Description

  The present invention relates to a line for controlling line allocation to a terminal station so as to effectively use the frequency band of the node station in a polarization multiplexing wireless communication system in which the terminal station and the terminal station perform polarization multiplexing communication via the node station. The present invention relates to an allocation apparatus and a line allocation method.

  In a wireless communication system such as the satellite communication system shown in FIG. 20 or the cellular communication system shown in FIG. 21, a terminal station uses a line designated by a line assignment device, and a communication satellite station or cellular base station (in this specification, “ The terminal station and the terminal station communicate with each other via a “node station”. In such a wireless communication system, the sum of the bands of all communication lines is limited to the entire band (hereinafter referred to as “system band”) that can be used by the node station.

  Here, when a plurality of terminal stations communicate using the same line, the signals overlap each other and normal communication is not performed. On the other hand, if a line is always fixedly assigned to each terminal station so that the lines do not overlap, a terminal station that is not performing communication also requires a line, and the frequency band is wasted. Therefore, in the wireless communication system, in order to effectively use the system band, a line is allocated only at the time of communication with the terminal station, and the line is opened at the end of communication. At this time, at the time of line allocation, it is necessary to search for a vacant bandwidth that is greater than the bandwidth required by the terminal station (hereinafter referred to as “required bandwidth”) from the system bandwidth. As a conventional method for searching for this free band, there is a method of searching for a free band having a width equal to or greater than the required band in order from the lower limit frequency of the system band. A specific example of such a conventional method is described in Non-Patent Document 1.

In the present invention, three types of terminal stations with different available polarizations are assumed as follows.
V polarization station: Uses V polarization H polarization station: Uses H polarization Both polarization stations: Uses the same band of V polarization and H polarization

  Here, the V polarization station, the H polarization station, and both polarization stations are terminal stations equipped with antennas for V polarization, H polarization, and both V and H polarization, respectively. Since both polarization stations are premised on using a transmission method such as VPFDM transmission (Non-Patent Document 2) and multi-polarization spatial multiplexing transmission (Non-Patent Document 3), both polarizations use the same band. In this specification, the polarization type is described as vertical polarization (V polarization and H polarization), but may be circular polarization (right-handed polarization and left-handed polarization).

  A plurality of terminal stations asynchronously repeat allocation and release of lines having different polarizations and different bandwidths. Therefore, vacant bands with different bandwidths are scattered on the frequency axis of the system band. In addition, the scattered state of vacant bands varies depending on the polarization. Here, FIGS. 11 to 16 show examples of line allocation according to the conventional method, assuming that the state where the allocated line exists or the state where the allocated line does not exist is the initial state. A line allocation example according to the method of the present invention is also shown on the right side in the figure, which will be described later.

  “0” indicates the assigned line in the initial state, and the numbers “1” or more indicate the order in which the line is assigned. “W” indicates both polarization free bands in which V polarization and H polarization are simultaneously empty, and “S” indicates a single polarization empty band in which either H polarization or V polarization is empty. . Here, only H polarization is shown for simplicity.

  11 and 12 show an example in which a line of an H polarization station is newly assigned to an initial state where a line of V polarization is assigned. In the conventional method, a new line is assigned so as to be closest to the lower limit frequency point from the free bands W and S in the H polarization. As a result, both polarization free bands W decreased with respect to the initial state.

  FIG. 13 shows an example in which a line of an H polarization station is newly assigned to the initial state where an H polarization line is assigned. In the conventional method, a new line is allocated so as to be closest to the lower limit frequency point from the two free polarization bands W divided by the allocated band of H polarization. As a result, one polarization free band W decreased with respect to the initial state, and the continuous free band narrowed.

  FIG. 14 shows an example in which lines for both polarization stations are newly assigned to the initial state where a line for V polarization is assigned. In the conventional method, a new line is allocated so as to be closest to the lower limit frequency point from both polarization free bands W divided by the allocated band of V polarization. As a result, one polarization free band W decreased with respect to the initial state, and the continuous free band narrowed.

  FIGS. 15 and 16 show the allocation of lines of H-polarization station, V-polarization station, and both polarization stations of various bandwidths at time 1 with respect to the initial state where no line is allocated to both polarizations. Then, an example in which several lines are opened at time 2 after that will be described.

  In the conventional method shown in FIG. 15, at time 1, the line 1 of the V polarization station, the line 2 of both polarization stations, and the line 3 of the H polarization station are allocated in order from the closest to the lower limit frequency point. Here, the line 3 of the H-polarization station has a wider bandwidth than the line 1 of the V-polarization station, and therefore cannot be assigned to the free band of H-polarization on the opposite side of the line 1 of the V-polarization station. Allocated adjacent to line 2 of the polarization station. When the line 2 of both polarization stations is opened at time 2, the free band W for both polarizations increases at time 1 (during line allocation), but does not become a continuous free band.

