図19は、QPSK変調におけるベースバンド信号を構成する同相成分Iと直交成分QのIQ平面におけるマッピング方法の一例としている。例えば、図19(A)のように、入力データが「00」の場合、I=1.0、Q=1.0が出力され、以下同様に、入力データが「01」の場合、I=―1.0、Q=1.0が出力され、・・・、が出力される。図19(B)は、図19(A)とは異なるQPSK変調のIQ平面におけるマッピング方法の例であり、図19(B)が図19(A)と異なる点は、図19(A)における信号点が、原点を中心に回転させることで図19(B)の信号点を得ることができる。このようなコンスタレーションの回転方法については、非特許文献9、非特許文献10に示されており、また、非特許文献9、非特許文献10に示されているCyclic Q Delayを適用してもよい。図19とは別の例として、図20に16QAMのときのIQ平面における信号点配置を示しており、図19(A)に相当する例が図20(A)であり、図19(B)に相当する例が図20(B)となる。
マッピング部306Bは、インタリーブ後のデータ305B、フレーム構成信号313を入力とし、QPSK(Quadrature Phase Shift Keying)、16QAM(16 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation)、64QAM(64 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation)等の変調を施し、ベースバンド信号307Bを出力する。(フレーム構成信号313に基づき、変調方式は、切り替えても良い。)
信号処理方法情報生成部314は、フレーム構成信号313を入力とし、フレーム構成信号313に基づいた信号処理方法に関する情報315を出力する。なお、信号処理方法に関する情報315は、どのプリコーディング行列を固定的に用いるのかを指定する情報と、位相を変更する位相変更パターンの情報を含む。
あるいは、上記式(36)において、αは、
なお、プリコーディング行列は、式(36)に限ったものではなく、式(39)に示すものを用いてもよい。
符号化部402は、情報(データ)401、フレーム構成信号313を入力とし、フレーム構成信号313に基づき、誤り訂正符号化を行い、符号化後のデータ402を出力する。
図5において、504#1、504#2は送信装置における送信アンテナ、505#1、505#2は受信装置における受信アンテナを示しており、送信装置は、変調信号z1(t)を送信アンテナ504#1、変調信号z2(t)を送信アンテナ504#2から送信する。このとき、変調信号z1(t)および変調信号z2(t)は、同一(共通の)周波数(帯域)を占有しているものとする。送信装置の各送信アンテナと受信装置の各アンテナのチャネル変動をそれぞれh11(t)、h12(t)、h21(t)、h22(t)とし、受信装置の受信アンテナ505#1が受信した受信信号をr1(t)、受信装置の受信アンテナ505#2が受信した受信信号をr2(t)とすると、以下の関係式が成立する。
規則的な位相変更の周期は4に限ったものではない。この周期の数が多くなればその分だけ、受信装置の受信性能(より正確には誤り訂正性能)の向上を促すことができる可能性がある(周期が大きければよいというわけではないが、2のような小さい値は避ける方がよい可能性が高い。)。
送信装置で送信された変調信号z1におけるチャネル変動推定部707_1は、ベースバンド信号704_Yを入力とし、図5におけるチャネル推定用のリファレンスシンボル501_1を抽出し、式(40)のh21に相当する値を推定し、チャネル推定信号708_1を出力する。
したがって、図8の係数生成部819は、送信装置が通知した送信方法の情報(用いた固定のプリコーディング行列及び位相を変更していた場合の位相変更パターンを特定するための情報)に関する信号818(図7の710に相当)を入力とし、信号処理方法の情報に関する信号820を出力する。
<初期検波の場合>
INNER MIMO検波部803は、ベースバンド信号801X、チャネル推定信号群802X、ベースバンド信号801Y、チャネル推定信号群802Yを入力とする。ここでは、変調信号(ストリーム)s1、変調信号(ストリーム)s2の変調方式が16QAMとして説明する。
対数尤度算出部805Aは、信号804を入力とし、ビットb0およびb1およびb2およびb3の対数尤度(log likelihood)を算出し、対数尤度信号806Aを出力する。ただし、対数尤度の算出では、“1”のときの対数尤度および“0”のときの対数尤度が算出される。その算出方法は、式(28)、式(29)、式(30)に示した通りであり、詳細については、非特許文献2、非特許文献3に示されている。
