Description

本発明は、無線通信を利用して、複数の無線通信端末間でデータの送受信を行う無線通信システムにおける無線通信方法及びその無線通信システムを構成する無線通信端末収容装置並びに無線通信端末に関する。   The present invention relates to a radio communication method in a radio communication system that transmits and receives data between a plurality of radio communication terminals using radio communication, a radio communication terminal accommodating apparatus and a radio communication terminal that constitute the radio communication system.

従来、無線通信を利用して、複数の無線通信端末間でデータのやり取りを行う無線通信ネットワークが存在する。この無線通信ネットワークにおける無線通信方法は、他の無線通信端末間の通信を管理する無線通信端末（以降、この通信の管理を行う無線通信端末を無線通信端末収容装置と呼ぶ）が存在して、この無線通信端末収容装置によって各無線通信端末に通信権が与えられる集中制御型の通信方法と、無線通信端末収容装置が存在せず、各無線通信端末が伝送媒体における通信状況の確認（キャリアセンス）を行って、無線伝送媒体（以下、伝送媒体と呼ぶ）へのアクセスを行う分散制御型の通信方法とに大別される。   2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there are wireless communication networks that exchange data between a plurality of wireless communication terminals using wireless communication. The wireless communication method in this wireless communication network includes a wireless communication terminal that manages communication between other wireless communication terminals (hereinafter, a wireless communication terminal that manages this communication is referred to as a wireless communication terminal accommodating device), A centralized control communication method in which a communication right is given to each wireless communication terminal by the wireless communication terminal accommodating device, and there is no wireless communication terminal accommodating device, and each wireless communication terminal confirms a communication status in a transmission medium (carrier sense). And a distributed control communication method for accessing a wireless transmission medium (hereinafter referred to as a transmission medium).

集中制御型の通信方法では、無線通信端末収容装置がマスターとなり、この無線通信端末収容装置に収容されている複数の無線通信端末のそれぞれがスレーブとなって、無線通信端末収容装置が、複数の無線通信端末のそれぞれと無線伝送媒体を介して通信を行い、複数の無線通信端末のそれぞれにおける通信の制御を行っている。   In the centralized control type communication method, the wireless communication terminal accommodating device serves as a master, each of the plurality of wireless communication terminals accommodated in the wireless communication terminal accommodating device serves as a slave, and the wireless communication terminal accommodating device includes a plurality of wireless communication terminal accommodating devices. Communication is performed with each of the wireless communication terminals via a wireless transmission medium, and communication of each of the plurality of wireless communication terminals is controlled.

一方、例えば、下記の非特許文献１には、伝送特性の変動の大きな無線伝送路を使用したネットワークにおいて、伝送効率の良い中継経路を探索するための経路制御システムが記載されている。この経路制御システムでは、各ノードが、隣接ノードからの受信パケットの誤りビット数、自ノードの受信回線バンド幅、回線品質を測定した時刻をブロードキャストすることによって、隣接ノード同士がそれぞれの回線状況を把握することができるとともに、さらに、各ノードは、隣接ノードから受信した回線状況をそのままブロードキャストすることによって、各ノードの回線状況が、隣接ノードにさらに隣接したノードへと広がり、最終的には、ネットワーク内のすべてのノードがネットワーク内の各ノードの回線状況を把握できるようになっている。この非特許文献１に記載されている技術思想は、従来の経路制御方式であるＯＳＰＦ（Open Shortest Path First）を無線通信に応用したものであり、各ノードは、ネットワーク内の他のノードの回線状況を経路情報として使用している。
"無線回線用非対称適応経路制御システムＡＰＦＳ",IC98，日本ソフトウェア科学会，pp.107-116，1998 On the other hand, for example, the following Non-Patent Document 1 describes a path control system for searching for a relay path with good transmission efficiency in a network using a wireless transmission path whose transmission characteristics vary greatly. In this routing control system, each node broadcasts the number of error bits in the received packet from the adjacent node, the reception line bandwidth of the own node, and the time when the line quality is measured, so that the adjacent nodes can change their line conditions. In addition, each node broadcasts the line status received from the adjacent node as it is, so that the line status of each node spreads to a node further adjacent to the adjacent node, and finally, All nodes in the network can grasp the line status of each node in the network. The technical idea described in Non-Patent Document 1 is the application of OSPF (Open Shortest Path First), which is a conventional path control method, to wireless communication. Each node is connected to a line of another node in the network. The situation is used as route information.

