【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】

【0011】
【発明の実施の形態】
実施の形態1.
この発明の実施の形態1に係る送受信端末装置を図1から図3によって説明する。図1は実施の形態1に係る送受信端末装置が使用される衛星通信システムの構成図である。図2は実施の形態1に係る送受信端末装置において送受信する信号の模式図である。図3は、実施の形態1に係る送受信端末装置の構成を示すブロック図である。図1において、1はゲートウェイ局、2は通信衛星、3は送受信端末装置であり、ゲートウェイ局1から通信衛星2を介して送受信装置3へ回線F1により放送送信を行うとともに、下り回線F2及び上り回線F3による双方向通信を行うものである。また、図2において、4は回線F1によって放送送信するパケットであり、5は下り回線F2により通信衛星2を介してゲートウェイ局1から送受信端末装置3へ送信する管理コマンド、6は上り回線F3により通信衛星2を介して送受信端末装置3からゲートウェイ局1へ送信する応答データである。
【0012】
ゲートウェイ局1は、音楽データや映像データ等を蓄積しており、蓄積された音楽データや映像データを圧縮コーデックによって時間圧縮してパケット4を生成し、回線F1により放送する。また、ゲートウェイ局1は各送受信端末装置との間で双方向通信を行うものである。この双方向通信の用途には、送受信端末装置が車両等の移動体に搭載されている場合に、その移動体の運行管理を行う用途や、その移動体に緊急事態が発生した場合に緊急通報する用途、等がある。
【0013】
次に図3により実施の形態1に係る送受信端末装置の構成を説明する。図3において、7は通信衛星2との間で電波を送受信する送受信アンテナ、8は受信波と送信波を分波する分波器、9は受信波を増幅する低雑音増幅器、10は受信波を分配する分配器である。11は通信衛星2を介して送信される放送電波を受信する放送受信部であり、12は通信衛星2を介してゲートウェイ局1との間で双方向通信を行う双方向通信部、13は双方向通信部12により生成された応答信号を増幅する高出力増幅器である。放送受信部11内において、14はCH制御信号に基づいて放送チャネルを選択し、放送受信した受信信号を中間周波数へ変換する周波数変換器、15はQPSK等の復調処理を行う復調器、16は誤り訂正器である。17は受信信号からパケット毎にパケットデータを抽出するパケット抽出回路、18はパケットデータを伸長して音声・映像データを再生するAVデータ伸長回路、19は出力先の表示装置やスピーカとのインタフェースをとるための出力インタフェース、20は周波数変換器14へ選択する放送チャネルを出力するチャネル制御部である。一方、双方向通信部12において、21はCH制御信号に基づいて、双方向通信チャネルを選択して中間周波数への変換を行う周波数変換器、22はQPSK等の復調処理を行う復調器、23は誤り訂正器である。24は受信信号から管理データを再生する管理データ再生回路、25は管理データに基づいて応答を指示する制御部、26は制御部からの応答指示により、応答データを生成する応答データ生成回路である。27は応答データに誤り訂正符号を付加する誤り訂正符号化器、28はQPSK等の変調を行う変調器、29は変調器28出力を高周波変換する高周波変換器である。
【0014】
