Description

  The present invention relates to a communication system that performs communication using retransmission and encryption, and more particularly, to a communication system that effectively uses encryption.

  For example, in a system in which a plurality of stations share the same frequency and perform communication using a method such as CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access), transmission indicating the address of the receiving station indicating the receiving destination and the transmission source of the radio wave A station address is added to the beginning of a transmission frame for transmission. The receiving station detects that it is addressed to itself by its address and receives the subsequent data.

  Further, in the ARQ (Automatic Repeat Request) system, the reception station detects the status of reception error and returns the result as a retransmission request signal. In this case, it is necessary to add the addresses of the transmitting station and the receiving station to indicate to which transmitting station the retransmission request signal is transmitted. The transmitting station determines that it is a request for transmission from its own station based on the address added to the retransmission request signal, and selects and retransmits data that needs to be retransmitted according to the request.

Here, although various various systems are known as the ARQ system, a case where the selective ARQ system is used will be described below as an example.
In the selective ARQ method, the transmission side divides transmission data of one frame into a plurality of blocks, performs encoding that enables error detection in units of the divided blocks, and transmits them, and the reception side detects errors for each block. Based on the result, a retransmission request signal is created in the form of necessity of retransmission for each block and transmitted (returned) to the transmitting station. The transmission side selects a block requested for retransmission according to the designation by the retransmission request signal, and transmits (retransmits) it as retransmission data.

For example, in wireless communication, encryption is often used in order to prevent the communication content from being known to a third party. When encryption is applied to the communication system as described above, it is desirable to encrypt not only data but also address information.
However, it is not a preferable method for encryption that the address information part is decrypted once and then re-encrypted and transmitted for a retransmission request signal. For example, since re-encryption of the same signal is considered to increase the risk of being decrypted by a third party, it is desirable not to break the encryption in the middle of signal transmission.

FIGS. 7A and 7B show an example of a data transmission sequence for one frame when the selective ARQ scheme is applied, and FIG. 7A shows a state of transmission from the transmitting station. FIG. 7B shows a state of transmission from the receiving station.
In this example, the case where the error becomes 0 (that is, the error is eliminated) by two retransmissions from the transmitting station is shown.

Specifically, one frame of data (data frame) is transmitted from the transmitting station, and a retransmission request signal (REQ1) indicating an error status of the received data is returned from the receiving station. Thus, retransmission data (retransmission 1) is transmitted from the transmitting station.
If errors still remain in this retransmission data, a retransmission request signal (REQ2) for the retransmission data is returned from the receiving station, and retransmission data (retransmission 2) is transmitted from the transmitting station based on this retransmission request. The
As a result, when the error becomes 0, a retransmission request signal (ER0) indicating no error is returned from the receiving station, whereby the transmission of one frame is completed and the transmission of the next data frame is started.

FIG. 8A shows an example of a data frame format used in the ARQ sequence as described above, and FIG. 8B shows a retransmission used in the ARQ sequence as described above. An example of the frame format of the request signal is shown.
The data frame is arranged in the order of the address (AD1) of the receiving station, the address (AD2) of the transmitting station, and the data, thereby forming a frame.
The retransmission request signals are arranged in the order of the address of the transmitting station (AD2), the address of the receiving station (AD1), and the data indicating the error status, thereby forming a frame.
The format of the retransmission data is the same as that of the data frame except that the data length is different.

When encryption is applied to the communication method as described above, for example, the address part is transmitted without being encrypted, or the address part is encrypted and transmitted, and once received, the encryption is decrypted. The address of the receiving station and the transmitting station is determined, and when the address is addressed to the own station, there is a method of returning the decrypted transmission station address and the re-encrypted receiving station address to the retransmission request signal. It is used.
However, in terms of concealing communication contents, both are not preferable methods.

JP 2000-269938 A

As described above, in the communication system using ARQ and encryption, there are still insufficient points regarding the method of using the encryption, and further development has been required.
The present invention has been made in view of such conventional circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a communication system capable of effectively using encryption when performing communication using retransmission and encryption.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the following configuration in a communication system for transmitting data from a transmitting station to a receiving station.
That is, the transmitting station encrypts the receiving station information for identifying the receiving station, the transmitting station information for identifying the transmitting station, and the data to be transmitted, and at least the encrypted data is subjected to error detection coding. A signal is transmitted, and the encrypted receiving station information and transmitting station information included in the transmitted signal are stored.
If the receiving station information is information for identifying the own station based on the result of decoding the receiving station information included in the received signal, the receiving station encrypts data included in the received signal. Error detection is performed on the basis of the error detection result, and the reception station information and the transmission station information included in the received signal are added to the information on the error detection result in an encrypted state at the time of reception. A retransmission request signal is transmitted.
The transmitting station determines whether or not the encrypted receiving station information and transmitting station information included in the received retransmission request signal matches the stored encrypted receiving station information and transmitting station information, If they match, the data to be retransmitted is transmitted based on the information about the error detection result included in the retransmission request signal.
The receiving station decodes data based on the received non-retransmitted data (that is, initial data) and the retransmitted data.

