本揭露係有關於裝置及方法。 The disclosure relates to apparatus and methods.
現在,在3GPP(Third Generation Partnership Project)中,為了收容爆發性增加的流量,用來提升蜂巢網系統容量所需之各種技術,正被研討。甚至可以說,將來會需要現在的1000倍左右之容量。就MU-MIMO(Multi-User Multiple-Input Multiple-Output)及CoMP(Coordinated Multipoint)等之技術而言,被認為蜂巢網系統之容量只能夠增加數倍左右。因此,需要有劃時代的手法。 Now, in the 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project), various technologies required to increase the capacity of the cellular network system are being studied in order to accommodate explosively increased traffic. It can even be said that in the future, it will require about 1000 times the capacity. In terms of technologies such as MU-MIMO (Multi-User Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) and CoMP (Coordinated Multipoint), it is considered that the capacity of the cellular network system can only be increased by several times. Therefore, there needs to be an epoch-making approach.
例如,作為用來使蜂巢網系統之容量大幅增加的手法,考慮使用含有多數之天線元件(例如100個左右之天線元件)的指向性天線而由基地台進行波束成形。此種技術,係為被稱作大規模(Large-Scale)MIMO、或巨量(Massive)MIMO的技術之一形態。若依據此種波束成形,則波束之半值幅會變窄。亦即,會形成尖銳的波束。又,藉由在平面上配置上記多數天線元件,也有可能 形成朝所望之3維方向的波束。 For example, as a method for greatly increasing the capacity of a cellular network system, it is conceivable to perform beamforming by a base station using a directional antenna including a plurality of antenna elements (for example, about 100 antenna elements). Such a technique is one of technologies called Large-Scale MIMO or Massive MIMO. According to such beamforming, the half value of the beam will be narrowed. That is, a sharp beam is formed. Also, by arranging a plurality of antenna elements on a plane, it is also possible Form a beam in the desired three-dimensional direction.
例如,專利文獻1~3中係揭露,往3維方向的指向性波束被使用時所被適用的技術。 For example, Patent Documents 1 to 3 disclose techniques to which a directional beam in a three-dimensional direction is used.

可是,例如,同時間所被形成之指向性波束(例如大規模MIMO之指向性波束)之數量是呈現動態地變化的情況下,每個指向性波束所被分配的功率也會動態地變化,可能導致終端裝置的ACG(Automatic Gain Control)無法追隨。其結果為,收訊品質可能會降低。 However, for example, in the case where the number of directional beams (for example, directional beams of massive MIMO) formed at the same time is dynamically changed, the power allocated to each directional beam also dynamically changes. It may cause the ACG (Automatic Gain Control) of the terminal device to fail to follow. As a result, the quality of the reception may be degraded.

首先,參照圖1~圖6,說明本揭露之實施形態所關連之技術、及涉及本實施形態的技術課題。 First, the technique related to the embodiment of the present disclosure and the technical subject of the present embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 6 .
參照圖1~圖4,作為本揭露之實施形態所關連之技術,說明波束成形、測定(measurements)、蜂巢網之選 擇、及有關於CSR的波束成形。 Referring to Figures 1 to 4, beam forming, measurement, and selection of a hive network will be described as a technique associated with an embodiment of the present disclosure. Select and have beamforming for CSR.
現在,在3GPP中,為了收容爆發性增加的流量,用來提升蜂巢網系統容量所需之各種技術,正被研討。甚至可以說,將來會需要現在的1000倍左右之容量。就MU-MIMO及CoMP等之技術而言,被認為蜂巢網系統之容量只能夠增加數倍左右。因此,需要有劃時代的手法。 Now, in 3GPP, in order to accommodate explosively increased traffic, various technologies required to increase the capacity of the cellular network system are being studied. It can even be said that in the future, it will require about 1000 times the capacity. In terms of technologies such as MU-MIMO and CoMP, it is considered that the capacity of the cellular network system can only be increased by several times. Therefore, there needs to be an epoch-making approach.
3GPP的發佈版10中,係把eNodeB搭載8根天線這件事情予以規格化。因此,若依據該當天線,則在SU-MIMO(Single-User Multi-Input Multiple-Input Multiple-Output)的情況下可以實現8層的MIMO。所謂8層的MIMO,係為將獨立的8個串流予以空間性多工的技術。又,也可對4使用者實現2層的MU-MIMO。 In the release 10 of 3GPP, the eNodeB is equipped with eight antennas. Therefore, according to the antenna, 8-layer MIMO can be realized in the case of SU-MIMO (Single-User Multi-Input Multiple-Input Multiple-Output). The so-called 8-layer MIMO is a technique for spatially multiplexing eight independent streams. Furthermore, it is also possible to implement two layers of MU-MIMO for four users.
在UE(User Equipment)上,由於天線配置所需空間較小,以及UE的處理能力有限等原因,難以增加UE之天線的天線元件。可是,隨著近年來的天線實裝技術之進步,將含有100個左右之天線元件的指向性天線配置在eNodeB,也並不是不可能。 On the User Equipment (UE), it is difficult to increase the antenna elements of the antenna of the UE due to the small space required for the antenna configuration and the limited processing capability of the UE. However, with the advancement of antenna mounting technology in recent years, it is not impossible to arrange a directional antenna including 100 antenna elements on the eNodeB.
例如,作為用來使蜂巢網系統之容量大幅增加的手法,考慮使用含有多數之天線元件(例如100個左右之天線元件)的指向性天線而由基地台進行波束成形。此種技術,係為被稱作大規模(Large-Scale)MIMO、或 巨量(Massive)MIMO的技術之一形態。若依據此種波束成形,則波束之半值幅會變窄。亦即,會形成尖銳的波束。又,藉由在平面上配置上記多數天線元件,也有可能形成朝所望之3維方向的波束。例如,藉由形成朝向比基地台還高位置(例如高層大樓之上樓層)的波束,向存在於該當位置的終端裝置發送訊號,係被提出。 For example, as a method for greatly increasing the capacity of a cellular network system, it is conceivable to perform beamforming by a base station using a directional antenna including a plurality of antenna elements (for example, about 100 antenna elements). This technology is called Large-Scale MIMO, or One form of Massive MIMO technology. According to such beamforming, the half value of the beam will be narrowed. That is, a sharp beam is formed. Further, by arranging a plurality of antenna elements on a plane, it is also possible to form a beam in a desired three-dimensional direction. For example, by forming a beam toward a higher position than the base station (for example, a floor above the high-rise building), a signal is transmitted to the terminal device existing at the current location, which is proposed.
在典型的波束成形中,可在水平方向上改變波束之方向。因此,該當典型的波束成形,係也可說是2維波束成形。另一方面,在大規模MIMO(或巨量MIMO)之波束成形中,除了水平方向就連垂直方向上也能改變波束之方向。因此,大規模MIMO的波束成形,係也可說是3維波束成形。 In typical beamforming, the direction of the beam can be changed in the horizontal direction. Therefore, typical beamforming is also known as 2-dimensional beamforming. On the other hand, in the beamforming of massive MIMO (or massive MIMO), the direction of the beam can be changed in the vertical direction except for the horizontal direction. Therefore, beamforming of large-scale MIMO can also be said to be 3-dimensional beamforming.
