Definitions
- This technology relates to terminals that perform wireless communication. More specifically, the present invention relates to a terminal that periodically performs wireless transmission and a wireless transmission control method thereof.
- a terminal With the conventional technology described above, it is possible for a terminal to transmit sensor information in a cycle of, for example, 30 minutes.
- a ground receiving station or a satellite receiving station By receiving this transmission signal by a ground receiving station or a satellite receiving station, it is possible to construct a radio system combining both.
- the satellite receiving station since the satellite receiving station is moving at a very high speed, it may be difficult to receive the periodically transmitted transmission signals. For example, a satellite at an altitude of 400 Km is moving at a speed of 7 Km per second, and since it moves 12,600 Km in 30 minutes, the communication distance becomes long and transmission may not be performed within the receivable range.
- This technology was created in view of this situation, and aims to improve the reception success rate of signals transmitted from terminals at satellite receiving stations.
- the present technology has been made to solve the above-described problems, and a first aspect thereof includes a terminal positioning unit that acquires a terminal position, which is the current position of the terminal, and the current time, and a satellite positioning unit that acquires a satellite position, which is the current position of the satellite receiving station, by a satellite positioning unit, a transmission cycle determination unit that determines a transmission cycle based on the terminal position and the satellite position, the current time, the terminal identifier of the terminal, and a terminal and its radio transmission, comprising: a radio resource determination unit for determining transmission timing and transmission frequency as radio resources based on the transmission period; and a transmission control unit for controlling radio transmission according to the transmission timing and the transmission frequency. control method. This brings about the effect of determining the transmission cycle from the terminal according to the positional relationship with the satellite receiving station.
- the transmission cycle determination unit determines a cycle that is at least not as long as the inter-satellite distance between the terminal satellites, which is the absolute value of the difference between the terminal position and the satellite position, is short as the transmission cycle. You may do so. As a result, the shorter the distance to the satellite receiving station, the shorter the transmission cycle.
- the transmission cycle determination unit sets the transmission cycle to a shorter cycle than when the terminal inter-satellite distance is longer than the threshold when the terminal inter-satellite distance is shorter than a predetermined threshold. may be determined as This has the effect of shortening the transmission period when the distance to the satellite receiving station is shorter than the threshold.
- the transmission cycle determination unit determines, when the terminal inter-satellite distance is shorter than a first threshold, a first is determined as the transmission period, and when the terminal inter-satellite distance is longer than the first threshold and shorter than the second threshold, which is longer than the first threshold, the terminal inter-satellite distance is the above A second period shorter than the second threshold may be determined as the transmission period.
- a plurality of threshold values are used to shorten the transmission cycle when the distance to the satellite receiving station is shortened.
- the transmission cycle determination unit determines a predetermined initial transmission cycle as the transmission cycle at the beginning of transmission, and when the inter-satellite distance between terminal satellites becomes shorter than a predetermined threshold, A period shorter than the initial transmission period may be determined as the transmission period, and the initial transmission period may be determined as the transmission period when the terminal-to-satellite distance is longer than a predetermined threshold. As a result, when the distance to the satellite receiving station is shortened, the transmission cycle is shortened from the initial transmission cycle.
- the transmission cycle determination unit determines a predetermined initial transmission cycle as the transmission cycle at the beginning of transmission, and when the inter-satellite distance between terminal satellites becomes shorter than a predetermined threshold, A period shorter than the initial transmission period may be determined as the transmission period, and a period longer than the initial transmission period may be determined as the transmission period when the inter-satellite distance is longer than a predetermined threshold. good. As a result, the longer the distance to the satellite receiving station, the longer the transmission cycle than the initial transmission cycle.
- the transmission cycle determination unit may determine an infinite cycle as the transmission cycle when the terminal-to-satellite distance is longer than a predetermined threshold. This has the effect of stopping transmission as the distance from the satellite receiving station increases.
- the first aspect further comprises a battery capacity obtaining unit that obtains a current battery capacity of a battery for operating the terminal, wherein the transmission cycle determining unit determines the inter-satellite distance between the terminal and the battery capacity.
- the transmission period may be determined according to In this case, when the battery capacity is less than a predetermined capacity threshold, the transmission cycle determination unit may determine a longer cycle as the transmission cycle than when the battery capacity is greater than the capacity threshold. . This brings about the effect of lengthening the transmission cycle when the remaining battery level is low.

Abstract
Description
1.第1の実施の形態(端末衛星間距離が近くなると送信周期を通常よりも短くする例)
2.第2の実施の形態(端末衛星間距離が遠くなると送信周期を通常よりも長くする例)
3.変形例
[無線システム]
図1は、本技術の実施の形態における無線システムの全体構成例を示す図である。
図2は、本技術の実施の形態における端末100の構成例を示す図である。
図3は、本技術の実施の形態における衛星受信局600の構成例を示す図である。
無線資源決定部150は、端末測位部120によって取得された現在時刻と、端末100の端末識別子と、送信周期決定部140によって決定された送信周期とから、以下のように送信タイミングを決定する。
n=div(t,SPduration)
SP(n)start-time=n×SPduration
m=div(Period,SPduration)
moft=mod(ID,m)
mod(n+moft,m)=0
TS(k)start-time in SP(n)=SP(n)start-time+
k×SPduration/nTS
無線システムとして利用可能な周波数チャネルの数をnFとする。ここではnF=4として説明する。無線資源決定部150は、送信時刻を決定するために生成した12ビットの疑似乱数系列の後に、さらに8ビットの疑似乱数系列を生成する。nF=4であるため、8ビットを2ビットずつ、4つに分割して、各2ビットを10進数に変換した値を送信周波数番号とする。周波数番号は、実際に送信する場合の搬送波周波数の中心周波数に対応している。
図5は、本技術の実施の形態における端末100の処理手順例を示す流れ図である。
上述の第1の実施の形態では衛星受信局600との距離が近くなった場合以外は送信周期を通常の初期周期X0にしていたが、端末衛星間距離が遠くなった場合には送信周期をさらに長い周期にしてもよい。この第2の実施の形態では、端末衛星間距離が閾値よりも遠くなった場合に送信周期を長周期に設定することにより、端末100の消費電力の抑制を図る。なお、無線システムとしての構成自体は上述の第1の実施の形態と同様であるため、詳細な説明を省略する。
上述の第1の実施の形態では送信周期として初期周期X0および短周期X1を想定したが、この第2の実施の形態ではさらに長周期X2を想定する。例えば、初期周期X0を30分、短周期X1を10分とした場合、長周期X2としては60分を想定する。これらの送信周期は、サービス契約時に決定されており、端末100の端末識別子とともに、事前にサーバ400から供給される。
[第1の変形例]
本技術の第1および第2の実施の形態においては、端末100のバッテリ容量を考慮して送信周期を設定してもよい。この第1の変形例では、端末100のバッテリ容量に基づいて送信周期を設定する例について説明する。
本技術の第1および第2の実施の形態においては、1つの閾値を用いて送信周期を切り替えていたが、閾値は複数であってもよい。この第2の変形例として示すように、複数の閾値を用いることにより、送信周期を段階的に切り替えることができる。