  Therefore, the transmitting station stores the address information part (encrypted receiving station information and transmitting station information here) added to the transmitted data, and the receiving station adds the retransmission request signal for the received signal to the received signal. When the address information portion included in the received retransmission request signal is the same as the stored address information portion, the retransmission request signal is By determining that the data is for the data transmitted by the local station and retransmitting the data, for example, when performing communication using retransmission and encryption, the cipher can be used effectively, and efficient. Communication can be performed.

Here, for example, the transmitting station and the receiving station may be configured as different apparatuses, respectively, or may be configured as a communication station apparatus having both the function of the transmitting station and the function of the receiving station.
The communication is suitable for application to wireless communication, for example, but may be applied to wired communication.
Various information may be used as information for identifying a receiving station or a transmitting station. For example, information such as a unique device number or a unique character string for identifying each station can be used. For example, each station stores information for identifying each station (own station) in a memory.

In addition, as the arrangement order of the receiving station information, the transmitting station information, and the data, for example, the order of receiving station information, transmitting station information, and data is used, but other orders may be used.
In addition, as an aspect of encrypting the receiving station information, the transmitting station information, and the data, for example, an aspect of encrypting each of these so that they can be decrypted separately, or the receiving station information and the transmitting station information A mode in which a set and data are encrypted so that they can be decrypted separately can be used.
Further, as error detection coding, for example, not only an aspect using an error detection code but also an aspect using an error correction code may be used.

Moreover, as a means to memorize | store information, it can comprise using a memory, for example.
The retransmission request signal is not only transmitted to request retransmission when there is an error in the received data, for example, to notify that when there is no error in the received data. May be sent to.
The retransmission request or retransmission can be performed for each block by dividing a series of data into a plurality of blocks, for example.
In addition, as information on the error detection result included in the retransmission request signal, for example, information (data indicating the number of a data block) indicating data to be subjected to a retransmission request is used, and whether retransmission is necessary (block Information indicating whether or not retransmission is necessary) may be used.

Further, as a mode of decoding data based on non-retransmitted data (initial data) and retransmitted data, for example, a portion where an error has occurred in non-retransmitted data is replaced with retransmission data without error and decoded. .
When all data is transmitted without error by non-retransmitted data (initial data), retransmission may not be performed.
Also, for example, even if not all data is transmitted without error, if the number of retransmissions for the same data exceeds a predetermined value (or exceeds a predetermined value), the retransmission is stopped and the next It is also possible to use a mode that shifts to data transmission.

FIG. 3 shows a configuration example of a network of a plurality of radio stations provided in the radio communication system of this example.
In FIG. 3, A to F indicate wireless stations, respectively.
In this example, a plurality of wireless stations perform wireless communication independently using the same frequency. In particular, as shown in FIG. 3, there are wireless stations that exist in a positional relationship such that their transmissions interfere with each other. This is applied to a case where a plurality of opposed communication systems are configured with the same frequency. Each wireless station transmits a signal with a transmitting station address and a receiving station address in order to identify a communication partner.
As the station address, for example, station number information can be used.

FIG. 4A shows an example of the format of the data frame used in the transmission of this example, and FIG. 4B shows an example of the frame format of the retransmission request signal used in the transmission of this example. Is shown.
In FIGS. 4A and 4B, AD1 ′ indicates an encrypted receiving station address, and AD2 ′ indicates an encrypted transmitting station address.
A data frame transmitted from a transmitting station is composed of a receiving station address, a transmitting station address, and data, all of which are encrypted and transmitted.
For the retransmission request signal transmitted from the receiving station, the address received from the transmitting station as the address part is used as it is with the code (encrypted code) AD1 ′, AD2 ′, and added to the signal indicating the error situation Then sent.

Next, an example of operations performed at the transmitting station and the receiving station of this example is shown.
An example of the operation performed in the transmitting station of this example is shown.
For example, transmission data input from the outside is temporarily stored in the transmission memory 1 and then read, and the read transmission data is encrypted by the encryption unit 2, error detection coding by the error detection coding unit 4, and predetermined modulation by the modulation circuit 5 The signal is modulated by the modulation method, converted into a radio frequency signal by the transmission circuit 6 and amplified, and transmitted from the antenna 8 through the transmission / reception switch 7 by radio.
At this time, the encrypted data is stored (accumulated) in the encrypted data memory 3 simultaneously with the transmission, and the address information portion is also stored in the address memory 22 of the control unit 11.
The encrypted data is divided into blocks having a predetermined length, and error detection coding is performed in units of blocks. The data stored in the encrypted data memory 3 is also stored in a format that can be read out in units of blocks.

