Description

本発明は、無線端末、無線基地局選択方法、および無線基地局選択プログラムに関する。   The present invention relates to a radio terminal, a radio base station selection method, and a radio base station selection program.

従来から、接続する無線基地局を選択する方法が知られている。
たとえば、特許文献1(特開2011−4262号公報)の無線端末では、制御部(100)は、無線通信部(10)を制御して、接続可能な基地局装置について、受信電力レベルだけでなく、システム帯域幅やDL−MAP(Down Link Mapping message)を受信して、これらに基づいて運用状況が判る混雑度を求めるとともに、CQI(Channel Quality Indicator)を測定して、これらの情報に基づいて接続した場合の予測レートを求め、これらの情報をユーザに報知する。
Conventionally, a method for selecting a radio base station to be connected is known.
For example, in the wireless terminal disclosed in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-4262), the control unit (100) controls the wireless communication unit (10) so that only the received power level can be obtained for connectable base station devices. In addition, the system bandwidth and DL-MAP (Down Link Mapping message) are received, and the degree of congestion is obtained based on these, and the CQI (Channel Quality Indicator) is measured, based on these information. Then, the predicted rate when the connection is made is obtained, and this information is notified to the user.

特開2011−4262号公報JP 2011-4262 A

しかしながら、特許文献1に記載の無線端末では、混雑度のみで無線基地局を選択するので、必ずしもスループットが高くなるような無線基地局が選択されるとは限らないといいう問題がある。   However, since the wireless terminal described in Patent Document 1 selects a wireless base station based only on the degree of congestion, there is a problem that a wireless base station that necessarily increases the throughput is not always selected.

たとえば、無線基地局#1と無線端末Aと無線端末Bとが接続しており、無線端末Aが全無線リソースの10%を使用し、無線端末Bが全無線リソースの90%を使用している場合は、無線端末Aで必要な無線リソースを差し引いた残りの無線リソースを無線端末Bは利用していると考えられる。このような場合には、新規に接続する無線端末は、少なくとも無線端末Bが使用している90%の無線リソースの半分の無線リソース(したがって、全無線リソースの45%)が割り当てられると予測できる。   For example, wireless base station # 1, wireless terminal A, and wireless terminal B are connected, wireless terminal A uses 10% of all wireless resources, and wireless terminal B uses 90% of all wireless resources. If the wireless terminal B has the wireless resource required by the wireless terminal A, the wireless terminal B is considered to be using the remaining wireless resource. In such a case, a newly connected wireless terminal can be predicted to be assigned at least half of the 90% wireless resources used by wireless terminal B (and thus 45% of all wireless resources). .

一方、無線基地局#2が無線端末Cと無線端末Dと接続しており、無線端末CおよびDが、それぞれ全無線リソースの50%を使用している場合には、無線端末Cおよび無線端末Dの無線リソースの使用要求度は、同程度であると考えられる。このような場合には、新規に接続する無線端末と、無線端末Cおよび無線端末Dには均等に無線リソース量が分割され、それぞれの無線端末は、全無線リソースの1/3が割り当てられると予測できる。   On the other hand, when the wireless base station # 2 is connected to the wireless terminal C and the wireless terminal D, and the wireless terminals C and D use 50% of the total wireless resources, the wireless terminal C and the wireless terminal It is considered that the usage request level of the radio resource of D is approximately the same. In such a case, the radio resource amount is equally divided between the newly connected radio terminal, radio terminal C, and radio terminal D, and each radio terminal is assigned 1/3 of the total radio resources. Predictable.

したがって、新規に通信を開始する無線端末は、無線基地局#1と接続する方が、高い送信スループットで通信することができるが、特許文献1では、混雑度のみを指標としているので、無線基地局#1を選択できるとは限らない。   Therefore, a wireless terminal that newly starts communication can communicate with a higher transmission throughput when connected to the wireless base station # 1, but in Patent Document 1, only the degree of congestion is used as an index. Station # 1 cannot always be selected.

それゆえに、本発明の目的は、送信スループットが最大となるような無線基地局を選択することができる無線端末、無線基地局選択方法、および無線基地局選択プログラムを提供することである。   Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a radio terminal, a radio base station selection method, and a radio base station selection program that can select a radio base station that maximizes transmission throughput.

