Description

Mobile station apparatus, communication system, communication method, and integrated circuit

The present invention relates to a mobile station apparatus, a communication system, a communication method, and an integrated circuit that can realize efficient uplink signal transmission in a communication system including a plurality of mobile station apparatuses and a base station apparatus.

The third generation partnership project (3rd Generation Generation) is the evolution of wireless access systems and wireless networks for cellular mobile communications (hereinafter referred to as “Long Term Evolution (LTE)” or “Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (EUTRA)”). Partnership (Project: 3GPP). In LTE, an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) method, which is multicarrier transmission, is used as a communication method (downlink; referred to as “DL”) from a base station device to a mobile station device. In LTE, a single-carrier SC-FDMA (Single-Carrier-Frequency-Division-Multiple-Access) system is used as a communication system (uplink; called UL) from the mobile station apparatus to the base station apparatus. It is done. In LTE, the DFT-Spread OFDM (Discrete-Fourier-Transform-Spread-OFDM) system is used as the SC-FDMA system.

In 3GPP, a wireless access method and a wireless network (hereinafter referred to as “Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A)”) or “Advanced Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (A-EUTRA ) ") Is under consideration. LTE-A is required to realize backward compatibility with LTE. A base station apparatus compatible with LTE-A communicates simultaneously with both mobile station apparatuses compatible with LTE-A and mobile stations compatible with LTE, and mobile stations compatible with LTE-A It is required for LTE-A to realize that the apparatus communicates with a base station apparatus compatible with LTE-A and a base station apparatus compatible with LTE.

In order to realize this requirement, LTE-A is studying to support at least the same channel structure as LTE. A channel means a medium used for signal transmission. A channel used in the physical layer is called a physical channel, and a channel used in a medium access control (Medium Access Control: MAC) layer is called a logical channel. Physical channel types include physical downlink shared channel (Physical Downlink Shared CHannel: PDSCH) used for transmission / reception of downlink data and control information, and physical downlink control channel (Physical) used for transmission / reception of downlink control information. Downlink Control CHannel: PDCCH), physical uplink shared channel (Physical Uplink Shared CHannel: PUSCH) used for transmission and reception of uplink data and control information, physical uplink control channel (Physical Uplink Control CHannel used for transmission and reception of control information : PUCCH), synchronization channel used to establish downlink synchronization (Synchronization CHannel: SCH), physical random access channel used to establish uplink synchronization (Physical Random Access CHannel: PRACH), downlink system Physical broadcast used for information transmission There are channels (Physical Broadcast CHannel: PBCH). A mobile station apparatus or a base station apparatus arranges and transmits a signal generated from control information, data, and the like on each physical channel. Data transmitted on the physical downlink shared channel or the physical uplink shared channel is referred to as a transport block.

The control information arranged in the physical uplink control channel is referred to as uplink control information (Uplink Control Information: UCI). Uplink control information is control information (reception acknowledgment; ACK / NACK) indicating an acknowledgment (Acknowledgement: ACK) or a negative response (Negative Acknowledgement: NACK) for the data arranged in the received physical downlink shared channel, Alternatively, it is control information (Scheduling Request: SR) indicating a request for uplink resource allocation, or control information (Channel Quality Indicator: CQI) indicating downlink reception quality (also referred to as channel quality).

<Collaborative communication>
In LTE-A, in order to reduce or suppress interference with a mobile station apparatus in a cell edge region, or to increase received signal power, inter-cell cooperative communication (Cooperative Multipoint) in which communication is performed in cooperation between adjacent cells. : CoMP communication). For example, a mode in which the base station apparatus communicates using any one frequency band is referred to as a “cell”. For example, as inter-cell cooperative communication, different weighting signal processing (precoding processing) is applied to a signal in a plurality of cells, and a plurality of base station devices cooperates to transmit the signal to the same mobile station device (Joint Processing, also called Joint Transmission). In this method, the signal power to interference noise power ratio of the mobile station apparatus can be improved, and reception characteristics in the mobile station apparatus can be improved. For example, as a coordinated inter-cell communication, a method (Coordinated Scheduling: CS) in which a mobile station apparatus performs scheduling in cooperation with a plurality of cells has been studied. In this method, the signal power to interference noise power ratio of the mobile station apparatus can be improved. For example, as a coordinated inter-cell communication, a method (Coordinated beamforming: CB) in which a signal is transmitted to a mobile station apparatus by applying beamforming in cooperation with a plurality of cells has been studied. In this method, the signal power to interference noise power ratio of the mobile station apparatus can be improved. For example, as inter-cell cooperative communication, a method (Blanking, Muting) in which a signal is transmitted using a predetermined resource only in one cell and a signal is not transmitted using a predetermined resource in one cell has been studied. In this method, the signal power to interference noise power ratio of the mobile station apparatus can be improved.

In addition, regarding a plurality of cells used for cooperative communication, different cells may be configured by different base station apparatuses, and different cells are smaller than different RRH (Remote Radio Head, base station apparatus managed by the same base station apparatus. Outdoor type radio unit, Remote Radio Unit: also called “RRU”), and different cells may be constituted by base station apparatus and RRH managed by the base station apparatus, or different cells. May be configured by an RRH managed by a base station apparatus and a base station apparatus different from the base station apparatus.

A base station apparatus with a wide coverage is generally called a macro base station apparatus. A base station apparatus with a narrow coverage is generally called a pico base station apparatus or a femto base station apparatus. RRH is generally considered to be used in an area where the coverage is narrower than that of a macro base station apparatus. A deployment such as a communication system configured by a macro base station apparatus and an RRH, and a coverage supported by the macro base station apparatus including a part or all of the coverage supported by the RRH is a heterogeneous network deployment. Called. In such a heterogeneous network-deployed communication system, a method in which a macro base station apparatus and an RRH transmit signals in a coordinated manner to mobile station apparatuses located within the overlapping coverage of each other has been studied. Here, RRH is managed by the macro base station apparatus, and transmission / reception is controlled. Note that the macro base station apparatus and the RRH are connected by a wired line such as an optical fiber or a wireless line using a relay technology. As described above, the macro base station apparatus and the RRH perform cooperative communication using radio resources that are partly or entirely the same, so that the overall frequency use efficiency in the coverage area constructed by the macro base station apparatus is increased. (Transmission capacity) can be improved.

When the mobile station apparatus is located in the vicinity of the macro base station apparatus or RRH, the mobile station apparatus can perform single cell communication with the macro base station apparatus or RRH. That is, a certain mobile station apparatus communicates with the macro base station apparatus or RRH without using cooperative communication, and transmits and receives signals. For example, the macro base station apparatus receives an uplink signal from a mobile station apparatus that is close in distance to itself. For example, the RRH receives an uplink signal from a mobile station apparatus that is close in distance to the own apparatus. Furthermore, when the mobile station apparatus is located near the edge of the coverage constructed by the RRH (cell edge), it is necessary to take measures against co-channel interference from the macro base station apparatus. As a multi-cell communication (cooperative communication) between a macro base station apparatus and an RRH, a method for reducing or suppressing interference with a mobile station apparatus in a cell edge region by using a CoMP scheme in which adjacent base stations cooperate with each other has been studied. .

In the downlink, the mobile station apparatus receives signals transmitted from both the macro base station apparatus and the RRH using cooperative communication. In the uplink, the mobile station apparatus receives either the macro base station apparatus or the RRH. Therefore, it is considered to transmit a signal in a suitable form. For example, the mobile station apparatus transmits an uplink signal with transmission power suitable for reception of a signal by the macro base station apparatus. For example, the mobile station apparatus transmits an uplink signal with transmission power suitable for receiving a signal by RRH. Thereby, unnecessary interference in the uplink can be reduced and the frequency utilization efficiency can be improved.

It has been studied that a mobile station apparatus estimates path loss from each of a plurality of types of reference signals and performs transmission power parameter setting suitable for reception of a signal by a macro base station apparatus or RRH (non-transmission). Patent Document 1). For example, the mobile station apparatus calculates a parameter of transmission power suitable for receiving a signal at the macro base station apparatus from the reference signal transmitted from the macro base station apparatus. For example, the mobile station apparatus calculates a parameter of transmission power suitable for receiving a signal by RRH from a reference signal transmitted by RRH. For example, the mobile station apparatus calculates a sub-optimal transmission power parameter for receiving a signal at the macro base station apparatus or RRH from a reference signal transmitted in cooperation from both the macro base station apparatus and the RRH. To do. Specifically, the mobile station apparatus estimates path loss based on the received quality of the received reference signal.

Further, the base station apparatus indicates how much the mobile station apparatus transmits uplink signals with respect to the maximum transmission power value (possible maximum transmission power value) that can be used as apparatus capability. The mobile station apparatus recognizes the base station apparatus by subtracting the transmission power value used for transmission of the uplink signal from the maximum possible transmission power value, which is called power headroom (Power Headroom;） PH). Notify

In the power headroom, values in the range of −23 dB to 40 dB are shown and expressed in 1 dB units. A power headroom indicating a positive value indicates that there is a margin in transmission power of the mobile station apparatus. The power headroom indicating a negative value is a state in which the mobile station device is requesting a transmission power value exceeding the maximum possible transmission power value from the base station device, but the mobile station device is transmitting at the maximum possible transmission power value Is shown. The base station apparatus uses the power headroom information to adjust and determine the frequency bandwidth of resources allocated to the uplink signal of the mobile station apparatus, the modulation scheme of the uplink signal, and the like.

The mobile station apparatus transmits power headroom using two timers (periodicPHR-Timer and prohibitPHR-Timer) notified from the base station apparatus and one value dl-PathlossChange (expressed in dB). To control. The mobile station apparatus determines to transmit power headroom when any of the following events occurs. The first event is “when prohibitPHR-Timer has ended and the path loss value has changed by more than dl-PathlossChange [dB] from the path loss value used for the previous transmission of power headroom”. . The second event is “when periodicPHR-Timer ends”. The third event is “when the setting relating to the transmission function of the power headroom is set or reset”. Thus, the process of determining the transmission of the power headroom and reporting the power headroom to the base station apparatus is referred to as power headroom reporting.

