band (S35) that is used in the transmission received data packet.
Wireless base station BS sends the CDMA with the institute's allocated frequency band that is used to send the frequency band request message to relay station RS and distributes IE (S36); And use this frequency band; Relay station RS sends the frequency band request message to base station BS, so that receive the distribution (S37) of the frequency band that is used to send packet.
Wireless base station BS uses UL-MAP distribution of messages frequency band (S38), and relay station RS uses the frequency band distributed, and packet is sent to wireless base station BS (S39).
As stated, according to top example, packet can use the frequency band that distributes to send to wireless base station BS via relay station RS from wireless terminal MS, thereby can suitably carry out bandwidth assignment through sequentially sending code, message etc. via relay station RS.
Second embodiment
To Fig. 9 second embodiment is described referring now to Fig. 3.
Second embodiment is the example when processing speed is higher than the processing speed of first embodiment.In a second embodiment; From wireless terminal MS receive be included in be used for bandwidth request predetermined C DMA code (burst) group (for example; The predetermined specific CDMA code (for example, code 4) that the relay station RS of a CDMA code code 1,2,3) will be used for bandwidth request sends to wireless base station BS.
In other words, relay station uses the different code of CDMA code that is used for bandwidth request with wireless terminal MS, as the particular code that is used for bandwidth request.
It is not from wireless terminal MS but from given trunk station RS that the wireless base station BS that receives this particular code identifies bandwidth request, and distributes required transmission band (predetermined frequency band) to relay station RS, and relay station RS sends the frequency band request message.
If a plurality of relay station RS are present under the wireless base station BS, then preferably in advance for each relay station distributes particular code, so that each relay station uses institute's assigned code as particular code.There are a plurality of relay stations even this is, also can come designate relay stations according to the type of code.
After wireless terminal MS allocated frequency band; Can expect that relay station RS will be sent to wireless base station BS from wireless terminal MS transmitting data; Thereby BS distributes in order to transmit the required frequency band (S46) of next message (referring to the S47 Fig. 3) to relay station automatically from the wireless base station; So that omit bandwidth assignment request, can suppress processing delay thus from relay station RS.
As first embodiment, wireless communication system has wireless terminal MS, relay station RS and wireless base station BS.Fig. 3 is the figure of diagram according to the example of the bandwidth assignment sequence of second embodiment.
At first, as first embodiment, for the distribution of the BS frequency acceptance band from the wireless base station, the code that wireless terminal MS will be included in the BW Req code-group that is used for wireless terminal sends to relay station RS (S40).
Relay station RS sends to wireless base station BS (S41) with specific BW Req code.This code is to allocate particular code to relay station RS (other code of code phase region that can use with wireless terminal) in advance.The wireless base station BS that receives this particular code can specify the relay station RS that sends this code.
Example when Fig. 3 is shown in wireless terminal MS transmission BW Req code, but different code (will describe details) can be sent in the same way at the 9th embodiment such as the code that is used for finding range.
Therefore, according to second embodiment, some in a plurality of CDMA codes not only is assigned to above-mentioned four application, also is assigned to relay station RS, so that obtain predetermined frequency band.(this for following to describe the 3rd with more after embodiment be identical).
For example when relay station RS is connected to wireless base station BS, can carry out code to the distribution particular B W of relay station RS Req.For example; This distribution can be included in the following message, and for example BS sends to ranging response message (RNG-RSP (ranging response)), basic function response message (SBC-RSP (SS basic capabilities response)) and the registration reply message (REG-RSP (register response)) of relay station RS from the wireless base station.
Then, wireless base station BS uses the particular code that is received to specify transfer source relay station RS, and uses UL-MAP message, divides to be used in to relay station RS and sends the predetermined frequency band (S42) that transmits informational message (BW Req Msg).In other words, when wireless base station BS received particular code, wireless base station BS divided the predetermined frequency band that is used in transmission transmission informational message automatically to relay station RS.
As first embodiment, the transmission informational message comprises for wireless base station BS distributes IE to send to the required information of wireless terminal MS (for example, frame number index, range finding code, range finding code element, range finding subchannel) CDMA.
In addition, as first embodiment, UL-MAP message comprises: Duration is used to the frequency band of indicating to distribute; CID (connection identifier (CID) is used for sign and connects; And UIUC, be used for presentation code method and modulator approach.Owing to specified distribution target relay RS, therefore also can specify CID, and forced coding and the modulator approach that can use UIUC to specify to be used for relay station RS.
