 図6は、実施の形態1に係る列車無線通信システムの動作を示すシーケンス図である。以下、図6に基づいて、実施の形態1に係る列車無線通信システムの動作を説明する。 FIG. 6 is a sequence diagram showing the operation of the train radio communication system according to the first embodiment. The operation of the train radio communication system according to Embodiment 1 will be described below based on FIG.
 基地局装置20の通信制御部21に対向装置40への折り返し登録情報が未登録の状態では、移動局装置30と中央局装置10との間で通信が行われる。つまり、移動局装置30が第2通信方式で送信した電文は、基地局装置20に受信され、基地局装置20がそれを第1通信方式で中央局装置10へ転送する(ステップST101)。また、中央局装置10が第1通信方式で送信した電文は、基地局装置20に受信され、基地局装置20がそれを第2通信方式で移動局装置30へ転送する(ステップST102)。 Communication is performed between the mobile station device 30 and the central station device 10 when the return registration information for the opposite device 40 is not registered in the communication control unit 21 of the base station device 20 . That is, the message transmitted by the mobile station apparatus 30 using the second communication method is received by the base station apparatus 20, and the base station apparatus 20 transfers it to the central office apparatus 10 using the first communication method (step ST101). Also, the telegram transmitted by the central station apparatus 10 in the first communication method is received by the base station apparatus 20, and the base station apparatus 20 transfers it to the mobile station apparatus 30 in the second communication method (step ST102).
 詳細には、ステップST101では、移動局装置30の無線通信部31が、第2通信方式で、電文を無線フレームの形で基地局装置20の無線通信部23へ送信する。基地局装置20の無線通信部23は、受信した無線フレームを多重化部22へ送信し、多重化部22が無線フレームから電文を分離する。多重化部22は、分離した電文を通信制御部21へ送信する。通信制御部21は、折り返し登録情報が未登録であるため、当該電文は中央局装置10宛であると判断し、中央局装置10の通信制御部13へ当該電文を転送する。 Specifically, in step ST101, the wireless communication unit 31 of the mobile station device 30 transmits a message in the form of a wireless frame to the wireless communication unit 23 of the base station device 20 using the second communication method. The radio communication unit 23 of the base station device 20 transmits the received radio frame to the multiplexing unit 22, and the multiplexing unit 22 separates the message from the radio frame. The multiplexing unit 22 transmits the separated messages to the communication control unit 21 . Since the return registration information is not registered, the communication control unit 21 determines that the telegram is addressed to the central office device 10 and transfers the telegram to the communication control unit 13 of the central office device 10 .
 また、ステップST102では、中央局装置10の通信制御部13が、第1通信方式で、基地局装置20の通信制御部21へ電文を送信する。基地局装置20の通信制御部21は、折り返し登録情報が未登録であるため、受信した電文が移動局装置30宛であると判断し、当該電文を多重化部22へ送信する。多重化部22は、当該電文を多重化して無線フレームの形で無線通信部23へ送信する。無線通信部23は、当該無線フレームを第2通信方式で移動局装置30の無線通信部31へ送信する。 Also, in step ST102, the communication control section 13 of the central office device 10 transmits a message to the communication control section 21 of the base station device 20 using the first communication method. Since the return registration information is not registered, the communication control unit 21 of the base station device 20 determines that the received message is addressed to the mobile station device 30 and transmits the message to the multiplexing unit 22 . The multiplexing unit 22 multiplexes the message and transmits it to the wireless communication unit 23 in the form of a wireless frame. The radio communication unit 23 transmits the radio frame to the radio communication unit 31 of the mobile station device 30 using the second communication method.
 中央局装置10の試験を行う場合、まず、対向装置40が、第3通信方式で、対向装置40への折り返し登録を意味する電文を、基地局装置20に送信する。基地局装置20は、対向装置40からの折り返し登録を意味する電文を受信すると、中央局装置10から受信した電文の転送先を、移動局装置30から試験用の対向装置40に変更する(ステップST103)。これにより、対向装置40を用いた中央局装置10の試験が可能な状態となる。 When testing the central office device 10, first, the opposing device 40 transmits to the base station device 20 a telegram indicating return registration to the opposing device 40 using the third communication method. When the base station device 20 receives the message indicating return registration from the opposite device 40, it changes the transfer destination of the message received from the central station device 10 from the mobile station device 30 to the opposite device 40 for testing (step ST103). This makes it possible to test the central office equipment 10 using the counterpart equipment 40 .