此外,由於天線根數增加,因此MU-MIMO時的使用者數也可增加。此種技術,係為被稱作大規模MIMO、或巨量MIMO的技術的另一形態。此外,UE的天線數是2根時,關於1個UE的空間性獨立之串流的數目係為2條,因此與其增加關於1個UE的串流數,不如增加MU-MIMO的使用者數,反而比較合理。 In addition, since the number of antennas increases, the number of users in MU-MIMO can also increase. Such a technique is another form of technology called massive MIMO or massive MIMO. In addition, when the number of antennas of the UE is two, the number of spatially independent streams for one UE is two. Therefore, instead of increasing the number of streams for one UE, it is better to increase the number of users of MU-MIMO. It is more reasonable.
波束成形用的權重集合(亦即複數天線元件所需之權重係數的集合),係以複數(complex number)的方式來表現。以下,參照圖1,特別說明大規模MIMO之波束成形用的權重集合之例子。 The set of weights for beamforming (i.e., the set of weighting coefficients required for a plurality of antenna elements) is represented in a complex number. Hereinafter, an example of a weight set for beamforming of large-scale MIMO will be specifically described with reference to FIG. 1.
圖1係用來說明大規模MIMO之波束成形用的權重集合的說明圖。參照圖1,圖示了被配置成格子狀的天線元件。又,天線元件所被配置之平面上的正交之2個軸x、y,及正交於該當平面的1個軸z係也被圖示。此處,應形成之波束的方向,係以例如角度phi(希臘字母)及角度theta(希臘字母)來表示。角度phi(希臘字母),係波束方向之中的xy平面之成分與x軸所夾的角度。又,角度theta(希臘字母),係波束方向與z軸所夾的角度。此情況下,例如,在x軸方向上被配置成第m個,在y軸方向上被配置成第n個的天線元件的權重係數Vm,n,係可表示如下。 FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a weight set for beamforming of massive MIMO. Referring to Fig. 1, an antenna element arranged in a lattice shape is illustrated. Further, two axes x and y orthogonal to each other on the plane in which the antenna elements are arranged, and one axis z which is orthogonal to the plane are also illustrated. Here, the direction of the beam to be formed is expressed by, for example, an angle phi (Greek alphabet) and an angle theta (Greek alphabet). The angle phi (Greek letter) is the angle between the component of the xy plane in the beam direction and the x-axis. Also, the angle theta (Greek letter) is the angle between the beam direction and the z-axis. In this case, for example, the weight coefficient V m,n of the antenna elements arranged in the x-axis direction and the n-th antenna element in the y-axis direction can be expressed as follows.
f係為頻率,c係為光速。又,j係為複數(complex number)中的虛數單位。又,dx係x軸方向上的天線元件之間隔,dy係y軸方向上的天線元件間之間隔。此外,天線元件的座標,可表示如下。 f is the frequency and c is the speed of light. Also, j is an imaginary unit in a complex number. Further, d x is an interval between antenna elements in the x-axis direction, and d y is an interval between antenna elements in the y-axis direction. Further, the coordinates of the antenna element can be expressed as follows.
【數2】x=(m-1)d x ,y=(n-1)d y [Number 2] x = ( m -1) d x , y = ( n -1) d y
此外,典型的波束成形(2維波束成形)用的權重集合係可分解成:用來形成朝向所望水平方向之波束 所需之權重集合、和用來調整天線間之相位所需之權重集合。因此,大規模MIMO的波束成形用的權重集合係可被分解成:用來形成朝向所望垂直方向之波束所需之第1權重集合、和用來形成朝向所望水平方向之波束所需之第2權重集合、和用來調整天線間之相位所需之第3權重集合。 In addition, the weight set for typical beamforming (2-dimensional beamforming) can be decomposed into: used to form a beam that is oriented in the desired horizontal direction. The set of weights required, and the set of weights needed to adjust the phase between the antennas. Therefore, the weighting set for beamforming of large-scale MIMO can be decomposed into: a first weight set required to form a beam in a desired vertical direction, and a second weight required to form a beam in a desired horizontal direction. A set of weights, and a third set of weights needed to adjust the phase between the antennas.
大規模MIMO之波束成形被進行時,增益會達到10dB以上。在採用上記波束成形的蜂巢網系統中,相較於先前的蜂巢網系統,電波環境的變化可能更為劇烈。 When beamforming for large-scale MIMO is performed, the gain will reach 10 dB or more. In the cellular network system using the beamforming described above, the variation of the radio wave environment may be more severe than in the previous cellular network system.
例如,考慮由都市部的基地台來形成朝向高層大樓之波束。又,即使在郊外,也考慮由小型蜂巢網之基地台來形成朝向該當基地台之周邊區域的波束。此外,郊外的巨集蜂巢網之基地台係很有可能不進行大規模MIMO之波束成形。 For example, consider forming a beam toward a high-rise building by a base station of the metropolitan area. Further, even in the suburbs, it is considered that a base station of a small honeycomb network forms a beam toward a peripheral area of the base station. In addition, the base station system of the giant honeycomb network in the suburbs is likely to not perform beamforming for large-scale MIMO.
圖2係用來說明大規模MIMO之波束成形被進行之案例之一例的說明圖。參照圖2,圖示了基地台71及高層大樓73。例如,基地台71,係除了形成往地上的指向性波束75、77以外,還會形成往高層大樓73的指向性波束79。 Fig. 2 is an explanatory diagram for explaining an example of a case where beamforming of large-scale MIMO is performed. Referring to Fig. 2, a base station 71 and a high-rise building 73 are illustrated. For example, the base station 71 forms a directional beam 79 to the high-rise building 73 in addition to the directional beams 75, 77 that are formed on the ground.
在LTE(Long Term Evolution)中,終端裝置係會針對由基地台所發送的CRS(Cell-specific Reference Signal),進行測定。具體而言,終端裝置係藉由基地台所發送之CRS的收訊,以進行該當基地台與該當終端裝置之間的傳播路徑之品質的測定。此測定係被稱為「RRM(Radio Resource Management)測定」,或簡稱為「測定(measurements)」。 In LTE (Long Term Evolution), a terminal device performs measurement on a CRS (Cell-specific Reference Signal) transmitted by a base station. Specifically, the terminal device performs the measurement of the quality of the propagation path between the base station and the terminal device by the reception of the CRS transmitted by the base station. This measurement is referred to as "RRM (Radio Resource Management) measurement" or simply as "measurements".
上記測定之結果係被使用於,用來選擇終端裝置所需之蜂巢網。具體而言,例如,上記測定之結果係被使用於,RRC(Radio Resource Control)怠轉(RRC Idle)的終端裝置所致之蜂巢網選擇(Cell Selection)/蜂巢網重新選擇(cell reselection)。又,例如,上記測定之結果,係被RRC連接(RRC Connected)的終端裝置向基地台進行報告,被使用於該當基地台所致之接手決定(Handover Decision)。 The results of the above measurements are used to select the honeycomb network required for the terminal device. Specifically, for example, the result of the above measurement is used for Cell Selection/cell reselection by the RRC (Radio Resource Control) RRC Idle terminal device. Further, for example, the result of the measurement described above is reported by the RRC Connected terminal device to the base station, and is used for the handover decision by the base station.
如上述,上記測定,係藉由CRS之收訊而被進行。CRS,係為用來測定無指向性之電波之傳輸路徑的品質所需之訊號,因此不做波束成形就被發送。亦即,CRS,係不被乘算波束成形用的權重集合就被發送。 As described above, the above measurement is performed by the reception of the CRS. The CRS is a signal required to measure the quality of the transmission path of the non-directional radio wave, and thus is transmitted without beamforming. That is, the CRS is transmitted without being subjected to multiplicative beamforming.
