Description
1220606 玖、發明說明 (發明說明應敘明:發明所屬之技術領域、先前技術、內容、實施方式及圖式簡單說明) 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明係有關於一種應用於無線通訊系統(wireless eommumcation system)之功率控制裝置及其方法,特別是有 關於一種控制各個訊號發送端之發射功率使得各個接收訊 號品質達到預設的冀望位準之裝置及其方法。 【先前技術】 所明細胞式無線電話系統(Ceiiuar telephone system)或 個人通 式糸統(Personal communication system ; PCS),係 泛指一定數夏之行動台(Mobile station)透過基地台(B ase station)進行訊號傳輸。於細胞式無線電話系統中則有許多 仍待解決之課題’而功率控制(Power control ; PC)則為其中 細胞式無線電話系統之功率控制機制(Power control scheme)具有三個目的。 一、 解決遠近問題(Near-far problem),該遠近問題一般 係藉由開路(open-loop)式、或稱外迴路式(outer-loop)功率 控制機制來處理。 二、 克服短程衰耗(Short-term fading) '多路徑衰耗 (Multi-path fading)的影響,以降低接收訊號功率或訊擾比 6 1220606 (signal to interference ration;SIR)的波動情形,得到較平穩 的訊號接收品質。該短程衰耗效應係藉由閉路式 (closed-loop)、或稱内迴路式(imier-l〇0p)功率控制機制來補 償。 三、節省傳輸功率(Transmission power saving),使電池 有較長的使用時間,達到省電的目的,這部份與功率控制 機制中的接收功率臨界值(received power threshold)、或接 收訊擾比的臨界值(received SIR threshold)參數有關。一 般’臨界值要是調得越高,將造成發送端耗電量的上昇。 當一行動台移動的過程中,受到傳輸通道特性的影響, 傳輸訊號會經歷多路徑衰耗(Multi-path fading)因素的影 響。見於美國專利號碼第5,056,109號,其標題為”於分碼 多工接取行動細胞式電話系統之傳輸功率控制裝置及其方 法"(METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLING TRANSMISSION POWER IN A CDMA MOBILE CELLUAR TELEPHONE SYSTEM),揭示一藉控制行動台傳輸功率以 克服多路徑衰耗的方法。如果行動台傳輸過量訊號時,則 其他行動台會被該行動台所傳輸之過量訊號所干擾。然 而,如果行動台所傳輸之訊號過於薄弱,則基地台將無法 有效接收自行動台所傳輸來之傳輸訊號。如前述美國專利 案,基地台係藉測量接收訊號功率後,透過一獨立通道 (Separate channel)將功率控制指令傳輸至行動台。當行動 台接收到傳輸功率指令後,行動台依所接收之傳輸功率指 令來調升或調降傳輸功率,以使得在接收端的平均接收功 7 率值能維持在預設的臨界值附近。這樣的功率調整動作必 須週期性地進行’如此,才能因應各個行動台移動所造成 的每境變動情形下,各個通訊鏈結在基地台處的平均接收 訊號準位都能達到冀望的臨界值。 閉路式功率控制機制依做法的不同可分為強度型功率 控制機制(Strength-based power contol scheme)和 SIR 型功 率控制機制(SIR-based power control scheme)。其中,該 強度型之閉路式功率控制機制可見於美國專利案第 5,257,283號,其標題為”展頻發送器之功率控制方法及其 系統"(SPREAD SPECTRUM TRANSMITTER POWER CONTROL METHOD AND SYSTEM)及美國專利案第 5,267,262,號,其標題為”發送器功率控制系 統’’(TRANSMITTER POWER CONTROL SYSTEM)。然而, 該些美國專利案中,其功率控制機制中的接收功率的臨界 值為一預設之定值,並無涉及該如何調整所要接收功率臨 界值準位(desired received power threshold),藉以達到冀望 之通訊訊號品質的課題。1220606 发明 Description of the invention (The description of the invention should state: the technical field, prior art, content, embodiments, and drawings of the invention are briefly explained.) [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to a wireless communication system ( The invention relates to a power control device and method for wireless eommumcation system, and more particularly, to a device and method for controlling the transmission power of each signal transmitting end so that the quality of each received signal reaches a preset desired level. [Prior technology] The known cellular radio telephone system (Ceiiuar telephone system) or personal communication system (Personal Communication System; PCS) refers to a certain number of summer mobile stations (Mobile stations) through the base station (B ase station ) For signal transmission. In the cellular radiotelephone system, there are still many unresolved issues', and power control (PC) is one of the power control schemes of the cellular radiotelephone system with three purposes. 1. Solve the near-far problem. The near-far problem is generally handled by an open-loop or outer-loop power control mechanism. 2. Overcome the effects of Short-term fading 'Multi-path fading' to reduce the fluctuation of the received signal power or signal to interference ratio 6 1220606 (Signal to interference ration; SIR), and get Smoother signal reception quality. The short-range attenuation effect is compensated by a closed-loop, or internal-loop (imier-100p) power control mechanism. 