 詳細には、ステップST103では、対向装置40の監視制御部42が、対向装置40への折り返し登録を意味する電文を通信制御部41へ送信する。通信制御部41は、当該電文を基地局装置20の通信制御部21へ送信する。基地局装置20の通信制御部21は、折り返し登録を意味する電文を受信すると、折り返し登録情報を登録することで、中央局装置10から受信した電文の転送先を、試験用の対向装置40に切り替える。 Specifically, in step ST103 , the monitor control unit 42 of the opposed device 40 transmits to the communication control unit 41 a message indicating return registration to the opposed device 40 . The communication control unit 41 transmits the message to the communication control unit 21 of the base station device 20 . Upon receiving a telegram indicating return registration, the communication control unit 21 of the base station device 20 registers the return registration information, thereby setting the transfer destination of the telegram received from the central office device 10 to the opposite device 40 for testing. switch.
 続いて、対向装置40は、第3通信方式で、基地局装置20へ電文を送信する。対向装置40から送信された電文は、基地局装置20に受信され、基地局装置20はそれを第1通信方式で中央局装置10へ転送する(ステップST104)。 Subsequently, the counterpart device 40 transmits a message to the base station device 20 using the third communication method. The message transmitted from the opposite device 40 is received by the base station device 20, and the base station device 20 transfers it to the central office device 10 by the first communication method (step ST104).
 詳細には、ステップST104では、対向装置40の通信制御部41が、第3通信方式で基地局装置20の通信制御部21へ電文を送信する。基地局装置20の通信制御部21は、折り返し登録情報が登録中であるため、当該電文を第1通信方式で中央局装置10の通信制御部13へ送信する。 Specifically, in step ST104, the communication control section 41 of the opposite device 40 transmits a message to the communication control section 21 of the base station device 20 using the third communication method. Since the return registration information is being registered, the communication control unit 21 of the base station device 20 transmits the message to the communication control unit 13 of the central station device 10 using the first communication method.
 試験中に、移動局装置30から第2通信方式で電文が送信された場合、その電文は基地局装置20に受信されるが、基地局装置20はそれを中央局装置10へ転送せずに破棄する(ステップST105)。 During the test, when a message is transmitted from the mobile station device 30 by the second communication method, the message is received by the base station device 20, but the base station device 20 does not transfer it to the central station device 10. Discard (step ST105).
 詳細には、ステップST105では、移動局装置30の無線通信部31が、第2通信方式で電文を基地局装置20の無線通信部23へ送信する。基地局装置20の無線通信部23は、受信した無線フレームを多重化部22へ送信し、多重化部22が無線フレームから電文を分離する。多重化部22は、分離した電文を通信制御部21へ送信する。通信制御部21は、折り返し登録情報が登録中であるため、受信した電文を破棄する。 Specifically, in step ST105, the wireless communication unit 31 of the mobile station device 30 transmits a message to the wireless communication unit 23 of the base station device 20 using the second communication method. The radio communication unit 23 of the base station device 20 transmits the received radio frame to the multiplexing unit 22, and the multiplexing unit 22 separates the message from the radio frame. The multiplexing unit 22 transmits the separated messages to the communication control unit 21 . Since the return registration information is being registered, the communication control unit 21 discards the received message.
 また、試験中に、中央局装置10が、第1通信方式で電文を送信すると、当該電文は基地局装置20に受信され、基地局装置20がそれを第3通信方式で対向装置40へ転送する(ステップST106)。 Also, during the test, when the central office device 10 transmits a telegram in the first communication method, the telegram is received by the base station device 20, and the base station device 20 transfers it to the opposite device 40 in the third communication method. (step ST106).
