Description

  The present invention relates to a base station device, a terminal device, a communication system, and a communication method.

  Receive signal power, SNR (Signal to Noise power Ratio), etc., as a way to improve communication efficiency (total throughput of the system, or substantial transmission speed taking into account the occurrence of reception errors) Based on the indexes indicating the propagation path state and reception state of the channel, a method of changing the communication parameters such as the modulation method, channel coding rate, error correction coding method, spreading factor, code multiplexing number, transmission power, etc. has been proposed. (Non-Patent Document 1). In particular, a method for adaptively selecting modulation parameters such as a modulation method and a channel coding rate is called an adaptive modulation method.

  Further, in a communication system that includes a base station device and a plurality of terminal devices and uses multicarrier communication in communication (downlink) from the base station device to the terminal device, each channel device receives a downlink signal. A technique for performing scheduling for assigning a channel to each terminal apparatus according to a state and a technique for performing adaptive modulation for each channel including one subcarrier or several subcarriers for the downlink are known. (Non-patent document 2, Non-patent document 3).

In a communication system that employs scheduling based on the reception state of the terminal device or an adaptive modulation scheme, the channel state used for communication, the propagation path state such as SNR, and the reception are determined in order to determine the allocation and modulation parameters. It is necessary to notify the communication partner of an index indicating the state.
In the system as described above, each terminal device needs to notify the base station device of reception status information regarding each channel using an uplink control channel or the like. For this reason, there has been a problem that the amount of reception state information transmitted from the terminal apparatus to the base station apparatus in the uplink becomes enormous in proportion to the number of terminal apparatuses and the number of channels.

In order to solve the above problem, for the purpose of reducing the amount of information of reception status information transmitted in the uplink, for each terminal device, the reception status of all channels assigned to each terminal device for communication by the base station device, A method (first method) is known in which each terminal apparatus measures and notifies only the average value of the reception states of all channels to the base station apparatus.
Also, among all the channels assigned to each terminal device for communication by the base station device, a predetermined number of channels with good reception status are selected from those with good reception status, and only the reception status of those channels is selected. A method (second method) of notifying a station apparatus is known.
Also, a method of compressing the reception state values of all the channels allocated for communication by the base station apparatus to each terminal apparatus by performing a discrete cosine transform (DCT) in the frequency axis direction (third) Is known).
In addition, the base station device selects some reference channels from all the channels assigned to each terminal device for communication, and represents the value of the reception state of each channel as a difference value of the reception state of the reference channel, A method (fourth method) for notifying this to the base station apparatus is known.
The above first to fourth methods are described in Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, Non-Patent Document 3, Non-Patent Document 4, and Non-Patent Document 5.

  As an example of the above-described conventional system, a system will be described in which a terminal device selects a predetermined number from channels with good reception status and notifies only the reception status information of the channel to the base station device.

  FIG. 27 is a schematic block diagram showing a configuration of a base station device 9000 in the prior art. The base station device 9000 includes an RF (Radio Frequency) receiving circuit 9001, a demodulation / decoding unit 9002, a scheduling unit 9003, a header information acquisition unit 9004, a packet identification unit 9005, a buffer management unit 9006, a PDU (Protocol Data). Unit) generation unit 9007, transmission buffer 9008, selector 9009, encoding / modulation unit 9010, and RF transmission circuit 9011.

A control signal including control information from each terminal apparatus is received by the RF receiving circuit 9001 via an antenna (not shown), and the received control signal is down-converted into a baseband signal and converted into a digital signal. Is input to the demodulation / decoding unit 9002. Demodulation / decoding section 9002 performs control signal demodulation / decoding processing, and reports uplink control information (downlink reception channel state for each frequency block) of each terminal apparatus to scheduling section 9003.
On the other hand, when an IP packet transmitted from the network is received, the header information acquisition unit 9004 acquires packet header information such as a destination address from the received IP packet, and sends the acquired packet header information to the buffer management unit 9006. The IP packet is input to the packet selector 9005.

The buffer management unit 9006 sends packet data to the packet identification unit 9005 based on the notified packet header information and the status of each queue notified from the transmission buffer 9008 described later via the buffer management unit 9006. Specify the storage location. Further, the buffer management unit 9006 inputs the destination address and the memory address of the queue corresponding to the address to the transmission buffer 9008.
Also, the buffer management unit 9006 notifies the scheduling unit 9003 of the packet header information and the status of each queue notified from the transmission buffer 9008.
The packet identification unit 9005 sorts the input IP packet based on the packet data storage location specified by the buffer management unit 9006 and inputs the selected packet to the PDU generation unit 9007. The PDU generation unit 9007 converts the input packet into a PDU and inputs it to the transmission buffer 9008.

  The transmission buffer 9008 forms an independent queue for each destination (terminal device) from the input PDU based on the destination address input by the buffer management unit 9006 and the memory address of the corresponding queue. The buffer manager 9006 is notified of the queue status.

The selector 9009 extracts data from the transmission buffer 9008 based on the queue designated by the scheduling unit 9003 and inputs the data to the encoding / modulation unit 9010 for the designated frequency block. This frequency block is allocated by the scheduling unit 9003. Based on the notified uplink control information (downlink reception channel state of the frequency block with good quality), packet header information, and the state of each queue, the scheduling unit 9003 determines the frequency block of each user. An index (priority) for allocation is obtained, and frequency block allocation is determined based on this index.
The data output from the selector 9009 is subjected to encoding / modulation processing in the encoding / modulation section 9010, and the encoded / modulated data is transmitted to each terminal apparatus by the RF transmission circuit 9011.

  In the first method described above, adaptive modulation according to the reception state of each channel cannot be performed. For this reason, the channel having a better reception state than the average value has a transmission rate that is too low, resulting in inefficiency, and the channel having a lower reception state than the average value deteriorates the error rate characteristics. Further, since it is not possible to perform scheduling for assigning terminal devices to channels having good reception states using the frequency selectivity of the propagation path, the transmission efficiency of the entire system is lowered.

  Further, in the second method described above, a predetermined number of channels having good reception status are notified, and therefore, a predetermined number of channels having good reception status notified from a plurality of terminal devices overlap. As a result of scheduling, there is a possibility that a terminal device to which the channel that has notified the reception state is not allocated is generated. At this time, since the reception state of the other channel of the terminal device is not known at all, scheduling and adaptive modulation based on the reception state of the terminal device cannot be performed on the empty channel, and transmission efficiency is reduced.

  Further, in the third method and the fourth method described above, communication is inefficient because detailed reception state information is notified even for a terminal device that does not require detailed reception state information for each channel.

  However, in the conventional technique, a terminal device with a large communication amount with the base station device and a terminal device with a small communication amount with the base station device notify the base station device of reception quality information with the same information amount.

The transmission data amount that is the information amount of the transmission information accumulated by the unit 201 is acquired and output to the encoding unit 202 and the notification request determination unit 213.
The notification request determination unit 213 increases the information amount of the reception state information of the channel that the terminal device 300 notifies the base station device 200 as the information amount of the transmission information acquired by the transmission buffer unit 201 increases. This is determined for each terminal device communicating with the base station device 200. Specifically, based on the transmission data amount information addressed to each terminal device 300 (FIG. 3) from the transmission buffer unit 201, each terminal device 300 is made to receive each reception state for all channels by b1 per channel. L1 (L1 is a natural number satisfying 2 ^b1-1 <L1 ≦ 2 ^b1 ) level expressed by bits (b1 is a natural number) (hereinafter referred to as L1 reception state information) and all channels Receiving state information (hereinafter referred to as L2) (L2 is a natural number satisfying 2 ^b2-1 <L2 ≦ 2 ^b2 ) expressed by b2 bits per channel (a natural number satisfying b2> b1) , L2 reception state information) is determined to be notified. Then, the notification request determination unit 213 outputs the determination result to the downlink control information generation unit 215 as notification request information. For example, when b1 = 2 and b2 = 4, 2 <L1 ≦ 4 and 8 <L2 ≦ 16. Details of the notification request information determination procedure by the notification request determination unit 213 will be described later.

