- the mobile station reports the channel quality of the communication channel between the mobile station and the source base station to the source base station (step S2).
- the channel quality report may be periodically performed, or may be performed when the channel quality falls below a predetermined reference value.
- the source base station determines whether or not measurement is necessary based on the quality report received from the mobile station, and if measurement is necessary, allocates a measurement gap to the mobile station (step S4).
- the mobile station searches for a downlink channel from a neighboring base station (that is, performs a cell search) during the allocated measurement gap (step S12).
- the mobile station can know the surrounding base stations to be searched according to a list provided in advance from the source base station.
- the mobile station when the mobile station acquires synchronization with the downlink channel, the mobile station performs measurement using the reference signal included in the downlink channel (step S14). During this time, the source base station restricts allocation of data communication related to the mobile station so that data transmission by the mobile station does not occur.
- the mobile station that has finished the measurement transmits a measurement report including the measurement result to the source base station (step S22).
- the result of the measurement included in the measurement report may be an average value or a representative value of the measurement values over a plurality of measurements. Further, the measurement result may include data for a plurality of frequency bands.
- the source base station that has received the measurement report determines whether or not to execute handover based on the content of the measurement report. For example, when the channel quality of other base stations in the vicinity is better than a predetermined threshold value than the channel quality of the source base station, it can be determined that a handover is necessary. In that case, the source base station determines to proceed with the handover procedure with the other base station as the target base station, and transmits a handover request message (Handover Request) to the target base station (step S24).

Then, the mobile station acquires synchronization with the downlink channel of the target base station (step S32). Next, the mobile station performs random access to the target base station using a random access channel provided in a predetermined time slot (step S34).

- FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of the cell ID change determination process included in the communication control process according to the present embodiment.
- the correlation for the cell ID to be monitored is detected by the correlation detection unit 156 of the relay station 100 (step S102).
- the cell ID to be monitored may be a cell ID for the serving cell and one or more neighboring cells.
- the correlation value detected by the correlation detection unit 156 is stored along the time axis by the storage unit 162 for each cell ID (step S104).

- the change determination unit 160 determines whether or not the time T has elapsed from the time when the correlation value for any one of the cell IDs is maximized (step S106). Here, if there is no cell ID for which the time T has elapsed since the correlation value reached the maximum, the process returns to step S102, and the monitoring of the correlation value for each cell ID is continued. Note that the change determination unit 160 may, for example, ignore the timing at which the maximum value is obtained when the correlation value is maximum and the maximum value is smaller than a preset threshold value. As a result, it is possible to prevent the cell ID from being changed at an improper timing due to a minute time variation of the correlation value.
- step S106 when there is a cell ID for which time T has elapsed from the time when the correlation value is maximized, change determination section 160 determines that the cell ID of relay station 100 should be changed (step S106). S108).

- the control unit 170 of the relay station 100 instructs the mobile station 10 belonging to the relay station 100 to perform a handover from the first cell ID to the second cell ID (step S208). Then, each mobile station 10 detects the synchronization signal from the relay station 100 and acquires synchronization for the second cell ID. Note that two types of synchronization sequences are multiplexed in the synchronization signal from the relay station 100 as described above. However, since the signal sequences of these synchronization sequences are orthogonal to each other, the mobile station 10 can acquire synchronization by separating these two types of synchronization sequences.
- the connection destination of the mobile station 10 is the relay station 100 before and after the handover by the mobile station 10 in the communication control process of FIG. That is, the handover is only a pseudo handover for changing the cell ID.
- the second adjustment of the signal transmission timing by the mobile station 10 may be omitted. Therefore, in this case, the mobile station 10 may skip random access in the handover procedure illustrated in FIG. 4 (the relay station 100 corresponds to both the source base station and the target base station in FIG. 4). In addition, measurement by the mobile station 10 is not necessary.
- control unit 170 of the relay station 100 waits for reception of a handover completion message from the mobile station 10 (step S210).

- the handover by the mobile station 10 belonging to the relay station 100 is a pseudo handover in which the connection destination does not change, the cell ID can be changed quickly by omitting a part of the handover procedure (measurement, random access, etc.). Is possible.
- the relay station 100 monitors whether or not the cell ID should be changed by monitoring the correlation between the radio signal received from the neighboring base station 200 and the synchronization sequence of one or more cell IDs. To decide. Therefore, the present embodiment can be realized at a relatively low cost because the implementation does not affect devices other than the relay station 10.
- the change determining unit 160 of the relay station 100 uses the cell ID in use after a predetermined time has elapsed since the correlation value for the synchronization sequence of any of the cell IDs has reached a maximum. It is determined that a certain first cell ID should be changed to a second cell ID that is a cell ID having a maximum correlation value. Thereby, it is possible to avoid collision of the cell ID of the relay station 100 with the cell ID of the neighboring base station 200 without predicting the position of the relay station 100.

