Description

本発明は、基地局、あるいはアクセスポイントの無線による伝送集約装置、または、無線装置を用いて通信を行う無線通信システムに用いて好適な、基地局配置方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a base station arrangement method suitable for use in a base station or a wireless transmission aggregation device of an access point or a wireless communication system that performs communication using a wireless device.

上記した通信システムでは、ネットワーク評価の一環として、基地局やアクセスポイントを用いた無線伝送の際に使用される資源の所定領域における総量の算出、あるいは基地局やアクセスポイントの数や使用資源量に関する評価量に基づき、無線装置の適切な設置密度を導出することが行われる。   In the communication system described above, as part of network evaluation, calculation of the total amount of resources used in radio transmission using base stations and access points in a predetermined area, or the number of base stations and access points and the amount of resources used An appropriate installation density of the wireless device is derived based on the evaluation amount.

このような使用資源の総量算出、あるいは無線装置の適切な設置密度の導出方式においては、個々の無線装置間の距離に基づいて使用資源量を計算し、個々の無線装置の使用資源量をそれぞれで小さくする方法が多く、総量を主体にした量の縮小を行う方式は考慮されることはない。また、基地局、あるいはアクセスポイントのセル内で通信可能な無線装置の数の制限を主体にして基地局、あるいはアクセスポイント数を求めることが多く、基地局、あるいはアクセスポイントの数や領域内の使用資源総量を主体に適切な設置密度を算出しようとすれば複雑な手段が必要となり、基地局の適切な配置を決定することは容易でなかった。   In such a calculation method for the total amount of resources used or the method for deriving the appropriate installation density of wireless devices, the amount of used resources is calculated based on the distance between the individual wireless devices, and the amount of used resources of each wireless device is calculated. There are many methods for reducing the size, and a method of reducing the amount mainly using the total amount is not considered. In many cases, the number of base stations or access points is determined mainly by limiting the number of wireless devices that can communicate within the cell of the base station or access point. If an appropriate installation density is calculated based on the total amount of resources used, complicated means are required, and it is not easy to determine an appropriate arrangement of base stations.

例えば、特開2004−241799号には、実際に無線基地局を配置する地域の状況に応じて、多くの無線端末局と通信可能な無線基地局の設置場所を事前に推測するために、各無線基地局が形成する無線セルの各地点で、周囲に存在する全ての無線基地局に対する見とおしの有無を地形データおよび高さデータに基づいて計算し、少なくとも1つの無線基地局と見とおしのある地点が最大になる無線基地局の位置を算出する無線基地局の配置方法が開示されている。
特開2004−241799号公報
For example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-241799, in order to estimate in advance the location of a radio base station that can communicate with many radio terminal stations, depending on the situation of the area where the radio base station is actually arranged, At each point of the radio cell formed by the radio base station, the presence / absence of all the radio base stations existing in the vicinity is calculated based on the terrain data and the height data, and is viewed with at least one radio base station. A wireless base station arrangement method for calculating the position of a wireless base station at a certain point is disclosed.

Here, wireless devices P1, P2, and P3 are assigned to a certain area (shown in a diagram in which the target area is prompted as a plane, and hereinafter referred to as a plane that is prompted as a plane). It is assumed that a radio signal v1 is radiated from P1 with a predetermined attenuation.
By radiating v1, the radio resource m1 such as the electromagnetic radiation power that can be used by the radio device P1 is reduced. As a result, the radio device P2 whose v1 intensity is greater than or equal to a predetermined value vc depending on the location is indicated by the signal. Can be received. Also, the wireless device P3 whose v1 intensity is equal to or less than the predetermined value vc cannot receive the signal. Here, the range in which the intensity is equal to or greater than the predetermined value vc indicates the range of the distance lo from the wireless device P1 (shaded portion in the figure).

It represents that the area Aa is equal to the base stations P1 to P9.

