本実施の形態では、実施の形態1で説明した図1の送信装置を具備する通信装置と、実施の形態1で説明した図19の受信装置を具備する通信装置と、その通信装置間の通信の流れの一例について説明する。
実施の形態1では、主に、図1の送信装置が、ユーザー#pに対し、複数の変調信号を送信する際、複数の変調信号を生成するにあたって、プリコーディング後の、少なくとも一つの変調信号に対し、位相変更部305B(図3、図4参照)において位相変更を行う例について説明した。本実施の形態3では、図1の送信装置が、位相変更部305Bにおいて、「位相変更を行う、位相変更を行わない」を制御信号300により切り替える処理について説明する。また、本実施の形態3では、図1の送信装置が信号を送信する際に、通信相手から受信した情報に基づいて、信号の送信方式を変更する処理について説明する。
基地局(AP)は少なくとも一つの変調信号に対し、位相変更を行う。そして、複数の変調信号を複数のアンテナを用いて送信することになる。
基地局(AP)は、複数のストリームの変調信号(ベースバンド信号)に対し、プリコーディング(重み付け合成)を行い、生成された複数の変調信号を複数のアンテナを用いて送信することになる。ただし、プリコーディング部(重み付け合成部)は、プリコーディングを行わなくてもよい。
・基地局(AP)が少なくとも一つの変調信号に対し、位相変更を行い、複数の変調信号(複数のストリームを含む複数の変調信号)を複数のアンテナを用いて送信した場合に、端末#pは、この変調信号を受信し、復調することができる、ということを意味している。つまり、端末#pは、位相変更を考慮した復調を行うことができ、データを得ることができるということを意味している。なお、少なくとも一つの変調信号に対し、位相変更を行い、複数の変調信号を複数のアンテナを用いて送信する送信方法については、既に実施の形態において説明したとおりである。
・基地局(AP)が少なくとも一つの変調信号に対し、位相変更を行い、複数の変調信号(複数のストリームを含む複数の変調信号)を複数のアンテナを用いて送信した際、端末#pは、この変調信号を受信しても、復調することができない、ということを意味している。つまり、端末#pは、位相変更を考慮した復調を行うことができないことを意味している。なお、少なくとも一つの変調信号に対し、位相変更を行い、複数の変調信号を複数のアンテナを用いて送信する送信方法については、既に実施の形態において説明したとおりである。
基地局(AP)は、端末#pに送信する複数のストリームの変調信号(ベースバンド信号)に対し、プリコーディング(重み付け合成)を行い、生成された複数の変調信号を複数のアンテナを用いて送信することになる。このとき、位相変更は施さないものとする。ただし、既に説明したようにプリコーディング部(重み付け合成部)は、プリコーディングを行わなくてもよい。
基地局(AP)は、端末#pに送信する複数の変調信号のうち、少なくとも一つの変調信号に対し、位相変更を行う。そして、基地局(AP)は、端末#pに対し、複数の変調信号を複数のアンテナを用いて送信することになる。
・基地局(AP)が、端末#pに対し複数のストリームを伝送するために、端末#p宛の複数の変調信号を複数のアンテナから送信する際、端末#pは、基地局が送信した端末#p宛の複数の変調信号を受信し、復調することができる、ということを意味している。
・基地局が、端末#pに対し複数のストリームを伝送するために端末#p宛の複数の変調信号を複数アンテナで送信する送信方法として、複数の送信方法を定義している場合、端末は、いずれの送信方法で基地局が変調信号を送信しても復調することができない。
・端末#pが「通信方式#B」のみサポートしている場合、データ3001を「10」と設定する。データ3001を「10」と設定した場合、基地局(AP)が、「通信方式#A」の変調信号を送信しても、端末#pは、復調し、データを得ることができない。
・端末#pが「通信方式#A」と「通信方式#B」の両者をサポートしている場合、データ3001を「11」と設定する。
