Often not long periods. Further, in a system that switches between an equalization method and a RAKE method depending on the radio wave condition, the actual situation is that the ratio of selecting an equalization method is high in an actual use environment. In a period in which no packet data is received, the terminal decodes only the HSDPA control channel, so that the RAKE reception method can be sufficiently supported.

- FIG. 1 is an image diagram for explaining the outline of the HSDPA communication system according to the first embodiment.
- main physical radio channels used for HSDPA include HS-SCCH (High Speed-Shared Control Channel), HS-PDSCH (High Speed-Physical Downlink Shared Channel), and HS-DPCCH (High Speed-Dedicated Physical Control Channel).
- HS-SCCH and HS-PDSCH are both shared channels in the downlink direction (that is, the downlink that is the direction from the base station to the mobile station).
- the HS-SCCH is a control channel that transmits various parameters related to data transmitted on the HS-PDSCH.
- the HS-DPCCH is an individual control channel (dedicated control channel) in the uplink direction (that is, the direction from the mobile station to the base station).
- the HS-DPCCH is used by the mobile station to transmit an ACK signal or a NACK signal to the base station depending on whether there is an error in the data received on the HS-PDSCH. That is, the HS-DPCCH is a channel for transmitting a reception result of data transmitted via the HS-PDSCH.
- the processing time unit of the physical channel in HSDPA is TTI (Transmission Time Interval), and 1 TTI is 2 ms (milliseconds).
- TTI Transmission Time Interval
- 1 TTI is 2 ms (milliseconds).
- the decoding performance of HS-PDSCH greatly depends on the reception method.
- the influence of multipath is reduced by using an equalizer.
- the RAKE reception method can obtain better reception characteristics than the equalizer. Since these reception methods are known, further detailed description is omitted.
- FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram of the wireless communication terminal (mobile station) according to the present invention.
- the wireless communication terminal of the present invention includes a preprocessing unit 1, a selection control unit 2, a selection unit 3, a RAKE reception unit 4, an equalization reception unit 5, a decoding unit 6, A packet detector 7;
- These components are implemented in the wireless communication terminal as hardware, software, firmware, or a combination thereof, and can be appropriately configured by those skilled in the art in consideration of downsizing and maintainability of the wireless communication terminal. it can.
- the wireless communication terminal includes many other functions necessary as, for example, a mobile phone, but functions that are not directly related to the present invention and descriptions thereof are omitted in this specification. Also, the physical channel decoding and encoding processing required for HSDPA communication is omitted here.
- the pre-processing unit 1 receives the HSDPA reception signal and performs processing such as channel estimation. Based on the output of the preprocessing unit 1, the selection control unit 2 selects either the RAKE method or the equalization method as the reception method used when receiving the packet. When a packet is received and the wireless communication terminal is moving at a relatively low speed, the selection control unit 2 selects an equalization reception method to reduce the multipath effect. When the packet is received and the wireless communication terminal is moving at high speed or the interference power from other cells is large, the selection control unit 2 selects the RAKE reception method to obtain the highest communication quality. To.

- the selection unit 3 gives priority to selection based on the control signal when the control signal is output from the packet detection unit 7, and follows the control of the selection control unit 2 when the control signal is not output.
- the RAKE receiving unit 4 processes received data using the RAKE receiving method.
- the equalization receiving unit 5 processes received data using an equalization method. Since the equalization method requires enormous processing such as inverse matrix calculation, the power consumption of the apparatus is large. On the other hand, the RAKE method is easy to implement and consumes little power. These receiving units 4 and 5 despread the physical channel signals.
- the decoding unit 6 includes an HS-SCCH decoding unit 6a and an HS-PDSCH decoding unit 6b.
- the HS-SCCH decoding unit 6a receives the HS-SCCH input (I and Q components having an orthogonal relationship) and decodes the HS-SCCH signal.
- the HS-PDSCH decoding unit 6b decodes the HS-PDSCH signal and outputs it to necessary components (not shown).
- the output of the decoding unit 6 is also input to the packet detection unit 7.