此外,還有一種被稱為DM-RS(Demodulation Reference Signal)或UE固有參考訊號(UE specific Reference Signal)的解調用的參考訊號。 該當解調用的參考訊號,係會被乘算波束成形用的權重集合,因此不適合用於測定無指向性之電波之傳輸路徑的品質。又,還有一種稱為CSI-RS(Channel State Information Reference Signal)的參考訊號。CSI-RS,係和CRS同樣地,不做波束成形就被發送。可是,CSI-RS之送訊頻繁度較低,因此CSI-RS之收訊所致之測定會需要耗費較長時間。以下,參照圖3來說明權重係數之乘算與參考訊號之插入(或對映)的關係。 In addition, there is a reference signal for demodulation called a DM-RS (Demodulation Reference Signal) or a UE specific reference signal (UE specific reference signal). The reference signal for demodulation is multiplied by the weight set for beamforming, and thus is not suitable for measuring the quality of the transmission path of the non-directional radio wave. Also, there is a reference signal called CSI-RS (Channel State Information Reference Signal). The CSI-RS, like the CRS, is transmitted without beamforming. However, the frequency of CSI-RS transmission is low, so the measurement caused by the reception of CSI-RS will take a long time. Hereinafter, the relationship between the multiplication of the weight coefficients and the insertion (or entropy) of the reference signal will be described with reference to FIG.
圖3係用來說明權重係數之乘算與參考訊號之插入之關係的說明圖。參照圖3,各天線元件81所對應之送訊訊號82,係於乘算器84被複數乘算(Complex Multiplication)權重係數83。然後,已被複數乘算了權重係數83的送訊訊號82,係從天線元件81被發送。又,DR-MS85,係被插入在乘算器84之前,於乘算器84中被複數乘算權重係數83。然後,已被複數乘算了權重係數83的DR-MS85,係從天線元件81被發送。另一方面,CRS86(及CSI-RS),係被插入在乘算器84之後。然後,CRS86(及CSI-RS),係不被乘算權重係數83,就從天線元件81被發送。 Fig. 3 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the relationship between the multiplication of the weight coefficient and the insertion of the reference signal. Referring to FIG. 3, the signal 82 corresponding to each antenna element 81 is multiplied by a complex multiplication coefficient 83 by the multiplier 84. Then, the transmission signal 82, which has been multiplied by the weight coefficient 83, is transmitted from the antenna element 81. Further, the DR-MS 85 is inserted before the multiplier 84, and is multiplied by the weighting coefficient 83 in the multiplier 84. Then, the DR-MS 85, which has been multiplied by the weight coefficient 83, is transmitted from the antenna element 81. On the other hand, CRS86 (and CSI-RS) is inserted after the multiplier 84. Then, the CRS 86 (and CSI-RS) is transmitted from the antenna element 81 without being multiplied by the weight coefficient 83.
在LTE中,關於CRS之測定,係為RSRP(Reference Signal Received Power)及/或RSRQ(Reference Signal Received Quality)之測定。換言之, 終端裝置,作為有關CRS之測定之結果,係取得RSRP及/或RSRQ。RSRQ,係從RSRP和RSSI(Received Signal Strength Indicator)而被算出。 In LTE, the measurement of CRS is measurement of RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power) and/or RSRQ (Reference Signal Received Quality). In other words, The terminal device obtains RSRP and/or RSRQ as a result of measurement of the CRS. RSRQ is calculated from RSRP and RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator).
RSRP,係為每個單一資源元素的CRS之收訊功率。亦即,RSRP係為CRS之收訊功率的平均值。CRS之收訊功率,係藉由CRS之資源元素中的收訊訊號與既知訊號也就是CRS之相關性的偵測而獲得。RSRP,係對應於所望訊號「S(Signal)」。 RSRP is the received power of the CRS for each single resource element. That is, RSRP is the average of the received power of the CRS. The receiving power of the CRS is obtained by detecting the correlation between the received signal in the resource element of the CRS and the known signal, that is, the CRS. RSRP corresponds to the desired signal "S(Signal)".
RSSI,係為每OFDMA(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access)符元的訊號之總功率。因此,RSSI係含有所望訊號、干擾訊號及雜訊。亦即,RSSI係對應於「S(Signal)+I(Interference)+N(Noise)」。 RSSI is the total power of the signal per OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) symbol. Therefore, the RSSI contains the desired signal, interference signal and noise. That is, the RSSI system corresponds to "S(Signal) + I(Interference) + N (Noise)".
RSRQ係為RSRP/(RSSI/N)。N係為RSSI之算出時所被使用的資源區塊之數目。該當資源區塊,係朝頻率方向排列的資源區塊。因此,RSRQ係為,藉由將RSRP除以每1個資源區塊的RSSI所得的值。亦即,RSRQ係對應於SINR(Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio)。 The RSRQ is RSRP/(RSSI/N). N is the number of resource blocks used in the calculation of RSSI. The resource block is a resource block arranged in the frequency direction. Therefore, the RSRQ is a value obtained by dividing the RSRP by the RSSI of each resource block. That is, the RSRQ corresponds to the SINR (Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio).
如以上所述,藉由關於CRS之測定,可獲得收訊功率(亦即RSRP)、和像是SINR的收訊品質(亦即RSRQ)。 As described above, by measuring the CRS, the reception power (i.e., RSRP) and the reception quality such as the SINR (i.e., RSRQ) can be obtained.
此外,在後述的蜂巢網之選擇中,收訊品質(亦即RSRQ)會被經常使用。這是由於,若僅基於收訊 功率(亦即RSRP)來選擇蜂巢網,則,可能會選擇伴隨較大干擾的蜂巢網。 In addition, the reception quality (ie, RSRQ) is frequently used in the selection of the hive network described later. This is because, based solely on the reception Power (also known as RSRP) to select the hive network, then may choose the hive network with large interference.
為了取得RSRP及RSRQ,係必須要跨越從數毫秒到數十毫秒而接收訊號,進行收訊功率之平均化。這是因為,若僅藉由1時槽或1子集合之平均化來取得RSRP及RPRQ,則很容易受到衰減等頻道之瞬間變動的影響。 In order to obtain RSRP and RSRQ, it is necessary to receive signals from several milliseconds to tens of milliseconds to average the received power. This is because if RSRP and RPRQ are obtained by averaging only one time slot or one sub-set, it is easily affected by instantaneous changes in channels such as attenuation.
此外,上記平均化之手法,係被實作於每台終端裝置,在規格中沒有具體的制定。 In addition, the method of averaging is implemented in each terminal device, and there is no specific formulation in the specifications.
例如,終端裝置係在處於RRC怠轉(RRC Idle)時,進行蜂巢網選擇(Cell Selection)/蜂巢網重新選擇(cell reselection)。亦即,終端裝置係選擇用來進行通訊所需之蜂巢網(例如傳呼之收訊所需之蜂巢網)。 For example, the terminal device performs cell selection/cell reselection when it is in RRC idle (RRC Idle). That is, the terminal device selects a cellular network (for example, a cellular network required for paging reception) required for communication.