When the mobile station apparatus decides to perform power headroom transmission and a resource used for uplink signal transmission is allocated by the base station apparatus, the base station apparatus includes information on the power headroom in the uplink signal. Send to. When the mobile station apparatus transmits information related to the power headroom, the periodical PHR-Timer and prohibitPHR-Timer being measured are once reset and restarted.

However, in the conventional technology related to power headroom, only one type of path loss is estimated from one type of reference signal, and only one case where the estimated one type of path loss is used for the transmission power of an uplink signal is assumed. . For example, the prior literature does not disclose how to control power headroom transmission using a path loss estimated based on one type of reference signal from among a plurality of types of reference signals. For example, when a plurality of types of path loss are estimated from a plurality of types of reference signals, and uplink signal transmission using transmission power calculated from each path loss is performed in the mobile station apparatus, information on power headroom How to control the transmission is not disclosed in the prior literature.

If information about power headroom is not properly transmitted to the base station apparatus, uplink signal resource allocation, modulation scheme determination, etc. cannot be performed efficiently for the mobile station apparatus, and uplink scheduling is not possible. There was a problem that the accuracy of the deteriorated. For example, in a communication system in which signal reception destinations (including a plurality of reception destinations) can be switched, a path loss suitable for each reception destination is used to determine the transmission power of the uplink signal, and the uplink for each reception destination Efficient scheduling is required from the viewpoint of improving frequency utilization efficiency.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and in a communication system including a plurality of mobile station apparatuses and a base station apparatus, a mobile station apparatus capable of realizing efficient uplink signal transmission An object of the present invention is to provide a communication system, a communication method, and an integrated circuit.

<Collaborative communication>
In the communication system 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, cooperative communication (Cooperative Multipoint: CoMP communication) in which signals are transmitted and received in cooperation using a plurality of cells may be used. For example, a mode in which the base station apparatus communicates using any one frequency band is referred to as a “cell”. For example, as cooperative communication, different weighting signal processing (precoding processing) is applied to a signal in a plurality of cells (base station device 3 and RRH4), and base station device 3 and RRH4 cooperate with the signal to transmit the same mobile station.

Do not send (Blanking, Muting).

Although not described in the embodiment of the present invention, different cells may be configured by different base station devices 3 with respect to a plurality of cells used for cooperative communication, or different cells may be managed by the same base station device 3. The different RRH4 may be configured, and the different cell may be configured by the base station apparatus 3 and the RRH4 managed by the base station apparatus 3 different from the base station apparatus.

Note that the plurality of cells are physically used as different cells, but may be logically used as the same cell. Specifically, a configuration in which a common cell identifier (physical cell ID: Physical cell ID) is used for each cell may be used. A configuration in which a plurality of transmitting apparatuses (base station apparatus 3 and RRH 4) transmit a common signal to the same receiving apparatus using the same frequency band is called a single frequency network (SFN).

The deployment of the communication system 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention assumes a heterogeneous network deployment. The communication system 1 includes a base station device 3 and an RRH 4, and the coverage supported by the base station device 3 includes a part or all of the coverage supported by the RRH 4. Here, the coverage means an area where communication can be realized while satisfying the request. In the communication system 1, the base station device 3 and the RRH 4 transmit signals in cooperation to the mobile station device 5 located in the overlapping coverage. Here, the RRH 4 is managed by the base station apparatus 3 and transmission / reception is controlled. The base station apparatus 3 and the RRH 4 are connected by a wired line such as an optical fiber or a wireless line using a relay technology.

When the mobile station device 5 is located in the vicinity of the base station device 3 or the RRH 4, the mobile station device 5 may use single cell communication with the base station device 3 or the RRH 4. That is, a certain mobile station device 5 may communicate with the base station device 3 or the RRH 4 without using cooperative communication to transmit and receive signals. For example, the base station apparatus 3 may receive an uplink signal from the mobile station apparatus 5 that is close in distance to the base station apparatus 3. For example, the RRH 4 may receive an uplink signal from the mobile station apparatus 5 that is close in distance to the own apparatus. Further, for example, both the base station device 3 and the RRH 4 may receive uplink signals from the mobile station device 5 located near the edge of the coverage (cell edge) constructed by the RRH 4. Further, for example, a plurality of RRHs 4 may receive uplink signals from the mobile station apparatus 5 located near the edge of the coverage (cell edge) constructed by each RRH 4.

Further, the mobile station apparatus 5 receives signals transmitted from both the base station apparatus 3 and the RRH 4 using cooperative communication in the downlink, and either the base station apparatus 3 or the RRH 4 in the uplink. Alternatively, the signal may be transmitted in a suitable form. For example, the mobile station apparatus 5 transmits an uplink signal with transmission power suitable for receiving a signal by the base station apparatus 3. For example, the mobile station apparatus 5 transmits an uplink signal with transmission power suitable for receiving a signal by the RRH 4.

In the communication system 1, the downlink (also referred to as DL: Downlink) that is the communication direction from the base station device 3 or the RRH 4 to the mobile station device 5 is a downlink pilot channel, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH: Physical Downlink). Control CHannel) and physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH: Physical Downlink Shared CHannel). As for PDSCH, cooperative communication is applied or not applied.

Further, in the communication system 1, an uplink (also referred to as UL: Uplink) that is a communication direction from the mobile station device 5 to the base station device 3 or the RRH 4 is a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH: Physical Uplink Shared CHannel). Also called uplink pilot channel (uplink reference signal; UL RS: Uplink Reference Signal, SRS: Sounding Reference Signal, DM RS: Demodulation Reference Signal), and physical uplink control channel (PUCCH: Physical Uplink Control Channel) To be included). A channel means a medium used for signal transmission. A channel used in the physical layer is called a physical channel, and a channel used in a medium access control (Medium Access Control: MAC) layer is called a logical channel.

In the present invention, the mobile station apparatus 5 transmits a signal with transmission power suitable for reception by the base station apparatus 3 in the uplink, and a signal with transmission power suitable for reception by the RRH 4. For the sake of simplification of explanation, description of other operations will be omitted as appropriate, but the present invention is limited to such operation. It should be noted that does not mean. For example, in the present invention, the mobile station apparatus 5 transmits a signal with an optimal transmission power to be received by the RRH 4 in the uplink, and a sub-optimal transmission power to be received by the base station apparatus 3. The present invention is also applicable to a communication system in which transmission of signals is controlled.

Further, the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the communication system 1 in which only the channels described in the present specification are used, but can be applied to a communication system in which other channels are used. For example, a downlink control channel (E-PDCCH: Enhanced-PDCCH) having properties different from PDCCH may be used independently of PDCCH. For example, a precoding process may be applied to E-PDCCH. For example, the E-PDCCH may be subjected to demodulation processing such as channel compensation based on a reference signal to which processing similar to the precoding processing used for E-PDCCH is applied.

PDSCH is a physical channel used for transmission / reception of downlink data and control information. The PDCCH is a physical channel used for transmission / reception of downlink control information. PUSCH is a physical channel used for transmission / reception of uplink data and control information. The PUCCH is a physical channel used for transmission / reception of uplink control information (uplink control information; Uplink Control Information: UCI). As the type of UCI, whether to request an acknowledgment (ACK / NACK) indicating an acknowledgment (Acknowledgement: ACK) or a negative acknowledgment (NegativeegAcknowledgement: NACK) for PDSCH downlink data and resource allocation A scheduling request (Scheduling request: SR) or the like is used. Other physical channel types include synchronization channel (Synchronization CHannel: SCH, synchronization signal; synchronization signal) used for downlink synchronization establishment, physical random access channel (Physical) used for uplink synchronization establishment Random Access CHannel: PRACH), physical broadcast channel (Physical Broadcast CHannel: PBCH) used for transmission of downlink system information (also referred to as SIB: System とも Information Block), and the like are used. The PDSCH is also used for transmission of downlink system information.

The mobile station device 5, the base station device 3, or the RRH 4 arranges and transmits signals generated from control information, data, etc. in each physical channel. Data transmitted on the PDSCH or PUSCH is referred to as a transport block. In addition, an area controlled by the base station apparatus 3 or the RRH 4 is called a cell.

<Configuration of downlink time frame>
FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of a downlink time frame from the base station apparatus 3 or the RRH 4 to the mobile station apparatus 5 according to the embodiment of the present invention. In this figure, the horizontal axis represents the time domain, and the vertical axis represents the frequency domain. The downlink time frame is a unit for resource allocation and the like, and is a resource block (RB) (physical resource block; also referred to as a PRB: Physical Resource Block) composed of a frequency band and a time slot having a predetermined downlink width. ) Pairs (physical resource block pairs; referred to as PRB pairs). One downlink PRB pair (downlink physical resource block pair; referred to as DL PRB pair) is derived from two consecutive PRBs (downlink physical resource block; referred to as DL PRB) in the downlink time domain. Composed.

In this figure, one DL PRB is composed of 12 subcarriers (referred to as downlink subcarriers) in the downlink frequency domain, and 7 OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing in the time domain; (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbol. A downlink system band (referred to as a downlink system band) is a downlink communication band of the base station apparatus 3 or the RRH 4. For example, the downlink system bandwidth (referred to as downlink system bandwidth) is configured with a frequency bandwidth of 20 MHz.

In the downlink system band, a plurality of DL PRBs are arranged according to the downlink system bandwidth. For example, the downlink system band having a frequency bandwidth of 20 MHz is composed of 110 DL PRBs.

Further, in the time domain shown in this figure, a slot composed of 7 OFDM symbols (referred to as a downlink slot) and a subframe composed of two downlink slots (referred to as a downlink subframe). ) A unit composed of one downlink subcarrier and one OFDM symbol is called a resource element (RE: Resource) (downlink resource element). In each downlink subframe, at least a PDSCH used for transmission of information data (transport block; also called “Transport Block”) and a PDCCH used for transmission of control information are arranged. In this figure, the PDCCH is composed of the first to third OFDM symbols in the downlink subframe, and the PDSCH is composed of the fourth to fourteenth OFDM symbols in the downlink subframe. Note that the number of OFDM symbols constituting the PDCCH and the number of OFDM symbols constituting the PDSCH may be changed for each downlink subframe.

