Description

  The present invention relates to a transmitter, a receiver, a wireless communication apparatus, and a wireless communication method, and particularly to a transmitter, a receiver, a wireless communication apparatus, and a wireless communication method that employ adaptive modulation.

  Adaptive modulation is generally known as a technique for realizing high-quality and high-speed transmission even in a fading environment. In adaptive modulation, communication is performed with a modulation scheme having a small modulation multi-level number when the radio channel condition is deteriorated, and communication is performed with a modulation scheme having a large modulation multi-level number when the radio channel condition is good. This is a communication method to be performed. Adaptive modulation is widely used in fixed microwave radio transmission devices, mobile communication radio base station devices, and the like.

  A general wireless communication device using adaptive modulation estimates a state of a wireless propagation path from a received signal and determines a modulation method, and then transmits the modulation method to a facing wireless communication device (hereinafter referred to as an opposite station). To do.

  The opposite station modulates data from the communication network (hereinafter referred to as transmission data) based on the modulation method received from the wireless communication device, and transmits the data to the wireless communication device. At this time, the opposite station also transmits the modulation method to the wireless communication device so that the wireless communication device can demodulate the transmission data. The wireless communication device demodulates the received signal based on the received modulation scheme.

  With the above-described operation, a general wireless communication apparatus using adaptive modulation performs communication using a modulation scheme according to the state of the wireless propagation path. The code that defines the modulation scheme is between the wireless communication apparatus and the opposite station. It needs to be transmitted and received without error.

  Patent Document 1 discloses an invention for transmitting a code that defines a modulation method without error between a wireless communication apparatus and an opposite station.

  The transmission / reception circuit in the wireless communication device of Patent Document 1 includes an error correction coding circuit, a modulation circuit, a demodulation circuit, an error correction circuit, and a quality judgment value calculation circuit, and operates as follows. .

  The error correction coding circuit multiplexes the input signal to the wireless communication apparatus and the modulation method determination signal input from the switching determination circuit and outputs the multiplexed signal to the modulation circuit. The modulation circuit outputs the modulation method output from the error correction circuit. The output signal of the error correction coding circuit is modulated according to the designated signal.

  The demodulation circuit demodulates the received signal according to the modulation method determination signal input from the switching determination circuit and outputs the demodulated signal to the error correction circuit. Output.

  The error correction circuit detects and corrects an error in the output signal of the demodulation circuit, outputs an error-corrected signal, outputs error detection information to the quality judgment value calculation circuit, and modulates the signal extracted from the output signal of the demodulation circuit. The system determination signal is output to the modulation circuit as a modulation system designation signal.

  The quality judgment value calculation circuit calculates a quality judgment value from the input error detection information and the modulation scheme information signal, and outputs the quality judgment value to the switching judgment circuit.

  The switching determination circuit calculates a modulation method determination signal from the input quality determination value, and outputs the modulation method determination signal to the error correction coding circuit and the demodulation circuit.

  With the configuration and operation described above, the modulation scheme is switched at an appropriate timing so that the communication quality does not deteriorate on the radio propagation path even when the radio propagation environment changes rapidly.

JP 2009-065401 A

  However, when the wireless communication device described in Patent Document 1 multiplexes and transmits a modulation method or transmission data in one wireless frame, the code that defines the modulation method is changed to a code in which the same code is relatively continuous. May be sent. The reason is that when a modulation scheme and transmission data are multiplexed and transmitted in one radio frame, the radio communication apparatus in Patent Document 1 does not have means for always changing the code that defines the modulation scheme to a code with randomness. It is.

  For example, when transmitting a modulation method represented by all zero codes, the wireless communication device described in Patent Document 1 uses a code that is a linear code even if an error correction code is given by an error correction coding circuit. In the case of granting, all the symbols remain 0. The wireless communication device described in Patent Document 1 does not have means for making a code with randomness, and therefore transmits a code of all 0s that are consecutive in the same code as a code that defines a modulation method.

  As a result, a receiver that has received a signal having the same code continuity (a code that defines the modulation method) cannot detect with high accuracy because the signal having the same code continuation is a signal having no phase change. When the continuous length is longer than allowable, there is a problem that the quality of the received signal deteriorates.

  Note that, in a wireless communication apparatus using adaptive modulation, it is generally known to perform a scramble process so that transmission signals do not continue with the same code. However, when a modulation scheme and transmission data are multiplexed and transmitted in one radio frame, a radio communication apparatus using adaptive modulation cannot perform a scramble process on a code that defines the modulation scheme.

  The data size in one radio frame is uniquely determined by the code that defines the modulation method, and based on this size, the radio communication apparatus using adaptive modulation performs descrambling processing of transmission data. For this reason, a wireless communication device using adaptive modulation needs to extract a modulation scheme prior to descrambling processing.

  That is, when the radio communication apparatus described in Patent Document 1 transmits a modulation scheme and transmission data multiplexed in one radio frame, the code that defines the modulation scheme is transmitted in the same code sequence. The receiver that has received the signal has a problem that the quality of the received signal deteriorates.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a transmitter, a receiver, a wireless communication apparatus, and a wireless communication method that solve the above-described problems.