上記課題を解決するために、本発明は、無線通信を実行するために無線端末と接続可能な複数の無線基地局を特定する候補基地局特定部と、無線端末と接続可能な各無線基地局について、自端末への平衡状態での無線リソースの割当て量を予測するリソース割当量予測部と、接続可能な各無線基地局について、予測した無線リソースの割当て量に基づいて、自端末の平衡状態での送信スループットを予測するスループット予測部と、接続可能な複数の無線基地局のうち、予測した送信スループットが最大となる無線基地局を、無線通信を実行するために接続する無線基地局として選択する選択部とを備える。   In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a candidate base station specifying unit that specifies a plurality of radio base stations that can be connected to a radio terminal in order to execute radio communication, and each radio base station that can be connected to the radio terminal. A resource allocation amount predicting unit that predicts an allocation amount of radio resources in an equilibrium state to the terminal, and an equilibrium state of the terminal based on the predicted allocation of radio resources for each connectable radio base station Select the wireless base station that has the highest predicted transmission throughput among the connectable wireless base stations as the wireless base station to be connected to execute wireless communication A selection unit.

好ましくは、リソース割当量予測部は、K個の無線端末の優先度のうち、平衡状態の優先度以上となる優先度を有する無線端末が存在する場合に、優先度が平衡状態の優先度以上となる無線端末に割り当てられている無線リソース量の和を計算し、無線基地局の全無線リソース量を和で減算した値を残余無線リソース量とし、K個の無線端末の優先度のうち、平衡状態の優先度未満となる優先度を有する無線端末がが存在しない場合に、残余無線リソース量を自端末の無線リソースの割当て量として予測する。   Preferably, the resource allocation amount prediction unit has a priority equal to or higher than the priority in the equilibrium state when there is a wireless terminal having a priority equal to or higher than the priority in the equilibrium state among the priorities of the K wireless terminals. A sum of the radio resource amounts allocated to the radio terminals, and a value obtained by subtracting the total radio resource amount of the radio base station by the sum is set as the residual radio resource amount, and among the priorities of the K radio terminals, When there is no wireless terminal having a priority that is less than the priority in the equilibrium state, the remaining wireless resource amount is predicted as the wireless resource allocation amount of the own terminal.

好ましくは、リソース割当量予測部は、K個の無線端末の優先度のうち、平衡状態の優先度未満となる優先度を有する無線端末がM個ある場合に、無線基地局の残余無線リソース量をM個の無線端末と自端末との(M+1)個の無線端末で共有したときの平衡状態の優先度を計算し、M個の無線端末の優先度のうち、平衡状態の優先度以上となる優先度を有する無線端末が存在しない場合に、無線基地局の残余無線リソース量を(M+1)で除算した値を自端末の無線リソースの割当て量として予測する。   Preferably, the resource allocation amount prediction unit may determine the remaining radio resource amount of the radio base station when there are M radio terminals having a priority less than the priority in the equilibrium state among the priorities of the K radio terminals. Is calculated by the (M + 1) wireless terminals of the M wireless terminals and the own terminal, and the priority of the equilibrium state is calculated, and among the priorities of the M wireless terminals, When there is no radio terminal having a certain priority, a value obtained by dividing the remaining radio resource amount of the radio base station by (M + 1) is predicted as the radio resource allocation amount of the own terminal.

好ましくは、リソース割当量予測部は、M個の無線端末の優先度のうち、平衡状態の優先度以上となる優先度を有する無線端末が存在する場合に、優先度が平衡状態の優先度以上となる無線端末に割り当てられている無線リソース量の和を計算し、無線基地局の残余無線リソース量を和で減算した値を新たな残余無線リソース量とし、M個の無線端末の優先度のうち、平衡状態の優先度未満となる優先度を有する無線端末が存在しない場合に、新たな残余無線リソース量を自端末の無線リソースの割当て量として予測する。   Preferably, the resource allocation amount prediction unit has a priority equal to or higher than the priority in the equilibrium state when there is a wireless terminal having a priority that is equal to or higher than the priority in the equilibrium state among the priorities of the M wireless terminals. The sum of the radio resource amounts allocated to the radio terminals becomes a new residual radio resource amount obtained by subtracting the residual radio resource amount of the radio base station by the sum, and the priority of the M radio terminals is calculated. Among these, when there is no wireless terminal having a priority that is lower than the priority in the equilibrium state, a new residual wireless resource amount is predicted as a wireless resource allocation amount of the own terminal.