Although not shown in the figure, downlink pilot channels used for transmission of downlink reference signals (Reference signal: RS) (referred to as downlink reference signals) are distributed and arranged in a plurality of downlink resource elements. Is done. Here, the downlink reference signal includes at least different types of a first type reference signal, a second type reference signal, and a third type reference signal. For example, the downlink reference signal is used for estimation of PDSCH and PDCCH propagation path fluctuations. For example, the first type of reference signal is used for demodulation of PDSCH and PDCCH, and is also called Cell specific RS: CRS. For example, the second type of reference signal is used only for estimating propagation path fluctuations, and is also referred to as Channel State Information RS: CSI-RS. For example, the third type of reference signal is used for demodulation of PDSCH to which cooperative communication is applied, and is also referred to as UE specific RS. The downlink reference signal is a known signal in the communication system 1. Note that the number of downlink resource elements constituting the downlink reference signal may depend on the number of transmission antennas (antenna ports) used for communication to the mobile station apparatus 5 in the base station apparatus 3 and RRH4. In the following description, a case will be described in which CRS is used as the first type reference signal, CSI-RS is used as the second type reference signal, and UE specific RS is used as the third type reference signal. Note that the UE specific RS can also be used for demodulation of PDSCH to which cooperative communication is not applied.

PDCCH is information indicating DL PRB allocation to PDSCH, information indicating UL PRB allocation to PUSCH, mobile station identifier (referred to as Radio Network Temporary Identifier: RNTI), modulation scheme, coding rate, retransmission parameter, spatial multiplexing A signal generated from control information such as information indicating the number, precoding matrix, and transmission power control command (TPCTPcommand) is arranged. Control information included in the PDCCH is referred to as downlink control information (Downlink Control DCI). DCI including information indicating DL PRB assignment to PDSCH is referred to as downlink assignment (also referred to as “downlink assignment” or “DL assignment”), and DCI including information indicating UL PRB assignment to PUSCH is uplink. It is called Grant (Uplink grant: UL grant). Note that the downlink assignment includes a transmission power control command for PUCCH. The uplink assignment includes a transmission power control command for PUSCH. One PDCCH includes only information indicating resource allocation of one PDSCH, or information indicating resource allocation of one PUSCH, and information indicating resource allocation of a plurality of PDSCHs, It does not include information indicating PUSCH resource allocation.

Furthermore, as information transmitted on the PDCCH, there is a cyclic redundancy check CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) code. The relationship between DCI, RNTI, and CRC transmitted on the PDCCH will be described in detail. A CRC code is generated from DCI using a predetermined generator polynomial. The generated CRC code is subjected to exclusive OR (also referred to as scrambling) processing using RNTI. A signal obtained by modulating a bit indicating DCI and a bit (CRC masked by UE ID) generated by performing exclusive OR processing on the CRC code using RNTI is actually transmitted on PDCCH. Is done.

The PDSCH resource is arranged in the same downlink subframe as the downlink subframe in which the PDCCH resource including the downlink assignment used for the allocation of the PDSCH resource is arranged in the time domain.

Described below is the arrangement of downlink reference signals. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of an arrangement of downlink reference signals in a downlink subframe of the communication system 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. For simplification of explanation, FIG. 10 illustrates the arrangement of downlink reference signals in one PRB pair, but basically a common arrangement method is used in all PRB pairs in the downlink system band. .

Among the shaded downlink resource elements, R0 to R1 indicate CRS of antenna ports 0 to 1, respectively. Here, the antenna port means a logical antenna used in signal processing, and one antenna port may be composed of a plurality of physical antennas. A plurality of physical antennas constituting the same antenna port transmit the same signal. Although delay diversity or CDD (Cyclic Delay Delay) can be applied using a plurality of physical antennas within the same antenna port, other signal processing cannot be used. Here, FIG. 10 shows the case where the CRS corresponds to two antenna ports, but the communication system of the present embodiment may support different numbers of antenna ports, for example, one antenna port or four antenna ports. A CRS for an antenna port may be mapped to a downlink resource. The CRS is arranged in all DL PRBs in the downlink system band.

Among the downlink resource elements in the shaded area, D1 indicates the UE specific RS. When UE specific RS is transmitted using a plurality of antenna ports, different codes are used for each antenna port. That is, CDM (Code Division Multiplexing) is applied to UE specific RS. Here, the UE specific RS is the length of the code used for the CDM and the downlink to be mapped according to the type of signal processing (number of antenna ports) used for the control signal and data signal mapped to the PRB pair. The number of resource elements may be changed. For example, in the base station apparatus 3 and the RRH 4, when the number of antenna ports used for cooperative communication is two, using a code having a code length of 2, a time domain continuous in the same frequency domain (subcarrier) UE specific RSs are multiplexed and arranged with two downlink resource elements (OFDM symbols) as one unit (CDM unit). In other words, in this case, CDM is applied to multiplexing of UE specific RS. For example, when the number of antenna ports used for cooperative communication in the base station device 3 and the RRH 4 is 4, the number of downlink resource elements to which the UE specific RS is mapped is doubled, and each of the two antenna ports The UE specific RS is multiplexed and arranged on different downlink resource elements. In other words, in this case, CDM and FDM (Frequency Division Multiplexing) are applied to multiplexing of the UE specific RS. For example, when the number of antenna ports used for cooperative communication in the base station apparatus 3 and the RRH 4 is 8, the number of downlink resource elements to which the UE specific RS is mapped is doubled, and the code length is 4 UE specific RSs are multiplexed and arranged using four downlink resource elements as a unit. In other words, in this case, CDMs having different code lengths are applied to multiplexing of the UE specific RS.

Also, in the UE specific RS, a scramble code is further superimposed on the code of each antenna port. This scramble code is generated based on the cell ID and the scramble ID notified from the base station apparatus 3 and the RRH 4. For example, the scramble code is generated from a pseudo random sequence generated based on the cell ID and the scramble ID notified from the base station apparatus 3 and the RRH 4. For example, the scramble ID is a value indicating 0 or 1. Further, the scramble ID and the antenna port to be used can be jointly coded, and information indicating them can be indexed. The UE specific RS is arranged in the DL PRB of the PDSCH assigned to the mobile station apparatus 5 that is set to use the UE specific RS.

In addition, the base station apparatus 3 and the RRH 4 may assign a CRS signal to different downlink resource elements, or may assign a CRS signal to the same downlink resource element. For example, when the base station apparatus 3 and the RRH 4 allocate CRS signals to different resource elements and / or different signal sequences, the mobile station apparatus 5 uses the CRS to receive the received power (received signal power, received quality). ) Can be calculated individually. In particular, when the cell IDs notified from the base station apparatus 3 and the RRH 4 are different, the above-described setting is possible. In another example, only the base station apparatus 3 may assign a CRS signal to some downlink resource elements, and the RRH 4 may not assign a CRS signal to any downlink resource element. In this case, the mobile station device 5 can calculate the received power of the base station device 3 from the CRS. In particular, when the cell ID is notified only from the base station apparatus 3, the above-described setting is possible. In another example, when the base station apparatus 3 and the RRH 4 allocate a CRS signal to the same downlink resource element and transmit the same sequence from the base station apparatus 3 and the RRH 4, the mobile station apparatus 5 combines using the CRS. Received power can be calculated. In particular, when the cell IDs notified from the base station device 3 and the RRH 4 are the same, the above-described setting is possible.

In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, for example, calculating power includes calculating a power value, and calculating power includes calculating a power value, and measuring power. Includes measuring a power value, and reporting power includes reporting a power value. Thus, the expression “power” includes the meaning of the value of power as appropriate.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a DL PRB pair to which CSI-RS (transmission path condition measurement reference signal) for 8 antenna ports is mapped. FIG. 11 shows a case where CSI-RS is mapped when the number of antenna ports (number of CSI ports) used in base station apparatus 3 and RRH 4 is 8. In FIG. 11, descriptions of CRS, UE specific RS, PDCCH, PDSCH, and the like are omitted for simplification of description.

The CSI-RS uses a 2-chip orthogonal code (Walsh code) in each CDM group, and a CSI port (CSI-RS port (antenna port, resource grid)) is assigned to each orthogonal code. Code division multiplexing is performed for each port. Further, each CDM group is frequency division multiplexed. CSI-RSs of 8 antenna ports of CSI ports 1 to 8 (antenna ports 15 to 22) are mapped using four CDM groups. For example, in the CDM group C1 of CSI-RS, CSI-RSs of CSI ports 1 and 2 (antenna ports 15 and 16) are code division multiplexed and mapped. In CDM group C2 of CSI-RS, CSI-RSs of CSI ports 3 and 4 (antenna ports 17 and 18) are code division multiplexed and mapped. In CDM group C3 of CSI-RS, CSI-RS of CSI ports 5 and 6 (antenna ports 19 and 20) are code division multiplexed and mapped. In the CDM group C4 of CSI-RS, CSI-RSs of CSI ports 7 and 8 (antenna ports 21 and 22) are code division multiplexed and mapped.

When the number of antenna ports of the base station device 3 and the RRH 4 is 8, the base station device 3 and the RRH 4 can set the maximum number of layers (number of ranks, spatial multiplexing number) applied to the PDSCH to 8. Further, the base station device 3 and the RRH 4 can transmit CSI-RS when the number of antenna ports is 1, 2 or 4. The base station apparatus 3 and the RRH 4 can transmit CSI-RS for one antenna port or two antenna ports by using the CDM group C1 of CSI-RS shown in FIG. The base station apparatus 3 and the RRH 4 can transmit the CSI-RS for four antenna ports using the CDM groups C1 and C2 of the CSI-RS shown in FIG.