When the transmission of one frame of data is completed, the retransmission request signal is received, and the reception signal from the antenna 8 is frequency-converted and amplified by the reception circuit 9 through the transmission / reception switch 7 and demodulated by the demodulation circuit 10. The output from the demodulation circuit 10 is input to the control unit 11, and the control unit 11 uses the address matching unit 23 to convert the head address information input from the demodulation circuit 10 to the transmission signal stored in the address memory 22. If they are the same as the address information part, it is determined that the retransmission request signal is addressed to the own station.
Here, in this example, since the encrypted address part in the data frame transmitted from the transmitting station is returned as it is as the address part of the retransmission request signal from the receiving station, such a determination is possible. is there.

  If it is a retransmission request signal addressed to the own station, the contents of the retransmission request (in this example, information on the error situation) are received and stored in the memory. After the reception is completed, the retransmission block control unit 24 reads out the data of the block requested for retransmission based on the contents of the retransmission request from the encrypted data memory 3, and obtains the same encrypted address information as the first transmission. Send at the beginning. Such an operation is repeated until information indicating that there is no error in the retransmission request signal is returned from the receiving station.

  The control unit 11 controls the operation as described above. In this example, the function of the transmission control unit 21 that controls the entire flow of transmission and reception to control the reading and writing of the memory, and the encrypted address information The address collating unit 23 compares the encrypted address information stored in the address memory 22 with the address information of the retransmission request signal to determine whether the address is addressed to the own station. And the function of the retransmission block control unit 24 for storing the contents of the retransmission request and reading out and transmitting the retransmission data based thereon.

An example of the operation performed in the receiving station of this example is shown.
A signal wirelessly received by the antenna 31 is input to the reception circuit 33 through the transmission / reception switch 32, frequency-converted and amplified by the reception circuit 33, demodulated by the demodulation circuit 34, and input to the error detection unit 35. The error detection unit 35 detects the presence or absence of a transmission error for each block using an error detection code for the input received signal. At the same time, the error detection unit 35 accumulates the data portion excluding the parity bit of the error detection code in the encrypted data memory 36 and outputs the data portion to the decryption unit 37 and the control unit 41. The control unit 41 stores the address information as encrypted in the address memory 52.

  The decryption unit 37 decrypts the address part located at the head of the received signal and outputs the result to the control unit 41. The control unit 41 determines whether the address input from the decryption unit 37 is addressed to the own station by the destination decryption unit 53, and if it is addressed to the own station, the reception block control unit 54 Information on the presence or absence of errors for each block, which is an error detection result, is stored in a memory. The error detection result is input from the error detection unit 35 to the control unit 41.

  If there is an erroneous block when reception of one frame of data is completed, the retransmission request unit 55 transmits a retransmission request signal indicating the number of the erroneous block as an error status. The retransmission request signal is read from the address memory 52 without decrypting the encryption of the address portion located at the head in the data frame received from the transmitting station, and transmitted as the address at the head. In transmission of the retransmission request signal, the signal generated by the control unit 41 is modulated by the modulation circuit 39 according to a predetermined modulation method, converted to a radio frequency signal by the transmission circuit 40 and amplified, passed through the transmission / reception switch 32, and the antenna 31. To send by radio.

  With respect to the retransmission data retransmitted from the transmission station based on the retransmission request, an error is detected by the same processing as that of normal data (first data that is not retransmission), and the received block control unit 54 retransmits the data in the encrypted data memory 36. Rewrite and store the previous received data at the block number where the request was made. Note that other processing on the retransmission data is the same as that at the time of receiving the first data, for example.

When such an operation is performed and all blocks have no error, a retransmission request signal indicating no error is transmitted, and for the received data, the data stored in the encrypted data memory 36 is transmitted. Is decrypted by the decryption unit 37, temporarily stored in the reception memory 38, and output from the reception memory 38 to the outside.
For example, even if not all blocks are error-free, if a retransmission request is repeated a predetermined number of times, a retransmission request signal indicating no error is transmitted and the data frame is It is also possible to use a configuration in which the transmission process is terminated and the process proceeds to the transmission process for the next data frame.

The control unit 41 controls the operation as described above. In this example, the control unit 41 controls the overall flow of transmission and reception to control the reading and writing of the memory, and the encrypted state remains encrypted. A function of an address memory 52 that records an address part and transmits it as an address of a retransmission request signal; a function of a destination decryption unit 53 that determines whether the address is addressed to the own station based on the decrypted address part; The function of the reception block control unit 54 that records the error status for each memory and controls the rewriting of the encrypted data memory 36 for the retransmission data, and the function of the retransmission request unit 55 that generates (generates) a retransmission request signal and transmits it. Have.
In this example, the description is omitted. However, for example, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which error correction coding or error detection coding is performed on a retransmission request signal.

