- uplink transmission or downlink reception in the small cell C2 is executed based on higher layer signaling (for example, RRC message).
- FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the operation of the user terminal 100b in the extended subframe E.

- the above uplink transmission may be instructed by a downlink control signal included in a downlink subframe D arranged a predetermined number of times before the extended subframe E, or in advance by upper layer signaling such as RRC. May be.
- the downlink receiving unit 132 of the user terminal 100b attempts to detect the downlink control signal addressed to the terminal itself. Thus, it is determined whether or not a downlink control signal is included in the extended subframe E (S104). When it is determined that the above downlink control signal is not included (S104; NO), the operation in the extended subframe E ends. When it is determined that the above downlink control signal is included (S104; YES), the downlink reception unit 132 performs a downlink reception operation according to the downlink control signal (S106).

- HARQ feedback Ack or Nack
- the timing at which the above HARQ feedback is transmitted is preferably the same as the transmission timing when the extended subframe E is the downlink subframe D or the special subframe S.

- the user terminal 100b detects HARQ in the uplink subframe U of the main cell 4 subframes after detecting the DL signal addressed to the user terminal in the extended subframe E. Send feedback.
- the main cell is a TDD cell
- the user terminal 100b transmits HARQ feedback in the uplink subframe U of the main cell after detecting the DL signal addressed to the user terminal in the extended subframe E after k subframes.
- the parameter k is a value uniquely determined by the UL-DL configuration of the main cell and the subframe number in which the DL signal is detected.
- the transmission timing of HARQ feedback with the above configuration coincides with the transmission timing of HARQ feedback in any of the carrier aggregation between existing FDD cells, the carrier aggregation between TDD cells, or the carrier aggregation between FDD cells and TDD cells. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the scheduling by the base station eNB from being complicated and to simplify the implementation of the user terminal 100 as compared with the configuration that defines the transmission timing of new HARQ feedback.
- the above transmission timing is shown in the timing table stored in the storage unit 120.
- a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) specific to the small cell C2 formed by the small base station 300 is transmitted. More specifically, a cell-specific reference signal is transmitted in predetermined OFDM symbols and subcarriers in all resource blocks included in downlink subframe D. As can be understood from the above, since the cell-specific reference signal is transmitted in the entire used frequency band (subband SB) and in all downlink subframes D, the adjacent subband as described above with reference to FIG. This contributes to the large interference with the band.

Restriction) or a combination of both.
- the downlink transmission unit 344 may stop the transmission of the cell-specific reference signal in the extended subframe E. Note that the suspension of cell-specific reference signal transmission is a concept included in the above-described “transmit a cell-specific reference signal in an amount smaller than the transmission amount of the cell-specific reference signal in downlink subframe D”.
- the downlink transmission unit 344 transmits a terminal-specific reference signal (for example, DMRS) specific to the user terminal 100 in the extended subframe E.
- the width of the vertical axis of the subframe SF corresponds to the width of the transmission frequency bandwidth.
- the terminal-specific reference signal described above has a variable transmission frequency bandwidth. Therefore, the terminal-specific reference signal is transmitted using a frequency bandwidth that is narrower than the frequency bandwidth used for transmitting the cell-specific reference signal in the downlink subframe D.
- the downlink reception unit 132 of the user terminal 100 performs a downlink reception operation (demodulation and decoding of a downlink control signal and a downlink data signal) using the terminal specific reference signal without using the cell specific reference signal. It is possible.
- the downlink transmission unit 344 may transmit a control signal using an extended physical downlink control channel (E-PDCCH) in the extended subframe E.
- E-PDCCH extended physical downlink control channel
- the extended subframe E transmitted in the subband SB1 is reduced to the adjacent subband SB2 by reducing the transmission amount (transmission frequency band, transmission cycle, etc.) of the cell-specific reference signal in the extended subframe E. It is possible to reduce the interference given to the subframe SF (particularly, the uplink subframe U) transmitted at the same time. Moreover, even if the transmission amount of the cell-specific reference signal is reduced, the necessary reception operation is maintained executable by using the terminal-specific reference signal.
- the downlink transmission unit 344 of the small base station 300 is preferably configured so that the downlink transmission power in the extended subframe E is lower than the downlink transmission power in the downlink subframe D.