In addition, the base station apparatus 3 and the RRH 4 may assign a CSI-RS signal to different downlink resource elements, or may assign a CSI-RS signal to the same downlink resource element. For example, when the base station apparatus 3 and the RRH 4 allocate different downlink resource elements and / or different signal sequences to the CSI-RS, the mobile station apparatus 5 uses the CSI-RS to transmit the base station apparatus 3 and the RRH 4 Each received power (received signal power, received quality) and each propagation path state can be calculated individually. In the mobile station apparatus 5, the CSI-RS transmitted from the base station apparatus 3 and the CSI-RS transmitted from the RRH 4 are recognized as CSI-RSs corresponding to different antenna ports. In this case, in the mobile station device 5, the base station device 3 is instructed to individually measure and calculate the received power of the CSI-RS corresponding to each antenna port, and each CSI-RS is actually Whether it is transmitted from the base station apparatus 3 or RRH4 does not have to be clearly recognized. In another example, when the base station apparatus and the RRH4 allocate the same downlink resource element to the CSI-RS and transmit the same sequence from the base station apparatus 3 and the RRH4, the mobile station apparatus 5 uses the CSI-RS. The combined received power can be calculated. Also, different RRHs 4 may assign CSI-RS signals to different downlink resource elements, respectively. For example, when each different RRH4 assigns a different downlink resource element and / or different signal sequence to the CSI-RS, the mobile station device 5 uses the CSI-RS to receive each received power (received signal) of the different RRH4. Power, reception quality) and respective propagation path states can be calculated individually.

The configuration of CSI-RS (CSI-RS-Config-r10) is notified from the base station device 3 and RRH 4 to the mobile station device 5. The configuration of the CSI-RS includes information indicating the number of antenna ports set in the CSI-RS (antennaPortsCount-r10), information indicating a downlink subframe in which the CSI-RS is arranged (subframeConfig-r10), CSI-RS Information (ResourceConfig-r10) indicating a frequency region where the RS is arranged is included at least. For example, any one of 1, 2, 4, and 8 is used as the number of antenna ports. As information indicating the frequency region in which the CSI-RS is allocated, an index indicating the position of the first resource element is used among the resource elements in which the CSI-RS corresponding to the antenna port 15 (CSI port 1) is allocated. . If the position of the CSI-RS corresponding to the antenna port 15 is determined, the CSI-RS corresponding to the other antenna port is uniquely determined based on a predetermined rule. As information indicating the downlink subframe in which the CSI-RS is arranged, the position and period of the downlink subframe in which the CSI-RS is arranged are indicated by an index. For example, if the index of subframeConfig-r10 is 5, it indicates that CSI-RS is arranged for every 10 subframes, and subframe 0 (subframe in the radio frame) Indicates that the CSI-RS is arranged. Further, in another example, for example, if the index of subframeConfig-r10 is 1, it indicates that CSI-RS is arranged every 5 subframes, and in a radio frame in units of 10 subframes, 6 shows that CSI-RS is arranged.

In the embodiment of the present invention, it is mainly assumed that only RRH4 transmits CSI-RS corresponding to at least a specific antenna port. This includes the case where only RRH4 transmits CSI-RS corresponding to all antenna ports of CSI-RS. When only the RRH 4 transmits CSI-RSs corresponding to some antenna ports, the CSI-RSs corresponding to other antenna ports may be transmitted only from the base station apparatus 3, and the base station apparatus 3 and the RRH 4 Both may be transmitted (SFN transmission). The CRS may be transmitted only from the base station apparatus 3, or may be transmitted from both the base station apparatus 3 and the RRH 4 (SFN transmission).

Although details will be described later, the mobile station apparatus 5 receives the CSI-RS of a specific antenna port transmitted only by the RRH 4, measures the path loss for the RRH 4, and sets the measured path loss for the transmission power of the uplink signal. Used for. Thereby, it is possible to set transmission power suitable for the case where the signal receiving destination is RRH4. Further, the mobile station apparatus 5 receives an RS (CRS or CSI-RS) transmitted only by the base station apparatus 3, measures the path loss to the base station apparatus 3, and transmits the measured path loss to the uplink signal. You may make it use for the setting of electric power. Thereby, it is possible to set transmission power suitable for the case where the signal receiving destination is the base station apparatus 3. Also, the mobile station apparatus 5 receives RS (CRS or CSI-RS) transmitted by both the base station apparatus 3 and the RRH 4, measures the path loss from the signal obtained by combining both signals, and calculates the measured path loss. You may make it use for the setting of the transmission power of the signal of an uplink. Thereby, when the signal receiving destination is the base station apparatus 3 or RRH4, it is possible to set transmission power suitable to some extent. In this way, by setting the transmission power suitable for the signal receiving destination, it is possible to improve the efficiency of the communication system while suppressing the interference given to other signals while satisfying the required quality of the signal. .

In the embodiment of the present invention, as described above, the mobile station apparatus 5 measures a plurality of path losses from different types of downlink reference signals, and uses any one path loss or each path loss. A communication system that controls transmission power of uplink signals is mainly assumed. For example, a communication system in which the mobile station apparatus 5 measures a plurality of path losses from CRS and CSI-RS and controls the transmission power of uplink signals using any one path loss is mainly assumed. Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present invention, as described above, the mobile station apparatus 5 is a downlink reference signal of the same type but transmitted from different transmission apparatuses (base station apparatus 3, RRH4). A communication system is mainly assumed in which a plurality of path losses are measured for a reference signal, and the transmission power of an uplink signal is controlled using any one path loss or each path loss. For example, the mobile station apparatus 5 measures a plurality of path losses from a CSI-RS corresponding to a certain antenna port and a CSI-RS corresponding to an antenna port different from the antenna port, and uses any one path loss. A communication system that controls transmission power of uplink signals is mainly assumed.

Also, the embodiment of the present invention assumes a communication system in which path loss can be set independently for each physical channel with respect to path loss applied to uplink transmission power control. For example, different path loss is set for PUCCH transmission power control and PUSCH transmission power control. For example, a path loss measured from CRS is set for transmission power control of PUCCH, and a path loss measured from CSI-RS is set for transmission power control of PUSCH. For example, a path loss measured from CSI-RS is set for PUCCH transmission power control, and a path loss measured from CRS is set for PUSCH transmission power control. For example, path loss measured from CSI-RSs corresponding to different antenna ports is set for PUCCH transmission power control and PUSCH transmission power control, respectively. For example, the same path loss is set for PUCCH transmission power control and PUSCH transmission power control. For example, path loss measured from the same CRS is set for PUCCH transmission power control and PUSCH transmission power control. For example, path loss measured from the same CSI-RS is set for PUCCH transmission power control and PUSCH transmission power control. For example, the path loss measured from the CSI-RS of the same antenna port is set for PUCCH transmission power control and PUSCH transmission power control.

Note that information regarding the CSI-RS antenna port transmitted only by the RRH 4 is notified to the mobile station apparatus 5. Based on the notified information, the mobile station apparatus 5 can measure the path loss for the signal transmitted from the RRH 4. In the following description, for simplification of explanation, a case will be described in which CRS is basically transmitted only from base station apparatus 3 and CSI-RS is transmitted only from RRH4. Therefore, in the following description, the path loss measured based on the CRS is for a signal transmitted from the base station apparatus 3, and the path loss measured based on the CSI-RS is a signal transmitted from the RRH 4. Means that For simplification of description, the embodiment of the present invention is only described for such a communication system, and the following description does not limit the present invention. The present invention can also be applied to a communication system transmitted from both RRH4, a communication system in which only CSI-RS of a specific antenna port is transmitted from only RRH4, and the like.

Note that information on CRS transmission power and CSI-RS transmission power is notified from the base station apparatus 3 and RRH 4 to the mobile station apparatus 5 using RRC signaling. Although details will be described later, the mobile station apparatus 5 measures (calculates) a path loss from each type of downlink reference signal using the notified transmission power of each type of downlink reference signal.

In the description of the embodiment of the present invention, the expression “transmission power” includes the meaning of the transmission power value as appropriate. For example, setting transmission power includes setting a value of transmission power. For example, controlling the transmission power includes controlling the value of the transmission power.

<Configuration of uplink time frame>
FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of an uplink time frame from the mobile station apparatus 5 to the base station apparatus 3 and the RRH 4 according to the embodiment of the present invention. In this figure, the horizontal axis represents the time domain, and the vertical axis represents the frequency domain. An uplink time frame is a unit for resource allocation and the like, and is a pair of physical resource blocks (uplink physical resource block pair; UL PRB pair) consisting of a frequency band and a time zone of a predetermined width of the uplink. ). One UL PRB pair is composed of two uplink PRBs (uplink physical resource block; referred to as UL PRB) that are continuous in the uplink time domain.

Also, in this figure, one UL PRB is composed of 12 subcarriers (referred to as uplink subcarriers) in the uplink frequency domain, and 7 SC-FDMA (Single-Carrier) in the time domain. Frequency (Division (Multiple Access) symbol). An uplink system band (referred to as an uplink system band) is an uplink communication band of the base station apparatus 3 and the RRH 4. The uplink system bandwidth (referred to as an uplink system bandwidth) is composed of a frequency bandwidth of 20 MHz, for example.

In the uplink system band, a plurality of UL PRBs are arranged according to the uplink system bandwidth. For example, the uplink system band having a frequency bandwidth of 20 MHz is composed of 110 UL PRBs. In the time domain shown in this figure, a slot composed of seven SC-FDMA symbols (referred to as an uplink slot) and a subframe composed of two uplink slots (uplink subframe and Called). A unit composed of one uplink subcarrier and one SC-FDMA symbol is called a resource element (uplink resource element).

Each uplink subframe includes at least PUSCH used for transmission of information data, PUCCH used for transmission of uplink control information (UCI: Uplink Control Information), and demodulation of PUSCH and PUCCH (estimation of propagation path fluctuation). UL RS (DM RS) is placed. Although not shown, a PRACH used for establishing uplink synchronization is arranged in any uplink subframe. Although not shown in the figure, UL RS (SRS) used for measuring channel quality, synchronization deviation, etc. is arranged in any uplink subframe. Whether the PUCCH requests an acknowledgment (ACK: Acknowledgement) or a negative acknowledgment (NACK: Negative Acknowledgement) for data received using the PDSCH, and whether to request allocation of uplink resources. It is used to transmit at least UCI (SR: “Scheduling Request”) and UCI (CQI: “Channel Quality Indicator”) indicating downlink reception quality (also referred to as channel quality).

In addition, when the mobile station apparatus 5 indicates to the base station apparatus 3 that the allocation of uplink resources is requested, the mobile station apparatus 5 transmits a signal using the PUCCH for SR transmission. The base station apparatus 3 recognizes that the mobile station apparatus 5 is requesting uplink resource allocation from the result of detecting a signal using the PUCCH resource for transmission of the SR. When the mobile station apparatus 5 indicates to the base station apparatus 3 that it does not request allocation of uplink resources, the mobile station apparatus 5 does not transmit any signal using the PUCCH resources for transmission of the SR allocated in advance. The base station apparatus 3 recognizes that the mobile station apparatus 5 does not request uplink resource allocation from the result that the signal is not detected by the PUCCH resource for transmission of the SR.

