Description

  The present invention relates to a wireless transmission system, a wireless transmission device, and a wireless transmission method used therefor, and more particularly to a wireless transmission device that performs wireless transmission of a data string.

  Conventionally, in a wireless transmission device, a PDH (Pleochronous Digital Hierarchical Data) data stream and an SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchical Data) data stream, which are standardized by the ITU-T (International Telecommunication Union-Telecommunication Standardization Sector) or the like, are used. However, with the widespread use of LAN (Local Area Network) networks, there is an increasing need to mount a LAN interface and transmit a LAN data string via a wireless transmission path.

  On the other hand, in wireless transmission equipment, having an error correction processing function such as Reed-Solomon and an interleave processing function has the advantage of correcting bit errors in the wireless transmission path and relieving burst errors due to fading, on the other hand, transmission delay Since the amount increases, the quality of the connected LAN network is degraded.

  As a conventional technique, in data communication using a digital mobile communication system, an apparatus for controlling an optimum error control method and the number of interleaving stages according to the state of a transmission path has been proposed (for example, see Patent Document 1). ).

  In FIG. 8, the transmission side device 5 encodes data input from the outside in the error correction encoding unit 51, performs interleaving processing in the interleaving unit 52, and outputs it to the transmission unit 53. The transmission unit 53 multiplexes the interleaved data into a radio frame, performs modulation and frequency conversion to a radio frequency, and outputs the result to the transmission line 400.

  The receiving side device 6 performs frequency conversion, demodulation, and data extraction from the radio frame on the signal input from the transmission path 400 in the receiving unit 61 and outputs the result to the deinterleaving unit 62. The deinterleaving unit 62 deinterleaves the data extracted from the radio frame and outputs it to the error correction decoding unit 63. The error correction decoding unit 63 performs a decoding process on the deinterleaved data, and outputs the corrected data to the outside.

  The transmission line state detection unit 64 monitors the line state of the transmission line 400, determines the number of interleaving stages and the decoding method based on statistical information including transmission error information, and transmits control information to the deinterleaving unit 62 and the error correction code. To the conversion unit 63. Further, the transmission path state detection unit 64 transmits the control information to the error correction encoding unit 51 and the interleaving unit 52 of the transmission side device 5 so that the number of interleaving and deinterleaving stages and the error correction encoding and decoding method are determined. Match.

Since the coding method and the number of interleaving stages are determined, there is a problem that it takes time until the coding method and the number of interleaving stages are switched after the reception line deteriorates.

  Also, the overhead part C2 for multiplexing the reception line deterioration alarm signal is assigned to a position that is not affected by the presence or absence of the interleaving process (in FIG. 5, the position where the reception line deterioration alarm signal is multiplexed is indicated by Δ), data extraction is performed. In the circuit 23, it is possible to prevent erroneous extraction of the reception line deterioration alarm signal multiplexed in the radio frame data string when reception switching occurs, and to prevent erroneous control of transmission switching.

  Next, switching operation when the main signal data sequence 101 input from the external transmission path 100 in the wireless transmission apparatus (A) 1 is a burst data sequence such as LAN data will be described with reference to the timing chart of FIG.

  The interface circuit 11 includes a reception buffer memory, and stores a LAN data string input from the external transmission path 100 in the reception buffer memory in units of packets. At time T0, when the line state of the wireless transmission path 200 deteriorates and the reception line deterioration alarm signal 317 enters an alarm state in the line state determination circuit 38 of the wireless transmission apparatus (B) 3, the alarm information is transmitted to the wireless transmission apparatus (A). 1 and the reception line deterioration alarm extraction signal 122 is output from the data extraction circuit 23 in an alarm state at time T1.

  At time T1, the data multiplexing circuit 12 multiplexes all “packets 1” being read from the reception buffer memory into the radio frame data sequence, and then stops the read buffer memory read clock and multiplexes into the radio frame data sequence. And the transmission side is switched (time T2).

  The wireless transmission device (B) 3 extracts “packet 1” multiplexed in the transmitted wireless frame data sequence, and then switches the receiving side (time T3). From time T2 to time T4, when the interleaving, deinterleaving processing, error correction coding, and decoding processing are controlled from off to on, the main signal multiplexed data sequence multiplexed in the data multiplexing circuit 12 of the wireless transmission device (A) 1 112 is a time until data is correctly extracted by the data extraction circuit 43 of the wireless transmission device (B) 3.

