Description

本発明は、移動通信システム、基地局装置、移動局装置、および干渉低減方法に関し、特に、近接する基地局装置からの送信波によりセルエッジ付近で生じやすいキャリア間干渉を低減する技術に関する。   The present invention relates to a mobile communication system, a base station apparatus, a mobile station apparatus, and an interference reduction method, and more particularly to a technique for reducing inter-carrier interference that is likely to occur in the vicinity of a cell edge due to a transmission wave from a nearby base station apparatus.

OFDMA(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access:直交周波数分割多元接続)方式では、サブキャリア間の直交性が失われるとキャリア間干渉が生じ、OFDM信号の復調が困難となる。このため、OFDMA方式を採用する基地局それぞれが所定の全周波数を用いて通信する移動通信システムでは、全周波数を利用する範囲が隣接基地局間で重ならないようなセル設計を行うことにより、キャリア間干渉の発生を防いでいる(たとえば非特許文献1参照)。

In the OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) scheme, if the orthogonality between subcarriers is lost, inter-carrier interference occurs, and demodulation of the OFDM signal becomes difficult. For this reason, in a mobile communication system in which each base station adopting the OFDMA scheme communicates using a predetermined total frequency, a cell design is performed so that ranges using all frequencies do not overlap between adjacent base stations. Interference is prevented from occurring (for example, see Non-Patent Document 1).

しかしながら、上記従来の移動通信システムでは、セルエッジ付近において全周波数を用いた通信を行うことができないため、無線リソースの利用に無駄が生じていた。   However, in the conventional mobile communication system, communication using all frequencies cannot be performed in the vicinity of the cell edge, so that use of radio resources is wasted.

本発明は、上記従来の課題に鑑みてなされたものであり、セルエッジ付近でも全周波数を利用することができるよう、キャリア間干渉を低減させることができる移動通信システム、基地局装置、移動局装置、および干渉低減方法を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional problems, and a mobile communication system, a base station apparatus, and a mobile station apparatus that can reduce inter-carrier interference so that all frequencies can be used even near the cell edge. And an interference reduction method.

上記課題を解決するために、本発明に係る移動通信システムは、直交周波数分割多元接続方式により移動局装置と通信を行う複数の基地局装置を含む移動通信システムであって、前記移動局装置は、受信信号に基づいて、前記基地局装置との通信に用いるチャネルに干渉を与える干渉信号を検出する干渉検出手段と、前記干渉検出手段により干渉信号が検出された場合に、干渉信号の検出を前記基地局装置に通知する干渉通知手段と、前記干渉検出手段により検出された干渉信号の電力が、前記干渉通知手段により干渉信号の検出が通知された際の干渉信号の電力に比べ所定量以上低減した場合に、該干渉信号電力の低減量を前記基地局装置に通知する干渉電力低減量通知手段と、を含み、前記基地局装置は、前記干渉通知手段による通知を受けてから前記干渉電力低減量通知手段による通知を受けるまで、近接する基地局装置に対し順次、全サブチャネルの無線送信の一時停止を要求する送信停止要求手段と、前記干渉電力低減量通知手段による通知を受けた場合に、前記送信停止要求手段がその直前に無線送信の一時停止を要求した基地局装置に対し、各チャネルの送信電力、前記一時停止の前における値から該通知に係る低減量だけ低減した値に低減するよう要求する送信電力低減要求手段と、を含むことを特徴とする。 In order to solve the above problems, a mobile communication system according to the present invention is a mobile communication system including a plurality of base station apparatuses that communicate with a mobile station apparatus using an orthogonal frequency division multiple access scheme, and the mobile station apparatus includes: Detecting an interference signal that interferes with a channel used for communication with the base station apparatus based on the received signal, and detecting the interference signal when the interference detection means detects the interference signal. The interference notification means for notifying the base station apparatus, and the power of the interference signal detected by the interference detection means is a predetermined amount or more compared to the power of the interference signal when the interference notification means is notified of the detection of the interference signal. Interference power reduction amount notifying means for notifying the base station apparatus of a reduction amount of the interference signal power when the interference signal power is reduced, and the base station apparatus is notified by the interference notification means. Only after until notified by the interference power reduction amount notifying means, sequentially to the base station apparatus close, the transmission stop request means for requesting temporary stop of the wireless transmission of all sub-channels, the interference power reduction amount notification means When the notification is received by the transmission stop request means, the transmission power value of each channel is changed from the value before the suspension to the notification to the base station apparatus that has requested suspension of wireless transmission immediately before. Transmission power reduction requesting means for requesting a reduction to a value reduced by such a reduction amount.

