本発明は、送信装置および送信制御方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a transmission device and a transmission control method.

現在、3GPP(Third Generation Partnership Project)にて規格化されたLTE(Long Term Evolution)の通信方式が普及している。LTEには、周波数分割方式(FD−LTE)と時分割方式(TD−LTE)があって、現状では、何れかの方式を採用している通信事業者がほとんどである。ここで、複数の周波数帯を同時に利用するキャリアアグリゲーション(CA:Carrier Aggregation)という技術が規格化された(例えば、特許文献1参照)。このため、理論上では、FD−LTE、TD−LTEのそれぞれの方式が同時に利用できるようになった。   At present, the LTE (Long Term Evolution) communication method standardized by 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project) is in widespread use. LTE has a frequency division method (FD-LTE) and a time division method (TD-LTE), and at present, most of the communication carriers adopt either method. Here, a technique called carrier aggregation (CA) that uses a plurality of frequency bands at the same time has been standardized (for example, see Patent Document 1). For this reason, in theory, the FD-LTE and TD-LTE systems can be used simultaneously.

複数の周波数帯で送信するキャリアアグリゲーションでは、相互変調や2次高調波の回り込みによる不要波が発生するが、本発明の実施の形態では、図8および図9で説明したいずれの制御においても、FD−LTE側の送信制御を行うことにより、不要波を低減できる。また、不要波の削減のみならず、送信時の消費電流低減も期待できるため、送信装置の消費電力の改善に期待できる。   In carrier aggregation transmitted in a plurality of frequency bands, unnecessary waves are generated due to intermodulation and wraparound of second harmonics. In the embodiment of the present invention, in any of the controls described in FIGS. 8 and 9, By performing transmission control on the FD-LTE side, unnecessary waves can be reduced. Moreover, since not only the reduction of unnecessary waves but also the reduction of current consumption during transmission can be expected, it can be expected to improve the power consumption of the transmission apparatus.