  Accordingly, the wireless transmission device (A) 1 stops multiplexing of the LAN data sequence to the radio frame data sequence during the period from time T2 to time T4, and resumes reading to the reception buffer memory from time T4 onward. , It is possible to prevent loss of packet data and bit errors due to switching processing between the wireless transmission devices (A, B) 1 and 3.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the reception electric field level of the wireless transmission path 200 is measured by the line status determination circuit 38 of the wireless transmission apparatus (B) 3, and error correction is performed if no bit error occurs in the data string. By turning off the coding process and the deinterleaving process and turning off the error correction coding process and the interleaving process of the wireless transmission device (A) 1, the delay amount of the wireless transmission path 200 can be minimized. .

  In this embodiment, if a bit error occurs in the data string, the error correction encoding process and the deinterleave process are turned on, and the error correction encoding process and the interleave process of the wireless transmission device (A) 1 are turned on. By turning ON and OFF, bit errors can be corrected and the quality of the wireless transmission path 200 can be improved.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the main signal data sequence 101 input from the external transmission path 100 is a LAN data sequence, the LAN data sequence input from the external transmission path 100 is stored in the reception buffer memory provided in the interface circuit 11. From the reception buffer memory until the packet is stored and the settings between transmission and reception match, and the error correction decoding and deinterleaving on the receiving side function normally for the error correction coding and interleaving on the transmitting side. By stopping the reading of the LAN data sequence and stopping the multiplexing to the radio frame data sequence, data loss of the LAN data sequence between the radio transmission apparatuses (A, B) 1 and 3 can be prevented.

  In other words, in the present embodiment, the channel status determination circuits 18 and 38 measure the degradation status of the received channel, and if the received electric field level is such that no bit error occurs, error correction coding and decoding that cause a delay. Since means for turning off the function, interleaving, and deinterleaving function are provided, the amount of transmission data delay can be reduced when the channel state in the wireless transmission path 200 is a reception electric field level at which no bit error occurs.

  In this embodiment, the main signal multiplexed data sequence 112 multiplexed in the data multiplexing circuit 12 of the wireless transmission device (A) 1 by the on / off switching control of the error correction coding, decoding function, interleaving, and deinterleaving function. Until the data is correctly extracted by the data extraction circuit 43 of the wireless transmission device (B) 3, the LAN data sequence received from the external transmission path 100 is stored in the reception buffer memory of the data multiplexing circuit 12, and the radio frame data sequence is stored. Even when switching on / off the error correction coding / decoding function and interleaving / deinterleaving function when transmitting burst data strings such as LAN data, etc. is provided. No error occurs in the burst data sequence

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the radio frame synchronization pattern is assigned to a position that is not affected by the presence or absence of interleaving processing in the radio frame configuration, on / off switching control of the transmission side error correction coding function and the interleaving function is performed. In this case, the radio frame synchronization on the receiving side is not lost.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a frame format of a radio frame data string according to another embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 7A, the frame format of the radio frame data sequence transmitted between the radio transmission apparatuses (A, B) 1 and 3 is a radio frame unit C1 for multiplexing radio frame synchronization frame synchronization patterns, and a radio overhead unit. C2, a payload part C3 that multiplexes the main signal data string input from the external transmission line 100, and a redundant part C4 that multiplexes error correction coding check bits.

  However, when the error correction encoding / decoding function is controlled to be turned off, the redundant part C4 becomes a useless area. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the error correction coding / decoding function is controlled to be off, the redundant part C4 also multiplexes the main signal data sequence input from the external transmission line 100 as shown in FIG. Since the transmission capacity of the main signal data string input from the external transmission path 100 can be increased by assigning the payload portion C5 for transmission, the main signal data string to be transmitted is a burst such as a LAN data string. In the case of a data string, the throughput between the wireless transmission devices (A, B) 1 and 3 can be improved.

  In the present invention, in one embodiment of the present invention, the line condition determination circuit 38 measures the received electric field level of the wireless transmission path 200 and outputs the received line deterioration alarm signal 317. However, the error correction decoding circuit Even if the line state of the wireless transmission path 200 is measured using an error correction pulse such as a syndrome error pulse detected when performing error correction decoding processing at 41 or an error uncorrectable pulse, the same effect as described above can be obtained. .

  Further, in the present invention, a parity operation circuit is provided in the data multiplexing circuit 12 on the transmission side, parity operation processing is performed on the radio frame data sequence, and the multiplexed radio frame data sequence 112 is output, and data extraction on the reception side is performed. By performing parity error detection for the radio frame data sequence 321 after reception switching in the circuit 43, the same effect as described above can be obtained even if the line status of the radio transmission path 200 is measured.