次に送受信端末装置の動作について説明する。通信衛星2から放送される放送信号は送受信アンテナ7により受信される。この受信信号は、分波器8を経由して低雑音増幅器9へ入力する。低雑音増幅器9により受信信号を増幅した後、分配器により受信信号を分配する。また、双方向通信により受信した受信信号も、同様にアンテナ7、分波器8、低雑音増幅器9を経て分配器10により分配される。分配器10は、送受信アンテナ7からの受信信号を2系統に分配しており、分配した受信信号の一方を放送受信部11に、もう一方を双方向通信部12に入力するものである。放送受信部11は放送信号を受信して音声・映像等のAVデータを再生出力する。まず、周波数変換器14では、放送されている複数のチャネルから1チャネルを選択するCH制御信号が入力され、このCH制御信号により位相同期ループで生成する局発信号をCHに応じた周波数とし、受信した高周波信号と局発信号をミキシングして低周波変換する。復調器15はQPSK変調波等の復調を行い、誤り訂正器16は、誤り訂正符号による復調処理を行う。
【0015】
復調された放送信号に対してパケット抽出回路17においてパケットデータの読み出し処理を行う。ここで、放送信号は、ディジタル化され圧縮符号化されてパケットに格納して、順次送信されていることを想定している。放送送信されるパケットは、パケット抽出回路17において、パケットヘッダ部により識別し読み出し処理する。パケット抽出回路17により読み出されたパケットデータはAVデータ伸長回路18により、音声及び映像データの伸長処理を行い出力する。この際、AVデータ伸長回路18では、伸長された音声及び映像データをバッファ処理して、複数のパケットに亘って送信される音声及び映像データを順次連結して出力する。出力インタフェース回路19は、表示装置及び拡声装置の入出力方式に応じて音声・映像データを変換し出力する。チャネル制御部20は、主として操作者の選局操作入力に基づいて受信する放送チャネルを設定し、周波数変換器14に受信チャネルを指令する。さらに、複数の周回する衛星を順次切り替えて放送受信したり、衛星からのマルチビーム放送に対し、自局がビーム間を移動しつつ放送受信したりするような場合に生じる衛星間でのチャネル切替、ビーム間でのチャネル切替の発生に基づいて、自動的にCH制御信号を周波数変換器に指令するものとしてもよい。
【0016】
次に、双方向通信部12の動作について説明する。送受信アンテナ7によって受信した双方向通信チャネルの受信信号は、分波器8を経由して低雑音増幅器9により増幅され、分配器10により分配される。周波数変換器21はCH制御信号に基づいて、双方向通信チャネルを選択し、中間周波数への変換を行う。この周波数変換器の動作は周波数変換器14の動作と同様である。周波数変換後の受信信号は復調器22に入力され、復調器22はQPSK変調等の復調を行い、誤り訂正器23は誤り訂正符号による復調処理を行う。管理データ再生回路24は、受信信号から管理データを再生する。ここで、双方向通信における受信信号の通信方式は、放送受信の場合のパケット方式であっても良いし、TDM(時間多重化)方式、FDM(周波数多重化)方式等の種々の方式が考えられる。これらのどの方式を採用するかは、この送受信端末装置が双方向通信に使用される目的、例えば運行管理や緊急通報等の目的、及び送受信端末装置の数、通信頻度等に基づいて設定されるものである。
【0017】
管理データ再生回路24により再生された管理コマンドは、制御部25に入力され、制御部25は、管理コマンドに応じて処理を実行し、応答データ生成回路26に対して、応答指令を出力する。制御部25は、適宜管理コマンドの表示のための出力、及び応答データの入力を有する。さらに、上述の衛星間でのチャネル切替やビーム間移動に伴うチャネル切替のためのCH制御信号を生成して出力する。ここで、制御部25は、運行管理を行う用途や、緊急通報を行う用途等に応じて、処理を行うものであり、次に説明する。
【0018】
