Description

無線基地局装置、無線通信システム、無線通信方法、及びそのプログラムRadio base station apparatus, radio communication system, radio communication method, and program thereof
 本発明は、無線通信技術に係り、特に、モバイル端末が送受信する情報にかかる無線通信を実行する無線基地局装置、無線通信システム、無線通信方法、及びそのプログラムに関する。 The present invention relates to a radio communication technology, and more particularly, to a radio base station apparatus, a radio communication system, a radio communication method, and a program for executing radio communication related to information transmitted and received by a mobile terminal.
 モバイル端末の普及に伴う通信量の増大に対応し、且つユーザースループットの増大を図るため、移動通信システムにおいては、現行のLTE(Long Term Evolution)システムから、第4世代(4G)携帯電話の標準規格の1つであるLTE-Advanced、更にはその先のFuture Radio Accessへの移行が検討されている。 In order to cope with the increase in communication volume accompanying the spread of mobile terminals and to increase user throughput, mobile communication systems are changing from the current LTE (Long Term Term Evolution) system to the standard of fourth generation (4G) cellular phones. Migration to LTE-Advanced, which is one of the standards, and to Future Radio Access is considered.
 LTE-Advancedは、3GPP Rel.10及びRel.11(リリース10及び11)による標準化の検討がなされており、その代表的な手法としては、HetNet(Heterogeneous Network)と称される階層的な大小セル構成(セル半径や方式の異なるシステムが同一エリアに混在することを可能にする技術)や、CoMP(Coordinated Multi Point transmission:複数基地局間協調送信技術)と称される基地局間・Cell間協調の技術が知られている。 LTE-Advanced has been studied for standardization by 3GPP Rel.10 and Rel.11 (releases 10 and 11), and a typical method is a large and small cell called HetNet (Heterogeneous Network). Inter-base-station / cell-coordination called CoMP (Coordinated Multi Point transmission: Coordinated Multi-Point Cooperative Transmission Technology) The technology is known.
 端末ユーザの密集するホットスポット(登録商標)においては、大セルのマクロ基地局ではなく、小セルのスモールセル基地局やフェムトセル(femtocell)基地局によって増大するトラフィックに対応し、マルチユーザMIMOのアンテナビームフォーミング(電波干渉を軽減する技術)により高スループットを実現するという方式が考案されている。 In the hot spot (registered trademark) where terminal users are concentrated, it corresponds to the traffic increased by the small cell base station and femtocell base station of the small cell instead of the macro base station of the large cell. A method of realizing high throughput by antenna beam forming (technology for reducing radio wave interference) has been devised.
 例えば、図5に示すように、無線部(RE)200と制御部(REC)500とが分離された一般的な移動通信システムの無線基地局装置800においては、無線部200と制御部500とが、通常、光ファイバにより接続され、これにより高速通信を実現している。 For example, as shown in FIG. 5, in a radio base station apparatus 800 of a general mobile communication system in which a radio unit (RE) 200 and a control unit (REC) 500 are separated, the radio unit 200, the control unit 500, However, they are usually connected by optical fibers, thereby realizing high-speed communication.
 無線部200と制御部500との間のインタフェースには、CPRI(Common Public Radio Interface)やOBSAI(Open Base Station Architecture Initiative)等の標準化された仕様が定義されており、通信速度は1.2Gbps程度からこの数倍程度となっている。 Standardized specifications such as CPRI (Common Public Radio Interface) and OBSAI (Open Base Station Architecture) are defined for the interface between the radio unit 200 and the control unit 500, and the communication speed is about 1.2 Gbps. It is about several times this.
 また、トラフィックが増大する状況下においてもスループットの向上を実現するために、無線基地局装置は、高出力かつ広カバレッジのマクロ基地局装置による構成から、該マクロ基地局装置と狭カバレッジのスモールセル基地局とを組合せてオーバーレイ化するというシステム構成へと徐々に移行されている。 Further, in order to realize an improvement in throughput even in a situation where traffic increases, a radio base station apparatus has a configuration of a macro base station apparatus with a high output and a wide coverage, and the macro base station apparatus and a small cell with a narrow coverage It is gradually shifted to a system configuration in which a base station is combined with an overlay.
 さらに、こうした無線通信に関連する技術としては、例えば、下記の内容(特許文献1又は2)が知られている。 Furthermore, as a technique related to such wireless communication, for example, the following contents (Patent Document 1 or 2) are known.
 特許文献1には、電車内に装備された中継局にて、搭乗者が所有するPHS端末の位置を推定すると共に、この推定位置に応じて該PHS端末との無線通信にかかるQoS(Quality of Service)及びハンドオーバ(基地局の切り替え処理)の基準を切り替えることで、無線通信システムにおける安定した通信品質を確保するという技術内容が開示されている。 In Patent Document 1, a position of a PHS terminal owned by a passenger is estimated at a relay station installed in a train, and QoS (Quality of) related to wireless communication with the PHS terminal according to the estimated position is disclosed. The technical content of ensuring stable communication quality in a wireless communication system by switching the standard of (Service) and handover (base station switching processing) is disclosed.
 また、特許文献2には、無線中継局を装備した航空機内部の搭乗者が所持する端末機器と地上通信網との間で行う広帯域無線通信にかかる技術内容が開示されている。具体的には、上記地上通信網に接続された基地局が有する基地局アンテナに、上記航空機の捕捉又は追尾用のビームを生成・発信する機能を設けることで、該航空機との位置関係を把握し、これにより、上記端末機器と該地上通信網との連続的な広帯域無線伝送を該基地局のカバー範囲内にて実現するという広帯域無線通信システムが示されている。 Further, Patent Document 2 discloses the technical contents related to broadband wireless communication performed between a terminal device possessed by a passenger inside an aircraft equipped with a wireless relay station and a terrestrial communication network. Specifically, the base station antenna of the base station connected to the ground communication network is provided with a function for generating and transmitting a beam for capturing or tracking the aircraft, thereby grasping the positional relationship with the aircraft. Thus, there is shown a broadband wireless communication system in which continuous broadband wireless transmission between the terminal device and the terrestrial communication network is realized within the coverage of the base station.