- the packet detector 7 determines the presence / absence of packet data in the received signal according to a procedure described later. When it is determined that there is no packet data, the reception method is forcibly fixed to the RAKE method.
- FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the wireless communication terminal shown in FIG.
- initialization processing of each HSDPA processing unit is performed (step S2).
- the received signal is input to the preprocessing unit 1 and preprocessing such as channel estimation is performed (step S3).
- a reception method in this example, a RAKE method or an equalization method with which the selection control unit 2 can expect the best communication quality is selected according to the estimated communication path condition (step S4).
- the RAKE method is programmed according to a predetermined condition, for example, when moving at high speed or when interference power from other cells is large, and when not, an equalization method is selected. Thereafter, reception processing is performed with the selected reception method (step S5). Then, the signal after reception processing is input to the decoding unit 6.
- HS-SCCH decoding is first performed by the HS-SCCH decoding unit 6a and the decoding unit 6a (step S6). Based on the result, the packet detector 7 determines whether or not there is packet data (step S7). Details of this determination process will be described later. If it is determined that it is not a period in which packet data exists (step S8: Y), the packet detector 7 forcibly designates the RAKE reception method (step S9). Thereby, the selection unit 3 switches the reception method to the RAKE reception method, and power saving is achieved as compared with the case where reception is performed by the equalization method. Note that when there is no packet data, only HS-SCCH decoding is performed, so the RAKE reception method can be fully supported.
- step S4 normal reception method selection control at the time of packet reception is performed (to step S4).
- a reception method RAKE method or equalization method that provides the optimum throughput is selected according to the communication environment.
- the HS-PDSCH decoding unit 6a performs the HS-PDSCH decoding process (step S10) and outputs the decoded signal (step S11). Then, until the HSDPA communication is completed (step S12: N), the wireless communication terminal repeats the processes after step S3.
- FIG. 4 shows a detailed flow of the packet data presence / absence determination process in step S7.
- the wireless communication terminal When the wireless communication terminal is activated or communication is started, it is determined that the packet data exists until the TTI before the process is started (step S21) (step S22). : Y)
- the HS-SCCH decoding result of the current TTI (current TTI) is confirmed (step S23). If HS-SCCH decoding of the current TTI is successful (step S23: Y), it is determined that the current TTI is also a period in which packet data exists (to step S26).
- step S23 If HS-SCCH decoding of the current TTI is not successful (step S23: N), the number of times HS-SCCH decoding has failed (cumulative decoding failure number) N1 is incremented (step S24). Next, the counted value N1 is compared with a preset threshold value TH1 (for example, 30) (step S25). If N1 is smaller than the threshold value TH1, it is determined that the packet data exists (step S26). On the other hand, if N1 exceeds the threshold value TH1, the counter is reset (step S32), and it is determined that there is no packet data from the next TTI (step S30).
- a preset threshold value TH1 for example, 30
- step S22 If it is determined in step S22 that there is no packet data until the previous TTI (step S22: N), the result of HS-SCCH decoding of the current TTI is first confirmed (step S27). If HS-SCCH decoding of the current TTI is not successful, it is determined that there is no packet data even in the current TTI (to step S30). If the HS-SCCH decoding of the current TTI is successful, the number of times HS-SCCH decoding is successful (cumulative decoding success number) N2 is counted up (step S28). The counted value N2 is compared with a preset threshold value TH2 (for example, 3).
- a preset threshold value TH2 for example, 3
- the current TTI is also determined to be a period in which no packet data exists (step S30), and exceeds the threshold value TH2. If it is detected, the counter is reset (step S31), and it is determined that the packet data exists from the next TTI (step S26). After the determination in step S26 and step S30 is performed, the process proceeds to step S8 in FIG.
- a period in which no packet data exists continues, and then HS-SCCH decoding succeeds four times or more continuously.
- a period in which the cumulative decoding failure count N1 of HS-SCCH decoding is less than 30 is determined as a period in which packet data exists, and if N1 is 30 or more, it is determined as a start of a period in which no packet data exists.
- control is performed to switch the determination result of the presence / absence of packet data when the same determination result continues for the number of times equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold. Therefore, fluctuations that cause HS-SCCH decoding to fail / successfully switch for some reason are eliminated, and the timing at which the presence / absence of packet data on the transmission side is truly detected is accurately detected.