  In addition, all channels represent all channels to which transmission data addressed to each terminal device may be assigned with respect to each terminal device.

The same applies to the following embodiments.

The scheduling unit 214 assigns transmission information for the terminal device 300 to each channel based on the channel reception state information received by the wireless reception unit 209. For example, as the information amount of the reception state information of the channel received by the wireless reception unit 209 from the terminal device 300 (the number of bits of the reception state information per channel) increases, the transmission data for the terminal device 300 is given priority over the channel. Assign. That is, in the example of the present embodiment, transmission data for the terminal apparatus that has notified the L2 reception state information is assigned to a channel with priority over transmission data for the terminal apparatus that has notified the L1 reception state information.

In addition, regarding the terminal device with the same notification request information as the previous notification request information, the notification request information may not be included in the downlink control information.
Also, for example, for one of the notification request information of the L1 reception state information and the notification request information of the L2 reception state information, no bit is assigned to the downlink control information for the request notification information related to the corresponding destination terminal device. You may do it.

  The encoding unit 202 reads the necessary amount of transmission data addressed to each terminal device 300 from the transmission buffer unit 201 according to the allocation information (scheduling information) of each terminal device to the downlink notified from the scheduling unit 214, and further, the scheduling unit In accordance with the modulation parameter information and scheduling information notified from 214, error correction coding processing is performed on transmission data addressed to each terminal apparatus 300, a data sequence is generated, and output to mapping section 203.

Pilot generating section 216 generates a parrot sequence to be inserted into a transmission signal for reception state measurement in terminal apparatus 300, and outputs it to mapping section 203.
Mapping section 203 maps each bit of the data sequence to a modulation symbol on a subcarrier based on modulation parameter information and scheduling information notified from scheduling section 214, and is generated by downlink control information and pilot generation section 216. The pilot sequence is mapped to a predetermined modulation symbol on a predetermined subcarrier and output to IFFT section 204.
For example, the data sequence is mapped to the data symbols in the upper right and lower right diagrams of FIG. 1 based on the scheduling information, the pilot sequence is mapped to the predetermined pilot symbols of FIG. 1, and the downlink control information is mapped to the predetermined downlink of FIG. Each is mapped to a link control information symbol.

IFFT section 204 performs IFFT processing on the modulation symbol sequence output from mapping section 203, converts it to a time-axis OFDM signal, and outputs the converted signal to GI insertion section 205.
The GI insertion unit 205 adds a guard period (GI) to the OFDM signal generated by the IFFT unit 204 and outputs the result to the D / A conversion unit 206.
The D / A conversion unit 206 converts the signal with the guard period added from a digital signal to an analog signal and outputs the analog signal to the wireless transmission unit 207.
The wireless transmission unit 207 up-converts the analog signal output from the D / A conversion unit 206 and transmits the analog signal to the terminal device 300 from the antenna unit 208. For example, the wireless transmission unit 207 transmits the information amount of the reception state information of the channel determined by the notification request determination unit 213 to the terminal device 300.

The radio reception unit 209 receives a signal such as the reception state information of the channel notified from the terminal device 300 via the antenna unit 208, down-converts the received analog signal, and then transmits the received analog signal to the A / D conversion unit 210. Output.
The A / D conversion unit 210 converts the analog signal output from the wireless reception unit 209 into a digital signal and outputs the digital signal to the demapping unit 211.
The demapping unit 211 demaps the digital signal (modulation symbol) output from the A / D conversion unit 210, separates the reception state information and the data series, and outputs the reception state information to the reception state information storage unit 217. The data series is output to the decoding unit 212.

Decoding section 212 performs error correction decoding on the data series extracted by demapping section 211 and extracts received data.
The reception state information storage unit 217 stores the reception state information notified from each terminal device 300 separated by the demapping unit 211 for each terminal device 300 and outputs it to the scheduling unit 214.

  FIG. 3 is a schematic block diagram showing the configuration of the terminal device 300 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The terminal device 300 includes an antenna unit 301, a radio reception unit 302 (also referred to as a reception unit), an A / D conversion unit 303, a GI removal unit 304, an FFT (Fast Fourier Transformation) unit 305, and a demapping unit 306. A decoding unit 307, a reception state measurement unit 308, a reception state information generation unit 309, an encoding unit 310, a mapping unit 311, a D / A conversion unit 312, a wireless transmission unit 313 (also referred to as a transmission unit), and a demodulation control unit 314. Have

The radio reception unit 302 receives the radio signal transmitted from the base station apparatus 200 via the antenna unit 301 and outputs it to the A / D conversion unit 303. For example, the radio reception unit 302 receives the amount of channel reception state information from the base station apparatus 200.
The A / D conversion unit 303 converts the analog signal received and down-converted by the wireless reception unit 302 into a digital signal and outputs the digital signal to the GI removal unit 304.
The GI removal unit 304 removes the guard period from the digital signal output from the A / D conversion unit 303 and outputs a signal from which the guard period is removed to the FFT unit 305.
The FFT unit 305 converts the OFDM signal output from the GI removal unit 304 into a modulation symbol sequence by performing a fast Fourier transform, and outputs the modulation symbol sequence to the demapping unit 306.
Demapping section 306 separates pilot symbols from the modulation symbol sequence output from FFT section 305 and outputs the result to reception state measurement section 308. Also, the demapping unit 306 demaps the downlink control information and outputs it to the demodulation control unit 314. Further, demapping section 306 demaps the data sequence according to the scheduling information and modulation parameter information output from demodulation control section 314 and outputs the result to decoding section 307. Note that channel compensation may be performed on the modulation symbol sequence based on the pilot symbols.

Decoding section 307 performs error correction decoding processing on the data sequence output from demapping section 306 according to the scheduling information and modulation parameter information output from demodulation control section 314, and outputs received data.
The demodulation control unit 314 determines scheduling information (information related to a channel assigned to transmission data addressed to the terminal device 300), modulation parameter information (information related to a modulation parameter of the assigned channel) from downlink control information output from the demapping unit 306. ), Notification request information is extracted, scheduling information and modulation parameter information are output to demapping section 306 and decoding section 307, and notification request information is output to reception state information generation section 309.

In addition, when the downlink control information is error correction encoded in advance in the base station apparatus 200, error correction decoding is performed. Further, in a system in which the base station apparatus 200 does not notify the notification request information to the terminal apparatus 300 whose notification request information is the same as the previous one, there is no notification request information addressed to the terminal apparatus 300 in the downlink control information. In this case, the reception state information generation unit 309 is instructed to generate the same reception state information as that notified to the base station apparatus 200 last time.
Furthermore, in a system in which the base station apparatus 200 does not assign a bit to the downlink control information for one of the notification request information for the L1 reception state information and the notification request information for the L2 reception state information, This corresponds to the case where there is no notification request information addressed to the terminal apparatus 300. In this case, the reception state information generation unit 309 is instructed to generate corresponding reception state information.