本発明によれば、移動局装置でキャリア間干渉を引き起こす干渉信号が検出されると、その干渉信号電力が低減するまで、その移動局装置と通信する基地局装置は、近接する基地局装置に対して順次、無線送信の一時停止を要求する。このとき、移動局装置において干渉信号電力の低減が確認されると、その直前に無線送信を一時停止した基地局装置が当該移動局装置で検出された干渉信号の発信源(干渉源)であると推定される。そして、干渉源であると推定された基地局装置は、移動局装置において検出された干渉信号電力の低減量だけ、その送信電力を低減する。このように、移動局装置においてキャリア間干渉が発生しても、それを引き起こす干渉信号の送信電力が即座に低減されるため、隣接する基地局装置からの送信波(干渉波)が届きやすいセルエッジ付近でも全周波数を用いて通信を行うことができる。   According to the present invention, when an interference signal that causes inter-carrier interference is detected in a mobile station device, the base station device that communicates with the mobile station device is in close proximity to the adjacent base station device until the interference signal power is reduced. In response to this, the wireless transmission is requested to be temporarily stopped. At this time, when a reduction in interference signal power is confirmed in the mobile station apparatus, the base station apparatus that has temporarily stopped radio transmission immediately before that is the source (interference source) of the interference signal detected by the mobile station apparatus It is estimated to be. Then, the base station apparatus estimated to be the interference source reduces its transmission power by the amount of interference signal power detected by the mobile station apparatus. In this way, even if inter-carrier interference occurs in the mobile station device, the transmission power of the interference signal that causes it is immediately reduced, so the cell edge where the transmission wave (interference wave) from the adjacent base station device is easy to reach Communication can be performed using all frequencies even in the vicinity.

When the power is reduced by a predetermined amount or more compared to power, the base station apparatus is notified of interference channel information indicating a reduction amount of the interference signal power and a channel of the reduced interference signal, and the transmission power reduction request means When receiving the notification by the power reduction amount notification means, the transmission power of the channel indicated by the interference channel information related to the notification is sent to the base station apparatus that the transmission stop request means has requested to pause the wireless transmission immediately before The value is requested to be reduced from the value before the suspension to the value reduced by the reduction amount related to the notification. According to this aspect, since only the transmission power of the channel related to the interference signal that causes the inter-carrier interference is reduced, it is possible to suitably reduce the inter-carrier interference while suppressing the reduction amount of the transmission power in the base station apparatus.

以下、本発明の一実施形態を図面に基づいて詳細に説明する。   Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

図1は、本発明の一実施形態に係る移動通信システム10の全体構成図である。同図に示すように、移動通信システム10は、複数の基地局12(ここでは基地局12−1〜7のみを図示する。)と複数の移動局14(ここでは1つのみ図示する。)を含んで構成されている。移動局14は、たとえば可搬型の携帯電話機、携帯情報端末、またはデータ通信用カードである。   FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of a mobile communication system 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the mobile communication system 10 includes a plurality of base stations 12 (only the base stations 12-1 to 7 are shown here) and a plurality of mobile stations 14 (only one is shown here). It is comprised including. The mobile station 14 is, for example, a portable mobile phone, a portable information terminal, or a data communication card.

図1に示すように、各基地局12は、通信カバーエリアを示すセル16の端(セルエッジ)がその隣接セルの端と重なり合うように配置されている。たとえば、基地局12−1のセル16−1は、その隣接基地局12−2〜7のセル16−2〜7とそれぞれ重複するエリアを有している。そして、各基地局12は、TDD(Time Division Duplex:時分割複信)方式により自セル内に位置する移動局14と無線信号の送受信を行い、またOFDMA(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access:直交周波数分割多元接続)方式およびTDMA(Time Division Multiple Access:時分割多元接続)方式により多重通信を行う。   As shown in FIG. 1, each base station 12 is arranged such that an end (cell edge) of a cell 16 indicating a communication coverage area overlaps an end of its adjacent cell. For example, the cell 16-1 of the base station 12-1 has areas overlapping with the cells 16-2 to 7-7 of the adjacent base stations 12-2 to 7-7, respectively. Each base station 12 transmits / receives a radio signal to / from the mobile station 14 located in the own cell by a TDD (Time Division Duplex) method, and also uses OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access). Multiplex communication is performed by a multiple access) method and a TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) method.

基地局12と移動局14との間の無線伝送路は、それぞれ時分割多重による複数のタイムスロット(たとえば4スロット)を含む受信フレームと送信フレームとから構成されている。また、タイムスロットごとに、直交分割多重による複数のサブキャリア(たとえば16のサブキャリア)から構成される複数のサブチャネル(たとえば28サブチャネル)が規定されている。そして各通信に使用されるチャネルは、チャネルを識別するチャネル番号、またはタイムスロットを識別するスロット番号とサブチャネル周波数を識別するサブチャネル番号との組み合わせ、により特定されるようになっている。   The radio transmission path between the base station 12 and the mobile station 14 is composed of a reception frame and a transmission frame each including a plurality of time slots (for example, 4 slots) by time division multiplexing. In addition, for each time slot, a plurality of subchannels (for example, 28 subchannels) composed of a plurality of subcarriers (for example, 16 subcarriers) by orthogonal division multiplexing are defined. A channel used for each communication is specified by a channel number for identifying a channel or a combination of a slot number for identifying a time slot and a subchannel number for identifying a subchannel frequency.