又,例如,基地台係進行接手決定(Handover Decision)。亦即,基地台係選擇終端裝置所需之目標蜂巢網,決定從終端裝置所需之伺服蜂巢網往上記目標蜂巢網之接手。 Also, for example, the base station system performs a Handover Decision. That is, the base station selects the target cellular network required by the terminal device, and decides to take over the target cellular network from the servo cellular network required by the terminal device.
又,例如,基地台係進行載波聚合的Scell(Secondary Cell)之追加。該當Scell,係也被稱為SCC(Secondary Component Carrier)。 Further, for example, the base station adds an Scell (Secondary Cell) that performs carrier aggregation. The Scell is also called SCC (Secondary Component Carrier).
此外,此處的「蜂巢網」,係可意味著基地台之通訊區域、或也可意味著基地台所使用的頻帶。又,此處的「蜂巢網」,係亦可為載波聚合的Pcell(Primary Cell)或Scell。上記Pcell係也被稱為PCC(Primary Component Carrier),上記Scell係也被稱為SCC(Secondary Component Carrier)。 In addition, the "honeycomb network" herein may mean a communication area of a base station or a frequency band used by a base station. In addition, the "honeycomb network" here may also be a Pcell (Primary Cell) or an Scell of carrier aggregation. The above-mentioned Pcell system is also called PCC (Primary Component Carrier), and the above-mentioned Scell system is also called SCC (Secondary Component Carrier).
如上述,被稱為大規模MIMO或巨量MIMO的技術之一形態中,基地台係使用含有多數之天線元件(例如100個左右之天線元件)的指向性天線,來進行波束成形。此情況下,基地台係不僅在水平方向就連垂直方向上也能改變波束之方向。因此,作為一例,基地台,係藉由形成朝向比基地台還高位置(例如高層大樓之上樓層)的波束,就可提升較高位置的吞吐率。作為另一例子,小型的基地台,係藉由形成指向附近區域之波束,就可減少與相鄰基地台之間的干擾。 As described above, in one aspect of a technique called massive MIMO or massive MIMO, the base station performs beamforming using a directional antenna including a plurality of antenna elements (for example, about 100 antenna elements). In this case, the base station can change the direction of the beam not only in the horizontal direction but also in the vertical direction. Therefore, as an example, the base station can increase the throughput rate at a higher position by forming a beam that is oriented higher than the base station (for example, the upper floor of the high-rise building). As another example, a small base station can reduce interference with adjacent base stations by forming a beam directed to a nearby area.
此處,在大規模MIMO之波束成形所致之訊號之收送訊變成主流的情況下,根據關於CRS之測定之結果來進行蜂巢網之選擇是否為佳,會產生如此疑問。 Here, in the case where the reception of the signal due to the beamforming of the large-scale MIMO becomes mainstream, whether or not the selection of the cellular network is performed based on the result of the measurement of the CRS is likely to occur.
具體而言,由關於CRS之測定所能得知的,係僅止於無指向性之電波之傳輸路徑的品質。可是,無指向性之電波的傳輸路徑,係和藉由大規模MIMO之波束成形所形成的尖銳之波束的傳輸路徑,完全不同。因此,若 以該當波束成形所致之訊號之收送訊為前提的情況下,則根據關於CRS之測定之結果所做的蜂巢網之選擇,有可能並未選擇到適切的蜂巢網。 Specifically, it can be known from the measurement of the CRS that it is only the quality of the transmission path of the radio wave having no directivity. However, the transmission path of the non-directional radio wave is completely different from the transmission path of the sharp beam formed by beamforming of large-scale MIMO. Therefore, if In the case where the signal transmission by the beamforming is premised, the selection of the honeycomb network based on the result of the measurement of the CRS may not select an appropriate cellular network.
作為一例,若基於CRS之測定之結果所被選擇的蜂巢網中終端裝置收送訊號,則有可能會比來自相鄰基地台之尖銳波束產生更大的干擾。作為另一例子,即使針對某蜂巢網的CRS之測定之結果,是比針對另一蜂巢網的CRS之測定之結果還好,在波束成形被進行時,仍有可能上記另一蜂巢網中的通訊品質反而比上記某蜂巢網中的通訊品質還要良好。 As an example, if the terminal device in the cellular network selected based on the result of the CRS measurement transmits a signal, there is a possibility that interference is generated more than a sharp beam from an adjacent base station. As another example, even if the result of the measurement of the CRS for a certain honeycomb network is better than the result of the measurement of the CRS for another honeycomb network, when beamforming is performed, it is still possible to write up another honeycomb network. The quality of communication is better than the communication quality in a certain hive network.
如以上所述,波束成形被進行時,有可能無法為了終端裝置而選擇適切的蜂巢網。 As described above, when beamforming is performed, there is a possibility that an appropriate honeycomb network cannot be selected for the terminal device.
如上述,例如,考慮大規模MIMO之波束成形,係由都市部的基地台或小型蜂巢網的基地台所進行。因此,這些基地台的蜂巢網之選擇若是基於關於CRS之測定而進行,則並不理想。 As described above, for example, beamforming in consideration of massive MIMO is performed by a base station of the metropolitan area or a base station of a small cellular network. Therefore, the selection of the honeycomb network of these base stations is not ideal based on the measurement of the CRS.
通常,CRS,係藉由無指向性之電波而被發送,因此有關於CRS之測定的結果(收訊功率/收訊品質),係與藉由指向性波束而被發送之資料訊號的收訊功率/收訊品質,可能會有很大的不同。為了解決這點,考慮將CRS 以指向性波束來發送。以下針對這點,參照圖4來說明具體例。 Usually, the CRS is transmitted by the non-directional radio wave, so the result of the measurement of the CRS (receiving power/receiving quality) is the reception of the data signal transmitted by the directional beam. Power/receiving quality may vary greatly. In order to solve this, consider putting CRS Sent by a directional beam. Hereinafter, a specific example will be described with reference to Fig. 4 .
圖4係用來說明權重係數之乘算與參考訊號之插入的其他關係的說明圖。參照圖4,各天線元件91所對應之送訊訊號92,係於乘算器94被複數乘算(Complex Multiplication)權重係數93。然後,已被複數乘算了權重係數93的送訊訊號92,係從天線元件91被發送。又,DR-MS95,係被插入在乘算器94之前,於乘算器94中被複數乘算權重係數93。然後,已被複數乘算了權重係數93的DR-MS95,係從天線元件91被發送。然後,CRS96,係被插入在乘算器94之前,於乘算器94中被複數乘算權重係數93。然後,被複數乘算了權重係數93的CRS96,係從天線元件91被發送。另一方面,通常的CRS97(及CSI-RS),係被插入在乘算器94之後。然後,通常的CRS97(及CSI-RS),係不被乘算權重係數93,就從天線元件91被發送。 Fig. 4 is an explanatory diagram for explaining other relationships between the multiplication of the weight coefficients and the insertion of the reference signal. Referring to FIG. 4, the signal 92 corresponding to each antenna element 91 is multiplied by a complex multiplication coefficient 93 by the multiplier 94. Then, the transmission signal 92, which has been multiplied by the weight coefficient 93, is transmitted from the antenna element 91. Further, the DR-MS 95 is inserted before the multiplier 94, and is multiplied by the weighting coefficient 93 in the multiplier 94. Then, the DR-MS 95, which has been multiplied by the weight coefficient 93, is transmitted from the antenna element 91. Then, the CRS 96 is inserted before the multiplier 94, and is multiplied by the weighting coefficient 93 in the multiplier 94. Then, the CRS 96 multiplied by the weight coefficient 93 is transmitted from the antenna element 91. On the other hand, the usual CRS97 (and CSI-RS) is inserted after the multiplier 94. Then, the normal CRS 97 (and CSI-RS) is transmitted from the antenna element 91 without being multiplied by the weight coefficient 93.
