That is, when selecting a communication channel to be used, a zone that can be selected and assigned with the highest priority as a communication channel.
- Yellow Zone 122Ab A communication channel in which radio waves and jamming waves of different types of radio systems other than the PHS system are sometimes found with a frequency equal to or lower than a predetermined frequency threshold (that is, radio wave interference is within an acceptable range in communication quality)
- a predetermined frequency threshold that is, radio wave interference is within an acceptable range in communication quality
- Red Zone 122Ac a communication channel in which radio waves and jamming waves of different types of radio systems other than the PHS system are found with a frequency exceeding the predetermined frequency threshold (that is, radio wave interference exceeds an allowable range in communication quality) Zone with the lowest priority to which the "dirty" communication channel that occurs frequently). That is, a communication channel that is most likely to cause interference, and cannot be assigned as a communication channel when selecting a communication channel to be used.

It will be ready for use. Further, even when a radio wave of a different radio system other than the PHS system, for example, a DECT system is detected, if the frequency of discovery is a communication channel equal to or lower than a predetermined frequency threshold, the yellow zone 122Ab of the communication channel management table 122A If any of the communication channels registered and registered in the green zone 122Aa cannot be selected, the communication channel can be selected and used as the next priority communication channel.
- the communication channel can be selected and used as the next priority communication channel.
- the communication channel management table 122A When a communication channel is switched or when a communication channel acquisition request or switching request occurs such as when a handover occurs, the communication channel management table 122A is referred to and the ranking is higher. Is located in the green zone 122Aa, and there is no radio wave of a heterogeneous wireless system other than the PHS system. This makes it possible to more reliably avoid interference with different types of radio waves.
- the setting registration operation to the communication channel management table 122A performed by the communication channel management unit 122 is not limited to the presence or absence of the radio wave of the DECT method.
- the carrier sense unit 121 detects a radio wave of a different type other than the PHS method other than the DECT method, and sends the detection result to the communication channel management unit 122 as a carrier sense result. Therefore, the communication channel setting registration operation performed by the communication channel management unit 122 when a notification indicating that a radio wave of a different type of radio system other than the PHS system has been detected is received as a carrier sense result is obtained when the DECT system radio wave is detected
- the communication channel setting registration operation is performed in the same manner as in FIG. In this way, in the office digital cordless telephone system 10, an adaptive interference avoidance measure capable of effectively avoiding interference with a PHS communication channel can be realized as a full-scale interference avoidance measure.
- radio wave monitoring in the carrier sense unit 121 and generation of a carrier sense result based on the radio wave monitoring are omitted, and further, setting registration for the communication channel management table 122A by the communication channel management unit 122 based on the carrier sense result is omitted.
- the frequency band that can be preferentially used by the PHS system side according to the PHS protection regulations It is possible to determine whether or not the communication channel frequency band of each communication channel in the PHS system is used, and only by this determination, the communication channel setting table 122A registers and registers the communication channel.

- the communication channel does not belong to the same frequency band as the radio wave used in the DECT wireless device belonging to the same communication area.
- the settings are registered by classifying them into the green zone 122Aa or the yellow zone 122Ab of the channel management table 122A. In this case, the call channel is not set and registered in the red zone 122Ac that cannot be assigned as a communication channel.
- the PHS system 1,898.45 MHz (ch12 channel)
- communication channel management is performed in an environment where the operation of the frequency band of F3 or F4 on the DECT system side overlapping with the frequency of the control channel is stopped.
- the contents registered in the green zone 122Aa and the yellow zone 122Ab of the table 122A are as follows. (1) Green zone 122Aa: 14 non-overlapping regions (5 communication channels of ch251 to ch255 channels and 9 communication channels of ch29 to ch37 channels) in band 0 in FIG.
- Yellow zone 122Ab A frequency band that overlaps with the DECT method and can cause radio wave interference is set and registered.
- the bands 1 to 5 whose frequency band overlaps with the radio wave band of the DECT system are sorted as overlapping bands. Of these overlapping bands, bands 3 and 4 are registered in the green zone 122Aa as described above. That's right. Therefore, of the overlapping bands in FIG.

