Description

  The present invention relates to a transmission power control system, a base station, a transmission power control method used therefor, and a program thereof, and more particularly to a CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) type mobile communication system from each of a plurality of mobile stations to a base station. The present invention relates to a transmission power control method for controlling uplink transmission power.

  Conventionally, in a CDMA mobile communication system, multiple access is performed by spread spectrum communication in which a spectrum of an information signal is spread and transmitted over a wide band. In this case, signals from a plurality of mobile stations are multiplexed in the same frequency domain and the same time domain.

  Therefore, when the desired transmitting station is far away and the undesired transmitting station (interfering station) is nearby, the received power of the signal from the interfering station is larger than the received signal from the desired transmitting station. The cross-correlation between spreading codes cannot be suppressed only with the processing gain (spreading gain), and communication may be disabled. This is also a cause of a decrease in communication line capacity.

  For this reason, in the cellular system using the spread CDMA system, transmission power control according to the state of each transmission path is essential in the uplink from the mobile station to the base station. In addition, as a countermeasure against fading, which is a cause of channel quality deterioration in land mobile communications, a method of compensating for an instantaneous value variation of received power by controlling transmission power is considered.

  Therefore, in a CDMA mobile communication system, transmission power control (TPC: Transmit Power Control) is performed so that radio waves from all mobile stations have a uniform reception level at the base station with respect to the mobile station with which the base station is communicating. ) Is important. Since all mobile stations communicate at the same frequency, they interfere with each other. Although the communication quality is determined by this interference, in order to increase the subscriber capacity, it is necessary to make the transmission power from the base station the lowest power that can guarantee the communication quality. This is to prevent radio waves from a specific mobile station from interfering with other mobile stations.

  Such transmission power control is performed by two means: open loop control for estimating transmission power by a single mobile station and closed loop control for fine adjustment by a command from the base station.

  In uplink closed-loop power control, a base station measures a reception quality value such as a signal-to-interference power ratio (SIR) and the reception quality value is larger than a control reference value. A control command for reducing the transmission power is transmitted to the mobile station. Conversely, if the reception quality value is smaller than the control reference value, a control command for increasing the transmission power is transmitted to the mobile station.

  The mobile station increases or decreases the transmission power according to the control command. This control command for transmission power control is called a TPC command. In the case of a control command for increasing transmission power, for example, the TPC bit is set to “0” or “+1”, and the transmission power is controlled. In the case of a control command for decreasing the value, “1” or “−1” is set in the TPC bit, but the present invention is not limited to this. It is important that there is no transmission delay of TPC bits.

  Downlink open loop power control is a transmission power control method in which the transmitter side adjusts transmission power in consideration of the propagation path loss between the transmitter and receiver, regardless of an instruction from the receiver side. Specifically, the receiver side notifies the transmitter side of the interference power of the received signal, the target SIR, and the transmission power of the known reference signal, and the transmitter side reports the difference between the transmission power and the reception power of the known reference signal as the propagation path loss. And The transmitter side determines the transmission power by adding the propagation path loss to the interference power and the target SIR notified from the receiver side.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-243364 JP 2002-300106 A

  In the conventional transmission power control method described above, the reception SIR measurement circuit, the downlink TPC bit, and the TPC packet generated in the TPC packet generation unit are sent to the downlink transmission data generation unit in timing slot units, and the TPC bit position of the downlink transmission data It is a method to be inserted into.

  Therefore, in the conventional transmission power control method, the TPC bit is generated and inserted into the downlink transmission data during the period from when the base station receives the uplink signal until the downlink transmission starts, and the TPC bit is transmitted together with the downlink transmission data. There must be. Therefore, when the mobile station is away from the base station, the reception of the uplink signal from the mobile station is delayed accordingly.

