The mobile communication system 201 includes a base station device 101 and mobile station devices 202 and 203. Base station apparatus 101 communicates with mobile station apparatuses 202 and 203 using the same frequency in the same time slot defined by TDMA, using the SDMA method and the TDMA method using an adaptive array. The base station apparatus 101 designates the same frequency for the mobile station apparatuses 202 and 203. The mobile station apparatuses 202 and 203 transmit a signal having a designated frequency to the base station apparatus 101.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a configuration of base station apparatus 101 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The base station apparatus 101 includes an antenna 102, an RF unit 103, a BB unit 104, a signal processing unit 105, a MODEM unit 106, an AGC unit 107, and a control unit 108.

  The RF unit 103 is composed of, for example, a semiconductor circuit, performs amplification processing, down-conversion processing, and the like on the signal input from the antenna 102 and outputs the signal to the BB unit 104. Here, the gain in the amplification process is controlled by the AGC unit 107. The RF unit 103 performs up-conversion processing, amplification processing, and the like on the signal output from the BB unit 104 and outputs the result to the antenna 102.

The BB unit 104 performs a process such as DA conversion on the signal input from the signal processing unit 105 and outputs the signal to the RF unit 103.

Processing such as AD conversion executed by the BB unit 104 is nonlinear processing. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of input / output characteristics of nonlinear processing. As shown in FIG. 3, the non-linear processing, the output power has an upper limit (P _S), the input power increases the output power approaches a value corresponding to this P _S begins to saturate, the output When the power reaches P _S, also the output power no longer varies increases more input power.

The signal processing unit 105 performs SDMA separation processing or the like on the signal input from the BB unit 104 and outputs the signal to the MODEM unit 106. The signal processing unit 105 performs SDMA multiplexing processing on the signal input from the MODEM unit 106 and outputs the signal to the BB unit 104.

  SDMA separation section 109 separates the multiplexed signal received by base station apparatus 101 into a signal from mobile station apparatus 202 and a signal from mobile station apparatus 203. SDMA multiplexing section 110 performs SDMA multiplexing processing on the signals output from MODEM section 106 to mobile station apparatuses 202 and 203, and generates a weighted signal for each antenna 102.

  The MODEM unit 106 includes, for example, a semiconductor circuit, performs demodulation processing on the signal input from the signal processing unit 105, generates a data series, and outputs the data series to a data I / F unit (not shown). The MODEM unit 106 performs modulation processing on the signal input from the data I / F unit and outputs the result to the signal processing unit 105.

  The AGC unit 107 is made of, for example, a semiconductor circuit, and controls the gain in the amplification processing performed in the RF unit 103 based on the multiplexed signal before the SDMA separation processing in the signal processing unit 105.

  The operation of the AGC unit 107 will be described in detail below. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of one frame of the multiplexed signal before the SDMA separation processing in the signal processing unit 105. The frame 401 has a ramp portion (R) of 2 symbols, a start symbol portion (SS) of 1 symbol, a preamble bit portion (PR) of 3 symbols, a unique word portion (UW) of 8 symbols, and a channel identifier of 2 symbols. (CI), a control bit part (SA) of 8 symbols, a payload part (Payload) of 80 symbols, and a CRC bit part (CRC) of 8 symbols in total 112 symbols. The AGC unit 107 measures the received power in a section of a total of 4 symbols of the start symbol part and the preamble bit part in the one frame. Based on the measured received power, the gain of amplification processing in the RF unit is controlled so that the output power to the BB unit is kept constant.

  The control unit 108 includes, for example, a CPU and a semiconductor circuit, and controls the operation of the entire base station apparatus 101. The control unit 108 includes an error rate measurement unit 111, a beat generation detection unit 112, and a transmission power change instruction unit 113.

  Error rate measuring section 111 measures the error rates of the data series received from mobile station apparatus 202 and the data series received from mobile station apparatus 203 that are output from MODEM section 106.

  The beat generation detection unit 112 generates a beat in the multiplexed signal received by the base station apparatus 101 when at least one of the error rates of the two data series measured by the error rate measurement unit 111 is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. Is detected. The beat generation detection unit 112 includes a received power fluctuation detection unit 114 and a beat determination unit 115.

  The beat generation detection unit 112 determines whether or not a beat of a predetermined level or more has occurred based on the fluctuation period and fluctuation width of the received power of the multiplexed signal. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a waveform of received power of a multiplexed signal in which beat is generated. In FIG. 5, the waveform shown by the solid line is the actual waveform. The reception power fluctuation detection unit 114 detects an envelope of this waveform indicated by a broken line. The beat determination unit 115 determines that a beat of a predetermined level or more has occurred when the fluctuation period T of the envelope is less than a predetermined value and the fluctuation width w is a predetermined value or more.

  Here, the predetermined value used for the determination of the fluctuation period T and the predetermined value used for the determination of the fluctuation width w are a boundary value between a value that causes a beat that affects communication and a value that does not occur. It is a value empirically obtained from actual signal measurement or the like.