Also, different types of signal configurations are used for PUCCH depending on whether a UCI consisting of ACK / NACK is transmitted, a UCI consisting of SR, or a UCI consisting of CQI is transmitted. PUCCH used for transmission of ACK / NACK is called PUCCH format 1a or PUCCH format 1b. In PUCCH format 1a, BPSK (binary phase shift keying; Binary Phase Shift Keying) is used as a modulation method for modulating information about ACK / NACK. In PUCCH format 1a, 1-bit information is indicated from the modulation signal. PUCCH format 1b uses QPSK (Quadrature Shift Phase Key Shift) as a modulation method for modulating information about ACK / NACK. In PUCCH format 1b, 2-bit information is indicated from the modulation signal. The PUCCH used for SR transmission is called PUCCH format 1. The PUCCH used for CQI transmission is referred to as PUCCH format 2. The PUCCH used for simultaneous transmission of CQI and ACK / NACK is referred to as PUCCH format 2a or PUCCH format 2b. In PUCCH format 2b, the reference signal (DM RS) of the uplink pilot channel is multiplied by a modulation signal generated from ACK / NACK information. In PUCCH format 2a, 1-bit information about ACK / NACK and CQI information are transmitted. In PUCCH format 2b, 2-bit information on ACK / NACK and CQI information are transmitted.

One PUSCH is composed of one or more UL PRBs, and one PUCCH is symmetrical in the frequency domain within the uplink system band, and is composed of two UL PRBs located in different uplink slots. One PRACH is composed of 6 UL PRB pairs. For example, in FIG. 12, the UL PRB having the lowest frequency in the first uplink slot and the UL PRB having the highest frequency in the second uplink slot in the uplink subframe are used for the PUCCH. One PRB pair is configured. In addition, when the mobile station apparatus 5 is set not to perform simultaneous transmission of PUSCH and PUCCH, when the PUCCH resource and the PUSCH resource are allocated in the same uplink subframe, only the PUSCH resource is allocated. To send a signal. In addition, when the mobile station apparatus 5 is set to perform simultaneous transmission of PUSCH and PUCCH, when PUCCH resources and PUSCH resources are allocated in the same uplink subframe, the PUCCH resources are basically allocated. And PUSCH resources can be used for signal transmission.

UL RS is a signal used for an uplink pilot channel. UL RS is a demodulation reference signal (DM RS: Demodulation Reference 用い Signal) used to estimate PUSCH and PUCCH propagation path fluctuations, and channel quality measurement for base station apparatus 3 and RSCH4 PUSCH frequency scheduling and adaptive modulation. , The base station apparatus 3, and the sounding reference signal (SRS: Sounding Reference Signal) used for measuring the synchronization deviation between the RRH 4 and the mobile station device 5. DM RSs are arranged in different SC-FDMA symbols depending on whether they are arranged in the same UL PRB as PUSCH or in the same UL PRB as PUCCH. The DM RS is a signal known in the communication system 1 that is used for estimating propagation path fluctuations of PUSCH and PUCCH.

When the DM RS is arranged in the same UL PRB as the PUSCH, it is arranged in the fourth SC-FDMA symbol in the uplink slot. When the DM RS is arranged in the same UL PRB as the PUCCH including ACK / NACK, the DM RS is arranged in the third, fourth, and fifth SC-FDMA symbols in the uplink slot. When the DM RS is arranged in the same UL PRB as the PUCCH including the SR, the DM RS is arranged in the third, fourth, and fifth SC-FDMA symbols in the uplink slot. When the DM RS is arranged in the same UL PRB as the PUCCH including the CQI, it is arranged in the second and sixth SC-FDMA symbols in the uplink slot.

The SRS is arranged in the UL PRB determined by the base station apparatus 3, and the 14th SC-FDMA symbol in the uplink subframe (the 7th SC-FDMA symbol in the second uplink slot of the uplink subframe) ). The SRS can be arranged only in the uplink subframe (survey reference signal subframe; referred to as “SRS subframe”) having a period determined by the base station apparatus 3 in the cell. For the SRS subframe, the base station apparatus 3 allocates a UL PRB to be allocated to the SRS, a period for transmitting the SRS for each mobile station apparatus 5.

FIG. 12 shows the case where the PUCCH is arranged in the UL PRB at the end in the frequency region of the uplink system band, but the second and third UL PRBs from the end of the uplink system band are used for the PUCCH. May be.

Note that code multiplexing in the frequency domain and code multiplexing in the time domain are used in the PUCCH. Code multiplexing in the frequency domain is processed by multiplying each code of the code sequence by a modulated signal modulated from uplink control information in subcarrier units. Code multiplexing in the time domain is processed by multiplying each code of the code sequence by the modulated signal modulated from the uplink control information in units of SC-FDMA symbols. A plurality of PUCCHs are arranged in the same UL PRB, and different codes are assigned to the respective PUCCHs, and code multiplexing is realized in the frequency domain or time domain by the assigned codes. In PUCCH (referred to as PUCCH （format 1a or PUCCH format 1b) used to transmit ACK / NACK, code multiplexing in the frequency domain and time domain is used. In PUCCH used to transmit SR (referred to as PUCCH format 用い 1), code multiplexing in the frequency domain and time domain is used. In PUCCH (referred to as PUCCH format 2 or PUCCH format 2a or PUCCH format 2b) used for transmitting CQI, code multiplexing in the frequency domain is used. For simplification of description, description of the contents related to PUCCH code multiplexing is omitted as appropriate.

The PUSCH resource is an uplink subframe after a predetermined number (for example, 4) from the downlink subframe in which the PDCCH resource including the uplink grant used for allocation of the PUSCH resource is allocated in the time domain. Placed in.

<Addition of path loss measurement based on CSI-RS>
The mobile station device 5 calculates (measures) the path loss based on the CRS. In addition, the mobile station apparatus 5 additionally calculates (measures) the path loss based on the CSI-RS. The mobile station apparatus 5 calculates uplink transmission power based on the calculated path loss, and transmits an uplink signal with the calculated uplink transmission power. The base station apparatus 3 sets a parameter (configuration) related to the measurement of the downlink reference signal for the mobile station apparatus 5. In the initial state (default state), the mobile station apparatus 5 calculates a path loss based on the CRS, and calculates an uplink transmission power value using the calculated path loss. In the initial state, the mobile station apparatus 5 performs path loss calculation based on the CRS of the antenna port 0 or the CRSs of the antenna ports 0 and 1.

When the base station apparatus 3 determines that it is necessary (for example, when it is determined that the mobile station apparatus 5 is close to RRH4), it additionally calculates a path loss based on the CSI-RS and uses it for uplink transmission power. The mobile station apparatus 5 is set so that it can be used. Specifically, the base station device 3 performs addition change (re-setting, reconfiguration) of the path loss reference of the mobile station device 5. For example, this change is made using RRC signaling. The path loss reference means a measurement object used for path loss calculation, and is CRS or CSI-RS. Here, the base station apparatus 3 can specify the CSI-RS antenna port used by the mobile station apparatus 5 for path loss calculation, and the mobile station apparatus 5 can specify the CSI- of the antenna port specified by the base station apparatus 3. The path loss is calculated based on the RS. Here, the antenna port designated by the mobile station device 5 from the base station device 3 may be one antenna port, a plurality of antenna ports, or all antenna ports. Good. The base station apparatus 3 controls the mobile station apparatus 5 so as to transmit the uplink signal with the transmission power calculated using the path loss measured based on the CRS. The base station apparatus 3 controls the mobile station apparatus 5 so as to transmit the uplink signal with the transmission power calculated using the path loss measured based on the CSI-RS. Further, when it is determined that the base station apparatus 3 is necessary, the base station apparatus 3 performs setting for the mobile station apparatus 5 so as to stop measuring the path loss based on the CSI-RS. This operation can be performed for a state in which the mobile station device 5 is calculating a path loss based on the CSI-RS.

The base station apparatus 3 can set a path loss reference for each physical channel independently for the mobile station apparatus 5 with respect to the path loss applied to uplink transmission power control. For example, the base station apparatus 3 sets different path loss references for the PUCCH transmission power control and the PUSCH transmission power control for the mobile station apparatus 5. For example, the base station apparatus 3 sets CRS as a path loss reference for PUCCH transmission power control and sets CSI-RS as a path loss reference for PUSCH transmission power control for the mobile station apparatus 5. For example, the base station apparatus 3 sets CSI-RS as a path loss reference for PUCCH transmission power control and sets CRS as a path loss reference for PUSCH transmission power control for the mobile station apparatus 5. For example, the base station apparatus 3 sets CSI-RSs corresponding to different antenna ports as path loss references for the PUCCH transmission power control and the PUSCH transmission power control for the mobile station apparatus 5. For example, the base station apparatus 3 sets the same path loss reference for the PUCCH transmission power control and the PUSCH transmission power control for the mobile station apparatus 5. For example, the base station apparatus 3 sets the same CRS as the path loss reference for the PUCCH transmission power control and the PUSCH transmission power control for the mobile station apparatus 5. For example, the base station apparatus 3 sets the same CSI-RS as the path loss reference for the PUCCH transmission power control and the PUSCH transmission power control for the mobile station apparatus 5. For example, the base station apparatus 3 sets the CSI-RS of the same antenna port as the path loss reference for the PUCCH transmission power control and the PUSCH transmission power control for the mobile station apparatus 5.

Since the path loss calculation requires the value of the transmission power of the downlink reference signal, information on the CRS transmission power value and information on the CSI-RS transmission power value are transmitted from the base station apparatus 3 to the mobile station. The device 5 is notified.