 詳細には、ステップST106では、中央局装置10の通信制御部13が、第1通信方式で基地局装置20の通信制御部21へ電文を送信する。基地局装置20の通信制御部21は、折り返し登録情報が登録中であるため、当該電文が対向装置40宛であると判断し、第3通信方式で対向装置40の通信制御部41へ当該電文を転送する。 Specifically, in step ST106, the communication control section 13 of the central office device 10 transmits a message to the communication control section 21 of the base station device 20 using the first communication method. Since the return registration information is being registered, the communication control unit 21 of the base station device 20 determines that the message is addressed to the opposite device 40, and sends the message to the communication control unit 41 of the opposite device 40 using the third communication method. transfer.
 ステップST104およびステップST106の処理により、中央局装置10の指令電話機と対向装置40との通話試験や、保守端末から対向装置40の状態監視の試験が可能となり、中央局装置10の機能健全性を確認することができる。なお、試験中は、ステップST105に示したように、基地局装置20が、移動局装置30からの電文を中央局装置10に転送しないため、移動局装置30が基地局装置20に在線することができず、移動局装置30と中央局装置10との間の通信は行われない。 Through the processing of steps ST104 and ST106, it becomes possible to perform a call test between the command telephone of the central office equipment 10 and the opposite equipment 40, and a test of monitoring the status of the opposite equipment 40 from the maintenance terminal. can be confirmed. During the test, as shown in step ST105, the base station apparatus 20 does not transfer the message from the mobile station apparatus 30 to the central station apparatus 10. communication between the mobile station apparatus 30 and the central office apparatus 10 is not performed.
 試験を終了する場合は、対向装置40が、第3通信方式で基地局装置20に折り返し停止を意味する電文を送信する。基地局装置20は、折り返し停止を意味する電文を受信すると、中央局装置10からの電文の転送先を、移動局装置30に戻す(ステップST107)。これにより、移動局装置30が基地局装置20に在線できるようになり、移動局装置30と中央局装置10との間の通信が可能となる。一方、対向装置40は使用できなくなる。 When ending the test, the counterpart device 40 transmits a telegram meaning stop calling back to the base station device 20 using the third communication method. Upon receiving the telegram indicating the stop of the return, the base station device 20 returns the transfer destination of the telegram from the central station device 10 to the mobile station device 30 (step ST107). As a result, the mobile station device 30 can be on-line with the base station device 20, and communication between the mobile station device 30 and the central station device 10 becomes possible. On the other hand, the opposing device 40 becomes unusable.
 詳細には、ステップST107では、対向装置40の監視制御部42が、折り返し停止を意味する電文を通信制御部41へ送信する。通信制御部41は、当該電文を基地局装置20の通信制御部21へ送信する。基地局装置20の通信制御部21は、折り返し停止を意味する電文を受信すると、折り返し登録情報の登録を解除することで、中央局装置10からの電文の転送先を、移動局装置30に切り替える。 Specifically, in step ST107, the monitor control unit 42 of the counterpart device 40 transmits a message to the communication control unit 41 indicating that the return is to be stopped. The communication control unit 41 transmits the message to the communication control unit 21 of the base station device 20 . When the communication control unit 21 of the base station device 20 receives the message indicating stop of return, it cancels the registration of the return registration information, thereby switching the transfer destination of the message from the central station device 10 to the mobile station device 30. .
 上記の試験は、複数の基地局装置20のそれぞれに対して実施することができる。 The above test can be performed for each of the plurality of base station devices 20.
 このように、実施の形態1に係る列車無線通信システムにおける中央局装置10の試験は、基地局装置20が中央局装置10からの電文を対向装置40へ折り返すことによって行われるため、当該試験では、無線通信の方式である第2通信方式は用いられず、有線通信の方式である第1通信方式および第3通信方式のみが用いられる。従って、地理的な制約を受けることなく、中央局装置10の試験を行うことができる。 As described above, the test of the central station device 10 in the train radio communication system according to Embodiment 1 is performed by the base station device 20 returning the message from the central station device 10 to the opposite device 40. Therefore, in the test , the second communication method, which is a wireless communication method, is not used, and only the first and third communication methods, which are wire communication methods, are used. Therefore, the central office device 10 can be tested without being subject to geographical restrictions.
