Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transmission power controlling method for establishing desired reception quality, while preventing increase in average transmission power, even when gain variations in propagation path in relatively short period occur. <P>SOLUTION: The transmission power is controlled so as to increase the capacity of a communication path, in response to gain variations of a propagation path, and data rate is controlled, in response to variations in increased capacity of the transmission path. The transmission power is determined so that the sum of noise power (equal to received noise power/gain of the propagation path) converted into a transmission end becomes a constant for increasing the capacity of the propagation path. As a result, the transmission power is controlled so as to decrease, when the gain of the propagation path is lowered and to be increased, when the gain of the propagation power increases in reverse to the conventional. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Description

The present invention relates to a method for controlling radio transmission power and channel data rate of a radio communication system, and is particularly suitable for application to a mobile communication system.

In a wireless communication system, a technique for controlling transmission power of a wireless communication device in order to obtain desired reception quality is known. For example, in USP5,267,262, Qualcomm Inc., "Transmitter Power Control System", in the CDMA mobile communication system, the signal reception power from the terminal is measured at the base station, and if it is smaller than the desired value, the transmission power is instructed to increase. In the case where the transmission power is large, a transmission power reduction instruction is transmitted to the mobile station, and the mobile station controls the transmission power in accordance with the transmission power control instruction, so that the reception power at the base station is kept substantially constant.
Also, according to USP 5,559,790, Hitachi Ltd., “Spread Spectrum Communication System and Transmission Power Control Method therefor”, the mobile station measures the reception quality of the pilot signal transmitted by the base station with known power, and based on the measurement result When the reception quality is poor, a transmission power control signal that requires a larger transmission power than when the reception quality is good is transmitted to the base station, and the base station transmits a signal to the mobile station based on the transmission power control signal. A technique is shown in which the transmission power is controlled to keep the signal reception quality from the base station in the mobile station substantially constant.
Each of these techniques aims to control the reception power and quality at the reception side to be constant. That is, according to the above-described conventional transmission power control method, reception quality is made constant, and degradation of reception quality due to propagation path gain fluctuations and unnecessary interference in the system due to excessive transmission power are prevented. be able to.

USP5,267,262

USP5,559,790

However, when there is fading that is a relatively short period propagation path gain fluctuation that occurs with the movement of a mobile station, using the conventional technique, when the propagation path gain decreases instantaneously, a very large transmission As a result, the average transmission power increases. An increase in average transmission power increases the mutual interference given to the entire system, which causes a problem of reducing the communication throughput of the entire system. Further, in the terminal, there is a problem that an increase in average transmission power increases power consumption and shortens a callable time.
Accordingly, a first object of the present invention is to provide a transmission power control method that achieves desired reception quality while preventing an increase in average transmission power even when a propagation gain variation of a relatively short period occurs. That is.
Further, when the average transmission power is not increased, the average reception power is decreased, and the capacity of the communication path is reduced due to the deterioration of the reception quality (SN ratio, SNR). That is, the maximum data rate that can be communicated is reduced. Therefore, the second object of the present invention is to keep the communication channel capacity as large as possible even when a propagation gain variation with a relatively short period occurs.
In addition, when the channel capacity per hour varies due to variations in propagation channel gain, there is a problem that the time required to communicate desired information varies and stable communication quality cannot be obtained. Accordingly, a third object of the present invention is to provide stable communication quality even when the communication path capacity per hour varies.

Means for solving the above-mentioned problems include means for measuring propagation path gain and reception quality and means for transmitting transmission power control information and reception quality information to the first wireless communication apparatus. Means for receiving the transmission power control information and the previous period reception quality information and means for controlling the transmission power and data rate, the second wireless communication device increases the data rate if the reception quality is good, and the reception quality is If it is not good, the data rate is controlled to decrease, and the transmission power of the second wireless communication device is increased when the channel gain increases, and is decreased when the channel gain decreases. It is characterized by providing a control means.