<Power Headroom Reporting>
Power Headroom Reporting (Power Headroom Reporting) is information on the difference between the nominal UE maximum transmit power and the estimated transmit power for the PUSCH (Power Headroom). 3. Procedure for providing to RRH4. As a processing hierarchy, RRC (Radio Resource Control) controls power headroom reporting, configures two timers (periodicPHR-Timer and prohibitPHR-Timer) for control, and signals a certain parameter (dl-PathlossChange). A series of processes for determining power headroom transmission is referred to as power headroom transmission processing. Power headroom transmission processing is executed (controlled) for each path loss reference.

Dl-PathlossChange is a parameter for performing transmission of the power headroom when the path loss value changes. The amount of change between the path loss measured when the power headroom is last transmitted and the path loss measured at the present time is used for threshold determination with dl-PathlossChange. Threshold determination using dl-PathlossChange is performed, and when the measured change amount of path loss exceeds the value of dl-PathlossChange, the power headroom reporting process is started (driven) (triggered). The value of dl-PathlossChange is expressed in dB, and for example, any value of 1 dB, 3 dB, 6 dB, or infinity (Infinity) is used.

PeriodicPHR-Timer is a timer used to transmit power headroom periodically to some extent. When the periodicPHR-Timer is finished, the power headroom reporting process is started. When the power headroom is transmitted, the periodical PHR-Timer being measured is once reset and restarted. The value of periodicPHR-Timer is expressed by the number of subframes as a unit. For example, 10 subframes, 20 subframes, 50 subframes, 100 subframes, 200 subframes, 500 subframes, 1000 subframes, infinite (Infinity) Any of these values is used.

ProhibitPHR-Timer is a timer used to prevent transmission of power headroom more frequently than necessary. While the preventPHR-Timer is not finished and the measured path loss change amount exceeds the value of dl-PathlossChange during the measurement, the power headroom reporting process is not started. When the preventPHR-Timer is finished, the power headroom reporting process can be started by dl-PathlossChange. When transmission of the power headroom is performed, the preventPHR-Timer being measured is once reset and restarted. The value of prohibitPHR-Timer is expressed as the number of subframes as a unit. For example, 0 subframe, 10 subframe, 20 subframe, 50 subframe, 100 subframe, 200 subframe, 500 subframe, 1000 subframe Either value is used.

The parameters of periodicPHR-Timer, prohibitPHR-Timer, and dl-PathlossChange are notified from the base station apparatus 3 and RRH4 to the mobile station apparatus 5 using the RRC signaling structure phr-Config. Once phr-Config is initialized (configuration of power headroom reporting functionality) or reconfigured (reconfiguration of power headroom reporting functionality), the power headroom reporting process can be triggered.

The power headroom consists of a first type report and a second type report. In the first type of report, power headroom is calculated assuming only PUSCH transmission in a certain uplink subframe. In the second type of report, power headroom is calculated assuming simultaneous transmission of PUSCH and PUCCH in an uplink subframe.

The value of the first type report is the difference between the transmission power value configured in advance in the mobile station device 5 and the transmission power value of the desired PUSCH. A desired PUSCH transmission power value is calculated using a predetermined formula (algorithm) using parameters used for transmission power control. For example, the desired PUSCH transmission power value is set to satisfy the required quality. As the transmission power value of the PUSCH actually transmitted, a smaller value is used by comparing the transmission power value configured in advance in the mobile station apparatus 5 with the transmission power value of the desired PUSCH. The transmission power value configured in advance in the mobile station apparatus 5 is the transmission power value set in advance for the mobile station apparatus 5 by the base station apparatus 3 or RRH 4 or the upper limit of the allowable transmission power as the apparatus capability of the mobile station apparatus 5. Value. For example, the device capability corresponds to the power amplifier class. The value of the power headroom (first type report, second type report) is expressed in 1 dB steps within the range of [40; -23] dB.

The value of the second type report is a difference between the transmission power value configured in advance in the mobile station device 5, the transmission power value of the desired PUSCH, and the transmission power value of the desired PUCCH. A desired PUCCH transmission power value is calculated using a predetermined formula (algorithm) using parameters used for transmission power control. For example, the desired PUCCH transmission power value is set to satisfy the required quality. The transmission power values of PUSCH and PUCCH that are actually transmitted at the same time are compared with the transmission power value configured in advance in the mobile station device 5 and the total value of the transmission power value of the desired PUSCH and the transmission power value of the desired PUCCH. Therefore, a small value is used.

In the mobile station apparatus 5, the path loss used for PUSCH transmission power control is set by the base station apparatus 3 and RRH4 (configured, changed, reconfigured, reconfigured, rechanged ), It may be determined that the power headroom reporting process is started, and the power headroom may be in a transmission standby state. The transmission standby state can be said to be a state in which transmission of the power headroom is triggered. When the mobile station apparatus 5 in the transmission standby state allocates PUSCH resources for new transmission from the base station apparatus 3 and RRH 4 except for retransmission, the power head uses the PUSCH or PUSCH and PUCCH to which the resources are allocated. Send a signal containing room information. In the first embodiment, the path loss used for PUSCH transmission power control is a path loss calculated based on CRS or a path loss calculated based on CSI-RS.

The calculation of the value of the first type report as the power headroom is basically performed based on the transmission power value set in the PUSCH used for transmission of the power headroom. Exactly, it is the transmission power value of the above-mentioned desired PUSCH that is used for the calculation of the first type of report as the power headroom. When the transmission power value of the desired PUSCH described above is smaller than the transmission power value configured in advance in the mobile station apparatus 5, the transmission power value of the PUSCH used for transmission of the power headroom is the transmission power value of the desired PUSCH. . When the transmission power value of the desired PUSCH described above is larger than the transmission power value configured in advance in the mobile station apparatus 5, the transmission power value of PUSCH used for power headroom transmission is configured in the mobile station apparatus 5 in advance. This is the transmission power value. A target used for path loss measurement is referred to as a path loss reference. The path loss used for the calculation of the uplink transmission power value is calculated from the set path loss reference. That is, the power headroom value is calculated based on the path loss calculated from the set path loss reference.

The calculation of the value of the second type report as the power headroom is basically based on the transmission power value set for the PUSCH used for power headroom transmission and the transmission power set for the PUCCH transmitted simultaneously with the PUSCH. Based on the value. More precisely, the transmission power value of the above-mentioned desired PUSCH and the transmission power value of the desired PUCCH described later are used as the power headroom for the calculation of the second type of report. When the sum of the transmission power value of the desired PUSCH described above and the transmission power value of the desired PUCCH described later is smaller than the transmission power value configured in advance in the mobile station device 5, the PUSCH used for power headroom transmission The transmission power value is the transmission power value of the desired PUSCH, and the transmission power value of the PUCCH transmitted simultaneously with the PUSCH is the transmission power value of the desired PUCCH. When the sum of the transmission power value of the desired PUSCH described above and the transmission power value of the desired PUCCH described later is larger than the transmission power value configured in advance in the mobile station device 5, the PUSCH used for transmission of the power headroom The transmission power value is a value obtained by subtracting the transmission power value of the desired PUCCH from the transmission power value configured in advance in the mobile station apparatus 5, and the transmission power value of the PUCCH transmitted simultaneously with the PUSCH is the transmission power value of the desired PUCCH. Become.

For example, when the path loss reference of path loss used for PUSCH transmission power control is switched from CRS to CSI-RS, the mobile station apparatus 5 may enter a power headroom transmission standby state. For example, the mobile station apparatus 5 may be in a power headroom transmission standby state when the path loss reference of path loss used for PUSCH transmission power control is switched from CSI-RS to CRS. When the path loss reference for transmission power control of PUSCH is reset and the power headroom is in a transmission standby state, the power headroom to be transmitted is either the first type report or the second type report. It is. When the path loss reference for PUSCH transmission power control is reset and the power headroom is in a transmission standby state, the mobile station apparatus 5 is the first power headroom when simultaneous transmission of PUCCH and PUSCH is not configured. If the simultaneous transmission of PUCCH and PUSCH is configured, the second type of report is transmitted as power headroom.

On the other hand, in the mobile station apparatus 5, the path loss used for PUCCH transmission power control is set by the base station apparatus 3 and RRH4 (configured, changed, reconfigured, reconfigured, rechanged If the simultaneous transmission of PUSCH and PUCCH is configured, it may be determined that the power headroom reporting process is started and the power headroom may be in a transmission standby state, and the simultaneous transmission of PUSCH and PUCCH may be performed. If it is not configured, it is not determined that the power headroom reporting process is started, and the power headroom may not be in a transmission standby state.

For example, when the path loss reference of path loss used for PUCCH transmission power control is switched from CRS to CSI-RS, the mobile station device 5 is configured to control the power headroom when simultaneous transmission of PUSCH and PUCCH is configured. It may be in a transmission standby state, and when simultaneous transmission of PUSCH and PUCCH is not configured, it does not have to be in a transmission standby state of the power headroom. For example, when the path loss reference of path loss used for PUSCH transmission power control is switched from CSI-RS to CRS, the mobile station apparatus 5 is configured to control the power headroom when simultaneous transmission of PUSCH and PUCCH is configured. It may be in a transmission standby state, and when simultaneous transmission of PUSCH and PUCCH is not configured, it does not have to be in a transmission standby state of the power headroom. When the path loss reference for the transmission power control of PUCCH is reset and the power headroom enters a transmission standby state, the transmitted power headroom is a second type report. When the path loss reference for PUCCH transmission power control is reset and the power headroom is in a transmission standby state, the mobile station apparatus 5 is the first power headroom when simultaneous transmission of PUCCH and PUSCH is not configured. If the simultaneous transmission of PUCCH and PUSCH is configured, the second type of report is transmitted as power headroom.

When the PUCCH path loss reference is reset, the mobile station apparatus 5 determines whether to drive the power headroom reporting process according to whether simultaneous transmission of PUCCH and PUSCH is configured. Also good. If the PUCCH path loss reference is reset, the mobile station apparatus 5 may determine to drive the power headroom reporting process when simultaneous transmission of PUCCH and PUSCH is configured. If transmission is configured, there is no need to decide to drive the power headroom reporting process.

When the mobile station device 5 in the power headroom transmission standby state is assigned the PUSCH resource for new transmission, the mobile station device 5 in the power headroom in the transmission standby state using the PUSCH to which the resource is assigned is assigned. Send a signal containing information.