移動通信システム10では、移動局14でキャリア間干渉を引き起こす干渉信号が検出されると、その干渉信号電力が低減するまで、その移動局14と通信する基地局12が隣接する基地局12に対して順次、無線送信の一時停止を要求する。ここで、移動局14において干渉信号電力の低減が確認されると、その直前に無線送信を一時停止した基地局12が移動局14で検出された干渉信号の発信源(干渉源)であると推定される。そして、干渉源であると推定された基地局12は、移動局14における干渉信号電力の低減量だけ、その送信電力を低減する。こうして、移動通信システム10では、移動局14においてキャリア間干渉が発生しても、それを引き起こす干渉信号の送信電力が即座に低減されるため、隣接基地局からの送信波(干渉波)が届きやすいセルエッジ付近においても、上記チャネル構成における全周波数を用いて通信を行うことができるようになっている。   In the mobile communication system 10, when an interference signal that causes inter-carrier interference is detected in the mobile station 14, the base station 12 communicating with the mobile station 14 communicates with the adjacent base station 12 until the interference signal power is reduced. Sequentially request for temporary suspension of wireless transmission. Here, when the reduction of the interference signal power is confirmed in the mobile station 14, the base station 12 that temporarily stopped the radio transmission immediately before is the source (interference source) of the interference signal detected by the mobile station 14. Presumed. Then, the base station 12 estimated to be an interference source reduces its transmission power by the amount of interference signal power reduction in the mobile station 14. Thus, in the mobile communication system 10, even if inter-carrier interference occurs in the mobile station 14, the transmission power of the interference signal that causes it is immediately reduced, so that a transmission wave (interference wave) from an adjacent base station arrives. Communication can be performed using all the frequencies in the channel configuration even near the cell edge where it is easy.

以下では、上記処理を実現するための構成および機能について、図2〜4に基づきより詳細に説明する。   Below, the structure and function for implement | achieving the said process are demonstrated in detail based on FIGS.

図2は、移動局14のブロック図である。同図に示すように、移動局14は、アンテナ20、無線部22、IFFT(Inverse Fast Fourier Transform:逆高速フーリエ変換)部24、FFT(Fast Fourier Transform:高速フーリエ変換)部26、ベースバンド信号処理部28、制御部38を含んで構成されている。   FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the mobile station 14. As shown in the figure, the mobile station 14 includes an antenna 20, a radio unit 22, an IFFT (Inverse Fast Fourier Transform) unit 24, an FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) unit 26, a baseband signal. The processing unit 28 and the control unit 38 are included.

アンテナ20は、無線部22から供給される無線信号を放射するとともに、移動局14または隣接基地局12から送信される無線信号を受信し、受信した無線信号を無線部22に出力するものである。なお、送信および受信は、時分割で切り替えられる。   The antenna 20 radiates a radio signal supplied from the radio unit 22, receives a radio signal transmitted from the mobile station 14 or the adjacent base station 12, and outputs the received radio signal to the radio unit 22. . Note that transmission and reception are switched in a time division manner.

無線部22は、アンテナ20で受信される無線信号をベースバンド信号にダウンコンバートする。そして、ベースバンド信号に対して、シンボル同期、ガードインターバル(Guard Interval)の除去、ディジタル信号への変換などを行い、得られたディジタル信号をFFT部26に出力する。   The radio unit 22 down-converts a radio signal received by the antenna 20 into a baseband signal. The baseband signal is subjected to symbol synchronization, guard interval removal, conversion to a digital signal, and the like, and the obtained digital signal is output to the FFT unit 26.

また、無線部22は、IFFT部24から入力されるディジタル信号に対して、アナログ信号への変換、ガードインターバルの付加などを行って、ベースバンド信号を取得し、得られたベースバンド信号を無線部22に供給する。   The radio unit 22 also converts the digital signal input from the IFFT unit 24 into an analog signal, adds a guard interval, and the like to acquire a baseband signal, and wirelessly transmits the obtained baseband signal. Supplied to the unit 22.

IFFT部24は、ベースバンド信号処理部28(マッピング部30)から入力される複素シンボル列を逆高速フーリエ変換(IFFT)によりディジタル信号に変換し、変換されたディジタル信号を無線部22に出力する。   The IFFT unit 24 converts the complex symbol sequence input from the baseband signal processing unit 28 (mapping unit 30) into a digital signal by inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT), and outputs the converted digital signal to the radio unit 22. .

FFT部26は、無線部22から入力されたディジタル信号を高速フーリエ変換(FFT)により各サブキャリアの位相と振幅を表す複素シンボル列に変換し、変換された複素シンボル列をベースバンド信号処理部28(デマッピング部32)に出力する。   The FFT unit 26 converts the digital signal input from the radio unit 22 into a complex symbol sequence representing the phase and amplitude of each subcarrier by fast Fourier transform (FFT), and the converted complex symbol sequence is a baseband signal processing unit. It outputs to 28 (demapping part 32).

