- FIG. 1 is a timing chart showing a communication method according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
- the base station transmits the multiplexed packet P 1 and the packet P 2 is an initial transmission packets over the downlink to a terminal (reception called device both) (step S101).
- the terminal that has received the signal stores the received signal in which the packet P 1 and the packet P 2 are multiplexed, and performs interference cancellation processing and data detection processing.
- Interference means other multiplexed signals. That is, the packet P 2 is an interference component for the packet P 1, the packet P 1 is an interference component for the packet P 2.
- the interference cancellation process is a process for removing interference using a signal (replica) obtained by reproducing an interference signal from a received signal. In the interference cancellation process, for example, when detecting the packet P 2 is used a signal obtained by removing the replica of the packet P 1 from the received signal.
- the terminal generates a signal including success / failure information (NACK 1 , NACK 2 ) for reporting to the base station that an error has occurred in packets P 1 and P 2 . Then, the terminal transmits success / failure information to the base station via the uplink (step S102).
- the base station that has received the success / failure information signal generates a retransmission packet P 3 for the packet P 1 for which the NACK has been returned and transmits it to the terminal (step S103).
- the base station according to the present embodiment generates retransmission packets for some of the plurality of packets for which NACK is returned, and transmits the retransmission packets to the terminal.
- the following method can be used as a method of selecting some packets.
- Transmission data included in each packet is sequentially transmitted from an upper layer. By retransmitting in the order sent from the higher layer, the average delay time can be shortened. (2) By preferentially retransmitting packets including information with high importance (short request delay), it is possible to shorten the delay time of packets with high importance. (3) In the case of incremental redundancy (IR), the larger the initial transmission coding rate, the greater the degree of decrease in the coding rate due to retransmission packet synthesis. Therefore, by preferentially retransmitting a packet with a large coding rate for initial transmission, the coding gain due to retransmission is increased, and efficient retransmission can be performed.
- IR incremental redundancy
- the average delay time can be shortened by preferentially retransmitting a packet with a small number of retransmissions.
- the maximum delay time can be shortened by preferentially retransmitting a packet having a large number of retransmissions.
- the terminal that has received the downlink signal demodulates the retransmission packet P 3, and uses the demodulation result of the packet P 3 and the received signal in which the stored packet P 1 and packet P 2 are multiplexed, to perform interference cancellation processing. And data detection processing.
- detection accuracy is improved by removing replicas of other multiplexed packets.
- better detection accuracy can be obtained by detecting data using a signal obtained by combining the initial transmission packet and the retransmission packet than when detecting data using only the initial transmission packet.
- by synthesizing a retransmission packet improves the detection accuracy of the packet P 1 from the time of detection of the initial transmission, with the improvement of the replica accuracy packets P 1, also improved the detection accuracy of the packet P 2.
- the terminal generates a signal including success or failure information (ACK 1, ACK 2) for reporting to the base station that there is no error in the packet of the packet P 1 and the packet P 2. Then, the terminal transmits the generated signal to the base station via the uplink (Step S104).
- ACK 1, ACK 2 success or failure information
- the base station that has received ACK 1 and ACK 2 does not need to perform retransmission corresponding to the packets P 1 and P 2 . Consequently, by retransmitting the packet P 3 corresponding to the packet P 1, it is possible to improve the error in both the packet P 1 and the packet P 2. Further, without performing retransmission corresponding to the packet P 2, the data can be detected in the packet P 1 and the packet P 2.
- a plurality of initial transmission packets are multiplexed and transmitted from the transmission device to the reception device, and data is detected while removing interference (other multiplexed packets) at the reception device.
- the transmitting apparatus transmits a retransmission packet to the receiving apparatus using the HARQ scheme.
- the transmitting device transmits retransmission packets corresponding to some of the packets to the receiving device.
- the receiving apparatus detects not only some packets but also other initial transmission packets that failed to be detected at the first time. Thereby, since the number of downlink retransmission packets can be suppressed, throughput can be improved.