Even if interference with DECT radio waves occurs, bands 3 and 4 Contrary to the above, the DECT system side is not expected to stop radio wave emission in F1, F2 or F5 and avoid interference. Therefore, yellow is assigned lower priority than the green zone 122Aa and not the green zone 122Aa. The setting is registered in the zone 122Ab.
- the simple interference avoidance measure method described above can be positioned as an execution plan (implementation plan) that can easily reduce development costs.
- the heterogeneous radio system other than the PHS system is using the frequency band overlapping with the control channel.

- a countermeasure focused on avoiding interference caused by radio waves of the DECT method in some cases, it is an interference avoidance measure that statically allocates a communication channel in the same manner as the simple interference avoidance countermeasure method described above.
- a simpler method may be used than the method for avoiding general interference.
- this method is referred to as a “simple frequency segregation method”.
- frequency channels that can be used in each of the DECT method and the PHS method are statically “separated” into different frequency bands, and communication channels having frequencies segregated on the PHS method side.
- the simple interference avoidance measure method places the communication channels of bands 0, 3 and 4 in FIG. 3 into the green zone 122Aa.
- the communication channels of bands 1, 2 and 5 are registered in the yellow zone 122Ab.

- the frequency bands F1, F2 and F5 overlapping with the bands 1, 2 and 5 are set to be usable, and the frequency bands F3 and F4 overlapping with the bands 3 and 4 cannot be used. Is set to the correct state.
- by simply dividing the PHS communication channel set and registered in the communication channel management table 122A into two it can be divided into whether the PHS communication channel can be used or not. Since the communication band of the PHS system registered in the green zone 122Aa and made usable does not overlap with the DECT system, the communication channel does not receive interference from the DECT system communication. Similarly, since the communication band of the DECT system communication channel does not overlap with the PHS system, there is no interference from the PHS system communication.
- the communication channel switching control unit 123 shown in FIG. 1 is activated when a communication request is started, when a communication channel is switched, or when a request for acquiring a new communication channel or a request for switching to another communication channel occurs, such as when performing a handover.
- the communication channel management table 122A managed by the communication channel management unit 122 is referred to and the ranking is used and managed.
- control is performed such that the communication channels with high ranking are preferentially selected and assigned as communication channels in which radio wave interference has not occurred.
- the communication channel switching control unit 123 preferentially selects an available communication channel from among the communication channels belonging to the green zone 122Aa of the communication channel management table 122A and uses it. If the communication channel belonging to the green zone 122Aa does not have an available communication channel, the next highest priority communication is performed. An available communication channel is selected from the communication channels belonging to the yellow zone 122Ab of the channel management table 122A, and control is performed so as to be assigned as a communication channel to be used or a communication channel to be switched.
- the communication channel management table 122A is installed on the main apparatus (ME) 11 side instead of the base station (CS) 12
- the communication channel switching control unit 123 is installed on the main apparatus (ME) 11 side. Needless to say, it is only necessary to access and appropriately refer to the registered contents of the communication channel management table 122A.
- the simple interference avoidance measure is a method for realizing interference avoidance by assigning a static communication channel, and statically assigns a frequency band in which the DECT method can be used and a frequency band in which the PHS method can be used.
- the simple interference avoidance measure is a method for realizing interference avoidance by assigning a static communication channel, and statically assigns a frequency band in which the DECT method can be used and a frequency band in which the PHS method can be used.
- communication channels of frequencies that can be used in both the DECT method and the PHS method using the same frequency band of 1.9 GHz band are completely separated. For example, in the case of using three frequency bands of F1, F2, and F5 among five frequency bands as a cordless telephone system of the DECT system, in order to reduce interference with the DECT system as much as possible, As shown in FIG.
- the band 1 ch1 to ch5 channel, the band 2 ch6 to ch10 channel, and the band 5 ch24 are overlapped bands on the PHS system side corresponding to the three frequency bands F1, F2, and F5.
- Each communication channel of the ch28 channel is set and registered as a frequency band that cannot be used on the PHS system side.
- a case of performing an interference avoidance measure by adaptive communication channel assignment will be described by taking as an example the case of performing interference avoidance with a DECT radio wave.