デインタリーバ(807A)は、対数尤度信号806Aを入力とし、インタリーバ(図3のインタリーバ(304A))に対応するデインタリーブを行い、デインタリーブ後の対数尤度信号808Aを出力する。
同様に、Soft-in/soft-outデコーダ811Bは、対数尤度比信号810Bを入力とし、復号を行い、復号後の対数尤度比812Bを出力する。
インタリーバ(813A)は、k-1回目のsoft-in/soft-outデコードで得られた復号後の対数尤度比812Aを入力とし、インタリーブを行い、インタリーブ後の対数尤度比814Aを出力する。このとき、インタリーブ(813A)のインタリーブのパターンは、図3のインタリーバ(304A)のインタリーブパターンと同様である。
また、非特許文献11に示されているように、H(t)×Y(t)×Fに基づき、MMSE(Minimum Mean Square Error)、ZF(Zero Forcing)の線形演算を行い、初期検波を行ってもよい。
図12は、OFDM方式を用いたときの送信装置の構成を示している。図12において、図3と同様に動作するものについては、同一符号を付した。
逆高速フーリエ変換部1306Aは、並び換え後の信号1305Aを入力とし、逆高速フーリエ変換を施し、逆フーリエ変換後の信号1307Aを出力する。
逆高速フーリエ変換部1306Bは、並び換え後の信号1305Bを入力とし、逆高速フーリエ変換を施し、逆フーリエ変換後の信号1307Bを出力する。
このように、OFDM方式などのマルチキャリア伝送方式を用いた場合、シングルキャリア伝送のときとは異なり、シンボルを周波数軸方向に並べることができるという特徴を持つことになる。そして、シンボルの並べ方については、図14のような並べ方に限ったものではない。他の例について、図15、図16を用いて説明する。
(実施の形態2)
上記実施の形態1においては、重み付け合成された(固定のプリコーディング行列でプリコーディングされた)信号z(t)の位相を変更することとした。ここでは、上記実施の形態1と同等の効果を得られる位相変更方法の各種の実施形態について開示する。
しかしながら、位相の変更を実行するタイミングとしては、重み付け合成部600によるプリコーディングの前に実行することとしてもよく、送信装置は、図6に示した構成に代えて、図25に示すように、位相変更部317Bを重み付け合成部600の前段に設ける構成としてもよい。
時刻8kのとき、y1(8k)=ej0、y2(8k)=1、
時刻8k+1のとき、y1(8k+1)=ejπ/2、y2(8k+1)=1、
時刻8k+2のとき、y1(8k+2)=ejπ、y2(8k+2)=1、
時刻8k+3のとき、y1(8k+3)=ej3π/2、y2(8k+3)=1、
時刻8k+4のとき、y1(8k+4)=1、y2(8k+4)=ej0、
時刻8k+5のとき、y1(8k+5)=1、y2(8k+5)=ejπ/2、
時刻8k+6のとき、y1(8k+6)=1、y2(8k+6)=ejπ、
時刻8k+7のとき、y1(8k+7)=1、y2(8k+7)=ej3π/2
となる。
図29の位相変更部317Aは、s1’(t)=y1(t)s1(t)となるように、また、位相変更部317Bは、s2’(t)=y2(t)s2(t)となるように、位相の変更を行うことになる。
時刻8kのとき、y1(8k)=ej0、y2(8k)=1、
時刻8k+1のとき、y1(8k+1)=ejπ/2、y2(8k+1)=1、
時刻8k+2のとき、y1(8k+2)=ejπ、y2(8k+2)=1、
時刻8k+3のとき、y1(8k+3)=ej3π/2、y2(8k+3)=1、
時刻8k+4のとき、y1(8k+4)=1、y2(8k+4)=ej0、
時刻8k+5のとき、y1(8k+5)=1、y2(8k+5)=ejπ/2、
時刻8k+6のとき、y1(8k+6)=1、y2(8k+6)=ejπ、
時刻8k+7のとき、y1(8k+7)=1、y2(8k+7)=ej3π/2
となる。
これによって、受信装置側における送信信号z1(t)及びz2(t)を受信したときのそれぞれの受信状態を均等にすることができるとともに、受信した信号z1(t)及びz2(t)それぞれのシンボルにおいて位相が周期的に切り替えられることにより、誤り訂正復号後の誤り訂正能力を向上させることができるので、LOS環境における受信品質を向上させることができる。