For BS receives particular code in wireless base station time search transfer source relay station RS, the illustrated first admin table T1 is stored among the wireless base station BS in Fig. 4 A.This is the table of expression and the corresponding relay station RS of each particular code.Suppose each relay station RS and wireless base station BS based on shared in advance information such as RNG-RSP, so that specify each particular code and each relay station RS.
Turn back to Fig. 3, then, relay station RS uses the frequency band that is distributed to send and transmits informational message (S43).Because when relay station RS storage reception result when wireless terminal MS receives code, therefore, each information that is included in the transmission informational message is ready for being sent to wireless base station BS.
Then, wireless base station BS generates based on transmitting informational message and comprises that CDMA distributes the UL-MAP message of IE, and sends it to wireless terminal MS (S44).
Use the frequency band that distributes IE to distribute through CDMA, wireless terminal MS sends to relay station RS (S45) with frequency band request message (BW Req GMH).
Here, relay station RS requires to be used in the frequency band that this frequency band request message is sent to wireless base station BS by wireless base station BS branch, but in this case, does not send the BWReq code to wireless base station BS.This is because distribute IE (S44) afterwards sending CDMA, and when from the reception of BW Req GMH in the past during the scheduled time, wireless base station BS automatically divides to relay station RS and is used in the frequency band (S46) that sends frequency band request message (BW Req GMH).Preferably, among RNG-REQ, SBC-REQ and the REG-REQ that sends when beginning with being connected of wireless base station BS at relay station RS one should the scheduled time (details will be described in the back among the 8th embodiment) to wireless base station BS notice from relay station RS.This scheduled time can be that relay station sends the BW required processing time of Req GMH.
Relay station RS uses the frequency band that is distributed, and (BW Req GMH) sends to wireless base station BS (S47) from wireless terminal MS with the frequency band request message.
Wireless base station BS judges based on the frequency band request message that is received whether bandwidth assignment maybe and use UL-MAP message to wireless terminal MS allocated frequency band (S48).
Wireless terminal MS uses the frequency band that is distributed, and packet is sent to relay station RS (S49).
As stated, relay station RS does not send the BW Req code that expression is used for packet is sent to the frequency band request of wireless base station BS.Wireless base station BS uses UL-MAP message to distribute the frequency band (S48) that is enough to send packet.Then, consider the processing delay among the relay station RS, after pass by at the fixed time, be enough to send the frequency band (S50) of the data volume that wireless terminal MS can send to relay station RS distribution.When beginning to connect, also use RNG-REQ etc. to notify this processing delay to wireless base station BS.
Relay station RS uses the frequency band that is distributed, and packet is sent to wireless base station BS (S51) from wireless terminal MS.
By this way; According to second embodiment; The relay station RS that receives BW Req code from wireless terminal MS sends to wireless base station BS with particular B W Req code, and when receiving this code, wireless base station BS distributes to relay station RS and is enough to send the predetermined frequency band that transmits informational message.Therefore, even relay station RS also distributes predetermined frequency band by wireless base station BS to relay station RS, thereby can carry out required bandwidth assignment at a high speed not to wireless base station BS request frequency band.Specifically, second embodiment can carry out the bandwidth assignment faster than first embodiment, because do not carry out the S12 of first embodiment and the processing among the S13.
Equally; When relay station RS with the frequency band request message when wireless terminal MS sends to wireless base station BS; Relay station RS is not to wireless base station BS request frequency band, and alternatively, wireless base station BS distributes the frequency band that is enough to send the frequency band request message to wireless terminal MS; And after passing by at the fixed time, wireless base station BS distributes to relay station RS is enough to let relay station RS the frequency band request message sent to the frequency band of wireless base station BS.Therefore, relay station RS need not send BW Req code to wireless base station BS, and can improve processing speed.
Equally, for from wireless terminal MS transfer data packets, wireless base station BS allocated frequency band; Consider processing delay then; After passing by at the fixed time, wireless base station BS distributes to relay station RS and is enough to send the frequency band of packet, thereby can improve the speed of bandwidth assignment and need not to send the frequency band request.
Fig. 4 B is the flow chart of the processing when being shown in wireless base station BS and receiving BW Req code, and Fig. 5 is the flow chart of the processing when being shown in wireless base station BS allocated frequency band.
