Abstract
Description
このような無線通信装置によれば、再送処理部は、受信装置からの応答メッセージを正常に受信していないと判定された場合、送信データの一部を再送データとして受信装置に送信する。
本発明の第9の側面は、本発明の第1の側面に係り、前記受信装置へのデータ送信に用いられる変調方式を決定する変調方式決定部(制御部112)と、前記再送処理部が前記送信データの一部を前記再送データとして送信する場合、前記変調方式決定部によって決定された前記変調方式に応じて、前記再送処理部が送信する前記再送データのサイズを決定するサイズ決定部(データサイズ決定部115)とをさらに備えることを要旨とする。
本発明の第11の側面は、符号化された送信データを受信装置に送信するステップと、前記受信装置が前記送信データの復号に成功したか否かを示す応答メッセージを前記受信装置から受信するステップと、前記受信するステップにおいて受信された前記応答メッセージが前記送信データの復号失敗を示す場合に、前記送信データに対応する再送データを前記受信装置に送信するステップとを備え、前記再送データは、前記受信装置において、前記送信データと合成される無線通信方法であって、前記送信データの送信後において、前記受信装置から前記応答メッセージを正常に受信したか否かを判定するステップを備え、前記再送データを送信するステップでは、前記判定するステップにおいて前記応答メッセージを正常に受信していないと判定された場合、前記送信データの一部を前記再送データとして送信することを要旨とする。
図1は、本実施形態に係る無線通信システム10の全体概略構成図である。図1に示すように、無線通信システム10は、無線基地局1、無線端末2、および無線端末3を含む。
したがって、このようなシステムにおいては再送が頻繁に行われる。
次に、無線基地局1の構成について説明する。図2は、無線基地局1の機能ブロック構成図である。
上述したように、無線基地局1の制御部112は、無線端末2からの応答メッセージを正常に受信していないと判定すると、図3(a)に示す初回送信データの一部を、図3(b)に示す再送データとして無線端末2に送信する。図3(b)に示す再送データのサイズSIZE1は、次のようにして決定される。
つまり、無線端末2において初回送信データの復号が成功したか否かが不明である場合において、復号失敗の可能性が高い場合には初回送信データの大部分を再送し、復号失敗の可能性が低い場合には初回送信データの少しの部分だけを再送する。なお、応答メッセージを正常に受信していない場合であっても、推定した誤り率Rが100%である場合に限り、再送データのサイズSIZE1は、初回送信データのサイズSIZE0と同一となる。
このように、再送データのサイズSIZE1と、無線端末3に送信する所定データのサイズSIZE2との和は、初回送信データのサイズSIZE0と等しくなる。つまり、無線端末2への再送データと、無線端末3への所定データとは、そのサイズの和が、初回送信データが送信された無線資源(送信スロット)と同じ大きさのリソースとなる無線資源(送信スロット)において送信される。
次に、図4および図5を用いて、データサイズ決定部115によって実行される誤り率Rの推定処理について説明する。
スケジューラ114は、無線端末2へのデータ送信に用いられる変調クラスと、無線端末3へのデータ送信に用いられる変調クラスとに応じて、データサイズ決定部115によって決定されたサイズSIZE1およびSIZE2のそれぞれを調整する。
次に、無線基地局1の動作について説明する。図7は、無線基地局1の動作を示すフローチャートである。
以上説明したように、制御部112は、無線端末2への初回送信データの送信後において、応答メッセージを正常に受信したか否かを判定し、応答メッセージを正常に受信していないと判定した場合、初回送信データの一部を再送データとして無線端末2に送信する。
上記のように、本発明は実施形態によって記載したが、この開示の一部をなす論述及び図面はこの発明を限定するものであると理解すべきではない。この開示から当業者には様々な代替実施形態、実施例及び運用技術が明らかとなる。
例えば、制御部112は、応答メッセージを正常に受信していない場合であっても、無線端末2へ送信する初回送信データが低遅延を要求されるリアルタイム系データ(例えば、音声データなど)である場合、送信データの全部を再送データとして送信してもよい。
なお、日本国特許出願第2008-141755号(2008年5月29日出願)の全内容が、参照により、本願明細書に組み込まれている。
