Description

Wireless communication system, base station apparatus, mobile station apparatus, and communication method

The present invention relates to a radio communication system, a base station apparatus, a mobile station apparatus, and a communication method, and more particularly to a detection method for a base station apparatus.

3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) 3GPP, which is a standardization project, has evolved to realize high-speed communication by adopting OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Frequency Division) Multiplexing (OFDM) communication method and flexible scheduling in predetermined frequency and time units called resource blocks The Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (hereinafter referred to as E-UTRA) is being discussed. In 3GPP, discussion of Advanced E-UTRA that realizes higher-speed data transmission and has upward compatibility with E-UTRA has started.

Currently, in E-UTRA and Advanced E-UTRA, home base station apparatuses installed in homes and offices are being studied. The 3rd generation home base station apparatus defined by 3GPP is called Home Node B (Home NodeB). Further, the home base station apparatus in E-UTRA and Advanced E-UTRA is referred to as Home eNodeB (Home NodeB). The home base station apparatus manages an area (cell) that can communicate with the mobile station apparatus, and the cell is referred to as a home cell. The home cell is also referred to as a femto cell or a pico cell depending on the size of an area communicable with the mobile station apparatus. In addition, the cell of the base station apparatus in communication is a serving cell, and the cell of the base station apparatus not in communication is referred to as a peripheral cell. That is, other cells included in the area of the serving cell are also referred to as neighboring cells. Further, the home cell of the home base station device that restricts the available users by registering accessible users in advance is referred to as a CSG (Closed Subscriber Group) cell. The CSG cell transmits a CSG-ID (CSG Identity) to the mobile station apparatus by broadcast information, and the mobile station apparatus can access the cell by collating the CSG-ID with a CSG cell list held therein. It is judged whether it is (nonpatent literature 1).

In order to detect a CSG cell in which the mobile station device is registered, the mobile station device needs to acquire the identifier of the CSG cell and the broadcast information. In particular, a normal macro cell and a CSG cell are provided in different frequency bands. If it is, it is difficult to always perform the detection process from the viewpoint of power consumption. Therefore, E-UTRA has studied a mechanism for autonomously identifying that the mobile station apparatus is within the area of the registered CSG cell and performing detection processing only when the mobile station apparatus is within the area. Any method can be used as a method for detecting whether or not the mobile station device is within the area of the CSG cell. For example, GPS (Global Positioning System) can be used to specify a location or a plurality of surroundings. A method of detecting based on a cell identifier (for example, a physical cell identifier or a cell global identifier) has been considered (Non-Patent Document 2). Alternatively, as an extension of the method of using the identifiers of neighboring cells, a location service request is sent from the mobile station device to the network, and the network sends location measurement signals from a plurality of base station devices to the requested mobile station device. A method for identifying the position of the mobile station apparatus using the support is also being studied (Non-patent Document 3).

In addition, not only the above mobile phone but also location specification using an access point (AP) such as IEEE 802.11g established by IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.) is also practical. It has become. In other words, the location of the own terminal can be specified from the MAC address of the AP included in the packet transmitted from the AP, using the association table of the MAC address and geographic information managed by the server on the network. .

Furthermore, Patent Document 1 presents a method that enables position specification by including latitude / longitude information in a part of the SSID broadcast from the AP.

JP2009-89396

Since a conventional location service request needs to spend resources of a plurality of base station devices for location determination, it is not preferable that many mobile station devices make requests for CSG cell area detection. In addition, the wireless LAN location specifying method and the method described in Patent Document 1 do not report the latitude / longitude information to the mobile station device in the current mobile phone system, and the cell size is Since it is larger than the size of the wireless LAN area, it is difficult to detect the area of the CSG cell using only a small number of cell identifiers, and the area detection accuracy can be improved using more cell identifiers. It is desirable to increase.

However, in E-UTRA and Advanced E-UTRA, in order to save power and reduce interference, base station devices and relay station devices (base stations that use wireless connections with other base station devices instead of wired connections to the core network) It has been proposed to have a state in which part or all of wireless transmission in a cell of a (station device) is stopped (Non-Patent Document 4).

First, an outline of the communication technology used in the present invention will be briefly described before a detailed description of each embodiment.