しかしながら、無線通信端末収容装置が、収容している各無線通信端末同士の通信の関係を示す情報（「ある無線通信端末が、どの無線通信端末を検知できているか」、「ある無線通信端末から送信された情報は、どの無線通信端末に届いているか」などの情報）を正確に把握していないと、収容している無線通信端末に効率の良い通信を行わせることができないばかりか、並行した無線通信端末間の直接の通信（サイドストリーム）を行わせることも不可能であり、また、無線通信端末同士の通信が干渉を起こす状況を導いてしまうことにもなりかねない。   However, the wireless communication terminal accommodating apparatus has information indicating a communication relationship between the wireless communication terminals accommodated (“what wireless communication terminal can detect a certain wireless communication terminal”, “from which certain wireless communication terminal If the transmitted information does not accurately grasp information such as “which wireless communication terminal has arrived”, it is not only possible to make the accommodated wireless communication terminal perform efficient communication, but also in parallel. It is also impossible to perform direct communication (side stream) between the wireless communication terminals, which may lead to a situation in which communication between the wireless communication terminals causes interference.

また、非特許文献１に記載の技術によれば、各ノードの回線状況が、隣接ノードにさらに隣接したノードへと徐々に広がっていくため、ネットワーク内のすべてのノードが各ノードの回線状況を把握するまでに非常に時間がかかるとともに、ネットワーク内のトラフィックが増大してしまう。また、さらに、無線通信の場合には、回線状況を始めとする様々な状況が刻一刻と変化するため、こうした通信に係る状況は、瞬時に通信に反映される必要があるが、非特許文献１に記載の技術では、こうした瞬時の変化に対応できず、時間をかけて拡がっていく情報は無線通信状況の変化する環境によっては正確かつ意味のある情報とは言えないものである。   In addition, according to the technique described in Non-Patent Document 1, since the line status of each node gradually spreads to nodes further adjacent to adjacent nodes, all the nodes in the network change the line status of each node. It takes a very long time to grasp and traffic in the network increases. Furthermore, in the case of wireless communication, various conditions such as line conditions change every moment. Therefore, it is necessary to instantly reflect such communication-related conditions in communication. The technology described in 1 cannot cope with such an instantaneous change, and information that spreads over time cannot be said to be accurate and meaningful information depending on the environment in which the wireless communication status changes.

上記課題を解決するため、本発明は、無線通信状況の変化が比較的大きな環境であっても無線通信システム全体の構成を俯瞰的に把握することを可能とする無線通信方法及びこの無線通信システムを構成する無線通信端末収容装置並びに無線通信端末を提供することを目的とする。   In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a wireless communication method and a wireless communication system that enable a comprehensive overview of the configuration of the entire wireless communication system even in an environment in which changes in the wireless communication status are relatively large.

以下、図面を参照しながら、本発明の実施の形態について説明する。図１は、本発明の実施の形態における無線通信システムの構成の第１の例を示す模式図である。なお、説明を判りやすくするため、図１には、１台の無線通信端末収容装置１０１と５台の無線通信端末１０２ａ〜１０２ｅによって構成される無線通信システムが図示されており、これらの通信範囲が模式的に描かれている。また、５台の無線通信端末１０２ａ〜１０２ｅには、それぞれ（１）〜（５）の番号が付されている。なお、図中では無線通信端末１０２ａ〜１０２ｅに付されている番号（１）〜（５）は、丸囲み数字で図示されている。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a first example of a configuration of a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention. For easy understanding, FIG. 1 shows a wireless communication system including one wireless communication terminal accommodating apparatus 101 and five wireless communication terminals 102a to 102e. Is schematically depicted. The five wireless communication terminals 102a to 102e are assigned numbers (1) to (5), respectively. In the figure, the numbers (1) to (5) given to the wireless communication terminals 102a to 102e are indicated by circled numbers.