 <実施の形態2>
 実施の形態1では、中央局装置10と新基地局装置20Nとの間の通信は、中央局装置10と旧基地局装置20Lとの間の通信と同様に、従来の有線区間の通信方式である第1通信方式で行われる。そのため、中央局装置10からの電文を移動局装置30へ折り返す新基地局装置20Nの動作モードと、試験のために中央局装置10からの電文を対向装置40へ折り返す新基地局装置20Nの動作モードとを、排他的に切り替える必要があった。
<Embodiment 2>

Therefore, the operation mode of the new base station device 20N that returns the message from the central office device 10 to the mobile station device 30 and the operation of the new base station device 20N that returns the message from the central office device 10 to the opposite device 40 for testing It was necessary to switch between modes exclusively.
 実施の形態2では、中央局装置10と新基地局装置20Nとの間の通信方式として、電文の宛先を指定できる新たな第4通信方式を導入し、さらに、新基地局装置20Nと対向装置40との間の第3通信方式にも電文の宛先を指定できる通信方式を採用する。それにより、基地局装置20が中央局装置10からの電文を移動局装置30へ転送するか、対向装置40へ折り返すかを動的に切り替えできるようにする。 In the second embodiment, as a communication method between the central station device 10 and the new base station device 20N, a new fourth communication method capable of specifying the destination of a telegram is introduced. 40 also employs a communication system capable of designating the destination of the electronic message. Thereby, the base station device 20 can dynamically switch between forwarding the message from the central station device 10 to the mobile station device 30 and returning it to the opposite device 40 .

 図12は、実施の形態2に係る列車無線通信システムの動作を示すシーケンス図である。以下、図12に基づいて、実施の形態2に係る列車無線通信システムの動作を説明する。ここでも、説明の簡略化のため、基地局装置20は全て新基地局装置20Nであるものと仮定する。よって、以下の説明における「基地局装置20」は、新基地局装置20Nであるものとする。 FIG. 12 is a sequence diagram showing the operation of the train radio communication system according to the second embodiment. The operation of the train radio communication system according to the second embodiment will be described below with reference to FIG. Again, to simplify the explanation, it is assumed that all base station devices 20 are new base station devices 20N. Therefore, the “base station device 20” in the following description is assumed to be the new base station device 20N.
 中央局装置10の試験が行われないとき、中央局装置10は、第4通信方式で送信する電文の列車無線プロトコルヘッダの宛先に移動局装置30の識別子を設定する。また、基地局装置20は、移動局装置30から受信した電文の列車無線プロトコルヘッダの宛先に中央局装置10を設定する。そのため、移動局装置30が第2通信方式で送信した電文が基地局装置20に受信されると、基地局装置20はそれを第4通信方式で中央局装置10へ転送する(ステップST201)。また、中央局装置10が第4通信方式で送信した電文が基地局装置20に受信されると、基地局装置20はそれを第2通信方式で移動局装置30へ転送する(ステップST202)。 When the central office device 10 is not tested, the central office device 10 sets the identifier of the mobile station device 30 as the destination of the train radio protocol header of the message transmitted by the fourth communication method. Also, the base station device 20 sets the central station device 10 as the destination of the train radio protocol header of the message received from the mobile station device 30 . Therefore, when the message transmitted by the mobile station device 30 in the second communication method is received by the base station device 20, the base station device 20 transfers it to the central office device 10 in the fourth communication method (step ST201). Also, when the message transmitted by the central station device 10 in the fourth communication method is received by the base station device 20, the base station device 20 transfers it to the mobile station device 30 in the second communication method (step ST202).
 中央局装置10の試験を行う場合、まず、対向装置40が、第3通信方式で、折り返し登録を意味する基地局装置20宛の電文を送信する。基地局装置20が当該電文を受信すると、基地局装置20は、中央局装置10から受信した電文の転送先として、対向装置40の識別子を登録する(ステップST203)。これにより、基地局装置20は、中央局装置10から受信した電文を対向装置40へ転送可能になり、対向装置40を用いた中央局装置10の試験が可能な状態となる。 When testing the central office device 10, first, the counterpart device 40 transmits a telegram addressed to the base station device 20, which means return registration, using the third communication method. When the base station device 20 receives the message, the base station device 20 registers the identifier of the opposite device 40 as the transfer destination of the message received from the central station device 10 (step ST203). As a result, the base station device 20 can transfer the message received from the central office device 10 to the opposite device 40, and the central office device 10 can be tested using the opposite device 40. FIG.