Shown in Fig. 4 B, when receiving BW Req code (S60), wireless base station BS judge this code whether be relay station RS particular code (particular B W Req code) (S61).If it is particular code (" being "), then wireless base station BS generates and adds the UL-MAP message that has with the corresponding CID of this code, Duration and UUIC, and this UL-MAP message is sent to relay station RS (S62).This be with Fig. 3 in the corresponding processing of S42.
On the other hand, if not particular code (being " denying " in S61), then wireless base station BS generates the additional UL-MAP message that has CDMA to distribute IE, and this UL-MAP message is sent to relay station RS.This be with Fig. 1 in the corresponding processing of S12.After this repeat this processing.
For the processing after bandwidth assignment, as shown in Figure 5, wireless base station BS judges whether to wireless terminal MS allocated frequency band (S70), and is recycled and reused for the processing (circulation of N) of bandwidth assignment.This be with Fig. 3 in S44 and the corresponding processing of S48.
If carry out bandwidth assignment (in S70, being " being "), then wireless base station BS judges that whether the wireless terminal MS that is assigned with frequency band is via relay station RS communication (S71).For example, wireless base station BS has the admin table of the communication path that is used to represent each wireless terminal MS, and shows to carry out this judgement with reference to this.
If not via relay station RS (" denying "), then wireless base station BS gets back to S70, and reprocessing.If via relay station RS (in S71, being " being "), after then passing by at the fixed time, wireless base station BS is to relay station RS allocated frequency band (S72).This be with Fig. 3 in S46 and the corresponding processing of S50.After this repeat this processing.
The structure example of wireless base station will be described now.Fig. 6 is the block diagram of the structure example of diagram wireless base station BS.Wireless base station BS has receiving element 11, control messages extraction unit 12, bag reconstruction unit 13, NW interface unit 14, code receiving element 15, MAP information generating unit 16, control messages analytic unit 17, bag recognition unit 18, bag buffer cell 19, PDU generation unit 120 and delivery unit 21.
When antenna 22 receives code, receiving element 11 outputs to code receiving element 15 with the information of relevant code.When receiving message or packet but not during code, receiving element 11 outputs to control messages extraction unit 12 with it.
Control messages extraction unit 12 extracts the control messages such as frequency band request message (BW Req GMH), and it is outputed to control messages analytic unit 17.Other user encapsulates and outputs to bag reconstruction unit 13, and sends to mainframe network via NW interface unit 14.
Code receiving element 15 is with outputing to MAP information generating unit 16 about the code that received with the information of the corresponding allocated frequency band amount of code value (amount (amount that is used for BW Req GMH) that is used for the frequency band request message).
If the code value that is received is particular code (a particular B W Req code), then code receiving element 15 notice MAP information generating unit 16 are used for the UL-MAP to relay station RS distribution predetermined frequency band with generation.Consideration will be used for modulator approach of communicating by letter and the coding method with relay station RS, carries out bandwidth assignment.
On the other hand, under the situation of other code, transfer source that can not appointment codes, thus code receiving element 15 request MAP information generating unit 16 use CDMA to distribute the IE allocated frequency bands.
Control messages analytic unit 17 is analyzed the frequency band request messages and is specified transmission node (for example based on the CID of this message; Relay station RS), and request MAP information generating unit 16 consider to be used for the modulator approach of communicating by letter and coding method and distribute required frequency band with transmission node.
MAP information generating unit 16 generates MAP information based on the information from code receiving element 15 or control messages analytic unit 17.For the bag that the downlink side that is received via NW interface unit 14 by bag recognition unit 18 makes progress, bag recognition unit 18 is judged target wireless terminals MS and QoS (service quality) classification, and notifies this information to MAP information generating unit 16.Based on this information, MAP information generating unit 16 generates and sends the MAL information (DL-MAP) that downlink side makes progress.
When in the scheduled time in past after wireless terminal MS allocated frequency band, MAP information generating unit 16 is to the relay station RS allocated frequency band of communicating by letter of relaying with wireless terminal MS.In this case, the modulation when wireless terminal MS communicates by letter with relay station RS can be with different when relay station RS communicates by letter with wireless base station BS, so that distribute the frequency band that is enough in these two communications, transmit same quantity of data with coding method (comprising code rate).
