Embodiment
Below, with reference to accompanying drawing, explain embodiments of the present invention.
Fig. 1 is the figure that present embodiment is shown.In wireless communication system shown in Figure 1, dispensing device 10 use antenna 11a, 11b, 11c to mail to receiving system 20,30,40 transmitted signal is carried out many antennas and is sent.
Particularly, at first, control part 12 benchmark is according to the rules selected the 1st receiving system from receiving system 20,30,40, to the 1st receiving system vector that assigns weight.Can select the 1st receiving system according to relative importance value or the communication quality of the grouped data of wanting wireless transmission.For example, at first control part 12 distributes to receiving system or the good receiving system of communication quality that will receive the high grouped data of relative importance value the weight vectors that is suitable for this receiving system most.Here, can according to the feedback information from the 1st receiving system, decide the weight vectors of distributing to the 1st receiving system.
Then, the control part 12 weight vectors candidate's that can use concurrently with information from the weight vectors of distributing to the 1st receiving system to different from the 1st receiving system the 2nd receiving system outputs.And distribute to the low weight vectors of annoyance level between the weight vectors of the 1st receiving system and be chosen as the weight vectors candidate.And, about weight vectors candidate's information, can use forward link to be wirelessly transmitted to the 2nd receiving system by dispensing device 10, can also send via other wireless device.
Then, control part 12 is obtained the feedback information relevant to the weight vectors candidate from the 2nd receiving system, according to this feedback information, to the 2nd receiving system vector that assigns weight.At this moment, the estimated result that includes the quality of reception relevant to the weight vectors candidate of control part 12 notices in feedback information.
Here, can make antenna 11a, 11b, 11c and receiving system 20,30,40 mail to the mode of the signal of receiving system 20, signal that receiving system 40 is mail in antenna 11c output according to antenna 11a output corresponding one to one.Can also adjust phase place and amplitude, the mode multi-to-multi ground correspondence of the signal of receiving system 40 is mail in signal, antenna 11b and the antenna 11c output of mailing to receiving system 20 according to antenna 11a and antenna 11b output.This correspondence utilizes weight vectors to define.
Receiving system 20,30,40 has respectively antenna 21,31,41 and quality estimator 22,32,42. Antenna 21,31,41 receives the wireless signal of at least a portion output of antenna 11a, 11b from dispensing device 10, 11c.Quality estimator 22,32,42 is estimated the radio communication quality of forward link according to the indication from dispensing device 10, the feedback information of output expression estimated result.
Particularly, not during specified weight vector candidate, quality estimator 22,32,42 communicates the estimation of quality and processes, can select the weight vectors of the best from all weight vectors when dispensing device 10.On the other hand, when dispensing device 10 had been specified the weight vectors candidate, the estimation that also can communicate quality in the scope that needs in order to select appropriate weight vectors from the candidate of the weight vectors of appointment was processed.Then, the feedback information of quality estimator 22,32,42 output expression estimated results.And, about feedback information, can use reverse link to be wirelessly transmitted to dispensing device by receiving system 20,30,40, can also send via other wireless device.
Here, as concrete example, consider that receiving system 20 is chosen as the situation of the 1st receiving system.In this case, at first, 10 pairs of receiving systems 20 of dispensing device do not limit weight vectors and indicate the estimation that communicates quality to process.These indications of receiving system 20 response, carry out with a plurality of weight vectors candidates (for example M kind candidate) in the estimation of communication quality of all weight vector correlations of comprising process, send the feedback information of expression estimated results to dispensing device 10.So dispensing device 10 distributes best weight vectors according to the feedback information from receiving system 20 to receiving system 20.
Then, dispensing device 10 determines that the weight vectors candidate that can use concurrently with the weight vectors of distributing to receiving system 20 (for example, N(N＜M) plants the candidate), to receiving system 30,40 specified weight vector candidates, indication communicates the estimation of quality and processes.Receiving system 30, this indication of 40 responses, the estimation that communicates quality in the weight vectors candidate's of appointment scope is processed, and sends the feedback information of expression estimated results to dispensing device 10.So dispensing device 10 distributes appropriate weight vectors according to from receiving system 30,40 feedback information to receiving system 30,40.
And dispensing device 10 can send to the receiving system 30,40 as the 2nd receiving system the indication of estimating processing simultaneously, and the vector that assigns weight also can send the indication that estimation is processed one by one successively, and vector assigns weight.
According to such wireless communication system, at first, by dispensing device 10 according to the rules benchmark select the 1st receiving system from receiving system 20,30,40, to the 1st receiving system vector that assigns weight.Then, 2nd receiving system different from the 1st receiving system in the receiving system 20,30,40 sends the weight vectors candidate's that can use concurrently with the weight vectors of distributing to the 1st receiving system information.Then, processed by the estimation of the 2nd receiving system executive communication quality in the weight vectors candidate's of appointment scope, return to feedback information to dispensing device 10.Then, by dispensing device 10 according to the feedback information from the 2nd receiving system, to the 2nd receiving system vector that assigns weight.
Thus, can distribute to the receiving system of electing the 1st receiving system in receiving system 20,30,40 as the optimal weight vector corresponding with communication conditions.On the other hand, can limit to the receiving system of electing the 2nd receiving system as the scope of the estimation processing of communication quality, thereby can suppress to process load/circuit scale/power consumption.In addition, the amount of information of the feedback information of dispensing device 10 can be suppressed to mail to from receiving system 20,30,40, thereby the bandwidth that is used for feedback information that the communication bandwidth integral body of reverse link takies can be suppressed.
And 10 pairs of transmitted signals of dispensing device are given the weight that makes receiving system to receive well, so receiving system 20,30,40 is basically as long as carry out to received signal demodulation, the reception signal that just can obtain expecting.
In addition, dispensing device 10 sends the predetermined signal (pilot signal) that knows for each antenna with different subcarriers or code, receiving system 20(30,40 thus) can obtain transmission path information for each antenna, therefore can determine best weight (for example, the best weight of the quality of reception) from the weight candidate according to the transmission path information for each antenna that obtains.