3. Transmission power saving, so that the battery has a longer use time and achieves the purpose of saving power. This part is related to the received power threshold in the power control mechanism or the received signal-to-interference ratio. The critical SIR threshold parameter is related. Generally, if the threshold is adjusted higher, the power consumption of the transmitting end will increase. When a mobile station moves, affected by the characteristics of the transmission channel, the transmission signal will experience the effect of multi-path fading. See U.S. Patent No. 5,056,109, the title of which is "Transmission power control device and method for mobile cellular telephone system with multi-code multiplex access" (METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLING TRANSMISSION POWER IN A CDMA MOBILE CELLUAR TELEPHONE SYSTEM), reveals a method for controlling the transmission power of a mobile station to overcome multipath fading. If a mobile station transmits excessive signals, other mobile stations will be interfered by the excessive signals transmitted by the mobile station. However, if the mobile station transmits excessive signals, If the signal is too weak, the base station will not be able to effectively receive the transmission signal transmitted from the mobile station. As in the aforementioned US patent case, the base station transmits the power control command through a separate channel after measuring the power of the received signal. To the mobile station. After the mobile station receives the transmission power command, the mobile station adjusts the transmission power to increase or decrease according to the received transmission power command, so that the average reception power value at the receiving end can be maintained at a preset threshold. Near the value. Such power adjustment actions must be performed periodically 'such as In order to respond to the changes in each environment caused by the movement of each mobile station, the average reception signal level of each communication link at the base station can reach the desired threshold. The closed-circuit power control mechanism can be divided into different methods Strength-based power contol scheme and SIR-based power control scheme. Among them, the closed-loop power control mechanism of this type can be found in US Patent No. 5,257,283, the title of which is "SPREAD SPECTRUM TRANSMITTER POWER CONTROL METHOD AND SYSTEM" and US Patent No. 5,267,262, and its title is "TRANSMITTER POWER CONTROL SYSTEM" However, in these US patents, the threshold value of the received power in the power control mechanism is a preset fixed value, and it does not involve how to adjust the desired received power threshold. To achieve the desired quality of the communication signal.
另,見於美國專利案第5,216,692號,其標題為”調整 功率控制之臨界值位準之方法及其裝置(METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ADJUSTING A POWER CONTROL THRESHOLD IN A COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS)”及美國 專利案第5,396,516號,其標題為”發送器功率控制系統中 動態調整控制參數之方法及其系統’’(METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR THE DYNAMIC MODIFICATION OF 1220606 CONTROL PARAMETERS IN A TRANSMITTER POWER CONTROLSYSTEMS)”。其中,該美國專利案所必需克服 的最大問題,係為其接收功率臨界值位準的調整為一步進 式(step-wise)的方法。然而應用步進式的方法調整接收功 率&S界值位準的缺點在於步階值(step size)的設定問題,當 步階值設得太大,雖有調整快速的好處,但達不到精細調 整的效果。而當步階值設得太小時,雖理論上可達到較好 的精細調整效果,但較無法兼顧調整快速的要求。 此外,訊擾比(SIR)值是被廣泛使用作為反應訊號品質 的指標值。相較於強度型功率控制專注的是接收功率,SIR 型功率控制所專注的是更能直接反應訊號品質的接收訊擾 比值,因此SIR型功率控制被認為是一更直接的控制機 制,且其系統效能被發現優於單純之強度型功率控制訊擾 比公式係為設計SIR型功率控制機制之重要理論基礎。有 趣的是,目前於習知技術中有許多不同形式之訊擾比公 式。舉例來說,於 IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications 期刊,Vol. 1,No· 1,ρρ· 46-55, Jan· 2002, 其名稱為 ”Optimal power control in interference-limited fading wireless channels with outage-probability specifications,’’ S· Kandukuri and S.

