Abstract
Description
端末に対し個別に送信するユーザ個別のデータ(個別データ or ユーザ個別データ)は、論理リソース単位(LRU:Logical RU)を単位として、物理リソースPRUに割当てられる。ここでLRUは、PRUに含まれるパイロットシンボルを除いたデータシンボル数分のデータを含む。そして、LRUの構成データは、PRUにおけるデータシンボル配置部分へ所定の順番で割当てられる。また、ユーザ個別データには、1つのPRUを単位として(つまり、ミニバンド単位に)、又は、n(n≧2)個のPRUを単位として(つまり、サブバンド単位に)、リソースが割り当てられる。図5には、n=4のサブバンドを用いた場合のリソース集中配置の例が示されている。
ユーザ個別データは、論理リソース単位(LRU:Logical RU)を最小単位として、物理リソースPRUに割当てられる。複数のLRUの構成データは、サブキャリアインターリーバ(又はtone permutation)によって所定の規則で複数のPRUに分散的に配置される。なお、SFBC(Space-Frequency Block Coding)のような送信ダイバーシチ手法が適用される場合、2つのサブキャリア間での連続性を確保するために、2サブキャリアを1つの単位とした分散配置が行われる。すなわち、2サブキャリアベースのインターリーバ(又は2 tone based permutation)が行われる。この場合の分散配置の例が、図6に示されている。
[基地局100の構成]
図13は、本発明の実施の形態1に係る基地局100の要部構成を示すブロック図である。図13において、基地局100は、PA割当制御部101と、下り割当制御情報生成部102と、無線受信部103と、復調部104と、ACK/NACK/DTX判定部105と、再送制御部106と、初回送信・再送データ生成部107と、変調部108,109と、割当部110と、無線送信部111とを有する。
図15は、本発明の実施の形態1に係る端末200の要部構成を示すブロック図である。図15において、端末200は、無線受信部201と、MIMO受信処理部202と、制御情報復号部203と、PA終了判定部204と、データ復号部205と、誤り検出部206と、応答制御部207と、変調部208と、割当部209と、無線送信部210と、MU-MIMO再割当判定部211とを有する。
以上の構成を有する基地局100及び端末200の動作について説明する。図16は、基地局100及び端末200の動作説明に供する図である。なお、以下では2つの端末装置に対するMU-MIMO伝送を行う場合を用いて説明するが、これに限定されない。
基地局100は、MU-MIMO伝送を行う複数の端末200に対して、k番目のフレームで、「PA開始」指示を通知する。図16においては、2つの端末#1及び端末#2から成る端末グループに対しMU-MIMOを行う例が示されている。すなわち、基地局100は、端末#1宛てに「PA開始」指示を通知するPA開始#1、端末#2宛てに「PA開始」指示を通知するPA開始#2を送信する。
誤り検出部206は、受信に成功した下りデータについて誤り検出を行い、誤り検出結果を応答制御部207へ出力する。
応答制御部207は、下りデータの誤り検出結果を示す応答信号を生成する。さらに、応答制御部207は、下りデータの誤り検出結果を示す応答信号を割り当てるデータ応答リソースの情報を割当部209に出力する。例えば、応答制御部207は、「PA開始」時に下り割当制御情報に含まれるHF番号に対応したHFBCHの情報を、データ応答リソースの情報として、割当部209に出力する。
応答制御部207は、「PA終了」指示を通知する下り割当制御情報の受信に成功したことを示すACKを、応答信号として生成する。さらに、応答制御部207は、ACKを割り当てる制御応答リソースの情報を割当部209に出力する。
応答制御部207は、下り割当制御情報の受信成否及び下りデータの誤り検出結果と、応答信号ルールテーブルとに基づいて、応答信号を生成する。
再送制御部106は、PA割当制御部101からの決定結果と、ACK/NACK/DTX判定部105からの判定結果とに基づいて、端末200が「PA開始」の完了又は見逃し、「PA再割当」の完了又は見逃し、「MU-MIMO再割当」の完了又は見逃し、「PA終了」の完了又は見逃し、及び、下り送信データに対する正常受信又は受信失敗のいずれの状態であると認識しているか判定する。
ACK/NACK/DTX判定部105は、PA割当制御部101から通知されるデータ応答リソースの情報に基づいて、復調後の受信信号から、データ応答リソースで送信された応答信号を抽出し、抽出した応答信号がACK/NACK/DTXのいずれであるかを判定する。

図19においては、(k+m×N)番目のフレームで、端末#1に対してPA再割当#1が送信される一方、端末#2に対してはMU-MIMO再割当#2が送信されている。PA再割当#1によってPA#1が下りデータリソースとして端末#1に対して割り当てられることにより、端末#1は端末#2との、MU-MIMOにより(つまり、空間多重により)同じ下りリソースに割り当てられる端末グループから抜けることになる。このときの端末#2の状況は、図16に示す端末#1の通信が終了する場合と同じ状況である。従って、端末グループ内の任意の端末がPA再割当により端末グループから抜けるときに送信されるMU-MIMO再割当の受信フレームにおいても、端末200は、同じ受信応答ルールによって応答信号を送信することができる。
図20においては、(k+m×N)番目のフレームで、端末#1に対してPA終了#1が送信され、端末#2に対してはMU-MIMO再割当#2が送信され、端末#3に対してはPA開始#3が送信されている。まず、PA終了#1によって端末#1の通信が終了することにより、端末#1は端末#2との端末グループを抜けることになる。これと同時に、PA開始#3によって端末#3の通信が開始するとともに、端末#3が端末グループに加わる。
実施の形態1では、上述した3つのケースのそれぞれにおける応答信号として、ACK、NACK、DTXを対応させた。これに対して、実施の形態2では、3つのケースのそれぞれにおける応答信号に対して異なるシンボルを対応させる。すなわち、実施の形態2では、上記した第2のケースでは、応答信号はDTXではなく、応答信号として第3のケースのNACKと異なるシンボルによってNACK2が送信される。
図23は、実施の形態2に係る端末200Aの構成を示すブロック図である。図23において、端末200Aは、応答制御部207Aと、変調部208Aとを有する。
応答制御部207Aは、「PA終了」指示を通知する下り割当制御情報の受信に成功したことを示すACKを、応答信号として生成する。さらに、応答制御部207Aは、ACKを割り当てる制御応答リソースの情報を割当部209に出力する。
応答制御部207Aは、下り割当制御情報の受信成否及び下りデータの誤り検出結果と、応答信号ルールテーブルとに基づいて、応答信号を生成する。
図26は、実施の形態2に係る基地局100Aの構成を示すブロック図である。図26において、基地局100Aは、ACK/NACK/NACK2/DTX判定部115を有する。
ACK/NACK/NACK2/DTX判定部115は、PA割当制御部101から通知されるデータ応答リソースの情報に基づいて、復調後の受信信号から、データ応答リソースで送信された応答信号を抽出し、抽出した応答信号がACK/NACK/DTXのいずれであるかを判定する。

例2)ACK:[+1,+1,-1,-1],NACK[+1,-1,-1,+1],NACK2[+1,+1,+1,+1]
ここで、+1,-1は、それぞれBPSKシンボルマッピングされて送付される。
