Abstract

The reception levels of a control channel and a communication channel received by an antenna (11) are metered by a received field strength meter (12). The ratio of the strength of a desired wave to that of an interfering wave when a channel is assigned is calculated as an estimated value by a desired wave/interfering wave calculator (13), and the output is compared with a threshold value assuring a communication quality by a comparator (14). If the ouput exceeds the threshold value, a carrier is assigned.

(first embodiment)
Fig. 3 is arranged on the block diagram according to the carrier sensor of first embodiment of the invention in the base station of radio communications system.Fig. 4 is the concept map of detection level of the received electric field strength of the detection level of received electric field strength of explanation control channel and communication channel.
Usually, vacant channel is carried out News Search with system to be allocated in, for example in the TDMA structural system of employed TDMA/TDD system of PHS system and the employed CDMA/TDD of cellular telephone system, the control channel of reverse link adopts the frequency that is different from communication channel.For this reason, be substantially devoid of disturbing wave among them.In addition, communication channel can be counted as disturbing wave before being assigned with.
In addition, the level of the level of the electric field strength that is received in the control channel of reverse link and the electric field strength that received in communication channel is from predesignated subscriber's emission of leaving the base station same distance.For this reason, can think that the correlation between them is high.In other words, can estimate that after channel allocation, communication channel is the same mutually basically on the level of the electric field strength of required ripple with control channel.
According to estimates, the electric field strength level of the control channel of reverse link is exactly the electric field strength level of required ripple signal.Then, the level of estimating is detected the electric field strength level of the disturbing wave signal of each period before being assigned with as communication channel.Utilize estimated value and detected value the two, can estimate the ratio of the required ripple level that can obtain on the time and disturbing wave level in channel allocation.
According to first embodiment, carry out carrier sense with the ratio of above-mentioned required ripple level and disturbing wave level, can detect carrier wave thus, because required ripple level height even the disturbing wave level is also high, also can adopt this carrier wave.Therefore, only can distribute differentiated to be the channel that can not communicate effectively by the disturbing wave level.This can obtain the effect of effective frequency utilization and channel capacity increase.
Work with reference to figure 3 explanations carrier sensor of the present invention.At first, in control channel, from antenna a11 received signal.With the signal that received send received electric field strength detector 12 to, thereby the level of electric field to received signal detects.Detected level is set at required ripple level.
Then, channel is become communication channel.Then, similar to control channel, detect by the electric field level of received electric field strength detector 12 communication channel of each period.Detected level is set at interference level.Thereafter, utilize the electric field strength level of control channel and the electric field strength level of communication channel to calculate the ratio of required ripple to disturbing wave by calculator 13.
The output of calculating is sent to comparator 14, thereby ratio and the threshold value of required ripple to disturbing wave compared.In this case, set the threshold to the value that in the communication system of communication channel, can guarantee communication quality to the characteristic of disturbing wave by required ripple.Determine whether and to give the predesignated subscriber this channel allocation, as communication channel.
To provide more detailed description with reference to figure 4.The electric field strength of the signal that receives in the control channel is detected level be set at D1.For each period, the electric field strength of the signal that receives in the communication channel is detected level detect.Each level is the electric field strength level of disturbing wave, and these level values are set at U1, U2, U3 and U4 respectively.
In this case, if with the agreement threshold setting be Uth, so, all periods all surpass this threshold value in communication channel.Owing to this reason, judge that iff the level that utilizes disturbing wave so, judgement can not distribute the period.Yet, even the level of disturbing wave surpasses threshold value, according to the relative size between disturbing wave and the required ripple, the situation that existence can be communicated by letter.For example, in the D1 of control channel, there is the big situation of level difference value between the electric field strength level of the electric-field strength level of disturbing wave and required ripple.Perhaps, existence can be adopted and have the situation of good required ripple to the communication system of disturbing wave characteristic in communication channel.In other words, can consider electric field strength level, but determine communication quality with the required ripple electric field strength and the ratio of disturbing wave electric field strength without disturbing wave.
Here, utilize the U1 to U4 of D1 and each period to calculate required ripple to disturbing wave by following formula.Then, the calculated value with each period is set at C1, C2, C3 and C4. C 1 = D 1 U 1 , C 2 = D 1 U 2 , C 2 = D 1 U 3 , C 4 = D 1 U 4
Here, suppose that the threshold value of disturbing wave level commonly used is Uth, in communication channel, guaranteeing that to the characteristic of disturbing wave the predetermined threshold of communication quality is set at Duth by required ripple.In traditional carrier sense method, required ripple level all surpasses threshold value to the ratio of disturbing wave level in all periods.For this reason, think that all channels are in use, can not carry out user's channel allocation.On the other hand, consider threshold value Duth, high or adopt and have in the good situation of required ripple at the required level of control channel to the communication system of disturbing wave characteristic, can give the user with channel allocation.Even this is because also can communicate channel allocation fully to the user.
Here, at first from required ripple ratio (C1, C2, C3, C4) maximum of middle selection to disturbing wave.
Max{C1,C2,C3,C4}
Then, by following formula selection result and threshold value are compared mutually:
Duth<C3
That is, whether the required ripple of determining this period surpasses threshold value to the maximum ratio of disturbing wave.Determine whether the period of distributing carrier wave thus.
Consider the ratio of required ripple, have such period disturbing wave, though ratio greater than threshold value Uth, this period is enough to and can communicates.In this case, consider threshold value Duth, can will should distribute the period as communication channel.In state shown in Figure 4, distributed the period 3.
Attention: threshold value is according to the required ripple of communication system used in the communication channel characteristic of disturbing wave to be determined.Therefore, because radio communications system has designed the required ripple that satisfies the communication quality requirement ratio to disturbing wave, can carry out stable communication.

In the situation of carrying out carrier sense, all channels are to utilize all reception electric field level to distribute.This produces material impact to communication quality.In addition, because the user communicates while walking about, receive electric field level and stand the decline variation.For example, shown in Fig. 6 (a), only on the instantaneous electric field intensity level of specific period, the received electric field strength level is detected.As a result, when reaching the trough part of decline, determines the moment of detecting that the electric field strength level is low.Then, channel to be detected is defined as vacant channel and distributes this channel (#2 and #4 among Fig. 6 (a)).This can cause during the telephone conversation that interference level increases and disconnects being connected of network.
In order to improve accuracy in detection, testing result partly of several periods is averaged, on average level, carry out carrier sense.More particularly, shown in Fig. 4 (b), electric field level is averaged, even so that in the trough part of decline the electric field strength level is detected also and can correctly determine vacant channel.This makes the variation and the detection received electric field strength level that absorb the disturbing wave level become possibility.

The conversion table corresponding mutually according to electric field strength level and dB value carries out the dB conversion.By dB transducer 41 conversion be sent to subtracter 42 to the dB value of control channel with to the dB value of communication channel, thereby calculate the ratio of required ripple to disturbing wave.Here, if required ripple is Da, disturbing wave is Ub, and the dB value is respectively Ca and Cb, so, can set up following formula:
Ca=20log 10Da[dBμ]
Cb=20log 10Ua[dBμ]
According to the conversion that proceeds to the dB value as mentioned above.