ベースバンド信号処理部28は、マッピング部30、デマッピング部32、干渉検出部34を含んで構成され、送受信メッセージと、ベースバンド信号における各サブキャリアの位相および振幅を表す複素シンボル列と、を相互に変換するものである。   The baseband signal processing unit 28 includes a mapping unit 30, a demapping unit 32, and an interference detection unit 34. The baseband signal processing unit 28 includes a transmission / reception message and a complex symbol sequence representing the phase and amplitude of each subcarrier in the baseband signal. Convert between each other.

マッピング部30は、変調方式に応じて、制御部38から入力される送信メッセージ(バイナリデータ)を対応する複素シンボル列に変換し、変換された複素シンボル列をIFFT部24に出力する。   The mapping unit 30 converts the transmission message (binary data) input from the control unit 38 into a corresponding complex symbol sequence according to the modulation scheme, and outputs the converted complex symbol sequence to the IFFT unit 24.

デマッピング部32は、変調方式に応じて、FFT部26から入力される複素シンボル列を対応する受信メッセージ(バイナリデータ)に変換し、変換された受信メッセージを干渉検出部34および制御部38に出力する。   The demapping unit 32 converts the complex symbol sequence input from the FFT unit 26 into a corresponding received message (binary data) according to the modulation method, and converts the converted received message to the interference detection unit 34 and the control unit 38. Output.

干渉検出部34は、相関演算部36を含み、デマッピング部32から入力される受信メッセージに基づいて、基地局12との通信に用いるチャネルに干渉を与える干渉信号を検出するものである。具体的には、相関演算部36により演算される、デマッピング部32から入力される受信メッセージ(バイナリデータ)と干渉検出部34に記憶される既知の参照信号(バイナリデータ)との相関値に基づいて、受信信号に含まれる干渉信号成分を検出(抽出)する。こうして干渉信号が検出されると、干渉検出部34はその干渉信号のチャネルおよび電力(干渉レベル)を制御部38に通知する。   The interference detection unit 34 includes a correlation calculation unit 36 and detects an interference signal that interferes with a channel used for communication with the base station 12 based on the received message input from the demapping unit 32. Specifically, the correlation value between the received message (binary data) input from the demapping unit 32 and the known reference signal (binary data) stored in the interference detection unit 34, which is calculated by the correlation calculation unit 36. Based on this, an interference signal component included in the received signal is detected (extracted). When the interference signal is thus detected, the interference detection unit 34 notifies the control unit 38 of the channel and power (interference level) of the interference signal.

制御部38は、CPUやメモリなどから構成され、移動局14の各部を制御するものである。また、ベースバンド信号処理部28との間で授受される送受信メッセージに係る処理を行う。特に、干渉情報通知部40を含み、干渉検出部34で検出された干渉信号に係る情報を基地局12に通知する。これらの機能は、メモリに記憶される各種制御プログラムをCPUが実行することにより実現される。   The control unit 38 includes a CPU, a memory, and the like, and controls each unit of the mobile station 14. In addition, processing related to a transmission / reception message exchanged with the baseband signal processing unit 28 is performed. In particular, the base station 12 is notified of information relating to the interference signal detected by the interference detection unit 34, including the interference information notification unit 40. These functions are realized by the CPU executing various control programs stored in the memory.

干渉情報通知部40は、干渉検出部34で干渉信号が検出された場合に、すなわち、干渉検出部34から通知される干渉信号電力が所定値以上であった場合に、干渉信号の検出有無を示す送信メッセージ内の所定部分を書き換えることにより、通信中の基地局12に干渉信号が検出された旨を通知するものである。また、該旨を通知後に干渉検出部34から通知される干渉信号電力が低減すると、干渉情報通知部40は、当該干渉信号電力の低減量および当該低減した干渉信号のチャネルを示す干渉チャネル情報(干渉信号に係るチャネル番号、干渉信号に係るスロット番号およびサブチャネル番号の組み合わせ)を送信メッセージ内の所定部分に格納することにより、当該干渉信号電力の低減量および干渉チャネル情報を通信中の基地局12に通知する。   When the interference detection unit 34 detects an interference signal, that is, when the interference signal power notified from the interference detection unit 34 is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, the interference information notification unit 40 determines whether or not the interference signal is detected. By rewriting a predetermined portion in the transmission message shown, the base station 12 in communication is notified that an interference signal has been detected. Further, when the interference signal power notified from the interference detection unit 34 after notification of the fact is reduced, the interference information notification unit 40 indicates the interference channel information indicating the reduction amount of the interference signal power and the channel of the reduced interference signal ( The channel number related to the interference signal, the combination of the slot number and the subchannel number related to the interference signal) is stored in a predetermined part in the transmission message, and the base station that is communicating the reduction amount of the interference signal power and the interference channel information 12 is notified.