To achieve the above object, the transmitter of the present invention is a transmitter employing adaptive modulation for adaptively selecting a modulation scheme,
Code conversion means for converting a code that defines a modulation method among signals to be transmitted into a code whose maximum continuous code length is less than or equal to the continuous code length allowed by the transmission system to which the transmitter is applied. Prepare.

In order to achieve the above object, the receiver of the present invention uses a predetermined rule to specify a code that defines a modulation method stored at a predetermined position in a radio frame, and the maximum same code continuous length is a predetermined continuous length. A receiver that employs adaptive modulation to receive a signal converted into a code that is:
A code inverse conversion means is provided for converting a signal at a predetermined position in the radio frame, among the demodulated signals, according to the predetermined rule prior to descrambling the transmission data.

  According to the present invention, even when a modulation scheme and transmission data are multiplexed and transmitted in one radio frame, the radio communication device (transmitter) always uses a code that defines the modulation scheme as a continuous code. It becomes possible to transmit with a random code.

  In addition, the wireless communication device (receiver) can prevent the quality of the received signal from deteriorating.

[First Embodiment]
[Description of configuration]
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of a wireless communication apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the wireless communication apparatus according to the first embodiment includes a transmitter 10 and a receiver 20.

  Further, the modulation scheme control unit 204 and the radio frame extraction unit 205 are connected to the overhead determination unit 501 of the transmitter 10.

  Each means is realized using an electronic circuit, a DSP, or the like.

  Note that the functions of the radio frame multiplexing means 101, the TX baseband processing means 102, and the modulation means 103 of the transmitter 10 are known functions that are executed by a general radio communication apparatus using adaptive modulation.

  The functions of the demodulating unit 201, the RX baseband processing unit 203, the modulation scheme control unit 204, and the radio frame extraction unit 205 of the receiver 20 are also known to be executed by a general radio communication apparatus using adaptive modulation. It is a function.

  First, the function of the transmitter 10 will be described.

  Transmission data (hereinafter referred to as radio frame multiplexing) from a communication network connected to the radio frame multiplexing means 101 of the transmitter 10 by wire such as Ethernet (registered trademark) / PDH (Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy) / SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy). Means input signal 11).

  Further, the overhead direction determination unit 501 of the transmitter 10 receives the own direction modulation method information 45 from the radio frame extraction unit 205 of the receiver 20 and the transfer modulation method information 46 from the modulation method control unit 204 of the receiver 20. The

  The self-direction modulation method information 45 is a modulation method that the modulation method control means 204 of the opposing wireless communication apparatus estimates the state of the wireless propagation path from the received signal and is determined to be optimal for communication in the own direction from the transmitter 10. It is the code | symbol shown. The self-direction modulation method information 45 is extracted from the received signal by the radio frame extraction means 205 of the receiver 20.

  The modulation method information 46 for transfer is the modulation method that the modulation method control means 204 of the receiver 20 estimates the state of the wireless propagation path from the received signal and is determined to be optimal for communication in the own direction from the opposite wireless communication device. It is the code | symbol shown. The transfer modulation method information 46 is transmitted to the opposite wireless transmission device.

  The overhead determining means 501 converts the self-direction modulation method information 45, which is a code that defines the modulation method, into a code whose maximum same code continuous length is less than or equal to the same code continuous length allowed by the transmission system of this embodiment. To do.

  Specifically, the overhead determination unit 501 adds an error correction code to the self-direction modulation scheme information 45 and performs exclusive OR with a pseudo-random sequence (hereinafter referred to as a random code 61). The signal is a self-direction modulation scheme information redundancy code 55.

  The random code 61 can be generated by a PN generation circuit or the like.

  The overhead determining unit 501 treats the transfer modulation method information 46 as the transfer modulation method information 56 and outputs the self-direction modulation method information redundancy code 55 and the transfer modulation method information 56 to the radio frame multiplexing unit 101.

  The overhead determining unit 501 calculates the result of adding an error correction code in advance to all the codes that define the modulation scheme and performing exclusive OR with the random code 61, and the result (hereinafter, table calculation result). May be held).

  That is, the overhead determining unit 501 may include a correspondence table (hereinafter referred to as a table) of codes that define modulation schemes and table calculation results. By using this table, every time the own direction modulation method information 45 is input, the overhead determining unit 501 does not perform the exclusive OR or the like, and the own direction modulation method information 45 is changed from the own direction modulation method information 45. Conversion to the redundancy code 55 is possible.

  The radio frame multiplexing means 101 stores the input self-direction modulation method information redundancy code 55.

  The radio frame multiplexing means 101 multiplexes the self-direction modulation scheme information redundancy code 55 and the transfer modulation scheme information 56 into the radio frame format.

  Here, the configuration of the radio frame format will be described.

  FIG. 2 is an example of a radio frame format in the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the radio frame format includes an overhead area 1000 and a payload area 1001. The overhead area 1000 includes a frame pattern area 1100, a self-direction modulation scheme information area 1101, and a transfer modulation scheme information area 1102.