- the segregation method based on the frequency band of the DECT method and the PHS method is effective in terms of obtaining an interference avoidance effect. Therefore, a method is adopted in which such segregation is executed dynamically and adaptively. Note that such an adaptive communication channel assignment method is not limited to the DECT method, and can be applied to other heterogeneous wireless methods in the same manner.
- the PHS base station (CS) 12 is a “clean” communication channel in which there are no radio waves or jamming waves of different types of radio systems other than the PHS system (ie, radio waves or jamming waves of different types of radio systems other than the PHS system). It is based on managing the ranking of each communication channel based on whether or not the communication channel has a frequency at which radio wave interference does not occur. For this reason, the PHS base station (CS) 12 operates the carrier sensing unit 121 shown in FIG. 1 and periodically senses the surrounding radio waves at a predetermined sampling period, thereby detecting the PHS method.
- the carrier sense unit 121 provides the data obtained as a result of the carrier sense to the communication channel management unit 122 as a carrier sense result.
- This carrier sense result represents a detection result of a radio wave or an interference wave of a heterogeneous radio system other than the PHS system.
- the communication channel management unit 122 receives the carrier sense result from the carrier sense unit 121, and changes the registration position of each communication channel in the communication channel management table 122A according to the carrier sense result. That is, when a carrier sense result regarding a frequency band of a certain communication channel indicates that a radio wave or an interfering wave of a heterogeneous wireless method other than the PHS method is detected by the carrier sense unit 121, radio interference occurs in the communication channel. As a result, the registration position of the communication channel in the communication channel management table 122A is lowered in the lower ranking direction. On the other hand, the communication channel originally ranked one level lower than the communication channel dropped in the lower ranking direction is replaced with the communication channel dropped in the lower direction, and is raised in the higher ranking direction. As described above, the communication channel management unit 122 periodically reviews the registration position of the communication channel in the communication channel management table 122A.
- the PHS base station (CS) 12 registers the communication channel management table 122A in the communication channel switching control unit 123 shown in FIG. Referring to the contents, among the available communication channels that are ranked and managed, the communication channels that are ranked higher as the communication channels that do not cause radio interference are preferentially selected and used. As a communication channel to be switched or a communication channel to be switched.
- the carrier sense unit 121 shown in FIG. 1 when carrier sensing of the surrounding radio wave is performed in the carrier sense unit 121 shown in FIG. 1, if the presence / absence of the radio wave is determined using only a short-term sampling result, the radio wave or interference of a heterogeneous radio system other than the PHS system is detected. Since waves may be overlooked, regular monitoring is performed at predetermined sampling intervals to dynamically detect “clean” call channels that do not contain radio waves or jamming waves other than PHS. In the communication channel management unit 122 shown in FIG. 1, it is important to adaptively manage the ranking of communication channels that can be used preferentially.
- carrier sense method for identifying radio waves other than the PHS system in the PHS base station Next, a carrier sense method for monitoring radio waves other than PHS and interference waves in the carrier sense unit 121 of the PHS base station (CS) 12 shown in FIG. 1 will be described.
- the carrier sensing method any of the following three methods may be adopted.
- Carrier sense method A A method of regularly monitoring surrounding radio waves by utilizing unused time slots that are unused in the PHS frame structure as monitor channels for radio monitoring in the PHS base station (CS) 12.
- Carrier sense method B Method of monitoring peripheral radio waves by a dedicated dedicated base station that constantly monitors by open search
- Carrier sense method C Peripheral by PHS terminal (PS) 13 that is not communicating To periodically monitor the radio wave of and notify the PHS base station (CS) 12 of the monitoring result
- the frame structure on the time axis of the PHS system is 5 ms half-duplex (Ping-Pong) transmission, and the communication channel is configured to transmit / receive every 5 ms. Transmission / reception is performed intermittently.
- the time slot of the control channel is in units of 5 ms, and the remaining 24 out of 26 times are idle, so that the PHS base station (CS) 12 is idle among the time slots of the control channel.
- This time zone can be used as a time for monitoring radio waves and interference waves other than the PHS system (ie, monitor channel).
- the PHS cordless radio telephone system may be a radio wave of a PHS cordless radio telephone system other than the self PHS cordless radio telephone system that is not synchronized with the time axis (time slot). is there.