- the downlink transmission unit 344 employs 30 dBm (or 46 dBm) as the downlink transmission power in the downlink subframe D, while 23 dBm (the same transmission power as the uplink maximum transmission power) as the downlink transmission power in the extended subframe E. Is adopted.
- downlink subframe D it is necessary to transmit a set of reference signals for use in operations necessary for establishing a wireless connection and maintaining wireless communication (for example, reception power measurement, cell detection, and synchronization maintenance). .
- a set of reference signals for use in operations necessary for establishing a wireless connection and maintaining wireless communication (for example, reception power measurement, cell detection, and synchronization maintenance).
- transmission parameters such as transmission power.
- it is not necessary to transmit the above reference signal set in the extended subframe E it is possible to change the transmission parameter more flexibly.
- the extended subframe E may be used for downlink transmission and uplink transmission based on scheduling from the base station eNB (in this embodiment, the small base station 300 controlled by the macro base station 200). Is possible. Therefore, radio resource allocation between uplink and downlink communication in time division duplex is flexibly executed as compared with a configuration in which the use (type of D / U / S) of all subframes SF is fixed. Is possible.
- this embodiment is also suitable for an environment in which terminals corresponding to the extended subframe E (corresponding user terminal 100b) and terminals not corresponding to the extended subframe E (non-compatible user terminal 100a) are mixed.
- the existing UL-DL configuration is transmitted by the system information of the cell C to both the non-compatible user terminal 100a and the compatible user terminal 100b.
- application of the extended subframe E is instructed to the corresponding user terminal 100b by higher layer signaling for each terminal.
- the base station eNB transmits a downlink transmission to the corresponding user terminal 100b at a timing when any of the user terminals 100 (non-compatible user terminal 100a or compatible user terminal 100b) needs to perform uplink transmission. Do not execute, and instruct uplink transmission as necessary. On the other hand, the base station eNB performs downlink transmission to the corresponding user terminal 100b at a timing when none of the user terminals 100 needs to perform uplink transmission. Therefore, according to the configuration of the present embodiment, the radio communication of the non-compliant user terminal 100a is ensured, and the radio resource of the TD-LTE cell is further increased according to the ratio of the compatible user terminal 100b to the all user terminals 100. It can be operated flexibly.
- control functions for example, cell detection, mobility control, measurement control
- a configuration for realizing the above control function is not essential.
- cell operation using the virtual cell identifier VCID is adopted for the extended subframe E.
- the virtual cell identifier VCID is an identifier corresponding to one or more base stations eNB (preferably a plurality of base stations eNB). Similar to the physical cell identifier PCI, the virtual cell identifier VCID corresponds to a scrambling code used for scrambling a radio signal such as a reference signal and generating a code sequence.
- one or more base stations eNB virtually form one virtual cell VC corresponding to one virtual cell identifier VCID.
- “Virtually forming a virtual cell VC” means that one or more base stations eNB corresponding to the virtual cell VC scramble using a scrambling code corresponding to the virtual cell VC (virtual cell identifier VCID). It means that the transmitted radio signal is transmitted.
- the user terminal 100 descrambles the radio signal received from the above base station eNB (that is, from the virtual cell VC) using the above scrambling code to obtain a desired signal.
- the user terminal 100 needs to know the virtual cell identifier VCID (scrambling code) corresponding to the virtual cell VC before receiving the radio signal transmitted in the virtual cell VC. is there.
- the virtual cell identifier VCID is transmitted to the user terminal 100 from the connected cell C (physical cell).
- the virtual cell identifier VCID is preferably transmitted from the main cell to the user terminal 100, but may be transmitted to the user terminal 100 in the downlink subframe D of the sub cell.
- a plurality of virtual cells VC may be assigned to one base station eNB. That is, the base station eNB can transmit a radio signal using a different virtual cell identifier VCID for each user terminal 100.
- the transmission / reception control unit 244 of the macro base station 200 performs cell-specific communication using the physical cell identifier PCI in the same manner as described above. Control to execute.
- the transmission / reception control unit 244 controls the user terminal 100 to execute terminal-specific (UE-specific) communication using the virtual cell identifier VCID in the extended subframe E.
- the transmission / reception operation of the user terminal 100 in the downlink subframe D and the special subframe S is the same as described above.