For example; If the modulator approach of wireless terminal MS is that QPSK and its code rate are 1/2; And if the modulator approach of relay station RS is that 16QAM and its code rate are 1/2, the bandwidth that then will distribute to the frequency band of relay station RS can be to distribute to frequency band half the of wireless terminal MS.
Same under the situation of down link; When scheduled time past tense; After the data that are addressed to wireless terminal MS are sent to relay station RS; Even without receiving the frequency band request from relay station RS, MAP information generating unit 16 also divides to be used in lets relay station RS these data sent to the frequency band of wireless terminal MS.Use DL-MAP should distribute notice to give each node (relay station RS and wireless terminal MS).To in the 7th embodiment, down link be described.
Fig. 7 A is used to carry out the example of the admin table of these processing to 7C diagram.MAP information generating unit 16 uses the second admin table T2 (Fig. 7 A) to specify to be used for the relay station RS that communicates by letter of relaying and wireless terminal MS; Use the 3rd admin table T3 (Fig. 7 B) to come designated treatment to postpone, and modulator approach and the coding method of using the 4th admin table T4 (Fig. 7 C) to come designated communication target wireless terminals MS and relay station RS.The processing delay of each relay station RS can be frame number but not the time shown in Fig. 7 B.
Structure and the operation of relay station RS will be described now.Fig. 8 is the block diagram of the structure example of diagram relay station RS.Relay station RS has receiving element 31, control messages extraction unit 32, PDU buffer cell 33, delivery unit 34, code receiving element 35, control messages generation unit 36, MAP information analysis unit 37 and code generation unit 38.
When receiving from code (BW Req code) that wireless terminal MS sends; Receiving element 31 (is used to transmit the information that CDMA distributes IE with the information of relevant code; For example, code value, receive the subchannel and the symbol timing of code) output to code receiving element 35.Receiving element 31 also will output to control messages extraction unit 32 from the information except that code (control messages and packet) of wireless terminal MS and wireless base station BS transmission.
Control messages extraction unit 32 extracts MAP information (UL-MAP, DL-MAP) from control messages, and it is outputed to MAP information analysis unit 37, and user's bag is outputed to PDU buffer cell 33.
User's bag sends to wireless terminal MS or wireless base station BS via delivery unit 34 and antenna 39 from PDU buffer cell 33.
Code receiving element 35 request control messages generation units 36 generate the message (for example, transmitting informational message (message that in S43, transmits)) that is used for notifying to wireless base station BS the information of relevant code.Code receiving element 35 also asks MAP information analysis unit 37 to send to be used to receive to be used to send the code (particular code that for example, in the S41 of Fig. 3, transmits) of the bandwidth assignment of message.
Control messages generation unit 36 is based on the information of the relevant code that sends from code receiving element 35, and generation will send to the message of wireless base station BS, and it is outputed to the PDU buffer cell 33 of this message of storage.
MAP information analysis unit 37 from the UL-MAP message of control messages extraction unit 32 (is for example analyzed; The UL-MAP message that in the S42 of Fig. 3, receives); And obtain the subchannel and the symbol timing that allow code to transmit; MAP information analysis unit 37 indication code generation units 38 transmit notice and generating code (particular code) based on the code that receives from code receiving element 35 then, send the code that is obtained so that transmit regularly with the code of this code of being obtained from delivery unit 34.
For the message that stores PDU buffer cell 33 from control messages generation unit 36 into (for example, transmitting informational message), control transmission from the message of PDU buffer cell 33 based on the bandwidth assignment of analyzing by MAP information analysis unit 37.
Code and message send to wireless base station BS and wireless terminal MS via antenna 39 from delivery unit 34.
Fig. 9 is the flow chart that is shown in the example of the processing of when wireless base station BS receives code, among relay station RS, carrying out.
When receiving code (the BW Req code the S10 of Fig. 3) from wireless terminal MS, relay station RS generates the message (transmission informational message) be used for code value, frame index, subchannel and code element are sent to wireless base station BS (S81).
Relay station RS judges the frequency band whether available (S82) be used to send the message that is generated.Relay station RS depends on frequency band and whether receives the frequency band that is enough to send this message and judge this point.
Can use (" being ") if be used to send the frequency band of message, then the relay station RS message that will in S81, generate sends to wireless base station BS (S84).This is handled corresponding to the S43 among Fig. 3.