Among them, the biggest problem that the US patent case must overcome is a step-wise method for adjusting the threshold level of its received power. However, the disadvantage of applying the stepwise method to adjust the received power & S threshold value lies in the setting of the step size. When the step value is set too large, although it has the advantage of rapid adjustment, it does not reach. To fine-tune the effect. When the step value is set too small, although theoretically a better fine adjustment effect can be achieved, it is less able to take into account the requirements for fast adjustment. In addition, the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) value is widely used as an indicator of signal quality. Compared with the intensity-type power control, which focuses on the received power, the SIR-type power control focuses on the received signal-to-interference ratio, which directly reflects the signal quality. Therefore, the SIR-type power control is considered as a more direct control mechanism, and its The system performance is found to be superior to the simple power-to-interference-to-interference ratio formula, which is an important theoretical basis for designing SIR-type power control mechanisms. Interestingly, there are many different forms of interference-to-interference ratio formulas in the prior art. For example, in the IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications journal, Vol. 1, No. 1, ρ · 46-55, Jan · 2002, its name is "Optimal power control in interference-limited fading wireless channels with outage-probability specifications, ”Kandukuri and S. Boyd. According to the formula of the interference ratio in this document, the calculation of the ratio of the interference ratio needs to estimate the individual interference signal power. However, in practice, only the overall interference can be measured. The signal power value cannot be used to measure the power of individual interference signals. 9! 22〇6〇6 So 'receive directly the reception quality required to achieve the desired job quality. The second & threshold level' without borrowing The step-by-step adjustment method is a two-pronged approach: the method of thinking. In addition, how to obtain the individual interference ratio value, and the k-value ratio of these signals-SIR type that can be measured and still can truly reflect the signal The power control mechanism is also another way of accessing. All the questions and calls in the above patents and literatures can be properly answered in the present invention and detailed as [Content of the invention] Another purpose of the present invention in the two types of response systems is to describe the power control capture and |-a kind of power control device and its connection calculation,-no stepping method is required after- And it can be level. _Received power critical value of power control occupational shots Another object of the present invention is to provide a method, the power control device and method thereof, and the method of making clothes on the square table, which means the power control. The device is used for parameters that can be measured by each base station itself. The required operating parameters are for achieving this purpose. The present invention provides a method for controlling a communication device. Set the transmission power of each mobile station to 1220606, in which the system is at least one base station and at least one mobile station. According to the first embodiment, the received power required for each received signal on the base station can reach the desired signal quality. The counterfeit level is calculated based on the overall average intercell interference power value and the desired interference ratio expected value of the received signal. Among them, the overall average external cell interference power value and the signal-to-interference ratio of each received signal are parameters that can be measured and obtained by the base station. In particular, when the number of mobile stations is increased or decreased within the jurisdiction of the base station, the reception The power threshold level can be adjusted in real time. For the communication between each mobile station and the base station, a power control command is used to measure the desired signal received from the mobile station through the transmission channel to the base station. The power is generated after comparing with the corresponding received power threshold. Then, the power control command is transmitted back to the mobile station to adjust the transmission power of the mobile station. In this way, the received power level of each mobile station at the base station is controlled to approach the corresponding received power threshold, and the overall average interference ratio of each mobile station at the base station can approach a corresponding, preset The desired value is thus achieved to ensure the quality of each receiving LuiL 5 Tiger. According to the second embodiment, the average received signal-to-interference ratio is estimated based on the measured average required signal power value and the overall average interference power value. This work can be performed by the base station itself. The threshold value of the received-to-interference-to-interference ratio is calculated from the preset received-to-interference-to-interference ratio. A power control command is generated by comparing the average received interference ratio with its threshold value of the touch ratio and then transmitting the control command to the mobile station to perform the operation. 5 weeks. In this way, the level of each received signal-to-interference ratio is controlled to approach 11 1220606, and the level of its signal-to-interference ratio is expected to ensure the quality of each received signal. In order to make the above and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the following describes the preferred embodiment of the present invention and the accompanying drawings in detail, as follows. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, preferred specific embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described and described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. ^ In the CDMA cellular communication system, due to the characteristics of CDMA itself, the size of its system capacity is strongly related to the interference situation between various communication links. The interference situation between each other is serious, which will damage the system capacity. Relatively, Anything that can reduce the transmission power required by mobile stations is equivalent to reducing the interference situation with each other, so that the effect of increasing system capacity can be achieved. According to a first embodiment of the present invention, a power control device and a method thereof are provided to dynamically control a transmission power level of a mobile station. Through the dynamic control of the transmission power of the mobile station, the effect of increasing the system capacity can be obtained. _ Please refer to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which is applied to the uplink power control of a communication system, so that the received power approaches its critical value, and the overall average interference ratio tends to Near its desired value, while ensuring the quality of the signal. The so-called "uplink" means that the transmission of the signal from the mobile station to the base station is called the uplink. A wireless cellular communication system includes a plurality of communication cells, and each cell is provided with a base station. Each base station has multiple wireless mobile stations in contact with it. The preferred embodiment of the present invention is mainly applied to a CDMA system. However, TDMA, FDMA and other communication systems are also applicable. The communication signal transmitted from the mobile station to the base station is, for example, a CDMA signal with a single band and a spreading bandwidth of '1.25M 1ζ. In order to obtain the advantages of multi-path transmission, the base station uses a RAKE receiver to process the received signals. Please refer to FIG. 1. The power control device includes an antenna 100, a TXRX duplexer 101, a RX RF module 102, a RAKE receiver 104, Ensemble average desired signal power estimator 106, ensemble average received signal power estimator 108, ensemble average intercell interference of external cell interference signals power estimator) 110, threshold calculator 112, average desired signal power ^ estimator 114, comparator 122, power control command generator (power control command generator 124, a signal generator 130, a modulator 132, and a TX RF module 136. In addition, as shown in FIG. 1, the power control device of the present invention β uses a single receiving antenna, but the power control device of the present invention is not limited to a case where it can only be applied to a single reception antenna. The signal received by the antenna 100 at the base station is an integrated signal 13 1220606 (aggregated signal). The integrated signal includes the mobile station signal in the cell, the mobile station signal and noise in other cells. The received signal is transmitted to the sending / receiving divider 101 and the receiving RF module 102 for frequency reduction and filtering. A pair of receivers 104 received and received the 'number' from the receiving RF module 102 and a PN code (Pseudo Noise code) from a PN sequence generator (not shown on the recording page). . The bar-shaped receiver 104, as is familiar with this technology, is used to perform a despreading process, and has the advantages of making full use of multipath. For each uplink, the spreading code # (spreading code) used at the transmitting end is the reverse spreading code (despreading code) required at the receiving end. For different uplinks, the system will assign different spreading codes. Under the elaborate design of the spreading code, the received signal at the base station is restored to the original bandwidth except for the required signal (using the PN code as the spreading code) after the anti-spreading process, including other signals, including The signals of other mobile stations in the cell, the signals of mobile stations in other cells, and noise are still in the state of spread spectrum. Φ The first embodiment of the present invention provides a power control method, which includes estimating the average power of a desired signal, the average average power of the desired signal (ensemble average desired signal power), and the total average power of the received signal (ensemble average received signal) power) 〇 Consumption · The receiver 104 outputs a comprehensive signal, including the desired signal of the target link, intracell interference signal from the other mobile stations in the same cell, The 14 1220606 intercell interference signal from the mobile stations in the other cells and noise signals in other cells.

The rake receiver 104 outputs signals to a received signal power estimator 105 and a desired signal power estimator 107 to estimate the received signal power pz, Mw, and the required signal power, respectively. w. The desired signal power estimator _ 107 outputs the estimated value and transmits it to the ensemble average desired signal power estimator 106 of the desired signal, thereby estimating the overall average required signal power. In addition, after the received signal power estimator 105 outputs the signal, it is transmitted to the ensemble average received signal power estimator 108 of the received signal, thereby estimating the overall average received signal power FZ, M. Observe that in a long-range time interval, the long-range time interval is defined as: a time interval in which the long-range attenuation (10ng_tenn fading) changes slowly to be regarded as a fixed value, and the short-range attenuation (sh. The average value of rt_term fading) is equal to the long-range attenuation value. Without loss of generality, the required and received signals are ergodic random processes. Therefore, the overall average signal power is equal to the average signal power on the time axis. There are many methods to estimate the average signal power on the time axis. One method of 16 1220606 is to take a period of time and then calculate the average power of the signal during this period. Another method of counting the average signal power on the time axis is the running average method. The continuous average equation is