  In addition, since there are many mobile stations participating when there are events, it takes time to perform SIR measurement of uplink transmission power, TPC bit generation, transfer, and insertion processing, and accurate TPC bit insertion timing in time slot units is not in time. Sometimes. As a result, this TPC bit can be inserted at the TPC bit insertion timing of the next slot. Eventually, the power control to the mobile terminal is delayed by one time slot, creating a hole, and the power control accuracy is degraded.

  The above Patent Document 1 discloses a technique capable of increasing the subscriber capacity by reducing the transmission power error due to the control delay, and assuming the power control delay time “T”, The configuration is such that the TPC bit is generated by adding the control error of the previous cycle.

With such a configuration, it is impossible to completely avoid the power control delay due to reception delay and TPC bit generation, transfer, and insertion processing delay.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, a transmission power control system capable of performing accurate transmission power control without delay without increasing the circuit scale, a base station, and transmission power control used for them. It is to provide a method and a program thereof.

A second step and a TPC insertion tie of the next time slot And a third step of transmitting by inserting the TPC bit value estimated when not in time to ring in the downlink transmission data.

  A program of a transmission power control method according to the present invention is a program of a transmission power control method for controlling uplink transmission power from each of a plurality of mobile stations to a base station.

  That is, the transmission power control system of the present invention is a transmission power control system that controls uplink transmission power from each of a plurality of mobile stations to a base station. Transmit power control (transmission power control) bit value and its neighboring reception SIR (Signal to Interference power Ratio) amplification (width at which reception SIR increases in one slot interval) and reception SIR reduction (1 The received SIR is decreased or decreased in the time slot interval).

  Based on these values, the base station estimates the TPC bit value to be output in the next time slot. If the TPC bit value is not in time for the next time slot, the base station prepares and transmits the estimated TPC bit value in the downlink transmission data. To do.

  Further, in the transmission power control system of the present invention, the base station estimates the delay of the received signal from the mobile station and generates TPC bits for the mobile station in consideration of TPCs for the number of mobile stations to be processed. , The delay time until transfer or insertion timing is calculated.

  If the base station determines that it is not in time for the TPC insertion timing in the downlink transmission signal, it stops the generation, transfer, or insertion processing of TPC bits for the number of mobile stations for the time being. As a result, in the transmission power control system of the present invention, it is possible to reduce the processing load related to TPC reception of other mobile stations and reduce the transmission power control delay.

  Therefore, in the transmission power control system of the present invention, the TPC bit insertion timing is determined by the base station overload amount when the number of mobile stations rapidly increases in the case of a reception delay from a long-distance mobile station or an event, etc. In a state that is not in time, the alternative TPC bit can be transmitted without delay, and the transmission quality of the base station can be maintained. In that case, the transmission power control system of the present invention does not increase the circuit scale, so that the cost is not increased.

  With the configuration and operation as described below, the present invention provides an effect that accurate transmission power control can be performed without delay without increasing the circuit scale.

  Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a base station according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 shows a configuration of a closed loop control system for performing power control between the base station 1 and a mobile station (not shown).

  The base station 1 includes a radio reception despreader unit 11, a reception SIR (Signal to Interference power Ratio) measurement, a TPC (Transmit Power Control) bit generation unit 12, and a TPC packet generation / Transfer unit 13, downlink transmission data generation unit 14, other packet generation unit 15, code division multiple access (CDMA) spreading circuit 16, and recording medium 17. The recording medium 17 stores a program (a computer-executable program) for realizing the operation of each unit of the base station 1.

  When the reception SIR measurement and TPC bit generation unit 12 receives the signal from the mobile station from the radio reception despreader unit 11, the reception SIR measurement unit 12 detects the reception SIR and takes the difference between the detected reception SIR and the reference value SIR to obtain the TPC bit. Generate.

  The TPC packet generation / transfer unit 13 receives the TPC bit from the received SIR measurement and TPC bit generation unit 12 and generates a TPC packet. The other packet generator 15 generates a packet such as data.

  The downlink transmission data generation unit 14 assembles a TPC packet from the TPC packet generation / transfer unit 13 and a packet such as data from another packet generation unit 15 and sends the packet to the CDMA spreading circuit 16 in the form of a downlink transmission data format.