  In the conventional method shown in FIG. 16, at time 1, in order from the closest to the lower limit frequency point, line 1 of the H polarization station, line 2 of the V polarization station, line 3 of both polarization stations, V polarization The station line 4, the two polarization station lines 5, the H polarization station line 6, the H polarization station line 7, and the both polarization station lines 8 are allocated. At this time, the two polarization vacant bands W are not secured, and the one polarization vacant band S is divided into two and remains. At time 2, if the line 1 of the H polarization station, the line 6 of the H polarization station, and the lines 5 and 8 of both polarization stations are opened, both free polarization bands W for time 1 (during line allocation) However, although the unipolarization free band S increases, it is easily divided and does not become a continuous free band.

  As described above, according to the conventional method, a free band in which frequency components are continuous is easily reduced or divided by line allocation and line release, and a narrow free band is frequently generated on the system band. As a result, there is a problem that the probability of failure in allocation of a line having a wide required bandwidth, particularly, a line of both polarization stations increases.

(Single polarization line allocation)
FIG. 1 shows a single-polarization line assignment procedure 1 according to the line assignment method of the present invention.
In FIG. 1, a request speed included in a line request is first identified (S1), and a required bandwidth that satisfies the request speed is determined (S2). Next, in the order of free bandwidth search methods A, B, and C, free bandwidths satisfying the required bandwidth are searched (S3, S4, S5), the free bandwidth allocated to the new line is determined, and the allocated line is arranged. (S6).

  In the free bandwidth search method A, a free bandwidth having a width equal to or larger than the required bandwidth and closest to the required bandwidth is searched from among the free bandwidth of the polarization used by the terminal station. Free band search method B searches for an allocated band of the polarization opposite to the polarization used by the terminal station (hereinafter referred to as “back polarization”) and the free band of the polarization used by the terminal station. To do. The free band search method C searches for a free band closest to a predetermined frequency (for example, closest to the lower limit frequency of the system band).

  FIG. 2 shows a line assignment example 1 according to the single polarization line assignment procedure 1. Here, an example is shown in which the line of the H polarization station is assigned to the initial state where the lines of the V polarization and the H polarization are assigned.

  First, in the free bandwidth search method A, free bandwidths 1, 2 and 3 having a width equal to or larger than the required bandwidth and closest to the required bandwidth are searched from the free bandwidths of the H polarization. The vacant bands 1, 2, and 3 have the same bandwidth. Next, in the free bandwidth search method B, the free bandwidths 1 and 3 having the assigned bandwidth in the V polarization that overlaps the bandwidth are selected from the free bandwidths 1, 2, and 3. Next, since there are a plurality of vacant bands, the vacant band 1 closest to the predetermined frequency (for example, closest to the lower limit frequency of the system band) is selected by the vacant band search method C and assigned to a new line.

  FIG. 3 shows a line assignment example 2 according to the single polarization line assignment procedure 1. Here, an example is shown in which the line of the H polarization station is assigned to the initial state where the lines of the V polarization and the H polarization are assigned.

  First, in the free bandwidth search method A, free bandwidths 1, 2 and 3 having a width equal to or larger than the required bandwidth and closest to the required bandwidth are searched from the free bandwidths of the H polarization. The vacant bands 1, 2, and 3 have the same bandwidth. Here, the priority is set according to whether or not the allocated bandwidth of the V-polarized wave with overlapping bands is equal to or greater than the required bandwidth. That is, the vacant bands 1 and 2 in which the allocated bandwidth of the V polarization is equal to or greater than the required bandwidth are set to a relatively high priority, and the vacant band 3 in which the allocated bandwidth of the V polarization is less than the required bandwidth is relative. Therefore, the priority is set in a relationship of 1 = 2> 3 with the number of the free band. Next, in the free bandwidth search method B, the free bandwidths 1 and 2 with high priority are selected from the free bandwidths 1, 2, and 3. Next, since there are a plurality of vacant bands, the H polarization that overlaps the allocated band of the V polarization from the vacant band 1 that is closest to the predetermined frequency (for example, closest to the lower limit frequency of the system band) by the vacant band search method C. A free bandwidth of the required bandwidth is selected, assigned to a new line, and the process ends.

  When there is no allocated band for V polarization, the priorities of the free bands searched by the free band search method A are the same. That is, an empty band having a width equal to or larger than the required bandwidth and closest to the required bandwidth is searched from the free bandwidth of the H polarization, and one free band is selected by the free bandwidth search method C.