  In the frame pattern area 1100, a fixed data pattern for establishing frame synchronization is multiplexed by the radio frame multiplexing means 101.

  The self-direction modulation method information redundancy code 55 is multiplexed by the radio frame multiplexing means 101 in the self-direction modulation method information area 1101.

  The transfer modulation method information 56 is multiplexed in the transfer modulation method information area 1102 by the radio frame multiplexing means 101.

  Radio frame multiplexing means input signal 11 is multiplexed in payload area 1001 by radio frame multiplexing means 101.

  Each pattern, data length, and multiplexing order of the overhead area 1000 can be arbitrarily determined according to the environment used by the wireless transmission device of this embodiment.

  The radio frame multiplexing means 101 described above multiplexes the radio frame multiplexing means input signal 11 in the payload area 1001.

  Radio frame multiplexing means 101 multiplexes a fixed data pattern for establishing frame synchronization in frame pattern area 1100 and outputs the multiplexed signal as TX baseband processing means input signal 12 to TX baseband processing means 102. To do.

  The TX baseband processing means 102 performs error correction code addition and scramble processing on the modulation method information area 1102 for transfer and the payload area 1001 of the TX baseband processing means input signal 12.

  The TX baseband processing unit 102 outputs the scrambled signal as a TX baseband processing unit output signal 13 to the modulation unit 103.

  The modulation means 103 extracts the self-direction modulation scheme information redundancy code 55 from the TX baseband processing means output signal 13. Since the extracted self-direction modulation scheme information redundancy code 55 is applied from the next radio frame, the modulation means 103 stores the extracted own-direction modulation scheme information redundancy code 55.

  The modulation unit 103 performs modulation processing on the TX baseband processing unit output signal 13 using the modulation scheme indicated by the self-direction modulation scheme information redundancy code 55 extracted one radio frame before.

  If the modulation means 103 has not extracted the self-direction modulation scheme information redundancy code 55 immediately after the start of the wireless communication apparatus of the present embodiment, the lowest multi-level modulation scheme (QPSK) is used. The modulation process is performed with.

  The modulation means 103 performs waveform shaping, nonlinear distortion correction, etc. on the TX baseband processing means output signal 13 that has been subjected to modulation processing, and outputs the signal to the radio propagation path.

  On the other hand, the demodulation unit 201 of the receiver 20 performs power amplification, frequency conversion to an intermediate frequency band, and the like on a signal received from the opposite wireless communication apparatus.

  Further, the demodulating unit 201 performs a demodulating process based on the leading timing of the radio frame and the modulation scheme indicated by the demodulation processing modulation scheme information 44 notified from the frame synchronizing unit 202 one radio frame before.

  Specifically, the demodulation unit 201 performs demodulation processing on the received signal based on the modulation scheme indicated by the modulation processing modulation scheme information 44 from the start timing of the radio frame notified from the frame synchronization unit 202.

  If the radio communication apparatus according to this embodiment is activated immediately after the start of the radio frame and the modulation processing modulation information 44 for demodulation processing are not notified from the frame synchronization means 202, the demodulation means 201 receives all the received signals. On the other hand, demodulation is performed by the modulation method (QPSK) of the lowest multi-level number.

  The demodulator 201 outputs the demodulated signal to the frame synchronizer 202 as the demodulator output signal 21.

  Further, the demodulating unit 201 calculates a CNR (Carrier to Noise Ratio) and a reception level from the received signal, and outputs the CNR value signal 41 and the received level value signal 51 to the modulation scheme control unit 204.

  When the demodulation means output signal 21 is input from the demodulation means 201, the frame synchronization means 202 detects the start timing of the radio frame and establishes frame synchronization for the demodulation means output signal 21 by a known method. Further, the frame synchronization means 202 extracts the self-direction modulation scheme information redundancy code 55 from the demodulation means output signal 21 for demodulation. The self-direction modulation method information redundancy code 55 is multiplexed in the self-direction modulation method information area 1101 of the demodulation means output signal 21.

  The frame synchronization means 202 inversely transforms the signal at the predetermined position in the radio frame (the extracted self-direction modulation scheme information redundancy code 55) according to a predetermined rule to obtain a code that defines the modulation scheme.

  Specifically, the frame synchronization means 202 performs exclusive OR with the random code 61 implemented by the transmitter 10 (overhead determination means 501) on the extracted self-direction modulation scheme information redundancy code 55 for a predetermined value. Do as a rule.

  The frame synchronization means 202 performs error correction on the signal obtained by exclusive ORing with the random code 61 and outputs this signal to the demodulation means 201 as the modulation scheme information 44 for demodulation processing. Further, the frame synchronization unit 202 outputs the start timing of the radio frame to the demodulation unit 201.

  However, when the frame synchronization cannot be established, the frame synchronization unit 202 transmits the modulation processing modulation method information 44 indicating the lowest multi-level modulation method (QPSK) and the radio signal output to the demodulation unit 201 one radio frame before. The start timing of the frame is output to the demodulation means 201.