- radio waves of other PHS cordless radio telephone systems that are not synchronized with the time axis (time slot) are considered to be “jamming waves” for the cordless radio telephone system of the own PHS system, There is no problem even if it is regarded as radio waves.
- the carrier sense method A for performing radio wave monitoring using an unused time slot on the PHS frame structure in addition to the unused time slot on the PHS frame structure, for communication used as a communication channel.
- the time slot for example, time slots T1, T2, T3,
- the reception slot of the communication time slot in the unused state is further set to the first slot.
- the operation may be performed such that it is used as a monitor channel for monitoring surrounding radio waves.
- the dedicated base station dedicated to the monitor does not have a transmission channel (Tx), but includes only a reception channel (Rx) that exclusively monitors the radio wave.
- the DECT frame is used to monitor the DECT radio wave.
- the long 10 ms is assigned as the monitoring time for each communication channel, and during the first 10 ms, the radio wave of the frequency of the ch1 communication channel is monitored 16 times by the monitor channel having a width of 0.625 ms. During the next 10 ms, the radio wave of the frequency of the ch2 communication channel is monitored 16 times by the monitor channel of 0.625 ms width, and further, the monitor of 0.625 ms width is monitored for the next 10 ms The operation of monitoring the radio wave of the frequency of the ch3 communication channel for 16 times by channel is sequentially performed every 10 ms. While switching the frequency of the signal channel and repeats the operation of monitoring a radio wave.
- the radio wave when the radio wave is discovered by monitoring the radio wave frequency related to the communication channels other than the PHS control channels (ch12 channel, ch18 channel) over all 40 waves, It is necessary to identify whether the radio wave is a radio wave other than the PHS method.
- the main device 11 of the own PHS cordless telephone system manages the use / non-use status of the communication channel used by the own system, so that the own PHS cordless telephone system uses it.
- a radio wave other than the communication channel it can be considered that a radio wave other than the PHS method or an interference wave is detected.
- the dedicated base station dedicated to monitoring transmits the result of carrier sense to each PHS base station (CS) 12 periodically at a predetermined sampling period.
- Each PHS base station (CS) 12 receives the result of the carrier sense transmitted from the dedicated base station for each sampling period in the second receiving channel provided for each sampling period.
- radio waves discovered at the timing of unused time slots in the control channel of the PHS cordless telephone system can be regarded as radio waves other than the PHS method. There is no.
- the carrier sense method B has a merit that a dedicated base station dedicated to radio wave monitoring can be used to perform monitoring with little missing on the time axis. (Base station) is required separately.
- the carrier sense method C in which peripheral radio waves are periodically monitored by a non-communication state such as an empty PHS terminal (for example, the PHS terminal (PS) 13 shown in FIG. 1).
- the PHS terminal (PS) 13 when the PHS terminal (PS) 13 is in an unused state that is not used for communication, the PHS terminal (PS) 13 arbitrarily determines an operation for monitoring surrounding radio waves.
- the PHS terminal (PS) 13 belongs periodically at a predetermined sampling period as a terminal monitor result.
- An operation to report to the PHS base station (CS) 12 that is being operated is performed.
- Each PHS base station (CS) 12 receives the result of the carrier sense transmitted from the PHS terminal (PS) 13 for each sampling period in the third receiving channel provided for each sampling period.
- radio radio waves using a modulation system other than the modulation system (QPSK or BPSK) adopted for the PHS system are also wireless other than the PHS system. It is possible to further use a method of assuming that the radio wave is used.
- QPSK or BPSK modulation system
- all 40 waves (ch251 to ch255 channel, ch1 to ch11 channel, ch13 to ch17 channel, ch19 to ch19) other than the control channel (ch12 channel, ch18 channel) in the PHS system are used.
- each frequency of all 40 waves is sequentially monitored in units of 5 ms to 10 ms, a time of about 400 ms at maximum is required to make a round of all 40 waves. For this reason, one radio frequency cannot be measured continuously, and measurement is performed in pieces, so that the measurement result for each radio frequency unit is displayed on the time axis using the communication channel management table 122A.
- the result of determining whether or not there is a radio wave other than the PHS system or an interfering wave is sequentially managed by the communication channel management table 122A.