FIG. 4 shows a single polarization line assignment procedure 2 according to the line assignment method of the present invention.
In FIG. 4, first, the required speed included in the line request is specified (S1), and the required bandwidth that satisfies the required speed is determined (S2). Next, in step 2, in order of free bandwidth search methods B, A, and C, free bandwidth satisfying the required bandwidth is searched (S4, S3, S5), free bandwidth to be allocated to the new line is determined, and the allocation is performed. A line is arranged (S6). The free bandwidth search methods A, B, and C are the same as those in the line allocation procedure 1.

  FIG. 5 shows a line assignment example 1 according to the single polarization line assignment procedure 2. Here, an example in which an H polarization line is assigned to an initial state where a V polarization line is assigned is shown.

  First, in the free band search method B, the allocated bands of the V polarization, which is the back polarization, and the free bands 1, 2 and 3 of the H polarization are searched. Next, in the free bandwidth search method A, the free bandwidths 1 and 3 having a width equal to or larger than the required bandwidth and closest to the required bandwidth are selected from the free bandwidths 1, 2 and 3 searched by the free bandwidth search method B. At this time, the free bandwidth 2 less than the required bandwidth is excluded. It is assumed that the empty bandwidths 1 and 3 have the same bandwidth. Here, since there are a plurality of vacant bands, the vacant band 1 closest to the predetermined frequency (for example, closest to the lower limit frequency of the system band) is selected by the vacant band search method C and assigned to the new line.

  FIG. 6 shows a line assignment example 2 according to the single-polarization line assignment procedure 2. Here, an example in which an H polarization line is assigned to an initial state where a V polarization line is assigned is shown.

  First, in the free band search method B, the allocated bands of the V polarization, which is the back polarization, and the free bands 1, 2 and 3 of the H polarization are searched. Next, in the free bandwidth search method A, the free bandwidth 2 less than the required bandwidth is removed from the free bandwidths 1, 2 and 3 searched by the free bandwidth search method B, and the free bandwidth 1 and 3 greater than the required bandwidth is removed. The free bandwidth 3 having the width closest to the required bandwidth is selected. Here, since there is one free band, the free band search method C is passed, and the free band is assigned to a new line, and the process is terminated.

  By performing the unipolar line allocation described above, as shown in FIG. 13, when there is no allocated band for the back polarization, the required bandwidth is greater than the required bandwidth by the free band search method B. By searching for the free bandwidth having the closest width to the wide bandwidth, it is possible to leave a wide free bandwidth. That is, the bandwidth of the continuous both polarization free bands W can be expanded as compared with the conventional method.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, a band that overlaps the allocated band of the back polarization can be preferentially allocated as an empty band to be allocated to one polarization, and a band in which both polarizations are simultaneously empty can be allocated. Can be increased. That is, even though the total bandwidth of the unipolarization free band S and the dual polarization free band W is the same as that of the conventional method, the bandwidth of the dual polarization free band W can be expanded as compared with the conventional method.

(Line assignment for both polarizations)
FIG. 7 shows a line assignment procedure for both polarizations according to the line assignment method of the present invention.
In FIG. 7, first, the requested speed included in the line request is specified (S1), and the required bandwidth that satisfies the requested speed is determined (S2). Next, an empty band satisfying the required bandwidth is searched in the order of the empty band searching methods A and C (S4, S5), an empty band to be allocated to the new line is determined, and the allocated line is arranged (S6). The free band search methods A and C correspond to the above-described free polarization search methods A and C of single polarization, and the single polarization is replaced with both polarizations.

  FIG. 8 shows an example of line assignment by the line assignment procedure for both polarizations. Here, an example is shown in which the lines of both polarization stations are assigned to the initial state where the line of V polarization is assigned.

  First, in the free bandwidth search method A, the free bandwidths 1 and 2 of both polarizations having a width equal to or larger than the required bandwidth and closest to the required bandwidth are searched. The empty bands 1 and 2 have equal bandwidths. Next, since there are a plurality of free bands, the free band of the required bandwidth is selected from the free band 1 closest to the predetermined frequency (for example, closest to the lower limit frequency of the system band) by the free band search method C, Assign and exit.

  As shown in FIG. 14, by performing the line allocation for both polarizations as described above, as the free bandwidth to be assigned to both polarizations, a bandwidth that is equal to or larger than the required bandwidth by the free bandwidth search method A and is closest to the required bandwidth. Free bandwidth can be allocated, and a wide free bandwidth can be left. That is, the bandwidth of the continuous both polarization free bands W can be expanded as compared with the conventional method.