  If the frame synchronization means 202 has never detected the start timing of the radio frame immediately after the start of the wireless communication apparatus, the frame synchronization means 202 demodulates the initial timing as the start timing of the radio frame. To 201. The initial timing is a timing preset in the frame synchronization means 202 by the user of this embodiment.

  Further, when the frame synchronization cannot be established, the frame synchronization means 202 outputs an asynchronous notification signal A31 indicating that the frame synchronization is not established to the modulation scheme control means 204. Further, when the frame synchronization cannot be established, the frame synchronization means 202 outputs an asynchronous notification signal B32 indicating that the frame synchronization is not established to the radio frame extraction means 205.

  The start timing of the radio frame and the modulation method modulation information 44 output from the frame synchronization means 202 are used in the data of the next radio frame by the demodulation means 201.

  Note that the frame synchronization unit 202 may include a table, similar to the overhead determination unit 501. When a table is provided, the frame synchronization means 202 selects the extracted self-direction modulation scheme information redundancy code 55 and the table calculation result with the shortest inter-code distance. The frame synchronization means 202 obtains a code that defines the modulation method corresponding to the selected table calculation result from the table, and sets the code that defines the modulation method as the modulation method modulation method information 44.

  The frame synchronization means 202 outputs the signal for which frame synchronization has been established to the RX baseband processing means 203 as the RX baseband processing input signal 22.

  The RX baseband processing unit 203 performs descrambling processing and error correction processing on the transfer modulation method information area 1102 and the payload area 1001 of the RX baseband processing input signal 22.

  The RX baseband processing unit 203 outputs a signal subjected to descrambling processing to the radio frame extraction unit 205 as an RX baseband processing unit output signal 23.

  The modulation scheme control means 204 determines the modulation scheme based on the CNR value signal 41 and the reception level value signal 51. As a method for determining the modulation method, a known method can be used. The determined modulation scheme is output to the overhead determination means 501 of the transmitter 10 as the modulation scheme information 46 for transfer.

  However, when the asynchronous notification signal A31 is input from the frame synchronization unit 202, the modulation method control unit 204 sends the transfer modulation method information 46 indicating the lowest multi-level modulation method (QPSK) to the overhead determination unit 501. Output.

  When the RX baseband processing unit output signal 23 is input, the radio frame extraction unit 205 extracts new self-direction modulation method information 45 from the transfer modulation method information area 1102 of the RX baseband processing unit output signal 23. The radio frame extraction unit 205 outputs the extracted own direction modulation scheme information 45 to the overhead determination unit 501.

  However, when the asynchronous notification signal B32 is input from the frame synchronization unit 202, the radio frame extraction unit 205 sends the self-direction modulation method information 45 indicating the lowest multi-level modulation method (QPSK) to the overhead determination unit 501. Output.

  The radio frame extraction means 205 outputs transmission data multiplexed in the payload area 1001 (hereinafter referred to as radio frame extraction means output signal 24) to a communication network connected to Ethernet (registered trademark) / PDH / SDH or the like. To do.

[Description of operation]
FIG. 3 is a sequence diagram showing an operation of the transmitter 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a sequence diagram showing the operation of the receiver 20 in the first embodiment of the present invention. The transmitter 10 and the receiver 20 perform the operation periodically for each radio frame.

  First, the operation of the transmitter 10 will be described with reference to FIG. The overhead determining means 501 of the transmitter 10 receives the self-direction modulation method information 45 and the transfer modulation method information 46 from the receiver 20 (S100).

  The overhead determination unit 501 adds an error correction code to the input self-direction modulation scheme information 45 in order to increase resistance to deterioration of the state of the radio channel (S101).

  FIG. 5 shows a format example of a signal in which the overhead determination unit 501 adds an n-bit error correction code to a code that defines an m-bit modulation scheme and makes it redundant to m + n bits. FIG. 5 also shows a signal format example in the case of using eight types of modulation schemes of QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) / 16QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) / 32QAM / 64QAM / 128QAM / 256QAM / 512QAM / 1024QAM. . In this case, since each modulation method can be expressed by a 3-bit code pattern, it becomes a signal when redundancy is made to 3 + n bits.

  In the wireless communication apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the error correction method employs a Hamming code that allows error correction encoding / decoding to be performed relatively easily and in a short time. However, as the error correction method, a method other than the Hamming code may be used depending on the device to be applied.

  Next, the overhead determination unit 501 creates a signal (own direction modulation scheme information redundancy code 55) obtained by performing exclusive OR with the random code 61 on the signal to which the error correction code is added (S102).

  FIG. 6 is a specific example of a signal generated by the overhead determination unit 501.

  FIG. 6 shows an example in which a signal made redundant to m + n = 31 bits by Hamming code is created for 8 types of modulation systems expressed by m = 3 bits. In addition, FIG. 6 creates a signal (self-modulation information redundancy code 55) obtained by performing an exclusive OR with a random code 61 (a vector in FIG. 6) for the 31-bit redundant signal. An example is shown.

  The overhead determination unit 501 may hold the table and convert the own direction modulation method information 45 into the own direction modulation method information redundancy code 55.