- the ranking in this ranking management refers to the rank of each communication channel as the rank of the radio wave interference level, which is the judgment result for each communication channel obtained by detecting the presence or absence of radio waves and jamming waves other than the PHS system.
- This means that the communication channels are assigned to the communication channel management table 122A in the rank order (setting registration).
- the DECT system signal pulse width is about 0.100 ms, which is shorter than the PHS system signal pulse width of 0.625 ms. Therefore, in order to determine the presence / absence of radio wave interference, the received radio wave intensity (RSSI) of the radio wave measured within the measurement time of the monitor channel width 0.625 ms for monitoring the radio wave is averaged. It is desirable to extract and measure the peak hold value of the received radio wave intensity measured in the monitor channel.
- RSSI received radio wave intensity

If no radio wave or interference wave other than the PHS method is found (NO in step S2), the process ends without updating the communication channel management table 122A. On the other hand, when a radio wave or jamming wave other than the PHS method is found (YES in step S2), a call channel having a frequency at which a radio wave or jamming wave other than the PHS method is found is extracted (step S3).
- the ranking on the communication channel management table 122A is 1 for each of the two call channels, the call channel A and the call channel C, extracted as the call channels of the frequency where the radio wave and the interference wave other than the PHS method are found.
- the contents are lowered one by one and updated to the registered contents of call channel B, call channel A, call channel D, call channel C, call channel E, call channel F,... In order from the top of the ranking (step S4).

For example, in a state where the registration content of the communication channel management table 122A is updated to the registration content of FIG. 5D, a call start request occurs, a call channel switching request occurs, or a handover occurs. In such a case, the communication channel switching control unit 123 operates so as to preferentially select and assign the call channel B ranked at the top of the communication channel management table 122A.