Reception state measurement section 308 measures the reception state in each channel using the pilot symbols output from demapping section 306, and outputs the reception state measurement result to reception state information generation section 309. In this embodiment, the case where the reception state is measured using the pilot symbol will be described. However, the reception state measurement using the data symbol and the reception state measurement using the error correction decoding determination result of the reception data are performed. Anyway.
The reception state information generation unit 309 generates reception state information of the channel measured by the reception state measurement unit 308 using the information amount received by the wireless reception unit 302. Specifically, based on the notification request information output from the demodulation control unit 314, the reception state information generation unit 309 determines that the reception state measurement unit 308 determines that the notification state information is information requesting L1 reception state information. Reception state information represented by L1 levels is generated from reception state measurement results for each output channel. Then, the reception status information generation unit 309 outputs the generated reception status information to the mapping unit 311. In addition, when the notification request information is information requesting L2 reception state information, the reception state information generation unit 309 uses L2 levels from the reception state measurement results in each channel output from the reception state measurement unit 308, respectively. The received reception state information is generated and output to the mapping unit 311.

Encoding section 310 performs error correction encoding on transmission data to base station apparatus 200 and outputs the data sequence to mapping section 311.
Mapping section 311 maps the reception state information generated by reception state information generation section 309 and the data sequence output from encoding section 310 to modulation symbols, and outputs the result to D / A conversion section 312. Note that the reception state information may be notified to the base station apparatus 200 separately from the transmission data to the base station apparatus 200.
The D / A conversion unit 312 converts the signal output from the mapping unit 311 into an analog signal and outputs the analog signal to the wireless transmission unit 313.
Radio transmission section 313 up-converts an analog signal output from the analog signal, and wirelessly transmits it from antenna section 301 to base station apparatus 200. For example, the wireless transmission unit 313 transmits the reception state information generated by the reception state information generation unit 309 to the base station apparatus 200 via the mapping unit 311 and the D / A conversion unit 312.

FIG. 4A to FIG. 4C are diagrams for explaining the L1 reception state information and the L2 reception state information used in the first embodiment of the present invention. 4 (a) to 4 (c), L1 reception state information is 4 levels per channel (L1 = 4, b1 = 2 bits), and L2 reception state information is 16 levels per channel (L2 = 16, b2). (4 bits) is an example of the correspondence between the reception state (here, CNR is used as the reception state) and each level.
For example, as shown in FIG. 4A, the L2 reception state information may be set so that one level of the L1 reception state information is subdivided into L2 / L1 levels (four levels).
Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, the reception status represented by the lowest level is the same, and the L2 reception status information subdivides each level of the L1 reception status information at other levels (subdivides into five levels). ) May be set as follows.
Further, as shown in FIG. 4C, the L2 reception state information may be set so as not to be subdivided with respect to the L1 reception state information. 4A to 4C are examples, and other settings may be used.

  Further, the relationship between each level of the L1 reception state information and the L2 reception state information and the reception state (CNR) is a correspondence relationship between the modulation parameter and the reception state (CNR) in adaptive modulation in the base station apparatus 200 (each modulation parameter). It can be determined based on the CNR threshold at the time of selection, etc., can be determined in consideration of scheduling, or can be determined by dividing a certain range of reception state (CNR) by L1 or L2. However, it is not limited to these methods.

FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining another example of the L1 reception state information and the L2 reception state information used in the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 shows a combination of a modulation scheme (three types of QPSK, 16QAM, and 64QAM in FIG. 5) and a channel coding rate R (1/3, 1/2, 3/4 in the example of FIG. 5) as reception state information. 2 shows an example of a correspondence relationship between each level of a reception state (CNR), L1 reception state information, and L2 reception state information when notifying MCS (Modulation and Coding Scheme) as shown in FIG. ing.
In FIG. 5, four levels (L1 = 4, b1 = 2 bits) of MCS per channel are used as L1 reception status information, and eight levels (L1 = 8, b2 = 3 bits) of MCS are used as L2 reception status information. An example of representing is shown. For the L1 reception status information, “no transmission”, “QPSK, R = 1/3”, “16QAM, R = 1/3”, “16QAM, R =” according to four levels determined by b1 = 2 bits. 1/2 "is specified. Here, QPSK means 4-level phase modulation, 16QAM means 16-value quadrature amplitude modulation, and R means redundancy. As for the L2 reception status information, “no transmission”, “QPSK, R = 1/3”, “QPSK, R = 1/2”, “16QAM, R =” depending on eight states determined by b2 = 3 bits. “1/3”, “QPSK, R = 3/4”, “16QAM, R = 1/2”, “16QAM, R = 3/4”, “64QAM, R = 3/4” are designated. Here, 64QAM means 64-value quadrature amplitude modulation.

  As described with reference to FIG. 4A to FIG. 4C and FIG. 5, the L2 reception state information can notify a more detailed reception state of each channel. The amount of information (number of bits) to be notified to is large, and the L1 reception state information can be reduced although the reception state of each channel to be notified becomes rough.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a process of the notification request determination unit 213 of the base station apparatus 200 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. That is, FIG. 6 shows the notification request information determination operation in the notification request determination unit 213.
First, the notification request determination unit 213 acquires the amount of transmission data addressed to each terminal device 300 from the transmission buffer unit 201 (step S601). Then, the notification request determination unit 213 repeats the following processing for each terminal device (terminal device 300-1 to terminal device 300-N (N is a natural number greater than or equal to 2)) (loop 1 from step S602 to S606). .
Next, the notification request determination unit 213 compares, for each terminal device, the amount of transmission data addressed to the terminal device and a predetermined threshold, for example, the average value of the amount of transmission data addressed to all terminal devices (step S603). If the transmission data amount is equal to or greater than the threshold, the terminal device is requested to request L2 reception state information (step S604). If the transmission data amount is less than the threshold value, the terminal device is selected. Is selected to request L1 reception status information (step S605).

  In the present embodiment, the amount of traffic of data transmitted from the base station device 200 to each terminal device is determined, and a predetermined threshold used for determining notification request information is set as “the amount of transmission data addressed to all terminal devices”. The case where the “average value” is used has been described. However, the predetermined threshold value used for determining the notification request information is not limited to this. For example, the number of terminal devices that notify the L1 reception state information and the number of terminal devices that notify the L2 reception state information are determined in advance. A value that realizes the ratio of the number of terminal devices such that the total information amount of the reception status information notified from all the terminal devices according to the notification request information is not more than a predetermined value. As described above, an index that can determine the amount of traffic of data transmitted from the base station apparatus to each terminal apparatus may be used as the threshold value.

  The predetermined threshold value used for determining the notification request information is preferably larger than 0 and less than or equal to the maximum transmission data amount per terminal device that can be stored in the transmission buffer unit 201.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a process of the scheduling unit 214 of the base station apparatus 200 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. That is, FIG. 7 shows the scheduling operation and modulation parameter selection operation in the scheduling unit 214.
The scheduling unit 214 reads the reception state information notified from each terminal device from the reception state information storage unit 217 (step S701). Then, the scheduling unit 214 allocates transmission data to be transmitted to each terminal apparatus that has notified the L2 reception state information to resource blocks based on the reception state information of each channel of each terminal apparatus (step S702).
Next, the scheduling unit 214 selects a modulation parameter for each resource block assigned in step S702 based on reception state information in the channel of the terminal device assigned to each resource block (step S703).

Next, the scheduling unit 214 allocates transmission data to be transmitted to each terminal apparatus that has notified the L1 reception state information to the remaining resource blocks allocated in step S702 based on the reception state information of each terminal apparatus (step S702). S704).
Then, the scheduling unit 214 selects a modulation parameter for each resource block assigned in step S704, based on the reception state information of each terminal device assigned to each resource block (step S705).
Next, the scheduling unit 214 outputs the scheduling result (scheduling information) and the modulation parameter selection result (modulation parameter information) to the encoding unit 202, the mapping unit 203, and the downlink control information generation unit 215 (step S706).

  FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining a reception state information notification request determination method according to the first embodiment of this invention. FIG. 8 shows an example of the reception state of each channel (CNR is used as the reception state in FIG. 8) in a certain terminal apparatus, and modulation parameters (modulation in FIG. 8) that realize the maximum transmission rate selectable in each channel at that time. Eight types of MCS that are combinations of a modulation scheme and a channel coding rate as parameters, ie, MCS0 to MCS7 are used, and the larger the number, the higher the transmission rate is MCS). It is the figure which showed an example whether transmission data can be allocated to the resource block of each channel about each when the amount is small (case 1) and large (case 2).

The maximum modulation parameter indicates a case where the maximum modulation parameter is determined based on an average of reception states in each channel. In addition, the L1 reception status information uses 2 bits per channel to report by selecting from four levels of MCS0, MCS2, MCS4, and MCS6 underlined, and the L2 reception status information uses 3 bits per level. Select from all 8 levels. This point is as already described in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 8, in the case 1 in which the amount of transmission data stored in the transmission buffer unit 201 is small and the modulation method can be transmitted by one resource block of MCS having a low transmission rate, the resource of any channel Transmission data can be assigned to a block. In such a case 1, it is not necessary to notify the L2 reception state information that expresses each reception state related to all channels in detail using a large number of bits, and each reception state related to all channels is used using a small number of bits. It is sufficient to notify the L1 reception state information that is roughly expressed.

In case 2 where the amount of transmission data stored in the transmission buffer unit 201 is large and transmission is possible with only one resource block of channel 3 whose modulation scheme is MCS7 or more in one resource block, resources that can be allocated Blocks must be extracted and assigned transmission data. In such a case 2, scheduling based on the L1 reception state information that cannot be notified of MCS7 because it is coarse at four levels is inefficient because it allocates a plurality of resource blocks, and the L2 reception state that can notify all levels in detail It is preferable to perform detailed scheduling by notifying information.
The same applies to the following embodiments.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, when notifying the reception state information from the plurality of terminal apparatuses 300 to the base station apparatus 200, each of the channels related to all channels according to the amount of downlink transmission data addressed to each terminal apparatus. L1 reception status information that represents the reception status by L1 levels expressed by b1 bits per channel or L2 reception status expressed by L2 levels expressed by b2 bits (b2> b1) per channel Select whether to notify information.
Therefore, for a terminal device that needs to allocate many resource blocks in the downlink and transmit a large amount of transmission data, it is based on the L2 reception state information that represents the reception state of each channel in detail using a large number of levels. Efficient scheduling and adaptive modulation can be preferentially performed, and higher speed transmission can be realized.

  On the other hand, for terminal devices with relatively little data to be transmitted in the downlink, scheduling and adaptive modulation are performed by performing scheduling and adaptive modulation based on L1 reception state information that roughly represents the reception state of each channel with a smaller number of levels. It is possible to reduce the amount of reception state information notified from the terminal device using the uplink.

  Based on the above, efficient scheduling and adaptation to terminal devices that require high-speed and large-capacity communication while suppressing the total amount of uplink reception status information notification from each terminal device in the entire system Modulation can be applied.

Since other configurations of the base station apparatus 900 are the same as those in the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted.

  Based on the transmission data amount information addressed to each terminal device from the transmission buffer unit 201, the notification request determination unit 913 sends L1-M reception state information and L2-M reception state information to each terminal device 300. Which is to be notified is determined, and the determination result is output to the downlink control information generation unit 215 as notification request information.

The reception state information storage unit 917 stores the reception state information notified from each terminal device 1000 separated by the demapping unit 211 together with the identification information of the corresponding channel for each terminal device, and outputs it to the scheduling unit 914.

  FIG. 10 is a schematic block diagram showing the configuration of the terminal apparatus 1000 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The terminal device 1000 includes an antenna unit 301, a radio reception unit 302, an A / D conversion unit 303, a GI removal unit 304, an FFT unit 305, a demapping unit 306, a decoding unit 307, a reception state measurement unit 308, and reception state information. A generation unit 1009, an encoding unit 310, a mapping unit 311, a D / A conversion unit 312, a wireless transmission unit 313, and a demodulation control unit 314 are included.

  In the terminal device 1000, a reception state information generation unit 1009 corresponding to the reception state information generation unit 309 of the terminal device 300 is different from that of the first embodiment (FIG. 3). Since the other configuration of the terminal device 1000 is the same as that of the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted.

The reception state information generation unit 1009 uses the amount of information received by the wireless reception unit 302 to receive reception state information (L1-M reception state) of a predetermined channel from the channels whose reception state measurement unit 308 has measured the reception state. Information or L2-M reception status information). Specifically, M channels having good reception state measurement results output from the reception state measurement unit 308 are selected, and the notification request information is L1-M based on the notification request information output from the demodulation control unit 314. In the case of information requesting reception state information, reception state information indicating identification information of the M channels and reception state measurement results of the M channels represented by L1 levels is generated. Then, the reception status information generation unit 1009 outputs the generated reception status information to the mapping unit 311.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing processing of the notification request determination unit 913 of the base station apparatus 900 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. That is, FIG. 11 shows the notification request information determination operation in the notification request determination unit 913.
First, the notification request determination unit 913 acquires the transmission data amount addressed to each terminal device from the transmission buffer unit 201 (step S1101). The notification request determination unit 913 repeats the following processing for each terminal device (terminal device 1000-1 to terminal device 1000-N) (loop 2 from step S1102 to S1106).
That is, the notification request determination unit 913 compares, for each terminal device, the amount of transmission data addressed to the terminal device and a predetermined threshold, for example, the average value of the amount of transmission data addressed to all terminal devices (step S1103). If the amount of transmission data is equal to or greater than the threshold, the terminal apparatus is selected to request L2-M reception state information (step S1104), and if the amount of transmission data is less than the threshold, the terminal A request is made to request L1-M reception status information from the device 1000-n (step S1105).

In the present embodiment, the amount of traffic of data transmitted from the base station apparatus 900 to each terminal apparatus 1000 is determined, and a predetermined threshold value used for determining notification request information is “amount of transmission data addressed to all terminal apparatuses” The case of using the “average value” has been described.
However, the predetermined threshold value used for determining the notification request information is not limited to this. For example, the number of terminal devices that notify L1-M reception state information and the terminal device that notifies L2-M reception state information The ratio of the number of terminal devices such that the total number of reception status information notified from all terminal devices in accordance with notification request information is equal to or less than a predetermined value. As long as it is an index that can determine the amount of traffic of data transmitted from the base station apparatus 900 to each terminal apparatus 1000, such as a value that realizes the above, other indices may be used.

  The predetermined threshold value used for determining the notification request information is preferably larger than 0 and less than or equal to the maximum transmission data amount per terminal device that can be stored in the transmission buffer unit 201.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing processing of the scheduling unit 914 of the base station apparatus 900 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. That is, FIG. 12 shows the scheduling operation and modulation parameter selection operation in the scheduling unit 914.
The scheduling unit 914 reads the reception state information notified from each terminal device from the reception state information storage unit 917 (step S1201).
Then, the scheduling unit 914 allocates transmission data to be transmitted to each terminal apparatus that has notified the L2-M reception state information to the resource block based on the reception state information of each channel notified by each terminal apparatus (step S1202).

Next, the scheduling unit 914 selects a modulation parameter for each resource block assigned in step S1202 based on reception state information in the channel of the terminal device assigned to each resource block (step S1203).
Next, scheduling section 914 allocates the transmission data to be transmitted to each terminal apparatus that has notified the L1-M reception state information to the remaining resource blocks allocated in step S1202 based on the reception state information of each terminal apparatus. (Step S1204).
Then, the scheduling unit 914 selects a modulation parameter for each resource block assigned in step S1204 based on the reception state information of each terminal device assigned to each resource block (step S1205).
Next, the scheduling unit 914 outputs the scheduling result (scheduling information) and the modulation parameter selection result (modulation parameter information) to the encoding unit 202, the mapping unit 203, and the downlink control information generation unit 215 (step S1206).