 しかしながら、無線端末(UE:User Equipment)のユーザが列車の乗客等である場合のように、ユーザが集中する環境(ホットスポット環境)であり且つ接続基地局が短時間で切り替わるような高速移動環境下において、高スループットを実現するためには、技術的難易度が高くなるという不都合がある。 However, as in the case where the user of a wireless terminal (UE: User Equipment) is a train passenger or the like, it is an environment in which the user concentrates (hot spot environment) and the connected base station is switched in a short time. Below, in order to realize high throughput, there is a disadvantage that the technical difficulty level becomes high.
 また、高スループットを実現するためのマルチユーザMIMO等の技術を採用するためには、インフラストラクチャ(infrastructure)である無線基地局側だけでなく、無線端末側に対しても新技術を取り込む必要があり、すなわち、任意のユーザが所持する無線端末の更新・刷新を要するという問題がある。 In addition, in order to adopt technologies such as multi-user MIMO to achieve high throughput, it is necessary to incorporate new technologies not only on the wireless base station side, which is an infrastructure, but also on the wireless terminal side.

The received wireless relay device 10 is configured to transmit the information by the relay wireless communication unit 30.
 無線基地局装置40は、通信網100との間でのデータ通信処理を行う制御部50と、無線端末90から送信される情報を無線中継装置10を介して受信し且つ無線通信処理を行う複数の無線通信部60(1)~(n:任意の自然数)と、この複数の無線通信部60(1)~(n)の内から何れか1つを予め設定された基準に従って選定すると共に、当該選定した無線通信部が受信した上記情報を制御部50に受け渡す選定処理部(切替処理部)70と、を有している。 The radio base station apparatus 40 includes a control unit 50 that performs data communication processing with the communication network 100, and a plurality of units that receive information transmitted from the radio terminal 90 via the radio relay apparatus 10 and perform radio communication processing. The wireless communication units 60 (1) to 60 (1) to (n: any natural number) and one of the plurality of wireless communication units 60 (1) to (n) are selected according to a preset criterion, And a selection processing unit (switching processing unit) 70 that delivers the information received by the selected wireless communication unit to the control unit 50.

