Description
(1)無線リンク同期判定(Radio Link Monitoring)
図17および図18は、従来用いられている無線リンク同期判定手順の一例を示したものである。移動局装置は、受信中の下りチャネルのいずれかの品質と閾値とを比較することで下り同期状態を管理する。
ここで、前記同期保護タイマが満了する前に下りチャネルの品質が回復した場合、移動局装置は下り同期状態を同期の回復待ちを行なう同期回復区間に遷移させる。同期回復区間に遷移後も一定回数連続して良好な品質が得られた場合、下り同期が回復したと判断し、状態を同期区間へ遷移させ、同期保護タイマを停止する。
図19は、Carrier Aggregationの一例を示した図である。Band1~Band3は、それぞれ基地局装置が送信する下りの周波数帯域(コンポーネントキャリア)を示しており、その送信帯域幅は例えば20MHzである。なお、Band1~Band3は連続した周波数帯域であっても、全てまたは一部が不連続となる周波数帯域であってもよい。例えば、使用可能な周波数帯域が800MHz帯域、2.4GHz帯域、3.4GHz帯域である場合、Band1が800MHz帯域、Band2が2GHz帯域、Band3が3.4GHz帯域のいずれか20MHzの下りコンポーネントキャリアで送信されていてもよい。
EUTRA及びAdvanced EUTRAで使用される物理チャネルは、物理報知情報チャネル、上りデータチャネル、下りデータチャネル、下り共用制御チャネル、上り共用制御チャネル、ランダムアクセスチャネル、同期シグナル、下りリファレンスシグナル、上りリファレンスシグナルなどがある。
なお、それ以外の物理チャネルは、本発明の各実施形態に関わらないため詳細な説明は省略する。
移動局装置は、Carrier Aggregationによって複数の周波数帯域(Band1~Band3)で同時に通信が可能である場合、ネットワーク構成としては、ある一つの基地局装置が複数の周波数帯域毎に送信装置(受信装置)を備えている場合(Band2~Band3)と、周波数帯域毎に一つの基地局装置が一つの送信装置(受信装置)を備えている場合(Band1)が考えられ、更にその両方が混在される場合があるが、いずれの構成であっても本実施の形態を実現する上で問題は無い。また、基地局装置は上位の制御局によって管理することも可能であるし、基地局装置間で協調制御を行うことによってCarrier Aggregtionを実現しても良い。
以上の事項を考慮しつつ、以下、本発明の実施の形態について具体的に説明する。
本発明の実施の形態1について以下に説明する。
本実施形態は、移動局装置が、下り同期誤りの検出に関し、受信するコンポーネントキャリアの数に関係なく下り同期状態を一つだけ管理する方法について示す。
図5は、本発明の実施の形態1による基地局装置の一例を示すブロック図である。本基地局装置100は、受信部101、復調部102、復号部103、上位レイヤ104、符号部105、変調部106、参照信号生成部107、多重部108、送信部109、制御部110から構成される。
図5において、その他の基地局装置100の構成要素は本実施の形態に関係ないため省略してある。
なお、受信部201の数は、当該移動局装置200が同時に受信可能な周波数帯域の数と同数を備える構成であっても良い。その場合、同時に使用されない受信部201が存在しても良い。また、符号部208と変調部209はコンポーネントキャリア毎に用意されても良い。送信部210の数は、当該移動局装置200が同時に送信可能な周波数帯域の数と同数を備える構成であっても良い。
図6において、その他の移動局装置200の構成要素は本実施の形態に関係ないため省略してある。
また、ネットワーク構成および周波数帯域の対応関係は、それぞれ図1と図2に示したものと同様のものを適用できる。
図7の例では、移動局装置200は各コンポーネントキャリア(DL_CC1、DL_CC2)の受信品質と閾値1(Qout)を個別に比較し、DL_CC1とDL_CC2が共に品質Bとなったときに下り同期誤りを判定する。
図8の例では、移動局装置200は各コンポーネントキャリア(DL_CC1、DL_CC2)の受信品質と閾値1(Qout)を個別に比較し、DL_CC1が品質Bとなったときに下り同期誤りを判定する。DL_CC2はDL_CC1が品質Bであるため、品質Aになっても下り同期状態の判定には影響しない。
図9の例では、移動局装置200は各コンポーネントキャリア(DL_CC1、DL_CC2)の受信品質と閾値1(Qout)を個別に比較し、DL_CC1が品質Bとなったときに下り同期誤りを判定する。また、下り同期外れと判定される前に別のコンポーネントキャリア(図9ではDL_CC2)が品質Bとなったときには、再び下り同期状態を誤り検出区間に遷移させる。