  For example, the overhead determining unit 501 adds an m + n-bit Hamming code to all codes that define an m-bit modulation scheme, and calculates in advance an m + n-bit code obtained by performing exclusive OR with the random code 61. Keep it. The overhead determining unit 501 holds the calculated result and the correspondence table of modulation schemes as a table.

  Then, the overhead determination unit 501 can convert the input m-bit self-direction modulation method information 45 into self-direction modulation method information redundancy code 55 according to the table.

  Next, the overhead determining unit 501 treats the transfer modulation method information 46 as the transfer modulation method information 56 and treats the self-direction modulation method information redundancy code 55 and the transfer modulation method information 56 as the radio frame multiplexing unit 101. (S103).

  Radio frame multiplexing means 101 stores self-direction modulation scheme information redundancy code 55.

  The radio frame multiplexing means 101 multiplexes the radio frame multiplexing means input signal 11 input from the communication network connected by wire in the payload area 1001.

  Next, the radio frame multiplexing means 101 multiplexes the frame pattern for the receiver 20 facing to establish frame synchronization in the frame pattern area 1100.

  Further, the radio frame multiplexing means 101 multiplexes the self-direction modulation system information redundancy code 55 into the self-direction modulation system information area 1101 and multiplexes the transfer modulation system information 56 into the transfer modulation system information area 1102 (S104). .

  The radio frame multiplexing means 101 outputs the multiplexed signal (TX baseband processing means input signal 12) to the TX baseband processing means 102 (S105).

  Next, the TX baseband processing unit 102 adds an error correction code and scrambles the signals in the transfer modulation method information area 1102 and the payload area 1001 to generate a TX baseband processing unit output signal 13 as a modulation unit 103. (S106).

  Note that the TX baseband processing means 102 does not scramble the frame pattern area 1100 and the self-direction modulation scheme information area 1101. The reason why the scramble process is not performed is that the frame synchronization unit 202 of the opposite wireless communication apparatus needs to extract the self-direction modulation scheme information area 1101 for the descrambling process.

  The modulation means 103 extracts the self-direction modulation scheme information redundancy code 55 from the TX baseband processing means output signal 13. Since the extracted self-direction modulation scheme information redundancy code 55 is applied from the next radio frame, the modulation means 103 stores the extracted own-direction modulation scheme information redundancy code 55.

  Further, the modulation means 103 performs modulation processing on the TX baseband processing means output signal 13 by the modulation method indicated by the self-direction modulation method information redundancy code 55 extracted one radio frame before.

  If the modulation means 103 has not extracted the self-direction modulation scheme information redundancy code 55 immediately after the start of the wireless communication apparatus of the present embodiment, the lowest multi-level modulation scheme (QPSK) is used. The modulation process is performed with.

  Finally, the modulation unit 103 performs mapping processing, waveform shaping, nonlinear distortion correction, modulation processing, frequency conversion to a high frequency band, and power amplification on the TX baseband processing unit output signal 13 that has been subjected to modulation processing. After applying, output to the radio propagation path (S107).

  Subsequently, the operation of the receiver 20 will be described.

  The demodulating means 201 of the receiver 20 performs power amplification, frequency conversion to an intermediate frequency band, and the like on the received signal from the opposing wireless communication device.

  Further, the demodulating unit 201 performs a demodulating process based on the leading timing of the radio frame and the modulation scheme indicated by the demodulation processing modulation scheme information 44 notified from the frame synchronizing unit 202 one radio frame before.

  Specifically, the demodulation unit 201 performs demodulation processing on the received signal based on the modulation scheme indicated by the modulation processing modulation scheme information 44 from the start timing of the radio frame notified from the frame synchronization unit 202.

  If immediately after the start of the wireless communication apparatus according to the present embodiment, the demodulation method modulation scheme information 44 and the start timing of the wireless frame are not notified from the frame synchronization means 202, the demodulation means 201 outputs a received signal. On the other hand, demodulation is performed by the modulation method (QPSK) having the lowest multi-level number.

  Next, the demodulator 201 outputs the demodulated signal to the frame synchronizer 202 as the demodulator output signal 21 (S200).

  Further, the demodulating means 201 calculates a CNR (Carrier to Noise Ratio) and a reception level from the received signal, and outputs them to the modulation scheme control means 204 as the CNR value signal 41 and the received level value signal 51 (S201).

  The frame synchronization means 202 detects the start timing of the radio frame with respect to the input demodulation means output signal 21 by a known method, and establishes frame synchronization (S202).

  More specifically, the frame synchronization unit 202 performs verification of a signal assumed to be the frame pattern region 1100 of the demodulation unit output signal 21 with a known frame pattern. The frame synchronization means 202 establishes frame synchronization by obtaining a timing that coincides with a known frame pattern continuously for a predetermined number of times. The predetermined number of times can be arbitrarily set according to the environment in which the user of this embodiment uses the wireless transmission device.

  Subsequently, the frame synchronization means 202 extracts the self-direction modulation scheme information redundancy code 55 from the demodulation means output signal 21 for demodulation (S203).