符号間の直交性の崩れによる特性劣化を改善するための一手法が、特許文献2及び非特許文献1に記載されている。これらの従来技術では、下りリンクと上りリンクの違いはあるが、双方ともMC-CDM通信時のコード多重によるコード間干渉を取り除くため、誤り訂正後または逆拡散後のデータを用いて、所望コード以外の信号を除去している。そして、これにより、特性の改善を図っている。
しかしながら、干渉キャンセラを用いた繰返し処理を行ったとしても、シンボル間干渉(ISI)、キャリア間干渉(ICI)、コード間干渉(MCI)等の干渉が多い場合、干渉を除去しきれず、所望のデータを正常に復調することができず、誤りが生じる。
このため、送信装置と受信装置とが通信する際のスループットが低下するという問題があった。
図1は、本発明の第1の実施形態による通信方法を示すタイミングチャートである。まず、基地局(送信装置とも称する)が下りリンクを介して初送パケットであるパケットP1とパケットP2を多重して端末(受信装置とも称する)に送信する(ステップS101)。信号を受信した端末は、パケットP1とパケットP2が多重された受信信号を記憶し、干渉キャンセル処理とデータ検出処理を行う。
ここでは、パケットP1とパケットP2の両方のパケットにおいて誤りが生じた場合について説明する。端末はパケットP1とパケットP2のパケットにおいて誤りが生じたことを基地局に報告するための成否情報(NACK1、NACK2)を含む信号を生成する。そして、端末は、成否情報を上りリンクを介して基地局に送信する(ステップS102)。
このとき、一部のパケットの選び方として、下記のような方法を用いることができる。
(2) 重要度の高い(要求遅延が短い)情報を含むパケットを優先的に再送することにより、重要度の高いパケットの遅延時間を短くすることができる。
(3) インクリメンタルリダンダンシ(IR)の場合は、初送の符号化率が大きいパケットほど、再送パケット合成による符号化率の低下の度合いが大きい。そのため、初送の符号化率が大きいパケットを優先的に再送することにより、再送による符号化利得が大きくなり、効率的な再送を行うことができる。
(4) 再送回数に基づいて優先的に再送するパケットを選択する。例えば、再送回数の少ないパケットを優先的に再送することにより、平均的な遅延時間を短くすることができる。あるいは、再送回数の多いパケットを優先的に再送することにより、最大遅延時間を短くすることができる。
(5) パケット毎に受信品質が異なる場合、受信品質が悪い(受信電力が小さい)パケットを優先的に再送することにより、全体的に受信品質を向上することができる。
第2の実施形態では、受信側で繰り返し並列型MCIキャンセラを用いて、第1の実施形態で説明した処理を実行する場合について説明する。繰り返しMCIキャンセラは、受信側でMCIレプリカを生成し、受信信号から減算することでコード間干渉(MCI)を抑圧する。

さらに好ましくは、符号化部214からの出力である符号化ビットに適用するパンクチャパターンには、情報ビットを除去しないようなパターンを用いる。また、符号化ビット記憶部220からの出力である符号化ビットに適用するパンクチャパターンには、符号化部215からの出力である符号化ビットに適用するパンクチャパターンにおいて除去したビットを除去しないようなパターンを用いる。
なお、ここでは、必ずビット除去する場合について説明したが、必ずしもビットを除去しなくても良い。すなわち、ビットを除去しないようなパンクチャパターンを用いても良い。
コードチャネルレプリカ生成部311-1、・・・、311-Nはそれぞれ、シンボルレプリカ生成部316、拡散部317を備えている。
伝搬路推定部304では、分離部303において分離されたパイロット信号を用いて、送信装置200と受信装置300の間の伝搬路特性を推定し、伝搬路推定値を伝搬路推定値記憶部305と干渉キャンセラ310とに出力する。

また、干渉キャンセラ部310は、ビットLLR記憶部312からビットLLRが出力された場合は、受信信号記憶部308から出力される受信信号から当該ビットLLRと伝搬路推定値記憶部305の出力である伝搬路推定値とを用いて、情報ビットの検出を行う。なお、干渉キャンセラ部310の動作の詳細な例については後述する。
シンボルレプリカ生成部316から出力されたシンボルレプリカは、拡散部318において、拡散率分だけ複製され、各コードチャネルにおける拡散符号C1、・・・、CNが乗算され、コードチャネルレプリカ(データ信号レプリカ)が生成される。
多重部314は、成否情報信号生成部313の出力である成否情報信号と、上りリンクデータ信号とを多重して無線送信部315に出力する。出力された信号は無線送信部315(報告送信部とも称する)からアンテナ301を介して送信装置200へと送信される。