運行管理を行う用途においては、ゲートウェイ局1は各種の管理コマンド5を生成し、下り回線F2により送信する。管理コマンド5には、例えば、送受信端末装置3の正常動作又は異常動作状態を応答させるためのヘルスチェックコマンドや、送受信端末装置3の現在位置を特定周期或いはイベント的に送信させるための位置確認コマンド等の各種の情報収集コマンド、この他、天気情報、交通情報等の提供など必ずしも送受信端末装置3からの応答を要求しない情報提供コマンドを用意する。これらの管理コマンドに対して、制御部25は応答指令を応答データ生成回路26へ出力し、双方向通信部12は応答データ6を上り回線F3により通信衛星を介してゲートウェイ局1へ送信する。例えば上記のヘルスチェックコマンドに対して、送受信端末装置3や、搭載される移動体の動作チェックを行い、正常状態であるか異常状態であるかを応答データ6に格納して送信する。また、制御部25は、位置確認コマンドに対して、GPS受信機から位置情報を応答入力として取得し、取得した位置情報を応答データに格納するよう応答データ生成回路26に指令し、ゲートウェイ局1へ送信する。
【0019】
緊急通報を行う用途においては、運行管理を行う用途と同様に、ゲートウェイ局1は各種の管理コマンド5を生成し、下り回線F2により送信する。管理コマンド5には、例えば、送受信端末装置3の正常動作又は異常動作状態を応答させるためのヘルスチェックコマンドや、送受信端末装置3の現在位置を特定周期或いはイベント的に送信させるための位置確認コマンド等の各種の情報収集コマンドがある。また、送受信端末装置3側からは、上記のような管理コマンドに対して応答するとともに、その送受信端末装置3や搭載される移動体の異常状態を検出して、これを上り回線F3により、応答データ6と同様な形式により緊急通報する。異常状態とは、例えば車両や船舶、航空機等の移動体において事故が発生した状態が考えられる。この状態は、運転者等のオペレータによって送受信端末装置に入力されてもよいし、或いは車両等の異常を自動検知して送受信端末装置に入力されてもよい。自動検知の方法としては、例えば車両にあっては特定部分の異常過熱等、船舶にあっては浸水、航空機にあっては高度の急速低下等を、温度計や水位計、高度計等の計測器を用いて計測すればよい。また、車両等の移動体が盗難に遭遇するような場合も異常状態とすることができる。盗難に遭遇した場合の異常検出は、盗難防止用ロックの認証外解除を検知して、送受信端末装置3に入力されるようにすればよい。いずれにしても、異常状態であることが送受信端末装置3に入力されると、送受信端末装置3においては、異常状態である旨の応答データ6を生成し、上り回線F3により緊急通報を行う。
【0020】
応答データ生成回路26において生成された応答データは、誤り訂正符号化器27により、誤り訂正符号を施し、変調器28によりQPSK等の変調を行い、高周波変換器29により高周波変換し、さらに高出力増幅器13により増幅する。高出力増幅器13の出力は分波器8を介して送受信アンテナ7から送信する。なお、分波器8は送受信アンテナ7からの受信信号と送受信アンテナ7への送信信号を分波するものである。
【0021】
このように送受信アンテナ7が受信した受信信号を放送受信部11と双方向通信部12とに分配して、それぞれ受信信号の処理を行い、双方向通信部12は応答データの生成し分波器8を介して送受信アンテナ7により送信することにより、放送受信と双方向通信とを行うことができる。また送受信アンテナ7により受信及び送信を行うので、送受信端末装置の小型化を図ることができる。
【0022】
なお、図3においては、双方向通信部12からの送信信号を分波器8を介して送受信アンテナ7へ入力しているが、送受信アンテナ7を受信アンテナと送信アンテナに分割し、受信アンテナにより受信した受信信号を低雑音増幅器9へ入力し、双方向通信部12からの送信信号を送信アンテナに入力するように構成してもよい。この場合、分波器8は不要となる。
【0023】
実施の形態2.