図１では、１台の無線通信端末収容装置１０１が５台の無線通信端末１０２ａ〜１０２ｅを収容している。無線通信端末収容装置１０１は、各無線通信端末１０２ａ〜１０２ｅと相互に通信を行うことが可能であるが、無線通信端末１０２ａ〜１０２ｅ同士は、通信環境や通信電力などにそれぞれ違いがあり、必ずしも相互に通信が行えるとは限らない。ここでは、例えば、各無線通信端末１０２ａ〜１０２ｅの通信範囲が図１に描かれているように等方的であるものとする。   In FIG. 1, one wireless communication terminal accommodating apparatus 101 accommodates five wireless communication terminals 102a to 102e. The wireless communication terminal accommodating apparatus 101 can communicate with each of the wireless communication terminals 102a to 102e. However, the wireless communication terminals 102a to 102e have different communication environments, communication powers, and the like. It is not always possible to communicate with each other. Here, for example, it is assumed that the communication range of each of the wireless communication terminals 102a to 102e is isotropic as depicted in FIG.

なお、無線通信端末１０２ａ〜１０２ｅの通信範囲とは、無線通信端末１０２ａ〜１０２ｅが送出した無線信号に含まれる内容が、参照可能（利用可能）な状態で受信できる無線信号到達範囲である。したがって、例えば、無線通信端末１０２ｂの通信範囲内に位置する無線通信端末１０２ｃは、無線通信端末１０２ｂからの信号を参照可能な状態で受信することができる一方、無線通信端末１０２ｂの通信範囲外に存在する無線通信装置１０２ｄは、無線通信端末１０２ｂからの無線信号を、参照可能な状態で受信することはできない。したがって、例えば、無線通信端末１０２ｃは無線通信端末１０２ｂの存在を検知することが可能である一方、無線通信端末１０２ｄは無線通信端末１０２ｂの存在を検知することができない。   Note that the communication range of the radio communication terminals 102a to 102e is a radio signal reachable range in which the contents included in the radio signals transmitted by the radio communication terminals 102a to 102e can be received in a state where they can be referred (available). Therefore, for example, the wireless communication terminal 102c located within the communication range of the wireless communication terminal 102b can receive the signal from the wireless communication terminal 102b in a state where it can be referred to, but is outside the communication range of the wireless communication terminal 102b. The existing wireless communication device 102d cannot receive the wireless signal from the wireless communication terminal 102b in a state where it can be referred to. Therefore, for example, the wireless communication terminal 102c can detect the presence of the wireless communication terminal 102b, while the wireless communication terminal 102d cannot detect the presence of the wireless communication terminal 102b.

上記の通信範囲の定義に基づいた場合、図１に示す無線通信システムの無線通信端末１０２ａ〜１０２ｅは、それぞれ次のように互いの存在を検知することができる。
・無線通信端末１０２ａは、無線通信端末１０２ｂ、１０２ｄ、１０２ｅの存在を検知
・無線通信端末１０２ｂは、無線通信端末１０２ａ、１０２ｃ、１０２ｄの存在を検知
・無線通信端末１０２ｃは、無線通信端末１０２ａ、１０２ｂの存在を検知
・無線通信端末１０２ｄは、無線通信端末１０２ａ、１０２ｅの存在を検知
・無線通信端末１０２ｅは、無線通信端末１０２ａ、１０２ｂ、１０２ｃ、１０２ｄの存在を検知 When based on the definition of the above communication range, the wireless communication terminals 102a to 102e of the wireless communication system shown in FIG. 1 can detect each other's presence as follows.
The wireless communication terminal 102a detects the presence of the wireless communication terminals 102b, 102d, and 102e. The wireless communication terminal 102b detects the presence of the wireless communication terminals 102a, 102c, and 102d. The wireless communication terminal 102c is the wireless communication terminal 102a, 102b detects the presence of the wireless communication terminal 102d detects the presence of the wireless communication terminals 102a and 102e. The wireless communication terminal 102e detects the presence of the wireless communication terminals 102a, 102b, 102c, and 102d.