The electric field strength specifying means 70A for executing the above selection is provided.
In the present embodiment, a standard for specifying the wireless communication unit 60 (any one of 1 to n) having the highest received electric field strength is adopted as the preset standard.
 すなわち、選定処理部70は、上記選定を行うに際して、受信電界強度が最も高い無線通信部60(1~nの何れか)を特定すると共に、この特定した無線通信部60(1~nの何れか)から受信した無線端末90からの情報を制御部50を介して外部の通信網100に向けて送信するという構成を採っている。 That is, the selection processing unit 70 specifies the wireless communication unit 60 (any one of 1 to n) having the highest received electric field strength when performing the above selection, and also specifies any one of the specified wireless communication units 60 (1 to n). The information received from the wireless terminal 90 is transmitted to the external communication network 100 via the control unit 50.
 また、選定処理部70は、上記通信網100側から制御部50を介して取得したデータを、電界強度特定手段70Aにて選定した無線通信部60(1~nの何れか)に送信するという構成を採っている。 The selection processing unit 70 transmits the data acquired from the communication network 100 via the control unit 50 to the radio communication unit 60 (any one of 1 to n) selected by the electric field strength specifying means 70A.

 すなわち、本実施形態における無線基地局装置40を移動通信システム等に採用すれば、移動体の内部に存するユーザの持つ無線端末90が、該移動体と共に高速移動するような状況下にあっても、特に、複数の無線通信部60(1)~(n)と、これらの内からデータ送信又は受信用の無線通信部60(1~nの何れか)を選定する選定処理部70とが有効に機能し、高速移動による影響を低減させるため、これにより、静止状況下と同等の無線通信を実現することが可能となる。 That is, if the radio base station apparatus 40 according to the present embodiment is adopted in a mobile communication system or the like, even if the radio terminal 90 possessed by the user existing inside the mobile object moves at a high speed with the mobile object. In particular, a plurality of wireless communication units 60 (1) to (n) and a selection processing unit 70 for selecting a wireless communication unit 60 for data transmission or reception (any one of 1 to n) from these are effective. Therefore, wireless communication equivalent to that in a stationary state can be realized.

Here, it is assumed that a train 110 is employed as the moving body, and the train 110 is equipped with the wireless relay device 10 (the wireless unit 20 and the relay wireless communication unit 30).
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the radio unit 20 is installed near the indoor ceiling of a train 110 that is a moving body, and the relay radio communication unit 30 connected to the radio unit 20 is connected to the outdoor ceiling of the train 110.

 この各アップリンク信号を取得した選定処理部70は、各無線通信部60(1)~(n)の受信電界強度を測定すると共に各測定結果を比較し、最も受信電界強度の高い特定の無線通信部60(1~nの何れか)を選定するという構成を採っている。 The selection processing unit 70 that has acquired each uplink signal measures the reception electric field strength of each of the radio communication units 60 (1) to (n) and compares the respective measurement results to obtain a specific radio signal having the highest reception electric field strength. The communication unit 60 (any one of 1 to n) is selected.
 また、選定処理部70は、この選定した無線通信部60(1~nの何れか)が受信した情報を選択すると共に、遅延調整等のタイミング調整を行った上で、当該情報を制御部50に受け渡すように構成されている。上記タイミング調整を行うに際して選定処理部70は、当該無線端末90からの情報を、内部メモリ等(図示せず)に一時記憶させた後、予め設けられた基準情報に則した有意なタイミングで制御部50に出力するという構成を採っている。 The selection processing unit 70 selects information received by the selected wireless communication unit 60 (any one of 1 to n) and performs timing adjustment such as delay adjustment, and then transmits the information to the control unit 50. It is configured to pass on. When performing the timing adjustment, the selection processing unit 70 temporarily stores information from the wireless terminal 90 in an internal memory or the like (not shown), and then performs control at a significant timing in accordance with reference information provided in advance. The configuration of outputting to the unit 50 is adopted.
 複数の無線通信部60(1)~(n)から中継用無線通信部30へと送信されるダウンリンク信号(ダウンリンク)は、上記同様に選定処理部70が選定した受信電界強度(アップリンク受信電界強度)の高い特定の無線通信部60(1~nの何れか)からのみ送信されるように構成されている。 Downlink signals (downlinks) transmitted from the plurality of radio communication units 60 (1) to (n) to the relay radio communication unit 30 are received field strengths (uplinks) selected by the selection processing unit 70 in the same manner as described above. It is configured to transmit only from a specific wireless communication unit 60 (any one of 1 to n) having a high (reception electric field intensity).
 すなわち、通信網100側から受信したデータを、無線基地局装置40は、上記により選定した特定の無線通信部60(1~nの何れか)のみから発信することにより、無線中継装置10を介して無線端末90に送信するという構成を採っている。