  The transmission power change instructing unit 113 corresponds to at least one of the mobile station devices 202 and 203 corresponding to the start symbol part and the preamble bit part of the radio signal when the beat generation detecting unit 112 determines that the beat has occurred. A control signal for instructing a change in transmission power in a section to be generated is generated.

  The transmission power change instruction unit 113 measures the reception power of the two radio signals after SDMA separation in the signal processing unit 105. Then, the transmission power change instruction unit 113 compares the two received powers, selects one of the mobile station apparatuses 202 and 203 that has transmitted a radio signal having a lower received power, and selects the start symbol part and the preamble of the signal. A control signal for instructing a reduction in transmission power in the section corresponding to the bull bit part is generated.

  That is, the transmission power change instructing unit 113 starts the reception power of the radio signals from the two mobile station devices 202 and 203 for one of the mobile station devices 202 and 203 that transmits a radio signal having a lower reception power. A control signal is generated for instructing an increase in a difference in a section corresponding to the symbol part and the preamble bit part.

  By instructing a mobile station apparatus that has transmitted a radio signal with lower received power to reduce transmission power, it is more efficient than instructing a mobile station apparatus that has transmitted a radio signal with higher received power to increase transmission power. The difference in received power can be increased.

  The control signal generated by the transmission power change instructing unit 113 is, for example, a 1-bit signal. If “0”, the control signal is maintained, and if it is “1”, the transmission power is instructed to be reduced. The generated control signal is incorporated into a predetermined location of data transmitted to the mobile station apparatus selected by the transmission power change instruction unit 113 and transmitted to the mobile station apparatus.

  The antenna 602 receives the radio signal transmitted from the base station apparatus 101 and outputs it to the RF unit 603. The antenna 602 transmits the signal generated in the RF unit 603 as a radio wave.

  The RF unit 603 includes, for example, a semiconductor circuit, performs amplification processing, down-conversion processing, and the like on the signal input from the antenna 602 and outputs the signal to the BB unit 604. The RF unit 603 performs up-conversion processing and amplification processing on the signal input from the BB unit 604 and outputs the result to the antenna 602. When there is a power control instruction from the transmission power control unit 606, the transmission power is controlled by performing amplification in accordance with the instruction.

  The BB unit 604 is formed of, for example, a semiconductor circuit, performs synchronization processing, AD conversion, and the like on the signal input from the RF unit 603 and outputs the signal to the MODEM unit 605. The BB unit 604 performs a DA conversion process on the signal input from the MODEM unit 605 and outputs the signal to the RF unit 603.

  The MODEM unit 605 includes, for example, a semiconductor circuit, performs demodulation processing on the signal input from the BB unit 604, outputs a data series to a data I / F unit (not shown), and outputs audio data to a speaker (see FIG. (Not shown). Also, the MODEM unit 605 performs modulation processing on a signal input from a data I / F unit or a microphone (not shown) and outputs the result to the BB unit 604.

  The transmission power control unit 606 is composed of, for example, a semiconductor circuit, and controls the transmission power of the radio signal to the base station apparatus 101 based on the control signal transmitted from the base station apparatus 101.

  The transmission power control unit 606 includes a control signal extraction unit 607 and a transmission power control instruction unit 608. The control signal extraction unit 607 extracts the control signal generated by the transmission power change instruction unit 113 of the base station apparatus 101 from the radio signal from the base station apparatus 101 received by the mobile station apparatus 202. The transmission power control instruction unit 608 instructs the RF unit 603 to change the transmission power based on the content of the control signal extracted by the control signal extraction unit 607.

  When the control signal has the above-described 1-bit configuration, for example, the transmission power control unit 606 maintains the transmission power if the control signal is “0”, and sets the transmission power to a predetermined value if the control signal is “1”. Control is performed so as to reduce only the value.

  Based on the control of the transmission power control unit 606, the RF unit 603 reduces the transmission power in the section corresponding to the start symbol part and the preamble bit part of the radio signal.

  Next, operations related to beat suppression of the mobile communication system according to the present embodiment will be described using a flowchart.

  FIG. 7A is a main flowchart showing an outline of operations related to beat suppression of the mobile communication system according to the present embodiment. FIG. 7B is a flowchart showing in detail the beat determination process in the main flowchart shown in FIG. 7A. FIG. 7C is a flowchart showing in detail the beat suppression processing in the main flowchart shown in FIG. 7A.

  An outline of operations related to beat suppression of the mobile communication system according to the present embodiment will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG. 7A.

  When the base station apparatus 101 starts SDMA communication with the mobile station apparatuses 202 and 203, the base station apparatus 101 determines whether or not a beat has occurred in the multiplexed signal in which the signals from the mobile station apparatuses 202 and 203 received by the base station apparatus 101 overlap. (S701). The base station apparatus 101 refers to the result of the beat determination in S701 (S702), and performs a beat suppression process if a beat has occurred (S703). When the beat suppression process in S703 is completed, or when it is determined in S701 that no beat has occurred, the base station apparatus 101 confirms whether the SDMA communication with the mobile station apparatuses 202 and 203 is continued. (S704). If the SDMA communication is continued, the base station apparatus 101 executes the beat determination process of S701 again. If the SDMA communication is not continued, the base station apparatus 101 ends the SDMA communication as it is.