Details of power headroom reporting according to the first embodiment will be described. The mobile station apparatus 5 is set with a plurality of parameters related to power headroom reporting. For example, multiple dl-PathlossChanges are set for the path loss (first path loss) used for setting the transmission power for PUSCH and the path loss (second path loss) used for setting the transmission power for PUCCH. The The mobile station apparatus 5 determines the trigger for the overall power headroom reporting process using dl-PathlossChange for the first path loss and the second path loss. The mobile station apparatus 5 determines the trigger for the reporting process of the entire power headroom using dl-PathlossChange for the first path loss when the mobile station apparatus is not configured to simultaneously transmit PUCCH and PUSCH. To do. When the mobile station apparatus is configured to simultaneously transmit PUCCH and PUSCH, the mobile station apparatus 5 uses the dl-PathlossChange for each of the first path loss and the second path loss to Determine the trigger for the room reporting process. If the mobile station apparatus 5 is not configured to simultaneously transmit PUCCH and PUSCH, the mobile station apparatus 5 performs the power headroom reporting process when the amount of change in the first path loss is greater than the value of dl-PathlossChange. Judge to start. When the mobile station apparatus 5 is configured to simultaneously transmit PUCCH and PUSCH in the mobile station apparatus, the change amount of the first path loss or the change amount of the second path loss is greater than the value of dl-PathlossChange. In this case, it is determined that the power headroom reporting process is started. The same value may be set for each of the dl-PathlossChange used for the first path loss and the dl-PathlossChange used for the second path loss, or different values may be set for each. May be. The path loss change amount is the change amount between the path loss measured at the time when the power headroom using the corresponding path loss is transmitted and the path loss measured at the present time. Absent.

In addition, the mobile station apparatus 5 uses a single periodicPHR-Timer. The mobile station apparatus 5 uses a single periodicPHR-Timer for the powerheadroom transmission process, and controls to transmit the powerheadroom when the periodicPHR-Timer expires.

For example, the path loss (second path loss) used for setting PUCCH transmission power is calculated from CRS, and the path loss (first path loss) used for setting PUSCH transmission power is calculated from CSI-RS. . For example, the path loss (second path loss) used for setting the PUCCH transmission power is calculated from CSI-RS, and the path loss (first path loss) used for setting the PUSCH transmission power is calculated from CRS. . For example, the path loss (second path loss) used for setting the PUCCH transmission power is calculated from the CRS, and the path loss (first path loss) used for setting the PUSCH transmission power is calculated from the CRS. For example, the path loss (second path loss) used for setting the PUCCH transmission power is calculated from CSI-RS, and the path loss (first path loss) used for setting the PUSCH transmission power is calculated from CSI-RS. Is done. When the first path loss and the second path loss are calculated from the same downlink reference signal, the power headroom reporting process start determination process using dl-PathlossChange is performed as one common process. It is.

Dl-PathlossChange corresponding to the path loss (first path loss) used for setting the PUSCH transmission power is changed to dl-PathlossChange 1 (first dl-PathlossChange) (first threshold) and PUCCH transmission power setting. The dl-PathlossChange corresponding to the used path loss (second path loss) is set to dl-PathlossChange 3 (second dl-PathlossChange) (second threshold). A single periodicPHR-Timer is referred to as periodicPHR-Timer20. A single prohibitPHR-Timer is designated as prohibitPHR-Timer 400. When periodicPHR-Timer 20 expires, the power headroom enters a transmission standby state. When the power headroom in the transmission standby state is transmitted, the periodicPHR-Timer 20 and the prohibitPHR-Timer 400 are reset (restarted), and measurement is started again. When prohibitPHR-Timer 400 is measuring (before the timer expires), transmission of power headroom based on threshold judgment using dl-PathlossChange is prohibited. dl-PathlossChange 1 is used for threshold determination with the amount of change in path loss (first path loss) used for setting the transmission power of PUSCH. dl-PathlossChange 3 is used for threshold determination with the amount of change in the path loss (second path loss) used for setting the transmission power of the PUCCH. When the mobile station apparatus 5 is not configured to simultaneously transmit PUCCH and PUSCH, processing using dl-PathlossChange 1 is performed. When simultaneous transmission of PUCCH and PUSCH is not configured in the mobile station apparatus 5, the amount of change in the path loss (first path loss) used for setting the PUSCH transmission power is greater than the value of dl-PathlossChange 1 It is determined that the power headroom reporting process is started in the case of When the mobile station apparatus 5 is configured to simultaneously transmit PUCCH and PUSCH, processing using dl-PathlossChange 1 and dl-PathlossChange 3 is performed. When the mobile station apparatus 5 is configured to simultaneously transmit PUCCH and PUSCH, the amount of change in the path loss (first path loss) used for setting the PUSCH transmission power is greater than the value of dl-PathlossChange 1 Or when the change amount of the path loss (second path loss) used for setting the transmission power of the PUCCH becomes larger than the value of dl-PathlossChange 3, it is determined that the power headroom reporting process is started. . Note that the same value may be set for dl-PathlossChange 1 and dl-PathlossChange 3. It is determined that the power headroom reporting process is started, and the power headroom enters a transmission standby state.

Also, as shown in this figure, the physical downlink shared channel processing unit 201 includes a turbo encoding unit 219, a data modulation unit 221 and a precoding processing unit 229, respectively. Also, as shown in this figure, the physical downlink control channel processing unit 203 includes a convolutional coding unit 223, a QPSK modulation unit 225, and a precoding processing unit 227. The physical downlink shared channel processing unit 201 performs baseband signal processing for transmitting information data to the mobile station apparatus 5 by the OFDM method. The turbo encoding unit 219 performs turbo encoding for increasing the error tolerance of the data at the encoding rate input from the control unit 105 and outputs the input information data to the data modulation unit 221. The data modulation unit 221 uses the data encoded by the turbo coding unit 219 as a modulation method input from the control unit 105, for example, QPSK (quadrature phase shift keying; Quadrature Phase Shift Keying), 16QAM (16-value quadrature amplitude modulation). Modulation is performed using a modulation scheme such as 16 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) or 64QAM (64-value quadrature amplitude modulation; 64 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) to generate a signal sequence of modulation symbols. The data modulation unit 221 outputs the generated signal sequence to the precoding processing unit 229.

The GI insertion unit 211 generates a baseband digital signal including symbols in the OFDM scheme by adding a guard interval to the signal modulated by the OFDM scheme by the IFFT unit 209. As is well known, the guard interval is generated by duplicating a part of the head or tail of the OFDM symbol to be transmitted. The GI insertion unit 211 outputs the generated baseband digital signal to the D / A unit 213. The D / A unit 213 converts the baseband digital signal input from the GI insertion unit 211 into an analog signal and outputs the analog signal to the transmission RF unit 215. The transmission RF unit 215 generates an in-phase component and a quadrature component of the intermediate frequency from the analog signal input from the D / A unit 213, and removes an extra frequency component for the intermediate frequency band.

A configuration in which a value is set may be used. As described above, the transmission power setting unit 4053 uses any one path loss among a plurality of path losses input from the path loss calculation unit 4051 for the channel and signal transmitted for each uplink subframe. Set the transmission power.

The transmission power setting unit 4053 controls the transmission processing unit 407 to use a set desired transmission power value or a transmission power value (maximum transmittable transmission power value that can be transmitted) configured in advance in the mobile station apparatus 5. The transmission power setting unit 4053 compares the transmission power value configured in advance in the mobile station device 5 with a desired transmission power value, selects a smaller value, and uses the selected transmission power value to transmit the transmission processing unit. 407 is controlled.

The transmission power setting unit 4053 uses two types of modes for setting parameters based on the transmission power control command. One mode (Accumulation mode) is a mode in which the notified transmission power control command values are accumulated. The other mode (Absolute mode) is a mode in which only the latest transmission power control command value is used without integrating the notified values of the plurality of transmission power control commands. For example, for PUSCH, either the accumulation mode or the absolute mode is set in the mobile station apparatus 5 using RRC signaling, and the accumulation mode is set in the mobile station apparatus 5 for the PUCCH. The

(Second Embodiment)
The second embodiment of the present invention differs from the first embodiment in downlink reference signals used for measuring a plurality of path losses. In the second embodiment, each of the plurality of path losses is calculated based on the CSI-RS, but each path loss is a CSI-RS corresponding to a different antenna port (first reference signal, second reference signal). Calculated based on The mobile station apparatus 5 is designated by the base station apparatus 3 and RRH 4 as CSI-RS antenna ports (including a plurality of antenna ports) used for measuring the path loss. Some CSI-RSs are transmitted only from the antenna port of the base station apparatus 3, and some CSI-RSs are transmitted only from the RRH 4. By specifying the base station apparatus 3 and RRH4, in the mobile station apparatus 5, one path loss is calculated based on CSI-RS transmitted only from the antenna port of the base station apparatus 3, and the other path loss is calculated from the antenna port of RRH4. Only based on CSI-RS transmitted only.

The mobile station apparatus 5 sets the desired transmission power of the PUSCH using any one of the path losses calculated based on the CSI-RS of different antenna ports. For example, when the PUSCH receiving destination is the base station apparatus 3, the path loss calculated based on the CSI-RS transmitted only from the antenna port of the base station apparatus 3 is used for setting the desired transmission power of the PUSCH. When the destination of PUSCH is RRH4, the path loss calculated based on CSI-RS transmitted only from the antenna port of RRH4 is used for setting the desired transmission power of PUSCH. In the mobile station apparatus 5, any one of the path losses calculated based on the CSI-RS corresponding to different antenna ports is set for transmission power control of PUSCH. In the mobile station apparatus 5, one of CSI-RSs corresponding to different antenna ports is set as a path loss reference for path loss used for PUSCH transmission power control.

The mobile station apparatus 5 sets the desired transmission power of the PUCCH using any one of the path losses calculated based on the CSI-RS of different antenna ports. For example, when the PUCCH reception destination is the base station apparatus 3, the path loss calculated based on the CSI-RS transmitted only from the antenna port of the base station apparatus 3 is used for the PUCCH, and the PUCCH reception destination is RRH4. In some cases, path loss calculated based on CSI-RS transmitted only from the antenna port of RRH4 is used for PUCCH. In the mobile station apparatus 5, one of path losses calculated based on CSI-RSs corresponding to different antenna ports is set for PUCCH transmission power control. In the mobile station apparatus 5, one of CSI-RSs corresponding to different antenna ports is set as a path loss reference for path loss used for transmission power control of PUCCH.