好ましくは、スループット予測部は、接続可能な各無線基地局からの信号の受信電力に基づいて、各無線基地局に接続したときの送信信号のMCSを予測し、予測したMCSで定まる伝送速度と、予測した無線リソースの割当て量に基づいて、自端末の平衡状態での送信スループットを予測する。   Preferably, the throughput prediction unit predicts the MCS of the transmission signal when connected to each radio base station based on the reception power of the signal from each connectable radio base station, and the transmission rate determined by the predicted MCS Based on the predicted allocation amount of the radio resource, the transmission throughput in the equilibrium state of the own terminal is predicted.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
(Constitution)
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a wireless terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

この無線端末1は、アンテナ2と、無線通信部3と、受信電力計測部4と、通信制御部5とを備える。通信制御部5は、候補基地局特定部6と、リソース情報取得部7と、リソース割当量予測部8と、送信スループット予測部9と、基地局選択部10とを含む。無線端末1は、コンピュータで構成され、無線端末1内の各構成要素は、コンピュータのCPUがプログラムを実行することによって実現される。当該プログラムは、コンピュータのハードディスク、あるいは外部の記録媒体(DVD(Digital Versatile Disc)、CD−ROM(Compact Disc Read Only Memory)など)に記録されており、実行時にコンピュータのメモリにロードされる。   The wireless terminal 1 includes an antenna 2, a wireless communication unit 3, a received power measurement unit 4, and a communication control unit 5. The communication control unit 5 includes a candidate base station identification unit 6, a resource information acquisition unit 7, a resource allocation amount prediction unit 8, a transmission throughput prediction unit 9, and a base station selection unit 10. The wireless terminal 1 is configured by a computer, and each component in the wireless terminal 1 is realized by the CPU of the computer executing a program. The program is recorded on a computer hard disk or an external recording medium (DVD (Digital Versatile Disc), CD-ROM (Compact Disc Read Only Memory), etc.), and is loaded into the computer memory at the time of execution.

無線端末1は、様々な通信方式に対応し、たとえば、LTE(Long Term Evolution)方式、CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access)方式、WiMAX(Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access)、WiFi方式(wireless fidelity)などの通信方式の無線基地局との通信が可能である。   The wireless terminal 1 corresponds to various communication methods, for example, LTE (Long Term Evolution) method, CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) method, WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access), WiFi method (wireless fidelity) communication, etc. Communication with a wireless base station of the system is possible.

無線通信部3は、無線基地局でプロポーショナルフェアネスに基づいて割り当てられた無線リソースを用いて、無線基地局へ信号を送信する。また、無線通信部3は、無線基地局から指示されるMCS(Modulation and Coding Scheme)にしたがって、送信信号を符号化および変調する。   The radio communication unit 3 transmits a signal to the radio base station using radio resources allocated based on proportional fairness in the radio base station. In addition, the wireless communication unit 3 encodes and modulates a transmission signal according to MCS (Modulation and Coding Scheme) instructed from the wireless base station.

受信電力計測部4は、無線基地局からの信号の受信電力を計測する。
候補基地局特定部6は、受信電力が所定値以上である信号を送信している複数の無線基地局を候補基地局として特定する。
The received power measuring unit 4 measures the received power of the signal from the radio base station.
Candidate base station specifying unit 6 specifies a plurality of radio base stations transmitting signals having received power equal to or higher than a predetermined value as candidate base stations.

リソース情報取得部7は、候補基地局の全無線リソース量V、候補基地局と通信している無線端末を特定する情報(以下の優先度の計算に必要な情報を含む)を取得する。   The resource information acquisition unit 7 acquires the total radio resource amount V of the candidate base station and information (including information necessary for calculation of priority below) that identifies the radio terminal communicating with the candidate base station.