Description
本発明は、かかる事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、事業所用として設置したPHS方式のデジタルコードレス電話システムの通信エリアに他の異種無線方式のデジタルコードレス電話システム例えばDECT方式のデジタルコードレス電話システムの通信エリアが重複して存在するような場合であっても、PHS方式側における通信チャネル(通話チャネル)に対する電波干渉を確実に回避することが可能な事業所用デジタルコードレス電話システム、干渉回避方法および干渉回避プログラムが格納された非一時的なコンピュータ可読媒体を提供することをその目的としている。
本発明の実施形態の説明に先立って、本発明の特徴についてその概要をまず説明する。本発明は、異種無線方式の無線電波や妨害電波による干渉からPHS方式の通信を効果的に保護、回避する仕組みを実現していることを主要な特徴としている。前述したように、日本においてデジタルコードレス電話システムとして新たに導入されるようになったDECT方式(J-DECT方式)の影響により、同じ無線周波数帯を使用する既存のPHS方式事業所用デジタルコードレス電話システムにおいて、通話が途切れる、通話が途中で切断される、通話を開始することができない等の問題が発生していた。
(1)グリーンゾーン:PHS方式以外の異種無線方式の無線電波や妨害波が発見されない通信チャネル(“綺麗な”通信チャネル)が属する最も優先度が高いゾーン。すなわち、使用する通信チャネルを優先的に割り当てることができるゾーン。
(2)イエローゾーン:PHS方式以外の異種無線方式の無線電波や妨害波があらかじめ定めた頻度閾値以下の頻度で時々発見される通信チャネルが属する優先度が次に高いゾーン。すなわち、使用する通信チャネルとしてグリーンゾーンに属する通信チャネルを割り当てることができない状態が発生した場合に、通信チャネルとして割り当てることができるゾーン。
(3)レッドゾーン:PHS方式以外の異種無線方式の無線電波や妨害波があらかじめ定めた前記頻度閾値を超える頻度で発見される通信チャネル(“汚れた”通信チャネル)が属する優先度が最も低いゾーン。すなわち、使用する通信チャネルとして割り当てることができないゾーン。
次に、本発明による事業所用デジタルコードレス電話システムのシステム構成について、その一例を、図1を用いて説明する。図1は、本発明による事業所用デジタルコードレス電話システムのシステム構成の一例を示すシステム構成図である。図1には、1.9GHz帯のPHS(Personal Handy-Phone System)方式を採用した本発明による事業所用デジタルコードレス電話システムと、1.9GHz帯を使用するDECT(Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications)方式のデジタルコードレス電話システムとの双方の通信エリアが互いに重複して存在している場合を示している。図1に示すDECT方式のデジタルコードレス電話システムは、PHS方式の事業所用デジタルコードレス電話システムと同一の周波数帯域を使用する他のデジタルコードレス電話システムの一例である。
(1)グリーンゾーン122Aa:PHS方式以外の異種無線方式の無線電波や妨害波が発見されない通信チャネル(すなわち、電波干渉が発生していない“綺麗な”通信チャネル)が属する最も優先度が高いゾーン。すなわち、使用する通信チャネルを選択する際に、最も優先的に通信チャネルとして選択して割り当てることができるゾーン。
(2)イエローゾーン122Ab:PHS方式以外の異種無線方式の無線電波や妨害波があらかじめ定めた頻度閾値以下の頻度で時々発見される通信チャネル(すなわち、電波干渉が通信品質上の許容範囲内で時々発生する通信チャネル)が属する次に優先度が高いゾーン。すなわち、使用する通信チャネルを選択する際に、グリーンゾーンに属する通信チャネルを割り当てることができない状態が発生した場合に、次に優先度が高い通信チャネルとして選択して割り当てることができるゾーン。
(3)レッドゾーン122Ac:PHS方式以外の異種無線方式の無線電波や妨害波があらかじめ定めた前記頻度閾値を超える頻度で発見される通信チャネル(すなわち、電波干渉が通信品質上の許容範囲を超えて頻発する“汚れた”通信チャネル)が属する優先度が最も低いゾーン。すなわち、干渉が発生する可能性が最も高い通信チャネルであり、使用する通信チャネルを選択する際に、通信チャネルとして割り当てることができないゾーン。