まず、図1~図5を用いて、本発明の一実施形態に係る無線通信システムの概要、及び本発明に関連する課題を説明する。
図1は、本発明の一実施形態に係る無線通信システム1の概要を示す模式図である。図1を参照すると、無線通信システム1は、1つ以上の移動局10a、10b、…10n、中継局100及び複数の基地局200a及び200bを含む。なお、本明細書において、移動局10a、10b、…10nを互いに区別する必要が無い場合には、符号の末尾のアルファベットを省略することにより、これらを移動局10と総称する。同様に、基地局200a及び200bを互いに区別する必要が無い場合には、これらを基地局200と総称する。
図2は、リレー通信が行われる通信リソースの構成の一例として、LTEにおける通信リソースの構成を示している。図2を参照すると、LTEにおける通信リソースは、時間方向において、10msecの長さを有する個々のラジオフレームに分割される。さらに、1ラジオフレームは10個のサブフレームを含み、1つのサブフレームは2つの0.5msスロットから構成される。また、1つの0.5msスロットは、通常、時間方向において7つのOFDMシンボルを含む。時間方向において7つのOFDMシンボル、周波数方向において12本のサブキャリアを含む通信リソースの1単位を、リソースブロック(Resource Block)という。LTEでは、時間方向においてはこのサブフレーム又はリソースブロックごとに各移動局へ通信リソースが割り当てられる。また、時間方向において1つのOFDMシンボル、周波数方向において1本のサブキャリアに相当する通信リソースの1単位を、リソースエレメント(Resource Element)という。即ち、1リソースブロックは7×12=84リソースエレメントに相当する。同じ帯域幅、同じ時間長の中では、より多くのリソースブロックがデータ通信のために割り当てられるほど、データ通信のスループットは大きくなる。
図4は、一般的なハンドオーバ手続の一例として、リレー通信の介在しないハンドオーバ手続の流れを示している。ここでは、ハンドオーバ手続に、移動局(UE)、ソース基地局(Source eNB)、ターゲット基地局(Target eNB)及びMME(Mobility Management Entity(移動性管理エンティティ))が関与する。
上述した説明から理解されるように、ハンドオーバ手続は、移動局、ソース基地局及びターゲット基地局の少なくないリソースを消費する。従って、ハンドオーバが頻繁に発生すると、無線通信システムの全体のスループットが低下するリスクが生じる。このようなリスクは、図1に示した無線通信システム1のような移動可能な中継局100が用いられる場面において、より拡大する恐れがある。
[2-1.装置の構成例]
(移動局)
図6は、本発明の第1の実施形態に係る移動局10の構成の一例を示すブロック図である。図6を参照すると、移動局10は、通信部20、通信制御部40及び上位レイヤ50を備える。
図7は、本発明の第1の実施形態に係る中継局100の構成の一例を示すブロック図である。図7を参照すると、中継局100は、通信部120、相関検出部156、変更決定部160、記憶部162、制御部170及び挿入部172を備える。
図9は、本発明の第1の実施形態に係る基地局200の構成の一例を示すブロック図である。図9を参照すると、基地局200は、通信部220、制御部250、記憶部262及び挿入部272を備える。
以下、図10及び図11を用いて、本実施形態におけるリレー通信に際しての通信制御処理の流れを説明する。図10は、本実施形態に係る通信制御処理に含まれるセルID変更判定処理の流れの一例を示すフローチャートである。
ここまで、図6~図11を用いて、本発明の第1の実施形態について説明した。本実施形態によれば、セルIDの衝突を避けるために中継局100のセルIDを変更すべきであると決定すると、中継局100は、擬似的なハンドオーバ手続により、中継局100に属する移動局10の接続先のセルIDを第1のセルIDから第2のセルIDへ変更させる。この場合、中継局100に属する各移動局10によるハンドオーバは行われるものの、移動手段3の外部の基地局200は当該ハンドオーバ手続に関与しないため、少なくとも移動手段3の外部の基地局200が提供する通信サービスのスループットは低下しない。また、中継局100に属する移動局10によるハンドオーバは接続先の変わらない擬似的なハンドオーバであるため、ハンドオーバ手続の一部(メジャメント及びランダムアクセスなど)を省略することにより、迅速なセルIDの変更が可能である。
本発明の第2の実施形態では、図1に示した中継局100の代わりに、以下に説明する中継局300が使用される。
(中継局)
図12は、本発明の第2の実施形態に係る中継局300の構成の一例を示すブロック図である。図12を参照すると、中継局300は、通信部120、位置検出部358、変更決定部360、記憶部362、制御部170及び挿入部172を備える。
図14は、本実施形態に係るセルID変更判定処理の流れの一例を示すフローチャートである。
ここまで、図12~図14を用いて、本発明の第2の実施形態について説明した。本実施形態において、セルIDの衝突を避けるために中継局300のセルIDを変更すべきであると決定すると、中継局300は、擬似的なハンドオーバ手続により、中継局300に属する移動局10の接続先のセルIDを第1のセルIDから第2のセルIDへ変更させる。この場合、中継局300に属する各移動局10によるハンドオーバは行われるものの、移動手段3の外部の基地局200は当該ハンドオーバ手続に関与しないため、少なくとも移動手段3の外部の基地局200が提供する通信サービスのスループットは低下しない。また、中継局300に属する移動局10によるハンドオーバは接続先の変わらない擬似的なハンドオーバであるため、ハンドオーバ手続の一部(メジャメント及びランダムアクセスなど)を省略することにより、迅速なセルIDの変更が可能である。