図3は、基地局12のブロック図である。同図に示すように、基地局12は、アンテナ50、無線部52、IFFT部54、FFT部56、ベースバンド信号処理部58、通信I/F部64、制御部66、要求状態記憶部72を含んで構成されている。なお、同図におけるアンテナ50、無線部52、IFFT部54、FFT部56は、図2における移動局14のアンテナ20、無線部22、IFFT部24、FFT部26と、それぞれ同様の構成および機能を有するため、ここでは詳細な説明を割愛する。   FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the base station 12. As shown in the figure, the base station 12 includes an antenna 50, a radio unit 52, an IFFT unit 54, an FFT unit 56, a baseband signal processing unit 58, a communication I / F unit 64, a control unit 66, and a request state storage unit 72. It is comprised including. In addition, the antenna 50, the radio | wireless part 52, IFFT part 54, and the FFT part 56 in the same figure are respectively the same structures and functions as the antenna 20, the radio | wireless part 22, the IFFT part 24, and the FFT part 26 of the mobile station 14 in FIG. Therefore, the detailed description is omitted here.

ベースバンド信号処理部58は、マッピング部60、デマッピング部62を含んで構成され、送受信メッセージと、ベースバンド信号における各サブキャリアの位相および振幅を表す複素シンボル列と、を相互に変換するものである。   The baseband signal processing unit 58 includes a mapping unit 60 and a demapping unit 62, and mutually converts a transmission / reception message and a complex symbol sequence representing the phase and amplitude of each subcarrier in the baseband signal. It is.

マッピング部60は、変調方式に応じて、通信I/F部64から入力される送信メッセージ(バイナリデータ)およびベースバンド信号処理部58に記憶される既知の参照信号(バイナリデータ)を対応する複素シンボル列に変換し、変換された複素シンボル列をIFFT部54に出力する。   The mapping unit 60 corresponds to the complex corresponding to the transmission message (binary data) input from the communication I / F unit 64 and the known reference signal (binary data) stored in the baseband signal processing unit 58 according to the modulation method. The symbol string is converted into a symbol string, and the converted complex symbol string is output to IFFT section 54.

デマッピング部62は、変調方式に応じて、FFT部56から入力される複素シンボル列を対応する受信メッセージ(バイナリデータ)に変換し、変換された受信メッセージを通信I/F部64および制御部66に出力する。また、後述する送信制御部70の指示に従って、サブチャネルごとの送信電力を制御する。   The demapping unit 62 converts the complex symbol sequence input from the FFT unit 56 into a corresponding received message (binary data) according to the modulation method, and converts the converted received message into the communication I / F unit 64 and the control unit. 66. Further, the transmission power for each subchannel is controlled in accordance with an instruction from a transmission control unit 70 described later.

通信I/F部64は、通信回線(有線回線または無線回線)を介して図示しない上位装置から送信される送信メッセージをマッピング部60に出力するとともに、隣接基地局12から送信される送信停止要求メッセージおよび送信電力低減要求メッセージ(後述)を制御部66に出力する。また、デマッピング部62から入力される受信メッセージを上位装置に出力するとともに、制御部66の指示に従って送信停止要求メッセージおよび送信電力低減要求メッセージを指定された隣接基地局12に送信する。   The communication I / F unit 64 outputs a transmission message transmitted from a host device (not shown) via a communication line (wired line or wireless line) to the mapping unit 60 and transmits a transmission stop request transmitted from the adjacent base station 12 A message and a transmission power reduction request message (described later) are output to control unit 66. In addition, the reception message input from the demapping unit 62 is output to the host device, and the transmission stop request message and the transmission power reduction request message are transmitted to the designated adjacent base station 12 according to the instruction of the control unit 66.

制御部66は、CPUやメモリなどから構成され、基地局12の各部を制御するものである。また、デマッピング部62から出力される受信メッセージに基づいて、通信中の移動局14から干渉信号が検出された旨の通知があったか否か、その移動局14において検出された干渉信号電力が低減した旨の通知があったか否かなどを判断したり、受信メッセージの所定部分から干渉信号電力の低減量や干渉チャネル情報などを抽出したりする。   The control unit 66 includes a CPU, a memory, and the like, and controls each unit of the base station 12. Further, based on the received message output from the demapping unit 62, whether or not there is a notification from the communicating mobile station 14 that an interference signal has been detected, and the interference signal power detected at the mobile station 14 is reduced. It is determined whether or not there has been a notification to the effect, or a reduction amount of interference signal power, interference channel information, and the like are extracted from a predetermined portion of the received message.

さらに、制御部66は、送信制御要求部68および送信制御部70を含み、通信中の移動局14において干渉信号が検出された場合に隣接基地局12に対して無線送信の一時停止や送信電力の低減などを要求するとともに、隣接基地局12からの要求に従って無線送信の一時停止や送信電力の低減などを行う。これらの機能は、メモリに記憶される各種制御プログラムをCPUが実行することにより実現される。   Furthermore, the control unit 66 includes a transmission control request unit 68 and a transmission control unit 70. When an interference signal is detected in the mobile station 14 that is in communication, the control unit 66 temporarily stops the radio transmission or transmits the transmission power to the adjacent base station 12. In response to a request from the adjacent base station 12, the wireless transmission is temporarily stopped or transmission power is reduced. These functions are realized by the CPU executing various control programs stored in the memory.