ここで、所定の領域を図4(b)の菱形枠内の領域Abとすれば、Ab全域において信号強度が所定値以上で存在し得る範囲の基地局の位置は、図4(a)に示した基地局P1〜P9の位置であり、各基地局P1〜P9により領域上の位置の信号強度が所定値vc以上で存在し得る範囲を示す円の半径をAb内の全基地局で等しくし、Ab全域において信号強度が所定値以上で存在し得る最小の距離はldになることと同等であるとみなす。   Here, if the predetermined area is the area Ab in the diamond frame in FIG. 4B, the positions of the base stations in the range where the signal intensity can exist at a predetermined value or more in the entire Ab are shown in FIG. The base stations P1 to P9 are shown, and the radius of a circle indicating the range in which the signal strength of the position on the region can exist at a predetermined value vc or more by each base station P1 to P9 is equal for all base stations in the Ab.

Is located in a position where the signal intensity can be greater than or equal to a predetermined value in the entire Ab, and the distance ld from the base station P5 is the minimum distance used in the description of FIG. 4B. .
Here, since the circles Ci and C0 are the minimum distance ld, the two closest distances among the distances obtained by multiplying the distance lx between the base station P5 and some other wireless device Px by the ratio α in ld are li, Alternatively, it is ld. Here, the minimum distance ld is replaced with either li or lo. Whether to replace the inside or the outside is constant regardless of the base stations P1 to P9.

(Embodiment 5)
FIG. 9 is an operation conceptual diagram according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention. Here, the other radio apparatuses Px and Py use only areas where the signal strengths are not less than a predetermined value (or other radio apparatuses are used as radio relay apparatuses), and signal transmission / reception with the base station is not possible (FIG. 9). (A)), and the other radio apparatus Px can transmit and receive signals to and from the base station P1 using the area of the other radio apparatus Px1 included in the same area of Px. As a result, signals can be transmitted to and received from the base station using the region where the signal strength is included in the region where the signal strength is greater than or equal to the predetermined value, and the same applies to Py (FIG. 9B). )).
Accordingly, there are cases where the other radio apparatus used between the other radio apparatus Px and the base station P1 is only Px1, and there are cases where Px2, Px3 and Px4 are used, and the minimum number of other radio apparatuses used is 1. (The base station also has P2, but the minimum value is also 1). Similarly, the other wireless device Py is 2, and the maximum value of the number of other wireless devices used for all other wireless devices is 2.

また、所定領域Acの面積を単位面積と設定すれば、Ac内の基地局(P1、P2)の密度は、図9(a)と図9(b)では2であるが、図9(c)では1であり、介在する他無線装置の数の最大値は3である。
最小値の他無線装置を用いて他無線装置から基地局に到達可能とする際の、Ac内の他無線装置による無線用資源の使用量は、図9(a)と図9(b)では、(mdx+mdy+mdy1+mdy2+mdx1+md)あり、最小値が2である。また、図9(c)における無線用資源の使用量は、(mdx+mdy+mdy1+mdy2+mdx1+md+mdz)であって、最小値が3である。ここでは、基地局密度はそれぞれ2と1であって、最小値と無線用資源の使用量の関係を、基地局密度と無線用資源の使用量の関係とすることを示している。
Further, if the area of the predetermined area Ac is set as a unit area, the density of the base stations (P1, P2) in Ac is 2 in FIGS. 9A and 9B, but FIG. ) Is 1, and the maximum number of intervening other wireless devices is 3.

(Embodiment 6)
FIG. 10 is an operation conceptual diagram according to Embodiment 6 of the present invention. Here, an evaluation amount E (mdi) caused by the amount of wireless resources used in other wireless devices, and an evaluation amount (may be cost) caused by the base station or the number thereof (Pj) Shows the relationship.
The evaluation amount is an amount that changes in a certain manner according to the amount of radio resources used or the number of base stations and the number of each type. This evaluation amount may be an evaluation amount of wireless resource usage (may be the cost corresponding to the power usage amount) and an evaluation amount of base station factor (base station cost or installation cost). ).
Specifically, in the process of reducing the density of the base station described in FIG. 9, the density is calculated by subtracting the difference between the evaluation amount of the base station factor based on the initial density and the evaluation amount of the base station factor when the density is reduced. The value obtained by adding the evaluation amount of the wireless resource usage factor when the value is reduced is the evaluation amount of the base station factor based on the initial density. The base station density is set to an appropriate base station density, or the density at which the sum of the evaluation amount of the wireless resource usage factor and the evaluation amount of the base station factor in the density is set to be an appropriate base station density.