なお、移動局装置200は、Carrier Aggregation状態でない場合、従来の下り同期誤り判定をそのまま適用することが可能である。
実施の形態1では、移動局装置200が下り同期誤りの検出に関し、受信するコンポーネントキャリアに関係なく下り同期状態を一つだけ管理する方法について示した。しかしながら、移動局装置200は下り同期誤りを判定するために受信している全てコンポーネントキャリアの受信品質を判定し、その結果を総合的に判断する必要があった。そこで、実施の形態2に係わる移動局装置200は、ある一つのコンポーネントキャリアのみの受信品質に基づいて下り同期状態を管理する方法について示す。
本実施の形態に用いる基地局装置100は図5と同じで良い。また、移動局装置200は図6と同じでよい。また、ネットワーク構成および周波数帯域の対応関係は、それぞれ図1と図2に示したものと同様のものを適用できる。

実施の形態1または実施の形態2では、移動局装置200が下り同期誤りの検出に関し、受信するコンポーネントキャリアに関係なく下り同期状態を一つだけ管理する方法について示した。しかしながら、コンポーネントキャリアの伝播特性が大きく異なる場合、移動局装置200は下り同期状態をコンポーネントキャリア毎に複数管理する方が良い場合がありえる。そこで、実施の形態3では、移動局装置200がコンポーネントキャリア毎に下り同期状態を管理する方法について示す。
なお、移動局装置200は、Carrier Aggregation状態でない場合、従来の下り同期誤り判定をそのまま適用することが可能である。
基地局装置100は、前記セルIDと移動局装置IDから下り同期外れが発生することで中断されていた前記移動局装置宛のデータを判断し、前記中断していたデータ送信を前記移動局装置200に対して再開する。
本発明の実施の形態4について以下に説明する。
本実施形態では、移動局装置200が、下り同期回復の検出に関し、受信するコンポーネントキャリアの数に関係なく下り同期状態を一つだけ管理する方法について示す。実施の形態4は、実施の形態1または実施の形態2の下り同期誤り判定と組み合わせることが好適であるが、他の下り同期判定と組み合わせることも可能である。

なお、移動局装置200は、Carrier Aggregation状態でない場合、従来の下り同期回復判定を適用することが可能である。
本発明の実施の形態5について以下に説明する。
実施の形態4では、移動局装置200が下り同期回復の検出に関し、受信するコンポーネントキャリアに関係なく下り同期状態を一つだけ管理する方法について示した。しかしながら、移動局装置200は下り同期回復を判定するために受信している全てコンポーネントキャリアの受信品質を判定し、その結果を総合的に判断する必要があった。そこで、実施の形態5に係わる移動局装置200は、ある一つのコンポーネントキャリアのみの受信品質に基づいて下り同期状態を管理する方法について示す。実施の形態5は、実施の形態1または実施の形態2の下り同期誤り判定と組み合わせることが好適であるが、他の下り同期判定と組み合わせることも可能である。
本実施の形態に用いる基地局装置100は図5と同じで良い。また、移動局装置200は図6と同じでよい。また、ネットワーク構成および周波数帯域の対応関係は、それぞれ図1と図2に示したものと同様のものを適用できる。
図15の例では、移動局装置200はマスターコンポーネントキャリア(Master DL_CC)の受信品質と閾値2(Qin)を比較し、マスターコンポーネントキャリアが品質Dとなったときに下り同期回復を判定する。
なお、移動局装置200は、Carrier Aggregation状態でない場合、従来の下り同期誤り判定をそのまま適用することが可能である。
本発明の実施の形態6について以下に説明する。
実施の形態4または実施の形態5では、移動局装置200が下り同期回復の検出に関し、受信するコンポーネントキャリアに関係なく下り同期状態を一つだけ管理する方法について示した。しかしながら、コンポーネントキャリアの伝播特性が大きく異なる場合、移動局装置200は下り同期状態をコンポーネントキャリア毎に複数管理する方が良い場合がありえる。そこで、実施の形態6では、移動局装置200がコンポーネントキャリア毎に下り同期状態を管理する方法について示す。実施の形態6は、実施の形態3の下り同期誤り判定と組み合わせることが好適であるが、他の下り同期判定と組み合わせることも可能である。