干渉キャンセラ部310は、伝搬路補償部401、デインターリーバ部402、コード分離部403、MCIレプリカ生成部404、減算部(干渉除去部とも称する)405を備えている。
コード分離部403は、逆拡散部406、復調部407、レートマッチ部408、合成部409、復号部(判定部とも称する)410を備えている。
なお、インターリーバ部502はインターリーバ部203(図2)と同様の処理を行うため、同様の回路で実現することができる。また、初回においては、MCIレプリカ生成部404はMCIレプリカを生成する必要はない。
伝搬路補償部401は、伝搬路推定部304(あるいは伝搬路推定値記憶部305)の出力である伝搬路推定値に基づいて、減算部405の出力に対して伝搬路補償を行い、デインターリーバ部402に出力する。具体的には、伝搬路補償部401は、伝搬路の影響で生じた位相回転を戻すような処理を行う。好ましくは、伝搬路補償部401は、伝搬路推定値からMRC(Maximum Ratio Combining:最大比合成)重みやORC(Orthogonal Restoring Combining:直交再生合成)重み、あるいはMMSE(Minimum Mean Squared Error:最小平均二乗誤差)重みを算出し、算出した重みを減算部405の出力に対して乗算する。
逆拡散部406は、拡散符号Ckを用いた逆拡散処理を行うことにより、Ckに対応するコードチャネルの信号を抽出し、逆拡散された信号を復調部407に出力する。
復調部407では、逆拡散部406からの出力信号である逆拡散された変調シンボル系列に対して復調処理を行い、ビット毎の信号を抽出し、レートマッチ部408に出力する。復調部407は、好ましくは、ビット毎の対数尤度比(LLR)を出力する。そのため、以下では復調部407における復調結果として、ビットLLR(ビット毎のLLR)が出力される場合について説明する。なお、伝搬路補償部401、復調部407、レートマッチ部408を、まとめて復調部と称することもある。
なお、この場合、シンボルレプリカ生成部316の処理としては、シンボルレプリカSr’を式(3)にて算出すれば良い。
なお、情報ビットの誤り検出は、例えば、送信側で情報ビットにCRC(Cyclic Redundancy Check:巡回冗長検査)を付加し、受信側で誤り検出を行えば良い。
受信装置300から送信された信号は、アンテナ209を介して無線受信部210(報告受信部とも称する)で受信され、分離部211に出力される。
分離部211は、受信信号に多重された上りリンクデータと成否情報とを分離する。
再送制御部212は、分離部211で上りリンクデータから分離された成否情報に基づいて、再送パケット(再送データ信号)を送信する準備を行う。成否情報が受信失敗を表す情報(NACK)であった場合、再送制御部212は符号化ビット記憶部218に対して、NACKを返されたパケットに対応する符号化ビット系列を出力するように指示する。また、レートマッチ部215に対して、符号化ビット記憶部218から出力された符号化ビット系列に対してレートマッチング処理を行うように指示する。
なお、多重するパケットの再送回数を示す情報としては、回数そのものを示す情報であることが好ましいが、単に初送か再送かを示す情報など、再送回数を加工した情報であっても良い。成否情報が受信成功を表す情報(ACK)であった場合、再送制御部212は、符号化ビット記憶部218に対して、ACKを返されたパケットに対応する符号化ビット系列を記憶した記憶領域を解放するように指示する。
(2) 重要度の高い(要求遅延が短い)情報を含むパケットを優先的に再送することにより、重要度の高いパケットの遅延時間を短くすることができる。これを実現するために、再送制御部212は、上位レイヤからの制御信号により、各パケットの重要度(要求遅延)を取得するようにする。
(3) インクリメンタルリダンダンシ(IR)の場合は、初送の符号化率が大きいパケットほど、再送パケット合成による符号化率の低下の度合いが大きい。そのため、初送の符号化率が大きいパケットを優先的に再送することにより、再送による符号化利得が大きくなり、効率的な再送を行うことができる。
(4) 再送回数に基づいて優先的に再送するパケットを選択する。例えば、再送回数の少ないパケットを優先的に再送することにより、平均的な遅延時間を短くすることができる。あるいは、再送回数の多いパケットを優先的に再送することにより、最大遅延時間を短くすることができる。
(5) パケット毎に受信品質が異なる場合、受信品質が悪い(受信電力が小さい)パケットを優先的に再送することにより、全体的に受信品質を向上することができる。これを実現するために、受信装置300において、各パケットの受信品質を測定し、上りリンクを介して測定結果を送信装置200に報告するようにする。