  The self-direction modulation method information redundancy code 55 is multiplexed in the self-direction modulation method information area 1101 of the demodulation means output signal 21. The frame synchronization means 202 obtains a self-direction modulation scheme information area 1101 with reference to the head of the radio frame, and extracts a self-direction modulation scheme information redundancy code 55 multiplexed in this area.

  Next, the frame synchronization means 202 performs an exclusive OR with the random code 61 on the extracted self-direction modulation method information redundancy code 55, performs error correction, and converts this signal into modulation method information for demodulation processing. 44 to the demodulation means 201.

  Further, the frame synchronization unit 202 outputs the start timing of the radio frame to the demodulation unit 201. This is because the frame synchronization means 202 detects the start timing of the radio frame, so that the demodulation means 201 located in front of it cannot know the start timing of the radio frame.

  However, when the start timing of the radio frame cannot be detected and the frame synchronization is not established, the frame synchronization unit 202 uses the demodulation processing modulation method information 44 indicating the modulation method (QPSK) of the lowest multi-level number as the demodulation unit 201. Output to. Further, when the frame synchronization is not established, the frame synchronization unit 202 outputs the start timing of the radio frame output to the demodulation unit 201 before one radio frame to the demodulation unit 201 again.

  If the frame synchronization means 202 has never detected the start timing of the radio frame immediately after the start of the wireless communication apparatus, the frame synchronization means 202 demodulates the initial timing as the start timing of the radio frame. To 201. The initial timing is a timing preset in the frame synchronization means 202 by the user of this embodiment (S204).

  Note that the demodulation unit 201 may detect the start timing of the radio frame based on the timing at which the demodulation processing modulation scheme information 44 is received from the frame synchronization unit 202. In this case, the frame synchronization means 202 adjusts so as to output the modulation processing modulation method information 44 with the demodulation means 201 at a predetermined timing. By this timing adjustment, the demodulation unit 201 can demodulate at an appropriate timing.

  The start timing of the radio frame and the modulation method modulation information 44 output from the frame synchronization means 202 are used in the data of the next radio frame by the demodulation means 201.

  If the frame synchronization means 202 is provided with a table in the same manner as the overhead determination means 501, the frame synchronization means 202 calculates the table calculation result with the extracted self-direction modulation scheme information redundancy code 55 and the shortest inter-code distance. Select. The frame synchronization means 202 obtains a code that defines the modulation method corresponding to the selected table calculation result from the table, and sets the code that defines the modulation method as the modulation method modulation method information 44.

  The overhead determining means 501 adds an error correction code to the code that defines the modulation method and performs an exclusive OR with the random code 61. Before and after this operation, the distance between the codes that define each modulation method Will not change. Therefore, the frame synchronization means 202 can correctly obtain the code that defines the modulation method by selecting the table calculation result having the shortest inter-code distance using the above table.

  Next, when the frame synchronization cannot be established, the frame synchronization unit 202 performs asynchronous notification so that the wireless communication apparatus according to the present embodiment can perform modulation / demodulation using a modulation scheme (QPSK) that is highly resistant to errors from the wireless propagation path. The signal A31 is output to the modulation scheme control means 204. Further, when frame synchronization cannot be established, the frame synchronization means 202 outputs an asynchronous notification signal B32 indicating that frame synchronization is not established to the radio frame extraction means 205. The asynchronous notification signal A31 and the asynchronous notification signal B32 are signals indicating that frame synchronization has not been established (S205).

  Finally, the frame synchronization means 202 outputs the signal for which frame synchronization has been established as the RX baseband processing input signal 22 to the RX baseband processing means 203 (S206).

  The RX baseband processing means 203 performs error correction processing and descrambling processing on the transfer modulation method information area 1102 and payload area 1001 of the RX baseband processing input signal 22. The RX baseband processing means 203 outputs the signal subjected to the descrambling process to the radio frame extraction means 205 as the RX baseband processing means output signal 23 (S207).

  The modulation scheme control means 204 determines the modulation scheme based on the CNR value signal 41 and the reception level value signal 51. The determined modulation scheme is output to the overhead determination means 501 of the transmitter 10 as the modulation scheme information 46 for transfer. However, when the asynchronous notification signal A31 is input from the frame synchronization unit 202, the modulation method control unit 204 sends the transfer modulation method information 46 indicating the lowest multi-level modulation method (QPSK) to the overhead determination unit 501. Output (S208).

  The radio frame extracting unit 205 extracts new self-direction modulation method information 45 from the transfer modulation method information area 1102 of the input RX baseband processing unit output signal 23. The radio frame extraction unit 205 outputs the extracted own direction modulation scheme information 45 to the overhead determination unit 501 of the transmitter 10. However, when the asynchronous notification signal B32 is input from the frame synchronization unit 202, the radio frame extraction unit 205 sends the self-direction modulation method information 45 indicating the lowest multi-level modulation method (QPSK) to the overhead determination unit 501. Output (S209).

  Further, the radio frame extraction means 205 outputs the data (radio frame extraction means output signal 24) multiplexed in the payload area 1001 to a communication network connected to Ethernet (registered trademark) / PDH / SDH or the like (S210). .

