Abstract
Description
図21は、従来のW-CDMA方式におけるハードハンドオーバ手順を示すシーケンスチャートである。図21では、移動局装置と、周波数帯域1を使用する第1の基地局装置~第3の基地局装置と、周波数帯域2を使用する第4の基地局装置を示している。なお、第1の基地局装置~第3の基地局装置は別の基地局装置でも良いし、同じ基地局装置の異なる送信装置であってもよい。
図24は、Carrier Aggregationを用いた受信周波数帯域の増減の様子を示す図である。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。ただし、移動局装置は20MHz以上の受信帯域幅を持つ必要あり、本例では20MHzの周波数帯域を同時に3つまで受信可能であり、その受信帯域幅の合計は60MHzである。
EUTRAおよび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。
次に、本発明の第1の実施形態について説明する。図1Aは、本発明の第1の実施形態に係る移動局装置の構成の一例を示すブロック図である。また、図1Bは、本実施形態で想定しているCarrier Aggregationを示す図である。移動局装置構成は、対応する周波数帯域(例えば800MHzバンド、2.4GHzバンド、3.4GHzバンド)により、複数の送受信部により構成されている。図1Aは図1Bに示したCarrier Aggregationに対応可能な移動局装置構成を示す。
次に、本発明の第2の実施形態について説明する。第1の実施形態では、ハンドオーバ指示メッセージは、ハンドオーバ元のキャリア要素(セル)から送信されていた。しかしながら、ハンドオーバが指示されるということは、比較的受信品質が悪いキャリア要素(セル)であることを意味し、ハンドオーバ指示メッセージの受信を失敗する確率も高い。そこで、本実施形態では、Carrier Aggregationされている他のキャリア要素でハンドオーバ指示メッセージを送信することによって、ハンドオーバ指示メッセージの受信成功確率ならびにハンドオーバ成功確率を向上させる方法を示す。本実施形態における移動局装置の受信装置と送信装置、および基地局装置の受信装置と送信装置は第1の実施形態と同じでよい。本実施形態のネットワーク構成は図5と同じでよい。
次に、本発明の第3の実施形態について説明する。第1の実施形態ならびに第2の実施形態では、ハンドオーバ完了メッセージ前に、ハンドオーバ先のキャリア要素(ターゲットセル)に対してランダムアクセスチャネルを送信し、上り同期を確立させる必要があった。しかし、Carrier Aggregation中の各キャリア要素が同一基地局装置で制御されており、かつ各キャリア要素の上り受信タイミングがほぼ同じであれば、同一基地局装置のキャリア要素を変更するハンドオーバ時において、上り同期を確立する必要が無く、ランダムアクセス手順を省略することが可能となる。
次に、本発明の第4の実施形態について説明する。第1の実施形態から第3の実施形態では、ソフトハンドオーバのように、移動局装置が受信している周波数帯域のうち、少なくとも一つはハンドオーバ手順の前後で変わらないハンドオーバ手順について説明してきた。しかしながら、Carrier Aggregation状態にある各キャリア要素の受信品質と、周辺基地局装置の各周波数帯域のキャリア要素の受信品質を全て比較するのは非常に複雑であり、移動局装置の計算処理が膨大となる恐れがある。