According to the present invention, required transmission power is reduced and mutual interference is reduced. Further, according to the present invention, the channel capacity is increased, and the bit rate capable of communication can be improved by adaptively using the increased channel capacity.

First, the power control algorithm of the present invention will be described.

FIG. 1 is a graph showing an example of time variation of propagation path gain. Consider the case where the channel gain fluctuates as shown in FIG. That is, consider a propagation path in which the average gain becomes 1 at times t1, t2, t3, and t4 and gains of 2, 1, 1/3, and 2/3, respectively.
FIG. 2 is a graph showing an example of a time change in noise power.
FIG. 3 is a graph showing an example of time variation of equivalent noise power at the transmission end. Assuming that constant noise is added at power 1 as shown in FIG. 2 on the receiving side, this means that power 1/2, 1, 3, 3 at time t1, t2, t3, and t4, respectively, as shown in FIG. Equivalent to adding / 2 noise. That is, the fluctuation of the propagation path gain can be equivalently regarded as the fluctuation of the noise power.

On the other hand, it is known that the capacity C of the communication path is theoretically C = W log2 (1 + S / N). Here, C is the number of bits that can be transmitted per second, W is the frequency bandwidth, S is the signal power, N is the noise power, and log2 (x) is the logarithm of x with 2 as the base. Therefore, the channel capacity in the time-varying propagation path as described above is C = Ave (W log2 (1 + S (t)), where signal power S (t) at time t and noise power N (t) / N (t))). Here, Ave (x) represents the time average of x. Therefore, when S (t) is changed with time by power control, the channel capacity changes. In the present invention, transmission power is controlled so as to increase the channel capacity as much as possible. Specifically, it is as follows.
Consider S (t) that maximizes the channel capacity C when the average transmission power, that is, the time average Ave (S (t)) of S (t) is constant. Since Ave (S (t)) is constant, if the transmission power at a certain time is increased, the transmission power at another time must be decreased. Here, since the rate of increase of C with respect to the slight increase of S is dC / dS = W / log (2) / (N + S) from the definition equation of the channel capacity, constant power is distributed in the time direction. Sometimes distributing transmission power where N + S is the smallest will increase the channel capacity. In this way, when the transmission power is sequentially distributed to the place where N + S is the smallest, when all the power is finally distributed, N + S is constant and N is higher than S + N achieved. S is not distributed at all in the time zone when is large, and this state has the largest channel capacity.
Here, if the noise power received by the receiver is a function of time Nr (t) and the propagation path gain is a function of time g (t), the equivalent noise power N (t) seen on the transmission side is
N (t) = Nr (t) / g (t)
It becomes. Therefore, the transmission power S (t) that maximizes the channel capacity is
N (t) + S (t) = Nr (t) / g (t) + S (t) = P_const.
This condition is satisfied. That is,
S (t) = P_const Nr (t) / g (t)
Control may be performed so that However, when S (t) <0, the actual transmission power is 0 (that is, transmission is stopped). If P_const is increased, average transmission power and channel capacity increase. Conversely, if P_const is reduced, the average transmission power and the channel capacity are reduced. Therefore, it is only necessary to determine P_const to a value that provides a desired communication path capacity.

FIG. 4 shows the concept of transmission power control. For example, when the average transmission power is 1 under the propagation path gain fluctuation shown in FIG. 1, the transmission power control result is as shown in FIG. In the figure, a portion surrounded by a thick line is signal power, and a portion surrounded by a thin line is noise power. That is, the transmission powers at times t1, t2, t3, and t4 are 11/6, 4/3, 0, and 5/6, respectively. Average transmission power is
(11/6 + 4/3 + 0 + 5/6) / 4 = 1
It has become.

FIG. 5 shows received power when the result of the transmission power control in FIG. 4 is viewed on the receiving side. At times t1, t2, t3, and t4, they become 11/3, 4/3, 0, and 5/9, respectively.
FIG. 6 is a comparative example in which control is performed so that the transmission power is proportional to the noise power in order to keep the reception power or reception quality constant. That is, the transmission powers at times t1, t2, t3, and t4 are 1/3, 2/3, 2, and 1, respectively. Average transmission power is
(1/3 + 2/3 + 2 + 1) / 4 = 1
It has become.