接著,參照圖5及圖6,說明本實施形態所述之技術課題。 Next, the technical problem described in the present embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 5 and 6 .
例如,同時間所被形成之指向性波束(例如大規模MIMO之指向性波束)之數量是呈現動態地變化的情況下,每個指向性波束所被分配的功率也會動態地變化,可能導致終端裝置的ACG(Automatic Gain Control)無法追隨。其結果為,收訊品質可能會降低。以下針對這點,參照圖5及圖6來說明具體例。 For example, in the case where the number of directional beams (for example, directional beams of massive MIMO) formed at the same time is dynamically changed, the power allocated to each directional beam also dynamically changes, possibly resulting in ACG (Automatic Gain) for terminal devices Control) can't follow. As a result, the quality of the reception may be degraded. Hereinafter, a specific example will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6 .
圖5係用來說明在各子訊框內所被形成之指向性波束之數量之例子的說明圖。參照圖5,圖示了有關於頻帶(例如分量載波)的3個子訊框31、33、35。例如,在子訊框31內,於上記頻帶中,150個指向性波束係被形成。又,在子訊框33內,於上記頻帶中,15個指向性波束係被形成,在子訊框35內,於上記頻帶中,60個指向性波束係被形成。由於基地台的送訊功率係有上限,因此在子訊框內所被形成之指向性波束越多,則各指向性波束所被分配之功率就會越小,在子訊框內所被形成之指向性波束越少,則各指向性波束所被分配之功率就會越大。因此,例如,在子訊框33內所被形成之指向性波束之數量,係為在子訊框31內所被形成之指向性波束之數量的1/10,因此在子訊框33內所被形成之指向性波束所被分配之功率,係變大10dB。其結果為,終端裝置中的收訊功率也會變大。又,例如,在子訊框35內所被形成之指向性波束之數量,係為在子訊框33內所被形成之指向性波束之數量的4倍,因此在子訊框33內所被形成之指向性波束所被分配之功率,係變小6.02dB。其結果為,終端裝置中的收訊功率也會變小。 Fig. 5 is an explanatory diagram for explaining an example of the number of directional beams formed in each sub-frame. Referring to Figure 5, three sub-frames 31, 33, 35 relating to frequency bands (e.g., component carriers) are illustrated. For example, in the sub-frame 31, 150 directional beam systems are formed in the upper frequency band. Further, in the sub-frame 33, 15 directional beam systems are formed in the upper frequency band, and in the sub-frame 35, 60 directional beam systems are formed in the upper frequency band. Since the base station's transmission power has an upper limit, the more directional beams are formed in the sub-frame, the smaller the power allocated to each directional beam is, and is formed in the sub-frame. The less the directional beam, the greater the power allocated to each directional beam. Therefore, for example, the number of directional beams formed in the sub-frame 33 is 1/10 of the number of directional beams formed in the sub-frame 31, and thus is within the sub-frame 33. The power to which the directional beam is formed is increased by 10 dB. As a result, the reception power in the terminal device also becomes large. Moreover, for example, the number of directional beams formed in the sub-frame 35 is four times the number of directional beams formed in the sub-frame 33, and thus is within the sub-frame 33. The power to which the directional beam is formed is reduced by 6.02 dB. As a result, the reception power in the terminal device also becomes small.
圖6係用來說明動態範圍及收訊功率之一例的說明圖。參照圖6,圖示了終端裝置中的動態範圍內的收訊功率41之變化。例如,在時點43上,指向性波束是 急遽變少,其結果為,終端裝置中的收訊功率41也會急遽變大。其結果為,於A/D(Analog-Digital)轉換器中會發生飽和,終端裝置可能無法適切接收訊號。 Fig. 6 is an explanatory diagram for explaining an example of dynamic range and reception power. Referring to Fig. 6, a change in the received power 41 within the dynamic range in the terminal device is illustrated. For example, at time point 43, the directional beam is As a result, the number of rushes is reduced, and as a result, the reception power 41 in the terminal device is also rapidly increased. As a result, saturation occurs in the A/D (Analog-Digital) converter, and the terminal device may not be able to receive signals properly.
於是,指向性波束所致之送訊被進行時能夠獲得較為良好之收訊品質的機制之提供,係被需求。 Therefore, the provision of a mechanism for obtaining a relatively good reception quality when the transmission by the directional beam is performed is required.
接著,參照圖7,說明本揭露的實施形態中所述之系統1的概略構成。圖7係本揭露之實施形態所述之系統1之概略構成之一例的說明圖。參照圖7,系統1係含有基地台100及終端裝置200。系統1,係為例如LTE、LTE-Advanced、或符合這些規格之通訊規格為基礎的系統。 Next, a schematic configuration of the system 1 described in the embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Fig. 7 .

For example, the base station 100 performs wireless communication with the terminal device 200 located in the cellular network 101 of the base station 100.
尤其在本揭露之實施形態中,基地台100係進行波束成形。例如,該當波束成形係為大規模MIMO的波束成形。該當波束成形係也會被稱為巨量MIMO之波束成形、無維度(free dimension)MIMO之波束成形、或3維波束成形。具體而言,例如,基地台100,係具備可使用於大規模MIMO的指向性天線,藉由將該當指向性天線所需之權重集合乘算至送訊訊號,以進行大規模MIMO之 波束成形。 In particular, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the base station 100 performs beamforming. For example, the beamforming is beamforming for massive MIMO. The beamforming system is also referred to as beamforming of massive MIMO, beamforming of free dimension MIMO, or 3-dimensional beamforming. Specifically, for example, the base station 100 is provided with a directional antenna that can be used for large-scale MIMO, and multiplies the weight set required for the directional antenna to the transmission signal for mass MIMO. Beamforming.
終端裝置200,係與基地台100進行無線通訊。例如,終端裝置200係在位於基地台100之蜂巢網101內時,與基地台100進行無線通訊。 The terminal device 200 performs wireless communication with the base station 100. For example, when the terminal device 200 is located in the cellular network 101 of the base station 100, it performs wireless communication with the base station 100.

首先,參照圖8,說明本揭露的實施形態所述之基地台100的構成之一例。圖8係本揭露之實施形態所述之基地台100之構成之一例的區塊圖。參照圖8,基地台100係具備:天線部110、無線通訊部120、網路通訊部130、記憶部140及處理部150。 First, an example of the configuration of the base station 100 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Fig. 8 . Fig. 8 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the base station 100 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to Fig. 8, base station 100 includes antenna unit 110, wireless communication unit 120, network communication unit 130, memory unit 140, and processing unit 150.
天線部110,係將無線通訊部120所輸出之訊號,以電波方式在空間中輻射。又,天線部110,係將空間之電波轉換成訊號,將該當訊號輸出至無線通訊部120。 The antenna unit 110 radiates the signal output from the wireless communication unit 120 in a space by radio waves. Further, the antenna unit 110 converts the radio wave of the space into a signal, and outputs the signal to the wireless communication unit 120.