まず、再送パケットに対応する初送パケットを含む過去の受信信号を受信信号記憶部308から取得し(ステップS601)、伝搬路推定値記憶部305に記憶された当該受信信号受信時の伝搬路推定値を用いて、伝搬路補償部401で伝搬路補償を行う(ステップS602)。なお、伝搬路補償された受信信号を記憶しておいても良い。その場合、ここでの伝搬路補償は行わなくても良い。
以上、再送を1回行う場合について説明したが、これに限るものではなく、再送を複数回行うシステムにも本実施形態を適用することができる。
まず、基地局(送信装置)が下りリンクを介して初送パケットであるパケットP1~PNを多重して端末(受信装置)に送信する(ステップS201)。信号を受信した端末は、パケットP1~PNが多重された受信信号を記憶し、干渉キャンセル処理とデータ検出処理を行う。
ここでは、パケットP1~PNのすべてのパケットにおいて誤りが生じた場合について説明する。端末はパケットP1~PNのパケットにおいて誤りが生じたことを基地局に報告するための成否情報(NACK1~NACKN)を含む信号を生成し、上りリンクを介して基地局に送信する(ステップS202)。
下りリンク信号を受信した端末は、再送パケットPN+1の復調結果を記憶するとともに、パケットPN+1の復調結果と、記憶してあるパケットP1~PNが多重された受信信号とを用いて、干渉キャンセル処理とデータ検出処理を行う。ここでは、パケットP1~PNのすべてのパケットにおいて誤りが生じた場合について説明する。
下りリンク信号を受信した端末は、再送パケットPN+2の復調結果と、記憶してあるパケットPN+1の復調結果の結果とを合成する。その後、合成した結果と、記憶してあるパケットP1~PNが多重された受信信号とを用いて、干渉キャンセル処理とデータ検出処理を行う。ここでは、パケットP1~PNのすべてのパケットにおいて誤りが無い場合について説明する。端末はパケットP1~PNのパケットにおいて誤りが無いことを基地局に報告するための成否情報(ACK1~ACKN)を含む信号を生成し、上りリンクを介して基地局に送信する。
ACK1~ACKNを受信した基地局は、それ以降、パケットP1~PNに対応する再送を行う必要がなくなる。結果的に、パケットP1に対応するパケットPN+1およびパケットPN+2を再送することにより、パケットP1~PNにおける誤りを改善し、パケットP2~PNに対応する再送を行うことなく、パケットP1~PNにおけるデータ検出が可能となる。
まず、基地局が下りリンクを介して、初送パケットであるパケットP1~PNを多重して端末に送信する(ステップS301)。信号を受信した端末は、パケットP1~PNが多重された受信信号を記憶し、干渉キャンセル処理とデータ検出処理を行う。ここでは、パケットP1~PNのすべてのパケットにおいて誤りが生じた場合について説明する。端末はパケットP1~PNのパケットにおいて誤りが生じたことを基地局に報告するための成否情報(NACK1~NACKN)を含む信号を生成し、上りリンクを介して基地局に送信する(ステップS302)。
下りリンク信号を受信した端末は、再送パケットPN+1の復調結果を記憶するとともに、パケットPN+1の復調結果と、記憶してあるパケットP1~PNが多重された受信信号とを用いて、干渉キャンセル処理とデータ検出処理を行う。ここでは、パケットP1~PNのすべてのパケットにおいて誤りが生じた場合について説明する。すでに初送パケットに対する成否情報を、端末から基地局に報告しているため、必ずしも2度目以降の成否情報を送信しなくても良い。ここでは、2度目以降のNACK情報を送信しない場合について説明する。
下りリンク信号を受信した端末は、再送パケットPN+2の復調結果と、記憶してあるパケットPN+1と、記憶してあるパケットP1~PNが多重された受信信号とを用いて、干渉キャンセル処理とデータ検出処理を行う。ここでは、パケットP1~PNのすべてのパケットにおいて誤りが無い場合について説明する。
これにより、下りリンクの再送パケット数を抑制することができるため、スループットが向上する。
図9は、本発明の第3の実施形態による通信方法を示すタイミングチャートである。
まず、基地局(送信装置)が下りリンクを介して初送パケットであるパケットP1とパケットP2を多重して端末(受信装置)に送信する(ステップS401)。信号を受信した端末は、パケットP1とパケットP2が多重された受信信号を記憶し、干渉キャンセル処理とデータ検出処理を行う。なお、多重された他の信号が干渉成分となる。すなわち、パケットP1にとってはパケットP2が干渉成分であり、パケットP2にとってはパケットP1が干渉成分である。干渉キャンセル処理とは、受信信号から干渉信号を再生した信号(レプリカ)を用いて干渉成分を除去する処理である。干渉キャンセル処理では、例えばパケットP2を検出する際には、受信信号からパケットP1のレプリカを除去した信号を用いる。