  The downlink transmission data generation unit 14 once per time slot, the TPC bit value, the reception SIR amplification in the vicinity thereof (the width at which the reception SIR rises at one slot interval), and the reception SIR reduction (the reception SIR decreases at one slot interval). Width) is stored or updated. The downlink transmission data generation unit 14 extracts and stores the estimated TPC bit value based on these values.

  When the downlink transmission data generation unit 14 assembles various packets, if the TPC packet from the TPC packet generation / transfer unit 13 is not sent, the TPC bit estimated value stored in the previous time slot is used. The CDMA spreading circuit 16 spreads the data received from the downlink transmission data generating unit 14 and sends it to the mobile station.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing TPC bit estimation for controlling uplink transmission power when channel power fluctuation is stable in one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a TPC bit estimation for the next time slot in one embodiment of the present invention. It is a figure which shows an example of a value.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing TPC bit estimation that controls uplink transmission power when there is a sudden channel power fluctuation in one embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 5 and 6 show TPC bit estimation in one embodiment of the present invention. It is a flowchart which shows estimation operation | movement. A TPC bit estimation operation according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The processing shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 is realized by the base station 1 executing the program of the recording medium 17.

  In FIG. 2, from the time when the TPC bit is normally output at the base station 1 to the time when the TPC bit changes the transmission power of the mobile station and the transmission power of the mobile station is input to the base station 1 as reception power. The transmission power control variation characteristic when there is no control delay is shown.

  In FIG. 2, the horizontal axis represents time t, and T represents one time slot period in which the TPC bit is output. The vertical axis represents the reception SIR from the mobile station in the base station 1, and the reception SIR reference value is “0”. Further, 101 to 112 denote received SIRs, and 201 to 212 denote TPC bits generated by the base station 1 based on the difference between the received SIRs 101 to 112 and the received SIR reference value.

  As shown in FIG. 2, it can be seen that the variation of the reception SIR with respect to time t varies within the range of the reference value ± Δ if the variation at 1T is within 1Δ. In FIG. 2, since the reception SIR 101> 0, the TPC bit 201 is {−1}. As a result, the reception SIR 102 has a value substantially larger by Δ than the reception SIR 101.

  In FIG. 2, since the reception SIR102 <0, the TPC bit 202 is {+1}. Therefore, reception SIR 103 is a value substantially smaller by Δ than reception SIR 102. Such an operation is repeated in the transmission power control variation characteristic.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, the TPC bit of the next time slot is estimated according to this movement. In an ideal reception environment, the reception SIR variation is almost both values {−Δ / 2, Δ / 2}, and the TPC bit variation is also {+ 1, −1, + 1, −1, + 1,. . . } So that the next TPC bit can be obtained by referring to the previous TPC bit, but this is not the case in an actual reception environment.

  First, in a gentle reception environment, the base station 1 stores the TPC bit value immediately before the TPC bit to be estimated, the reception SIR amplification in the vicinity and the reception SIR reduction in the vicinity, and stores them. Based on this, the next TPC bit is estimated. Hereinafter, this process is referred to as an estimation process A.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of the estimation process A related to the TPC bit estimation of FIG. For example, the TPC bit 204 is {+1}, and (SIR104 + a302) ≦ 0 is expected in the reception SIR 104 by the neighboring amplification a302 (= SIR103−SIR102). In this case, the transmission TPC bit from the base station 1 should be {+1} in order to increase the transmission power of the mobile station.

  In addition, since TPC bit 205 is {+1} and (SIR105 + a304)> 0 is expected by reception SIR 105 in neighboring amplification a304 (= SIR105−SIR104), the transmission TPC bit from base station 1 is {−1}. Thus, the transmission power of the mobile station is reduced. In this way, other TPC bits are also determined by the same determination method as described above.