Next, referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, an example of a procedure of processing performed in the transmitting station and the receiving station of this example will be described.
FIG. 5 shows an example of a processing procedure performed by a transmitting station that is a station that transmits data.
FIG. 6 shows an example of a procedure of processing performed by a receiving station that is a station that receives data.

  In the transmission station, when data to be transmitted (transmission data) is generated, the transmission data and the destination address (reception station address and transmission station address) for constituting the data frame are read (step S1), and the read reception is performed. The station address and the transmission station address are encrypted (step S2), the read transmission data is encrypted, the encrypted data is divided into a plurality of blocks, and error detection coding is performed (step S3). A data frame is constructed from the receiving station address, transmitting station address, and data) and transmitted by radio (step S4).

When the receiving station wirelessly receives the data frame from the transmitting station in the standby state (step S21), it decrypts the encryption of the address portion included in the received data frame (step S22), and uses the data frame addressed to itself. Whether or not there is is identified (step S23).
When the received data frame is addressed to the own station, the data part is received, and the received data part is detected in blocks for the code as received (the code that remains encrypted). (Step S24). If the error is not 0 (none) based on the error detection result in block units (step S25), the information part of the retransmission request signal indicating the necessity of retransmission for each block (in this example, the error status) (Information part) of the received data, and the receiver station address received from the transmitting station and the code (encrypted code) received from the transmitting station address are added to the information part as it is as the address at the beginning of the frame and a retransmission request is made. A signal is created (step S26), and the created retransmission request signal is transmitted by radio (step S27).

When the transmitting station receives the retransmission request signal from the receiving station, the transmitting station collates the address part in the received retransmission request signal with the encrypted address part in the data frame transmitted by itself (step S5). ), It is determined whether or not they match (step S6).
If these address parts match, it is determined that the signal is a retransmission request signal for transmission from its own station, and subsequently, a signal part indicating the necessity of retransmission for each block (in this example, a signal part in an error situation) After receiving the retransmission request signal, it is determined whether or not the error at the receiving station is 0 (none) based on the content of the signal portion (step S8).

  When the error at the receiving station is 0, the process proceeds to transmission of the next data frame. On the other hand, when there is an error at one or more blocks at the receiving station, the error status of the received retransmission request signal is described. Based on the data transmitted in the past, a block that needs to be retransmitted is selected and read (step S9), and retransmitted data is constructed from the read data and retransmitted (step S10).

When the receiving station receives the retransmission data frame from the transmitting station (step S28), it decrypts the encryption of the address part (step S29) and determines whether it is addressed to itself (step S30). ), If it is addressed to the local station, the error is detected by receiving the data part, and if a good data block is obtained, the data of the block that had an error in the first reception is sent with the retransmission data received this time. Replace (step S31).
As a result of such a retransmission request, when all errors in one frame of data become 0 (step S25), a retransmission request signal indicating that the error is 0 is wirelessly transmitted to the transmitting station. In addition, the original transmission data is acquired by decrypting the encryption of the received data part (step S32). Then, the process proceeds to reception of the next data frame (waiting state).

  As described above, in this example, a transmitting station transmits a data frame composed of a receiving station address, a transmitting station address, and data, detects an error in the data received by the receiving station, and indicates the error status of the transmitting station. In the ARQ scheme in which a retransmission request is sent back to the transmission station and retransmission data is transmitted in response to the retransmission request signal received by the transmission station, the transmission station encrypts and transmits the reception station address, the transmission station address, and the data, Uses the received code for the received station address and the transmitted station address as the address of the retransmission request signal, creates a retransmission request signal from this address and information indicating the error status, and returns it. The transmitting station checks the address part of the received retransmission request signal against the code of the encrypted address part that has been sent, and when they match, it resends the transmission for its own station. It is determined that a demand signal, determines a subsequent needs to be retransmitted by the information of the error situation data, retransmission retransmits the data necessary with the same address code as the initial data.

  Therefore, in this example, for example, a plurality of wireless stations share the same frequency using a method such as CSMA, perform communication, perform retransmission using the ARQ method for transmission errors, encrypt transmission information, and transmit In the communication system, the receiving station realizes an effective transmission method of address information by using the address portion in the data frame received from the transmitting station as the address to be added to the retransmission request signal with the received code as it is. For example, it is possible to avoid a process in which the address side is decrypted once, re-encrypted, and transmitted on the receiving side.

In this example, the receiving station information is constituted by information on the receiving station address, and the transmitting station information is constituted by information on the transmitting station address.