- the downlink reception unit 132 of the user terminal 100 performs a reception operation using the virtual cell identifier VCID notified from the macro base station 200 (FIG. 13). S106).
- the uplink transmission unit 134 of the user terminal 100 performs a transmission operation using the physical cell identifier PCI instead of the above virtual cell identifier VCID (FIG. 13). S102).
- cell-specific communication that does not use the virtual cell identifier VCID is performed in the downlink subframe D and the special subframe S, and the extended subframe E Then, terminal-specific communication using the virtual cell identifier VCID is executed. Therefore, by stopping downlink transmission in the extended subframe E, it is possible to flexibly fall back to cell operation (cell operation not using the virtual cell identifier VCID) in which only cell-specific communication is performed without terminal-specific communication. Is possible.
- a discovery signal used for the user terminal 100 to discover the cell C is proposed. It is specified that the discovery signal is transmitted from the base station eNB in the downlink subframe D and the special subframe S. Naturally, in the LTE standard before Release 12 that does not refer to the newly proposed extended subframe E, transmission of discovery signals in the extended subframe E is not defined.
- the third embodiment as in the second embodiment, it is assumed that terminal-specific communication (communication using the virtual cell identifier VCID) is performed in the extended subframe E.
- the first discovery signal d1 is a cell-specific radio signal used for detection of the cell C corresponding to the base station eNB that transmits the first discovery signal d1 as in the conventional case.
- the second discovery signal d2 transmitted in the extended subframe E is a virtual cell specific used for detection of the virtual cell VC corresponding to one or more base stations eNB that transmits the second discovery signal d2. Wireless signal.
- the discovery signal d of this embodiment may not include a synchronization signal or a cell-specific reference signal.
- the discovery signal d may be configured in the same manner as CSI-RS, for example. This is because the discovery signal d does not have to support the synchronization function or the mobility function.
- the conventional CSI-RS is transmitted in the entire band of the serving cell.
- a part for example, a partial partial in the center as shown in FIG. 17. It may be transmitted only in the band. This is because the transmission purpose of the discovery signal d is cell detection, not channel quality (CSI) measurement. With this configuration, it is possible to reduce interference due to the discovery signal d to the adjacent band in the new extended subframe E.
- the downlink receiving unit 132 of the user terminal 100 can individually detect and receive the first discovery signal d1 and the second discovery signal d2. Further, the uplink transmission unit 134 can individually report the discovery result by the first discovery signal d1 and the discovery result by the second discovery signal d2.
- the normal cell C and the virtual cell VC are detected separately, and the discovery result is also reported separately, so that the selection of the cell C and the selection of the virtual cell VC are more appropriate. To be done. Further, since the user terminal 100 that does not support the extended subframe E only needs to execute the detection operation using only the first discovery signal d1 as in the past, the overhead increases even if the second discovery signal d2 is transmitted. There is nothing.
- the control unit 130 of the user terminal 100 includes an intermittent reception control unit 136.
- the intermittent reception control unit 136 determines whether or not the intermittent reception state transition is necessary based on the number of subframes SF (PDCCH subframes) including the PDCCH. More specifically, when the PDCCH subframe in which the data signal addressed to the user terminal 100 is not transmitted is counted more than a predetermined threshold, the intermittent reception control unit 136 determines that the user terminal 100 should transition to the intermittent reception state. .
- PDCCH subframes PDCCH subframes
- downlink subframe D and special subframe S correspond to PDCCH subframes.
- the newly proposed extended subframe E corresponds to a PDCCH subframe.
- two patterns of handling of the extended subframe E in the intermittent reception control will be described.
- intermittent reception control unit In the pattern 1, the intermittent reception control unit 136 does not count the extended subframe E as a PDCCH subframe regardless of whether or not the data signal addressed to the user terminal 100 is transmitted in the extended subframe E.
- the downlink reception unit 132 performs reception and decoding of the PDCCH (or E-PDCCH) in the extended subframe E described above.
- the PDCCH subframe counting method is common to user terminals 100a that do not support extended subframe E and user terminals 100b that support extended subframe E. To do. Therefore, although the new extended subframe E is introduced, the intermittent reception control algorithm can be applied without modification. In addition, since the assignment between the uplink transmission and the downlink transmission in the extended subframe E does not affect the intermittent reception control, the above assignment can be performed flexibly.
