Abstract
Description
同図において、無線通信システムは、無線LAN基地局2a、2bと、受信装置1aとを備えている。無線LAN基地局2aは、中心周波数faであるCH1の周波数帯域を用いて通信する。一方、無線LAN基地局2bは、中心周波数fb(ただし、fa<fb)であるCH5の周波数帯域を用いて通信する。
このように、受信装置1aが無線LAN基地局2aを通信対象とする場合に、中心周波数faである所望信号の送信周波数帯域と、中心周波数fbである無線LAN基地局2bからの干渉信号の送信周波数帯域とが、部分的にオーバーラップ(重複)する周波数共用型の無線通信においても、受信装置1aは、所望信号を正確に受信することが必須となる。
なお、周波数帯域を共用する他の例として、無線LANシステムと、bluetooth(登録商標)と、WiMAX(登録商標)との組み合わせなど、異なる通信方式のシステム同士が周波数共用する場合もある。
しかし従来は、システマティックビットとパリティビットとを区別せずに、複数サブキャリアに分散配置しているため、システマティックビットの受信品質の劣化が原因でBER(Bit Error Rate)特性が飽和する可能性があった。
より具体的には、本発明の目的は、システマティックビット及びパリティビットを生成する誤り訂正を適用しているマルチキャリア無線通信システムにおいて、干渉が発生していない周波数帯域においてシステマティックビットを送信することにより受信品質を向上させることができる通信システム、送信装置、受信装置、送信方法及び通信方法を提供することにある。
本発明の各実施形態は、マルチキャリア重畳伝送において、干渉信号が存在しない周波数帯域である非重畳帯域を優先しながら、非重畳帯域および干渉信号が存在する周波数帯域である重畳帯域の双方、または、片方(すなわち、非重畳帯域)に対し、送信データから生成される所定のデータ(後述するように、入力された送信データのビット系列であるシステマティックビット、または、再送が指示されたパケットを構成する変調シンボル)を割り当てることを特徴の一つとしている。
さらには、システマティックビット、パリティビット別にインタリーブを行なったり、非重畳帯域、重畳帯域別にインタリーブを行なったりすることでランダマイズを行い、システマティックビットをより正しく受信可能とする。
ここでは、システマティックビット、パリティビット別にインタリーブを行なう場合の実施形態について説明する。
図2は、本発明の第1の実施形態による送信装置100の構成を示すブロック図である。
同図において、符号化器110は、FECにより送信データを符号化し、符号化率に応じてシステマティックビット及びパンクチャドパリティビットを生成し、システマティックビットをシステマティックビット用インタリーバ120へ出力し、パンクチャドパリティビットをパリティビット用インタリーバ130へ出力する。システマティックビット用インタリーバ120は、入力されたシステマティックビットのインタリーブを行なう。また、パリティビット用インタリーバ130は、入力されたパリティビットのインタリーブを行なう。
まず、送信装置100の符号化器110は、FECにより送信データを符号化して、システマティックビット及びパリティビットを生成した後、現在の符号化率に従ってパリティビットのパンクチャリングを行なう。例えば、FECにより送信データを符号化した結果、システマティックビット:パリティビット=3:6の割合で生成され、符号化率=(システマティックビット数)/{(システマティックビット数)+(パリティビット数)}=3/4であった場合、符号化器110は、生成されたパリティビットを1/6に間引くパンクチャリングを行なう。
図5A~図5Dは、システマティックビット及びパリティビットの周波数割り当てを説明するための図である。
同様に、変調器150-2は、所定の変調方式により、入力されたパリティビットのデータ変調を行い、変調された各データを、パリティビット割当帯域のサブキャリアにマッピングし、パラレル信号としてOFDM変調器160へ出力する。
OFDM復調器210は、受信したOFDM信号を各サブキャリア信号に分割し、シリアル信号として復調器220へ出力する。復調器220は、OFDM復調器210から入力された各サブキャリア信号をフーリエ変換して復調する。デインタリーバ230は、復調器220により復調された受信信号をデインタリーブする。インタリーバ240は、デインタリーバ230によりデインタリーブされた信号をインタリーブし、デインタリーバ230に入力される前のビット列に戻す。
既存の受信装置は、OFDM復調器210、復調器220及びデインタリーバ230からなるOFDM復調器構成を有している。そこで、データ抽出器250の前段にインタリーバ240を挿入することにより、復調器220において復調されたビット列の並びを変えることなくデータ抽出器250に入力することが可能となる。従って、既存の受信装置に回路を追加することにより、本実施形態の受信装置の機能を実現させることができる。