リソース割当量予測部8は、無線基地局での無線リソースの割当方式であるプロポーショナルフェアネスに基づいて、自端末への平衡状態での無線リソースの割当て量を予測する。   The resource allocation amount prediction unit 8 predicts the allocation amount of radio resources in an equilibrium state to the terminal based on proportional fairness which is a radio resource allocation method in the radio base station.

プロポーショナルフェアネスによる無線リソースの配分では、通信品質が高く、かつ過去の平均通信速度が低い無線端末ほど高い優先度が与えられ、多くの無線リソースが割り当てられる。   In the distribution of radio resources by proportional fairness, a radio terminal having higher communication quality and lower past average communication speed is given higher priority, and more radio resources are allocated.

具体的には、時刻tにおける無線端末iの瞬時的なスループットの推定値をR(i)、時刻tにおける無線端末iの過去の平均スループットをT(i)とすると、時刻tにおける優先度P(i)は、以下の式で表わされる。   Specifically, if the estimated value of the instantaneous throughput of the wireless terminal i at time t is R (i) and the past average throughput of the wireless terminal i at time t is T (i), the priority P at time t (I) is represented by the following equation.

P(i)=R(i)/T(i)・・・(1)
ここで、R(i)は、変調方式によって決まる量である。
P (i) = R (i) / T (i) (1)
Here, R (i) is an amount determined by the modulation method.

優先度P(i)が高いと、より多くの無線リソースが割当てられる。その結果、平均スループットT(i)が増加し、それによって、優先度P(i)が減少する。一方、優先度P(i)が低いと、より少ない無線リソースが割当てられる。その結果、平均スループットT(i)が減少し、それによって、優先度P(i)が増加する。 したがって、無線リソースが割り当てられて所定時間経過した平衡状態では、1つの無線基地局と通信しているすべての無線端末の優先度が等しくなる。   When the priority P (i) is high, more radio resources are allocated. As a result, the average throughput T (i) increases and thereby the priority P (i) decreases. On the other hand, when the priority P (i) is low, fewer radio resources are allocated. As a result, the average throughput T (i) decreases, thereby increasing the priority P (i). Accordingly, in an equilibrium state in which a predetermined time has elapsed since radio resources are allocated, all radio terminals communicating with one radio base station have the same priority.

自端末が、基地局に新たに接続した場合の無線リソース量を予測するために、無線リソース量を平等に共有するときの優先度は以下の式によって計算される。   In order to predict the radio resource amount when the own terminal newly connects to the base station, the priority when the radio resource amount is shared equally is calculated by the following equation.

Ps=R(i)/TT(i)・・・(2)
TT(i)は、無線基地局に接続されているすべての無線端末が均等に無線リソースを使用した場合の、無線端末iの過去の平均スループットである。
Ps = R (i) / TT (i) (2)
TT (i) is the past average throughput of the wireless terminal i when all wireless terminals connected to the wireless base station use the wireless resource equally.

リソース割当量予測部8は、無線基地局と接続している無線端末の総数がK個のときには、リソース割当量予測部8は、式(1)に従って、無線基地局と接続しているK個の無線端末の優先度を計算する。また、リソース割当量予測部8は、無線基地局の全無線リソース量を接続している無線端末と自端末の(K+1)個の無線端末で共有したときの平衡状態の優先度Psを式(2)に従って計算する。リソース割当量予測部8は、K個の無線端末の優先度のうち、平衡状態の優先度Ps以上となる優先度を有する無線端末が存在しない場合に、無線基地局の全無線リソース量を(K+1)で除算した値を自端末の無線リソースの割当て量として予測する。   When the total number of wireless terminals connected to the radio base station is K, the resource allocation amount prediction unit 8 determines that the resource allocation amount prediction unit 8 is connected to the radio base station according to Equation (1). The priority of the wireless terminal is calculated. Also, the resource allocation amount prediction unit 8 expresses the priority Ps in the equilibrium state when the wireless terminal connected to all the wireless resource amounts of the wireless base station and the (K + 1) wireless terminals of the own terminal are shared ( Calculate according to 2). The resource allocation amount prediction unit 8 determines the total radio resource amount of the radio base station when there is no radio terminal having a priority that is equal to or higher than the priority Ps in the equilibrium state among the priorities of the K radio terminals ( The value divided by K + 1) is predicted as the radio resource allocation amount of the terminal itself.