送信制御要求部68は、通信中の移動局14により干渉信号が検出された旨の通知を受けてから検出された干渉信号が低減した旨の通知を受けるまでの間、隣接基地局12に対し順次、無線送信の一時停止を要求する。具体的には、後述する要求状態記憶部72に記憶される要求状態が「未要求」である隣接基地局12に対し、整理番号の小さいものから順に所定の間隔で(たとえば1フレームごとに)無線送信の一時停止を要求するよう、各隣接基地局12宛ての送信停止要求メッセージを作成し、通信I/F部64に出力する。   The transmission control requesting unit 68 receives the notification that the interference signal has been detected by the mobile station 14 in communication until the notification that the detected interference signal has been reduced until the adjacent base station 12 receives the notification. Sequentially, a temporary stop of wireless transmission is requested. Specifically, with respect to the adjacent base station 12 whose request state stored in the request state storage unit 72, which will be described later, is “unrequested”, at a predetermined interval in order from the smallest reference number (for example, every frame) A transmission stop request message addressed to each adjacent base station 12 is created so as to request a temporary stop of radio transmission, and is output to the communication I / F unit 64.

また、送信制御要求部68は、移動局14により干渉信号電力が低減した旨(干渉信号電力の低減量および干渉チャネル情報を含む)の通知を受けると、その直前に無線送信の一時停止を要求した隣接基地局12に対し、該通知された干渉チャネル情報が示すチャネルの送信電力を該通知された低減量だけ低減するよう要求する。具体的には、後述する要求状態記憶部72に記憶される要求状態が「要求済」である隣接基地局12のうち整理番号が最も大きい基地局12宛てに、上記干渉信号電力の低減量および干渉チャネル情報を含む送信電力低減要求メッセージを作成し、通信I/F部64に出力する。   When the transmission control request unit 68 receives a notification that the interference signal power has been reduced by the mobile station 14 (including the reduction amount of the interference signal power and the interference channel information), the transmission control request unit 68 requests to pause the radio transmission immediately before that. The requested adjacent base station 12 is requested to reduce the transmission power of the channel indicated by the notified interference channel information by the notified reduction amount. Specifically, the amount of reduction of the interference signal power to the base station 12 having the largest reference number among the adjacent base stations 12 whose request state stored in the request state storage unit 72 described later is “Requested” and A transmission power reduction request message including interference channel information is created and output to communication I / F unit 64.

図4は、要求状態記憶部72に記憶される情報の一例を示す図である。同図に示すように、要求状態記憶部72には、隣接基地局12を識別する基地局IDごとに、その基地局12に対して送信したメッセージに係る要求状態および要求内容が記憶されている。ここで、同図における要求状態「要求済」、「要求中」、「未要求」は、それぞれ「送信停止要求メッセージに対する応答を受け取った状態」、「送信停止要求メッセージを送信したがその応答を受け取っていない状態」、「送信停止要求メッセージを送信していない状態」を示している。なお、要求状態記憶部72における要求状態および要求内容は、送信制御要求部68が隣接基地局12に対して上記要求を行った時、要求を行った隣接基地局12からの応答を受けた時などに、制御部66により更新される。また、同図に示す要求内容は、後の動作解析やより高度な要求動作に用いられるものであり、必須の情報ではない。   FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of information stored in the request state storage unit 72. As shown in the figure, the request state storage unit 72 stores, for each base station ID that identifies an adjacent base station 12, a request state and request contents relating to a message transmitted to the base station 12. . Here, the request states “requested”, “in request”, and “unrequested” in the same figure are “state in which a response to the transmission stop request message has been received” and “transmission stop request message, respectively. “Not received” and “Not transmitting transmission stop request message”. The request state and request contents in the request state storage unit 72 are obtained when the transmission control request unit 68 makes a request to the adjacent base station 12 and receives a response from the adjacent base station 12 that made the request. For example, it is updated by the control unit 66. The request contents shown in the figure are used for later operation analysis and more advanced request operations, and are not essential information.

送信制御部70は、隣接基地局12からの要求に従って、無線送信の一時停止や送信電力の低減などを行うものである。すなわち、送信制御部70は、隣接基地局12から送信停止要求メッセージを受信すると、一時的に(たとえば1フレームだけ)全サブチャネルの無線送信を停止するよう無線部52に指示するとともに、無線送信を一時停止した旨の応答を送信停止要求メッセージの送信元に返信する。   The transmission control unit 70 suspends wireless transmission or reduces transmission power according to a request from the adjacent base station 12. In other words, when receiving a transmission stop request message from the adjacent base station 12, the transmission control unit 70 instructs the wireless unit 52 to temporarily stop wireless transmission of all subchannels (for example, only one frame), and perform wireless transmission. Is returned to the sender of the transmission stop request message.

また、送信制御部70は、隣接基地局12から送信電力低減要求メッセージを受信すると、該メッセージに含まれる干渉チャネル情報が示すチャネルの送信電力を該メッセージに含まれる低減量だけ低減するよう、ベースバンド信号処理部58(マッピング部60)に指示する。   Further, when receiving the transmission power reduction request message from the adjacent base station 12, the transmission control unit 70 is configured to reduce the transmission power of the channel indicated by the interference channel information included in the message by a reduction amount included in the message. The band signal processing unit 58 (mapping unit 60) is instructed.