・端末#pが「OFDM方式などのマルチキャリア方式」のみサポートしている場合、データ3002を「10」と設定する。データ3002を「10」と設定した場合、基地局(AP)が、「シングルキャリア方式」の変調信号を送信しても、端末#pは、復調し、データを得ることができない。
・端末#pが「シングルキャリア方式」と「OFDM方式などのマルチキャリア方式」の両者をサポートしている場合、データ3002を「11」と設定する。
・端末#pが「誤り訂正符号化方式#D」のみサポートしている場合、データ3003を「10」と設定する。データ3003を「10」と設定した場合、基地局(AP)が、「誤り訂正符号化方式#C」を用い、変調信号を生成し、送信しても、端末#pは、復調・復号し、データを得ることができない。
・端末#pが「誤り訂正符号化方式#C」と「誤り訂正符号化方式#D」の両者をサポートしている場合、データ3003を「11」と設定する。
端末#pが、データ3001を「01」(つまり、「通信方式#A」をサポートしている)として送信した場合、このデータを得た基地局(AP)は、「通信方式#A」では、「誤り訂正符号化方式#D」を選択できないため、データ3003が無効であると判断する。そして、基地局(AP)は、端末#p宛の変調信号を生成する際、「誤り訂正符号化方式#C」を用いて、誤り訂正符号化を行うことになる。
端末#pが、データ3001を「01」(つまり、「通信方式#A」をサポートしている)として送信した場合、このデータを得た基地局(AP)は、「通信方式#A」では、「複数のストリームを含む複数の変調信号を複数のアンテナを用いて送信する方式」をサポートしていないため、データ2801、および、データ2901が無効であると判断する。そして、基地局(AP)は、端末宛の変調信号を生成する際、1つのストリームの変調信号を生成し、送信することになる。
[制約条件1]
「通信方式#B」において、シングルキャリア方式では、「複数のストリームを含む複数の変調信号を複数のアンテナを用いて送信する方式」において、「複数の変調信号のうち、少なくとも一つの変調信号に対し、位相変更を行う」方式をサポートしていない(他の方式をサポートしていてもよい)、かつ、OFDM方式などのマルチキャリア方式において、少なくとも「複数の変調信号のうち、少なくとも一つの変調信号に対し、位相変更を行う」方式をサポートしているものとするものとする(他の方式をサポートしていてもよい)。
端末#pが、データ3002を「01」(つまり、シングルキャリア方式のみに対応している)として送信した場合、このデータを得た基地局(AP)は、データ2801が無効であると判断する。そして、基地局(AP)は、端末#p宛の変調信号を生成する際、「複数の変調信号のうち、少なくとも一つの変調信号に対し、位相変更を行う」方式を用いることはない。
実施の形態1、実施の形態2、実施の形態3では、図1のユーザー#p用信号処理部102_p(pは1以上M以下の整数)において、複数のストリームを含む複数の変調信号を生成する場合、1つのストリームの変調信号を生成する場合のいずれであってもよいことを説明した。本実施の形態4では、このときのユーザー#p用信号処理部102_pの構成の別の一例について説明する。
式(1)から式(42)では、i(シンボル番号)の関数の式が含まれる。そして、図12から図17を用いて、シンボルを時間軸方向に配置してもよいし、周波数軸方向に配置してもよいし、時間・周波数軸方向に配置してもよいことを説明した。したがって、式(1)から式(42)において、iの関数として説明した式を、時間の関数と解釈してもよいし、周波数の関数と解釈してもよいし、時間・周波数の関数と解釈してもよいことになる。
本実施の形態では、実施の形態3で説明した例を用い、端末の動作例を説明する。図34は、図24の基地局の通信相手である端末#pの構成の一例を示す図である。端末#pは、送信装置3403、受信装置3404および制御信号生成部3408を有する。