リソース割当量予測部8は、K個の無線端末の優先度のうち、平衡状態の優先度Ps以上となる優先度を有する無線端末が存在する場合に、優先度が平衡状態の優先度Ps以上となる1以上の無線端末に割り当てられている無線リソース量の和Sを計算し、無線基地局の全無線リソース量を上記和Sで減算した値(残余無線リソース量)を割当可能無線リソース量として算出する。リソース割当量予測部8は、K個の無線端末の優先度のうち、平衡状態の優先度Ps未満となる優先度を有する無線端末が存在しない場合に、割当可能無線リソース量(残余無線リソース量)を自端末の無線リソースの割当て量として予測する。   When there is a wireless terminal having a priority that is equal to or higher than the priority Ps in the balanced state among the priorities of the K wireless terminals, the resource allocation prediction unit 8 has a priority equal to or higher than the priority Ps in the balanced state. A sum S of radio resource amounts allocated to one or more radio terminals is calculated, and a value (residual radio resource amount) obtained by subtracting the total radio resource amount of the radio base station by the above sum S (residual radio resource amount) can be allocated. Calculate as When there is no wireless terminal having a priority that is less than the priority Ps in the balanced state among the priorities of the K wireless terminals, the resource allocation amount prediction unit 8 is configured to allocate an allocatable radio resource amount (residual radio resource amount). ) As a radio resource allocation amount of the terminal itself.

リソース割当量予測部8は、K個の無線端末の優先度のうち、平衡状態の優先度Ps未満となる優先度を有する無線端末がM個ある場合に、割当可能無線リソース量をM個の無線端末と自端末との(M+1)個の無線端末で共有したときの平衡状態の優先度Psを式(2)に従って計算する。リソース割当量予測部8は、M個の無線端末の優先度のうち、平衡状態の優先度Ps以上となる優先度を有する無線端末が存在しない場合に、無線基地局の割当可能無線リソース量を(M+1)で除算した値を自端末の無線リソースの割当て量として予測する。   The resource allocation amount predicting unit 8 determines the amount of radio resources that can be allocated when there are M wireless terminals having a priority less than the equilibrium priority Ps among the priorities of the K wireless terminals. The priority Ps of the equilibrium state when (M + 1) wireless terminals of the wireless terminal and the own terminal are shared is calculated according to the equation (2). The resource allocation amount prediction unit 8 determines the radio resource amount that can be allocated to the radio base station when there is no radio terminal having a priority that is equal to or higher than the priority Ps in the equilibrium state among the priorities of the M radio terminals. The value divided by (M + 1) is predicted as the radio resource allocation amount of the terminal itself.

リソース割当量予測部8は、M個の無線端末の優先度のうち、平衡状態の優先度Ps以上となる優先度を有する無線端末が存在する場合に、優先度が平衡状態の優先度Ps以上となる1以上の無線端末に割り当てられている無線リソース量の和Sを計算し、無線基地局の割当可能無線リソース量を上記和Sで減算した値を新たな割当可能無線リソース量(新たな残余無線リソース量)とする。リソース割当量予測部8は、M個の無線端末の優先度のうち、平衡状態の優先度未満となる優先度を有する無線端末が存在しない場合に、新たな割当可能無線リソース量を自端末の無線リソースの割当て量として予測する。   When there is a wireless terminal having a priority that is equal to or higher than the priority Ps in the equilibrium state among the priorities of the M wireless terminals, the resource allocation prediction unit 8 has a priority equal to or higher than the priority Ps in the equilibrium state. A sum S of radio resource amounts allocated to one or more radio terminals is calculated, and a value obtained by subtracting the radio resource amount of the radio base station by the above sum S is calculated as a new allocatable radio resource amount (new Residual radio resource amount). The resource allocation amount prediction unit 8 determines a new allocatable radio resource amount of its own terminal when there is no radio terminal having a priority less than the priority in the equilibrium state among the priorities of the M radio terminals. Predicted as radio resource allocation.