For example, in the mobile station apparatus 5, a CSI-RS corresponding to a certain antenna port is set as a path loss reference of a path loss (first path loss) used for PUSCH transmission power control. For example, the mobile station apparatus 5 sets a CSI-RS corresponding to a certain antenna port as a path loss reference of a path loss (second path loss) used for transmission power control of PUCCH. For example, the CSI-RS used for the first path loss measurement and the CSI-RS used for the second path loss measurement correspond to different antenna ports. Even in such a case, when simultaneous transmission of PUCCH and PUSCH is configured, the mobile station device 5 uses dl-PathlossChange for the first path loss and the second path loss. Processing to determine the trigger of the reporting process, and when simultaneous transmission of PUCCH and PUSCH is not configured, a process to determine the trigger of the power headroom reporting process using dl-PathlossChange for the first path loss To do.

In the second embodiment, when the path loss of each of the first path loss and the second path loss is calculated based on the CSI-RS corresponding to different antenna ports (CSI− corresponding to each antenna port corresponding to different antenna ports). Also in the case of RS), the mobile station apparatus 5 uses dl-PathlossChange according to the configuration of simultaneous transmission of PUCCH and PUSCH (simultaneous transmission of PUCCH and PUSCH is performed, but not simultaneous transmission of PUCCH and PUSCH). By controlling the path loss (the first path loss, or the first path loss and the second path loss) to which the process for determining the trigger of the power headroom reporting process is controlled, the same effect as in the first embodiment is obtained. be able to. When the notification of power headroom is valid, the notification of power headroom is immediately performed so that uplink scheduling can be performed efficiently and an increase in signaling overhead can be prevented.

Note that CSI-RSs corresponding to substantially different antenna ports are indicated to the mobile station apparatus 5 by expressing the antenna ports with different numbers explicitly using the antenna ports in one CSI-RS configuration. Instead, the mobile station apparatus 5 may be indicated by different CSI-RS configurations. For example, the mobile station apparatus 5 is notified of a plurality of CSI-RS configurations (CSI-RS-Config-r10). In each CSI-RS configuration, the number of antenna ports set in the CSI-RS may be the same or different. That is, the same number may be used as the antenna port number in each CSI-RS configuration. For example, in each CSI-RS configuration, the downlink subframe in which the CSI-RS is arranged is different. For example, in the configuration of each CSI-RS, the frequency region where the CSI-RS is arranged is different.

For example, a certain CSI-RS configuration is substantially a CSI-RS configuration that is transmitted only from the antenna port of the base station apparatus 3. For example, a certain CSI-RS configuration is substantially a CSI-RS configuration transmitted only from the antenna port of RRH4. The mobile station apparatus 5 is only notified of the configuration of a plurality of CSI-RSs, and is explicitly configured to transmit only from the antenna port of the base station apparatus 3, or the antenna port of the RRH4. It is not necessary to notify whether the configuration of the CSI-RS is transmitted only from.

The mobile station apparatus 5 sets the desired transmission power of the PUSCH using any one of the path losses calculated based on the CSI-RSs having different configurations. For example, when the PUSCH receiving destination is the base station apparatus 3, the path loss calculated based on the CSI-RS transmitted only from the antenna port of the base station apparatus 3 is used for the PUSCH, and the PUSCH receiving destination is RRH4. In some cases, the path loss calculated based on CSI-RS transmitted only from the antenna port of RRH4 is used for PUSCH. In the mobile station apparatus 5, any one of a plurality of path losses calculated based on CSI-RSs having different configurations is set for PUSCH transmission power control. In the mobile station apparatus 5, one of CSI-RSs having different configurations is set as a path loss reference for path loss used for PUSCH transmission power control. Note that the mobile station apparatus 5 receives the PUSCH only by instructing the base station apparatus 3 and the RRH 4 to use the path loss calculated based on the CSI-RS of the configuration to set the desired transmission power of the PUSCH. Whether the destination is the base station apparatus 3 or RRH4 does not have to be explicitly notified.

The mobile station apparatus 5 sets the desired transmission power of the PUCCH using any one of the path losses calculated based on the CSI-RSs having different configurations. For example, when the PUCCH reception destination is the base station apparatus 3, the path loss calculated based on the CSI-RS transmitted only from the antenna port of the base station apparatus 3 is used for the PUCCH, and the PUCCH reception destination is RRH4. In some cases, path loss calculated based on CSI-RS transmitted only from the antenna port of RRH4 is used for PUCCH. In the mobile station apparatus 5, any one of a plurality of path losses calculated based on CSI-RSs having different configurations is set for PUCCH transmission power control. In the mobile station apparatus 5, one of CSI-RSs having different configurations is set as a path loss reference for path loss used for PUCCH transmission power control. Note that the mobile station apparatus 5 receives the PUCCH only by instructing the base station apparatus 3 and the RRH 4 to use the path loss calculated based on the CSI-RS of the configuration to set the desired transmission power of the PUCCH. Whether the destination is the base station apparatus 3 or RRH4 does not have to be explicitly notified.

For example, in the mobile station apparatus 5, the CSI-RS having the first CSI-RS configuration is set as the path loss reference of the path loss (first path loss) used for PUSCH transmission power control. For example, in the mobile station apparatus 5, the CSI-RS having the second CSI-RS configuration is set as a path loss reference of a path loss (second path loss) used for PUCCH transmission power control. For example, the CSI-RS configuration used for the first path loss measurement and the CSI-RS configuration used for the second path loss measurement are different CSI-RS configurations. Even in such a case, when simultaneous transmission of PUCCH and PUSCH is configured, the mobile station device 5 uses dl-PathlossChange for the first path loss and the second path loss. Processing to determine the trigger of the reporting process, and when simultaneous transmission of PUCCH and PUSCH is not configured, a process to determine the trigger of the power headroom reporting process using dl-PathlossChange for the first path loss To do.

Even when each path loss of the first path loss and the second path loss is calculated based on CSI-RS having different configurations, a configuration of simultaneous transmission of PUCCH and PUSCH (PUCCH and PUSCH that perform simultaneous transmission of PUCCH and PUSCH) The path loss (the first path loss, or the first path loss and the second path loss) to which the process of determining the trigger of the power headroom reporting process using dl-PathlossChange is applied. By controlling, the same effect as in the first embodiment can be obtained. When the notification of power headroom is valid, the notification of power headroom is immediately performed so that uplink scheduling can be performed efficiently and an increase in signaling overhead can be prevented.

Further, different frequency bands may be used between the base station apparatus 3 and the RRH 4, and cooperative communication may be used between different RRHs 4. For example, the mobile station apparatus 5 transmits an uplink signal with transmission power suitable for receiving a signal by each RRH 4.

In addition, when the cell configured by the base station apparatus 3 and the cell configured by the RRH 4 have different frequency bands, the CRS is not configured in the cell configured by the RRH 4 and only the CSI-RS is configured. Good. For example, in this case, the mobile station apparatus 5 calculates a path loss based on the CRS for the cell configured by the RRH 4, and performs an initial state (default) using the calculated path loss to calculate an uplink transmission power value. In this case, a process of calculating a path loss based on CSI-RS and calculating an uplink transmission power value using the calculated path loss may be set as an initial state (default state). When the base station device 5 determines that the mobile station device 5 needs to add RRH4 used for cooperative communication, the base station device 5 notifies the mobile station device 5 of the configuration of the CSI-RS for the cell configured by the RRH4, and moves The path loss reference of the station device 5 is added or changed (reset or reconfigured).

Different CSI-RS configurations may be applied to different RRHs 4. For example, in the configuration of different CSI-RSs of different RRH4, downlink subframes in which CSI-RSs are arranged may be different. For example, in the configuration of different CSI-RSs of different RRHs 4, the frequency regions where the CSI-RSs are arranged may be different. For example, in the configuration of different CSI-RSs of different RRH4, the number of CSI-RS antenna ports may be different. Information regarding the configuration of the CSI-RS for each RRH 4 to which the cooperative communication is applied is notified from the base station apparatus 3 to the mobile station apparatus 5 using RRC signaling. The mobile station apparatus 5 receives the CSI-RS transmitted by each RRH 4 based on the notified CSI-RS configuration, measures the path loss for each RRH 4, and uses the measured path loss to signal an uplink signal. Set the transmission power. Thereby, the mobile station apparatus 5 can set transmission power suitable for each RRH 4 that is a signal reception destination. In this way, by setting the transmission power suitable for the signal receiving destination, it is possible to improve the efficiency of the communication system while suppressing the interference given to other signals while satisfying the required quality of the signal. .

For example, a certain CSI-RS configuration is substantially a CSI-RS configuration that is transmitted only from the antenna port of the first RRH4. For example, a certain CSI-RS configuration is substantially a CSI-RS configuration that is transmitted only from the antenna port of the second RRH4. The mobile station apparatus 5 is only notified of the configuration of a plurality of CSI-RSs, and is not explicitly notified of the configuration of the CSI-RS transmitted only from the antenna port of any RRH4. Good.

The mobile station apparatus 5 sets the desired transmission power of the PUSCH using any one of the path losses calculated based on the CSI-RSs having different configurations. For example, when the PUSCH destination is the first RRH4, the path loss calculated based on the CSI-RS transmitted from the antenna port of the first RRH4 is used for the PUSCH, and the PUSCH destination is the second RSCH4. In the case of RRH4, the path loss calculated based on the CSI-RS transmitted from the antenna port of the second RRH4 is used for PUSCH. In the mobile station apparatus 5, any one of a plurality of path losses calculated based on CSI-RSs having different configurations is set for PUSCH transmission power control. In the mobile station apparatus 5, one of CSI-RSs having different configurations is set as a path loss reference for path loss used for PUSCH transmission power control. Note that the mobile station apparatus 5 receives the PUSCH only by instructing the base station apparatus 3 and the RRH 4 to use the path loss calculated based on the CSI-RS of the configuration to set the desired transmission power of the PUSCH. It is not necessary to explicitly notify which RRH4 is the destination.