実施の形態1、実施の形態2、実施の形態3などの実施の形態において、図2の信号処理部206の構成の例について説明した。以下では、図3、図4、図26とは異なる図2の信号処理部206の構成の例について説明する。図38は、図2における信号処理部206の構成の更に別の一例を示す図である。なお、図38において、図3と同様に動作するものについては、同一番号を付しており、説明を省略する。
本実施の形態では、位相変更部の配置について説明する。上述した、図3、図26では、位相変更部が重み付け合成部303の出力側(以下、適宜、重み付け合成部303の後段と言う)に配置される構成を示した。また、図38、図39では、位相変更部が重み付け合成部303の入力側(以下、適宜、重み付け合成部303の前段と言う)に配置される構成を示した。位相変更部は、重み付け合成部303の前段と後段の両方に配置されてもよい。本実施の形態では、位相変更部が重み付け合成部303の前段と後段に配置される例について説明を行う。
本明細書において、図1のユーザー#p用信号処理部102_pの構成の例として、図2に示した構成例を説明した。本実施の形態では、図1のユーザー#p用信号処理部102_pの構成として、図2とは異なる構成について説明を行う。
本明細書において、図2の信号処理部206に関連する図3、図26、図38、図39、図40から図48などにおいて、位相変更部305A、および/または、位相変更部305Bにおいて、位相変更を行うことを説明している。このとき、位相変更部205Aの位相変更の周期をNAとした場合、NAは3以上の整数、つまり、送信ストリーム数または送信変調信号数2より大きな整数とすると、通信相手の受信装置が良好なデータの受信品質を得る可能性が高い。同様に、位相変更部205Bの位相変更の周期をNBとした場合、NBは3以上の整数、つまり、送信ストリーム数または送信変調信号数2より大きな整数とすると、通信相手の受信装置が良好なデータの受信品質を得る可能性が高い。
本実施の形態では、図3、図26、図38、図39、図40から図48などにより、位相変更部305A、305B、3801A、3801Bで位相変更を行うことを説明したが、そのときの送信状態の例、受信状態の例について説明する。そして、一例として、図3の動作について説明する。
上述のように、図19に示した受信装置は、位相変更が行われた結果、受信時の信号点配置が変化する受信信号を受信する。以下では、図19の受信装置の動作の補足説明を行う。送信装置が図3、図26等に示した構成、つまり、重み付け合成部の後段に位相変更部が配置される構成を有し、変調信号を生成、送信した場合について説明する。
本実施の形態では、例えば、基地局、アクセスポイント、放送局等の送信装置の構成である図1とは異なる送信装置の構成について説明する。
本明細書において、基地局またはAPの送信装置がシングルストリームの変調信号を送信した際、基地局またはAPの通信相手である端末#pの受信装置の構成の一例として、図35を示しているが、シングルストリームの変調信号を受信する端末#pの構成は図35に限ったものではなく、例えば、端末#pの受信装置が複数の受信アンテナを具備する構成であってもよい。例えば、図19において、変調信号u2のチャネル推定部1905_2、1907_2が動作しない場合、1つの変調信号に対してのチャネル推定部が動作することになるので、このような構成であっても、シングルストリームの変調信号の受信を行うことができる。
本実施の形態では、実施の形態3、実施の形態5等で説明した、端末#pの動作の別の実施方法について説明する。
第1の例として、端末#pの受信装置の構成が図19に示した構成であり、例えば、端末#pの受信装置は、以下のサポートをしているものとする。
・実施の形態3で説明した「通信方式#A」および「通信方式#B」の例えば受信をサポートしている。
・「通信方式#B」における、通信相手が、端末#pに対し、複数ストリームの変調信号を送信しても、端末#pは、その受信をサポートしている。また、「通信方式#A」および「通信方式#B」における、通信相手が、端末#pに対し、シングルストリームの変調信号を送信しても、端末#pは、その受信をサポートしている。