送信スループット予測部9は、無線端末1と接続可能な各無線基地局からの信号の受信電力に基づいて、各無線基地局に接続したときの送信信号のMCSを予測し、予測したMCSで定まる伝送速度と、予測した無線リソースの割当て量に基づいて、自端末の平衡状態での送信スループットを予測する。   The transmission throughput prediction unit 9 predicts the MCS of the transmission signal when connected to each radio base station based on the received power of the signal from each radio base station that can be connected to the radio terminal 1, and is determined by the predicted MCS. Based on the transmission rate and the estimated amount of allocated radio resources, the transmission throughput in the equilibrium state of the terminal itself is predicted.

(Operation)
FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a procedure for selecting a radio base station by the radio terminal.

まず、候補基地局特定部6は、受信電力が所定値以上である信号を送信している複数の無線基地局を特定する。特定した無線基地局を無線基地局#1〜#Nとする(ステップS101)。   First, the candidate base station specifying unit 6 specifies a plurality of radio base stations that are transmitting signals whose reception power is a predetermined value or more. The identified radio base stations are designated as radio base stations # 1 to #N (step S101).

次に、選択変数nが1に設定される(ステップS102)。
無線基地局#nが選択される(ステップS103)。
Next, the selection variable n is set to 1 (step S102).
Radio base station #n is selected (step S103).

リソース情報取得部7は、無線基地局#nの全無線リソース量V、無線基地局#nと通信している無線端末を特定する情報(優先度の計算に必要な情報を含む)を取得する。特定した無線端末を無線端末#1〜#Kとする(ステップS104)。   The resource information acquisition unit 7 acquires the total radio resource amount V of the radio base station #n and information (including information necessary for calculating the priority) specifying the radio terminal communicating with the radio base station #n. . The identified wireless terminals are defined as wireless terminals # 1 to #K (step S104).

次に、リソース割当量予測部8は、自端末が無線基地局#nに接続した場合に、自端末への平衡状態での無線リソースの割当て量を予測する(ステップS106)。   Next, when the own terminal is connected to the radio base station #n, the resource allocation prediction unit 8 predicts the radio resource allocation in an equilibrium state with the own terminal (step S106).

次に、送信スループット予測部9は、自端末が無線基地局#nへ接続した場合の、送信スループットを予測する(ステップS107)。   Next, the transmission throughput prediction unit 9 predicts the transmission throughput when the terminal itself is connected to the radio base station #n (step S107).

n=Nでない場合には(ステップS108でNO)、nが1だけインクリメントされて(ステップS109)、ステップS103に戻る。   If n = N is not satisfied (NO in step S108), n is incremented by 1 (step S109), and the process returns to step S103.

n=Nになった場合には(ステップS108でYES)、基地局選択部10は、予測した送信スループットが最大となるような無線基地局を、無線通信を実行するために接続する無線基地局として選択し、無線通信部3に選択した無線基地局と接続するための通信処理を行なわせる(ステップS110)。   When n = N (YES in step S108), the base station selection unit 10 connects a radio base station that maximizes the predicted transmission throughput to perform radio communication. And the wireless communication unit 3 is caused to perform communication processing for connecting to the selected wireless base station (step S110).

図3は、図2のステップS106の詳細な手順を表わすフローチャートである。
まず、リソース割当量予測部8は、全無線リソース量Vを割当可能リソース量Qに設定すし、検討対象の無線端末#1〜#Uを無線端末#1〜#Kに設定する(ステップS201)。
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the detailed procedure of step S106 in FIG.
First, the resource allocation amount prediction unit 8 sets the total radio resource amount V to the allocatable resource amount Q, and sets the radio terminals # 1 to #U to be studied to the radio terminals # 1 to #K (step S201). .

次に、リソース割当量予測部8は、式(1)に従って、無線基地局#iと通信している無線端末#1〜#Uの優先度P(1)〜P(U)を計算する(ステップS202)。   Next, the resource allocation amount prediction unit 8 calculates priorities P (1) to P (U) of the wireless terminals # 1 to #U communicating with the wireless base station #i according to the equation (1) ( Step S202).

次に、リソース割当量予測部8は、式(2)に従って、割当可能リソース量Qを(U+1)人で平等に共有したときの優先度Psを計算する(ステップS203)。   Next, the resource allocation amount prediction unit 8 calculates the priority Ps when the allocatable resource amount Q is shared equally among (U + 1) people according to the equation (2) (step S203).