図11は、本発明の実施の形態7にかかわる動作概念図である。ここでは、一度電波により信号を放射すると、無線用資源の使用量がmduである放射を繰り返し、無線用資源の使用量が上限値mdUに達するまでその評価量Eは0であり、mdUに達すると評価量EがED1だけ増加し、次に、mdUに達すると評価量がED2だけ増加し、同様に繰り返す様子を段階的に示した図である。
また、他の評価量が存在し、他無線装置や基地局を利用する際に他評価量が変化する場合は、他無線装置や基地局の一回の利用についての他評価量の合計が一定値以上、あるいは以下でなければならないような制限条件が与えられた場合、他評価量が制限内にあるか否かの判定を適切な基地局密度を導出過程に加えても良い。
(Embodiment 7)
FIG. 11 is an operation conceptual diagram according to Embodiment 7 of the present invention. Here, once a signal is radiated by radio waves, the radio resource usage is repeatedly emitted with mdu, and the evaluation amount E is 0 until the radio resource usage reaches the upper limit mdU, reaching mdU. Then, the evaluation amount E is increased by ED1, and when the value reaches mdU, the evaluation amount is increased by ED2 and is shown in a stepwise manner.
In addition, when other evaluation quantities exist and other evaluation quantities change when using other radio apparatuses or base stations, the total of other evaluation quantities for one use of other radio apparatuses or base stations is constant. When a limiting condition that must be greater than or less than the value is given, a determination as to whether or not the other evaluation amount is within the limit may be added to the process of deriving an appropriate base station density.

例えば、所定領域内で、無線装置について信号強度が一定値以上である範囲が半径Cで、基地局が一定密度Dで間隔√2×Cの格子点上の位置に存在するときを当初の状態とし、この状態は、全ての他無線装置が介在無しに基地局に到達する、最も基地局の数が少ない状態と同等とみなし、基地局数を少なくし密度を小さくする場合についての本発明の一適用法を示す。   For example, the initial state is when the range where the signal strength of the wireless device is greater than or equal to a certain value within a predetermined area is radius C, and the base station is located at a position on a lattice point with a constant density D and an interval √2 × C. This state is regarded as equivalent to the state in which the number of base stations is the smallest, in which all other wireless devices reach the base station without intervention, and the present invention for the case where the number of base stations is reduced and the density is reduced. One application method is shown.

