これにより、前述のチャネル情報展開装置がコンピュータを利用して実現できるようになる。
図1は、本発明の一実施形態に係る無線通信システムの構成を示すブロック図である。この無線通信システムは、MIMO送信機1とMIMO受信機2とを有し、MIMO送信機1からMIMO受信機2へMIMO伝送を行う。
まず、図2を参照してチャネル情報圧縮部24を説明する。図2において、チャネル情報圧縮部24は、離散コサイン変換(DCT:Discrete Cosine Transform)部41と情報圧縮部42と可変長符号化部43とこれら各部を制御する制御部44とを有する。情報圧縮部42は、情報削除部45と量子化部46とを有する。
チャネル情報圧縮部24に設けられたDCT部41は、チャネル情報から離散コサイン変換の変換単位を生成し、その変換単位で離散コサイン変換を行う。以下、本実施形態に係る離散コサイン変換の変換単位を説明する。
制御部44は、自MIMO受信機2の移動速度に応じて、離散コサイン変換の変換単位の大きさを変更する。自MIMO受信機2の移動速度は、情報取得部26から制御用情報Aとして制御部44に供給される。制御部44は、自MIMO受信機2の移動速度が基準速度以下である場合には、離散コサイン変換の変換単位の大きさを標準サイズとする。一方、制御部44は、自MIMO受信機2の移動速度が基準速度超過である場合には、離散コサイン変換の変換単位の大きさを標準サイズよりも小さい縮小サイズとする。なお、離散コサイン変換の変換単位の大きさは、MIMO受信機2の移動速度に応じて細かく段階的に変化させるようにしてもよい。
制御部44は、自MIMO受信機2のハードウェアリソースの使用上の制約に応じて、離散コサイン変換の変換単位の大きさを変更する。自MIMO受信機2のハードウェアリソースの使用上の制約は、情報取得部26から制御用情報Aとして制御部44に供給される。制御部44は、自MIMO受信機2のハードウェアリソースの使用上の制約が基準以下である場合、すなわち、基準と同等か緩い場合には、離散コサイン変換の変換単位の大きさを標準サイズとする。一方、制御部44は、自MIMO受信機2のハードウェアリソースの使用上の制約が基準超過である場合、すなわち、基準よりも厳しい場合には、離散コサイン変換の変換単位の大きさを標準サイズよりも小さい縮小サイズとする。なお、離散コサイン変換の変換単位の大きさは、MIMO受信機2のハードウェアリソースの使用上の制約に応じて細かく段階的に変化させるようにしてもよい。
情報圧縮部42は、離散コサイン変換データに含まれる高周波成分の情報を圧縮(情報のビット数の削減または情報の削除)する。情報圧縮部42は、情報削除部45と量子化部46を有する。以下、本実施形態に係る情報圧縮方法を順次説明する。
第1の情報圧縮方法では、離散コサイン変換データに含まれる高周波成分の情報(DCT係数)を削除する。どの周波数成分の情報(どのDCT係数)を削除するのかは、固定的に定められていてもよく、或いは、制御部44が指定してもよい。
制御部44が削除対象のDCT係数を指定する場合、制御部44は、DCT係数の削除個数を情報削除部45へ指示する。これにより、情報削除部45は、最も高い周波数成分のDCT係数から低い周波数成分のDCT係数の方へと順番に、削除個数分のDCT係数を削除する。制御部44は、DCT係数の削除個数を、チャネル情報圧縮符号化データBに係る制御データCとして制御情報送信部25へ出力する。
制御部44は、自MIMO受信機2の移動速度に応じて、DCT係数の削除個数を変更する。制御部44は、自MIMO受信機2の移動速度が基準速度以下である場合には、DCT係数の削除個数を標準個数とする。一方、制御部44は、自MIMO受信機2の移動速度が基準速度超過である場合には、DCT係数の削除個数を標準個数よりも多い拡大個数とする。なお、DCT係数の削除個数は、MIMO受信機2の移動速度に応じて細かく段階的に変化させるようにしてもよい。
制御部44は、MIMO伝送される情報を使用するアプリケーションの要求スループットに応じて、DCT係数の削除個数を変更する。制御部44は、要求スループットが基準値以下である場合には、DCT係数の削除個数を標準個数とする。一方、制御部44は、要求スループットが基準値超過である場合には、DCT係数の削除個数を標準個数よりも少ない縮小個数とする。この理由は、アプリケーションの要求スループットが大きい場合には、離散コサイン変換データの情報量を多くしてチャネル応答行列の精度を高くすることによりプリコーディング効果を高め、これによりスループットの増大が期待できるからである。なお、DCT係数の削除個数は、要求スループットに応じて細かく段階的に変化させるようにしてもよい。
制御部44は、共用無線リソースを同時に利用する受信機の個数(同時利用受信機数)に応じて、DCT係数の削除個数を変更する。本実施形態では、共用無線リソースは、MIMO受信機2からMIMO送信機1への制御情報の送信に使用される無線リソースである。制御部44は、同時利用受信機数が基準値以下である場合には、DCT係数の削除個数を標準個数とする。一方、制御部44は、同時利用受信機数が基準値超過である場合には、DCT係数の削除個数を標準個数よりも多い拡大個数とする。これは、同時利用受信機数が多い場合には、共用無線リソースを節約するために、離散コサイン変換データの情報量を少なくするためである。なお、DCT係数の削除個数は、同時利用受信機数に応じて細かく段階的に変化させるようにしてもよい。