FIG. 7 is a graph showing an example of temporal change in received power according to the comparative example of FIG. The received power when the result of power distribution (transmission power control) in FIG. 6 is viewed on the receiving side is 2/3, 2/3, 2/3 at time t1, t2, t3, t4, respectively, as shown in FIG. , 2/3.
FIG. 8 compares transmission power control with respect to fluctuations in propagation path gain. The horizontal axis represents propagation path gain, and the vertical axis represents transmission power as a transmission power control result. In the figure, circles indicate the present invention, and diamonds indicate the prior art. In other words, in the conventional transmission power control, the channel gain and the transmission power are in an inversely proportional relationship, and when the channel gain decreases, the transmission power increases, whereas when the channel gain increases, the transmission power decreases. In the present invention, conversely, when the channel gain decreases, the transmission power is reduced, and when the channel gain increases, the transmission power is increased.
The channel capacity achieved by the transmission power control according to the present invention is
C = W (log2 (1 + 11/3) + log2 (1 + 4/3) + log2 (1 + 0) + log2 (1 + 5/9)) / 4
= 0.90W
It becomes. On the other hand, the channel capacity achieved by the conventional transmission power control is
C = W log2 (1 + 2/3) = 0.707W
It becomes.
Accordingly, in the example shown here, the channel capacity increases by 1.27 (= 0.90 / 0.707) times as compared with the conventional power control method according to the power control of the present invention. On the other hand, using the conventional transmission power control method, in order to achieve the same channel capacity as that when the present invention is applied, 0.90 = log2 (1 + 0.8661). N = 0.8661 is required, and an average transmission power of 1.30 (= 0.8661 / (2/3)) times S / N = 2/3 achieved by the conventional transmission power control is required. Therefore, according to the present invention, the transmission power for achieving the same channel capacity is reduced to 0.770 times that when the conventional technique is used.
The transmission power control algorithm that theoretically maximizes the channel capacity has been described above, but substantially the same effect can be obtained without strictly following the above algorithm. That is, it is possible to perform transmission power using a function that approximates the relationship between the propagation path gain and transmission power shown in FIG. It is desirable that the function has a positive slope as a whole. For example, even a simple function that makes the transmission power proportional to the channel gain can obtain substantially the same effect.
FIG. 9 is a graph showing a second example of propagation path gain fluctuation.
FIG. 10 is a graph showing a second example of transmission power control according to the present invention.
Algorithm for determining the transmission power
S (t) = P_const Nr (t) / g (t)
According to FIG. 9, when the propagation path gain increases stepwise at time t0 as shown in FIG. 9, the transmission power also changes stepwise as shown in FIG. 10 (a). Further, when a control delay occurs, it changes with a certain rise time as shown in FIG. 10 (b).
In the control of FIGS. 10 (a) and 10 (b), the channel capacity is large when the mobile station is located near the base station where the channel gain is large, and conversely the mobile station is located far from the base station. Sometimes the channel capacity becomes smaller. If this difference is undesirable in system design, for example
P_const = C0 Ave (Nr (t)) / Ave (g (t))
Thus, it is practical to control P_const relatively slowly using the average gain and noise power of the current channel condition. Here, C0 is a constant. As a result, the power control is applied to short-term fluctuations in the communication path while obtaining a substantially constant communication path capacity regardless of the distance from the base station.

  In this case, with respect to the propagation path gain fluctuation shown in FIG. 9, as shown in FIGS. 10 (c) and 10 (d), transmission power similar to that shown in FIGS. 10 (a) and 10 (b) is obtained in a short time. After that, the response gradually approaches the transmission power that cancels the propagation path gain variation as in the conventional power control.