このとき、一部のパケットの選び方として、下記のような方法を用いることができる。
(2) インクリメンタルリダンダンシ(IR)の場合は、初送の符号化率が大きいパケットほど、再送パケット合成による符号化率の低下の度合いが大きい。そのため、初送の符号化率が大きいパケットに関して優先的にNACKを返すことにより、再送による符号化利得が大きくなり、効率的な再送を行うことができる。
(3) 再送回数に基づいて優先的にNACKを返すパケットを選択する。例えば、再送回数の少ないパケットに関して優先的にNACKを返すことにより、平均的な遅延時間を短くすることができる。あるいは、再送回数の多いパケットに関して優先的にNACKを返すことにより、最大遅延時間を短くすることができる。
(4) パケット毎に受信品質が異なる場合、受信品質が悪い(受信電力が小さい)パケットに関して優先的にNACKを返すことにより、全体的に受信品質を向上することができる。
(5) 復号結果である符号化ビットLLRの値が小さいパケットに関して優先的にNACKを返すことにより、復号精度の劣悪なパケットの復号精度を向上することができる。
下りリンク信号を受信した端末は、再送パケットPN+1を復調し、パケットP3の復調結果と、記憶してあるパケットP1とパケットP2が多重された受信信号とを用いて、干渉キャンセル処理とデータ検出処理を行う。ここで、前述したように、干渉キャンセル処理では、多重された他のパケットのレプリカを除去することにより、検出精度を向上させる。一般にHARQ方式による再送を行うと、初送パケットのみを用いてデータ検出するより、初送パケットと再送パケットを合成した信号を用いてデータ検出する方が良好な検出精度を得ることができる。すなわち、再送パケットを合成することによって、初送の検出時よりパケットP1の検出精度が向上し、パケットP1のレプリカの精度の向上に伴って、パケットP2の検出精度も向上する。
すなわち、3種類の情報は、ACKとNACKと無送信である。データ検出に成功した場合はACKを選択して基地局に送信し、データ検出に失敗した場合はNACK送信と無送信とのいずれかを選択する。NACKはデータ検出に失敗し、かつ再送を要求するための信号である。また、無送信はデータ検出に失敗し、かつ再送を保留する要求を示す信号である。つまり、本実施形態では、データ検出に失敗し、かつ再送を保留する要求を示すものとして無送信を選択する場合について説明した。
第2の実施形態では、受信側で繰り返し並列型MCIキャンセラを用いて、第1の実施形態で説明した処理を行う場合について説明した。第4の実施形態では受信側で繰り返し並列型MCIキャンセラを用いて、第3の実施形態で説明した処理を行う場合について説明する。

図10に示す各ブロックは、再送制御部1012を除いて、図2に示した同名の各ブロックと同様の構成で実現することができる。
コードチャネルレプリカ生成部1111-1、・・・、1111-Nはそれぞれ、シンボルレプリカ生成部1116、拡散部1117を備えている。
図11に示す各ブロックは、受信パケット管理部1109を除いて、図3に示した同名の各ブロックと同様の構成で実現することができる。
以下では、第2の実施形態とは異なる機能を有する受信パケット管理部1109と再送制御部1012について説明する。
これに対し、第4の実施形態における受信パケット管理部1109(図11)は、分離部1103において分離された再送制御情報信号と、干渉キャンセラ部1110から出力される成否情報に基づいて、干渉キャンセラ部1110、ビットLLR記憶部1112、受信信号記憶部1108、伝搬路推定値記憶部1105に対して各種指示をする。また、第4の実施形態における受信パケット管理部1109は、成否情報からNACKを返すパケットを選択し、選択結果に基づいて、成否情報信号生成部1113に対して、成否情報信号の生成を指示する。
好ましくは、受信パケット管理部1109は、送信データの検出に成功したパケットに関しては、ACKを生成するように成否情報信号生成部1113に対して指示するようにすると良い。また、受信パケット管理部1109は、送信データの検出に失敗したパケットに関しては、その一部のパケットを選択し、選択したパケットに対するNACKを生成するように成否情報信号生成部1113に対して指示するようにすると良い。
このとき、一部のパケットの選び方として、下記のような方法を用いることができる。