(1) Physical channel The main physical channel (or physical signal) used in EUTRA and Advanced EUTRA will be described. The physical channel may be added or changed in the future in EUTRA and Advanced EUTRA. However, even if the physical channel is changed, the description of each embodiment of the present invention is not affected.

The synchronization signal (Synchronization Signals) is composed of three types of primary synchronization signals and secondary synchronization signals composed of 31 types of codes arranged alternately in the frequency domain. By the combination, 504 physical cell identifiers (Physical Cell Identifier; PCI) for identifying the base station apparatus and frame timing for radio synchronization are shown. The mobile station apparatus specifies the physical cell identifier of the synchronization signal received by the cell search.

The physical broadcast information channel (PBCH) is transmitted for the purpose of reporting control parameters (broadcast information (system information); System information) that are commonly used by mobile station apparatuses in the cell. Broadcast information that is not notified on the physical broadcast information channel is transmitted as a layer 3 message (system information) on the downlink shared channel after the radio resource is notified on the downlink control channel. As broadcast information, a cell global identifier (CGI; “Cell Global Identifier”) indicating an individual identifier of a cell, a tracking area identifier (TAI; “Tracking” Area Identifier) for managing a standby area by paging, and the like are notified.

The downlink reference signal is a pilot signal transmitted at a predetermined power for each cell. The downlink reference signal is a known signal that is periodically repeated at a frequency / time position based on a predetermined rule. The mobile station apparatus measures the reception quality for each cell by receiving the downlink reference signal. Also, the mobile station apparatus uses the downlink reference signal as a reference signal for demodulating the downlink control channel or the downlink shared channel transmitted simultaneously with the downlink reference signal. As a sequence used for the downlink reference signal, a sequence that can be identified for each cell is used. In addition, although a downlink reference signal may be described as a downlink reference signal or a cell specific RS (Cell-specific reference signals), its use and meaning are the same.

The downlink control channel (PDCCH; Physical Downlink Control Channel) is transmitted with several OFDM symbols from the beginning of each subframe, and the radio resource allocation information according to the scheduling of the base station device and transmission Used to indicate the amount of power increase / decrease adjustment. The mobile station apparatus monitors (monitors) the downlink control channel addressed to itself before transmitting / receiving the layer 3 message (paging, handover command, etc.) that is downlink data or downlink control data, and By receiving the downlink control channel, it is necessary to acquire radio resource allocation information called an uplink grant at the time of transmission and a downlink grant at the time of reception from the downlink control channel.

The uplink control channel (PUCCH; Physical Uplink Control Channel) is an acknowledgment of data transmitted on the downlink shared channel, downlink propagation path information (CQI; Channel Quality dicIndicator), and uplink radio resource request. Used to make a scheduling request (SR; Scheduling Request).

The downlink shared channel (PDSCH: Physical Downlink Shared Channel) is used not only for downlink data but also for reporting paging and broadcast information as a layer 3 message that is downlink control data. The radio resource allocation information of the downlink shared channel is indicated by the downlink control channel.

The uplink shared channel (PUSCH) mainly transmits uplink data and uplink control data, and can also include control data such as downlink reception quality and ACK / NACK. Similarly to the downlink, the radio resource allocation information of the uplink shared channel is indicated by the downlink control channel.

The random access channel (PRACH; “Physical” Random “Access” Channel) is a channel used to notify the preamble sequence and has a guard time. The random access channel is used as a means for accessing the base station apparatus of the mobile station apparatus. The mobile station apparatus transmits a radio resource request when the uplink control channel is not set and transmission timing adjustment information (timing advance (TA) Timing Advance) necessary to match the uplink transmission timing with the reception timing window of the base station apparatus. The random access channel is used to request the base station apparatus. The mobile station apparatus that has received the transmission timing adjustment information sets the effective time (TA timer) of the transmission timing adjustment information, and manages the state as the transmission timing adjustment state during the effective time and the transmission timing non-adjustment state outside the effective period To do.

It should be noted that other physical channels are not related to each embodiment of the present invention, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted.

(2) Radio Communication System A radio communication system according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the following description, E-UTRA and Advanced E-UTRA are assumed as wireless communication systems, but the present invention is not limited to this.