第2の情報圧縮方法では、離散コサイン変換データに含まれる高周波成分の情報(DCT係数)のビット数を削減する。どの周波数成分の情報(どのDCT係数)のビット数を削減するのかは、固定的に定められていてもよく、或いは、制御部44が指定してもよい。また、何ビット削減するのかは、固定的に定められていてもよく、或いは、制御部44が指定してもよい。
制御部44がビット数削減対象のDCT係数および何ビット削減するのかを指定する場合、制御部44は、DCT係数のビット数削減対象個数および削減ビット数を量子化部46へ指示する。これにより、量子化部46は、離散コサイン変換データ中の最も高い周波数成分のDCT係数から低い周波数成分のDCT係数の方へと順番に、ビット数削減対象個数分のDCT係数を選択する。次に、量子化部46は、選択したDCT係数のビット数を、削減ビット数だけ削減する処理(量子化ビット数の削減)を行う。制御部44は、DCT係数のビット数削減対象個数および削減ビット数を、チャネル情報圧縮符号化データBに係る制御データCとして制御情報送信部25へ出力する。
制御部44は、情報取得部2から入力される制御用情報Aに基づいて、DCT係数のビット数削減対象個数または削減ビット数を変更する。これにより、制御部44は、離散コサイン変換データの圧縮率を変化させる。以下、制御用情報Aの種類別にDCT係数のビット数削減対象個数または削減ビット数を変更する方法について説明する。
制御部44は、自MIMO受信機2の移動速度に応じて、DCT係数のビット数削減対象個数または削減ビット数を変更する。制御部44は、自MIMO受信機2の移動速度が基準速度以下である場合には、DCT係数のビット数削減対象個数および削減ビット数を各標準値とする。一方、制御部44は、自MIMO受信機2の移動速度が基準速度超過である場合には、DCT係数のビット数削減対象個数または削減ビット数を各標準値よりも多い拡大値とする。なお、DCT係数のビット数削減対象個数および削減ビット数は、MIMO受信機2の移動速度に応じて細かく段階的に変化させるようにしてもよい。
制御部44は、MIMO伝送される情報を使用するアプリケーションの要求スループットに応じて、DCT係数のビット数削減対象個数または削減ビット数を変更する。制御部44は、要求スループットが基準値以下である場合には、DCT係数のビット数削減対象個数および削減ビット数を各標準値とする。一方、制御部44は、要求スループットが基準値超過である場合には、DCT係数のビット数削減対象個数または削減ビット数を各標準値よりも少ない縮小値とする。なお、DCT係数のビット数削減対象個数および削減ビット数は、要求スループットに応じて細かく段階的に変化させるようにしてもよい。
制御部44は、共用無線リソースを同時に利用する受信機の個数(同時利用受信機数)に応じて、DCT係数のビット数削減対象個数または削減ビット数を変更する。本実施形態では、共用無線リソースは、MIMO受信機2からMIMO送信機1への制御情報の送信に使用される無線リソースである。制御部44は、同時利用受信機数が基準値以下である場合には、DCT係数のビット数削減対象個数および削減ビット数を各標準値とする。一方、制御部44は、同時利用受信機数が基準値超過である場合には、DCT係数のビット数削減対象個数または削減ビット数を各標準値よりも多い拡大値とする。なお、DCT係数のビット数削減対象個数および削減ビット数は、同時利用受信機数に応じて細かく段階的に変化させるようにしてもよい。
可変長符号化部43は、可変長符号化の符号化単位の大きさを変更可能である。制御部44は、可変長符号化の符号化単位の大きさを可変長符号化部43へ指示する。これにより、可変長符号化部43は、制御部44から指示された符号化単位で、情報圧縮部42から受け取った圧縮データを可変長符号化する。制御部44は、可変長符号化の符号化単位の大きさを、チャネル情報圧縮符号化データBに係る制御データCとして制御情報送信部25へ出力する。
制御部44は、自MIMO受信機2の移動速度に応じて、可変長符号化の符号化単位の大きさを変更する。制御部44は、自MIMO受信機2の移動速度が基準速度以下である場合には、可変長符号化の符号化単位の大きさを標準サイズとする。一方、制御部44は、自MIMO受信機2の移動速度が基準速度超過である場合には、可変長符号化の符号化単位の大きさを標準サイズよりも小さい縮小サイズとする。なお、可変長符号化の符号化単位の大きさは、MIMO受信機2の移動速度に応じて細かく段階的に変化させるようにしてもよい。
制御部44は、自MIMO受信機2のハードウェアリソースの使用上の制約に応じて、可変長符号化の符号化単位の大きさを変更する。自MIMO受信機2のハードウェアリソースの使用上の制約は、情報取得部26から制御用情報Aとして制御部44に供給される。制御部44は、自MIMO受信機2のハードウェアリソースの使用上の制約が基準以下(基準と同等か緩い)である場合には、可変長符号化の符号化単位の大きさを標準サイズとする。一方、制御部44は、自MIMO受信機2のハードウェアリソースの使用上の制約が基準超過であり、基準よりも厳しい場合には、可変長符号化の符号化単位の大きさを標準サイズよりも小さい縮小サイズとする。なお、可変長符号化の符号化単位の大きさは、MIMO受信機2のハードウェアリソースの使用上の制約に応じて細かく段階的に変化させるようにしてもよい。
例えば、図2に示されたチャネル情報圧縮部24の情報圧縮部42において、情報削除部45または量子化部46のいずれか一方のみを設けるようにしてもよい。この場合、図3に示されたチャネル情報展開部14の情報展開部52においては、チャネル情報圧縮部24の情報圧縮部42に対応させて逆量子化部55または情報補完部56のいずれか一方のみを設ければよい。