また、図２は、図１に示す無線通信システムにおける無線通信端末同士の存在の検知の関係の第１の例を示す図である。この図２の左欄には検知の主体、上欄には検知の客体が示されており、検知の主体が検知の客体の存在を検知できる場合には「○」、検知の主体が検知の客体の存在を検知できない場合には「×」が記載されている。   FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a first example of a relationship for detecting the presence of wireless communication terminals in the wireless communication system illustrated in FIG. 1. The left column of FIG. 2 shows the detection subject, and the upper column shows the detection object. If the detection subject can detect the presence of the detection object, “○”, the detection subject is the detection subject. When the presence of an object cannot be detected, “X” is described.

無線通信端末収容装置１０１が、図２に示すような無線通信端末１０２ａ〜１０２ｅの検知の関係を俯瞰的に把握できるようにするためには、例えば、図３に示すシーケンスチャートに従った処理を行えばよい。図３は、本発明の実施の形態における無線通信端末収容装置が無線通信端末間における存在の検知の関係を把握するためのシーケンスチャートである。図３では、説明を簡単にするため、無線通信端末収容装置１０１及び無線通信端末１０２ａの動作の流れが示されているが、他の無線通信端末１０２ｂ〜１０２ｅの動作は、無線通信端末１０２ａの動作と同一である。   In order for the wireless communication terminal accommodating apparatus 101 to be able to grasp the relationship of detection of the wireless communication terminals 102a to 102e as shown in FIG. 2 from a bird's-eye view, for example, processing according to the sequence chart shown in FIG. Just do it. FIG. 3 is a sequence chart for the wireless communication terminal accommodating apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention to grasp the relationship of detection of presence between wireless communication terminals. In FIG. 3, for ease of explanation, the flow of operations of the wireless communication terminal accommodating apparatus 101 and the wireless communication terminal 102a is shown, but the operations of the other wireless communication terminals 102b to 102e are the same as those of the wireless communication terminal 102a. The operation is the same.

無線通信端末１０２ａは、定期的に無線媒体上を監視し（ステップＳ３０１）、他の無線通信端末によって送信される管理情報などの他の無線通信端末の識別情報が含まれている情報を受信して（ステップＳ３０２）、この情報から他の無線通信端末の識別情報を抽出して、所定の情報格納手段に格納する（ステップＳ３０３）。これによって、無線通信端末１０２ａは、自端末の周囲に存在する検知可能な無線通信端末（図１に示されている状態の場合には、無線通信端末１０２ｂ、１０２ｄ、１０２ｅ）の識別情報を集めることが可能となる。なお、他の無線通信端末において、同様の処理を行えるよう、無線通信端末１０２ａも、自端末の識別情報を含む管理情報などを伝送媒体上に送信している。   The wireless communication terminal 102a periodically monitors the wireless medium (step S301) and receives information including identification information of other wireless communication terminals such as management information transmitted by the other wireless communication terminals. (Step S302), the identification information of the other wireless communication terminal is extracted from this information and stored in a predetermined information storage means (Step S303). As a result, the wireless communication terminal 102a collects identification information of the detectable wireless communication terminals (in the case shown in FIG. 1, the wireless communication terminals 102b, 102d, and 102e) existing around the terminal. It becomes possible. Note that the wireless communication terminal 102a also transmits management information including identification information of its own terminal on the transmission medium so that the same processing can be performed in other wireless communication terminals.