The mobile communication system includes a base station device and a mobile station device, and FIG. 1 is a diagram showing that base station devices Na, Nb, Nc, Nd, and mobile station devices Ua, Ub are arranged. It is. Here, it is assumed that the cell of the base station apparatus Na is Ca, the cell of the base station apparatus Nb is Nb, the cell of the base station apparatus Nc is Cc, and the cell of the base station apparatus Nd is Cd. The cell Cd is assumed to be a CSG cell that can be accessed by the mobile station apparatuses Ua and Ub, and a cell having a frequency band different from that of the cells Ca, Cb, and Cc. Here, for convenience, an example in which one base station apparatus has one cell is given, but a plurality of cells may be provided. Further, it is assumed that the base station apparatus Nc may shift to a power saving state.

The mobile stations Ua and Ub store in advance the identifiers and received power information of neighboring cells of the CSG cell in order to determine whether or not they are in the area of the CSG cell.

Conventionally, in FIG. 1, for example, in order to reduce the area estimation error, the area of the CSG cell when the identifier of the cell Cc is received in addition to the cells Ca and Cb (that is, at the position of the mobile station apparatus Ua). Judged to be inside. For this reason, it is determined that the mobile station apparatus Ub cannot receive the identifier of the cell Cc is out of the area. In other words, if the base station apparatus Nc is in the power saving state, it is determined that the mobile station apparatus Ua is out of the CSG cell area even at the position of the mobile station apparatus Ua.

In consideration of the above matters, embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below.

[First Embodiment]
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an outline of the base station apparatus 200 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The base station apparatus 200 includes a reception unit 201, a reception signal processing unit 202, an upper layer 203, a control unit 206, a transmission signal processing unit 204, a transmission unit 205, a reception antenna AN21, and a transmission antenna AN22. In FIG. 2, the other components of the base station apparatus 200 are omitted because they are not related to the present embodiment.

The upper layer 203 outputs a control signal necessary for transmission to the control unit 206. In addition, the mobile station apparatus outputs transmission information such as traffic data, control signals, and broadcast information (including system information) to the transmission signal processing unit 204. The broadcast information includes information (power saving information) indicating whether or not the base station apparatus supports switching to the power saving state. The transmission signal processing unit 204 encodes and modulates data input from the higher layer 203 based on the transmission control signal input from the control unit 206, and transmits the time / time together with the downlink shared channel, the synchronization signal, and the downlink reference signal. Arrange on the frequency axis and generate a radio frame. The radio frame generated by the transmission signal processing unit 204 is output to the transmission unit 205. The transmission unit 205 performs power amplification by placing the radio frame generated by the transmission signal processing unit 204 on a carrier wave having a predetermined frequency based on the transmission control signal input from the control unit 206. The signal output from the transmission unit 205 is transmitted from the transmission antenna AN22.

Further, the upper layer 203 outputs a control signal necessary for reception to the control unit 206. A signal received by the receiving antenna AN21 is input to the receiving unit 201.

The received signal processing unit 202 outputs control data and traffic data that have been correctly decoded to the upper layer 203.

Further, the base station apparatus 200 communicates with peripheral base station apparatuses and access gateways not shown through the upper layer 203.

Further, when the upper layer 203 receives an instruction to shift to the power saving mode from the access gateway, the upper layer 203 stops the operation other than the function required in the power saving mode in each block through the control unit 206. For example, the transmission unit 205 is controlled to stop transmission of all or part of the wireless transmission frame.

Here, the power saving information may be information independent of other parameters related to the cell, or information set in association with other parameters (for example, included in some categories in the categorization of base station devices) Feature). The power saving information may be of several types, for example, a state in which the synchronization signal is stopped (a state in which the mobile station apparatus cannot recognize the cell identifier), or a transmission power of a signal including a downlink reference signal is reduced. In a state of receiving (or not transmitting a part of) (in a state in which the received power in the mobile station device is small), or in a state of intermittent transmission (DTX; Discontinuous Transmission) including a synchronization signal and a downlink reference signal (in which the mobile station device is intermittent) The presence or absence of implementation relating to a plurality of power saving states such as a state in which the cell identifier cannot be recognized without knowing the transmission timing may be represented. Further, information indicating the frequency of shifting to the power saving state (several times a day, limited to winter, etc.) may be included.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an outline of the mobile station apparatus 300 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The mobile station apparatus 300 includes a reception unit 301, a reception signal processing unit 302, an area identification unit 303, an area registration unit 308, a CSG cell-neighboring cell information correspondence table 309, an upper layer 307, a control unit 306, a transmission signal processing unit 304, A transmission unit 305, a reception antenna AN31, and a transmission antenna AN32 are provided. In FIG. 3, the other components of the mobile station apparatus 300 are omitted because they are not related to the present embodiment.

