本発明は、日本国特許出願:特願2015-198008号(2015年10月5日出願)の優先権主張に基づくものであり、同出願の全記載内容は引用をもって本書に組み込み記載されているものとする。
本発明は、アンテナ指向制御信号生成装置と無線通信装置と無線通信制御システムとアンテナ指向性制御方法並びにプログラムに関する。
・探索処理に時間がかかる、又は、
・プリコーディングウェイトの計算が複雑になる、
という問題があることが知られている。また、図16を参照して説明した構成の場合、プリコーディングウェイトの演算量は抑えることはできるが、例えばアンテナ数の増大とともにコードブック数が大量になるという問題がある。
・探索処理に時間を要する、又は、
・プリコーディングウェイトの計算が複雑である、という問題がある。
前記画像データからユーザを認識する画像処理と、
前記画像処理での認識結果からユーザの位置情報を推定するユーザ位置推定と、
前記ユーザの位置情報に基づき、動的セルの形成、又は、ユーザ個別ビームフォーミング用にユーザをクラスタリングするユーザクラスタリング処理と、
前記ユーザクラスタリング処理での結果を基に、前記基地局のアンテナの指向性の制御パラメータを算出するアンテナ指向制御パラメータ計算と、を行う構成としてもよい。
図1は、第1の例示的な実施の形態の構成を例示した図である。図1を参照すると、無線通信装置200は、基地局処理部20、画像処理部40、ユーザ位置推定部50、ユーザクラスタリング部60、アンテナ指向制御パラメータ計算部70を備え、画像処理結果を用いて、ユーザ位置を推定し、ユーザクラスタリングを行うことによって、所望のアンテナ指向制御パラメータを計算する。なお、無線通信装置200において、20、40、50、60、70の各部は一つのノード(装置)に配置する構成としてもよいし、いくつかのノードに分散配置する構成としてもよい。例えば、画像処理部40、ユーザ位置推定部50、ユーザクラスタリング部60、アンテナ指向制御パラメータ計算部70を、アンテナ指向制御パラメータを生成する装置として一つのノードに配置し、アンテナ指向制御パラメータ、ユーザクラスタリング情報を基地局処理部20に送信する構成としてもよい。
・入力された画像データ内の「顔」判定された領域の位置情報(座標情報や大きさ等)と、
・当該画像データを撮像したカメラのID(識別情報)を不図示の記憶部に記憶しておき、
画像処理部40の顔認証処理部401の顔検出処理で、顔が検知された場合に、検知された「顔」領域の位置情報(座標情報や大きさ等)から、撮像カメラからの対象の方向や距離を推定する。
・対象がどの基地局セル/セクタに収容されているか、及び、
・該基地局セル/セクタを形成しているRRU(アンテナ)100からの対象の方向(角度や距離)を推定する。
・対象がどのRRU100が形成する基地局セル/セクタに収容されているか、及び、
・当該RRUから見た対象の方向(角度や距離)、
を推定するようにしてもよい。

等を含むようにしてもよい。
・各ユーザにそれぞれ直交するビームの割り当てが難しい、あるいは、
・セル/セクタ内に存在するユーザ数が予め定められた最大可能多重数よりも多い、
等の場合、1つのビームに、複数の端末をマッピングするように、クラスタリング、及びビーム形成を行うようにしてもよい。例えば、図5において、複数の端末1A、1Bからなるクラスタ、端末1D、1Eからなるクラスタ、端末1F、1Gからなるクラスタに対して、それぞれ、1つのビーム102が割り当てられている。また、1つのクラスタに、群衆検知部403により検知されたユーザ群(群衆)をマッピングするようにしても良い。
(u,v)=argmax |uHHv|,
||u||=||v||=1
すなわち、ビームフォーミングチャネルのゲイン|uHHv|を最大とする送信側と受信側のビームフォーミングウェイトv、u(ノルムは1に正規化されている)を求める。ビームフォーミングウェイトv、uは、それぞれ送信側と受信側の正規化されたビームフォーミングベクトルでもよい。なお、反復法の一例では、例えば、以下の受信ベクトル(受信ウェイト)決定のステップ1と送信ベクトル(送信ウェイト)決定のステップ2を有する。すなわち、
ステップ1: u(i)= norm (H v(i))
ステップ2: v(i+1)= norm (HH u(i))
ただし、norm (x)=x/||x||
等により、各チャネルについて、所望の信号品質(例えばSNR(Signal to Noise Ratio)等)を実現する送信側のビームフォーミングべクトルを決定する。なお、上記ビームフォーミングべクトルuとチャネル行列Hの肩のHはエルミート演算子(転置・複素共役)である。

・C-RNTI(Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identifier)情報、
・IMSI(International Mobile Subscriber Identity)、TMSI(Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity)、
等の少なくとも一つ又は複数の組み合わせ等を用いるようにしてもよい。なお、IMSIは携帯電話ユーザに割り当てられている一意な識別番号である。盗聴等により通話が特定できないようにするため、IMSIの代わりに、ランダムに生成されるTMSIが送信される。
・同一時間の複数の基地局セル/セクタで取得された端末ID候補情報、又は、

等を用いるようにしてもよい。
同様に、時間t2、場所p2において、端末ID候補A、B、C、E、Fが検出され、