  Next, a method for estimating the TPC bit of the next time slot in the case of a sudden channel power fluctuation will be described. Hereinafter, the processing method is referred to as an estimation process B. For example, when the reception SIR drops due to fading, the base station 1 normally follows with the step size # Δ, so that the TPC bits are continuously {+1, +1, +1,. . . } Or {-1, -1, -1,. . . } Comes out.

  At that time, it is also conceivable that reception SIR> Δ or reception SIR <−Δ. In this embodiment, as the estimation process B, the next time slot TPC bit value is made the same as the TPC bit value of this time slot accordingly.

  In the current mobile communication system, since there is a limit to the follow-up of the received SIR, a synchronization loss phenomenon occurs between the base station 1 and the mobile station with respect to a large fluctuation of the power of the channel. The abrupt channel power fluctuation up to is the content considered in this embodiment.

  In FIG. 4, the horizontal axis represents time t, and the vertical axis represents the reception SIR of the base station. A dotted line 701 represents fluctuations in the transmission power of the mobile station, and a solid line 702 represents fluctuations in the reception SIR of the base station 1. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, after the base station 1 commands the mobile station to reduce the transmission power due to a drop in the reception SIR due to fading, the reception SIR continues to increase due to fading, and the transmission power is already sufficient. This is a case where the received SIR does not reach a predetermined value even though the number is decreased.

  In this state, the TPC bit may be determined according to the reception SIR. As shown in FIG. 4, the TPC bits 501 and 502 belong to the processing range of the estimation process A because the received SIR is within {−Δ, + Δ}. Therefore, it can be determined that the next TPC bit after the TPC bit 501 is {−1} and the next TPC bit after the TPC bit 502 is {+1}.

  Thereafter, under the influence of fading, the received SIR continues to be greater than 1Δ, so that the processing range of the estimation process B is entered. For example, in the case of the TPC bit 507, since the reception SIR 507> 1Δ, the TPC bit 607 is {−1}. In the case of TPC511, since SIR511> 1Δ, the next TPC bit 612 is similarly {−1}.

  Further, regarding the TPC bit 512, R512 <1Δ, and therefore belongs to the processing range of the estimation process A. Since R512> 0 or the adjacent reduction b511 (= SIR512−SIR511), (SIR512 + b511) <0, the next TPC bit 513 should be {+1}.

  The above processing is executed by a program stored in the recording medium 17 in the base station 1. 5 and 6 show the operation of the program for estimating the TPC bit of the next time slot. This program operates for each time slot, and the operation belongs to the downlink transmission data generation unit 14 shown in FIG.

  The downlink transmission data generation unit 14 first assembles TPCs and data packets belonging to the corresponding time slot, creates and transmits downlink transmission data (step S1 in FIG. 5), and then receives SIR values and reception SIR standard values. The stored values such as the neighboring amplification value (a) and the neighboring reduction value (b) are updated (step S2 in FIG. 5).

  Thereafter, the downlink transmission data generation unit 14 divides the determination into the following based on the reception SIR value. When the reception SIR falls outside the range of {−Δ, Δ} (step S3 in FIG. 5), the downlink transmission data generation unit 14 performs processing by the estimation process B.

  When the received transmission data generation unit 14 has received SIR> Δ (step S9 in FIG. 6), the TPC bit estimated value of the next time slot is set to {−1} (step S11 in FIG. 6), and when received SIR <−Δ (FIG. 6). 6 step S9), the TPC bit estimated value of the next time slot is set to {+1} (step S10 in FIG. 6).

  When the reception SIR belongs to the range of {−Δ, Δ} (step S3 in FIG. 5), the downlink transmission data generation unit 14 operates the estimation process A. At that time, the downlink transmission data generation unit 14 has a positive value for the reception SIR (step S4 in FIG. 5), and when the (reception SIR-neighboring reduction value) has a positive value (step S7 in FIG. 5), It is determined that the transmission power needs to be further reduced, and the TPC bit estimated value of the next time slot is set to {−1} (step S8 in FIG. 5). Further, when (reception SIR−neighboring reduction value) becomes a negative value (step S7 in FIG. 5), the downlink transmission data generation unit 14 sets the TPC bit estimated value of the next time slot to {+1} (FIG. 6). Step S10).