 詳細には、ステップST203では、対向装置40の監視制御部42が、折り返し登録を意味する電文を、列車無線プロトコル管理部411へ送信する。列車無線プロトコル管理部411は、列車無線プロトコルヘッダの宛先を基地局装置20に設定し、当該電文を汎用プロトコル管理部412へ送信する。汎用プロトコル管理部412は、基地局装置20の汎用プロトコル管理部212へ当該電文を送信する。基地局装置20の汎用プロトコル管理部212は、当該電文を受信すると、列車無線プロトコル管理部411へ当該電文を送信する。列車無線プロトコル管理部411は、当該電文の列車無線プロトコルヘッダの宛先が基地局装置20であるため、当該電文を解釈する。列車無線プロトコル管理部411は、当該電文が折り返し登録を意味すると解釈すると、対向装置40が在線していることを認識する。 Specifically, in step ST203, the monitor control unit 42 of the opposing device 40 transmits a message indicating return registration to the train radio protocol management unit 411. The train radio protocol management unit 411 sets the destination of the train radio protocol header to the base station device 20 and transmits the message to the general protocol management unit 412 . The general-purpose protocol management unit 412 transmits the message to the general-purpose protocol management unit 212 of the base station device 20 . Upon receiving the telegram, the general-purpose protocol management unit 212 of the base station device 20 transmits the telegram to the train radio protocol management unit 411 . The train radio protocol management unit 411 interprets the message because the destination of the train radio protocol header of the message is the base station device 20 . When the train radio protocol management unit 411 interprets the telegram to mean return registration, it recognizes that the opposite device 40 is on the train.
 続いて、対向装置40は、第3通信方式で、基地局装置20へ電文を送信する。対向装置40から送信された電文が基地局装置20に受信されると、基地局装置20は、列車無線プロトコルヘッダに中央局装置10の識別子を設定して、当該電文を第4通信方式で中央局装置10へ転送する(ステップST204)。 Subsequently, the counterpart device 40 transmits a message to the base station device 20 using the third communication method. When the telegram transmitted from the opposite device 40 is received by the base station device 20, the base station device 20 sets the identifier of the central office device 10 in the train radio protocol header, and transmits the telegram to the central station using the fourth communication method. It is transferred to station apparatus 10 (step ST204).
 詳細には、ステップST204では、対向装置40の呼制御部43が、電文を列車無線プロトコル管理部411へ送信する。列車無線プロトコル管理部411は、列車無線プロトコルヘッダの宛先を中央局装置10に設定し、当該電文を汎用プロトコル管理部412へ送信する。汎用プロトコル管理部412は、基地局装置20の汎用プロトコル管理部212へ当該電文を送信する。基地局装置20の汎用プロトコル管理部212は、当該電文を受信すると、列車無線プロトコル管理部211へ当該電文を送信する。列車無線プロトコル管理部211は、当該電文の列車無線プロトコルヘッダの宛先が中央局装置10であるため、列車無線プロトコルヘッダの宛先を中央局装置10にして、当該電文を汎用プロトコル管理部212へ送信する。汎用プロトコル管理部212は、当該電文を中央局装置10の汎用プロトコル管理部132へ送信する。その結果、対向装置40が送信した電文が、中央局装置10に受信される。 Specifically, in step ST204, the call control unit 43 of the counterpart device 40 transmits a telegram to the train radio protocol management unit 411. The train radio protocol management unit 411 sets the destination of the train radio protocol header to the central office device 10 and transmits the message to the general protocol management unit 412 .

Upon receiving the telegram, the general-purpose protocol management unit 212 of the base station device 20 transmits the telegram to the train radio protocol management unit 211 . Since the destination of the train radio protocol header of the telegram is the central office device 10, the train radio protocol management unit 211 sets the destination of the train radio protocol header to the central office device 10 and transmits the telegram to the general-purpose protocol management unit 212. do. The general-purpose protocol management unit 212 transmits the message to the general-purpose protocol management unit 132 of the central office device 10 . As a result, the message transmitted by the counterpart device 40 is received by the central office device 10 .