If be used for sending the frequency band unavailable (being " denying " at S82) of message, then relay station RS sends to wireless base station BS (S83) with particular B W Req code.This is handled corresponding to the S41 among Fig. 4.
The 3rd embodiment
Now the 3rd embodiment will be described.
In a second embodiment, the example that relay station RS sends BW Req code in the middle of the CDMA code that is used to ask frequency band, that represented by particular code is described.To distribute to each relay station RS (referring to Fig. 4 A) independently by the BW Req code that particular code is represented.
In the 3rd embodiment, identical particular code is distributed to a plurality of relay station RS.Common CID (connection ID is called as multileaving poll CID in the 3rd embodiment) is distributed to the relay station RS that is assigned with identical particular code.
For example in Fig. 3, relay station RS sends the BW Req code of being represented by particular code (S41), but, sends the particular code that co-dispensed is given each relay station RS here.It is the frequency band request from relay station RS that the wireless base station BS that receives this code recognizes this, and generate UL-MAP message and send it (S42), wherein this UL-MAP message comprises the information that is used at multileaving poll CID allocated frequency band.Generate the particular code of co-dispensed by the code generation unit of relay station RS 38, and generate the UL-MAP message that comprises multileaving poll CID by the MAP information generating unit 16 of wireless base station BS.
Figure 10 A is the example of the 5th admin table T5, the corresponding relation of its diagram CDMA code and multileaving poll CID.Wireless base station BS is with reference to the 5th admin table T5, and establishment UL-MAP message.Wireless base station BS is inserted into " CID " field of UL-MAP message with the multileaving poll CID of correspondence, and sends UL-MAP message.
In first and second embodiment, the CID of each relay station RS is inserted in " CID " field, wherein this CID is the CID of each relay station RS of expression.In the 3rd embodiment, the common CID of relay station RS is inserted in " CID " field.Through like this identical CID is distributed to a plurality of relay station RS, can save the resource of particular code.Subsequent treatment is identical with second embodiment.
Same frequency band is assigned to each the relay station RS that is assigned with common CID, and each relay station RS can use this frequency band that the frequency band request message is sent to wireless base station BS.Equally, give each relay station RS with different bandwidth assignment according to the distribution of the independent CID of second embodiment.
Preferably, for the wireless base station BS that communicates based on identical modulator approach and coding method, be that multileaving poll CID distributes identical CID.Each relay station RS does not always communicate based on identical modulation and coding method with wireless base station BS; And if be arranged at one group based on relay station RS and the wireless base station BS that identical modulation and coding method communicate; And identical CID is distributed to this group, then can optimize the modulation and the coding method that are used for institute's allocated frequency band.
The 6th admin table T6 that Figure 10 B diagram is so distributed.Common multileaving poll CID (" 0x0101 ") is assigned to a plurality of relay station RS (" RS#1 " and " RS#2 ").
The 4th embodiment
Now the 4th embodiment will be described.
According to second embodiment, if give wireless terminal MS (S44 among Fig. 3, S48) with bandwidth assignment, then past tense is distributed to relay station RS (S46 among Fig. 3, S50) automatically with this frequency band at the fixed time.
Therefore, if relay station RS can not normally receive the data of sending from wireless terminal MS, the frequency band of then distributing to relay station RS possibly not be used and therefore is wasted.Specifically, the bandwidth assignment (S48 among Fig. 3) that is used for frequency band request message (BW Req GMH, S45 among Fig. 3 and S47) is used for packet, and if packet length long, then make a mistake easily.In addition, usually broadband is distributed to packet, and if relay station RS can not receive packet, the bandwidth assignment very poor efficiency that becomes then.
In order to prevent this point, judge which QoS (service quality) classification that the bandwidth assignment of frequency band request message is used for connecting (CID).The QoS classification that CID in the frequency band request message (referring to Figure 23 A and Figure 23 B) illustrates the data that the next one will be sent out (for example; " do the best ", " frequency band guarantee "); Therefore; According to classification, isolate the situation of automatic allocated frequency band and based on from the new frequency band request message of relay station RS and the situation of allocated frequency band.Thereby, become possibility according to the QoS classification allocated frequency band of packet.
Figure 11 A is the flow chart that is shown in the operation of the processing among wireless base station BS when relay station RS receives the frequency band request message.