元一次方程式系統即可得到各個通訊鏈結上的總體平均接 收功率冀望值{瓦〃,Μ=1,···,;ί}值。當於該細胞中有增加或 移除行動台時,{Α,μ}值可立即重新計算出來,因此可即時 性地根據當時情況而進行{Κ,Μ }值之調整。 藉由適當地選擇h的冀望值,即可確保訊號所需之品 質。依實務上需求的不同,訊號品質的指標可以是總體平 均訊擾比值或總體平均位元錯誤率(BER)值,其中總體平均 位元錯誤率定義為瞬間位元錯誤率的總體平均值。一般來 _ 說,L係為總體平均BER —丽一之函數。一旦得到冀望 之總體平均BER以及之關係曲線圖(relation curve) 後,即可據以求出冀望之h值。瓦灵-h之關係曲線圖可藉 “ 由實驗或理論分析求出。根據調變方式(modulation scheme) · 之BER-SIR曲線圖及公式(15)中的SIR的機率密度函數 (probability density function),即可輕易地推導出丽關 係曲線圖。所以,欲確保訊號所需之品質,即等同於適當 20 1220606 地選擇總體平均訊擾比^的冀望值。 最後將瓦▲乘上一因數αΜ即得到一臨界值,其中該因 數〇tM係對應臨界值對總體平均接收訊號功率之比值。以細 胞式行動電話系統為例,由於傳輸功率的調整步幅為一對 數值’因此總體平均接收訊號功率會略高於功率控制臨界 值,此時αΜ會略小於i的數。因數〇^系的數值可憑實驗 或理論分析計算(analytical calculation)而得。若為方便計,The first-order equation system can obtain the expected value of the overall average received power on each communication link {Watt, M = 1, ··· ;;}. When the mobile station is added or removed from the cell, the value of {Α, μ} can be recalculated immediately, so the value of {Κ, Μ} can be adjusted immediately according to the situation. By properly selecting the desired value of h, the desired quality of the signal can be ensured. According to different practical requirements, the signal quality indicator can be the overall average signal-to-interference ratio or the overall average bit error rate (BER) value, where the overall average bit error rate is defined as the overall average of the instantaneous bit error rate. Generally speaking, L is a function of the overall average BER-Li Yi. Once the overall average BER and the relationship curve of the hope are obtained, the h value of the hope can be obtained accordingly. The relationship graph of Walling-h can be obtained by "experimental or theoretical analysis. According to the modulation scheme, the BER-SIR graph and the probability density function of SIR in formula (15) ), You can easily derive a beautiful relationship curve graph. Therefore, to ensure the required quality of the signal, it is equivalent to selecting the desired value of the overall average interference ratio ^ at the appropriate 20 1220606. Finally multiply the tile ▲ by a factor αM That is, a critical value is obtained, where the factor 0 tM is the ratio of the corresponding critical value to the overall average received signal power. Taking a cellular mobile phone system as an example, because the adjustment step of the transmission power is a pair of values, the overall average reception The signal power will be slightly higher than the power control threshold. At this time, αM will be slightly smaller than the value of i. The value of the factor 0 ^ system can be obtained through experimental or theoretical calculation. If it is convenient,

A comparator 122 compares the threshold value output by the threshold calculator 112 with the average power of the desired signal and estimates the average required signal power level of the 114 output. A power control command generator 124 generates a power control command periodically after receiving the comparison result from the comparator 122, and then transmits the power control command to the corresponding mobile station. The power control instruction in the embodiment of the present invention is generally a unified bit instruction. Enumerate n == 1 21 1220606 as an example. ‘Power control} daily command is a power-up instruction and a poWer-down instruction. If the average required signal power is lower than the critical value, the power control indicator 124 generates a Power-up instruction. Conversely, if the average required signal power is higher than the critical value, the power control command generator 124: will generate a power-down command. In the signal generator 13, the power control command from the power control command generator 124 is integrated in a transmission frame, and then sent to the modulator 132. The modulator 132 outputs a transmission signal to the TX RF module 136 for frequency upconversion after modulating the transmission signal, that is, spread spectrum modulation, to obtain a radio frequency signal. The radio frequency number is finally transmitted via a transmitting / receiving duplexer (RX / TX duplex) 101 and an antenna 100. It is worth noting that the parameters required for the device and its method shown in Figure 1 of the first embodiment of the present invention can be measured and estimated at each base station without relying on the overall system level parameters. Please refer to Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a flow chart of the second embodiment of the present invention, which is to achieve the required signal level required by the chain by power control. In other words, it is said that the mobile station and the base station transmit via a transmission link. The communication device of Brother 2 includes: an antenna 100, a transmitting and receiving division device 101, a receiving radio frequency module 102, a rake receiver 104, a receiving signal power-estimator 105, and a required signal power Estimator 107, a total and volume average power estimator 106 of a desired signal, a total average power estimator 108 of a received signal, a total average interference power estimator 210, an average interference ratio estimator 220, a comparison Generator 222, a power control command generator 124, a signal generator 130, a modulator 132, and a transmitting RF module 136. It is worthwhile to note that the power control device of the present invention uses a single receiving antenna, but it is not necessarily limited to a single receiving antenna. In the second embodiment of the present invention, the antenna 100, the receiving radio frequency module 102, the rake receiver 104, the received signal power estimator 105, the desired signal power estimation module 107, and the overall average power of the desired signal The estimator 106, the overall average power estimator 108 of the received signal, and the average power estimator 114 of the desired signal are the same as those in the first embodiment, and therefore will not be described here. A total average interference power estimator 21 is used to estimate the total average power of the interference signal. In general, the desired signal Γμ has no statistical correlation with the interference signal I. Therefore, there are the following equations: ^ ΡΓΜ + 普, (20) where the value and value are the output values of the total average power estimator 108 of the received signal and the total average power estimator 106 of the desired signal, respectively. Therefore, once you get the value of ^^ and: ^^, you can get the overall average interference power.