 なお、試験中に、移動局装置30から第2通信方式で電文が送信された場合、その電文が基地局装置20に受信されると、試験が行われないときと同様に、基地局装置20は、列車無線プロトコルヘッダの宛先に中央局装置10の識別子を設定して、当該電文を第4通信方式で中央局装置10へ転送する(ステップST205)。 It should be noted that when a telegram is transmitted from the mobile station device 30 in the second communication method during the test, if the telegram is received by the base station device 20, the base station device 20 will sets the identifier of the central office device 10 as the destination of the train radio protocol header, and transfers the message to the central office device 10 by the fourth communication method (step ST205).
 詳細には、ステップST205では、移動局装置30の無線通信部31が、第2通信方式で、電文を無線フレームの形で基地局装置20の無線通信部23へ送信する。基地局装置20の無線通信部23は、受信した無線フレームを多重化部22へ送信し、多重化部22は当該無線フレームから電文を分離する。多重化部22は、分離した電文を列車無線プロトコル管理部211へ送信する。列車無線プロトコル管理部211は、多重化部22から受信した電文は全て中央局装置10宛であると判断し、列車無線プロトコルヘッダの宛先を中央局装置10に設定して、汎用プロトコル管理部212へ当該電文を送信する。汎用プロトコル管理部212は、当該電文を中央局装置10の汎用プロトコル管理部212へ送信する。その結果、移動局装置30が送信した電文が、中央局装置10に受信される。上記のステップST101も、これと同じ処理によって実施される。 Specifically, in step ST205, the radio communication section 31 of the mobile station device 30 transmits a message in the form of a radio frame to the radio communication section 23 of the base station device 20 using the second communication method. The radio communication unit 23 of the base station device 20 transmits the received radio frame to the multiplexing unit 22, and the multiplexing unit 22 separates the message from the radio frame. The multiplexing unit 22 transmits the separated messages to the train radio protocol management unit 211 . The train radio protocol management unit 211 determines that all telegrams received from the multiplexing unit 22 are addressed to the central office device 10, sets the destination of the train radio protocol header to the central office device 10, and sends the message to the general-purpose protocol management unit 212. Send the telegram to The general-purpose protocol management unit 212 transmits the message to the general-purpose protocol management unit 212 of the central office device 10 . As a result, the message transmitted by the mobile station device 30 is received by the central office device 10 . The above step ST101 is also implemented by the same processing.
 また、試験中に、中央局装置10が対向装置40宛の電文を送信する場合、中央局装置10は、送信する電文の列車無線プロトコルヘッダの宛先に対向装置40の識別子を設定し、当該電文を第4通信方式で送信する。当該電文が基地局装置20に受信されると、基地局装置20はそれを第3通信方式で対向装置40へ転送する(ステップST206)。 Also, during the test, when the central office device 10 transmits a telegram addressed to the counterpart device 40, the central office device 10 sets the identifier of the counterpart device 40 to the destination of the train radio protocol header of the telegram to be transmitted, and is transmitted by the fourth communication method. When the message is received by base station apparatus 20, base station apparatus 20 transfers it to opposite apparatus 40 using the third communication method (step ST206).
 詳細には、ステップST206では、中央局装置10の列車無線プロトコル管理部131が、列車無線プロトコルヘッダの宛先を対向装置40に設定して、当該電文を汎用プロトコル管理部132へ送信する。汎用プロトコル管理部132は、当該電文を基地局装置20の汎用プロトコル管理部212へ送信する。基地局装置20の汎用プロトコル管理部212は、当該電文を受信すると、列車無線プロトコル管理部211へ当該電文を送信する。列車無線プロトコル管理部211は、当該電文の列車無線プロトコルヘッダの宛先が対向装置40であり、且つ、対向装置40が在線状態であるため、列車無線プロトコルヘッダの宛先を対向装置40に設定して、汎用プロトコル管理部212へ当該電文を送信する。汎用プロトコル管理部212は、当該電文を対向装置40の汎用プロトコル管理部412へ送信する。その結果、中央局装置10が送信した対向装置40宛の電文が、対向装置40に受信される。 Specifically, in step ST206, the train radio protocol management section 131 of the central office device 10 sets the destination of the train radio protocol header to the counterpart device 40 and transmits the message to the general-purpose protocol management section 132. The general-purpose protocol management unit 132 transmits the message to the general-purpose protocol management unit 212 of the base station device 20 . Upon receiving the telegram, the general-purpose protocol management unit 212 of the base station device 20 transmits the telegram to the train radio protocol management unit 211 . The train radio protocol management unit 211 sets the destination of the train radio protocol header to the counterpart device 40 because the destination of the train radio protocol header of the message is the counterpart device 40 and the counterpart device 40 is on the train. , to the general-purpose protocol management unit 212 . The general-purpose protocol management unit 212 transmits the message to the general-purpose protocol management unit 412 of the counterpart device 40 . As a result, the message sent by the central office device 10 to the opposite device 40 is received by the opposite device 40 .