(2) インクリメンタルリダンダンシ(IR)の場合は、初送の符号化率が大きいパケットほど、再送パケット合成による符号化率の低下の度合いが大きい。そのため、初送の符号化率が大きいパケットに関して優先的にNACKを返すことにより、再送による符号化利得が大きくなり、効率的な再送を行うことができる。
(3) 再送回数に基づいて優先的にNACKを返すパケットを選択する。例えば、再送回数の少ないパケットに関して優先的にNACKを返すことにより、平均的な遅延時間を短くすることができる。あるいは、再送回数の多いパケットに関して優先的にNACKを返すことにより、最大遅延時間を短くすることができる。
(4) パケット毎に受信品質が異なる場合、受信品質が悪い(受信電力が小さい)パケットに関して優先的にNACKを返すことにより、全体的に受信品質を向上することができる。これを実現するために、伝搬路推定部あるいは復調部の出力を受信パケット管理部1109に入力し、受信パケット管理部1109において各パケットの受信電力を測定するようにする。
(5) 復号結果である符号化ビットLLRの値が小さいパケットに関して優先的にNACKを返すことにより、復号精度の劣悪なパケットの復号精度を向上することができる。これを実現するために、符号化ビットLLRも受信パケット管理部1109に入力するようにする。
これに対し、第4の実施形態における再送制御部1012は、符号化ビット記憶部1018に対して、NACKを返されたパケットに対応する符号化ビット系列を出力するように指示する。このとき、NACKを返された全てのパケットを再送するように指示しても良いし、第2の実施形態と同様に一部のパケットを選択して、再送を行うように指示しても良い。
第2の実施形態では、受信側で繰り返し並列型MCIキャンセラを用いて、第1の実施形態で説明した処理を行う場合について説明した。第5の実施形態では、受信側で繰り返し逐次型MCIキャンセラを用いて、第1の実施形態で説明した処理を行う場合について説明する。なお、送信装置は、図2に示す送信装置200と同様の送信装置を用いることができるため、その説明を省略する。
なお、干渉キャンセラ部1210以外の各ブロックは図3に示した同名のブロックと同様のブロックを用いることができるため、以下では干渉キャンセラ部1210で行われる処理に関して説明する。
なお、説明の便宜上、同様の機能を持つ複数のブロックを重複して記載しているが、一つのブロックのみを備えるようにし、そのブロックの機能を複数回使用する構成にしても良い。
干渉キャンセラ部1210内の各ブロックは、図3に示した干渉キャンセラ部310内の同名の各ブロックと同様の処理を行う。また、コードチャネルレプリカ生成部1305-1、・・・、1305-Nは、受信装置300内のコードチャネルレプリカ生成部311と同様の処理を行う。そのため、ここでは干渉キャンセラ部1210の処理で、干渉キャンセラ部310の処理と異なる点について説明する。
なお、本実施形態では、第1の実施形態の処理を行う場合について説明したが、第4の実施形態のように、第2の実施形態の処理を行っても良い。
第2および第4の実施形態では、パケットが拡散符号によって多重され、MCIをキャンセラによって干渉を除去する場合について説明した。本実施形態では、パケットがMIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output:多入力多出力)を用いて空間多重され、他ストリームの信号を干渉キャンセラによって除去する場合に、第1の実施形態で説明した処理を行う場合ついて説明する。なお、干渉キャンセラとして、繰り返しSIC(Successive Interference Canceller:逐次型干渉キャンセラ)を用いる。
ストリーム信号生成部1401-1、・・・、1401-Nはそれぞれ、符号部1414、レートマッチ部1415、変調部1416、インターリーバ部1403、IFFT部1404、パイロット信号生成部1405、多重部1406、GI挿入部1407、無線送信部1408、符号化ビット記憶部1418を備えている。
変調部1416は、レートマッチ部1415から出力された符号化ビット(パンクチャド符号化ビット)系列に対して変調処理を行い、変調シンボル系列をインターリーバ部1403に出力する。このとき、変調部1416は、変調方式として、PSK、QAMなどを用いることができる。さらに好ましくは、変調部1416は、送信装置1400と受信装置1500との間の伝搬路に応じた変調方式を用いると良い。
IFFT部1404は、周波数方向に並べられた信号に対して、IFFT処理を行うことにより、時間領域の信号に変換し、多重部1406に出力する。