- Pattern 2 Operation of intermittent reception control unit (Pattern 2)
- the intermittent reception control unit 136 counts the extended subframe E as a PDCCH subframe. In other words, when the user terminal 100 performs uplink transmission in the extended subframe E, the intermittent reception control unit 136 does not count the extended subframe E as a PDCCH subframe.
- Modification 1 In the subframe SF, when transmission of an uplink control signal (for example, SRS, PRACH, or Periodic CSI / SR) that is set semi-static based on control in the RRC layer is scheduled
- the user terminal 100 may not recognize the subframe SF as the extended subframe E. In that case, the user terminal 100 may recognize the subframe SF as the uplink subframe U. Further, the user terminal 100 is scheduled to transmit an uplink control signal (for example, SRS, PRACH, or Periodic CSI / SR) that is set semi-static based on control in the RRC layer.
- an uplink control signal for example, SRS, PRACH, or Periodic CSI / SR
- the user terminal 100 does not generate HARQ feedback bits corresponding to subframes that are not notified of the extended subframe E.
- the use of the extended subframe E is implicitly notified from the base station eNB (the small base station 300 controlled by the macro base station 200) to the user terminal 100 (that is, uplink or downlink).
- the base station eNB may explicitly notify the user terminal 100 that a certain subframe SF is an extended subframe E.
- the above notification may be notified from the small base station 300, but is preferably notified from the macro base station 200 that controls the small base station 300.
- the above notification is performed using upper layer signaling such as an RRC message, for example.
- the downlink reception unit 132 of the user terminal 100 tries to detect a downlink control signal in the subframe SF that is notified as the extended subframe E.
- a downlink control signal is detected, a downlink reception operation is performed according to the downlink control signal.
- the user terminal 100 may not try to detect the downlink control signal in the subframe SF that is not notified of the extended subframe E. Also, the user terminal 100 does not generate HARQ feedback bits corresponding to subframes that are not notified of the extended subframe E.
- Modification 3 In the first modification in which the base station eNB explicitly notifies the extended subframe E, the base station eNB uses the extended subframe E having a specific subframe number semi-persistent for downlink transmission. The user terminal 100 may be further notified of what to do.
- the downlink reception unit 132 of the user terminal 100 performs a downlink reception operation in the extended subframe E that is notified that it should be used for downlink transmission. Detection of the downlink control signal prior to the above reception operation may or may not be performed.
- the transmission / reception control unit 244 of the macro base station 200 adds the virtual cell for the downlink subframe D and the special subframe S in addition to the virtual cell identifier VCID (VCID1) for the extended subframe E.
- An identifier VCID (VCID2) may be further set.
- the transmission / reception control unit 244 controls the user terminal 100 to execute terminal-specific communication using the virtual cell identifier VCID2 for the downlink subframe D and the special subframe S.
- the uplink transmission part 134 of the user terminal 100 uses channel state information (Channel State Information, CSI) for the downlink sub-frame D and the special sub-frame S which perform cell-specific communication, and terminal specific. It may be reported separately in the extended subframe E that executes dynamic communication. Since the above-described cell-specific communication and terminal-specific communication have different wireless communication environments, according to the configuration of this modification, more appropriate link adaptation according to each communication environment is realized. Note that the above reporting of channel state information may be executed periodically or aperiodically.
- CSI Channel State Information
- the notification of the reception timing of the second discovery signal d2 to the user terminal 100 may be performed by higher layer signaling such as an RRC message, or by MAC signaling or PHY (L1 / L2) signaling. May be.
- higher layer signaling such as an RRC message
- MAC signaling or PHY (L1 / L2) signaling May be.
- notification is performed by higher layer signaling, it is preferable to notify the user terminal 100 of the transmission cycle and transmission timing offset of the semi-static second discovery signal d2.
- notification is performed by MAC signaling or PHY signaling, it is preferable that the detection timing of the second discovery signal d2 is dynamically instructed to the user terminal 100.
- downlink reception (second) is performed for one extended subframe E due to a scheduling error on the network NW side or a false detection on the user terminal 100 side.
- the reception of the discovery signal d2) and the uplink transmission are instructed at the same time.
- the user terminal 100 preferentially receives the second discovery signal d2. This is because the uplink transmission from the user terminal 100 is not executed, so that the collision between the uplink signal and the second discovery signal d2 is avoided. As a result, deterioration of the detection accuracy of the second discovery signal d2 in the other user terminal 100 is avoided.