  The transmitter 10 and the receiver 20 periodically perform the above-described processing for each radio frame. However, the transmitter 10 and the receiver 20 may perform the above-described process periodically for each of a plurality of radio frames. The number of radio frames in that case is arbitrarily set according to the environment used by the radio transmission apparatus.

  In the overhead determination means 501, the transfer modulation method information 46 is used as it is as the transfer modulation method information 56. However, like the self-direction modulation method information 45, error correction code assignment and exclusive use with the random code 61 are performed. A logical sum may be performed. In this case, the frame synchronization means 202 also performs error correction and exclusive OR with the random code 61.

  In this embodiment, a pseudo-random sequence is used as the random code 61, but the present invention is not limited to this. Any code sequence may be used as long as the code sequence has a relatively short code length and is equal to or shorter than the code sequence length allowed by the transmission system of the present embodiment. For example, a code in which codes 0 and 1 appear regularly alternately may be used.

[Operation example of modulation / demodulation processing]
FIG. 7A is a diagram illustrating an example of a demodulation operation performed in the receiver 20 (the demodulation unit 201 and the frame synchronization unit 202). FIG. 7B is a diagram illustrating an example of a modulation operation performed by the transmitter 10 (modulation unit 103) of the opposing wireless communication device. Together with the modulation operation example of the transmitter 10 shown in FIG. 7B, the demodulation operation of the receiver 20 will be specifically described below using FIG. 7A.

  First, as shown in FIG. 7B, the modulation means 103 of the transmitter 10 of the opposite wireless communication apparatus receives the TX baseband processing means output signal 13 of the first radio frame.

  The TX baseband processing means output signal 13 is subjected to an exclusive OR with the random code 61 by the overhead determining means 501, and the maximum same code continuous length is allowed by the transmission system to which the transmitter 10 is applied. It is a code that is equal to or less than the same code continuous length.

  Here, in the TX baseband processing means output signal 13, a code indicating a modulation scheme (16QAM) is multiplexed as a self-direction modulation scheme information redundancy code 55 in the own-direction modulation scheme information area 1101 (see FIG. 7B T100).

  The modulation means 103 extracts the self-direction modulation scheme information redundancy code 55 and stores the modulation scheme (16QAM) (FIG. 7B T101 process (1)).

  Further, since the modulation means 103 does not extract the self-direction modulation method information redundancy code 55 before one radio frame, the modulation means 103 uses the lowest multi-level modulation method (QPSK) for the TX baseband processing means output signal 13. Modulation processing is performed (FIG. 7B T101 processing (2)).

  Further, the modulation means 103 performs waveform shaping or the like on the TX baseband processing means output signal 13 that has been subjected to modulation processing, and outputs it to the radio propagation path (FIG. 7B T102).

  On the other hand, the demodulation unit 201 of the receiver 20 performs demodulation processing on the signal received from the wireless propagation path. Since it is immediately after startup, the frame synchronization unit 202 sends the start timing of the wireless frame and modulation method information for demodulation processing. 44 is not notified. For this reason, the demodulating means 201 demodulates the received signal using the lowest multi-level modulation method (QPSK) (FIG. 7A, R100 process (1)).

  Note that the demodulation means 201 needs to receive a certain amount of code for phase synchronization in detection at the time of demodulation, and for this purpose, a guard bit (code sequence for performing phase synchronization) is stored in the frame pattern area 1100. ) May be provided.

  Next, the demodulating means 201 performs waveform shaping or the like on the demodulated signal with the lowest multi-level modulation method (QPSK), and outputs the signal as the demodulating means output signal 21 to the frame synchronizing means 202. (FIG. 7A R101).

  The frame synchronization means 202 detects the start timing of the radio frame for the input demodulation means output signal 21 by a known method, and establishes frame synchronization (R102 processing (1) in FIG. 7A).

  Specifically, the frame synchronization unit 202 collates the frame pattern area 1100 with a known frame pattern at a predetermined timing, and obtains a timing that matches the known frame pattern.

  If the timing matching the known frame pattern cannot be obtained at one time, the frame synchronization means 202 performs the matching with the known frame pattern by shifting the matching timing by a predetermined amount.

  If the timing matching the known frame pattern is not yet obtained, the frame synchronization means 202 further shifts the matching timing by a predetermined amount and performs matching with the known frame pattern. This collation operation is repeated for a predetermined number of times in one radio frame until a timing that matches a known frame pattern is obtained.

  If it is not possible to obtain a timing that matches a known frame pattern in one radio frame, the above-described verification operation is continued even after the next radio frame.

  When the timing that matches the known frame pattern is obtained, the frame synchronization means 202 confirms whether or not it matches the known frame pattern at the same timing continuously for the predetermined number of frames. Assume that frame synchronization is established.

  The time for shifting the collation timing (the above-mentioned predetermined amount), the number of repetitions in one radio frame (the above-mentioned predetermined number of times), and the number of protection stages (the above-mentioned predetermined number of frames) are determined by the user of the present embodiment Can be set according to the environment in which

  Thereafter, the frame synchronization means 202 continues the description on the assumption that frame synchronization has been established at the first frame in order to explain the modulation / demodulation operation.