(1)グリーンゾーン122Aa:DECT方式と周波数が重複しない図3の帯域0の非重複領域(ch251~ch255チャネルの5つの通信チャネル、および、ch29~ch37チャネルの9つの通信チャネル)の合計14個の通信チャネル、並びに、図3の帯域3(ch14~ch16チャネルの3つの通信チャネル)および帯域4(ch20~ch23チャネルの4つの通信チャネル)という重複領域の合計7個の通信チャネルを設定登録する。ここで、PHS方式の帯域3および帯域4がDECT方式のF3およびF4の周波数帯域と重複するにも拘わらず、グリーンゾーン122Aaに登録するのは、前述したような日本の電波法のPHS保護規定に基づくことによっている。すなわち、段落0011で先に説明したように、PHS方式の制御チャネル(CCH)に対する干渉の発生を防止するために、DECT方式側のオープンサーチによるキャリアセンス結果として、PHS方式の1,898.45MHz(ch12チャネル)や1,900.25MHz(ch18チャネル)の制御信号を検出した場合、該制御チャネルの周波数と重複するDECT方式側のF3およびF4の運用を停止し、既存のPHS方式が運用されているエリアについては、DECT方式の運用周波数を制限するように、日本の電波法において規定されているからである。
(2)イエローゾーン122Ab:DECT方式と周波数が重複し、電波干渉が生じ得る帯域を設定登録する。図3には、周波数帯域がDECT方式の無線電波帯域と重なる帯域1~5を重複帯域として仕分けしてあるが、これら重複帯域のうちの帯域3および4はグリーンゾーン122Aaに登録することは前述した通りである。したがって、図3の重複帯域のうち、イエローゾーン122Abに登録するのは、帯域1,2および5である。帯域1はch1~ch5チャネルの5つの通信チャネルであり、帯域2はch6~ch10チャネルの5つの通信チャネルであり、また、帯域5はch24~ch28チャネルの5つの通信チャネルであり、合計15個の通信チャネルがイエローゾーン122Abに設定登録される。これら帯域1,2および5については、前述のような日本の電波法のPHS保護規定には規定されていない帯域であり、DECT方式の無線電波との干渉が発生しても、帯域3および4とは相違し、DECT方式側ではF1,F2またはF5における電波放射を停止し、干渉を回避してくれることは期待できないから、グリーンゾーン122Aaではなく、グリーンゾーン122Aaよりも割り当て優先順位が低いイエローゾーン122Abに設定登録するのである。
次に、図1に示した事業所用デジタルコードレス電話システムの動作についてその一例を詳細に説明する。まず、アダプティブな対策を適用しないで、静的に通信チャネルを割り当てる干渉回避対策(すなわち、簡易的干渉回避対策)について、DECT方式の無線電波との干渉回避を行う場合を例に採って説明する。なお、かかる静的な通信チャネルの割り当ては、DECT方式との間のみに限るものではなく、他の異種無線方式の場合であっても全く同様に可能である。
前述したように、簡易的干渉回避対策は、静的な通信チャネルの割り当てにより干渉回避を実現する方式であり、DECT方式が使用可能な周波数帯域とPHS方式が使用可能な周波数帯域とを静的に完全に「棲み分ける」ことによって、1.9GHz帯の同一周波数帯域を用いるDECT方式とPHS方式との双方の方式において使用可能な周波数の通信チャネルを完全に分離するものである。例えば、DECT方式のコードレス電話システムとして、5つの周波数帯域のうち、F1、F2、F5の3つの周波数帯域を使用しているような場合、DECT方式との間の干渉を極力減少させる目的から、図3に示したように、F1、F2、F5の3つの周波数帯域に対応するPHS方式側の重複帯域となる、帯域1のch1~ch5チャネル、帯域2のch6~ch10チャネル、帯域5のch24~ch28チャネルの各通信チャネルをPHS方式側においては使用不可能な周波数帯域として設定登録する。そして、残りのDECT方式側が使用していない周波数帯域のみを静的に割り当てることが可能になり、帯域3のch14~ch16チャネル、帯域4のch20~ch23チャネル、および、非重複帯域の帯域0のch251~ch255チャネル、ch29~ch37チャネルをPHS方式側において使用可能な周波数帯域として棲み分けして設定登録するように、PHS基地局(CS)12側の設定パラメータを変更して設定する。
次に、本格的な干渉回避対策として、アダプティブな通信チャネルの割り当てによる干渉回避対策を行う場合について、DECT方式の無線電波との干渉回避を行う場合を例に採って説明する。前述の簡易的干渉回避対策として説明したように、DECT方式とPHS方式との周波数帯域による棲み分け手法は干渉回避効果を得るという観点においては有効であるので、本本格的な干渉回避対策においては、かかる棲み分けを動的にアダプティブに実行するようにする方式を採用している。なお、かくのごときアダプティブな通信チャネルの割り当て方式は、DECT方式との間のみに限るものではなく、他の異種無線方式との間にも全く同様に適用できる。
まず、本格的な干渉回避対策のアダプティブ割り当て方式に関する基本原理についてその概要を説明する。PHS基地局(CS)12は、PHS方式以外の異種無線方式の無線電波や妨害波が存在していない“綺麗な”通信チャネル(つまり、PHS方式以外の異種無線方式の無線電波や妨害波による電波干渉が発生していない周波数の通信チャネル)であるか否かに基づいて、各通信チャネルのランキングを管理することを基本にしている。このため、PHS基地局(CS)12は、図1に示すキャリアセンス部121を動作させて、あらかじめ定めたサンプリング周期毎に、定期的に、周辺の無線電波をキャリアセンスすることにより、PHS方式の各通信チャネルの周波数帯域において、PHS方式以外の異種無線方式の無線電波や妨害波が発生しているか否かを監視している。キャリアセンス部121は、キャリアセンスにより得た結果のデータをキャリアセンス結果として、通信チャネル管理部122に提供する。このキャリアセンス結果は、PHS方式以外の異種無線方式の無線電波または妨害波の検知結果を表している。