例如,天線部110,係含有指向性天線。例如,該當指向性天線,係為可使用於大規模MIMO的指向 性天線。 For example, the antenna unit 110 includes a directional antenna. For example, the directional antenna is a pointer that can be used for massive MIMO. Antenna.

接下來,參照圖10~圖14,說明本揭露之實施形態所述之技術特徵。 Next, the technical features described in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Figs. 10 to 14 .
在本揭露之實施形態中,基地台100(資訊取得部151),係取得有關於頻帶中在子訊框內所被形成之指向性波束之數量所相應之功率的功率關連資訊。然後,基地台100(控制部153),係於上記頻帶中在上記子訊框內所被發送之下鏈控制資訊(Downlink Control Information:DCI)之中,將上記功率關連資訊,通知給終端裝置200。 In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the base station 100 (the information acquisition unit 151) acquires power-related information on the power corresponding to the number of directional beams formed in the sub-frame in the frequency band. Then, the base station 100 (control unit 153) notifies the terminal device of the power-related information in the downlink control information (Downlink Control Information: DCI) transmitted in the upper sub-frame in the upper frequency band. 200.
又,在本揭露之實施形態中,終端裝置200(資訊取得部241),係取得上記功率關連資訊。然後,終端裝置200(控制部243),係基於上記功率關連資訊,來進行終端裝置200的收訊增幅器之增益設定。 Further, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device 200 (the information acquisition unit 241) obtains the above-described power-related information. Then, the terminal device 200 (control unit 243) sets the gain of the receiving amplifier of the terminal device 200 based on the above-described power-related information.
藉此,例如,在以指向性波束進行送訊時,就可獲得較為良好的收訊品質。 Thereby, for example, when transmitting with a directional beam, a relatively good reception quality can be obtained.
例如,上記頻帶,係為分量載波(Component Carrier:CC)。 For example, the upper frequency band is a component carrier (Component Carrier: CC).
例如,上記功率關連資訊,係為表示上記指向性波束之上記數量所相應之功率偏置的資訊。例如,該當功率偏置,係亦可說是每一指向性波束的功率削減量。又,例如,上記指向性波束,係為大規模MIMO之指向性波束。 For example, the above-mentioned power-related information is information indicating the power offset corresponding to the number on the directional beam. For example, the power offset can also be said to be the amount of power reduction for each directional beam. Also, for example, the above directional beam is a directional beam of massive MIMO.
作為一例,若上記指向性波束之數量是所定數(例如15),則上記功率偏置係為0dB,若上記指向性波束之數量是上記所定數之2倍,則上記功率偏置係為,上記功率偏置係為-3.01dB。再者,若上記指向性波束之數量為上記所定數之4倍,則上記功率偏置係為,上記功率偏置係為-6.02dB。 As an example, if the number of the directional beams is a predetermined number (for example, 15), the power offset is 0 dB, and if the number of directional beams is twice the number of the above, the power offset is The above power bias is -3.01dB. Furthermore, if the number of the directional beams is four times the number specified above, the power bias is given as above, and the power offset is -6.02 dB.
根據如此的功率偏置,終端裝置200,係可較容易獲知收訊功率是變成哪種程度,可進行適切的增益設定。 According to such a power offset, the terminal device 200 can easily know how much the received power is, and can perform appropriate gain setting.
例如,上記功率關連資訊,係為表示上記功率偏置的索引。以下針對這點,參照圖10來說明具體例。 For example, the power-related information is an index indicating the power offset. Hereinafter, a specific example will be described with reference to Fig. 10 .
圖10係用來說明表示功率偏置的功率關連資訊之一例的說明圖。參照圖10,圖示了索引和功率偏 置。例如,像這樣,制定複數功率偏置,各索引係表示上記複數功率偏置之中的對應之1者。例如,索引0係表示0dB,索引2係表示-6.02dB。功率關連資訊,係為複數索引之其中的1者,表示上記複數功率偏置之其中的1者。此外,表示如此的索引與功率偏置之關係的資訊,係被保持在基地台100及終端裝置200中。 Fig. 10 is an explanatory diagram for explaining an example of power related information indicating a power offset. Referring to Figure 10, the index and power offset are illustrated. Set. For example, a complex power offset is formulated as described above, and each index indicates one of the corresponding complex power offsets. For example, index 0 represents 0 dB and index 2 represents -6.02 dB. The power related information is one of the complex indexes, and indicates one of the complex power offsets. Further, information indicating the relationship between such an index and the power offset is held in the base station 100 and the terminal device 200.
上記功率關連資訊,係亦可為表示上記功率偏置以外的資訊。 The power-related information is also used to indicate information other than the power offset.
作為一例,上記功率關連資訊係亦可為,表示上記指向性波束之上記數量的資訊。此情況下,上記功率關連資訊係亦可為,表示上記指向性波束之上記數量的索引。又,表示索引與指向性波束之數量之關係的資訊(及表示指向性波束之數量與功率偏置之關係的資訊),係亦可被保持在基地台100及終端裝置200中。 As an example, the above-mentioned power-related information system may also be information indicating that the number of the above-mentioned directional beams is recorded. In this case, the above-mentioned power-related information may also be an index indicating the number of the above-mentioned directional beams. Further, information indicating the relationship between the index and the number of directional beams (and information indicating the relationship between the number of directional beams and the power offset) may be held in the base station 100 and the terminal device 200.
根據如此的指向性波束之數量,終端裝置200係可獲知收訊功率是變成哪種程度,可進行適切的增益設定。 Based on the number of such directional beams, the terminal device 200 can know to what extent the received power is, and can perform appropriate gain setting.
例如,由基地台100通知上記功率關連資訊的終端裝置200,係為被分配了上記子訊框內之下鏈資源的終端裝 置。亦即,該終端裝置200係為,在上記子訊框內接收下鏈資料訊號的終端裝置。 For example, the terminal device 200 notifying the power-related information by the base station 100 is a terminal device to which the lower-chain resource in the upper sub-frame is allocated. Set. That is, the terminal device 200 is a terminal device that receives a downlink data signal in the upper subframe.
例如,由基地台100通知上記功率關連資訊的終端裝置200,係為具有基於功率關連資訊來進行收訊增幅器之增益設定之能力的裝置。 For example, the terminal device 200 notifying the power-related information by the base station 100 is a device having the capability of setting the gain of the receiving amplifier based on the power-related information.
例如,終端裝置200(控制部243),係將表示終端裝置200具有上記能力的能力資訊,通知給基地台100。然後,基地台100(資訊取得部151)係取得上記能力資訊。 For example, the terminal device 200 (control unit 243) notifies the base station 100 of the capability information indicating that the terminal device 200 has the above-described capability. Then, the base station 100 (the information acquisition unit 151) obtains the above-mentioned ability information.
如上述,基地台100(控制部153),係於上記頻帶中在上記子訊框內所被發送之上記下鏈控制資訊之中,將上記功率關連資訊,通知給終端裝置200。 As described above, the base station 100 (control unit 153) notifies the terminal device 200 of the power-related information recorded in the above-mentioned sub-frame in the upper frequency band.
例如,上記下鏈控制資訊係含有,表示被分配給終端裝置200之下鏈資源的資訊。 For example, the above-described lower chain control information includes information indicating that the chain resources are allocated to the terminal device 200.
