第1に、実施形態に係る移動通信システムは、無線端末から送信される上りリンク信号を複数の無線基地局で協調して受信するシステムである。前記複数の無線基地局のそれぞれは、前記無線端末と自局との間のパスロスを取得する取得部と、前記取得部によって取得されたパスロスを他の無線基地局に通知するインタフェースとを備える。前記複数の無線基地局の少なくとも1つの無線基地局は、前記複数の無線基地局のそれぞれと前記無線端末との間のパスロスに応じて、前記上りリンク信号の送信電力制御に用いるパスロスを前記無線端末に通知する通知部を備える。
(移動通信システム)
以下において、第1実施形態に係る移動通信システムについて説明する。図1は、第1実施形態に係る移動通信システム100を示す図である。
以下において、第1通信システムにおける無線フレームについて説明する。図2は、第1通信システムにおける無線フレームを示す図である。
以下において、第1通信システムにおける無線リソースについて説明する。図3は、第1通信システムにおける無線リソースを示す図である。
以下において、第1実施形態に係る適用シーンについて説明する。図4は、第1実施形態に係る適用シーンを説明するための図である。図4では、無線基地局の一例として、MeNB110A及びHeNB110Bを例示する。
MPUSCH,c(i):サブフレームiにおけるPUSCHに割当てられるRB数
PO_PUSCH,c(j):無線端末に固有の値であり、1RBあたりの送信電力の初期値
αc(j):パスロスの補償係数
PLc:パスロス
ΔTF,c(i):変調符号化方式(MCS)によって定まる送信電力の補正項
fc(i):無線基地局から無線端末に送信されるTPCコマンドによって定まる送信電力の補正項
ここで、PLcは、“referenceSignalPower-RSRP”に従って算出されるパスロスである。RSRP(Reference Signal Received Power)は、無線基地局から送信される参照信号の受信電力である。
以下において、第1実施形態に係る無線基地局について説明する。図5は、第1実施形態に係る無線基地局110を示すブロック図である。無線基地局110は、MeNB110Aであってもよく、HeNB110Bであってもよい。
制御部116は、上りリンク信号の送信電力制御に用いるパスロスとして、最小のパスロスを特定してもよい。すなわち、制御部116は、上りリンク信号の送信電力制御に用いるパスロスとして、PLsを特定する。
制御部116は、上りリンク信号の送信電力制御に用いるパスロスとして、所定数のパスロスの逆数の和の逆数を特定する。例えば、PLp、PLq、PLr、PLsの全てを用いる場合には、制御部116は、上りリンク信号の送信電力制御に用いるパスロスとして、1/{1/PLp+1/PLq+1/PLr+1/PLs}を特定する。
以下において、第1実施形態に係る無線端末について説明する。図6は、第1実施形態に係るUE10を示すブロック図である。図6に示すように、UE10は、受信部11と、送信部12と、制御部13とを有する。
以下において、第1実施形態に係る移動通信システムの動作について説明する。図7は、第1実施形態に係る移動通信システム100の動作を示すシーケンス図である。
第1実施形態では、無線基地局110(例えば、MeNB110A)は、複数の無線基地局のそれぞれとUE10との間のパスロスに応じて、上りリンク信号の送信電力制御に用いるパスロスをUE10に通知する。すなわち、UE10は、無線基地局110から通知されたパスロスに基づいて、上りリンク信号の送信電力制御を行う。これによって、上りリンク信号の送信電力が過剰である状態が回避され、上りリンク信号の送信電力を適切に制御することができる。
以下において、第1実施形態の変更例1について説明する。以下においては、第1実施形態に対する相違点について主として説明する。
以下において、変更例1に係る移動通信システムの動作について説明する。図8は、変更例1に係る移動通信システム100の動作を示すシーケンス図である。図8では、図7と同様の処理について同様のステップ番号が付されている。図7と同様の処理の説明については省略する。
変更例1では、無線基地局110(例えば、MeNB110A)は、複数の無線基地局のそれぞれとUE10との間のパスロスに応じて、上りリンク信号の送信電力制御で参照すべき無線基地局をUE10に通知する。すなわち、UE10は、無線基地局110から通知された情報に基づいて、上りリンク信号の送信電力制御で参照すべき無線基地局を特定し、特定された無線基地局と自局との間のパスロスに基づいて、上りリンク信号の送信電力制御を行う。これによって、上りリンク信号の送信電力が過剰である状態が回避され、上りリンク信号の送信電力を適切に制御することができる。
本発明は上述した実施形態によって説明したが、この開示の一部をなす論述及び図面は、この発明を限定するものであると理解すべきではない。この開示から当業者には様々な代替実施形態、実施例及び運用技術が明らかとなろう。