- the radio frame F includes at least one uplink subframe U in order to ensure feedback from the user terminal 100.
- a UL-DL configuration including an extended subframe E and an uplink subframe U is adopted in the main cell.

Abstract
Description
1(1). セルラ無線通信システムの概略
図2は、本発明の第1実施形態に係るセルラ無線通信システムCSを示す概略図である。セルラ無線通信システムCSは、ユーザ端末100とマクロ基地局200とスモール基地局300とを備える。マクロ基地局200およびスモール基地局300は、交換局およびゲートウェイを備えるコアネットワークCN(不図示)に接続される。スモール基地局300は、コアネットワークCNと直接に接続されるのではなく、マクロ基地局200を経由してコアネットワークに接続されてもよい。ネットワークNWは、セルラ無線通信システムCSが備える上記の要素のうち、ユーザ端末100以外の要素を備える。
前述の通り、時分割複信による無線通信においては、無線通信リソースとして無線フレームFが用いられる。各ノード(ユーザ端末100、マクロ基地局200、スモール基地局300等)は、種々の無線信号(参照信号、ユーザ信号等)を無線フレームFに搭載して送信する。1つの無線フレームFは10個のサブフレームSFを含む。各サブフレームSFの時間長は1ミリ秒であり、1つの無線フレームFの時間長は10ミリ秒である。図1に示すように、各サブフレームSFに対して、#0から#9までのいずれかのサブフレーム番号が送信順に付与される。
図1から理解されるように、従来の各UL-DLコンフィギュレーション(#0~#6)は、下りリンクサブフレームDと上りリンクサブフレームUとの双方を含む。前述の通り、現在のセルラ無線通信システムCSにおいては、下りリンクのトラフィック増大が1つの課題である。セルラ無線通信システムCSにおいて下りリンク信号の伝送量が多く上りリンク信号の伝送量が少ない場合、下りリンクサブフレームDが不足する一方で上りリンクサブフレームUが過剰であるケースが想定される。以上のケースでは、上りリンクに割り当てられた無線リソースが有効に活用されず無駄になるという問題がある。
1(4)-1. ユーザ端末の構成
図9は、第1実施形態に係るユーザ端末100の構成ブロック図である。ユーザ端末100は、無線通信部110と記憶部120と制御部130とを備える。音声・映像等を出力する出力装置及びユーザからの指示を受け付ける入力装置等の図示は便宜的に省略されている。無線通信部110は、マクロ基地局200およびスモール基地局300と無線通信を実行するための要素であり、送受信アンテナと、無線信号(電波)を受信して電気信号に変換する受信回路と、制御信号、ユーザ信号等の電気信号を無線信号(電波)に変換して送信する送信回路とを含む。記憶部120は、通信制御に関する情報および後述のコンピュータプログラムを記憶する。
図10は、第1実施形態に係るマクロ基地局200の構成ブロック図である。マクロ基地局200は、無線通信部210とネットワーク通信部220と記憶部230と制御部240とを備える。無線通信部210は、ユーザ端末100と無線通信を実行するための要素であり、送受信アンテナと受信回路と送信回路とを含む。ネットワーク通信部220は、スモール基地局300をはじめとするネットワークNW内の他のノードと通信を実行するための要素であり、他のノードと信号を送受信する。記憶部230は、通信制御に関する情報および後述のコンピュータプログラムを記憶する。
図11は、第1実施形態に係るスモール基地局300の構成ブロック図である。スモール基地局300は、無線通信部310とネットワーク通信部320と記憶部330と制御部340とを備える。無線通信部310は、ユーザ端末100と無線通信を実行するための要素であり、送受信アンテナと受信回路と送信回路とを含む。ネットワーク通信部320は、マクロ基地局200をはじめとするネットワークNW内の他のノードと通信を実行するための要素であり、他のノードと信号を送受信する。記憶部330は、通信制御に関する情報および後述のコンピュータプログラムを記憶する。
