- the anchor base station acquires information data of the cooperative mobile station from the coded bit LLR after the decoding in the upper layer (step S775).
- the information data of each mobile station acquired by the above-mentioned is transmitted to the mobile station of transmission destination of each information data in downlink.
- coded bit LLRs after decoding or coded bits may be used instead of the coded bit LLRs after demodulation transmitted between the respective base stations.
- the anchor base station reports timing error information together with resource allocation information (steps S763 and S764), but the present invention is not limited to this as long as notification is possible. For example, it may be notified along with the transmission of the detection result of the data signal (steps S769 and S770).
- FIG. 23 shows the case where the cooperative base station that receives at the timing when the data signal from the cooperative mobile station shown in FIG. 18 exceeds the GI length and the cooperative base station that receives at timing that does not exceed the GI length coexist. It can be applied to
- the anchor base station 200 in FIG. 2 includes the control unit 601 in FIG. Become. That is, using the transmission timing correction value of the cooperation base station transmitted through the upper layer and the transmission timing correction value calculated by the anchor base station itself, the control unit 601 provided in the anchor base station performs each cooperation base station Control information (timing error information) indicating whether the received data signal of the cooperative mobile station exceeds the GI length is input to the control signal generation unit 213.
- a base station to perform cooperative communication may be selected based on the timing shift of the cooperative mobile station with respect to each base station. For example, by applying the present invention, it is possible to select a base station whose characteristics can be improved, perform cooperative communication, and select not to perform cooperative communication with other base stations. Also, the transmission power of the coordinated mobile station may be controlled accordingly.
- the cooperative mobile station can transmit at different timings other than the method of transmitting the transmission timing measurement signal simultaneously to the anchor base station and the cooperative base station.
- the anchor base station notify the cooperative base station of the resource and format of the transmission timing measurement signal transmitted by the cooperative mobile station in advance.
- the resources and format of the transmission timing measurement signal may be different.
- the transmission timing measurement signal may be transmitted to each coordinated base station at the same time or at different timings.
- the cooperative mobile station can also be implemented by transmitting position information acquired from a GPS (Global Positioning System) or a reference signal for position measurement transmitted by each base station to the anchor base station.
- the cooperative mobile station can also be realized by measuring the difference in reception timing in the cooperative mobile station from the synchronization signal or the like transmitted from each base station and transmitting the information to the anchor base station.
- the GI length is exceeded.
- the cooperative base station requests the base station (including the anchor base station) not exceeding the GI length to decode the data signal of the cooperative mobile station, and the base station receives it using the decoding result transmitted by the request. It performs signal detection processing and demodulation processing of data signals.
- a cooperative base station exceeding the GI length is a coded bit LLR after decoding calculated by another cooperative base station exceeding the GI length, and the decoding calculated by signal detection using the decoding result of the other base station
- the demodulation processing of the data signal received by the own base station can also be performed using the modulation bit LLR.
- the cooperative mobile station exceeding the GI length can perform signal detection processing using the accurate decoding result of the data signal among the data signals transmitted to the base stations by the cooperative mobile station, the period of the FFT can be obtained.
- the influence of interference due to the collapse of the sex and interference between signals in the FFT section is small, and highly accurate detection is possible.
- inter-block interference is small, and highly accurate detection is possible.
- the transmission timing of the cooperative mobile station is set according to the reference timing of the anchor base station.
- the transmission timing of the cooperative mobile station may be set according to the reference timing of the cooperative mobile station shown in the second embodiment.
- the first to third embodiments will be described using SC-FDMA transmission, but the present invention is not limited to this.
- the present invention can also be applied to a transmission scheme that adds a Guard Interval (GI) such as OFDM, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), and Multi Carrier-Code Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA).
- GI Guard Interval
- OFDM Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access
- OFDMA Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access
- MC-CDMA Multi Carrier-Code Division Multiple Access
- the base station that performs signal detection only with the data signal received by the own station is the own station using the detection results of the data signals of the first base station and the other base stations.
- a base station that performs signal detection of the received data signal is a second base station. That is, in the first embodiment, the anchor base station (the base station 200 in the first embodiment) is the first base station, and the coordinated base station (the base station 300 in the first embodiment) is the second base station. In the second embodiment, the anchor base station (the base station 200 of the second embodiment) is the second base station, and the coordinated base station (the base station 300 of the second embodiment) is the first base station. In the third embodiment, the anchor base station (the base station 200 in the third embodiment) is the first base station, and the coordinated base station (the base stations 300 and 400 in the third embodiment) is the third. It corresponds to 2 base stations.