また、図示はしないが、所定の期間以上、特定の無線通信端末に係る識別情報が受信できなくなった場合には、所定の情報格納手段に格納しておいた特定の無線通信端末の識別情報を削除する。なお、この識別情報としては、任意の情報が使用可能であり、例えば、グローバルに一意に定められているＭＡＣＩＤや、無線通信端末収容装置によって設定されるコネクションＩＤなどを利用することが可能であり、その識別情報は無線通信端末の管理情報の他、無線端末収容装置や、他の無線通信端末とのデータ通信中の送信フレームから抽出することも可能である。   Although not shown, when the identification information relating to the specific wireless communication terminal cannot be received for a predetermined period or longer, the identification information of the specific wireless communication terminal stored in the predetermined information storage means is used. delete. As this identification information, arbitrary information can be used. For example, a globally unique MACID, a connection ID set by the wireless communication terminal accommodating device, or the like can be used. In addition to the management information of the wireless communication terminal, the identification information can be extracted from a transmission frame during data communication with the wireless terminal accommodating device or another wireless communication terminal.

そして、無線通信端末１０２ａは、ステップＳ３０１〜Ｓ３０３の処理によって存在が検知されたすべての他の無線通信端末の識別情報を、無線通信端末収容装置１０１に対して送信する（ステップＳ３０４）。無線通信端末１０２ａが、この無線通信端末の識別情報を無線通信端末収容装置１０１に送信するタイミングとしては、例えば、周期的に送信する、任意のタイミングで送信する、無線通信端末収容装置から要求されたときに送信する、新たに無線通信端末の存在が検知された場合又は特定の無線通信端末の存在が検知されなくなった場合に送信するなどが挙げられる。また、無線通信端末の識別情報の差分（更新された識別情報のみ）を送ることも可能である。   Then, the wireless communication terminal 102a transmits the identification information of all other wireless communication terminals whose presence has been detected by the processes of steps S301 to S303 to the wireless communication terminal accommodating apparatus 101 (step S304). The timing at which the wireless communication terminal 102a transmits the identification information of the wireless communication terminal to the wireless communication terminal accommodating apparatus 101 is requested from the wireless communication terminal accommodating apparatus that transmits periodically, for example, at an arbitrary timing. For example, when the presence of a new wireless communication terminal is detected or when the presence of a specific wireless communication terminal is no longer detected. It is also possible to send a difference in identification information of the wireless communication terminal (only updated identification information).

一方、無線通信端末収容装置１０１は、ステップＳ３０４で無線通信端末１０２ａから送られた識別情報を受信する（ステップＳ３０５）。また、同様にして、無線通信端末１０２ｂ、１０２ｃ、１０２ｄ、１０２ｅから送られてきた識別情報を受信し（ステップＳ３０６〜ステップＳ３０９）、ステップＳ３０５〜Ｓ３０９で受信した識別情報を基にして、図２に示すような各無線通信端末１０２ａ〜１０２ｅ同士の存在の検知の関係を示す情報を生成し、各無線通信端末１０２ａ〜１０２ｅ間の存在の検知の関係を把握する（ステップＳ３１０）。以上の処理によって、無線通信端末収容装置１０１は、図２に示すような無線通信端末１０２ａ〜１０２ｅの検知の関係を俯瞰的に把握できるようになる。なお、図２に示すテーブルは仮想的なものであり、無線通信端末収容装置１０１が実際に作成する必要はない。   On the other hand, the wireless communication terminal accommodating apparatus 101 receives the identification information transmitted from the wireless communication terminal 102a in step S304 (step S305). Similarly, the identification information transmitted from the wireless communication terminals 102b, 102c, 102d, and 102e is received (steps S306 to S309), and based on the identification information received in steps S305 to S309, FIG. The information which shows the relationship of detection of presence between each radio | wireless communication terminal 102a-102e as shown in this is produced | generated, and the relationship of detection of presence between each radio | wireless communication terminal 102a-102e is grasped | ascertained (step S310). With the above processing, the wireless communication terminal accommodating apparatus 101 can grasp the overall relationship of detection of the wireless communication terminals 102a to 102e as shown in FIG. Note that the table shown in FIG. 2 is virtual, and it is not necessary for the wireless communication terminal accommodating apparatus 101 to actually create the table.