例如,上記下鏈控制資訊係為,在實體下鏈控制頻道(Physical Downlink Control Channel:PDCCH)上所被發送的資訊。 For example, the above-mentioned lower chain control information is information transmitted on a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH).
圖11係用來說明下鏈控制資訊所被發送之PDCCH之例子的說明圖。參照圖11,頻帶中的1子訊框份的下鏈資源,係被圖示。該當頻帶,係為分量載波。例 如,子訊框中所含之14個符元之中的,開頭3個符元中係配置有PDCCH,剩下的11個符元中係配置有PDSCH。下鏈控制資訊,係在PDCCH上被發送。 FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram for explaining an example of a PDCCH to which downlink control information is transmitted. Referring to Fig. 11, the downlink resource of one subframe in the frequency band is illustrated. The frequency band is a component carrier. example For example, among the 14 symbols included in the subframe, the PDCCH is configured in the first three symbols, and the remaining 11 symbols are configured with PDSCH. The downlink control information is sent on the PDCCH.
藉由在下鏈控制資訊之中的功率控制資訊之通知,例如,終端裝置200係變成可以在子訊框之開始附近的階段中進行收訊增幅器之增益設定,進行該當子訊框中的收訊處理。其結果為,收訊訊號可以收斂在A/D轉換器之動態範圍內,藉由指向性波束而被發送之下鏈資料訊號可被適切地接收。 By the notification of the power control information in the downlink control information, for example, the terminal device 200 becomes a gain setting of the receiving amplifier in a stage near the beginning of the subframe, and the receiving of the subframe is performed. Processing. As a result, the received signal can converge within the dynamic range of the A/D converter, and the transmitted downlink data signal can be appropriately received by the directional beam.
此外,上記實體下鏈控制頻道,係亦可不是通常的PDCCH,而是ePDCCH。 In addition, the above-mentioned entity downlink control channel may not be a normal PDCCH but an ePDCCH.
例如,基地台100,係藉由指向性波束,將下鏈資料訊號,發送至終端裝置200。更具體而言,例如,基地台100,係在PDSCH上,藉由指向性波束而將下鏈資料訊號發送至終端裝置200。例如,可形成隨每一終端裝置200而不同的指向性波束。 For example, the base station 100 transmits the downlink data signal to the terminal device 200 by the directional beam. More specifically, for example, the base station 100 transmits the downlink data signal to the terminal device 200 by the directional beam on the PDSCH. For example, a directional beam that is different with each terminal device 200 can be formed.
如上述,終端裝置200(控制部243),係基於上記功率關連資訊,來進行終端裝置200的收訊增幅器之增益設定。例如,該當收訊增幅器,係為LNA(Low Noise Amplifier)。 As described above, the terminal device 200 (control unit 243) sets the gain of the receiving amplifier of the terminal device 200 based on the above-described power-related information. For example, the receiver amplifier is LNA (Low Noise Amplifier).
例如,終端裝置200(控制部243),係若上記功率關連資訊所表示的功率偏置是降低,則將上記收訊增幅器之增益設定值予以降低,若上記功率關連資訊所表示的功率偏置是提高,則將上記收訊增幅器之增益設定值予以提高。 For example, if the terminal device 200 (control unit 243) lowers the power offset indicated by the power-related information, the gain setting value of the above-mentioned receiving amplifier is lowered, and the power offset indicated by the power-related information is recorded. If the setting is increased, the gain setting value of the above-mentioned receiving amplifier is increased.
圖12係用來說明LNA的增益設定之處理流程的說明圖。參照圖12,例如,被天線元件所接收到的訊號,係被LNA所增幅,被A/D轉換器轉換成數位訊號,並被解調。然後,下鏈控制資訊中所含之功率關連資訊會被取得,基於該當功率關連資訊而進行上記LNA之增益設定。 Fig. 12 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a processing flow of gain setting of the LNA. Referring to Fig. 12, for example, the signal received by the antenna element is amplified by the LNA, converted into a digital signal by the A/D converter, and demodulated. Then, the power-related information contained in the downlink control information is obtained, and the gain setting of the LNA is performed based on the power-related information.
例如,基地台100(控制部153),係於上記頻帶中,在上記子訊框內的、上記下鏈控制資訊之送訊後的所定時間內,停止下鏈資料訊號之送訊。 For example, the base station 100 (control unit 153) stops the transmission of the downlink data signal within the predetermined time after the transmission of the lower chain control information in the upper sub-frame.
藉此,例如,可以防止伴隨增益設定之雜訊的發生所導致的收訊品質降低。 Thereby, for example, it is possible to prevent the deterioration of the reception quality due to the occurrence of noise accompanying the gain setting.
例如,上記所定時間係為,上記子訊框內的、上記下鏈控制資訊之送訊後的1符元。更具體而言,例如,上記所定時間係為,上記子訊框內的、緊接於上記實體下鏈控制頻道之後的1符元。以下針對這點,參照圖13來說明 具體例。 For example, the time specified in the above is the one symbol after the transmission of the lower chain control information in the above sub-frame. More specifically, for example, the above-mentioned time is the one symbol in the upper sub-frame immediately after the upper-lower entity control channel. Hereinafter, this point will be described with reference to FIG. Specific examples.
圖13係用來說明下鏈資料訊號之送訊的停止之一例的說明圖。參照圖13,頻帶中的1子訊框份的下鏈資源,係被圖示。如參照圖11所說明,子訊框中所含之14個符元之中的,開頭3個符元中係配置有PDCCH,下鏈控制資訊係在PDCCH上被發送。例如,基地台100,係在緊接於PDCCH之後的符元51(亦即第4個符元)內,停止下鏈資料訊號之送訊。 Fig. 13 is an explanatory diagram for explaining an example of stopping the transmission of the downlink data signal. Referring to Fig. 13, the downlink resources of one subframe in the frequency band are illustrated. As described with reference to FIG. 11, among the 14 symbols included in the subframe, the PDCCH is arranged in the first three symbols, and the downlink control information is transmitted on the PDCCH. For example, the base station 100 stops the transmission of the downlink data signal in the symbol 51 (ie, the fourth symbol) immediately after the PDCCH.
基地台100(控制部153),係亦可將上記所定時間所需之功率,當作上記子訊框內的、上記所定時間之後的另一時間所需之功率,而加以分配。以下針對這點,參照圖14來說明具體例。 The base station 100 (control unit 153) may also allocate the power required for the predetermined time as the power required for another time after the predetermined time in the upper frame, and allocate it. Hereinafter, a specific example will be described with reference to Fig. 14 .
圖14係用來說明下鏈資料訊號之送訊的停止後的功率之一例的說明圖。參照圖14,頻帶中的1子訊框份的下鏈資源,係被圖示。如參照圖13所說明,例如,基地台100,係在緊接於PDCCH之後的符元51(亦即第4個符元)內,停止下鏈資料訊號之送訊。然後,符元51所需之功率,係被當成緊接於符元51之後的符元53(亦即緊接於符元51之後的10符元)所需之功率,而被分配。其結果為,符元53之功率,係變成11/10倍。 Fig. 14 is an explanatory diagram for explaining an example of power after the stop of the transmission of the downlink data signal. Referring to Fig. 14, the downlink resources of one sub-frame in the frequency band are illustrated. As described with reference to FIG. 13, for example, the base station 100 stops the transmission of the downlink data signal in the symbol 51 (ie, the fourth symbol) immediately after the PDCCH. Then, the power required by the symbol 51 is assigned as the power required for the symbol 53 immediately after the symbol 51 (i.e., 10 symbols immediately after the symbol 51). As a result, the power of the symbol 53 is 11/10 times.