(21) Consider observing in a long-range time interval. Here the so-called long-range time interval is antisense: within this time interval, the change of long-range attenuation (10ng_term fading) slowly reverses to It can be regarded as a fixed value, and the average value of short-term fading is equal to the long-term fading value. Both the desired signal and the received signal will be ergodic random processes, so we can know the overall average. δίΐ 7 Tiger power is equal to the average signal power on the time axis. There are many methods to estimate the average signal power on the time axis. One of 23 1220606 is to take a period of time and then calculate the average power of the signal during this period. Another method of counting the average signal power on the time axis is the running average method. Generally speaking, both the first and second embodiments of the present invention use this method to estimate the average signal power on the time axis. A desired signal average power estimator 114 is used to average the desired signal power during a power control period. For example, the average required signal power: can be obtained from equation (19). The average sfl interference meter 220 ′ estimates the average signal ratio of the signal according to the average required signal power value I and the overall average interference power watt value. More specifically, the average interference ratio r Μ value can be obtained by the following formula: ΓΜ =

特別庄思的疋’该平均訊擾比rM值公式的導出,係 從觀祭在該長程時間區間為推導的出發點。在此長程時間 區間内,長程衰耗(long-term fading)可視為一時間常數 (Time-constant)時;即為通道增益(channel gain)之區域平均 值(local mean)。而短程衰耗(short-term fading)為一遍歷式 隨機程序(ergodic random processes)。因此,整體的通道辦 益一為長程衰耗與短程衰耗的乘積一便成為一穩態隨機程 序(stationary random process)。 此外’假設在功率控制機制下,傳輸功率也可視為一 24 1220606 穩態隨機程序。如此,當觀察在此長程時間區間内,瞬間 接收訊擾比值就等於瞬間接收訊號功率值除以總體平均干 擾訊號功率值。而,平均訊擾比值便等於平均接收訊號功 率值除以總體平均干擾訊號功率值。 由於本發明的訊擾比值計异’係從觀察在該長程時間 區間為推導的理論基礎,因此本發明實施例中所揭露之訊 擾比計算方法並不同於其他習知技術。舉例來說,於IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications 期刊,Vol· 1,No· 1,pp. 46-55, Jan· 2002,其名稱為 ”Optimal power control in _ interference-limited fading wireless channels with outage-probability specifications," S.