図12は、無線信号の送受信に先立って実行される各ノードの通知動作を示すフロー図である。マクロ基地局200とスモール基地局300とは相互に同期している。スモール基地局300は、そのスモール基地局300(スモールセルC2)が無線信号の送受信に使用しているUL-DLコンフィギュレーション番号をマクロ基地局200に通知すると共に、そのスモール基地局300(スモールセルC2)が拡張サブフレームEに対応している場合にはその旨を示す情報をマクロ基地局200に通知する(S10)。
以下、拡張サブフレームEに対応するスモール基地局300およびユーザ端末100が実行する送受信動作を説明する。下りリンクサブフレームDおよび特別サブフレームSに関する送受信動作は従来と同様であるから、拡張サブフレームEにおける送受信動作について以下に説明する。
拡張サブフレームEに対応していないユーザ端末100aは、拡張サブフレームEにおいて、従来の上りリンクサブフレームUと同じ動作を実行する。換言すると、ユーザ端末100aは、基地局eNBより通知された当該基地局eNBが形成するセルCのUL-DLコンフィギュレーションに基づき、図8の拡張サブフレームEに相当するサブフレームを従来の上りリンクサブフレームUとして認識する。より具体的には、ユーザ端末100aの上りリンク送信部134は、所定数前の下りリンクサブフレームDが含む下りリンク制御信号(L1/L2制御信号)が当該拡張サブフレームEにおける上りリンク送信を指示する場合、または事前にRRC等の上位レイヤシグナリングによって上りリンク送信が指示された場合には、その指示に従ってスモール基地局300へ上りリンク信号を送信する。一方で、以上の下りリンク制御信号またはRRC等の上位レイヤシグナリングが上りリンク送信を指示しない場合には、上りリンク信号を送信しない。
拡張サブフレームEに対応するユーザ端末100bは、拡張サブフレームEにおいて、下りリンク制御信号(例えば、物理下りリンク制御チャネル(PDCCH)で送信されるL1/L2制御信号)または上位レイヤシグナリング(例えば、RRCメッセージ)に基づき、スモールセルC2における上りリンク送信または下りリンク受信を実行する。
1(6)-1. 参照信号
拡張サブフレームEにおいて下りリンク送信部344から送信される下りリンク参照信号の構成は、下りリンクサブフレームDにおいて下りリンク送信部344から送信される参照信号の構成と異なる。
スモール基地局300の下りリンク送信部344は、拡張サブフレームEでの下りリンク送信電力を、下りリンクサブフレームDでの下りリンク送信電力よりも低くすると好適である。例えば、下りリンク送信部344は、下りリンクサブフレームDでは下り送信電力として30dBm(または46dBm)を採用する一方、拡張サブフレームEでは下り送信電力として23dBm(上りリンク最大送信電力と同じ送信電力)を採用する。
以上の本実施形態によれば、新たな拡張サブフレームEが導入される。拡張サブフレームEは、基地局eNB(本実施形態では、マクロ基地局200に制御されるスモール基地局300)からのスケジューリングに基づいて、下りリンク伝送にも上りリンク伝送にも使用されることが可能である。したがって、全てのサブフレームSFの用途(D/U/Sの種別)が固定されている構成と比較して、時分割複信における上りリンク通信と下りリンク通信との無線リソース配分を柔軟に実行することが可能である。
本発明の第2実施形態を以下に説明する。以下に例示する各実施形態において、作用、機能が第1実施形態と同等である要素については、以上の説明で参照した符号を流用して各々の説明を適宜に省略する。
仮想セル識別子VCIDは、1つ以上の基地局eNB(好適には複数の基地局eNB)に対応する識別子である。物理セル識別子PCIと同様、仮想セル識別子VCIDは、参照信号等の無線信号のスクランブリングや符号系列の生成に用いられるスクランブリングコードに対応する。
図15を参照して、本実施形態の仮想セル識別子を用いた拡張サブフレームの運用について説明する。マクロ基地局200の送受信制御部244は、ユーザ端末100に対し、下りリンクサブフレームDおよび特別サブフレームSにおいて、前述と同様、物理セル識別子PCIを用いたセル特異的な(Cell-specific)通信を実行するように制御する。一方、送受信制御部244は、ユーザ端末100に対し、拡張サブフレームEにおいては仮想セル識別子VCIDを用いた端末特異的な(UE-specific)通信を実行するように制御する。