  Thus, according to the present embodiment, when the reception state information is notified from the plurality of terminal apparatuses 1000 to the base station apparatus 900, the reception state is good according to the amount of downlink transmission data addressed to each terminal apparatus. The L1-M reception state information including identification information of M channels is notified to the reception states related to the predetermined number M channels, or M reception states are related to the predetermined number M channels in good reception state. Whether to notify the L2-M reception status information including the identification information of the selected channel.

  Therefore, for a terminal device that needs to allocate many resource blocks in the downlink and transmit a large amount of transmission data, L2− is a detailed representation of the reception state regarding a channel having a good reception state using a large number of levels. Efficient scheduling and adaptive modulation based on the M reception state information can be preferentially performed, and higher speed transmission can be realized.

  On the other hand, for a terminal device with relatively little data to be transmitted in the downlink, scheduling and adaptive modulation are performed based on L1-M reception state information that roughly represents the reception state of a channel having a good reception state with a smaller number of levels. By doing so, it is possible to reduce the amount of information of the reception status information notified from those terminal apparatuses using the uplink.

  Based on the above, efficient scheduling and adaptation to terminal devices that require high-speed and large-capacity communication while suppressing the total amount of uplink reception status information notification from each terminal device in the entire system Modulation can be applied.

  In this embodiment, as the L1-M reception status information and the L2-M reception status information, channel identification information and reception status information indicating the reception status for each of a predetermined number M of channels with good reception status are used. However, instead of this, channel identification information on a predetermined number M of channels with good reception status and reception status information representing the average value of reception status in M channels with L1 or L2 levels May be used.

(Third embodiment)
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In the first embodiment, as reception status information for requesting notification from the base station device 200 to each terminal device 300, each reception status for all channels is represented by L1 levels expressed by b1 bits per channel. A case has been described in which either reception status information or L2 reception status information represented by L2 levels expressed by b2 bits (b2> b1) per channel is selected.
The base station apparatus 1300 according to the third embodiment uses, as reception state information for requesting notification, information indicating a reception state regarding the first channel and a difference value from an adjacent channel of information indicating the reception state regarding other channels. Reception state information (hereinafter referred to as L1) expressed by L1 ′ (L1 ′ is a natural number satisfying 2 ^b1′−1 <L1 ′ ≦ 2 ^{b1 ′} ) expressed by b1 ′ bits (b1 ′ is a natural number). L2 ′ (L2 ′ is a natural number satisfying 2 ^b2′−1 <L2 ′ ≦ 2 ^{b2 ′} ) expressed by b2 ′ bits (natural number satisfying b2 ′> b1 ′) and “differential reception state information” ) Of the reception state represented by the difference level (hereinafter referred to as L2 ′ difference reception state information).

  For example, reception state information using −2, −1, ± 0, +1 as 4 differential levels expressed by 2 bits, and −4, −3, − as 8 differential levels expressed by 3 bits. One of reception status information using 2, -1, ± 0, +1, +2, +3 is selected. Also, for example, reception status information using −4, −2, ± 0, +2 as 4 differential levels expressed by 2 bits, and −4, −3 as 8 differential levels expressed by 3 bits. , −2, −1, ± 0, +1, +2, +3 may be selected. Thus, as the difference level expressed by the b1 ′ bit and the b2 ′ bit, a value expressed by the two's complement of each bit number is used, or the range of the expressed difference value is almost the same.

That is, FIG. 15 shows the notification request information determination operation in the notification request determination unit 1313.
First, the notification request determination unit 1313 acquires the amount of transmission data addressed to each terminal device from the transmission buffer unit 201 (step S1501). The notification request determination unit 1313 repeats the following processing for each terminal device (terminal device 1400-1 to terminal device 1400-N) (loop 3 from step S1502 to S1506).
Then, the notification request determination unit 1313 compares, for each terminal device, the amount of transmission data addressed to the terminal device and a predetermined threshold, for example, the average value of the amount of transmission data addressed to all terminal devices (step S1503). If the transmission data amount is equal to or greater than the threshold, the terminal apparatus is selected to request L2 ′ differential reception status information (step S1504), and if the transmission data amount is less than the threshold, the terminal It is selected that L1 ′ difference reception status information is requested from the apparatus (step S1505).

In the present embodiment, the amount of traffic of data transmitted from the base station device to each terminal device is determined, and a predetermined threshold used for determining notification request information is “average transmission data amount addressed to all terminal devices”.

  The predetermined threshold value used for determining the notification request information is preferably larger than 0 and less than or equal to the maximum transmission data amount per terminal device that can be stored in the transmission buffer unit 201.

FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing a process of the scheduling unit 1314 of the base station apparatus 1300 according to the third embodiment of the present invention. That is, FIG. 16 shows a scheduling operation and a modulation parameter selection operation in the scheduling unit 1314.
The scheduling unit 1314 reads the reception state information notified from each terminal device from the reception state information storage unit 1317 or the reception state information restored by the difference value addition process (step S1601).
Then, the scheduling unit 1314 transmits the transmission data to be transmitted to each terminal apparatus that has notified the L2 ′ difference reception state information based on the reception state information of each channel as a result of the addition process of the difference value of each terminal apparatus. (Step S1602).

Next, the scheduling unit 1314 selects a modulation parameter for each resource block assigned in step S1602 based on the reception state information restored in the channel of the terminal device assigned to each resource block (step S1603). ).
Then, the scheduling unit 1314 allocates the transmission data to be transmitted to each terminal apparatus that has notified the L1 ′ reception state information to the remaining resource blocks allocated in step S1602 based on the reception state information of each terminal apparatus (step S1602). S1604).
Next, the scheduling unit 1314 selects a modulation parameter for each resource block assigned in step S1604 based on the restored reception state information of each terminal device assigned to each resource block (step S1605).
Then, scheduling section 1314 outputs the scheduling result (scheduling information) and the modulation parameter selection result (modulation parameter information) to encoding section 202, mapping section 203, and downlink control information generation section 215 (step S1606).

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the reception state information is notified from the plurality of terminal apparatuses 1400 to the base station apparatus 1300, reception for the first channel is performed according to the amount of downlink transmission data addressed to each terminal apparatus. Regarding the information indicating the state and other channels, the difference value from the adjacent channel of the information indicating the reception state is notified of the L1 ′ difference reception state information represented by L1 ′ difference levels expressed by b1 ′ bits, or The difference value from the adjacent channel of the information indicating the reception state regarding the first channel and the information indicating the reception state regarding the other channels is represented by L2 ′ difference levels expressed by b2 ′ bits (b2 ′> b1 ′). Whether to notify the received L2 ′ difference reception status information.

  Therefore, for a terminal device that needs to allocate many resource blocks in the downlink and transmit a large amount of transmission data, detailed L2 ′ differential reception status information that represents the reception status of each channel with a differential value having a large number of levels. Efficient scheduling and adaptive modulation based on the above can be preferentially performed, and higher-speed transmission can be realized.

  On the other hand, for a terminal device that has relatively little data to be transmitted in the downlink, scheduling and adaptive modulation are performed based on coarse L1 ′ differential reception state information in which the reception state of each channel is represented by a difference value having a smaller number of levels. As a result, it is possible to reduce the information amount of the reception state information notified from the terminal devices using the uplink.

  Based on the above, efficient scheduling and adaptation to terminal devices that require high-speed and large-capacity communication while suppressing the total amount of uplink reception status information notification from each terminal device in the entire system Modulation can be applied.