 また、試験中に、中央局装置10が移動局装置30宛の電文を送信する場合は、中央局装置10が、試験が行われないときと同様に、送信する電文の列車無線プロトコルヘッダの宛先に移動局装置30の識別子を設定し、当該電文を第4通信方式で送信する。当該電文が基地局装置20に受信されると、基地局装置20がそれを第2通信方式で移動局装置30へ転送する(ステップST207)。 Also, during the test, when the central office device 10 transmits a telegram addressed to the mobile station device 30, the central office device 10 sets the destination of the train radio protocol header of the telegram to be transmitted in the same manner as when the test is not performed. is set to the identifier of the mobile station apparatus 30, and the message is transmitted by the fourth communication method. When the message is received by base station apparatus 20, base station apparatus 20 transfers it to mobile station apparatus 30 using the second communication method (step ST207).
 詳細には、ステップST207では、中央局装置10の列車無線プロトコル管理部131が、列車無線プロトコルヘッダの宛先を移動局装置30に設定して、電文を汎用プロトコル管理部132へ送信する。汎用プロトコル管理部132は、当該電文を基地局装置20の汎用プロトコル管理部212へ送信する。基地局装置20の汎用プロトコル管理部212は、当該電文を受信すると、列車無線プロトコル管理部211へ当該電文を送信する。列車無線プロトコル管理部211は、当該電文の列車無線プロトコルヘッダの宛先が移動局装置30であるため、当該電文を多重化部22へ送信する。多重化部22は、受信した電文を多重化して無線フレームの形で無線通信部23へ送信する。無線通信部23は、第2通信方式で、移動局装置30の無線通信部31へ当該無線フレームを送信する。その結果、中央局装置10が送信した移動局装置30宛の電文は、無線フレームの形で移動局装置30に受信される。上記のステップST102も、これと同じ処理によって実施される。 Specifically, in step ST207, the train radio protocol management section 131 of the central office device 10 sets the destination of the train radio protocol header to the mobile station device 30 and transmits the message to the general protocol management section 132. The general-purpose protocol management unit 132 transmits the message to the general-purpose protocol management unit 212 of the base station device 20 . Upon receiving the telegram, the general-purpose protocol management unit 212 of the base station device 20 transmits the telegram to the train radio protocol management unit 211 . The train radio protocol management unit 211 transmits the message to the multiplexing unit 22 because the destination of the train radio protocol header of the message is the mobile station device 30 . The multiplexing unit 22 multiplexes the received message and transmits it to the wireless communication unit 23 in the form of a wireless frame. The radio communication unit 23 transmits the radio frame to the radio communication unit 31 of the mobile station device 30 using the second communication method. As a result, the telegram addressed to the mobile station device 30 transmitted by the central office device 10 is received by the mobile station device 30 in the form of a radio frame. The above step ST102 is also implemented by the same processing.
 ステップST204およびステップST206により、中央局装置10の指令電話機と対向装置40との通話試験や、保守端末から対向装置40の状態監視の試験が可能となり、中央局装置10の機能健全性を確認することができる。なお、本実施の形態では、ステップST205で示したように、試験中でも基地局装置20が移動局装置30から送信された電文を中央局装置10に転送することができるため、基地局装置20に移動局装置30が在線し、中央局装置10と通信することが可能である。 Through steps ST204 and ST206, a communication test between the command telephone of the central office equipment 10 and the opposite equipment 40 and a test of status monitoring of the opposite equipment 40 from the maintenance terminal are possible, and the functional soundness of the central office equipment 10 is confirmed. be able to. In this embodiment, as shown in step ST205, base station apparatus 20 can transfer telegrams transmitted from mobile station apparatus 30 to central station apparatus 10 even during testing. A mobile station device 30 is on the line and can communicate with the central office device 10 .