また、図４は、図２に示す存在の検知の関係を模式的に示す図である。この図４では、図における無線通信システム内の無線通信端末１０２ａ〜１０２ｅ同士の関係が図示されている。また、一方の無線通信端末から他方の無線通信端末に信号が届く場合（一方の無線通信端末の通信範囲内に他方の無線通信端末が存在している場合）には、一方の無線通信端末から他方の無線通信端末に対して、矢印が付されている。この図４に示すように、例えば、すべての無線通信端末１０２ａ〜１０２ｅを通り、一筆書きが可能な経路（例えば、（１）→（３）→（５）→（４）→（２））を探索することによって、無線通信端末収容装置１０１は、すべての無線通信端末１０２ａ〜１０２ｅを経由する経路を発見することが可能となる。   FIG. 4 is a diagram schematically showing the relationship of presence detection shown in FIG. In FIG. 4, the relationship between the wireless communication terminals 102a to 102e in the wireless communication system in the figure is shown. In addition, when a signal arrives from one wireless communication terminal to the other wireless communication terminal (when the other wireless communication terminal exists within the communication range of one wireless communication terminal), from one wireless communication terminal An arrow is attached to the other wireless communication terminal. As shown in FIG. 4, for example, a route that can be drawn with one stroke through all the wireless communication terminals 102 a to 102 e (for example, (1) → (3) → (5) → (4) → (2)). By searching for the wireless communication terminal accommodating apparatus 101, it becomes possible to find a route passing through all the wireless communication terminals 102a to 102e.

また、無線通信端末収容装置１０１が、時間経過に伴って、無線通信端末１０２ａ〜１０２ｅから他の無線通信端末の存在の検知の変化に係る情報を受信する場合、無線通信端末収容装置１０１は、伝送媒体における通信環境の時間変化を把握したり、さらには、無線通信端末１０２ａ〜１０２ｅの移動を検出したりすることも可能である。   In addition, when the wireless communication terminal accommodating apparatus 101 receives information related to a change in detection of the presence of other wireless communication terminals from the wireless communication terminals 102a to 102e with time, the wireless communication terminal accommodating apparatus 101 It is also possible to grasp the time change of the communication environment in the transmission medium and further detect the movement of the wireless communication terminals 102a to 102e.

また、無線通信端末収容装置１０１及び無線通信端末１０２ａ〜１０２ｅによって構成される無線通信システムの周辺に他の無線通信端末収容装置や無線通信端末などが存在している場合には、ステップＳ３０５〜ステップＳ３０９で無線通信端末１０２ａ〜１０２ｅから受信する識別情報の中に、これらの周辺の無線通信端末収容装置や無線通信端末に係る識別情報が含まれる可能性がある。すなわち、無線通信端末収容装置１０１は、図３に示すシーケンスチャートの一連の処理によって、当該無線通信システム周辺に存在する無線通信端末の存在を把握でき、また、その無線通信端末が、当該無線通信システム内のどの無線通信端末１０２ａ〜１０２ｅと通信が可能であるかを把握することができる。   If another wireless communication terminal accommodating device or a wireless communication terminal exists around the wireless communication system constituted by the wireless communication terminal accommodating device 101 and the wireless communication terminals 102a to 102e, step S305 to step S305 are performed. The identification information received from the wireless communication terminals 102a to 102e in S309 may include identification information related to these peripheral wireless communication terminal accommodating apparatuses and wireless communication terminals. That is, the wireless communication terminal accommodating apparatus 101 can grasp the presence of a wireless communication terminal existing around the wireless communication system by a series of processing of the sequence chart shown in FIG. 3, and the wireless communication terminal It is possible to grasp which wireless communication terminals 102a to 102e in the system can communicate.