デインタリーバ230は、復調器220から入力されたビット列「C,A,D,B,c,a,d,b」全体のデインタリーブを行い、「d,D,C,B,c,b,A,a」と並べ替えてインタリーバ240へ出力する。インタリーバ240は、デインタリーバ230から入力されたビット列のインタリーブを行ない、「C,A,D,B,c,a,d,b」と並べ替え、データ抽出器250へ出力する。このように、デインタリーバ230とインタリーバ240とは、逆のビット列の並べ替えを行なうため、復調器220から出力されたビット列の順序を保持したままデータ抽出器250に入力することが可能となる。
復号器280は、正しい並びのシステマティックビット列及びパリティビット列を受信して、復号を行なう。
ここでは、非重畳帯域、重畳帯域別に別にインタリーブを行なう場合の実施形態について説明する。
図11は、第2の実施形態による送信装置100cの構成を示すブロック図であり、図2に示す第1の送信装置100と同一の部分には同一の符号を付し、その説明を省略する。
同図において、データ割当器141は、第1の実施形態による送信装置100のデータ割当器140と同様に、システマティックビット割当帯域及びパリティビット割当帯域を決定した後、非重畳帯域が割り当てられたシステマティックビット及びパリティビットを非重畳帯域用インタリーバ145へ出力し、重畳帯域が割り当てられたパリティビットを重畳帯域用インタリーバ146へ出力する。非重畳帯域用インタリーバ145は、データ割当器141から入力された非重畳帯域のビット列をインタリーブし、変調器151-1に出力する。また、重畳帯域用インタリーバ146は、データ割当器141から入力された重畳帯域のビット列をインタリーブし、変調器151-2に出力する。
図12は、送信装置100cの動作を説明するための図である。同図において、送信装置100cの符号化器110は、第1の実施形態と同様にFECにより送信データを符号化して、システマティックビット及びパリティビットを生成した後、現在の符号化率に従ってパリティビットのパンクチャリングを行なう。
OFDM変調器160は、第1の実施形態と同様にOFDM信号を生成し、送信する。
非重畳帯域用デインタリーバ245は、インタリーバ240から入力された非重畳帯域のシステマティックビット及びパリティビットをデインタリーブする。重畳帯域用デインタリーバ246は、インタリーバ240から入力された重畳帯域のパリティビットをデインタリーブする。
デインタリーバ230は、復調器220から入力されたビット列「D,A,a,C,b,B,d,c」全体のデインタリーブを行い、「c,D,C,B,d,b,A,a」と並べ替えてインタリーバ240へ出力する。インタリーバ240は、デインタリーバ230から入力されたビット列のインタリーブを行ない、「D,A,a,C,b,B,d,c」と並べ替える。このように、デインタリーバ230とインタリーバ240とは、逆のビット列の並べ替えを行なうため、復調器220から出力されたビット列の順序に戻すことができる。インタリーバ240は、記憶部290から読み出した重畳帯域の情報に基づいて、インタリーブを行なった結果得られたビット列のうち、非重畳帯域のビット列「D,A,a,C,b,B」を非重畳帯域用デインタリーバ245へ出力し、重畳帯域のビット列「d,c」を重畳帯域用デインタリーバ246へ出力する。
復号器280は、正しい並びのシステマティックビット列及びパリティビット列を受信して、復号を行なう。
重畳帯域のマスクを行なう受信装置について以下に説明する。
図17は、重畳帯域のマスクを行なう受信装置300の構成を示す概略ブロック図である。なお、重畳帯域検出器301と復調器303との間の接続は必須ではない。
受信装置300は、重畳帯域検出器301、重み付け係数生成器302、復調器303、重み付け演算器304、復号器305を備え、誤り訂正符号による所望信号と干渉信号とからなる受信信号から、所望信号に含まれる信号を抽出する。重畳帯域検出器301は、例えば、FWA(Fixed Wireless Access)などの受信装置300の置局時において、自装置の所望信号における利用周波数帯域のうち、他のシステムから送信される無線信号により干渉が発生する周波数帯域を検出する。重畳帯域検出器301は、例えば、所望信号の送信元無線局に対し、所望信号による無線信号送信の停止要求を送信し、所望信号が送信されていない環境において、当該所望信号の利用周波数帯域のサブキャリアごとに、他無線信号の有無、信号強度などを検出することにより、干渉が発生するサブキャリアを検出する。重畳帯域検出器301は、例えば、特定サブキャリアであるサブキャリアに対して「1」を対応付け、特定サブキャリア以外のサブキャリアに対して「0」を対応付けた重畳帯域判定値の列として、特定サブキャリア判定値の列を生成する。重畳帯域検出器301は、検出結果を重み付け係数生成器302に出力する。