  When the reception SIR becomes a negative value (step S4 in FIG. 5) and (reception SIR + neighboring amplification value) becomes a negative value (step S5 in FIG. 5), the downlink transmission data generation unit 14 estimates the TPC bit of the next time slot. Is set to {−1} (step S8 in FIG. 5). Further, when (reception SIR + neighbor amplification value) is a positive value (step S5 in FIG. 5), the downlink transmission data generation unit 14 sets the TPC bit estimated value of the next time slot to {+1} and transmits the transmission power of the mobile station To raise.

  FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a base station according to another embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 7, the base station 2 includes a radio reception despreader unit 21, a received SIR measurement and TPC bit generation unit 22, a TPC allowable time estimation unit 23, a switch 24, a TPC packet generation unit 25, and downlink transmission data. A generation unit 264, another packet generation unit 27, a CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) diffusion circuit 28, and a recording medium 29 are configured. Note that the recording medium 29 stores a program (a computer-executable program) for realizing the operation of each unit of the base station 2.

  When the reception SIR measurement and TPC bit generation unit 22 receives a signal from a mobile station (not shown) from the radio reception despreader unit 21, it detects the reception SIR and takes the difference between the detected reception SIR and the reference value SIR. A TPC bit is generated.

  At the same time, the TPC allowable time estimating unit 23 estimates the time until the timing of inserting the TPC bit into the downlink transmission data format in consideration of the delay of the received signal from the mobile station, and outputs the result to the switch 24. To control. If the TPC allowable time estimating unit 23 determines that the TPC bit insertion timing is not in time, the TPC allowable time estimating unit 23 turns the switch 24 “OFF”, and vice versa.

  The TPC allowable time estimation unit 23 and the switch 24 are configured by software. In particular, the TPC allowable time estimation unit 23 illustrates in advance the TPC bit generation and transfer delay time for only one channel, or the delay time when processing for the TPC bits of #N channels is required at the same time. Put it together as a table. The TPC allowable time estimation unit 23 always estimates the TPC allowable time with reference to the table.

  The TPC packet generation unit 25 receives the TPC bit from the switch 24 and generates a TPC packet. The other packet generator 27 generates a packet of data or the like. The downlink transmission data generation unit 26 assembles a packet such as a TPC packet from the TPC packet generation unit 25 and data from the other packet generation unit 27 and sends the packet to the CDMA spreading circuit 28 in the form of a downlink transmission data format.

  The downlink transmission data generation unit 26 stores or updates the previous TPC bit value, the reception SIR amplification in the vicinity thereof, and the reception SIR reduction in the vicinity once per time slot, and the TPC bit estimated value according to these values. Pull out and save. The downlink transmission data generation unit 26 sets the estimated TPC bit value at the TPC bit position of the downlink transmission data format as an initial value before assembling the packet.

  When the TPC packet from the TPC packet generation unit 25 is not sent, the downlink transmission data generation unit 26 transmits the TPC bit as the estimated value. When the TPC packet from the TPC packet generation circuit 24 is transmitted, the downlink transmission data generation unit 26 overwrites the TPC bit and transmits the TPC packet. The CDMA spreading circuit 28 spreads the data received from the downlink transmission data generating unit 26 and sends it to the mobile station.

  As described above, the present invention is based on the TPC based on the excessive load amount of the base stations 1 and 2 when the number of mobile stations rapidly increases when the base stations 1 and 2 receive delay from a long-distance mobile station or an event occurs. In a state not in time for the bit insertion timing, the alternative TPC bits can be transmitted without delay, and the transmission quality of the base stations 1 and 2 can be maintained. In this case, in this embodiment, since the circuit scale does not increase, it is possible to prevent an increase in cost.