Or an average amount thereof (hereinafter referred to as an average bit rate of transmission data).
That is, the instantaneous bit rate and the average bit rate in the present embodiment are stored in the transmission buffer unit 1701 when the base station apparatus actually transmits based on the reception state information notified by each terminal apparatus according to the notification request information. This is an index representing the expected amount of transmitted data.

  FIG. 17 is a schematic block diagram showing the configuration of a base station apparatus 1700 according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. This base station apparatus 1700 is a schematic block diagram which shows the structure of the base station apparatus 1700 by the 4th Embodiment of this invention. The base station apparatus 1700 includes a transmission buffer unit 1701, an encoding unit 202, a mapping unit 203, an IFFT unit 204, a GI insertion unit 205, a D / A conversion unit 206, a wireless transmission unit 207, an antenna unit 208, and a wireless reception unit 209. , An A / D conversion unit 210, a demapping unit 211, a decoding unit 212, a notification request determination unit 1713, a scheduling unit 214, a downlink control information generation unit 215, a pilot generation unit 216, and a reception state information storage unit 217.

In the base station device 1700, the transmission buffer unit 1701 corresponding to the transmission buffer unit 201 of the base station device 200 and the notification request determination unit 1713 corresponding to the notification request determination unit 213 of the base station device 200 are the first embodiment ( Different from FIG. The other configuration of the base station apparatus 1700 is the same as that of the first embodiment, and thus the description thereof is omitted.
Here, a case will be described in which the reference for determining the reception status information for which notification is requested for the first embodiment is changed to the instantaneous bit rate or the average bit rate of the transmission data. The fourth embodiment can also be applied.

The transmission buffer unit 1701 acquires the bit rate of the transmission information that the transmission buffer unit 1701 outputs to the encoding unit 202 as the information amount of transmission information transmitted from the base station device 1700 to the terminal device, and the notification request determination unit 1713. Output to. For example, the transmission buffer unit 1701 accumulates the input transmission data in a buffer for each terminal device as a transmission destination, and is newly added to the transmission buffer within a predetermined time, for example, one subframe in FIG. Calculate the amount of transmission data addressed to each terminal device, that is, the instantaneous bit rate of transmission data, or the average bit rate of transmission data that is an average value over a predetermined time of the transmission data instantaneous bit rate, for example, a predetermined number of subframes, and request notification The data is output to the determination unit 1713.
As the bit rate of transmission data addressed to each terminal device, the quality of service (Quality) associated with the transmission data in the upper layer such as the network control layer or the medium access control layer (Media Access Control layer: MAC layer) is used. of service (QoS) information may be used.
In this case, QoS information regarding each transmission data is input to the transmission buffer unit 1701 from an upper layer, and based on this QoS information, a bit rate of transmission data addressed to each terminal apparatus is calculated and output to the notification request determination unit 1713.

Based on the instantaneous bit rate of the transmission data addressed to each terminal device from the transmission buffer unit 1701 or the average bit rate of the transmission data, the notification request determination unit 1713 informs each terminal device of the reception status for all channels. L1 reception state information represented by L1 levels (L1 is a natural number satisfying 2 ^b1-1 <L1 ≦ 2 ^b1 ) expressed by b1 bits (b1 is a natural number) per channel, and respective reception states for all channels Of L2 reception state information represented by L2 levels (L2 is a natural number satisfying 2 ^b2-1 <L2 ≦ 2 ^b2 ) expressed by b2 bits per channel (a natural number satisfying b2> b1) The decision result is output to the downlink control information generation unit 215 as notification request information.

  In the present embodiment, the configuration of the terminal device is the same as the configuration of the terminal device 300 (FIG. 3) according to the first embodiment, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing processing of the notification request determination unit 1713 of the base station device 1700 according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. That is, FIG. 18 shows the notification request information determination operation in the notification request determination unit 1713.
First, the notification request determination unit 1713 acquires the instantaneous bit rate or average bit rate of transmission data addressed to each terminal device from the transmission buffer unit 1701 (step S1801). Then, the notification request determination unit 1713 repeats the following processing for each terminal device (N terminal devices) (loop 4 from step S1802 to S1806).

  That is, the notification request determination unit 1713, for each terminal device, all terminals having an instantaneous bit rate or average bit rate of transmission data addressed to the terminal device and a predetermined threshold, for example, an instantaneous bit rate or average bit rate of transmission data. The average value of the device is compared (step S1803), and if the instantaneous bit rate or the average bit rate of the transmission data is equal to or greater than the threshold value, it is selected to request L2 reception status information from the terminal device ( In step S1804), if the instantaneous bit rate or average bit rate of the transmission data is less than the threshold, it is selected to request L1 reception state information from the terminal device (step S1805).

In the above embodiment, the amount of traffic of data transmitted from the base station device to each terminal device is determined, and the predetermined threshold used for determining the notification request information is “average transmission data amount addressed to all terminal devices”. The case where “value” is used has been described.
However, the predetermined threshold value used for determining the notification request information is not limited to this. For example, the number of terminal devices that notify the L1 reception state information and the number of terminal devices that notify the L2 reception state information are determined in advance. A value that realizes the ratio of the number of terminal devices such that the total information amount of the reception status information notified from all the terminal devices according to the notification request information is equal to or less than a predetermined value. As described above, other indices may be used as long as they are indices that can determine the amount of traffic of data transmitted from the base station apparatus to each terminal apparatus.

  The predetermined threshold used for determining the notification request information is preferably greater than 0 and less than or equal to the maximum communication speed (bit rate) per terminal device that can be stored in the transmission buffer unit.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the reception state information is notified from the plurality of terminal apparatuses 300 to the base station apparatus 1700, it depends on the instantaneous bit rate or average bit rate of the downlink transmission data addressed to each terminal apparatus. L1 reception state information that represents each reception state for all channels by L1 levels expressed by b1 bits per channel or L2 items expressed by b2 bits (b2> b1) per channel Whether to notify the L2 reception state information represented by the level of is selected.

  Therefore, for a terminal device that needs to allocate many resource blocks in the downlink and transmit a large amount of transmission data per unit time, L2 reception that represents the reception status of each channel in detail using a large number of levels. Efficient scheduling and adaptive modulation based on state information can be preferentially performed, and higher-speed transmission can be realized.

  On the other hand, scheduling and adaptive modulation are performed based on L1 reception state information that roughly represents the reception state of each channel with a smaller number of levels for a terminal device that has relatively few data to be transmitted per unit time in the downlink. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the information amount of the reception state information notified from those terminal apparatuses using the uplink.

  From the above, the entire system is efficient for terminal devices that require high-speed and large-capacity communication per unit time while suppressing the total amount of uplink reception status information from each terminal device. Scheduling and adaptive modulation can be applied.

Efficient scheduling and adaptive modulation can be preferentially performed, and higher speed transmission can be realized.

  Furthermore, for terminal devices that need to allocate medium resource blocks among all terminal devices in the downlink and transmit medium amounts of transmission data, the reception status of each channel is determined from the L3 reception status information. However, based on the L2 reception state information expressed using the number of levels that is less than the L1 reception state information, it is possible to perform scheduling and adaptive modulation preferentially after the terminal device that has notified the L3 reception state information. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the information amount of the reception state information notified using the uplink without excessively reducing the data transmission efficiency in the downlink.

On the other hand, for terminal devices with relatively little data to be transmitted in the downlink, scheduling and adaptive modulation are performed by performing scheduling and adaptive modulation based on L1 reception state information that roughly represents the reception state of each channel with a smaller number of levels. It is possible to reduce the amount of reception state information notified from the terminal device using the uplink.
Based on the above, efficient scheduling and adaptation to terminal devices that require high-speed and large-capacity communication while suppressing the total amount of uplink reception status information from each terminal device in the entire system Modulation can be applied.