When receiving frequency band request message (BW Req GMH) (in S90, being " being "), wireless base station BS judges whether this is that high priority connects (S91).Figure 11 B diagram is used to manage and connects and the example of the 7th admin table T7 of the corresponding relation of priority.When relay station RS receives the frequency band request message, BS " CID " field from message (referring to Figure 23 A and Figure 23 B) in wireless base station is extracted CID, and in the 7th admin table T7 search priority.If as Search Results priority is " height ", then connecting is " high priority connections ", and if " low ", then connection is not " high priority connection ".
Control messages analytic unit 17 by wireless base station BS is made this judgement.
Turn back to Figure 11 A, if " high priority connection " (in S91, being " being "), then wireless base station BS is to wireless terminal MS allocated frequency band, and past tense distributes this frequency band (S92) to relay station RS at the fixed time then.Then, handle and turn back to S90, and repeat identical processing.
If not " high priority connection " (being " denying " in S91), then wireless base station BS waits for the new frequency band request message (S90) that receives from relay station RS, and reprocessing.
According to illustrated processing among Figure 11 A, connect only if the CID of frequency band request message is a high priority, otherwise do not carry out bandwidth assignment from wireless base station BS.Yet, can assigned frequency band request in packet, thus if specify not enough frequency band through this new frequency band request, connecting can be that high priority connects, and wireless base station BS can be to relay station RS allocated frequency band.
Because all the other processing are identical with second embodiment, therefore can improve the speed that bandwidth assignment is handled.
The 5th embodiment
Now the 5th embodiment will be described.
In a second embodiment; With the particular code value (value of the particular code among second embodiment; Referring to Fig. 4 A) distribute to relay station RS; And wireless base station BS comes designate relay stations RS through using code value request frequency band, therefore can give relay station RS with bandwidth assignment specifying under the situation of optimal modulation method etc.
Generally speaking, relay station RS is usually placed in wireless base station BS within sweep of the eye, and the communication quality between them is good under many circumstances.In this case, optimal modulation method that is used for each relay station RS etc. possibly be similar more.
Therefore in this case; Not corresponding to each code with relay station RS; Can each code directly be associated with the frequency band that will ask, can omit thus, and the speed of bandwidth assignment processing can be higher than the situation of processing from relay station RS transmission band request message (BW Req GMH).
The example of the contingency table T8 of related each code of Figure 12 A diagram and banded amount.Contingency table T8 storage is used to represent to manage the frequency band that the code value of frequency band request is associated with each.
Figure 12 B is the figure of the processing sequence of operation when being shown in association code and frequency band.
At first, wireless terminal MS sends to relay station RS (S100) with BW Req code.Relay station RS uses UL-MAP to distribute the frequency band (S101) that is enough to send the frequency band request message.
Use the frequency band distributed, wireless terminal MS sends to relay station RS (S102) with frequency band request message (BW Req GMH), and wireless base station BS judges the availability through the frequency band of frequency band request message requests, and distributes predetermined frequency band (S103).
Wireless terminal MS uses the frequency band that is distributed that packet is sent to relay station RS (S104).
Relay station RS uses and sends the required corresponding code of minimum frequency band of packet, and the BWReq code is sent to wireless base station BS (S105).For example, transmit 15 bytes if desired, then send code 0x1002.
Wireless base station BS will comprise that CDMA distributes the UL-MAP message of IE to send to relay station RS, and wherein this CDMA distributes IE to be used to distribute and the corresponding maximum band of code (S106) that is received.The modulator approach and the coding method that are used for institute's allocated frequency band are such methods (inserting in " UIUC " field): use it, all relay station RS can communicate by letter with wireless base station BS.
Use the frequency band that is distributed, relay station RS sends to wireless base station BS (S107) with packet.
Through so directly association code and frequency band; Omission is from the frequency band request message (BW Req GMH) of relay station RS BS to the wireless base station and corresponding BS is to the UL-MAP message of relay station RS from the wireless base station, and the speed of handling can be faster than the speed of first embodiment (Fig. 2).
During S105 in relay station RS handles, in code generation unit 38, generate BW Req code based on the indication of MAP information analysis unit 37, and it is provided with, wherein the BWReq code uses and the corresponding code of frequency band that is enough to send packet.During S106 in wireless base station BS handled, code receiving element 15 was confirmed banded amount according to contingency table T8, and it is outputed to MAP information generating unit 16, and MAP information generating unit 16 generates and sends UL-MAP message.