此外,符元51所需之功率,係亦可被當成緊接於符元51之後的3符元(亦即同一時槽內的符元)所 需之功率而被分配。其結果為,上記3符元之功率,係亦可變成4/3倍。 In addition, the power required by the symbol 51 can also be regarded as a 3-symbol immediately after the symbol 51 (that is, a symbol in the same time slot). It is allocated according to the power required. As a result, the power of the three symbols can be 4/3 times.
藉此,例如,即使在上記所定時間內停止下鏈資料訊號之送訊,仍可提升在另一時間內的收訊品質。其結果為,可抑制通訊速度之降低。 Thereby, for example, even if the transmission of the downlink data signal is stopped within the time specified in the above, the reception quality in another time can be improved. As a result, the reduction in communication speed can be suppressed.
基地台100(控制部153),係若於上記頻帶中在上記子訊框內被通知給終端裝置200的上記功率關連資訊,是與於上記頻帶中在緊接於上記子訊框之前的另一子訊框內被通知給終端裝置200的另一功率關連資訊不同的情況下,則亦可於上記頻帶中在上記所定時間內停止下鏈資料訊號之送訊。又,基地台100(控制部153),係若上記功率關連資訊是與上記另一功率關連資訊相同的情況下,則亦可於上記頻帶中在上記所定時間內不停止下鏈資料訊號之送訊。 The base station 100 (control unit 153) is the upper power-related information that is notified to the terminal device 200 in the upper frame in the upper frequency band, and is in the upper frequency band immediately before the upper frame. In the case where the other power-related information notified to the terminal device 200 in one sub-frame is different, the transmission of the downlink data signal may be stopped in the above-mentioned frequency band for the time specified in the above. Further, if the base station 100 (control unit 153) records that the power-related information is the same as the other power-related information, the base station 100 (control unit 153) may not stop the transmission of the downlink data signal within the time specified in the upper frequency band. News.
作為一例,若上記功率控制資訊係為表示-12.04dB的索引4,上記另一功率控制資訊係為表示0dB的索引0的情況下,則基地台100(控制部153),係亦可於上記頻帶中在上記所定時間內停止下鏈資料訊號之送訊。另一方面,若上記功率控制資訊及上記另一功率控制資訊之雙方都是表示-12.04dB的索引4,則基地台100(控制部153),係亦可於上記頻帶中在上記所定時間內不停止下鏈資料訊號之送訊。這是因為,終端裝置200中 的增益設定值沒有改變。 As an example, if the power control information is an index 4 indicating -12.04 dB and the other power control information is an index 0 indicating 0 dB, the base station 100 (control unit 153) may also be in the above The transmission of the downlink data signal is stopped in the frequency band for the time specified in the above. On the other hand, if both the power control information and the other power control information are both index 4 indicating -12.04 dB, the base station 100 (control unit 153) may also be in the upper frequency band for the time specified in the above. Do not stop the delivery of the downlink data signal. This is because the terminal device 200 The gain setting has not changed.
藉此,例如,可以更為降低下鏈資料訊號之停止的頻率。 Thereby, for example, the frequency of stopping the downlink data signal can be further reduced.
此外,基地台100(控制部153),係亦可將表示於上記頻帶中在上記所定時間內是否停止下鏈資料訊號之送訊的停止資訊,在上記下鏈控制資訊之中,通知給終端裝置200。然後,終端裝置200(資訊取得部241),係亦可取得上記停止資訊,終端裝置200(控制部243),係亦可基於上記停止資訊,來進行上記頻帶中的上記子訊框內之收訊處理。藉此,例如,終端裝置200,係可較容易獲知是否進行增益設定。 Further, the base station 100 (control unit 153) may notify the terminal of the stop information indicating whether or not the transmission of the downlink data signal is stopped within the time period indicated in the upper frequency band, in the lower link control information. Device 200. Then, the terminal device 200 (the information acquisition unit 241) can also obtain the above-described stop information, and the terminal device 200 (control unit 243) can perform the reception in the upper frame in the upper frequency band based on the above-described stop information. Processing. Thereby, for example, the terminal device 200 can easily know whether or not to perform gain setting.

That is, the base station 100 (control unit 153) does not significantly reduce the power per one directional beam between consecutive sub-frames.
例如,指向性波束之數量,係從150減少成15。此情況下,例如,基地台100,係在上記第1子訊框內形成150個指向性波束,在上記第2子訊框內形成15個指向性波束。此處,例如,基地台100,係於功率分配時,於上記第2子訊框中不會使每一指向性波束之功率一口氣增加至10dB,而是例如,跨越複數子訊框而使每一指向性波束之功率緩緩增加。其結果為,在連續的子訊框間,1每一指向性波束之功率不會大幅地增加。因此,AGC可以追隨收訊功率之變化,可避免A/D轉換器中發生飽和。 For example, the number of directional beams is reduced from 150 to 15. In this case, for example, the base station 100 forms 150 directional beams in the first sub-frame and 15 directional beams in the second sub-frame. Here, for example, when the base station 100 is in power allocation, the power of each directional beam is not increased to 10 dB in the second subframe, but for example, across multiple subframes. The power of each directional beam is slowly increasing. As a result, the power of each directional beam does not increase significantly between successive sub-frames. Therefore, the AGC can follow the change in the received power and avoid saturation in the A/D converter.
例如,指向性波束之數量,係從15增加成150。此情況下,例如,基地台100,係在上記第1子訊框內形成15個指向性波束,跨越包含上記第2子訊框的複數子訊框,而使指向性波束之數量緩緩增加。基地台100,係在上記第2子訊框內不會使指向性波束之數量被大幅增加。其結果為,在連續的子訊框間,1每一指向性波束之功率不會大幅地減少。因此,AGC可以追隨收訊功率之變化,可避免A/D轉換器中的訊號之劣化。 For example, the number of directional beams is increased from 15 to 150. In this case, for example, the base station 100 forms 15 directional beams in the first sub-frame, and spans the plurality of sub-frames including the second sub-frame, so that the number of directional beams is gradually increased. . The base station 100 does not substantially increase the number of directional beams in the second subframe. As a result, the power of each directional beam is not greatly reduced between successive sub-frames. Therefore, the AGC can follow the change in the received power and avoid the degradation of the signal in the A/D converter.
藉此,例如,在不具有基於功率關連資訊來進行收訊增幅器之增益設定之能力的終端裝置要進行下鏈資料之訊號時,可防止該當終端裝置中的收訊品質之降低。 Thereby, for example, when the terminal device that does not have the capability of setting the gain of the receiving amplifier based on the power-related information is to perform the signal of the downlink data, the degradation of the reception quality in the terminal device can be prevented.
此外,基地台100(控制部153),係尤其是在將上記第1子訊框及上記第2子訊框之雙方的下鏈資源,分配給不具有上記能力的終端裝置時,亦可進行資源分配或功率分配以使得上記差不會超過上記所定之閾值。 Further, the base station 100 (control unit 153) may perform the assignment of the downlink resources of both the first subframe and the second subframe to the terminal device that does not have the above-mentioned capability. Resource allocation or power allocation such that the upper difference does not exceed the threshold specified above.
