(4)各コンポーネントキャリアの位相回転量を0度、180度の2種類のみに限定し、図11に示すように、各コンポーネントキャリアの端からm個の参照信号のレプリカ(物理セルIDに一意に対応する移動局装置で生成した参照信号)と実際の受信信号を用いて、当該箇所の位相回転量を求め、隣接するコンポーネントキャリアの位相回転量の差を比較することにより、隣接するコンポーネントキャリアの位相回転量の差が0度か180度かを推定する。
次に、本発明の第2の実施形態に係るA-EUTRAの基地局装置について、図面を参照しながら説明する。図2Aは、第2の実施形態に係る基地局装置の概略構成を示すブロック図である。この基地局装置200は、第1の実施形態とは異なり、従来の基地局装置のコンポーネントキャリアごとの処理に位相回転部105-1~105-nを追加するのみとする。すなわち、本実施形態における基地局装置200は、符号部101-1~101-nでコンポーネントキャリアごとに送信データの符号を行なう。また、変調部102-1~102-nで符号化した信号の変調を行なう。また、SCH/RS生成部103-1~103-nで後述する制御部から通知される(コンポーネントキャリアすべてで共通の)物理セルIDと生成タイミングに基づいて同期チャネルと参照信号を生成する。多重部104-1~104-nは、変調部102-1~102-nで変調された信号と、SCH/RS生成部103-1~103-nで生成された同期チャネルや参照信号とを1OFDMシンボル単位で多重する。
次に、本発明の第3の実施形態に係るA-EUTRAの基地局装置について、図面を参照しながら説明する。EUTRAやA-EUTRAでは、通信システムの最適化を自動で行なう自己組織型ネットワーク(SON:Self Organized Network)と呼ばれる仕組みが提案されており、隣接セルの状況に応じて物理セルIDを設定・変更することなどが考えられている。コンポーネントキャリアごとにSONにより最適化を行なう際には、一部のコンポーネントキャリア間でのみ同一物理セルIDとなる場合などがある。そのため、本実施形態では、各コンポーネントキャリアの物理セルIDが自動的に決定される場合の基地局装置について説明する。
(1)CM値が既定の閾値を下回る。
(2)有限個の位相回転量の組み合わせのうち、もっともCM値が低くなる。
次に、本発明の第4の実施形態に係るA-EUTRAの基地局装置について、図面を参照しながら説明する。本実施形態では、物理セルIDに応じて、時間方向の位相回転量を制御する。物理セルIDに応じて時間方向の位相回転量を制御することにより、隣接する(異なる物理セルIDをもつ)セル間の信号が、時間により独立して位相回転し、干渉のランダマイズ化を図ることができる。図4は、本実施形態に係る基地局装置の概略構成を示すブロック図である。この基地局装置400は、従来の基地局装置の構成に、物理セルID/位相回転オフセット量対応テーブル401、物理セルID/位相回転量対応テーブル402、およびカウンタ403を追加した構成を採る。
次に、本発明の第5の実施形態に係るA-EUTRAの基地局装置について、説明する。第3の実施形態では、一部のコンポーネントキャリアの物理セルIDが異なる場合において、CMを再度計算して、位相回転量を求めた。本実施形態では、CMを計算することなく、以下の何れかの処理とすることを予め規定する。
次に、本発明の第6の実施形態に係るA-EUTRAの基地局装置について説明する。前記第2の実施形態では、位相回転量を90度単位とすることでPAPR(CM)特性を維持しつつ回路規模の簡略化を図った。本実施形態では、束ねるコンポーネントキャリア数に応じて位相回転量の単位を変更することで回路規模の増大を抑えつつ効果的にPAPR(CM)特性を得る手法を説明する。