この発明の実施の形態2に係る送受信端末装置について図4により説明する。
図4は、実施の形態2に係る送受信端末装置の構成を示すブロック図である。図4において、30は通信衛星2を介してゲートウェイ局1との間で双方向の通信を行う第1の双方向通信部、31は通信衛星2を介してゲートウェイ局1との間で双方向の通信を行う第2の双方向通信部であり、32は第1の双方向通信部30と第2の双方向通信部31が出力する送信信号を切り替えて、高出力増幅器13に出力する切替器である。図4において、図3と同一の符号を付した部分又は部品は図3におけるそれらと同等又は相当する部分又は部品を示す。
【0024】
例えば、第1の双方向通信部30として運行管理用途の双方向通信部を設け、第2の双方向通信部31として緊急通報用途の双方向通信部を設けるような場合が考えられる。放送受信部11での動作、第1の双方向通信部30内及び第2の双方向通信部31内での各21〜29のブロックの動作は実施の形態1において説明したものと同様であるので説明を省略する。分配器10は双受信アンテナ7により受信した受信信号を3系統に分配しており、それぞれ放送受信部11、第1の双方向通信部30、第2の双方向通信部31に入力される。また第1の双方向通信部30からの送信信号、及び第2の双方向通信部31からの送信信号は切替器32に入力され、いずれか一方の送信信号を切り替えによって選択し高出力増幅器13へ出力する。高出力増幅器13出力は、分波器8を介して送受信アンテナ7から通信衛星2へ送信される。このように構成することで、1の放送受信と、複数系統の双方向通信を行うことが可能となる。
【0025】
なお、図4においては、送受信アンテナ7によりアンテナ共用しているが、送受信アンテナ7を受信アンテナと送信アンテナに分割し、受信アンテナにより受信した受信信号を低雑音増幅器9へ入力し、第1の双方向通信部30及び第2の双方向通信部31からの送信信号を切替器32及び高出力増幅器13を経由して送信アンテナに入力するように構成してもよい。この場合、分波器8は不要となる。
【0026】
【発明の効果】
この発明の請求項1又は請求項に係る発明によれば、送受信アンテナが受信した受信信号を放送受信部と双方向通信部とに分配して、それぞれ受信信号の処理を行い、双方向通信部は応答データ生成し分波器を介して送受信アンテナにより送信するので、放送受信と双方向通信とを行うことができる。

[0014]
Next, the operation of the transmission / reception terminal device will be described. A broadcast signal broadcast from the communication satellite 2 is received by the transmission / reception antenna 7. This received signal is input to the low noise amplifier 9 via the duplexer 8. After the received signal is amplified by the low noise amplifier 9, the received signal is distributed by the distributor. Similarly, the received signal received by the bidirectional communication is distributed by the distributor 10 via the antenna 7, the demultiplexer 8, and the low noise amplifier 9. The distributor 10 distributes the received signal from the transmission / reception antenna 7 into two systems, and inputs one of the distributed received signals to the broadcast receiving unit 11 and the other to the bidirectional communication unit 12. The broadcast receiving unit 11 receives broadcast signals and reproduces and outputs AV data such as audio and video. First, in the frequency converter 14, a CH control signal for selecting one channel from a plurality of broadcast channels is input, and a local oscillation signal generated in a phase locked loop by this CH control signal is set to a frequency corresponding to the CH, The received high frequency signal and local signal are mixed and converted to low frequency. The demodulator 15 demodulates a QPSK modulated wave or the like, and the error corrector 16 performs demodulation processing using an error correction code.

Furthermore, channel switching between satellites that occurs when multiple orbiting satellites are sequentially switched to receive broadcasts or when the local station receives broadcasts while moving between beams for multi-beam broadcasting from satellites. The CH control signal may be automatically instructed to the frequency converter based on the occurrence of channel switching between the beams.
[0016]
Next, the operation of the bidirectional communication unit 12 will be described. The reception signal of the bidirectional communication channel received by the transmission / reception antenna 7 is amplified by the low noise amplifier 9 via the duplexer 8 and distributed by the distributor 10. The frequency converter 21 selects a bidirectional communication channel based on the CH control signal and performs conversion to an intermediate frequency. The operation of this frequency converter is the same as that of the frequency converter 14. The frequency-converted received signal is input to the demodulator 22, the demodulator 22 performs demodulation such as QPSK modulation, and the error corrector 23 performs demodulation processing using an error correction code. The management data reproduction circuit 24 reproduces management data from the received signal. Here, the communication method of the received signal in the bidirectional communication may be a packet method in the case of broadcast reception, and various methods such as a TDM (time multiplexing) method, an FDM (frequency multiplexing) method, etc. are considered. It is done. Which of these methods is adopted is set based on the purpose for which this transmission / reception terminal device is used for two-way communication, for example, the purpose of operation management or emergency notification, the number of transmission / reception terminal devices, the communication frequency, etc. Is.
