- the same operation may be performed between the base station 110 and the relay station 122.
- the basic configuration of the communication system is the same as that of the communication system 100 shown in FIG. Also, a section between the base station and each relay station is a first radio section, and a section between each relay station and each mobile station is a second radio section.
- Each mobile station acquires the CQI of the second radio section and transmits it to the relay station. After receiving the CQI of the second radio section of each mobile station, the relay station transfers it to the base station using the first radio section. Further, the relay station acquires the CQI of the first radio section and transmits it to the base station. The base station receives the CQI of the second radio section of each mobile station and the CQI of the first radio section of each relay station, and schedules both the first radio section and the second radio section based on all the CQIs. I do.
- the entire system band is divided into N subbands (radio resources), the number of bits required to transmit CQI of one subband is 5 bits, the number of mobile stations scheduled by the base station is K, and the base station The number of relay stations to be scheduled is defined as M.
- the number of CQI bits transmitted to the base station through the first radio interval is 5 ⁇ N ⁇ M [bit] for the first radio interval, and 5 ⁇ N ⁇ K [for the second radio interval. bit].
- the number K of mobile stations is assumed to be a large value as the maximum capacity of the system, the number of CQI bits in the second radio section is very large.
- a large amount of CQI is transmitted to the base station.
- an increase in the amount of CQI information is particularly problematic.
- relay stations 121 and 122 are based on CQIs from connected mobile stations 131 to 134 (hereinafter referred to as “respective mobile stations”).
- the representative CQI of the second radio section 103 is calculated and transmitted to the base station 110.
- Typical CQIs are, for example, the highest CQI among the CQIs, the average value of the CQIs, and the lowest CQI among the CQIs.
- the base station 110 receives the representative CQI of the second radio section 103 and the CQI of the first radio section 102 from each connected relay station. Then, the base station 110 performs radio resource allocation (scheduling) so that radio resources used in each radio section do not interfere with each other.
- Each relay station receives a signal from the base station 110 using the radio resources of the first radio section 102 allocated to the own station by the base station 110.
- Each relay station transmits a signal from the base station 110 to each mobile station using the radio resources of the second radio section 103 allocated to the own station. Since each CQI of each mobile station in the second radio section 103 only knows each relay station, the scheduler of each relay station determines how to allocate the radio resources in the second radio section 103 to each mobile station. decide.
- the number of CQI bits related to the second radio section 103 transmitted to the base station 110 through the first radio section 102 is 5 ⁇ N ⁇ M [bits]. Therefore, the number of CQI bits related to the second radio section 103 transmitted to the base station 110 through the first radio section 102 is changed from 5 ⁇ N ⁇ K [bit] to 5 ⁇ N ⁇ M [bit] of the other scheduling procedure described above. ] Can be reduced.
- each relay station Since the number M of each relay station is significantly smaller than the number K of each mobile station, the number of CQI bits related to the second radio section 103 transmitted to the base station 110 through the first radio section 102 is greatly reduced. I understand. Thus, each relay station calculates a representative CQI of the second radio section 103 and transmits it to the base station 110, so that the amount of CQI information received by the base station 110 can be greatly reduced.
- each relay station acquires each CQI in a plurality of radio resources (see FIG. 9 to FIG. 12), and represents a representative value of each CQI in a part of the plurality of radio resources. You may make it transmit. As a result, the amount of CQI information sent from each relay station to base station 110 can be further reduced.
- the radio resources required in the second radio section 103 are narrowed down at each relay station, and the representative value of each CQI in the narrowed down radio resources is transmitted to the base station 110.
- the number of CQI bits related to the second radio section 103 transmitted to the base station 110 is 5 ⁇ N / 2 ⁇ M [ bit].
- N bits are used to notify the base station 110 of the information on the radio resources narrowed down by each relay station, the amount of additional feedback information remains N ⁇ M [bit].
- the number of CQI bits related to the second radio section 103 transmitted to the base station 110 through the first radio section 102 is changed from 5 ⁇ N ⁇ K [bit] of the other scheduling procedure described above to 5 ⁇ N / 2 ⁇ . It can be reduced to M + N ⁇ M [bit].
- the number M of each relay station is significantly smaller than the number K of each mobile station, the number of CQI bits related to the second radio section 103 transmitted to the base station 110 through the first radio section 102 is greatly increased. It can be seen that
- Each relay station obtains each CQI in a plurality of radio resources (see FIGS. 9 to 12), calculates a representative value of each CQI for each of the plurality of radio resources, and sets a representative value of each calculated representative value. Further, it may be calculated. Thereby, the amount of communication quality information sent from each relay station to the base station 110 can be further reduced.
- the CQI related to the second radio section 103 transmitted from each relay station to the base station 110 is not a CQI for each radio resource, but a representative value (for example, an average value) of all radio resources. Since the base station 110 cannot obtain the CQI for each radio resource, the radio resource of the second radio section 103 is allocated based on the representative values of all radio resources.
- each relay station since each relay station has a CQI for each radio resource in each mobile station in the second radio section 103, the radio resource in the second radio section 103 allocated by the base station 110 is assigned to each radio resource. It can be assigned to the optimal mobile station. For this reason, the number of CQI bits for the second radio section 103 transmitted to the base station 110 through the first radio section 102 is changed from 5 ⁇ N ⁇ K [bit] to 5 ⁇ M [bit] in the other scheduling procedure. Can be reduced.
- the base station assigns radio resources to be used by each relay station in the first radio section and the second radio section. Do. As a result, radio resources can be efficiently allocated to the relay stations so as not to interfere with each other.
- a representative value is sent to the base station, and the radio resource assigned from the base station is assigned to each mobile station by the relay station.
- the radio resource is allocated to each radio path between the relay station and each mobile station by the relay station, so that the scheduling processing burden in the base station can be reduced.
- each communication quality transmitted from each mobile station is received. Thereby, each communication quality between a relay station and each mobile station can be acquired in a relay station.
- each pilot signal transmitted from each mobile station is received, and each communication quality is measured based on each received pilot signal. Thereby, each communication quality between a relay station and each mobile station can be acquired in a relay station.
- the relay station acquires each communication quality in a plurality of radio resources (see FIGS. 9 to 12), and transmits a representative value of each communication quality in a part of the plurality of radio resources. May be. Thereby, the information amount of the communication quality sent from the relay station to the base station can be further reduced.
- the relay station acquires each communication quality in a plurality of radio resources (see FIGS. 9 to 12), calculates a representative value of each communication quality for each of the plurality of radio resources, and represents the representative value of each calculated representative value. May be further calculated. Thereby, the information amount of the communication quality sent from the relay station to the base station can be further reduced.
- the communication quality and the quality information form are SIR and CQI. Not limited to.