すなわち、αを正整数とした半径(α−1)×Cと、半径α×Cの円の間の他無線装置の数を算出する。そして、他無線装置が送信元となり信号を放射する一回と、半径α×Cの円の外側の他無線装置が送信元となり、信号を放射して信号強度が一定値以上になっている領域内にある先の送信元他無線装置を利用して基地局に信号を到達させるようにすると、当該先の送信元他無線装置が介在するため、半径(α−1)×Cと、半径α×Cの円の間の他無線装置が信号を放射する回数を加えた回数の値を算出する。次に、算出した回数の値に前記の他無線装置の数を乗じ、さらに、一回の信号放射に伴う無線用資源使用量を乗じた結果を得ておく。その他無線装置と基地局との距離を外側の円の半径として、この半径の他無線装置について、基地局から他無線装置による信号強度の値が一定以上である範囲に含まれる他無線装置を利用して基地局へ信号到達可能とする際に利用する当該他無線装置の最小数を算出する。次に、それぞれの送信基点となる他無線装置には各基地局に対して前記最小値が存在するが、各送信起点他無線装置はその最小値の中で最小となる値を該送信起点他無線装置の最小数とし、当該最小数が対応する基地局についてのみ、前記の他無線装置を介在した手段で送信を行うこととする。基地局にむけて送信する送信起点他無線装置の最小数の中で最大の値を該基地局についての送信起点他無線装置の最小数の最大数とする。最後に、各基地局についてαを1から前記最大数まで変えながら前記の乗じた結果を加算する。   That is, the number of other wireless devices between a radius (α−1) × C where α is a positive integer and a circle of radius α × C is calculated. A region where the other wireless device is the transmission source and radiates the signal once, and the other wireless device outside the circle of radius α × C is the transmission source and the signal is emitted and the signal intensity is a certain value or more. If the signal is made to reach the base station using the other source wireless device within the network, the other source wireless device is interposed, so that radius (α−1) × C and radius α The value of the number of times of adding the number of times the other radio apparatus emits a signal between the circles of × C is calculated. Next, a result obtained by multiplying the value of the calculated number by the number of the other wireless devices and further multiplying the amount of wireless resource usage associated with one signal emission is obtained. Using the distance between the other radio apparatus and the base station as the radius of the outer circle, for the other radio apparatus of this radius, use the other radio apparatus included in the range in which the signal strength value from the base station to the other radio apparatus is a certain value or more. Then, the minimum number of the other wireless devices used when making the signal reachable to the base station is calculated. Next, the other wireless device serving as the transmission base point has the minimum value for each base station, but each transmission starting point other wireless device sets the minimum value among the minimum values to the transmission starting point and the like. Only the base station corresponding to the minimum number of wireless devices is transmitted by means including the other wireless device. The maximum value among the minimum number of transmission starting point other wireless devices to be transmitted to the base station is set as the maximum number of the minimum number of transmitting starting point other wireless devices for the base station. Finally, the multiplication result is added while changing α from 1 to the maximum number for each base station.

各基地局に信号を放射する最も離れた他無線装置は、前記最大値となる他無線装置となり、かつ、いずれの発信元他無線装置から前記信号到達可能手段により基地局まで信号が到達する際に利用される他無線装置の列は一種類となる。さらに、起点となる他無線装置以外は介在して利用される他無線装置のみが信号を放射するとし、Zを(当初の状態の基地局数)/(基地局数減少後の基地局数)、とすると、無線用資源使用量の総計は、以下の演算式により簡単に算出することができる。   The farthest other wireless device that radiates a signal to each base station is the other wireless device having the maximum value, and when the signal reaches the base station from any source other wireless device by the signal reachable means There is only one type of column of other wireless devices used in the system. Furthermore, it is assumed that only other wireless devices that are used intervening other than the other wireless device that is the starting point radiate the signal, and Z is (number of base stations in the initial state) / (number of base stations after the number of base stations is reduced) Then, the total amount of radio resource usage can be easily calculated by the following arithmetic expression.

Figure 2007235831
Figure 2007235831

ここで、f(C)は、半径Cの円の中における一つの他無線装置の無線用資源使用量であって、基地局からの距離を要因とすることを示している。無線用資源使用量がある上限の何倍であるかにより、無線用資源使用量を要因とする評価量を得る。基地局の数を少なくすることにより無線用資源使用量要因評価量は増加する。   Here, f (C) is the radio resource usage of one other radio apparatus in the circle with the radius C, and indicates that the distance from the base station is a factor. An evaluation amount based on the wireless resource usage amount is obtained according to how many times the wireless resource usage amount is higher than the upper limit. By reducing the number of base stations, the radio resource usage factor evaluation amount increases.