なお、送信制御部70は、上記干渉チャネル情報が示すチャネルで継続中の通信に必要なCNR(Carrier to Noise Ratio:搬送波対雑音電力比)を下限とし、送信電力をそれ以下には下げないようにしてもよい。また、上記送信制御要求部68において、干渉信号電力の低減量のみを含む送信電力低減要求メッセージを作成するようにしてもよいが、この場合、送信制御部70は、全サブチャネルの送信電力が該メッセージに含まれる低減量だけ低減するよう、無線部52に指示する。   Note that the transmission control unit 70 sets a CNR (Carrier to Noise Ratio) necessary for ongoing communication on the channel indicated by the interference channel information as a lower limit, and does not lower the transmission power below that. It may be. In addition, the transmission control request unit 68 may create a transmission power reduction request message including only the reduction amount of the interference signal power. In this case, the transmission control unit 70 determines that the transmission power of all subchannels is The wireless unit 52 is instructed to reduce the amount of reduction included in the message.

次に、移動通信システム10における基地局12および移動局14の動作を図5に基づいて説明する。   Next, operations of the base station 12 and the mobile station 14 in the mobile communication system 10 will be described with reference to FIG.

図5は、移動通信システム10の処理を示すシーケンス図である。ここでは、基地局12−1と通信中の移動局14が、基地局12−1のセル16−1と基地局12−3のセル16−3が重複するエリアに位置しており(図1参照)、基地局12−3からの送信波により移動局14においてキャリア間干渉が生じている場合を例に挙げて説明する。   FIG. 5 is a sequence diagram showing processing of the mobile communication system 10. Here, the mobile station 14 in communication with the base station 12-1 is located in an area where the cell 16-1 of the base station 12-1 and the cell 16-3 of the base station 12-3 overlap (FIG. 1). For example, a case where inter-carrier interference occurs in the mobile station 14 due to a transmission wave from the base station 12-3 will be described.

この場合、移動局14では、受信信号と既知の参照信号とに基づいて干渉信号が検出される。ただしこの時点では、検出された干渉信号がどの隣接基地局12から送信された信号であるかが不明であるため、移動局14は、干渉信号が検出された旨だけを基地局12−1に通知する(S100)。   In this case, the mobile station 14 detects an interference signal based on the received signal and the known reference signal. However, at this point in time, since it is unclear from which adjacent base station 12 the detected interference signal is transmitted, the mobile station 14 informs the base station 12-1 only that the interference signal has been detected. Notification is made (S100).

移動局14から干渉信号が検出された旨の通知を受けると、基地局12−1は、要求状態記憶部72に記憶される要求状態が「未要求」である隣接基地局12−2〜7に対し、整理番号の小さいものから順に無線送信の一時停止を要求する。ここでは、まず基地局12−2に無線送信の一時停止を要求する(S102)。そして、基地局12−2から無線送信を一時停止した旨の応答を受けると(S104)、基地局12−1は、所定時間(たとえば1フレーム)だけ、移動局14による干渉信号電力が低減した旨の通知を待機する(S106)。   Upon receiving a notification from the mobile station 14 that an interference signal has been detected, the base station 12-1 receives the adjacent base stations 12-2 to 7-7 whose request state stored in the request state storage unit 72 is “unrequested” On the other hand, the wireless transmission is requested to be paused in order from the smallest reference number. Here, first, the base station 12-2 is requested to pause wireless transmission (S102). When receiving a response from the base station 12-2 indicating that wireless transmission has been suspended (S104), the base station 12-1 reduces the interference signal power from the mobile station 14 for a predetermined time (for example, one frame). A notification to that effect is waited (S106).

所定時間経過しても移動局14からの通知がない場合、すなわちタイムアウトした場合(S108)、基地局12−2に対する処理と同様の処理を基地局12−3に対して行う。すなわち、基地局12−1は、基地局12−3に対して無線送信の一時停止を要求する(S110)。その後、基地局12−3から無線送信を一時停止した旨の応答を受けると(S112)、基地局12−1は、所定時間だけ、移動局14による干渉信号電力が低減した旨の通知を待機する(S114)。   If there is no notification from the mobile station 14 after a predetermined time has elapsed, that is, if a time-out occurs (S108), the same processing as the processing for the base station 12-2 is performed for the base station 12-3. That is, the base station 12-1 requests the base station 12-3 to suspend wireless transmission (S110). Thereafter, upon receiving a response from the base station 12-3 indicating that the radio transmission has been suspended (S112), the base station 12-1 waits for a notification that the interference signal power has been reduced by the mobile station 14 for a predetermined time. (S114).