次に、図1に示すPHS基地局(CS)12のキャリアセンス部121において、PHS以外の無線電波や妨害波を監視するためのキャリアセンス方法について説明する。該キャリアセンス方法としては、次の3つの方法のいずれを採用しても良い。
(キャリアセンス方法B):周辺の無線電波をオープンサーチにより常時監視するモニタ専用の専用基地局により監視する方法
(キャリアセンス方法C):通信を行っていない状態にあるPHS端末(PS)13により周辺の無線電波を定期的に監視し、監視結果をPHS基地局(CS)12に通知する方法
PHS方式以外の無線電波や妨害波を見極めるためのキャリアセンス方法として、さらに、PHS方式に採用される変調方式(QPSKやBPSK)以外の変調方式を用いた無線電波についても、PHS方式以外の無線電波であると見做す方法をさらに併用することが可能である。また、PHS方式以外の無線電波を監視する対象としては、PHS方式における制御チャネル(ch12チャネル,ch18チャネル)以外の全40波(ch251~ch255チャネル、ch1~ch11チャネル、ch13~ch17チャネル、ch19~ch37チャネル)のチャネルに亘るので、全40波の各周波数を5msないし10ms単位で順次監視していくと、全40波を一巡するためには、最大400ms程度の時間が必要になる。このため、一つの無線周波数を連続的に測定することができず、断片的に測定していくことになるので、各無線周波数単位の測定結果を、通信チャネル管理テーブル122Aを用いて、時間軸上で順次積み上げて、PHS方式以外の無線電波や妨害波の有無を判定した結果を、通信チャネル管理テーブル122Aによってランキング管理していくことになる。このランキング管理におけるランキングとは、PHS方式以外の無線電波や妨害波の有無を検知して得た各通信チャネルごとの判定結果である電波干渉レベルの順位を各通信チャネルのランク(等級)とみなし、通信チャネル管理テーブル122Aに各通信チャネルをそのランク順に割り付けること(設定登録すること)をいう。
次に、キャリアセンス部121による定期的な無線電波の監視結果に基づいて、通信チャネル管理部122において、通信チャネル管理テーブル122Aを用いて、“綺麗な”通信チャネルのランキングを管理する管理方法について、その一例を、図4のフローチャートを参照しながら詳細に説明する。図4は、図1に示すPHS基地局(CS)12の通信チャネル管理部122の動作の一例を説明するためのフローチャートである。このフローチャートは、あらかじめ定めたサンプリング周期毎に定期的にキャリアセンス部121から通知されてくるキャリアセンス結果に基づいて、通信チャネル管理テーブルの登録内容を更新する動作の一例を示している。
次に、サンプリング周期毎の通信チャネル管理テーブル122Aの登録内容の更新動作によって、各通信チャネルのランキング付けが更新された状態の通信チャネル管理テーブル122Aを参照する際に、更新された各通信チャネルのランキング順位を、図8のテーブルに示すように、次の3ゾーンに分けて管理するようにしても良い。図8は、図1に示すPHS基地局(CS)12の通信チャネル管理テーブル122Aのゾーン分けの一例を説明するためのテーブルであり、通信チャネルのランキングを次の3つのゾーンに分けて管理する場合について示している。なお、図8の通信チャネル管理テーブル122Aにおいては、通信チャネルとして音声通話用の通話チャネルを設定登録している場合を例に採って示している。
(2)イエローゾーン122Ab:PHS方式以外の無線電波や妨害波があらかじめ定めた頻度閾値以下の頻度で時々発見される通信チャネルが属する次に優先度が高いゾーン。すなわち、使用する通信チャネルを選択する際に、グリーンゾーン122Aaに属する通信チャネルを割り当てることができない状態が発生した場合に、次に優先度が高い通信チャネルとして選択して割り当てることができるゾーン。
(3)レッドゾーン122Ac:PHS方式以外の無線電波や妨害波があらかじめ定めた前記頻度閾値を超える頻度で発見される通信チャネル(すなわち、電波干渉が通信品質上の許容範囲を超えて頻発する“汚れた”通信チャネル)が属する優先度が最も低いゾーン。すなわち、干渉が発生する可能性が最も高い通信チャネルであり、使用する通信チャネルを選択する際に、通信チャネルとして割り当てることができないゾーン。
図9は、図1の事業所用デジタルコードレス電話システム10に適用することが可能なPHS自営1版とPHS自営3版との使用可能な周波数帯域を説明するための図である。前述したように、事業所用デジタルコードレス電話システム10に適用するPHS方式には、PHS自営1版とPHS自営3版との2つの方式が存在し、PHS自営1版とPHS自営3版とは、使用可能な周波数帯域が、図9に示すように、異なっている。