The 6th embodiment
Now the 6th embodiment will be described.The 6th embodiment is that relay station RS generates UL-MAP message and to the example (distributed scheduling) of the wireless terminal MS of subordinate allocated frequency band.In the 6th embodiment, the bandwidth assignment time of expecting (distribution time) is inserted into and will sends to the frequency band request message of wireless base station BS from relay station RS.When this time arrived, wireless base station BS was a relay station RS allocated frequency band, thereby relay station RS can send to wireless base station BS with packet from wireless terminal MS with appropriate timing.
Figure 13 A is the figure of diagram according to the sequence of operation of present embodiment.
At first, wireless terminal MS sends to relay station RS (S110) with BW Req code.Relay station RS sends to wireless base station BS with BW Req code, distributes the frequency band (S111) that is enough to send the frequency band request message with request.
Relay station RS will comprise that also CDMA distributes the UL-MAP message of IE to send to wireless terminal MS, so that can send the frequency band request message (S112) from wireless terminal MS.
Wireless terminal MS uses the frequency band that is distributed to send frequency band request message (BW ReqGMH) (S114).On the other hand, relay station RS receives and comprises that CDMA distributes the UL-MAP message (S113) of IE, and uses this frequency band to send frequency band request message (S115).
This frequency band request message (hereinafter, in the 6th embodiment, being called as " the second frequency band request message ") comprises the distribution time of expectation.The distribution time of expectation is that relay station RS adds the processing delay among the relay station RS with the time that receives packet (S118) at time of wireless terminal MS allocated frequency band (back mention S116), or is just in time receiving packet from wireless terminal MS and with the fastest mode this packet is being sent to time of the times prior of wireless base station BS.
Figure 13 B illustrates the format sample of the second frequency band request message.The desired expected time of relay station RS is inserted in " distribution time " field.This is to begin the time in the past from the time of sending the second frequency band request message.Distribution time at least in the past after, the wireless base station BS that receives the second frequency band request message distributes banded amount or its part of being asked for relay station RS.
Get back to Figure 13 A; When the distribution time of expectation arrives; Wireless base station BS is a relay station RS allocated frequency band (S117), and relay station RS receives packet (S118) from wireless terminal MS, and uses the frequency band that is distributed that this packet is sent to wireless base station BS (S119).
The frame structure example of the wireless base station BS of the 6th embodiment identical with second embodiment (referring to Fig. 6).Figure 14 is the block diagram of the structure example of diagram relay station RS.
To combine Fig. 6 to describe wireless base station BS tout court now.Wireless base station BS show greatly with second embodiment in identical mode operate.But difference is that if " distribution time " is included in the frequency band request message then after past distribution time, control messages analytic unit 17 is to MAP information generating unit 16 request bandwidth assignment.And, in MAP information generating unit 16, generate UL-MAP message and it sent the RS of falling the relay station.
Compare with second embodiment (referring to Fig. 8), in the structure of the relay station RS of the 6th embodiment, relay station also has control messages analytic unit 40 and MAP information generating unit 41, rather than MAP information analysis unit 37.
MAP information generating unit 41 receives indication from code receiving element 35 and uses CDMA to distribute notice and the code value that received and the allocated frequency band amount of IE as wireless terminal MS allocated frequency band.
Control messages analytic unit 40 is analyzed the UL-MAP that BS (from control messages extraction unit 32) receives from the wireless base station, and obtains the subchannel and the symbol timing that can be used for sending code, indicates code generation unit 38 to generate and send predetermined code then.Control messages analytic unit 40 also indicates PDU buffer cell 33 to use the frequency band that is distributed, and packet that will send and control messages send to wireless base station BS.If receive the frequency band request message from wireless terminal MS, then control messages analytic unit 40 is to the content of control messages generation unit 36 notification messages, and notice MAP information generating unit 41 is given wireless terminal MS with bandwidth assignment.
Control messages generation unit 36 generates and comprises by the banded amount of wireless terminal MS request and the second frequency band request message of temporal information, it is stored in the PDU buffer cell 33, and sends it to wireless base station BS.The bandwidth assignment time of expectation is the value that the time when giving wireless terminal MS with this bandwidth assignment adds the processing delay of relay station RS, and is perhaps more late.
Figure 15 A is the flow chart of diagram according to the processing operation of the wireless base station BS of present embodiment, and Figure 15 B is the flow chart of the operation of diagram relay station RS.
