このような、高度な通信技術を実現する通信システムにおいて、基地局装置の負荷が高まり、基地局装置の管理者は、基地局装置を停止して修理、維持、管理作業をしなければならないことがある。また、基地局装置は、有限の基地局装置の識別子であるセルIDを多数の基地局装置で利用しているため、異なる基地局装置でセルIDが重複することがあり、該セルIDを変更しなければならないことがある。同様に、基地局装置と移動局装置との通信を同期するための情報も変更が必要なことがある。
ここで、セルラ移動通信方式では、移動局装置が基地局装置と通信をするため、セルIDや通信を同期するための情報を利用している(非特許文献1、非特許文献2)。よって、基地局装置の停止や前記セルID等の基地局装置情報の変更をすると、移動局装置では、通信の切断やハンドオーバの失敗などが発生する。非特許文献3には、基地局装置の管理者は、基地局装置と移動局装置との通信量が少なくなる時間帯まで待って、該時間帯に送受信を停止し、基地局装置の停止や前記セルID等の基地局装置情報の変更をすることが記載されている。

以下、図面を参照しながら本発明の実施形態について詳しく説明する。図1は、本実施形態における基地局装置の通信領域の区分を概念的に示す説明図である。基地局装置Ba~Bcは、それぞれ通信範囲であるセルa~cを有し、セルa~cは、それぞれ3つのセクタa1~a3、セクタb1~b3、セクタc1~c3を有する。しかし、本発明はこれに限らず、1つのセルにセクタがいくつあってもよく、又は、セルがセクタに分割されていなくてもよい。
ここで、セクタa1、セクタb1、セクタc1をセクタ1という(セクタ番号「1」)。また、セクタa2、セクタb2、セクタc2をセクタ2(セクタ番号「2」)といい、セクタa3、セクタb3、セクタc3をセクタ3(セクタ番号「3」)と総称する。

復調処理部153は、無線制御部120の制御に基づいて、A/D変換部152から入力されたデジタル信号を復調処理し、該復調処理をした移動局装置からのデータをネットワーク制御部110へ出力する。
ネットワーク制御部110は、移動局装置への送信データをデータ変調部181に出力し、各回路の制御や移動局装置との通信の制御を行うための制御情報を無線制御部120に出力する。
ネットワーク制御部110の通信先選択部111は、後述する周辺セルサーチ要求に対し、移動局装置200がハンドオーバをする基地局装置を選択し、該選択した基地局装置をハンドオーバ先に指定したハンドオーバコマンドを生成する。

前記一定の周波数領域BRと1スロット長で区切られた領域を、基地局装置100から移動局装置200に対する下りの信号ではリソースブロックと呼び、移動局装置200から基地局装置100に対する上りの信号ではリソースユニットと呼ぶ。さらに、前記リソースブロック及び前記リソースユニットは、さらに所定の時間間隔で区切られ、基地局装置100は、該区切られた領域にシンボルを割り当て、送信信号を配置する。
本実施形態では、基地局装置100は、同期チャネルとしてプライマリ同期チャネル(Primary Synchronization Channel:P-SCH)とセカンダリ同期チャネル(Secondary Synchronization Channel:S-SCH)を同じタイミングで符号分割多重して送信する。
基地局装置100の多重・変調部184は、P-SCHを、システム帯域幅BWの中心にある6つのリソースブロック帯域幅において、サブフレーム番号#0及び#5の先頭スロットに含まれる最後の時間領域に割り当てたシンボルに配置する。また、多重・変調部184は、S-SCHを、P-SCHを配置した直前の時間領域に割り当てたシンボルに配置する。
なお、異なるセル間において、同一セクタに送信する符号PSCは同じ符号を用いる。例えば、前記セクタa1、セクタb1、及びセクタc1に対し、それぞれ、基地局装置Ba、基地局装置Bb、及び基地局装置Bcが送信する符号PSCは、同じ符号PSC(1)である。
SSCには、基地局装置100の識別情報であるセルID、フレームの同期タイミング、基地局装置100のアンテナ数などの基地局装置の情報を対応させる。
受信アナログ回路部202は、受信アンテナ部201が受信したアナログ信号を復調処理が可能な周波数の信号へ変換し、A/D変換部203に出力する。

FFT部207は、S/P変換部206から入力される時間領域の信号を、高速フーリエ変換の処理を行うことにより周波数領域の信号に変換し、伝搬路推定・補償部208に出力する。
復調・復号部209が出力した信号は、MAC部209を介し、移動局装置200の上位層に出力される。
情報記憶部231は、同期部204から入力されるセクタ番号と、MAC210部から入力される符号SSCに含まれる情報とをセクタ情報として記憶する。また、情報記憶部231は、予め記憶する基地局装置の識別情報に変更がある場合は、情報を変更する。基地局装置の識別情報とは、例えば、セルID、スクランブル符号、フレームの同期タイミングである。
通信先変更部232は、基地局装置200のネットワーク制御部110が生成した前記ハンドオーバコマンドが入力されると、後述するハンドオーバ処理を行う。