 試験を終了する場合は、対向装置40が、第3通信方式で、折り返し停止を意味する基地局装置20宛の電文を送信する。基地局装置20は、折り返し停止を意味する電文を受信すると、中央局装置10から受信した電文の転送先として登録されている対向装置40の識別子を削除する(ステップST208)。これにより、対向装置40は使用できなくなる。 When ending the test, the counterpart device 40 transmits a telegram to the base station device 20, meaning to stop calling back, using the third communication method. When base station apparatus 20 receives the telegram indicating stop of return, base station apparatus 20 deletes the identifier of opposite apparatus 40 registered as the transfer destination of the telegram received from central office apparatus 10 (step ST208). As a result, the opposing device 40 becomes unusable.
 詳細には、ステップST208では、対向装置40の監視制御部42が、折り返し停止を意味する電文を列車無線プロトコル管理部411へ送信する。列車無線プロトコル管理部411は、列車無線プロトコルヘッダの宛先を基地局装置20に設定し、当該電文を汎用プロトコル管理部412へ送信する。汎用プロトコル管理部412は、基地局装置20の汎用プロトコル管理部212へ電文を転送する。基地局装置20の汎用プロトコル管理部212は、列車無線プロトコル管理部211へ電文を送信する。列車無線プロトコル管理部211は、当該電文の列車無線プロトコルヘッダの宛先が基地局装置20であるため、当該電文を解釈する。列車無線プロトコル管理部211は、当該電文が折り返し登録解除を意味すると解釈すると、対向装置40は非在線であると認識する。 Specifically, in step ST208, the monitor control unit 42 of the opposing device 40 transmits a telegram indicating stoppage to the train radio protocol management unit 411. The train radio protocol management unit 411 sets the destination of the train radio protocol header to the base station device 20 and transmits the message to the general protocol management unit 412 . The general-purpose protocol management unit 412 transfers the message to the general-purpose protocol management unit 212 of the base station device 20 . The general-purpose protocol manager 212 of the base station device 20 transmits the message to the train radio protocol manager 211 . The train radio protocol management unit 211 interprets the message because the destination of the train radio protocol header of the message is the base station device 20 . When the train radio protocol management unit 211 interprets the telegram to mean cancellation of the return registration, it recognizes that the opposite device 40 is not on the line.
 このように、実施の形態2に係る列車無線通信システムにおける中央局装置10の試験は、基地局装置20が中央局装置10からの電文を対向装置40へ折り返すことによって行われるため、当該試験では、無線通信の方式である第2通信方式は用いられず、有線通信の方式である第3通信方式および第4通信方式のみが用いられる。従って、地理的な制約を受けることなく、中央局装置10の試験を行うことができる。 As described above, the test of the central station device 10 in the train radio communication system according to Embodiment 2 is performed by the base station device 20 returning the message from the central station device 10 to the opposite device 40. Therefore, in the test, , the second communication method, which is a wireless communication method, is not used, and only the third and fourth communication methods, which are wired communication methods, are used. Therefore, the central office device 10 can be tested without being subject to geographical restrictions.
 また、中央局装置10の列車無線プロトコル管理部131、基地局装置20の列車無線プロトコル管理部211、および、対向装置40の列車無線プロトコル管理部411が、列車無線通信システム内で送受信される電文の宛先を管理することで、基地局装置20が、中央局装置10からの電文の転送先を、その宛先に応じて動的に切り替えることできる。よって、試験中においても移動局装置30と中央局装置10との間の通信を行うことができるため、試験中に移動局装置30を在線させることもできる。 Also, the train radio protocol management unit 131 of the central station device 10, the train radio protocol management unit 211 of the base station device 20, and the train radio protocol management unit 411 of the opposite device 40 receive and transmit telegrams within the train radio communication system. By managing the destination, the base station device 20 can dynamically switch the transfer destination of the message from the central office device 10 according to the destination. Therefore, since communication between the mobile station apparatus 30 and the central station apparatus 10 can be performed even during the test, the mobile station apparatus 30 can be on-line during the test.