  If frame synchronization is not established, the radio communication apparatus according to the present embodiment performs modulation / demodulation with a modulation scheme (QPSK) that is highly resistant to errors from the radio propagation path until frame synchronization is established.

  If the frame synchronization is not established, the frame synchronization means 202 notifies the demodulation means 201 of the modulation processing modulation method information 44 indicating the lowest multi-level modulation method (QPSK). This is because the demodulation process is continued in QPSK. If frame synchronization is not established, the frame synchronization means 202 notifies the radio frame extraction means 205 of the asynchronous notification signal B32, and the modulation means 103 continues to perform modulation using the modulation method (QPSK).

  Since the frame synchronization means 202 knows the start timing of the radio frame, the frame synchronization means 202 detects the own direction modulation method information area 1101 from the demodulation means output signal 21, and the own direction modulation method information redundancy code 55 multiplexed in this area. To extract.

  Next, the frame synchronization means 202 subtracts the random code 61 from the extracted self-direction modulation scheme information redundant code 55 (by performing exclusive OR), performs error correction, and uses this signal for demodulation processing. The modulation method information 44 is used. Here, the demodulation processing modulation scheme information 44 is a code indicating the modulation scheme (16QAM) (FIG. 7A, R102 processing (2)).

  The frame synchronization means 202 outputs the start timing of the radio frame and the modulation processing modulation method information 44 to the demodulation means 201 (FIG. 7A, R103).

  The above is the operation related to the first radio frame.

  Subsequently, in the next second radio frame, the modulation means 103 of the transmitter 10 of the opposite radio communication apparatus inputs the next TX baseband processing means output signal 13.

  Here, in the TX baseband processing means output signal 13, a code indicating a modulation scheme (64QAM) is multiplexed as a self-direction modulation scheme information redundancy code 55 in the own-direction modulation scheme information area 1101 (see FIG. 7B T200).

  The modulation means 103 extracts the self-direction modulation scheme information redundancy code 55 and stores the modulation scheme (64QAM code) (FIG. 7B T201 processing (1)).

  The modulation means 103 performs modulation processing on the TX baseband processing means output signal 13 with the modulation method (16QAM) indicated by the self-direction modulation method information redundancy code 55 extracted one radio frame before (FIG. 7B T201). Process (2)).

  The modulation means 103 performs waveform shaping or the like and outputs the result to the wireless propagation path (T202 in FIG. 7B).

  On the other hand, the demodulating means 201 of the receiver 20 indicates the start timing of the radio frame and the modulation scheme modulation information 44 for demodulation processing notified from the frame synchronization means 202 one radio frame before the signal received from the radio propagation path. Based on the modulation method, demodulation processing is performed.

  Specifically, the demodulation unit 201 uses the modulation scheme (16QAM) indicated by the demodulation processing modulation scheme information 44 notified from the frame synchronization unit 202 one radio frame before the start timing of the radio frame with respect to the received signal. Demodulation is performed (FIG. 7A, R200 process (1)).

  Thereafter, the demodulating means 201 performs waveform shaping or the like on the demodulated signal, and outputs the signal to the frame synchronizing means 202 as the demodulating means output signal 21 (FIG. 7A R201).

  Next, the frame synchronization unit 202 performs the same operation as that of the first radio frame, and outputs to the demodulation unit 201 the start timing of the new radio frame and the modulation method modulation information 44 (64QAM) used in the next frame. (FIG. 7A R203).

  The modulation means 103, the demodulation means 201, and the frame synchronization means 202 for the third and subsequent radio frames are subjected to the same operation as the second radio frame described above, and adaptive modulation is performed.

[Description of effects]
In the present embodiment, even when a modulation scheme and transmission data are multiplexed and transmitted in one radio frame, the radio communication apparatus (transmitter) always uses a code that defines the modulation scheme as the same code sequence. It becomes possible to transmit with a random code.

  This is because the overhead determining unit 501 performs an exclusive OR on the code that defines the modulation method with a code sequence that is equal to or shorter than the same code continuous length allowed by the transmission system of the present embodiment.

In addition, since the wireless communication apparatus (receiver) can receive a random code that is not always the same code, the quality of the received signal can be prevented from deteriorating.
Further, the wireless communication device (receiver) converts the signal at a predetermined position in the wireless frame into a code sequence having the same code continuous length or less allowed by the transmission system of this embodiment prior to descrambling the transmission data. Since the exclusive OR is performed, the modulation method can be received correctly.

Perform logical OR. Then, the overhead determination unit 601 transmits the signal obtained by performing the exclusive OR to the modulation unit 103 as the TX baseband processing unit output signal 13.

Perform logical OR.

  Then, the overhead determining unit 601 multiplexes the signal obtained by performing the exclusive OR, and transmits it to the modulating unit 103 as a new TX baseband processing unit output signal 13 (S600). .

However, other operations are the same as those in the first embodiment, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted.

  Since other operations are the same as those in the first embodiment, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 3 are given and detailed description thereof is omitted.

[Description of effects]