バッファ2044~2046は、それぞれ、相関器2041~2043から入力された相関値を一定期間保持する。
セクタ・タイミング検出器2047は、バッファ2044~2046に保持された相関値から、相関値が最大となる時刻と符号PSCの種類を特定し、該特定した符号PSCの種類と時刻を、自局が同期する対象となるセクタ番号とスロットのタイミングとする。具体的には、図1の移動局装置M1では、符号PSC(2)との相関が最大となり、移動局装置M2では、符号PSC(3)と、相関値が最大となる(以下、PSC同定処理という)。
セクタ・タイミング検出器2047は、セクタ番号及び受信品質をセクタ情報として、また、前記タイミングをタイミング情報として出力する。
制御信号復調・復号部2092は、入力セレクタ2091から入力される信号に含まれる制御信号に対して復調処理や復号処理を行い出力セレクタ2095に出力する。
データ信号復調・復号部2093は、入力セレクタ2091から入力される信号に含まれるデータ信号に対して復調処理や復号処理を行い出力セレクタ2095に出力する。
一方、GI除去部205は、A/D変換部203から入力された前記受信信号に対し、同期部204から入力されたスロットタイミング情報に基づいて、ガードインターバルを除去する。同期部204から出力された信号は、S/P変換部206、FFT部207を介し、伝搬路推定・補償部208に出力される。
復調・復号部209のS-SCH復調・復号部404は、S-SCH信号を復調・復号し、該信号に含まれる符号SSCから基地局装置BaのセルID、フレームタイミング、送信アンテナ数などの情報を取得し、MAC部210を介し、上位層へ出力する(S102)。
情報記憶部231は、復調・復号部209から入力された情報に基づき、前記基地局装置の識別情報を変更する。
ここで、同期部204は、在圏しているセクタの周囲のセクタを検索するため、符号PSC(2)以外の符号PSCである符号PSC(1)と符号PSC(3)とPSC同定処理を実施する。つまり、移動局装置M1は、図1中のセクタa2(セクタ番号「2」)を囲んでいるセクタ番号「1」、「3」であるセクタa1、セクタa3、セクタb3、セクタb3、及びセクタc1の信号とPSC同定処理する。
同期部204は、符号PSC(1)又は、符号PSC(3)に基づき、同定した信号の前記セクタ情報とスロットタイミング情報を取得する(S201)。また、同期部204は、計測した電波品質をMAC部210に出力する。一方、GI除去部205は、A/D変換部203から入力された前記受信信号に対し、同期部204から入力されたスロットタイミング情報に基づいて、ガードインターバルを除去する。GI除去部205から出力された信号は、S/P変換部206、FFT部207を介し、伝搬路推定・補償部208に出力される。
復調・復号部209のS-SCH復調・復号部2094は、S-SCH信号を復調・復号し、該信号に含まれるSSCからハンドオーバ先である基地局装置のセルID、フレームタイミング、送信アンテナ数などの情報を取得し、MAC部210に出力する(S202)。
MAC部210は、同期部204から入力された電波品質と、復調・復号部209から入力された前記情報とを上位層へ出力する。
基地局装置Bbの通信先選択部111は、自基地局装置の負荷状況に基づき、移動局装置M1のハンドオーバの可否を決定する(S206)。例えば、自基地局装置に接続する移動局装置の数が所定の閾値を超えない場合は、ハンドオーバを許可する。基地局装置Bbは、ハンドオーバを許可した場合、移動局装置と基地局装置Bbが通信をするために必要なプリアンブル情報を基地局装置Baに送信する。
データ変調部181へ出力された前記ハンドオーバコマンドを含む送信データは、多重・変調処理部184、D/A変換部185、送信アナログ回路部186、送信アンテナ部162を介して、移動局装置M1に送信される。
無線制御部120の信号制御部122は、制御信号変調部182とデータ変調部181とに対し、変調処理を停止する制御情報を出力する。制御信号変調部182とデータ変調部181とは、信号制御部122から入力された制御情報に基づき、それぞれ制御データと送信データの変調を停止する。該変調の停止をすると、同期チャネル以外の信号の生成が停止される(S304)。
これにより、移動局装置は、他のセクタに移動しているので、通信を切断することを回避することができる。
さらに、前記送受信を停止する基地局装置が移動局装置にハンドオーバコマンドを送信することで、通信中の移動局装置を、該送受信を停止するセクタ以外のセクタへハンドオーバさせることができる。これにより、前記送受信を停止する基地局装置は、移動局装置が他のセクタへハンドオーバするので、移動局装置との通信の切断を発生させることなく、送受信を停止することができる。
以下、図面を参照しながら本発明の第2の実施形態について詳しく説明する。本実施形態では、さらに、送受信を停止する基地局装置へハンドオーバを試みる移動局装置が該停止する基地局装置にハンドオーバしないようにする。