  Next, the beat determination processing in S701 will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG. 7B.

The base station apparatus 101 measures the error rates E ₁ and E ₂ of the data received from the mobile station apparatuses 202 and 203 (S711).

The base station apparatus 101 performs a comparison between the error rate _E 1, _{E 2} and the predetermined value _{E t} (S712), both smaller than _{E t,} determines that beat has not occurred (S715), the beat The determination process ends.

If at least one is _{equal to} or greater than Et, the base station apparatus 101 measures the variation in received power of the multiplexed signal received by the base station apparatus 101 (S713), and the variation period T is less than a predetermined value and varies. It is determined whether the width w is equal to or greater than a predetermined value (S714).

  If the fluctuation period T is less than the predetermined value and the fluctuation width w is greater than or equal to the predetermined value, the base station apparatus 101 determines that a beat has occurred (S716), and ends the beat determination process. Otherwise, it is determined that there is no beat (S715), and the beat determination process is terminated.

  Next, the beat suppression processing of S703 will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG. 7C.

  The base station apparatus 101 measures the received power of the two signals after the SDMA separation in the signal processing unit 105 (S721).

  Then, the transmission power change instruction unit 113 compares the two received powers, and selects one of the mobile station apparatuses 202 and 203 that has transmitted a signal having a lower received power (S722).

  The transmission power change instruction unit 113 generates a control signal for instructing the selected mobile station apparatus to reduce the transmission power in the section corresponding to the start symbol part and preamble bit part of the signal (S723). The station apparatus 101 transmits a control signal to the selected mobile station apparatus (S724), and the beat suppression process ends.

  As described above, when beat is detected in the multiplexed signal received by the base station apparatus 101, the difference in received power between the sections corresponding to the start symbol part and the preamble bit part of the signals received from the two mobile station apparatuses By increasing, beats in this section of the multiplexed signal can be suppressed.

  Further, by suppressing the beat of this section, the AGC unit 107 performs appropriate gain control.

  If these controls are not performed, the gain value may not be controlled correctly. For example, when the start symbol portion and the preamble bit portion of the multiplexed signal correspond to the minimum point of beat, the gain value is controlled to be larger than an appropriate value.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a relationship between an input waveform and an output waveform in nonlinear processing. 8 (a) is shows a case where the gain is set greater than the proper value, a part of the input waveform to gain is too large has exceeded the saturation power P _S. Part exceeds this case threshold P _S is will be converted to P _S, as a result, the error rate in the communication increases.

FIG. 8B shows a case where an appropriate gain is set by the configuration of the present embodiment. In this case, the input waveform does not exceed the saturation power P _S, suitably conversion is performed, the error rate is kept low.

  On the contrary, when the start symbol part and preamble bit part of the multiplexed signal correspond to the maximum point of beat, the gain value becomes smaller than an appropriate value and the error rate becomes higher. Even in such a case, according to the present embodiment, the gain is controlled to an appropriate value, and the error rate is kept low.

  The reception amplitude measurement unit 915 measures the amplitudes of the two signals after the SDMA separation in the signal processing unit 105.

  The beat determination unit 916 has a predetermined level based on the frequency difference and amplitude difference between the two signals obtained from the two frequencies measured by the reception frequency measurement unit 914 and the two amplitudes measured by the reception amplitude measurement unit 915. It is determined whether or not the above beat has occurred. The beat determination unit 916 determines that a beat has occurred when the difference between the two frequencies is within a predetermined range that does not include 0 and the difference between the two amplitudes is equal to or less than a predetermined value.

  Here, the predetermined range used for the determination of the frequency difference and the predetermined value used for the determination of the amplitude difference are a range and a value that cause a beat that affects communication, a range and a value that do not occur, and , And is a value empirically obtained from actual signal measurement or the like.

When at least one is _{equal to} or greater than Et, the base station apparatus 901 measures the frequencies F ₁ and F ₂ and the amplitudes A ₁ and A ₂ of the two signals after SDMA separation in the signal processing unit 105 (S1003). It is determined whether the difference | F ₁ −F ₂ | is within a predetermined range other than 0 and the amplitude difference | A ₁ −A ₂ | is equal to or smaller than a predetermined value (S1004).

If the frequency difference | F ₁ −F ₂ | is within a predetermined range and the amplitude difference | A ₁ −A ₂ | is less than or equal to a predetermined value, the base station apparatus 901 determines that a beat has occurred (S1006). The beat determination process ends. In other cases, it is determined that no beat has occurred (S1005), and the beat determination process ends.

  If it is determined that a beat has occurred, a beat suppression process is executed in the same manner as in the first embodiment.
