300 移動局
本発明の第1の実施形態では、基地局から同一セル内の移動局(UE)に対して共通に報知される変調方式および符号化率(MCS:Modulation and Coding Scheme)を移動局が読み替えることによってデータ通信時に用いるアクセス方式を認識してアクセス方式を切り替えることを特徴とする。
第1の実施形態における実施例について以下で説明する。本実施例で用いるMCSテーブルは、アクセス方式候補が異なる場合では同一のMCSインデックスを使用しないため、移動局はMCSによってアクセス方式を認識できることになる。実施例1では、アクセス方式候補間でMCSのインデックス数が固定であり、アクセス方式候補間で共通のアクセス方式かつ共通のMCSについては同一のMCSインデックスとMCSの対応付けを、異なるアクセス方式間では異なるMCSインデックスとMCSの対応付けを行う。
第1の実施形態における実施例2について以下で説明する。実施例2で用いるMCSテーブルは、実施例1と同様に、アクセス方式の候補が異なる場合では同じMCSインデックスを使用しないため、移動局はMCSの制御情報によってアクセス方式を認識できることになる。実施例2では、アクセス方式候補間でMCSのインデックス数が一定でなく,アクセス方式候補間で共通のアクセス方式かつ共通のMCSについては同一のMCSインデックスとMCSの対応付けを,異なるアクセス方式間では異なるMCSインデックスを用いる。
第2の実施形態では、基地局がそれぞれのアクセス方式に割り当てるリソースブロックの位置を予め設定し、移動局は割り当てられたリソースブロックの位置からアクセス方式を判断する。なお、基地局のスケジューラ203は、それぞれの移動局のアクセス方式を考慮した上でリソースブロックを割り当てる。
第2の実施形態における実施例3で用いるMCSテーブルついて以下で説明する。実施例3で用いるMCSテーブルは、移動局が認識したアクセス方式ごとに異なるMCSテーブルを用いる。OFDMで通信する場合には、図12に示されるMCSテーブルを使用し、SC-FDMAで通信する場合には図7に示されるMCSテーブルを使用する。図12に示されるMCSテーブルは、0から16の32段階(4ビット)のMCSを用いるもとの仮定している。
第2の実施形態では、基地局がそれぞれのアクセス方式に割り当てる周波数軸上におけるリソースブロックの位置を予め設定していた。第3の実施形態では、基地局がそれぞれのアクセス方式に割り当てる時間軸上におけるリソースブロックの位置を予め設定し、移動局は割り当てられたリソースブロックの位置からアクセス方式を判断する。なお、基地局のスケジューラは、それぞれの移動局のアクセス方式を考慮した上でリソースブロックを割り当てる。
本発明の第4の実施の形態は、LTEにもLTE-Aにも対応できるMCSテーブルを1つ、LTE-A基地局及びLTE-A移動局に保持させ、MCSの制御信号によって、アクセス方式を切り替える場合について説明する。
第4の実施形態における実施例5について以下で説明する。LTEで使用されているMCSテーブルが図7に示すような0-15の16段階(4ビット)であるとする。実施例5で用いるMCSテーブルは、図8に示すように、0-15はLTEで使用されているMCSテーブル(図7)と同じであり、16-31(5ビット)のインデックス部分が追加されている。
本発明の第5の実施の形態は、移動局が基地局とのデータ通信で用いるアクセス方式を決定する場合について説明する。