The upper layer 307 outputs a control signal necessary for transmission to the control unit 306. Also, transmission information such as uplink traffic data is output to the transmission signal processing section 304. The transmission signal processing unit 304 encodes and modulates data input from the higher layer 307 based on the transmission control signal input from the control unit 306, and generates an uplink transmission signal together with the reference signal. The uplink transmission signal generated by the transmission signal processing unit 304 is output to the transmission unit 305. The transmission unit 305 performs power amplification by placing the uplink transmission signal generated by the transmission signal processing unit 304 on a carrier wave of a predetermined frequency based on the transmission control signal input from the control unit 306. The signal output from the transmission unit 305 is transmitted from the transmission antenna AN32.

Further, the upper layer 307 outputs a control signal necessary for reception to the control unit 306. A signal received by the receiving antenna AN31 is input to the receiving unit 301. The receiving unit 301 converts the signal received from the base station apparatus 200 into a baseband digital signal based on the reception control signal input from the control unit 306. The converted signal is input to reception signal processing section 302 and demodulated and decoded based on the reception control signal input from control section 306. The reception signal processing unit 302 outputs control data and traffic data that have been correctly decoded to the upper layer 307.

In addition, the received signal processing unit 302 outputs, to the area identifying unit 303 and the area registering unit 308, information on neighboring cell identifiers, received power thereof, and, if necessary, power saving information, from the received signal. In response to the CSG cell area registration instruction from the upper layer 307, the area registration unit 308 associates at least the identifier of the neighboring cell and the power saving information with the identifier of the CSG cell to be registered. And stored in the CSG cell-neighboring cell information correspondence table 309. The area identifying unit 303 compares the neighboring cell information output from the received signal processing unit 302 with the neighboring cell information in the CSG cell-neighboring cell information correspondence table 309, and determines whether or not the CSG cell is in the area. I do. The determined result is notified to the upper layer 307.

Next, the area registration and area identification method in this embodiment will be described.

In this embodiment, the mobile station apparatus 300 performs area registration processing within the area of the CSG cell. The area registration start instruction may be given by a key input to the mobile station apparatus 300, or may be autonomously given by the mobile station apparatus 300 when it is in a state where it can be connected to the CSG cell.

First, the mobile station apparatus 300 performs measurement of neighboring cells, physical cell identifiers from detected synchronization signals of neighboring cells, power saving information from broadcast information, and cell global identifiers if necessary to reduce area estimation errors. In addition, the area registration unit 308 acquires a tracking area identifier, received power (or a path loss value obtained by a difference between transmission power included in broadcast information and actual received power), and the like. When there are a plurality of detected neighboring cells, the above process is performed for each cell. The acquired information is associated with the identifier of the CSG cell and stored in the CSG cell-neighboring cell information correspondence table 309. The CSG cell-neighboring cell information correspondence table is preferably updated when a certain period has passed since generation.

Next, it is assumed that the mobile station device 300 is located in a cell other than the CSG cell. The mobile station device 300 acquires the identifier of the serving cell and the identifier of the neighboring cell, and the area identifying unit 303 compares the information with the information stored in the CSG cell-neighboring cell information correspondence table 309. As a result of the comparison, if the set of identifiers associated with one CSG cell in the table matches the received identifiers of the serving cell and the neighboring cells, it is determined that the CSG cell is in the area. In addition, even if the table includes an identifier that is not included in the received identifier, the mobile station device 300 is a cell that may not transmit a synchronization signal due to power saving information. In some cases, it is determined that the area is within the area.