Shown in Figure 15 A; When receiving frequency band request message (among S120, being " being ") from relay station RS; Wireless base station BS judges in the frequency band request message, whether to comprise the distribution time (S121); And if comprised (" being "), then after past distribution time, wireless base station BS would be to relay station RS allocated frequency band (S122).On the other hand, if in the frequency band request message, do not comprise the distribution time (in S121 for " denying "), wireless base station BS allocated frequency band (S123) immediately then.
If relay station RS receives the frequency band request message from wireless terminal MS, shown in Figure 15 B (in S130 for " being "), then relay station RS judges the frequency band whether available (S131) that is enough to send the frequency band request message.
If obtained frequency band (" being "), then relay station RS is to wireless terminal MS allocated frequency band, and the frequency band request message is sent to wireless base station BS (S132).This is corresponding with the processing from S114 to S116 among Figure 13 A.
If frequency band unavailable (being " denying " in S131), then relay station RS send be used to represent bandwidth request CDMA code (BW Req code) (S133).This is corresponding with frequency acceptance band request message and the transmission BW Req code among the S115 among the S114 of Figure 13 A.Though regularly be shifted, subsequent treatment is with identical in the processing of S113 and back thereof.
Now the 7th embodiment will be described.The 7th embodiment is in the make progress example of bandwidth assignment of downlink side.Figure 16 A sequence illustrated figure and Figure 16 B diagram flow chart.

Relay station RS receives the packet (S141) from wireless base station BS according to the DL-MAP message that is received.For example, generate packet from wireless base station BS, and through from NW interface unit 14 to delivery unit 21 path send it (referring to Fig. 6).In relay station RS, receive packet (referring to Fig. 8) via receiving element 31.
Wireless base station BS generates DL-MAP message, and broadcasting DL-MAP message, and wherein this DL-MAP message is used to distribute and is used for letting relay station RS packet sent to the frequency band (S142, S143) of wireless terminal MS.
Owing to relay station RS can be appointed as the time that packet sends to wireless terminal MS transmit regularly; Therefore when after relay station RS receives the packet from wireless base station BS, having pass by time of delay of processing delay of consideration relay station RS, BS sends to wireless terminal MS from the wireless base station with this DL-MAP message.In other words, in S140 by the transmission of DL-MAP data designated bag regularly, the transmission that is arranged among the S142 by DL-MAP data designated bag regularly adds scheduled delay.
Relay station RS uses the frequency band that distributes in the DL-MAP that in S142, receives, and packet is sent to wireless terminal MS, and wireless terminal MS receives packet (S144) according to the information among the DL-MAP.
To the bandwidth assignment operation among the wireless base station BS be described with reference to figure 16B.
At first, wireless base station BS judge whether to receive be used for down link data (DL data) (S150), and if do not receive, then wait for until receiving these data (circulation N).
If receive these data (" being "), then wireless base station BS judges whether these data are the data (S151) that are addressed to wireless terminal MS via relay station RS.As described in a second embodiment, BS storage in wireless base station is used to illustrate the admin table of the transfer path of wireless terminal MS, and through carrying out this judgement with reference to this admin table.
If data are that then wireless base station BS divides the frequency band (S152) that is used in these data of transmission to relay station RS via the data (in S151, being " being ") of relay station RS to wireless terminal MS.This be with Figure 16 A in the corresponding processing of S140.This is handled by MAP information generating unit 16 and carries out (referring to Fig. 6).
BS branch in wireless base station is used in the frequency band (S153) that relay station RS sends to data wireless terminal MS.This be with Figure 16 A in the corresponding processing of S142, and carry out by MAP information generating unit 16.
If data are not the data (in S151, being " denying ") that are addressed to wireless terminal MS via relay station RS, then wireless base station BS is used in the frequency band (S154) that data is sent to wireless terminal MS direct the branch.This is the processing of being carried out by MAP information generating unit 16.
By this way, equally for the down link direction, allocated frequency band suitably, and can BS sends to wireless terminal MS from the wireless base station with packet via relay station RS.At this moment, according to becoming possible timing, divide to be used in the frequency band that packet is sent to wireless terminal MS from relay station RS from relay station RS transfer data packets.Therefore, can packet be sent to wireless terminal MS from relay station RS with appropriate timing.