Description is omitted. In addition, although this embodiment demonstrates the case where the base station apparatus and terminal device by 1st Embodiment are used, it is not limited to this, The base station apparatus by 2nd to 6th Embodiment and A terminal device may be used.

FIG. 24 is a sequence diagram showing processing of the base station device and the terminal device according to the seventh embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 24 illustrates processing related to notification of initial notification request information and reception state information between the base station apparatus and the terminal apparatus.
First, when the first downlink transmission data addressed to the terminal device is input to the transmission buffer unit (step S2401), the base station device transmits L1 reception state information that is first reception state information to the terminal device. Notification request information to be requested is generated (step S2402).
Then, the base station apparatus notifies the notification request information generated in step S2402 to the terminal apparatus A as part of the downlink control information (step S2403).

The terminal apparatus receives the notification request information requesting the L1 reception state information, and measures the reception state regarding each channel from the downlink pilot symbol (step S2404).
Then, the terminal apparatus generates L1 reception state information represented by L1 levels from the reception state measurement result of each channel (step S2405).
Next, the terminal apparatus notifies the base station apparatus of the L1 reception state information generated in step S2405 (step S2406).

Next, the base station apparatus receives the L1 reception state information transmitted by the terminal apparatus in step S2406, and performs downlink scheduling and adaptive modulation together with the reception state information from other terminal apparatuses (step S2407). .
Then, based on the amount of transmission data addressed to the terminal device, the base station device selects reception status information requested from the terminal device from L1 reception status information and L2 reception status information, and generates notification request information (step S2408).
Next, the base station apparatus notifies the terminal apparatus of the notification request information generated in step S2408 as part of the downlink control information (step S2409).
FIG. 24 illustrates a case where L2 reception state information is selected in step S2408.

The terminal apparatus receives notification request information requesting L2 reception state information from the base station apparatus, and measures the reception state regarding each channel from downlink pilot symbols (step S2410).
Then, the terminal device generates L2 reception state information represented by L2 levels from the reception state measurement result of each channel (step S2411).
Next, the terminal apparatus notifies the base station apparatus of the L2 reception state information generated in step S2411 (step S2412).

  Thereafter, while there is transmission data addressed to the terminal device, the processing from step S2407 to S2412 is repeated. Steps S2402 to S2406 are the first notification request information and reception state information notification processing in this embodiment.

  In FIG. 24, the timing at which the first transmission data addressed to the target terminal apparatus is input to the transmission buffer unit is described as the timing at which the reception state information is first requested. However, the present invention is not limited to this. From the timing when the target terminal device makes a connection request to the base station device, the timing when authentication is completed between the base station device and the target terminal device, and the state where the terminal device temporarily interrupts communication It can also be applied to the return timing.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when the reception state information is first requested from the terminal device, the first reception state information having the smallest bit number (level number) is requested from the terminal device. To do. As a result, when starting data communication between the base station apparatus and the terminal apparatus, the first reception state information that roughly represents the reception state of each channel from the terminal apparatus with a smaller number of levels is used. It is possible to reduce the amount of reception state information notified using a link.

(Eighth embodiment)
In the first embodiment, a case has been described in which the transmission data amount in the transmission buffer 201 is referred to when determining the reception state information to be notified from the base station apparatus 200 to each terminal apparatus 300.
When the base station apparatus 2500 in the eighth embodiment determines reception state information to be notified from the base station apparatus 2500 to each terminal apparatus 300, the amount of transmission data in the transmission buffer 201 and the maximum Doppler frequency in each terminal apparatus Refer to fd.

  FIG. 25 is a schematic block diagram showing the configuration of the base station device 2500 according to the eighth embodiment of the present invention. The base station device 2500 includes a transmission buffer unit 201, an encoding unit 202, a mapping unit 203, an IFFT unit 204, a GI insertion unit 205, a D / A conversion unit 206, a wireless transmission unit 207, an antenna unit 208, and a wireless reception unit 209. , A / D conversion section 210, demapping section 211, decoding section 212, notification request determination section 2513, scheduling section 914, downlink control information generation section 215, pilot generation section 216, reception state information storage section 217, maximum Doppler A frequency measurement unit 218 is included.

  In the base station device 2500, a notification request determination unit 2513 corresponding to the notification request determination unit 213 of the base station device 200 is different from that of the first embodiment (FIG. 2). Moreover, the point from which the maximum Doppler frequency measurement part 218 is provided differs from 1st Embodiment. The other configuration of the base station apparatus 2500 is the same as that of the first embodiment, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

The notification request determination unit 2513 notifies the base station device 2500 of the terminal device based on the information amount of the transmission information acquired by the transmission buffer unit 201 and the maximum Doppler frequency measured by the maximum Doppler frequency measurement unit 218. The amount of channel reception status information is determined.
For example, the notification request determination unit 2513 determines each terminal based on the measurement result of the maximum Doppler frequency fd measured by the maximum Doppler frequency measurement unit 218 and the transmission data amount information addressed to each terminal device from the transmission buffer unit 201. Receiving status of all channels for the device is expressed by L1 levels (L1 is a natural number satisfying 2 ^b1-1 <L1 ≦ 2 ^b1 ) expressed by b1 bits per channel (b1 is a natural number). L2 reception state information and each reception state for all channels are expressed by b2 bits (a natural number satisfying b2> b1) per channel (L2 is a natural number satisfying 2 ^b2-1 <L2 ≦ 2 ^b2 ). Which of the L2 reception state information represented by the level is to be notified is determined. Then, the notification request determination unit 2513 outputs the determination result to the downlink control information generation unit 215 as notification request information. Details of the procedure for determining the notification request information will be described later.
Specifically, the notification request determination unit 2513 includes the information amount of the reception state information of the channel that the terminal apparatus notifies the base station apparatus 2500 as the maximum Doppler frequency fd measured by the maximum Doppler frequency measurement unit 218 increases. The amount of channel reception status information is determined so as to reduce the number of times. Detailed processing of the notification request determination unit 2513 will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Maximum Doppler frequency measurement section 218 measures the maximum Doppler frequency of the signal received by base station apparatus 2500 from the terminal apparatus, based on the signal output from demapping section 211. The maximum Doppler frequency measurement unit 218 may be included in the base station device 2500 or the terminal device 300. When the terminal device 300 is provided, the measurement result of the maximum Doppler frequency fd may be reported to the base station device 2500.

  Note that the terminal device used in the present embodiment can be the same as the terminal device (FIG. 3) of the first embodiment, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

FIG. 26 is a flowchart showing processing of the notification request determination unit 2513 of the base station device 2500 according to the eighth embodiment of the present invention. That is, FIG. 26 shows the notification request information determining operation in the notification request determining unit 2513.
First, the notification request determination unit 2513 acquires the amount of transmission data addressed to each terminal device from the transmission buffer unit 201 (step S2601). Then, the notification request determination unit 2513 acquires the measurement result of the maximum Doppler frequency fd in each terminal device (step S2602).
The notification request determination unit 2513 repeats the following processing for each terminal device (N terminal devices) (loop 8 from step S2603 to S2608).
That is, the notification request determination unit 2513 compares, for each terminal device, the amount of transmission data addressed to the terminal device and a predetermined first threshold value, for example, the average value of the amount of transmission data addressed to all terminal devices (step S2604). ), When the transmission data amount is equal to or greater than the first threshold, the measurement result of the maximum Doppler frequency fd in the terminal device, a predetermined second threshold, for example, the time when the terminal device measures the reception state, and the base station device Is a coherent time obtained by multiplying a reciprocal of the maximum Doppler frequency fd by a time between the time when the terminal device receives transmission data that is scheduled / adaptively modulated based on the reception state measurement result, and so-called processing delay. A value determined so as to coincide with the time is compared (step S2605), and the measurement result of the maximum Doppler frequency fd is the second. If it is less than the value, it is selected to request L2 reception state information (step S2606), and if the transmission data amount is less than the first threshold or the measurement result of the maximum Doppler frequency fd is greater than or equal to the second threshold. Selects to request the terminal device for L1 reception status information (step S2607).