また、図５は、図１に示す無線通信システムにおける無線通信端末同士の存在の検知の関係の第２の例を示す図である。例えば、図１及び図２において、何らかの理由（例えば、通信環境の時間変化）によって、無線通信端末１０２ａから無線通信端末１０２ｂへの通信環境が悪化した場合には、無線通信端末１０２ｂから無線通信端末収容装置１０１に対して、無線通信端末１０２ａの存在が検知できなくなったことが通知されてくる。このとき、無線通信端末１０２ｂが無線通信端末１０２ａの存在を検知できなくなったとして、図２に示すテーブルにおいて、すぐに「×」（検知不可能）のとするのではなく、図２に示すテーブルの各セルを多値化して、例えば、図５に示すように、「？」（不明）としておき、所定の時間以上が経過しても存在が検知されない場合に初めて、「×」とすることも可能である。   FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a second example of the relationship of detecting the presence of wireless communication terminals in the wireless communication system shown in FIG. For example, in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, when the communication environment from the wireless communication terminal 102a to the wireless communication terminal 102b deteriorates for some reason (for example, time change of the communication environment), the wireless communication terminal 102b to the wireless communication terminal The accommodating apparatus 101 is notified that the presence of the wireless communication terminal 102a can no longer be detected. At this time, assuming that the wireless communication terminal 102b can no longer detect the presence of the wireless communication terminal 102a, the table shown in FIG. 2 is not immediately set to “x” (undetectable) in the table shown in FIG. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, “?” (Unknown) is set, and “x” is set for the first time when the existence is not detected even after a predetermined time has elapsed. Is also possible.

また、図３に示すシーケンスチャートでは、ステップＳ３０２〜Ｓ３０４において、無線通信端末１０１ａが、他の無線通信端末の識別情報を受信して抽出し、無線通信端末収容装置１０１に対して抽出した情報を送信しているが、このステップＳ３０２〜Ｓ３０４で扱う情報を拡張することによって、無線通信端末収容装置１０１は、収容している各無線通信端末１０２ａ〜１０２ｅから様々な情報を集めることが可能となる。   In the sequence chart shown in FIG. 3, in steps S <b> 302 to S <b> 304, the wireless communication terminal 101 a receives and extracts the identification information of other wireless communication terminals, and extracts the information extracted from the wireless communication terminal accommodating apparatus 101. Although being transmitted, by extending the information handled in steps S302 to S304, the wireless communication terminal accommodating apparatus 101 can collect various information from the accommodated wireless communication terminals 102a to 102e. .

例えば、無線通信端末１０２ａ〜１０２ｅは、他の無線通信端末から受信した管理情報などの信号レベル（信号の電力レベル）やエラーレートなどを検出し、その検出結果を無線通信端末収容装置１０１に対して送信することによって、無線通信端末収容装置１０１は、無線通信端末１０２ａ〜１０２ｅのそれぞれの間の通信環境を把握し、図２に示すテーブルの各セルの値を信号レベルやエラーレートなどによって多値化することが可能となる。   For example, the radio communication terminals 102a to 102e detect a signal level (signal power level) such as management information received from another radio communication terminal, an error rate, and the like, and send the detection result to the radio communication terminal accommodating apparatus 101. The wireless communication terminal accommodating apparatus 101 grasps the communication environment between the wireless communication terminals 102a to 102e, and the value of each cell in the table shown in FIG. It becomes possible to convert to a value.

なお、上記のように、各無線通信端末１０２ａ〜１０２ｅが、無線通信端末収容装置１０１に送信する情報として、上記の他の無線通信端末や無線通信端末収容装置から受信した信号に係る信号の電力レベルやエラーレート以外に、例えば、当該電力レベルやエラーレートの変動量、他の無線通信端末が存在する方向、方向の変動量、さらには、当該無線通信システムの無線通信端末収容装置１０１とは異なる無線通信端末収容装置を検知した場合には、その無線通信端末収容装置に関する情報などを利用することも可能である。   Note that, as described above, as information to be transmitted to each wireless communication terminal accommodating apparatus 101 by each wireless communication terminal 102a to 102e, power of a signal related to a signal received from the other wireless communication terminal or the wireless communication terminal accommodating apparatus. In addition to the level and the error rate, for example, the fluctuation amount of the power level and the error rate, the direction in which another wireless communication terminal exists, the fluctuation amount of the direction, and the wireless communication terminal accommodating apparatus 101 of the wireless communication system When a different wireless communication terminal accommodating device is detected, information on the wireless communication terminal accommodating device can be used.