Boyd。於該文獻中,訊擾比值係定義為所要訊號功率除 以個別干擾訊號功率總和之比值。其計算訊擾比值需要取 得個別干擾訊號功率之總和,然而實際上要取得個別干擾 訊號功率之總和並不容易。其原因為,當從訊號向量空間 (vector space)的觀點來討論’每一個別干擾亂號相對應一 _ 個向量。總體的干擾訊號即為各個向量之和向量’其總體 干擾訊號的功率即為該和向量的絕對值平方,是可以測量 的。然而於實務上從和向量是不可能反推得出内含的各個 · 子向量為何,因此不可能據以得出個別干擾訊號的功率 , 值,因此該訊擾比公式的分母部分只有分析上的意義’而 實務上並不可行。任何應用該訊擾比公式之功率控制裝置 均是不實際的。 相對地,本發明中的訊擾比公式的分母部分則是可測 25 1220606 里的士果干棱矾號在一長程時間區間内為一穩態、遍歷 式的隨機程序的上 ,Ab _ 的活或者,干擾訊號為一準穩悲 (Quasi s ti〇nary)p道機程序,但在一長程時間區間内可視為 -穩態、遍歷式的隨機程序的話。 : A式(22)中的訊擾比方程式可於任何通 系統中肖以估叶某_時間區間内之平均訊擾比值…旦 在長紅日守間區間内之所有接收訊號、所要訊號以及干擾 訊號均可視為-穩態隨機程序的話,而且該長程時間區間 長度比違些Μ幾程序之同調時長(c〇herent time)w更長。此籲 處,所明依隨機程序s⑴的同調時長界為一實數,使得對 於任何滿足|tKt2|<W的時間點^及t2,s(ti)與s(t2)在統計上 都有非常面的關聯性。考量在這樣的長程時間區間内所算 得到一時間軸上的平均值後,即做為其總體平均值。此外, 利用持續平均法也可以得到總體平均值。 一比較器222 ’藉以比較平均訊擾比值估計器22〇所 傳來之平均訊擾比值以及預設給該上鏈之總體平均訊擾比 _ 冀望值。功率控制指令產生器124,在比較器222進行比 較後之結果,定期地產生一功率控制指令並傳送至其對應 之行動台。本發明實施例中之功率控制指令一般係產生n_ -位元和令。舉n=l為例。功率控制指令係為p〇wer-up指令 , power-down指令。如果平均訊擾比值低於訊擾比冀望值, 則功率控制指令產生器124就會產生p〇wer-up指令。相反 地,如果平均訊擾比值高於訊擾比冀望值的話,則功率控 制指令產生器124產生power-down指令。在訊號產生器 26 1220606 130中’功率控制指令產生器124所傳來之功率控制指令 έ正&在傳輪碼框(transmission frame)中,然後送至調變 裔(modulator)132。於本發明第2實施例之訊號產生器 130、調變器132、發送射頻模組136以及送收分工器ι〇1 與第1實施例相同。值得注意的是,本發明第2實施例之 第2圖中所示之裝置及其方法皆所需之參數皆是各個基地 台處即可自行估异測得,無需依賴系統整體層級的參數。 凊參A?、弟3圖’第3圖係為一失效機率(outage probability)對每個細胞行動台數量之曲線圖模擬結果。失 · 效機率係定義為接收訊擾比位準低於一預設之訊擾比位準 之機率’而系統傳輸能力係定義為每一細胞中行動台之最 大值;約於1%之外部機率時。此模擬之無線系統,係以 37個蜂尚型細胞所組成。通道傳播指數(pr〇pagati〇n exponent)為 3.5。多路徑通道模式(multi_path channel m〇del) 之路徑數量為2。展頻增益為128。訊擾比冀望值為 6.67dB,此為BPSK調變方式中得到BER =: 1〇-3所需的訊⑩ 擾比值。Rayleigh 哀耗隨機程序(Rayieigh fading rand〇m processes)係藉由熱悉此技藝人士所皆知之jake模型(jake model)所產生。長程衰耗係根據頻道模型而隨機產生,而 · 行動台所在之位置為均勻分布於系統内。此外,第3圖之 · 曲線圖係根據下列預設值所產生:每一行動台之移動速率 為20 km/hr、功率控制步階值(p〇wer adaptati〇n伽卩士£) 為ldB、功率控制週期為2/3 ms及功率控制迴路延遲為一 個功率控制週期。 27 1220606In particular, the derivation of the formula of the rM value of the average interference ratio is based on the starting point of derivation in the long-range time interval. In this long-range time interval, long-term fading can be regarded as a time-constant; that is, the local mean of the channel gain. Short-term fading is an ergodic random processes. Therefore, the overall channel benefit—the product of long-range and short-range attenuation—becomes a stationary random process. In addition, assuming that under the power control mechanism, the transmission power can also be regarded as a 24 1220606 steady-state random program. In this way, when observed within this long-range time interval, the instantaneous received signal interference ratio is equal to the instantaneous received signal power value divided by the overall average interference signal power value. The average signal-to-interference ratio is equal to the average received signal power value divided by the overall average interference signal power value. Since the calculation of the interference-to-interference ratio of the present invention is a theoretical basis derived from observation in the long-range time interval, the calculation method of the interference-to-interference ratio disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention is different from other conventional technologies. For example, in the IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications journal, Vol. 1, No. 1, pp. 46-55, Jan. 2002, its name is "Optimal power control in _ interference-limited fading wireless channels with outage-probability specifications " S. Kandukuri and S. Boyd. In this document, the signal-to-interference ratio is defined as the ratio of the desired signal power divided by the sum of the individual interference signal powers. The calculation of the signal-to-interference ratio requires the sum of the individual interference signal powers, however In fact, it is not easy to obtain the sum of the power of individual interference signals. The reason is that when discussing from the point of view of signal vector space, 'Each individual interference disorder corresponds to a vector. The overall interference signal is Is the sum of the vectors. The power of the overall interference signal is the absolute square of the sum vector. It is measurable. However, it is impossible to infer from the sum vector to obtain the contained sub-vectors. , So it is not possible to derive the value of the power of individual interference signals, so the denominator part of the interference ratio formula is only The meaning of analysis' is not practical in practice. Any power control device that uses the formula of the