以上の構成によれば、図16に示すように、下りリンクサブフレームDおよび特別サブフレームSでは仮想セル識別子VCIDを用いないセル特異的な通信が実行され、拡張サブフレームEでは仮想セル識別子VCIDを用いた端末特異的な通信が実行される。したがって、拡張サブフレームEにおける下りリンク伝送を停止することにより、端末特異的な通信せずセル特異的な通信のみを実行するセル運用(仮想セル識別子VCIDを使用しないセル運用)に柔軟にフォールバックすることが可能である。
リリース12のLTE規格では、ユーザ端末100が、セルCを発見するのに用いられるディスカバリ信号が提案されている。ディスカバリ信号は、下りリンクサブフレームDおよび特別サブフレームSにて基地局eNBから送信されることが規定されている。当然ながら、今回新たに提案される拡張サブフレームEに言及しないリリース12以前のLTE規格においては、拡張サブフレームEにおけるディスカバリ信号の送信が規定されていない。
図17を参照して、第3実施形態におけるディスカバリ信号dの送信について説明する。本実施形態では、下りリンクサブフレームDおよび特別サブフレームSにおいて第1ディスカバリ信号d1が送信され、拡張サブフレームEにおいて第2ディスカバリ信号d2が送信される。
以上の構成によれば、通常のセルCと仮想セルVCとが別個に検出され、ディスカバリ結果も別個に報告されるので、セルCの選択および仮想セルVCの選択がより適切に行われる。また、拡張サブフレームEに対応しないユーザ端末100は、従来通り、第1ディスカバリ信号d1のみを用いて検出動作を実行すればよいので、第2ディスカバリ信号d2が送信されていてもオーバヘッドが増大することがない。
リリース8から12のLTE規格では、下りリンク伝送が所定の期間にわたって実行されない場合、ユーザ端末100が間欠的な受信動作を実行する間欠受信(discontinuous reception,DRX)状態に遷移することが規定されている。
パターン1では、間欠受信制御部136は、拡張サブフレームEにおいてユーザ端末100宛てのデータ信号が送信されるか否かに関わらず、その拡張サブフレームEをPDCCHサブフレームとしてカウントしない。なお、下りリンク受信部132は、以上の拡張サブフレームEにおけるPDCCH(又はE-PDCCH)の受信及び復号を実行する。
以上のパターン1の構成によれば、PDCCHサブフレームのカウント手法が、拡張サブフレームEに対応していないユーザ端末100aと拡張サブフレームEに対応するユーザ端末100bとで共通する。したがって、新たな拡張サブフレームEが導入されるにも関わらず間欠受信制御アルゴリズムを改変せずに適用可能となる。また、拡張サブフレームEにおける上りリンク伝送と下りリンク伝送との割当てが間欠受信制御に影響しないので、柔軟に以上の割当てを行うことが可能である。
パターン2では、間欠受信制御部136は、拡張サブフレームEにおいて下りリンク受信部132がPDCCH(又はE-PDCCH)の受信を試みた場合に、その拡張サブフレームEをPDCCHサブフレームとしてカウントする。換言すると、間欠受信制御部136は、拡張サブフレームEにおいてユーザ端末100が上りリンク送信を実行する場合に、その拡張サブフレームEをPDCCHサブフレームとしてカウントしない。
以上のパターン2の構成によれば、パターン1の構成と比較してPDCCHサブフレームとしてカウントされるサブフレームSFの個数が増大する。したがって、ユーザ端末100がより早期に間欠受信状態に遷移するので、ユーザ端末100の消費電力をより低減することが可能である。
以上の実施形態は多様に変形される。具体的な変形の態様を以下に例示する。以上の実施の形態および以下の例示から任意に選択された2以上の態様は、相互に矛盾しない限り適宜に併合され得る。
サブフレームSFにおいて、RRC層での制御に基づいて準静的(semi-static)に設定される上りリンク制御信号(例えば、SRS,PRACH,又はPeriodic CSI/SR)の送信がスケジュールされている場合、ユーザ端末100は、そのサブフレームSFを拡張サブフレームEと認識しなくてもよい。その場合、ユーザ端末100がそのサブフレームSFを上りリンクサブフレームUと認識してもよい。また、ユーザ端末100は、RRC層での制御に基づいて準静的(semi-static)に設定される上りリンク制御信号(例えば、SRS,PRACH,又はPeriodic CSI/SR)の送信がスケジュールされている当該サブフレームSFにおいては、下りリンク制御信号の検出を試みなくてよい。また、ユーザ端末100は、拡張サブフレームEであると通知されていないサブフレームに対応するHARQフィードバックビットは生成しない。