According to the power control described above, the channel capacity varies with time. For this reason, when the channel capacity is above the average over a certain period of time, the bit rate is controlled to perform communication at a high bit rate. Conversely, when the channel capacity is below the average, communication is performed at a low bit rate. Preferably it is done.
In addition, it is not necessary to explicitly control the bit rate by matching the average time of Ave (Nr (t)) and Ave (g (t)) used for calculating P_const with the unit for channel coding. The average bit rate can be improved, which is suitable for a system that requires a constant bit rate.

  Hereinafter, a system and apparatus configuration for executing the above algorithm will be described.

  FIG. 30 shows the system configuration of the present invention. A plurality of mobile stations 3, 4, 5 communicate with the base stations 1, 2 via radio, and the base stations 1, 2 are controlled by the base station control station 6 between the mobile stations or in a fixed network Establish communication with the communication device to which it belongs.

  FIG. 11 shows the configuration of the receiving side wireless communication device of the present invention.

FIG. 12 shows a format diagram of a first example of a transmission signal multiplexing format of the transmitting side radio communication apparatus according to the present invention.
FIG. 13 shows the configuration of the transmission side wireless communication device of the present invention.
FIG. 14 shows a format diagram of an example of a transmission signal multiplexing format of the receiving side wireless communication device according to the present invention.
Here, the wireless communication device whose transmission power and data rate are controlled by the present invention is a transmission-side wireless communication device, and the other is a reception-side wireless communication device. In the system configuration shown in FIG. 30, either the mobile station or the base station may be any wireless communication device, and if the base station is a transmission-side wireless communication device, the transmission power and data rate of the downlink signal are controlled. Conversely, if the mobile station is a transmitting side wireless communication device, the transmission power and data rate of the uplink signal are controlled.
The signal received from the antenna in FIG. 11 is converted into a baseband signal by the radio frequency circuit 101. The baseband signal is subjected to demodulation processing such as detection by the demodulator 102 and error-corrected by the channel decoder 121 for each coding unit.
When decoding by the channel decoder 121, decoding is performed without waiting for accumulation of all the data for the encoding unit by decoding the shortage data on the assumption that a signal with zero power is received. In the process of accumulating data for encoding units, decoding is performed as needed. The result of error correction performed by the channel decoder 121 is input to the reception quality determination unit 140, where an error is detected by the error detection unit 115, and the presence or absence of an error is created as reception quality information. On the other hand, the baseband signal is input to the power signal generation unit 105 to generate a transmission power control signal according to the power control algorithm. The reception bedroom information and the transmission power control signal include a third pilot signal generated by the third pilot signal generation unit 130, and a data signal subjected to channel coding by the error correction encoder 106 and the interleaver 107. Multiplexed by the multiplexer 109. The multiplexed signal has a format as shown in FIG. 14, for example. 303 is a data signal, 304 is a power control signal, 305 is a third pilot signal, and 306 is a reception quality information signal. In the figure, the horizontal direction represents time and the vertical direction represents a code used for code division. The data is multiplexed by a multiplexing method such as code division multiplexing. The multiplexed signal is modulated by the modulator 110 and sent to the radio propagation path via the radio frequency circuit 101.
The signal transmitted from the receiving wireless communication device is received by the transmitting wireless communication device shown in FIG. Operations of 101, 102, 103, and 104 are the same as those of the reception-side wireless communication device. The transmission power control unit 111 extracts the power control signal 304, and calculates transmission power according to the extracted transmission power control signal 304. The reception quality signal extraction unit 141 extracts the previous period reception quality information signal 306 and notifies the data rate control means 142 of the presence / absence of the error detected by the error detection unit 115. In the data rate control means 142, the transmission data encoded by the channel encoding unit 122 is accumulated for each encoding unit, and based on the information on the presence / absence of an error notified from the reception quality signal extracting unit 141. The data for changing the data rate and adding the data for identifying the coding unit are added to the multiplexing unit 112 and output.
FIG. 31 shows an example of a processing flow performed by the data rate control means 142. In the processing flow of FIG. 31, the data rate control means 142 divides the encoded transmission data into a plurality of blocks for each coding unit and transmits each block, and terminates the transmission when no error is notified. . If no error is notified, the block next to the previously transmitted block is transmitted, and if no error is notified even after the transmission of all blocks is completed, transmission is repeated from the first block again. As a result, the transmission data output from the data rate control means has a necessary and sufficient data rate in accordance with the changing channel capacity. The transmission data output from the data rate control means 142 is multiplexed by the multiplexer 112 with the second pilot signal generated by the second pilot signal generation means 108 and input to the transmission power variable means 113. The transmission power varying means 113 varies the signal amplitude so that the transmission power specified by the transmission power control unit 111 is obtained. The output of the transmission power varying means 113 is multiplexed by the multiplexer 115 with the first pilot signal set to a predetermined power by the first pilot signal generating means 114, and has the form as shown in FIG. Signal.
In FIG. 12, 301 is a first pilot signal, 302 is a second pilot signal, and 303 is a data signal.
As shown in FIG. 12, various multiplexing formats are possible. The first pilot signal 301 (P0) is transmitted with a predetermined power without being subjected to power control by the transmission power control unit 111. On the other hand, the second pilot signal 302 is transmitted together with the data signal 303 under the power control. The signal multiplexed in the format of FIG. 12 is modulated by the modulator 110 and sent to the radio propagation path via the radio frequency circuit 101.
FIG. 15 is a block diagram showing a first configuration example of the transmission power control signal generation unit according to the present invention.
FIG. 16 is a block diagram showing a first configuration example of the transmission power control unit according to the present invention.