ここでは、基地局12−3からの送信波が移動局14におけるキャリア間干渉を引き起こす場合を例示しているため、基地局12−3が無線送信を一時停止すると、それまで移動局14で検出されていた干渉信号の電力が低減する(ここではチャネルCH3における干渉信号電力がN[dB]だけ低減したものとする)。ここで、移動局14は、干渉信号電力が低減した旨(干渉信号電力の低減量N[dB]および該干渉信号に係るチャネル番号CH3を含む)を基地局12−1に通知する(S116)。   Here, the case where the transmission wave from the base station 12-3 causes inter-carrier interference in the mobile station 14 is illustrated, so when the base station 12-3 temporarily stops wireless transmission, the mobile station 14 detects until then The power of the interference signal that has been reduced is reduced (here, it is assumed that the interference signal power in the channel CH3 is reduced by N [dB]). Here, the mobile station 14 notifies the base station 12-1 that the interference signal power has been reduced (including the interference signal power reduction amount N [dB] and the channel number CH3 related to the interference signal) (S116). .

タイムアウト前に移動局14から干渉信号電力が低減した旨の通知を受けると、基地局12−1は、直前に無線送信の一時停止を要求した基地局12−3による無線送信の停止と移動局14における干渉信号電力の低減とが相関する、すなわち基地局12−3が移動局14において検出された干渉信号の発信源である、と推定する。そして、基地局12−1は、その基地局12−3に対し、S116で通知されたチャネル番号CH3の送信電力をS116で通知された低減量N[dB]だけ低減するよう要求する(S118)。   Upon receiving notification from the mobile station 14 that the interference signal power has decreased before the time-out, the base station 12-1 stops the wireless transmission by the base station 12-3 that requested the temporary stop of the wireless transmission immediately before and the mobile station 14 is estimated to correlate with the reduction in interference signal power at 14, that is, the base station 12-3 is the source of the interference signal detected at the mobile station 14. Then, the base station 12-1 requests the base station 12-3 to reduce the transmission power of the channel number CH3 notified in S116 by the reduction amount N [dB] notified in S116 (S118). .

こうして、キャリア間干渉を引き起こした干渉信号の送信電力だけが低減されるため、干渉源である基地局12−3における送信電力の低減量を最小化しつつ、セルエッジ付近に位置する移動局14で発生したキャリア間干渉を好適に低減することができる。   In this way, since only the transmission power of the interference signal that caused the inter-carrier interference is reduced, it is generated at the mobile station 14 located near the cell edge while minimizing the reduction amount of the transmission power in the base station 12-3 as the interference source. Thus, the inter-carrier interference can be suitably reduced.

なお、移動通信システム10では、S116において「干渉信号電力全体」ではなく「干渉信号電力の低減量」を基地局12−1に通知するようにしているため、たとえキャリア間干渉を引き起こす干渉信号の発信源が基地局12−3以外に存在したとすると、すなわち、移動局14で検出された干渉信号の電力が2以上の干渉信号の合計電力であったとしても、上記シーケンスが2回以上繰り返し実行されることにより該2以上の干渉信号はそれぞれ低減されることになる。   Note that in the mobile communication system 10, the “interference signal power reduction amount” is notified to the base station 12-1 in S 116 instead of “total interference signal power”. Assuming that the transmission source is located other than the base station 12-3, that is, even if the power of the interference signal detected by the mobile station 14 is the total power of two or more interference signals, the above sequence is repeated twice or more. When executed, the two or more interference signals are reduced.

以上説明した移動通信システム10によれば、移動局14においてキャリア間干渉が発生しても、それを引き起こす干渉信号の送信電力が即座に低減されるため、隣接基地局12からの送信波が届きやすいセルエッジ付近でも、全周波数を用いて通信を行うことができる。   According to the mobile communication system 10 described above, even if inter-carrier interference occurs in the mobile station 14, the transmission power of the interference signal that causes it is immediately reduced, so that the transmission wave from the adjacent base station 12 arrives. Communication can be performed using all frequencies even near the cell edge where it is easy to do.

なお、本発明は、上記実施形態に限定されるものではなく、種々の変形実施が可能である。   In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, A various deformation | transformation implementation is possible.

たとえば、上記実施形態では、基地局12が、その隣接基地局12に対して無線送信の一時停止や送信電力の低減を要求する構成、およびその隣接基地局12からの要求に従って無線送信の一時停止や送信電力の低減を行う構成、の両構成を有する例を示したが、基地局12は、そのいずれか一方の構成のみを有するようにしてもよい。   For example, in the above-described embodiment, a configuration in which the base station 12 requests the neighboring base station 12 to pause radio transmission or reduce transmission power, and pauses radio transmission according to a request from the neighboring base station 12. However, the base station 12 may have only one of the configurations.

また、干渉信号が検出された旨の通知を受けた基地局12は、その隣接基地局12だけでなく、通信中の移動局14に対して干渉を与え得る範囲内に位置する近接基地局12に対して、無線送信の一時停止および送信電力の低減を要求してもよい(近接する範囲≧隣接する範囲)。   Further, the base station 12 that has received the notification that the interference signal has been detected is not only the adjacent base station 12 but also the neighboring base station 12 that is located within a range in which interference can be given to the mobile station 14 that is in communication. On the other hand, the wireless transmission may be requested to be temporarily stopped and the transmission power may be reduced (the adjacent range ≧ the adjacent range).