重み付け演算器304は、重み付け係数生成器302から入力される重み付け係数に基づき、サブキャリアごとに、復調器303から入力される復調値に重み付け演算処理を行い、演算結果をサブキャリアごとに並べた列を尤度データ列として復号器305に出力する。
復号器305は、重み付け演算器304から入力される尤度データ列に基づき、誤り訂正処理、及び復号処理を行い、所望信号の信号を取得する。
受信装置300の重畳帯域検出器301は、受信装置300の置局時に、所望信号がないタイミングや、所望信号がないサブキャリアの周波数帯域において、所望信号のサブキャリアごとの周波数帯域における無線信号の受信レベル、周波数帯域、中心周波数、所望信号への重畳帯域などを測定、検出することにより、干渉信号の情報を取得する。
また、重畳帯域検出器301は、取得した干渉信号の情報に基づき、干渉信号が存在するサブキャリアを特定サブキャリアとして選択(検出)する。重畳帯域検出器301は、例えば、受信レベルの値に基づき、所定の値以上の受信レベルの信号を受信した周波数帯域のサブキャリアを特定サブキャリアとして検出する。
図18に戻り、重畳帯域検出器301は、生成した特定サブキャリア判定値の列を重み付け係数生成器302に出力する(ステップS310)。
重み付け係数生成器302は、生成したサブキャリアごとの重み付け係数の列を重み付け演算器304に出力する(ステップS320)。
この符号化方法に応じた重み付け演算方法の一例として、所望信号の符号化方法が軟判定正負多値の符号化方法である場合を例に図19B~図19Dを用いて説明する。この軟判定正負多値の符号化方法における復号処理は、受信信号の復調値が正負の多値出力であり、絶対値の大きさを信頼度(尤もらしさを表す値、尤度)として負の値を値「+1」、正の値を値「-1」と判定する復号処理を行う。
一方、「+1」と「-1」とのいずれであるか、最もあいまいである(信頼度が低い)のは、絶対値が最も小さい値、すなわち、復調値が0のサブキャリアである。
このように、受信装置300が、サブキャリアごとの受信信号の信頼度に応じて復調値に重み付け演算を行い、信頼度の低い特定サブキャリアをマスクし、信頼度の高いサブキャリアの復調値を用いて受信信号を復号することにより、受信誤り訂正能力を向上させることが可能になる。
例えば、図20Aの軟判定出力型において、重み付け係数生成器302は、正負多値出力の復調値に対し、特定サブキャリアの重み付け係数を所定値α(ただし、0≦α<1)とし、他のサブキャリアの重み付け係数を1とする重み付け係数を算出することでもよい。
また、軟判定出力型において、正数多値出力の復調値の場合、復調値が0に近いほどビット値を「-1」として復号し、復調値が最大値に近いほどビット値を「1」として復号する。このような場合において、重み付け係数生成器302は、特定サブキャリアの復調値を出力候補値の中央値(例えば、出力候補値が0~7であれば、その中央値の3または4)に置換する重み付け係数を算出することでもよい。
このように、ブロック符号化など、誤り訂正符号を適用しており、一部のサブキャリアの復調値等が欠落していても他のサブキャリアの復調値に基づき所望信号を取得することが可能な通信方式の場合、信頼度が低く、誤り発生の要因となるサブキャリアに対し、信頼度を下げる重み付け係数を用いて復調値に重み付け演算処理を行うことで、受信誤り訂正能力を向上させることができる。
次に、重畳帯域のフィルタリングを行なう受信装置について以下に説明する。
図21は、重畳帯域のフィルタリングを行なう受信装置400の機能構成を表すブロック図である。図示するように、受信装置400は、アンテナ401と、受信部402と、干渉情報抽出部403と、フィルタ制御部404と、遅延部405と、フィルタ406と、復調部407と、デインタリーバ408と、FEC復号部409とを備える。
受信部402は、受信された受信信号に対し、ダウンコンバートを行い、さらにアナログ/デジタル変換を行う。
(1)干渉信号が存在せず所望信号のみが存在する周波数帯域の受信信号を通過させる
(2)干渉信号が存在する周波数帯域の受信信号を減衰させる
なお、フィルタのパラメータは、例えば、フィルタの種類と、遮断周波数とで構成される。
復調部407は、フィルタ406によってフィルタリングされた受信信号からガードインターバルを除去し、FFTを行い、復調を行うことによって復調信号を生成する。
FEC復号部409は、デインタリーバ408によってデインタリーブされた復調信号を、FECに従って復号し、誤りビットが訂正されたビット列を生成し、受信データを出力する。
図23~図25は、フィルタ制御部404によって行われるフィルタ制御処理の概略を表す概略図である。以下、図23~図25を用いてフィルタ制御処理の詳細を説明する。
図26は、受信装置400がフィルタの制御を行う場合の処理手順を示すフローチャートである。