パイロット信号生成部1405は、受信装置において伝搬路推定に用いるためのパイロット信号を生成し、多重部1406に出力する。パイロット信号生成部1405は、好ましくは、ストリーム毎に直交したパイロット信号を生成する。
再送制御信号生成部1413は、再送制御部1412から通知される各ストリームのデータ信号の再送回数を受信装置に通知するための信号(再送制御信号)を生成し、多重部1406に出力する。なお、ここでは再送制御信号はストリーム信号生成部1401-1におけるストリームに多重されているが、これに限るものではない。いずれのストリーム(複数も可能)に多重されても良い。
多重部1406から出力された信号は、GI挿入部1407においてガードインターバルを付加され、無線送信部1408からアンテナ1409-1を介して受信装置300に送信される。他のストリーム信号生成部1401-2、・・・、1401-Nおよびアンテナ1409-2、・・・、1409-Nにおいても、ストリーム信号生成部1401-1およびアンテナ1409-1と同様の処理が行われる。
伝搬路推定部1505では、分離部1504において分離されたパイロット信号を用いて、送信装置1400の各アンテナ1409-1、・・・、1409-Nと受信装置1500のアンテナ1501との間の伝搬路特性を推定し、伝搬路推定値記憶部1506と干渉キャンセラ部1511に、伝搬路推定値を出力する。
伝搬路推定値記憶部1506は、伝搬路推定部1505の出力である伝搬路推定値を記憶する。
FFT部1508では、GI除去部1507の出力信号に対して、FFT処理を行うことにより、周波数領域の信号に変換し、受信信号記憶部1509と干渉キャンセラ部1511とに出力する。
受信信号記憶部1509は、FFT部1509の出力である周波数領域の信号を記憶する。
受信パケット管理部1510は、分離部1504において分離された再送制御情報信号と、干渉キャンセラ部1511から出力される成否情報とに基づいて、干渉キャンセラ部1511、ビットLLR記憶部1512、受信信号記憶部1509、伝搬路推定値記憶部1506に対して各種指示を出力する。また、受信パケット管理部1510は、成否情報信号生成部1513に対して、成否情報信号の生成を指示する。なお、受信パケット管理部1510の詳細な動作については後述する。
また、ビットLLR記憶部1512からビットLLRが出力された場合は、受信信号記憶部1509から出力される受信信号から当該ビットLLRと、伝搬路推定値記憶部1506の出力である伝搬路推定値とを用いて、情報ビットの検出を行う。なお、干渉キャンセラ部1511の動作の詳細な例については後述する。
多重部1514は、成否情報信号生成部1513の出力である成否情報信号と、上りリンクデータ信号とを多重して、無線送信部1515に出力する。出力された信号は、無線送信部1515(報告送信部とも称する)からアンテナ1501を介して送信装置1400へと送信される。
なお、ここでは上りリンクの信号を、アンテナ1501-1のみから送信する場合について説明するが、これに限るものではなく、複数のアンテナを用いて送信するようにしても良い。
ストリーム検出部1601-1は、MIMO分離部1605-1(ストリーム分離部とも称する)、デインターリーバ部1606-1、復調部1607-1、レートマッチ部1608-1、合成部1609-1、復号部1610-1を備えている。ストリーム検出部1601-2、・・・、1601-Nも、ストリーム検出部1601-2と同様に、MIMO分離部1605-2、・・・、1605-N、デインターリーバ部1606-2、・・・、1606-N、復調部1607-2、・・・、1607-N、レートマッチ部1608-2、・・・、1608-N、合成部1609-2、・・・、1609-N、復号部1610-2、・・・、1610-Nを備えている。
なお、初回においては、受信レプリカ生成部1602-1、・・・、1602-Nは、受信レプリカを生成する必要はない。また、繰り返し中における各シンボルレプリカは、最後に生成又は更新されたものを用いる。
MIMO分離部1605-1、・・・、1605-Nは、伝搬路推定部1505(あるいは伝搬路推定値記憶部1506)の出力である伝搬路推定値に基づいて、減算部1603-1、・・・、1603-Nの出力に対してMIMOストリーム分離を行い、デインターリーバ部1601-1、・・・、1601-Nに出力する。具体的には、MIMO分離部1605-1、・・・、1605-Nは、最尤推定によりストリームのデータ信号を再現する。あるいは、MIMO分離部1605-1、・・・、1605-Nは、減算部1603-1、・・・、1603-Nの出力に対するMMSE重みを算出し、算出した重みを減算部1603-1、・・・、1603-Nの出力に対して乗算するなどの分離方法を用いる。