リソース割当量予測部8は、P(i)≧Psとなるようなiが存在しない場合には(ステップS204でNO)、Q/(U+1)を自端末への無線リソースの割当て量として予測する(ステップS205)。   If there is no i that satisfies P (i) ≧ Ps (NO in step S204), the resource allocation amount prediction unit 8 predicts Q / (U + 1) as the allocation amount of the radio resource to the terminal itself. (Step S205).

リソース割当量予測部8は、P(i)≧Psとなるようなiが存在する場合には(ステップS204でYES)、P(i)≧Psとなる無線端末#iの無線リソースの割当て量の和Sを計算する(ステップS206)。   When there is i such that P (i) ≧ Ps (YES in step S204), the resource allocation amount prediction unit 8 allocates the radio resource of the wireless terminal #i that satisfies P (i) ≧ Ps. Is calculated S (step S206).

リソース割当量予測部8は、割当可能リソース量QをSだけ減少させる(ステップS207)。   The resource allocation amount prediction unit 8 decreases the allocatable resource amount Q by S (step S207).

次に、リソース割当量予測部8は、P(i)<Psとなるようなiが存在しない場合には(ステップS208でNO)、割当可能リソース量Qを自端末への無線リソース割当て量として予測する(ステップS209)。   Next, when there is no i that satisfies P (i) <Ps (NO in step S208), the resource allocation amount prediction unit 8 sets the allocatable resource amount Q as the radio resource allocation amount to the terminal itself. Prediction is made (step S209).

次に、リソース割当量予測部8は、P(i)<Psとなるようなiが存在する場合には(ステップS208でYES)、P(i)<Psとなる無線端末を検討対象の無線端末#1〜#Uに再設定して(ステップS210)、ステップS203に戻る。   Next, when there is i such that P (i) <Ps exists (YES in step S208), the resource allocation amount prediction unit 8 selects a wireless terminal that satisfies P (i) <Ps as a wireless to be examined. It resets to terminal # 1-#U (step S210), and returns to step S203.

(無線リソースの割当量の予測の例)
次に、本実施の形態による無線リソースの割当量の予測の例を説明する。
(Example of radio resource allocation prediction)
Next, an example of radio resource allocation amount prediction according to the present embodiment will be described.

図4(a)は、ある基地局に接続している無線端末への無線リソースの割当の一例を説明するための図である。図4(b)は、図4(a)の状態から自端末が新たに接続された場合の、無線リソースの割当量の予測を説明するための図である。   FIG. 4A is a diagram for explaining an example of assignment of radio resources to radio terminals connected to a certain base station. FIG. 4B is a diagram for explaining prediction of the radio resource allocation amount when the own terminal is newly connected from the state of FIG.

無線端末#1〜無線端末#4は、動画ストリームを受信するアプリケーションを実行している。平衡状態では、無線端末#1〜無線端末#4の優先度は同じで、できるだけ多くの無線リソースが必要なことから、無線リソースが均等に25%ずつ割り当てられている。   Wireless terminal # 1 to wireless terminal # 4 execute an application that receives a moving image stream. In the equilibrium state, the radio terminals # 1 to # 4 have the same priority and need as many radio resources as possible. Therefore, the radio resources are equally allocated by 25%.

自端末も、同様に動画ストリームを受信するアプリケーションを実行する。新規に接続を開始した当初は、自端末には、無線リソースの多くを割り当てられるが、平衡状態では、無線端末#1〜#4の優先度は同じで、できるだけ多くの無線リソースが必要なことから、無線リソースが均等に20%ずつ割り当てられている。つまり、図4のフローチャートのステップS204において、P(i)≧Psとなる無線端末が存在しないので、NOが選択されて、全無線リソース量Vを5等分した無線リソースが、無線端末#1〜#4と自端末に割り当てられる。   The own terminal also executes an application that receives a moving image stream. At the beginning of a new connection, a lot of radio resources are allocated to the own terminal, but in the equilibrium state, the radio terminals # 1 to # 4 have the same priority and need as many radio resources as possible. Therefore, 20% of radio resources are equally allocated. That is, in step S204 in the flowchart of FIG. 4, since there is no wireless terminal satisfying P (i) ≧ Ps, NO is selected, and the wireless resource obtained by dividing the total wireless resource amount V by 5 is wireless terminal # 1. ~ # 4 and assigned to own terminal.