図27は、マルチキャリア伝送によって信号の送受信を行う受信装置及び送信装置が配置されるネットワーク環境の概略を表す概略図である。図示するように、受信装置1001は、送信装置1002からマルチキャリア伝送で送信される所望信号と、干渉源1003から送信される干渉信号とが合成された信号(以下、「受信信号」という。)を受信する。なお、図27では受信装置1001が無線通信端末であり送信装置1002が基地局装置であるが、逆に受信装置1001が基地局装置であり送信装置1002が無線通信端末となっても良い。無線通信端末は、基地局装置と無線通信を行う端末装置であり、例えば携帯電話機や、無線LAN(Local Area Network)端末や、WiMAX(Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access)端末などの装置である。基地局装置は、複数の無線通信端末と無線通信を行う装置であり、例えば携帯電話ネットワークにおける基地局装置や、無線LANルータや、WiMAX基地局などの装置である。
図28は、受信装置1001の機能構成を表すブロック図である。図示するように、受信装置1001は、アンテナ1101と、受信部1102と、重畳帯域情報生成部1103と、重畳帯域情報信号送信部1104と、重み付け係数生成部1105と、復調部1106と、重み付け演算部1107と、復号化部1108と、再送信号受信制御部1109と、誤り判定部1110とを備える。
受信部1102は、受信された受信信号に対し、ダウンコンバートを行い、さらにアナログ/デジタル変換を行う。
重み付け演算部1107は、重み付け係数に基づき、サブキャリアごとの復調値に重み付け演算処理を行い、演算結果をサブキャリア毎に並べた列を尤度データ列として出力する。
図29は、送信装置1002の機能構成を表すブロック図である。図示するように、送信装置1002は、符号化部1201と、変調部1202と、再送制御部1203と、サブキャリア割当部1204と、送信部1205と、アンテナ1206とを備える。
変調部1202は、符号化ビットに対して変調を行い、複数の変調シンボルを生成する。
アンテナ1206は、送信部1205によって生成された送信信号を無線により送信するとともに、無線信号(特に重畳帯域情報信号)を受信する。
図32は、受信装置1001の処理手順を示すフローチャートである。まず、アンテナ1101が信号を受信し、受信部1102がダウンコンバート及びアナログ/デジタル変換を受信信号に対して行う(ステップS1101)。次に、復調部1106が、受信信号を復調し復調値を生成する(ステップS1102)。また、重畳帯域情報生成部1103が、重畳帯域情報生成処理を実行して重畳帯域情報を生成する。次に、重み付け係数生成部1105が、重畳帯域情報に基づいて、各サブキャリアの重み付け係数を生成する(ステップS1103)。次に、重み付け演算部1107が、重み付け係数に基づいて重み付け演算処理を行い、各サブキャリアの復調値を操作する。例えば、重み付け演算部1107が、各サブキャリアの復調値に対し、対応する重み付け係数を乗算する(ステップS1104)。そして、復号化部1108が、重み付け係数が乗算された後の各復調値を復号化し(ステップS1105)、復号化された受信データを生成する。
図33は、送信装置1002の再送制御の処理手順を示すフローチャートである。図33に示すように、送信部1205がアンテナ1206を介して所望信号を送信すると(ステップS1201)、送信装置1002では、再送信号受信制御部1109が生成する再送指示情報の受信を待機する。なお、所望信号の生成処理において、この所望信号に含まれる各変調シンボルの値は再送制御部1203によって一時的に記憶されている。
受信装置1001の重畳帯域情報生成部1103は、受信された全ての信号について重畳帯域情報を生成するように構成されても良いし、定期的に重畳帯域情報を生成するように構成されても良い。同様に、受信装置1001の重畳帯域情報信号送信部1104は、受信された全ての信号についての重畳帯域情報信号を送信するように構成されても良いし、定期的に重畳帯域情報信号を送信するように構成されても良い。
図34は、本実施形態に係る送信装置1002が配置されるネットワーク環境の概略を表す概略図である。なお、本実施形態に係る送信装置1002の構成は、再生制御部1203の動作が以下に述べるように異なる点を除いて、図29に示した送信装置の構成と同様である。送信装置1002は、複数の受信装置(図34の場合は2台の受信装置1001A及び受信装置1001B)に対し、利用可能な周波数帯域のサブキャリアをそれぞれの受信装置1001A及び受信装置1001Bに分配し、所望信号を送信する。図34の場合、送信装置1002は6つのサブキャリアsc1~sc6を利用可能であり、そのうち3つのサブキャリアsc1~sc3を受信装置1001Bに対して割り当て、残る3つのサブキャリアsc4~sc6を受信装置1001Aに割り当てる。