復調部1607-1、・・・、1607-Nは、デインターリーバ部1606-1、・・・、1606-Nからの出力信号である変調シンボル系列に対して復調処理を行い、ビット毎の信号を抽出し、レートマッチ部1608-1、・・・、1608-Nに出力する。復調部1607-1、・・・、1607-Nは、好ましくは、ビット毎の対数尤度比(LLR)を出力する。なお、MIMO分離部、デインターリーバ部、復調部、レートマッチ部をまとめて復調部とも称する。
合成部1609-1、・・・、1609-Nから出力されたビットLLRは、復号部1610-1、・・・、1610-Nに入力される。また、再送パケットである場合は、出力されたビットLLRがビットLLR記憶部1412に送られる。
なお、MIMO分離部、デインターリーバ部、復調部、レートマッチ部、合成部をまとめて信号合成部とも称する。
受信装置1500から送信された信号は、アンテナ1409-1、・・・、1409-Nを介して、無線受信部1410(報告受信部とも称する)で受信される。なお、ここではアンテナ1409-1のみを介して受信する構成について説明するが、これに限るものではない。いずれのアンテナ(複数も可能)を介して信号を受信しても良い。
再送制御部1412は、分離部1411で上りリンクデータから分離された成否情報に基づいて、再送パケット(再送データ信号)を送信する準備を行う。成否情報が受信失敗を表す情報(NACK)であった場合、再送制御部1412は、符号化ビット記憶部1418に対して、NACKを返されたパケットに対応する符号化ビット系列を出力するように指示する。
このとき、一部のパケットの選び方として、下記のような方法を用いることができる。
(2) 重要度の高い(要求遅延が短い)情報を含むパケットを優先的に再送することにより、重要度の高いパケットの遅延時間を短くすることができる。
(3) インクリメンタルリダンダンシ(IR)の場合は、初送の符号化率が大きいパケットほど、再送パケット合成による符号化率の低下の度合いが大きい。そのため、初送の符号化率が大きいパケットを優先的に再送することにより、再送による符号化利得が大きくなり、効率的な再送を行うことができる。
(4) 再送回数に基づいて優先的に再送するパケットを選択する。例えば、再送回数の少ないパケットを優先的に再送することにより、平均的な遅延時間を短くすることができる。あるいは、再送回数の多いパケットを優先的に再送することにより、最大遅延時間を短くすることができる。
(5) パケット毎に受信品質が異なる場合、受信品質が悪い(受信電力が小さい)パケットを優先的に再送することにより、全体的に受信品質を向上することができる。
なお、多重するパケットの再送回数を示す情報は、回数そのものを示す情報であることが好ましいが、単に初送か再送かを示す情報など、再送回数を加工した情報であっても良い。成否情報が受信成功を表す情報(ACK)であった場合、再送制御部1412は、符号化ビット記憶部1418に対して、ACKを返されたパケットに対応する符号化ビット系列を記憶した記憶領域を解放するように指示する。
まず、再送パケットに対応する初送パケットを含む過去の受信信号を受信信号記憶部1409から取得する(ステップS1701)。次に、再送パケットに対応する初送パケットに関するループ(ループL5)におけるステップS1702~S1711)が実行される。さらにその繰り返し処理の中で、送信データの検出と、次の送信データを含むデータ信号における干渉の除去が繰り返し行われる(ループ(ループL6)におけるステップS1703~S1710))。初送パケットは、まず、伝搬路推定値記憶部1406に記憶された当該受信信号受信時の伝搬路推定値を用いて、MIMO分離部1704でMIMOストリーム分離が行われる(ステップS1704)。MIMO分離された信号は、デインターリーバ部1606での処理の後、復調部1607およびレートマッチ部1608において復調およびレートマッチング処理されて符号化ビットLLRが求められる(ステップS1705)。
ただし、ステップS1709におけるストリームレプリカのキャンセルは、過去の受信信号に含まれる再送パケットのレプリカもキャンセルすることが好ましい。
なお、本実施形態では、第1の実施形態の処理を行う場合について説明したが、第4の実施形態のように、第2の実施形態の処理を行っても良い。
これにより、下りリンクの再送パケット数を抑制することができるため、スループットが向上する。
この場合、初送パケットに比べて再送パケット送信時の伝搬路特性が良好であるか、あるいは再送パケットの方が低伝送レートで送信されるなど、再送パケットの送信データ検出精度が初送パケットに比べて良好であれば、効果が得られる。