(Single-polarization and dual-polarization line assignment)
FIG. 9 shows a unipolar and bi-polarized line assignment procedure according to the line assignment method of the present invention.
In FIG. 9, first, the required speed included in the line request is specified (S1), and the required bandwidth that satisfies the required speed is determined (S2). Next, the free bandwidth allocated to the new line is determined by the free bandwidth search method C (S5), and the assigned line is arranged (S6). The free band search method C searches the free band closest to the predetermined frequency 1 (for example, closest to the lower limit frequency of the system band) for single polarization, and is closest to the predetermined frequency 2 for both polarizations. A free band (for example, closest to the upper limit frequency of the system band) is searched. This is common to the conventional method for unipolar waves, but differs in that vacant bands for unipolar waves and both polarized waves are allocated from different directions.

  FIG. 10 shows an example of line assignment according to a line assignment procedure for single polarization and both polarizations. Here, an example is shown in which the lines of the single-polarization station and the both-polarization stations are assigned to the initial state in which the V-polarization and H-polarization lines are not assigned.

  First, the H-polarized line 1 having the required bandwidth 1 searches for and allocates an H-polarized free band closest to the predetermined frequency 1 (for example, closest to the lower limit frequency of the system band). Next, the V-polarized line 2 having the required bandwidth 2 searches for and allocates a V-polarized vacant band closest to the predetermined frequency 1 (for example, closest to the lower limit frequency of the system band). Next, the both-polarized line 3 having the required bandwidth 3 searches for and allocates a free band of both polarizations closest to the predetermined frequency 2 (for example, closest to the upper limit frequency of the system band). In the same manner, new lines are sequentially assigned to free bands adjacent to the assigned band. If there is an allocated bandwidth, the allocation is performed avoiding it.

  By allocating the single polarization and both polarization lines as described above, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, at the time of line assignment, the line of the V polarization station, the line of the H polarization station, both polarizations Station lines are adjacent to each other, and free bandwidth is not distributed unlike the conventional method, and continuous free bandwidth can be expanded. In addition, when a line is opened, the probability that a free band occurs adjacently increases, and in particular, the bandwidth of both continuous polarization free bands W can be increased as compared with the conventional method.

FIG. 17 shows a process procedure of line assignment (flow from line request to line assignment) according to the present invention.
(1) At the start of communication, the terminal station transmits a line request signal to the line allocation device.
(2) The line allocating apparatus, after allocating a line using the line allocating method of the present invention, transmits the line information to the terminal station and the counterpart terminal station.
(3) The terminal station communicates using the assigned line.
(4) At the end of communication, the terminal station sends a line open signal to the line allocation device.
The line request, line information, and line open signal are transmitted using a separately reserved control line.

FIG. 18 shows a configuration example of the line assignment apparatus of the present invention.
In FIG. 18, the line allocating apparatus is composed of a control line transmitting / receiving unit 1, an access control unit 2, a line allocation processing unit 3, a line management DB (database) 4, and a terminal management DB 5.
As shown in FIG. 19 (1), the line management DB 4 manages whether the system bandwidth is used as “free” or “used” for each slot number. As shown in FIG. 19 (2), the terminal management DB 5 manages (1) communication method, (2) used polarization, and (3) assigned slot number as information for each terminal station. Since (1) and (2) are information specific to the terminal station that can be known in advance, it is created in a database in association with the terminal station ID information. (3) is determined using the line allocation method of the present invention.

When the control line transmission / reception unit 1 receives the line request signal, the access control unit 2 extracts the terminal station ID and the requested speed, and uses the terminal station ID to extract the communication method and the used polarization from the line management DB 4. The requested speed and communication method are notified to the line allocation processing unit 3. The line allocation processing unit 3 determines the required bandwidth Wreq from the requested speed using the following equation.
Wreq = Rreq / ηWslt

  Here, Wslt is the bandwidth of one slot, Rreq is the required speed, and η is the spectrum utilization efficiency (bit rate that can be transmitted per frequency) that is uniquely determined for the communication system.

  Further, the line allocation processing unit 3 determines the allocation slot number by referring to the empty slot number in the line management DB 4 using the line allocation method of the present invention, and returns the allocation slot number to the terminal station having the terminal station ID. At the same time, the assigned slot number is stored in the terminal management DB 5, and the content of the line management DB 4 is changed from “free” to “used” for the assigned slot number.

  On the other hand, when the communication is completed, the terminal station assigns the terminal station ID to the line open signal using the control line and transmits it to the line allocation device. When the control line transmission / reception unit 1 receives the line release signal, the line allocation device retrieves the terminal station ID from the access control unit 2 and deletes the allocation slot number stored in the terminal management DB 5. The content of the line management DB 4 is changed from “used” to “empty”.