・そして、通信相手が、端末#pに対し、複数ストリームの変調信号を送信する際に位相変更を施した場合、端末#pは、その受信をサポートしている。
・シングルキャリア方式、OFDM方式をサポートしている。
・誤り訂正符号化方式として、「誤り訂正符号化方式#C」の復号、および、「誤り訂正符号化方式#D」の復号をサポートしている。

・実施の形態3で説明した「通信方式#A」、および、「通信方式#B」の例えば受信をサポートしている。
・通信相手が、端末#pに対し、複数ストリームの変調信号を送信しても、端末#pは、その受信をサポートしていない。
・よって、通信相手が、端末#pに対し、複数ストリームの変調信号を送信する際に位相変更を施した場合、端末#pは、その受信をサポートしていない。
・シングルキャリア方式、OFDM方式をサポートしている。
・誤り訂正符号化方式として、「誤り訂正符号化方式#C」の復号、および、「誤り訂正符号化方式#D」の復号をサポートしている。

・「通信方式#B」における、通信相手が、端末#pに対し、複数ストリームの変調信号を送信しても、端末#pは、その受信をサポートしている。また、「通信方式#A」および「通信方式#B」における、通信相手が、端末#pに対し、シングルストリームの変調信号を送信しても、端末#pは、その受信をサポートしている。
・そして、通信相手が、端末#pに対し、複数ストリームの変調信号を送信する際に位相変更を施した場合、端末#pは、その受信をサポートしている。
・シングルキャリア方式、OFDM方式をサポートしている。
・誤り訂正符号化方式として、「誤り訂正符号化方式#C」の復号、および、「誤り訂正符号化方式#D」の復号をサポートしている。
・上述で説明した「プリコーディング方法#A」の受信をサポートしている。つまり、第3の例では、上述で説明した「プリコーディング方法#B」の受信をサポートしていない。
第4の例として、端末#pの受信装置の構成が図19に示した構成であり、例えば、端末#pの受信装置は、以下のサポートをしているものとする。
・実施の形態3で説明した「通信方式#A」および「通信方式#B」の例えば受信をサポートしている。
・「通信方式#B」における、通信相手が、端末#pに対し、複数ストリームの変調信号を送信しても、端末#pは、その受信をサポートしている。また、「通信方式#A」および「通信方式#B」における、通信相手が、端末#pに対し、シングルストリームの変調信号を送信しても、端末#pは、その受信をサポートしている。
・シングルキャリア方式をサポートしている。なお、シングルキャリア方式では、通信相手である基地局は、「複数ストリームの変調信号の際に位相変更を施す」ことをサポートせず、また、「プリコーディングを施す」ことをサポートしないものとする。
・したがって、通信相手が、端末#pに対し、複数ストリームの変調信号を送信する際に位相変更を施した場合、端末#pは、その受信をサポートしていない。
・誤り訂正符号化方式として、「誤り訂正符号化方式#C」の復号、および、「誤り訂正符号化方式#D」の復号をサポートしている。

第5の例として、端末#pの受信装置が図35に示した構成であり、例えば、端末#pの受信装置は、以下をサポートしているものとする。
・実施の形態3で説明した「通信方式#A」の例えば受信をサポートしている。
・したがって、通信相手が、端末#pに対し、複数ストリームの変調信号を送信しても、端末#pは、その受信をサポートしていない。
・よって、通信相手が、端末#pに対し、複数ストリームのための変調信号を送信する際に位相変更を施した場合、端末#pは、その受信をサポートしていない。
・さらに、通信相手が「プリコーディング方法#A」を用いて生成した複数ストリームのための変調信号を送信しても、端末#pは、その受信をサポートしていない。また、通信相手が「プリコーディング方法#B」を用いて生成した複数ストリームのための変調信号を送信しても、端末#pは、その受信をサポートしていない。
・シングルキャリア方式のみサポートしている。
・誤り訂正符号化方式として、「誤り訂正符号化方式#C」の復号のみサポートしている。