なお、本実施形態は、基地局装置Baが他の基地局装置の識別子と通信先情報との関係を記憶しているが、本発明はこれに限られず、他の装置が記憶していてもよい。この場合、該他の装置は、基地局装置Baの識別子と基地局装置Baに隣り合う基地局装置の識別子の関係を記憶し、基地局装置Baからブラックリストの登録要求を受け、基地局装置Baに隣り合う基地局装置に対し、該登録要求を送信してもよい。
基地局装置Baの通信先選択部311は、基地局装置Bbと基地局装置Bcにブラックリストの登録要求をする(S401)。基地局装置Bbと基地局装置Bcの通信先選択部311は、基地局装置Baの識別子をブラックリストに登録する(S402)。これにより、移動局装置200は、基地局装置Bb、又は、基地局装置Bcとの周辺セルサーチの結果、基地局装置Baをハンドオーバ先とすることはない。
無線制御部120の信号制御部122は、制御信号変調部182とデータ変調部181とに対し、変調処理を停止する制御情報を出力する。制御信号変調部182とデータ変調部181とは、信号制御部122から入力された制御情報に基づき、それぞれ制御データと送信データの変調を停止する。該変調の停止をすると、同期チャネル以外の信号の生成が停止される(S406)。
これにより、送受信を停止する基地局装置Baは、他の基地局装置と周辺セルサーチをする移動局装置を基地局装置Baにハンドオーバさせず、該移動局装置に通信の切断や、ハンドオーバの失敗など、通信に大きな影響を与えることなく基地局装置の停止をすることができる。
以下、図面を参照しながら本発明の第3の実施形態について詳しく説明する。本実施形態では、基地局装置は、保有する同期チャネルの情報を変更する。以下、符号PSC又は符号SSCを変更する場合について説明をする。しかし、本実施形態はこれに限られず、符号PSCと符号SSCを同時に変更してもよいし、その他の情報を変更してもよい。
無線制御部420は、変更予定情報通知部412から入力された前記変更予定情報を制御信号変調部182に出力し、時刻Tにネットワーク制御部410から入力される符号PCS’又は符号SSC’を同期信号生成部183に出力する。
無線制御部420の同期チャネル制御部121と信号制御部122とが持つ機能は、第1の実施形態と同じであるので、説明は省略する。
基地局装置Baの同期チャネル制御部121は、同期信号生成部183に対し、メンテナンス等により送受信を停止する予定のセクタについて同期チャネル信号の生成を停止する制御情報を出力する。同期信号生成部183は、同期チャネル制御部121から入力された制御情報に基づき同期チャネル信号であるP-SCHとS-SCHの生成を停止する(S504)。
ネットワーク制御部410は、時刻Tが経過していれば、記憶している符号PSC又は符号SSCを、それぞれ、符号PCS’又は符号SSC’に変更する(S506)。
また、前記基地局装置が通信中の移動局装置に対し、変更予定の情報と変更時刻を通知することで、前記移動局装置は、前記基地局装置と同じ変更時刻に基地局装置の情報を変更することができる。これにより、前記移動局装置は、基地局装置との通信に必要な情報に差異を生ずることはなく、該情報の差異による通信の切断を防止することができる。
具体的には、信号制御部122は、同期信号生成部183に対し、段階的に振幅を小さくした同期チャネル信号を生成する制御をする。信号制御部122は、データ変調部181と制御信号変調部182に対し、該振幅を小さくした同期チャネル信号が含まれるスロット、又は、サブフレーム、又は、フレームの信号の振幅を小さくして変調する制御をする。ただし、本発明はこれに限られず、例えば、多重・変調処理部184が出力波形の段階的に振幅を小さくしてもよいし、送信アナログ回路部186が送信電力を段階的に減らしてもよい。
よって、基地局装置が、スロット毎、又は、サブフレーム毎、又は、フレーム毎の信号の送信電力を段階的に減らすことにより、移動局装置は、該S-SCHに基づいて伝搬路推定、伝搬路補償をする信号を、正しく伝搬路推定、伝搬路補償をすることができる。特に、QAM(Quadrature Amplitude Modulation:直交振幅変調)のように振幅を情報に対応させている場合、誤った前記振幅差の伝搬路補償により、復調する情報に誤りが発生することを防止することができる。
なお、停止した基地局装置の通信開始時には、隣接する他の基地局装置が信号の送信電力を段階的に下げる。
また、「コンピュータ読み取り可能な記録媒体」とは、フレキシブルディスク、光磁気ディスク、ROM、CD-ROM等の可搬媒体、コンピュータシステムに内蔵されるハードディスク等の記憶装置のことをいう。さらに「コンピュータ読み取り可能な記録媒体」とは、インターネット等のネットワークや電話回線等の通信回線を介してプログラムを送信する場合の通信線のように、短時刻の間、動的にプログラムを保持するもの、その場合のサーバやクライアントとなるコンピュータシステム内部の揮発性メモリのように、一定時刻プログラムを保持しているものも含むものとする。また上記プログラムは、前述した機能の一部を実現するためのものであってもよく、さらに前述した機能をコンピュータシステムにすでに記録されているプログラムとの組み合わせで実現できるものであってもよい。