The transmission power signal generation unit 105 in the reception-side wireless communication device and the transmission power generation unit 111 in the transmission-side wireless communication device are configured, for example, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, respectively. The transmission power signal generator in FIG. 15 separates the first pilot signal and the second pilot signal by the first pilot signal separation unit 201 and the second pilot signal separation unit 205, respectively, and the S (t) = P_const Nr (t) / g (t)
In
P_const = C0 Ave (Nr (t)) / Ave (g (t))
The comparator 211 determines whether the current transmission power is large or small with respect to the transmission power to be, and when the transmission power is large, a transmission power control signal 304 instructing a decrease in transmission power and a transmission power increase when the transmission power is small. Generate. Accordingly, the transmission power control unit in FIG. 16 extracts the previous transmission power control signal 304, and increases or decreases the current transmission power according to the transmission power control signal. In FIG. 15, the noise power is obtained from the second pilot signal, but can also be obtained from the first pilot signal (dotted line).
FIG. 17 shows a block diagram of a second configuration example of the encoder with a data rate control function according to the present invention.
FIG. 18 shows a block diagram of a second configuration example of the decoder with a data rate control function according to the present invention.

  In the above embodiment, when the channel capacity is above the average over a certain period of time as described above, the bit rate is controlled to perform communication at an average high bit rate, and conversely, the channel capacity is below the average. In this case, it is preferable to perform communication at a low bit rate on average. For this purpose, instead of the channel encoder 122 in FIG. 13 and the channel decoder 121 in FIG. 11, the data rate is changed in response to the data rate instruction as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, respectively. It is only necessary to multiplex and transmit the data rate information specifying the data rate to the data signal, and to perform the channel decoding process in accordance with the rate information in the channel decoder 121.

FIG. 19 shows an example of the configuration of the transmission power control unit 105. In the figure, a function calculation unit 214 calculates a function f (x) whose output increases as the input signal increases. Thereby, when the propagation path gain increases from the average value, a transmission power control signal instructing an increase in transmission power is generated.
FIG. 20 is a simplified configuration example when it can be assumed that the noise power is constant regardless of time.
21 to 29 are diagrams showing another modification of the present invention.

It is possible to obtain the transmission power control signal and obtain S (t) by the transmission power control unit shown in FIG. More simply, the configuration of FIG. 24 can be used instead of FIG. 22, and the configuration of FIG. 25 can be used instead of FIG.