図5(a)は、ある基地局に接続している無線端末への無線リソースの割当の別の例を説明するための図である。図5(b)は、図5(a)の状態から自端末が新たに接続された場合の、無線リソースの割当量の予測を説明するための図である。   FIG. 5A is a diagram for explaining another example of assignment of radio resources to radio terminals connected to a certain base station. FIG. 5B is a diagram for explaining prediction of the radio resource allocation amount when the own terminal is newly connected from the state of FIG.

無線端末#1〜#3は、VoIP(Voice over Internet Protocol)で音声データを受信するアプリケーションを実行している。無線端末#1〜#3の優先度は、無線端末#4よりも高いが、送信されるデータ量が少ないので、結果として平衡状態の無線リソースの割当量は少ない(それぞれ10%)。無線端末#4は、FTP(File Transfer Protocol)でファイルを受信するアプリケーションを実行している。無線端末#4の優先度は無線端末#1〜#3よりも低いが、使用可能な無線リソースが余っているため、結果として、平衡状態において多量の無線リソース(70%)が割り当てられている。   The wireless terminals # 1 to # 3 execute an application that receives voice data by VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol). The priority of the wireless terminals # 1 to # 3 is higher than that of the wireless terminal # 4, but the amount of data to be transmitted is small, and as a result, the allocation amount of the balanced wireless resources is small (10% each). The wireless terminal # 4 executes an application that receives a file by FTP (File Transfer Protocol). Although the priority of the wireless terminal # 4 is lower than that of the wireless terminals # 1 to # 3, since there are surplus available wireless resources, a large amount of wireless resources (70%) are allocated in an equilibrium state as a result. .

自端末も、無線端末#4と同様に、FTPでファイルを受信するアプリケーションを実行する。新規に接続を開始した当初は、自端末には、多くの無線リソース(無線端末#4に割り当てられている70%のうちの大部分)が、平衡状態では、図5(b)に示すように、無線端末#4と自端末の無線リソースの割当て量は、それぞれ35%ずつとなる。   As with the wireless terminal # 4, the own terminal also executes an application that receives a file by FTP. At the beginning of a new connection, a lot of radio resources (most of 70% allocated to the radio terminal # 4) are present in the own terminal as shown in FIG. In addition, the allocation amounts of radio resources of the radio terminal # 4 and the own terminal are 35% each.

つまり、図4のフローチャートのステップS204において、P(i)≧Psとなる無線端末があり(無線端末#1〜#3)、YESが選択される。また、ステップS208において、P(i)<Psとなる無線端末が存在し(無線端末#4)、YESが選択される。2回目のステップS204において、P(i)≧Psとなる無線端末が存在しないので、NOが選択されて、割当可能リソース量(70%)を2等分した無線リソースが、無線端末#4と自端末に割り当てられる。   That is, in step S204 in the flowchart of FIG. 4, there is a wireless terminal satisfying P (i) ≧ Ps (wireless terminals # 1 to # 3), and YES is selected. In step S208, there is a wireless terminal satisfying P (i) <Ps (wireless terminal # 4), and YES is selected. Since there is no wireless terminal satisfying P (i) ≧ Ps in the second step S204, NO is selected, and the wireless resource obtained by dividing the allocable resource amount (70%) into two equal parts is the wireless terminal # 4. Assigned to own terminal.

以上のように、本実施の形態によれば、無線端末は、無線基地局の無線リソースの割当方式であるプロポーショナルフェアネスに基づいて、候補となるすべての無線基地局に接続した場合の、自端末への無線リソースの割当量を予測する。さらに、無線端末は、この予測量に基づいて、送信スループットを予測することによって、送信スループットが最大となるような無線基地局を選択することができる。   As described above, according to the present embodiment, a wireless terminal is connected to all candidate wireless base stations based on proportional fairness that is a wireless resource allocation method of the wireless base station. Predict the amount of radio resources allocated to Furthermore, the wireless terminal can select a wireless base station that maximizes the transmission throughput by predicting the transmission throughput based on the predicted amount.