[0017]
The management command reproduced by the management data reproduction circuit 24 is input to the control unit 25, and the control unit 25 executes processing according to the management command and outputs a response command to the response data generation circuit 26. The control unit 25 has an output for displaying a management command as appropriate and an input of response data. Further, it generates and outputs a CH control signal for channel switching between the above-mentioned satellites and channel switching accompanying movement between beams. Here, the control part 25 performs a process according to the use which performs operation management, the use which performs an emergency call, etc., and is demonstrated below.
[0018]
For the purpose of performing operation management, the gateway station 1 generates various management commands 5 and transmits them via the downlink F2. The management command 5 includes, for example, a health check command for responding to the normal operation or abnormal operation state of the transmission / reception terminal device 3, and a position confirmation command for transmitting the current position of the transmission / reception terminal device 3 in a specific cycle or event. In addition to this, an information provision command that does not necessarily request a response from the transmission / reception terminal device 3 such as provision of weather information, traffic information, and the like is prepared. In response to these management commands, the control unit 25 outputs a response command to the response data generation circuit 26, and the bidirectional communication unit 12 transmits the response data 6 to the gateway station 1 via the communication satellite via the uplink F3. For example, in response to the above health check command, operation check of the transmission / reception terminal device 3 and the mounted mobile body is performed, and the response data 6 stores and transmits whether it is in a normal state or an abnormal state. Further, the control unit 25 acquires position information from the GPS receiver as a response input in response to the position confirmation command, and instructs the response data generation circuit 26 to store the acquired position information in the response data. Send to.
[0019]
In the use for making an emergency call, the gateway station 1 generates various management commands 5 and transmits them through the downlink F2 in the same way as for the use for operation management. The management command 5 includes, for example, a health check command for responding to the normal operation or abnormal operation state of the transmission / reception terminal device 3, and a position confirmation command for transmitting the current position of the transmission / reception terminal device 3 in a specific cycle or event. There are various information collection commands. In addition, the transmission / reception terminal device 3 responds to the management command as described above, detects an abnormal state of the transmission / reception terminal device 3 and a mobile unit mounted thereon, and responds to this via the uplink F3. Make an emergency call in the same format as Data 6. The abnormal state may be a state where an accident has occurred in a moving body such as a vehicle, a ship, or an aircraft. This state may be input to the transmission / reception terminal device by an operator such as a driver, or may be input to the transmission / reception terminal device by automatically detecting an abnormality in the vehicle or the like. Automatic detection methods include, for example, abnormal overheating of specific parts in vehicles, flooding in ships, rapid drop in altitude in aircraft, etc., measuring instruments such as thermometers, water level gauges, and altimeters. What is necessary is just to measure using. Moreover, it can be set as an abnormal state also when moving bodies, such as a vehicle, encounter a theft. The detection of an abnormality in the case of encountering the theft may be performed by detecting the non-authentication release of the antitheft lock and inputting it to the transmission / reception terminal device 3. In any case, when it is input to the transmission / reception terminal device 3 that it is in an abnormal state, the transmission / reception terminal device 3 generates response data 6 indicating that it is in an abnormal state, and makes an emergency call through the uplink F3.
[0020]

The bidirectional communication unit 12 generates response data and generates a duplexer. Broadcast transmission and two-way communication can be performed by transmitting by the transmission / reception antenna 7 via 8. Further, since reception and transmission are performed by the transmission / reception antenna 7, the transmission / reception terminal device can be downsized.