- the threshold is set to be relatively high when it is determined that there is no packet data, a situation in which the reception side ignores the packet data even though the packet data actually exists is appropriately avoided. And deterioration of communication quality can be avoided.
- the threshold value when it is determined that there is packet data is set to be relatively low, the timing at which packet data transmission is actually started can be detected early. Therefore, it is possible to perform selection control of an appropriate normal reception method, and it is possible to maintain high reception performance.
- a period during which no packet data is received is detected, and the reception method during the period is forcibly switched to a reception method with low power consumption, thereby suppressing unnecessary power consumption on the reception side.
- the reception performance is not degraded, and the reception performance is always maintained at a high level.
- the presence / absence of packet data is determined based on the HS-SCCH decoding result.
- the presence / absence of packet data can also be determined in communication systems other than HSDPA. That is, when the wireless communication terminal switches between the RAKE reception method and the adaptive equalizer reception method in accordance with the propagation environment, the reception method may be switched by determining the presence / absence of packet data based on the decoding information of the physical control channel. . Thereby, useless power consumption can be suppressed.
- a RAKE receiving system and an equivalent receiving system are assumed. However, it is not excluded to apply the present invention to a receiving system similar to or new to these systems that will be defined or developed in the future.

Description
図1は、第1の実施形態のHSDPA通信システムの概要を説明するためのイメージ図である。本図に示すように、HSDPAに用いられる主な物理無線チャネルには、HS-SCCH(High Speed-Shared Control Channel)、HS-PDSCH(High Speed-Physical Downlink Shared Channel)、およびHS-DPCCH(High Speed-Dedicated Physical Control Channel)がある。HS-SCCHとHS-PDSCHは、双方とも下り方向(すなわち、基地局から移動局への方向であるダウンリンク)の共通チャネル(Shared channel)である。HS-SCCHは、HS-PDSCHにて送信されるデータに関する各種パラメータを送信する制御チャネルである。
なお、パケットデータがないと判断される場合の閾値が比較的高く設定されると、実際にパケットデータが存在するにもかかわらず、受信側でこれを無視してしまうといった事態を適切に回避することができ、通信品質の劣化を避けることができる。逆に、パケットデータがあると判断される場合の閾値が比較的低く設定されると、実際にパケットデータの送信が開始されたタイミングを早期に検出することができる。そのため、適切な通常の受信方式の選択制御を行うことができ、受信性能を高く維持することができる。
また、上記実施例では、RAKE受信方式と等価受信方式が想定される。しし、今後に規定あるいは開発される、これらの方式に類似または新規の受信方式へ本発明を適用することを排除するものではない。特に、受信方式は3種類以上あって、無線信号の伝搬環境やパケットの有無によっていずれか1つの方式を選択するような構成でもよい。さらに、上記実施例では、閾値TH1=30、TH2=3としているが、これらの閾値はSIRなど実際の通信状況や無線通信端末の受信精度等の実施環境に応じて適宜定めることができる。好適な実施例では、TH1は1乃至10、TH2は10乃至50のTTIに設定してもよい。
本発明の第2の実施形態の受信装置について説明される。図11は、本発明の第2の実施形態の受信装置の構成を示すブロック図である。本実施形態の受信装置100は、第1の受信部101、第2の受信部102、データ検出部103、受信部選択部104、および処理部105を具える。
入力信号中のパケットの有無の検出は、受信部を用いて行われてもよい。図14は、本発明の第3の実施形態の受信装置の構成を示すブロック図である。
本実施形態の受信装置130は、第1の受信部101、第2の受信部102、および選択部104を備える。第1の受信部101と、第2の受信部102は、第2の実施形態と同様に、受信動作に関して異なる特性を備える。
このように、第3の実施形態の受信装置は、入力信号中の受信すべきデータの有無に基づいて、第1の受信部または第2の受信部を選択する。従って、入力信号中の受信すべきデータの有無に応じて、より適切な特性を備える受信部を選択することができるという効果がある。