第1実施形態では、拡張サブフレームEの用途が、基地局eNB(マクロ基地局200に制御されるスモール基地局300)からユーザ端末100へ暗示的に通知される(すなわち、上りリンクまたは下りリンクのスケジューリング情報として通知される)。しかしながら、あるサブフレームSFが拡張サブフレームEであることが基地局eNBからユーザ端末100へ明示的に通知されてもよい。以上の通知は、スモール基地局300から通知されてもよいが、スモール基地局300を制御するマクロ基地局200から通知されると好適である。以上の通知は、例えば、RRCメッセージ等の上位レイヤシグナリングを用いて行われる。
基地局eNBが明示的に拡張サブフレームEを通知する変形例1において、基地局eNBが、特定のサブフレーム番号を有する拡張サブフレームEを下りリンク伝送に準永続的(semi-persistent)に使用すべきことを、ユーザ端末100に更に通知してもよい。
第2実施形態において、マクロ基地局200の送受信制御部244は、拡張サブフレームEのための仮想セル識別子VCID(VCID1)に加えて、下りリンクサブフレームDおよび特別サブフレームSのための仮想セル識別子VCID(VCID2)を更に設定してもよい。その場合、送受信制御部244は、ユーザ端末100に対し、下りリンクサブフレームDおよび特別サブフレームS用において、仮想セル識別子VCID2を用いた端末特異的な通信を実行するように制御する。
第2実施形態において、ユーザ端末100の上りリンク送信部134は、チャネル状態情報(Channel State Information,CSI)を、セル特異的通信を実行する下りリンクサブフレームDおよび特別サブフレームSと、端末特異的通信を実行する拡張サブフレームEとで、個別に報告してもよい。以上のセル特異的通信と端末特異的通信とでは無線通信環境が互いに相違するので、本変形例の構成によれば、それぞれの通信環境に応じたより適切なリンクアダプテーションが実現される。なお、以上のチャネル状態情報の報告は、周期的に実行されてもよいし、非周期的に実行されてもよい。
第3実施形態において、ユーザ端末100に対する第2ディスカバリ信号d2の受信タイミングの通知は、RRCメッセージ等の上位レイヤシグナリングによって行われてもよいし、MACシグナリングまたはPHY(L1/L2)シグナリングによって行われてもよい。上位レイヤシグナリングによって通知が行われる場合には、準静的な(semi-static)第2ディスカバリ信号d2の送信周期および送信タイミングのオフセットがユーザ端末100に通知されると好適である。一方、MACシグナリングまたはPHYシグナリングによって通知が行われる場合には、第2ディスカバリ信号d2の検出タイミングがユーザ端末100に対して動的に指示されると好適である。
以上の実施形態では、セルラ無線通信システムCSにおいてキャリアアグリゲーションが採用され、副セルとしてのスモール基地局300が拡張サブフレームEを送信する。しかしながら、主セルとしてのマクロ基地局200が拡張サブフレームEを送信する構成も採用可能である。以上の構成においては、ユーザ端末100からのフィードバックを確保するため、無線フレームFに少なくとも1つの上りリンクサブフレームUが含まれると好適である。換言すると、主セルにおいては、拡張サブフレームEと上りリンクサブフレームUとを含むUL-DLコンフィギュレーションが採用されると好適である。
ユーザ端末100は、マクロ基地局200およびスモール基地局300と無線通信が可能な任意の装置である。ユーザ端末100は、例えば、フィーチャーフォンまたはスマートフォン等の携帯電話端末でもよく、デスクトップ型パーソナルコンピュータでもよく、ノート型パーソナルコンピュータでもよく、UMPC(Ultra-Mobile Personal Computer)でもよく、携帯用ゲーム機でもよく、その他の無線端末でもよい。
セルラ無線通信システムCS内の各要素(ユーザ端末100,マクロ基地局200,スモール基地局300)においてCPUが実行する各機能は、CPUの代わりに、ハードウェアで実行してもよいし、例えばFPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array)、DSP(Digital Signal Processor)等のプログラマブルロジックデバイスで実行してもよい。
