Definitions
- the present invention relates to a wireless communication system that performs communication using a directional beam.
- the present invention relates to a radio communication system having a function of specifying a combination of directional beams used when radio terminal stations accommodated in a common radio base station directly communicate with each other.
- the millimeter-wave band has the advantage of ensuring secrecy in combination with higher straightness and less influence of interference.
- inter-building communication Fig. 59
- ARIB STD-T69J a video transmission system for home televisions
- ARIB STD-T74 a video transmission system for home televisions
- the millimeter-wave band has a greater attenuation of power in space than the microwave band, so the communication area is limited, and the usage environment and applications are limited.
- the microwave band since it has a relatively narrow directivity pattern (also called a directional beam or antenna beam), it is necessary for a business operator or the like to install a wireless device with a directivity in advance.
- Patent Documents 1 and 2 disclose a technique for directing directional beams between terminals by controlling a directional antenna based on position information received by a communication partner.
- Patent Document 1 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-309508
- Patent Document 2 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-32062
- Non-Patent Document 1 IEEE802.l ln-Draftl.06, 7.2.2.1 A-MSDU, 7.4 A-MPDU
- Non-Patent Document 2 High Rate Ultra Wideband PHY and MAC Standard, (ECMA-368, 369)
- the wireless communication systems described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 are not intended for a multiple access scheme such as accommodating a plurality of wireless terminal stations, and are further assigned under the control of a wireless base station. It was not intended for wireless terminal stations to communicate with each other within a specified time period.
- the wireless communication system described in Patent Document 2 although there is a description regarding a control technology for a directional antenna used for communication using a millimeter wave band, the directional antenna is controlled. Therefore, since a control signal in an omnidirectional frequency band (a frequency band lower than the millimeter wave band) is used, the terminal needs to have a plurality of modulators / demodulators and control units. there were.
- the PHY frame format defined in the above ultra-high-speed wireless LAN is as shown in FIG. 60.
- the modulation method of the preamble part for synchronization and the subsequent PSDU part- It consists of a PLCP Header part that includes the coding rate and PSDU length, and a PSDU part that is the data part.
- tail bits and pads are added as necessary.
- the PS DU section is composed of a MAC header, an MSDU of the actual data part, and an FCS (Frame Check Sequence) that determines the correctness of the MPDU. Therefore, A—MSDU or A—M PDU is very easy to construct!
- PSDU is generally transmitted with a transmission method / encoding rate that is more efficient than PLCP Header, compared to PLCP Header, which can transmit a lot of information efficiently, BER ( Bit Error Rate) gets worse. Therefore, if the PLCP Header is received normally but an error occurs due to the MPDU power SFCS, the information inside the MAC header cannot be read! /.
- control information contained in the MAC header (for example, virtual carrier sense) is not only the frame body cannot be decoded, although the frame receiving side can detect the presence of the frame. Information, destination / source address, etc.) cannot be received, and the necessary information cannot be obtained. Also, due to the configuration of MPDU, when the MSDU length is long, such as when using A—MSDU, the MAC efficiency increases, but there is a problem when the robustness of the MAC Header decreases.
- the PHY frame format defined in the ultra-wideband radio system has a configuration including a MAC header inside the PLCP header. Therefore, the MAC header can be transmitted with a relatively robust transmission method / coding rate.
- the frame aggregation technology proposed in the ultra-wideband wireless system is Multiple MSDUs are bundled, and MAC Header and FCS are added to the bundled frames. For this reason, there is a problem that in a situation where the propagation path is bad, the frame length cannot be increased, or the number of frame retransmissions increases and the throughput does not increase.
- frame aggregation with other ACK frames and Command frames cannot be performed. Therefore, when bi-directional traffic is generated, there is a problem that an ACK frame for the received frame needs to be transmitted separately from the bundled data frame (Aggregated Data frame). It was.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above, and provides a wireless communication system that realizes direct communication between wireless terminal stations by realizing control of a directional antenna without requiring a special configuration.
- the purpose is to obtain.
- the present invention provides a wireless communication system including a wireless terminal station that performs communication using directional beams formed in a plurality of directions.
- the beam is transmitted in all directions that can be transmitted at the beam switching execution interval that has been notified to the radio base station in advance for the period specified by the radio base station that accommodates it.

Receive operation while switching directional beams within one CAP. As a result, the radio base station 0 can recognize the directional beam (number) used for communication with the radio terminal station 2 without performing device discovery using the DD packet. As an example, Fig. 57 shows the sequence when the connection request frame is received while switching the directional beam used in CAP for each superframe.
- the directional beam number used by radio base station 0 for each CAP is switched to b00, b01, b02,. For this reason, even if the connection request frame is transmitted using Superframe n or Superframe n + 1, the line terminal station 2 does not receive the connection request frame because the directional beam (number) selected by the radio base station 0 is different. However, in the next Superframe n + 2, the radio base station 0 selects the directional beam with the number b02 and receives the connection request frame from the radio terminal station 2. Then, the wireless terminal station 2 is notified of the successful reception of the connection request frame by the next Beacon transmission.

- the wireless terminal station 1 transmits a DD packet transmitted by the wireless terminal station 2 using an omnidirectional beam.
- the sequence for identifying the directional beam number (bl 3) used by the wireless terminal station 1 is shown, but the directional beam number used by the wireless terminal station 2 (b22 ) Has already been specified in the MCTA / CTA # 1 period, so that a DD packet is transmitted using a specified directional beam (a directional beam of number power 3 ⁇ 422) rather than an omnidirectional beam. It may be.
- a directional beam is used, the transmission speed is faster than when an omnidirectional beam is used. Therefore, an effect of shortening the time required for device discovery can be expected.
- the processing after the specific operation of the directional beam (number) is completed is the same as that in the first embodiment described above (see FIG. 15 and the like).
- the device discovery using an omnidirectional beam shown in this embodiment is suitable not only between wireless base stations and wireless terminal stations but also between wireless terminal stations. Can be used.
- a signal (broadcast signal, DD packet) for specifying the directional beam used for data communication or the like is transmitted by the non-directional beam. It was decided. This eliminates the need for the transmitting side of the broadcast signal or DD packet to switch while switching the directional beam, and simplifies the processing.
- the wireless communication system that is effective in the present invention is useful for wireless communication using a beam having directivity, and in particular, the directivity signal used for wireless communication using a millimeter wave band. Suitable for antenna (directional beam) control.