また、上記では、無線通信端末１０２ａ〜１０２ｅから無線通信端末収容装置１０１に送信される情報が、他の無線通信端末１０２ａ〜１０２ｅや無線通信端末収容装置１０１との通信に係る情報の場合について言及しているが、無線通信端末１０２ａ〜１０２ｅ自身の通信能力に係る情報を、無線通信端末収容装置１０１に送信することも可能である。すなわち、各無線通信端末１０２ａ〜１０２ｅが、無線通信端末収容装置１０１に送信する情報として、無線通信端末の移動方向や移動速度、無線通信端末が有する通信インターフェイスの種別、無線通信端末のアンテナの指向性などを利用することも可能である。   Further, in the above, the case where the information transmitted from the wireless communication terminals 102a to 102e to the wireless communication terminal accommodating apparatus 101 is information related to communication with the other wireless communication terminals 102a to 102e or the wireless communication terminal accommodating apparatus 101 is mentioned. However, it is also possible to transmit information related to the communication capability of the wireless communication terminals 102 a to 102 e to the wireless communication terminal accommodating apparatus 101. That is, as information transmitted from each wireless communication terminal 102a to 102e to wireless communication terminal accommodating apparatus 101, the moving direction and moving speed of the wireless communication terminal, the type of communication interface possessed by the wireless communication terminal, and the antenna orientation of the wireless communication terminal It is also possible to use sex.

なお、このような他の無線通信端末１０２ａ〜１０２ｅ又は無線通信端末収容装置１０１との通信に係る情報や、無線通信端末１０２ａ〜１０２ｅ自身の通信能力に係る情報を無線通信端末１０２ａ〜１０２ｅから受信した場合、無線通信端末収容装置１０１は、これらの情報を、例えば、上述の図２に示すようなテーブルにまとめることによって、無線通信システムにおける通信状況や各無線通信端末１０２ａ〜１０２ｅの通信能力や移動の態様などを俯瞰的に把握することが可能となる。   In addition, information related to communication with such other wireless communication terminals 102a to 102e or the wireless communication terminal accommodating apparatus 101 and information related to the communication capability of the wireless communication terminals 102a to 102e are received from the wireless communication terminals 102a to 102e. In this case, the wireless communication terminal accommodating apparatus 101 collects these pieces of information in, for example, the table as shown in FIG. 2 described above, so that the communication status in the wireless communication system, the communication capability of each of the wireless communication terminals 102a to 102e, It becomes possible to grasp the mode of movement and the like from a bird's-eye view.

また、図６は、本発明の実施の形態における無線通信システムの構成の第２の例を示す模式図であり、図７は、図６に示す無線通信システムにおける無線通信端末同士の存在の検知の関係を示す図である。図６に示すような無線通信システムの場合、図３に示すシーケンスチャートの一連の処理によって、無線通信端末収容装置５０１は、無線通信端末５０２ａと無線通信端末５０２ｂとの間の通信が、無線通信端末５０２ｃと無線通信端末５０２ｄとの間の通信に影響を及ぼさないことを把握できる。したがって、この場合には、無線通信端末収容装置５０１は、無線通信端末５０２ａと無線通信端末５０２ｂとの間の直接の通信（サイドストリーム）と、無線通信端末５０２ｃと無線通信端末５０２ｄとの間の直接の通信（サイドストリーム）とを同時に行わせるような指示を、それぞれの組み合わせに対して通知することが可能である。   FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing a second example of the configuration of the wireless communication system according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 7 is a detection of the presence of wireless communication terminals in the wireless communication system shown in FIG. It is a figure which shows the relationship.

It can be understood that the communication between the terminal 502c and the wireless communication terminal 502d is not affected. Therefore, in this case, the wireless communication terminal accommodating apparatus 501 has a direct communication (side stream) between the wireless communication terminal 502a and the wireless communication terminal 502b, and between the wireless communication terminal 502c and the wireless communication terminal 502d.