In this embodiment, the amount of traffic of data transmitted from the base station apparatus to each terminal apparatus is determined, and a predetermined first threshold value used for determining notification request information is “amount of transmission data addressed to all terminal apparatuses”. The case of using the “average value” has been described.
However, the predetermined first threshold value used for determining the notification request information is not limited to this. For example, the number of terminal devices that notify L1 reception state information and the number of terminal devices that notify L2 reception state information are determined. Realizes a value that is set to a predetermined ratio or a ratio of the number of terminal devices that the total amount of reception status information notified from all terminal devices in response to notification request information is less than or equal to a predetermined value As long as it is an index that can determine the amount of traffic of data transmitted from the base station apparatus to each terminal apparatus, such as a value to be used, another index may be used.

The predetermined first threshold value used for determining the notification request information is preferably larger than 0 and less than or equal to the maximum transmission data amount per terminal device that can be stored in the transmission buffer unit.
The predetermined second threshold is “between the time when the terminal device measures the reception state and the time when the terminal device receives the transmission data that the base station device performs scheduling / adaptive modulation based on the reception state measurement result”. The case where a value determined so that the so-called processing delay, the so-called processing delay, coincides with the coherent time obtained by multiplying the reciprocal of fd by a constant has been described.
However, the predetermined second threshold value used for determining the notification request information is not limited to this. For example, the reception state at the time when the terminal device measures the reception state indicates that the base station device indicates the reception state measurement result. The effect is obtained if the value is the maximum Doppler frequency fd that is substantially the same value as the reception state at the time when the terminal apparatus receives the transmission data subjected to scheduling / adaptive modulation on the basis thereof.

  In the above description, the case where the maximum Doppler frequency fd in the terminal apparatus is used as an index indicating the speed of fluctuation of the reception state measurement result of the channel of each terminal apparatus has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the coherent time at the terminal device, the reception state at the time when the terminal device measures the reception state, and the reception at the time when the terminal device receives transmission data that is scheduled / adaptively modulated based on the reception state measurement result by the base station device Other indicators related to the speed of fluctuation of the reception state measurement result of the channel of each terminal device, such as a difference from the state and a value obtained by measuring the moving speed of the terminal device, may be used.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the reception state information is notified from the plurality of terminal apparatuses 300 to the base station apparatus 2500, the amount of downlink transmission data addressed to each terminal apparatus and the fd in each terminal apparatus are determined. L1 reception state information that represents each reception state for all channels by L1 levels expressed by b1 bits per channel or L2 items expressed by b2 bits (b2> b1) per channel Whether to notify the L2 reception state information represented by the level of is selected.

  Therefore, for a terminal apparatus that needs to allocate many resource blocks in the downlink and transmit a large amount of transmission data, obtain L2 reception state information that represents the reception state of each channel in detail using a large number of levels. Therefore, efficient scheduling and adaptive modulation based on detailed reception status information of each channel can be preferentially performed, and higher-speed transmission can be realized.

  Furthermore, even if it is necessary to transmit a large amount of transmission data, the channel reception state varies rapidly, and the reception state changes before and after the processing delay. Since the L1 reception state information is roughly represented by a smaller number of levels, the amount of reception state information notified from the terminal devices using the uplink can be reduced.

On the other hand, since L1 reception status information is reported for terminal devices with relatively little data to be transmitted on the downlink, it is possible to reduce the amount of reception status information notified from the terminal devices using the uplink. it can.
Based on the above, efficient scheduling and adaptation to terminal devices that require high-speed and large-capacity communication while suppressing the total amount of uplink reception status information from each terminal device in the entire system Modulation can be applied.

In the first to eighth embodiments described above, a multicarrier transmission system (in particular, an OFDM transmission system) is used as a transmission system, a channel configuration including at least one subcarrier is used as a channel configuration, and the target unit of adaptive modulation is a channel. A case has been described where a CNR calculated based on pilot symbols is used as a reception state in a cellular system in which adaptive scheduling (channel allocation) is performed for each channel.
However, the modulation scheme, channel configuration, target unit for adaptive modulation, adaptive scheduling (channel allocation), and reception status are not limited to such conditions.
For example, an MC-CDMA (Multi Carrier-Code Division Multiple Access) system using spreading technology as a transmission system is used, and the unit of adaptive modulation and adaptive scheduling is SDMA (Multiple Input Multiple Output) such as MIMO (Space Division Multiple Access: In other systems that communicate using a plurality of channels, such as a plurality of channels indicated by a transmission antenna or eigenmode in space division multiple access), a plurality of code channels in CDMA, or a combination of these channels, Each embodiment of the present invention can be used in a system in which the reception state may be different for each channel.

  The reception status information includes RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator), SNR, SIR (Signal to Interference power Ratio), SINR (Signal to Interference plus Noise power Ratio). Power and noise power ratio), CIR (Carrier to Interference power Ratio), CINR (Carrier to Interference plus Noise power Ratio), etc. It relates to the transmission rate of the modulation parameter selected according to the propagation path state such as the index indicating the reception state in relation to the power, the modulation parameter such as MCS which is a combination of the modulation method and the channel coding rate, and the transmission rate. Other indices may be used as long as they are indices.

In the first to eighth embodiments described above, the communication system adopts FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) composed of a base station device and a plurality of terminal devices, and is a downlink communication. 1 uses an OFDM adaptive modulation system, and uplink communication uses a system that does not perform OFDM and adaptive modulation, but is not limited thereto.
Further, in the first to eighth embodiments described above, any one of a plurality of wireless communication apparatuses can perform a scheduling function and adaptive modulation, and another wireless communication apparatus can perform a reception state information transmission function. It can be applied to the wireless communication devices in

Note that, between the two wireless communication devices, the side that notifies the reception status information of the channel (the side having the reception status information transmission function) is the terminal device, and the transmission data to each terminal device is sent based on the notified reception status information. Although the side that performs adaptive modulation assigned to each channel (the side that performs the scheduling function) has been described as a base station apparatus, a single wireless communication apparatus may have both functions.
This wireless communication device is a device that performs wireless communication, and includes a base station device, a terminal device, a wireless device, a mobile terminal device, a mobile phone, and the like.

  In the embodiment described above, each part of the base station device (FIGS. 2, 9, 13, 17, 17, and 25) in the first to eighth embodiments and the terminal device (FIG. 3, 10, 14, and 20) or a program for realizing a part of these functions is recorded on a computer-readable recording medium, and the program recorded on the recording medium is stored in a computer system. The base station apparatus and the terminal apparatus may be controlled by reading and executing. Here, the “computer system” includes an OS and hardware such as peripheral devices.

  The “computer-readable recording medium” refers to a portable medium such as a flexible disk, a magneto-optical disk, a ROM, and a CD-ROM, and a storage device such as a hard disk built in the computer system. Further, the “computer-readable recording medium” dynamically holds a program for a short time, like a communication line when transmitting a program via a network such as the Internet or a communication line such as a telephone line. In this case, it is also assumed that a server that holds a program for a certain time, such as a volatile memory inside a computer system that serves as a server or client. The program may be a program for realizing a part of the functions described above, and may be a program capable of realizing the functions described above in combination with a program already recorded in a computer system.