次に、基地局の数を少なくすることにより基地局を要因とする評価量が減少するため、無線用資源使用量要因評価量を基地局要因評価量の減少分に最も近くづけるZの値を得て、基地局の密度を得る。
この密度は、全ての他無線装置がそれ信号元である該他無線装置以外の他無線装置を利用することなしに基地局に信号が到達し得る最小の基地局密度からその密度を小さくした場合において、評価量が、基地局数の減少により増加する当初の基地局要因評価量との差分を超えない範囲で、信号強度が一定値以上の領域内にある他無線装置を次々に利用して、他無線装置が基地局と信号送受することが可能な最小の基地局密度である。また、無線装置を利用する際に、他評価量が変化しても制限範囲内にあるかどうかの判定を適用して、より適切な基地局密度を得ることもできる。
Next, since the evaluation amount due to the base station decreases by reducing the number of base stations, the value of Z that makes the wireless resource usage factor evaluation amount closest to the decrease in the base station factor evaluation amount is set to And get the density of the base station.
When the density is reduced from the minimum base station density at which a signal can reach the base station without using any other wireless device other than the other wireless device from which the other wireless device is a signal source. In the range where the evaluation amount does not exceed the difference from the initial base station factor evaluation amount that increases due to a decrease in the number of base stations, other wireless devices in the region where the signal strength is a certain value or more are successively used. This is the minimum base station density that other wireless devices can send and receive signals to and from the base station. In addition, when using a wireless device, it is possible to obtain a more appropriate base station density by applying the determination of whether or not the other evaluation amount is within the limit range.

以上説明のように本発明は、ある領域に、基地局あるいはアクセスポイントが存在し、通信により資源が使用される状況において、基地局あるいはアクセスポイントの有効セル範囲だけで所定領域を全て覆う状態と、中継が可能な無線装置あるいは端末の存在により、基地局あるいはアクセスポイントのセルに覆われていない位置の無線装置が存在し得る状態であっても、何れかの基地局あるいはアクセスポイントとの間で全ての無線装置が通信可能にする状態が存在する場合、基地局数や無線装置の使用資源量に基づく評価量を適切にする基地局あるいはアクセスポイントの設置密度を上記したように簡易な導出により求めるものである。なお、上記の図1及び図2及び、当該図面に対応する説明において、基地局は、基地局以外の無線装置であっても構わない。   As described above, in the present invention, in a situation where a base station or an access point exists in a certain area and resources are used for communication, a state where the predetermined area is entirely covered only by the effective cell range of the base station or the access point. Even if there is a wireless device in a position that is not covered by the cell of the base station or access point due to the presence of a wireless device or terminal capable of relaying, it can be connected to any base station or access point. If there is a state where all wireless devices can communicate with each other, the base station or the access point installation density that makes the evaluation amount appropriate based on the number of base stations and the amount of resources used by the wireless device can be easily derived as described above. Is what you want. Note that in the above-described FIGS. 1 and 2 and the description corresponding to the drawings, the base station may be a wireless device other than the base station.

また、本発明によれば、全ての無線装置がそれ自身以外の他無線装置を利用せずに基地局と信号送受可能となる基地局密度から、総評価量を当初の値以下に保ち、かつ、信号強度が一定値以上の信号放射領域に含まれる他無線装置による強度一定値以上の信号放射を利用して全ての無線装置が基地局と信号送受を可能にすることで、(1)全ての無線装置が基地局と信号送受可能状態を保った上で、基地局数をできるだけ減少させる場合に、(2)減少により総評価量を減少させる場合に、顕著な効果が得られる。また、上記した(1)(2)の2つの条件の下で、最も少ない基地局数を求める場合に最大の効果が得られる。   Further, according to the present invention, the total evaluation amount is kept below the initial value from the base station density at which all wireless devices can transmit and receive signals with the base station without using other wireless devices other than themselves, and (1) All by enabling all wireless devices to transmit and receive signals to and from the base station by using signal radiation with a signal intensity greater than a certain value by other wireless devices included in the signal radiation area where the signal strength is greater than a certain value. In the case where the number of base stations is reduced as much as possible while maintaining the state in which signal transmission / reception with the base station is possible, a significant effect can be obtained when (2) the total evaluation amount is reduced due to the reduction. Further, the maximum effect can be obtained when the smallest number of base stations is obtained under the above two conditions (1) and (2).
