Abstract
Description
[通信システムの概要]
本発明の実施の形態1に係る通信システムは、送信装置と受信装置とを有する。特に、本実施の形態では、送信装置を端末100とし、受信装置を基地局200として説明する。この通信システムは、例えば、LTE-Advancedシステムである。そして、端末100は、例えば、LTE-Advancedシステムに対応する端末であり、基地局200は、例えば、LTE-Advancedシステムに対応する基地局である。また、例えば、端末100がUL CoMPを適用するCoMP UEとして動作する場合、端末100から送信された信号は、複数の基地局200によって協調して受信される。
図5は、本発明の実施の形態1に係る端末100の構成を示すブロック図である。
図6は、本発明の実施の形態1に係る基地局200の構成を示すブロック図である。
以上の構成を有する端末100及び基地局200の動作について説明する。
実施の形態1では、新たな端末固有パラメータであるΔPLを追加で通知することなく、パスロス差ΔPLを考慮したPo_UE_PUSCH,c(j)を通知する場合について説明した。ただし、この場合、従来(Release 10又はLTE)のシグナリングフォーマットからLTE-Advanced(Release 11)向けのシグナリングフォーマットへの変更が必要になる。しかし、LTE-Advanced(Release 11)では、システムの複雑さの観点より、従来(Release 10)のシグナリングフォーマットからの変更が無いことがより望ましい。
図3は、本発明の実施の形態2に係る端末100の主要構成図である。図3に示す端末100において、制御部103は、基地局200から通知されたビット列(制御情報)、及び、ビット列と送信電力に関する制御値との対応付けに基づいて、送信電力を制御する。上記対応付けでは、ビット列の各々と、Non-CoMP UE向けの制御値候補群(第1の制御値候補群)及びCoMP UE向けの制御値候補群(第2の制御値候補群)と、がそれぞれ対応付けられている。制御部103は、端末100(自機)が複数の基地局200によるCoMP(協調受信)の対象ではない場合、Non-CoMP向けの制御値候補群のうち、通知されたビット列に対応付けられた制御値候補を用いて送信電力を算出し、端末100がCoMPの対象である場合、CoMP向けの制御値候補群のうち、通知されたビット列に対応付けられた制御値候補を用いて送信電力を算出する。
図5に示す端末100において、制御値算出部105は、送信電力制御に関する制御情報(ビット列)と上記送信電力の制御値(Po_UE_PUSCH,c(j):dB値)との対応付けルールを参照して、当該制御情報(ビット列)に対応する送信電力の制御値(dB値)を算出する。ここで、上記対応付けルールは、端末100と基地局200との間で予め共有されている。また、上記対応付けルールには、端末100がCoMP UEであるかNon-CoMP UEであるかによって、同一ビット列に対して異なる制御値が対応付けられている。上記対応付けルールの詳細な説明については後述する。
本実施の形態では、Po_PUSCH,c(j)の変更を考慮したPo_UE_PUSCH,c(j)(つまり、CoMP UE向けのPo_UE_PUSCH,c(j))の各候補値の使用頻度、つまり、基地局200がセル内の端末100へ通知する頻度に着目する。
本実施の形態では、Serving cell向けの送信電力からパスロスが最小の受信ポイント向けの送信電力(CoMP UEの送信電力)への切替が、パスロスの補償割合αc(j)に依存することに着目する。
αc(j)=0.0の場合:-8~7[dB]
αc(j)=0.6の場合:-17.6~7[dB]
αc(j)=1.0の場合:-24~7[dB]
(1)なお、上記各実施の形態において、「CoMP UE」は複数の基地局による協調受信が常に適用される端末でなくてもよい。例えば、以下の(i)~(iv)の端末(UE)をCoMP UEとしてもよい。
(i)Serving cellとは異なるセル(基地局)に向けて上り回線信号を送信する端末。この場合、複数セル間で受信信号を合成するか否かには依らない。
(ii)端末固有のDMRS(Demodulation Reference Signal)系列が設定可能な端末、又はDMRS系列が設定された端末。
(iii)Virtual cell IDが設定可能な端末、又は、Virtual cell IDが設定された端末。
(iv)CoMP UEであることを基地局から明示的に通知された端末。