interference ratio is not practical. In contrast, the denominator part of the formula of the interference ratio in the present invention is measurable 25 1220606 In a long-range time interval, the Taxogan Alum is a steady-state, ergodic random program. Ab_ is active or the interference signal is a quasi-stable process. , But in a long-range time interval, it can be regarded as a -steady-state, ergodic random program .: The equation of the interference ratio in Equation (22) can be used in any system to estimate the average value of the time interval Interference ratio ... All received signals, desired signals, and interference signals within the interval of the Changhong day can be regarded as a steady-state random program, and the length of the long-range time interval is longer than the coherence time of the procedures that violate these procedures. c〇herent time) w is longer. At this point, the coherence time bound according to the random program s⑴ is a real number, so that for any time point that satisfies | tKt2 | <W s (t2) has a statistically significant correlation. After an average value on a time axis is calculated in such a long-range time interval, it is taken as its overall average value. In addition, the continuous average method can also be used to obtain the overall average value. A comparator 222 ′ is used to compare the average disturbance. The average signal-to-interference ratio from the ratio estimator 22 and the overall average signal-to-interference ratio preset for the on-chain _ hope value. The power control command generator 124 periodically compares the results of the comparison with the comparator 222, and generates a power control command periodically and transmits it to its corresponding mobile station. The power control instruction in the embodiment of the present invention generally generates an n_-bit sum order. Take n = l as an example. The power control instruction is a power-up instruction and a power-down instruction. If the average interference-to-interference ratio is lower than the expected interference-to-interference ratio, the power control command generator 124 generates a power-up command. Conversely, if the average interference ratio value is higher than the expected interference ratio value, the power control instruction generator 124 generates a power-down instruction. In the signal generator 26 1220606 130, the power control instruction transmitted from the 'power control instruction generator 124 is rectified & in the transmission frame, and then sent to the modulator 132. In the second embodiment of the present invention, the signal generator 130, the modulator 132, the transmitting RF module 136, and the transmitting / receiving division unit ι01 are the same as the first embodiment. It is worth noting that the parameters required for the device and its method shown in Figure 2 of the second embodiment of the present invention are all parameters that can be estimated by each base station without relying on the parameters of the overall system level.凊 Refination A ?, Brother 3? The third figure is a simulation result of a failure probability versus the number of mobile stations per cell. The probability of failure is defined as the probability that the received signal-to-interference ratio level is lower than a preset signal-to-interference ratio level, and the system transmission capacity is defined as the maximum value of the mobile station in each cell; approximately 1% outside Chance. The simulated wireless system consists of 37 bee-like cells. The channel propagation index (pr0pagation exponent) is 3.5. In multi-path channel mode (multi_path channel mode), the number of paths is two. The spread-spectrum gain is 128. The expected value of the interference-to-interference ratio is 6.67dB, which is the required signal-to-interference ratio in the BPSK modulation method to obtain BER =: 1〇-3. Rayleigh fading random processes are generated by a jake model that is well known to those skilled in the art. Long-range attenuation is randomly generated according to the channel model, and the positions of the mobile stations are evenly distributed in the system. In addition, the graph in Figure 3 is generated according to the following preset values: the mobile speed of each mobile station is 20 km / hr, and the power control step value (p〇wer adaptati〇n £) is ldB The power control cycle is 2/3 ms and the power control loop delay is a power control cycle. 27 1220606