本実施の形態では、シングルキャリア方式を例、つまり、位相変更を時間軸に対して行う場合について説明したが、これに限ったものではなく、マルチキャリア伝送を行った場合でも同様に実施することができる。したがって、例えば、スペクトル拡散通信方式、OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing)方式、SC-FDMA(Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access)、SC-OFDM(Single Carrier Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing)方式、非特許文献7等で示されているウェーブレットOFDM方式等を用いた場合についても同様に実施することができる。前述したように、本実施の形態では、位相変更を行う説明として、時間t軸方向で位相変更を行う場合で説明したが、実施の形態1と同様に、周波数軸方向に位相変更を行う、つまり、本実施の形態において、t方向での位相変更の説明において、tをf(f:周波数((サブ)キャリア))に置き換えて、考えることで、本実施の形態で説明した位相変更方法を、周波数方向に位相変更ことに適用することができることになる。また、本実施の形態の位相変更方法は、実施の形態1の説明と同様に、時間-周波数方向に対する位相変更に対して、適用することも可能である。
(実施の形態3)
上記実施の形態1及び2においては、位相を規則的に変更することとした。本実施の形態3においては、送信装置から見て、各所に点在することになる受信装置において、受信装置がどこに配置されていても、各受信装置が良好なデータの受信品質を得るための手法について開示する。
図31は、規則的に位相を変更する送信方式において、OFDM方式のようなマルチキャリア方式を用いたときの、時間-周波数軸における信号の一部のシンボルのフレーム構成の一例を示している。
(なお、図6では時間軸方向で位相変更を行う場合を示しているが、図6において、時間tをキャリアfに置き換えて考えることで、周波数方向での位相変更を行うことに相当し、時間tを時間t、周波数f、つまり(t)を(t、f)に置き換えて考えることで、時間周波数のブロックで位相変更を行うことに相当する。)
図31は、図12に示した位相変更部317Bの入力である変調信号z2’のフレーム構成を示しており、1つの四角がシンボル(ただし、プリコーディングを行っているため、s1とs2の両者の信号を含んでいるのが通常であるが、プリコーディング行列の構成次第では、s1とs2の一方の信号のみであることもある。)を示している。
キャリア2において、時刻$2に時間的に最も隣接するシンボル、つまりキャリア2の時刻$1のシンボル3103と時刻$3のシンボル3101のそれぞれのチャネル状態は、キャリア2、時刻$2のシンボル3100のチャネル状態と、非常に相関が高い。
本明細書において、規則的に位相を変更する送信方法において、乗じる位相として、N種類の位相(但し、Nは2以上の整数)を用意しているものとする。図31に示したシンボルには、例えば、「ej0」という記載を付しているが、これは、このシンボルにおける図6における信号z2’に対し、「ej0」が乗じられて位相が変更されたことを意味する。つまり、図31の各シンボルに記載している値は、式(42)におけるy(t)、および、実施の形態2で説明したz2(t)=y2(t)z2’(t)におけるy2(t)の値となる。
<条件#1>
図6のように、プリコーディング後のベースバンド信号z2’に対し、規則的に位相を変更する送信方法において、OFDMのようなマルチキャリア伝送方式を用いている場合、時間X・キャリアYがデータ伝送用のシンボル(以下、データシンボルと呼称する)であり、時間軸方向で隣接するシンボル、即ち、時間X-1・キャリアYおよび時間X+1・キャリアYがいずれもデータシンボルであり、これら3つのデータシンボルに対応するプリコーディング後のベースバンド信号z2’、つまり、時間X・キャリアY、時間X-1・キャリアYおよび時間X+1・キャリアYにおけるそれぞれのプリコーディング後のベースバンド信号z2’では、いずれも異なる位相変更が行われる。
<条件#2>
図6のように、プリコーディング後のベースバンド信号z2’に対し、規則的に位相を変更する送信方法において、OFDMのようなマルチキャリア伝送方式を用いている場合、時間X・キャリアYがデータ伝送用のシンボル(以下、データシンボルと呼称する)であり、周波数軸方向で隣接するシンボル、即ち、時間X・キャリアY-1および時間X・キャリアY+1がいずれもデータシンボルである場合、これら3つのデータシンボルに対応するプリコーディング後のベースバンド信号z2’、つまり、時間X・キャリアY、時間X・キャリアY-1および時間X・キャリアY+1におけるそれぞれのプリコーディング後のベースバンド信号z2’では、いずれも異なる位相変更が行われる。
この<条件#1><条件#2>が導出される理由は以下の通りである。
<条件#3>
図6のように、プリコーディング後のベースバンド信号z2’に対し、規則的に位相を変更する送信方法において、OFDMのようなマルチキャリア伝送方式を用いている場合、時間X・キャリアYがデータ伝送用のシンボル(以下、データシンボルと呼称する)であり、時間軸方向で隣接するシンボル、即ち、時間X-1・キャリアYおよび時間X+1・キャリアYがいずれもデータシンボルであり、かつ、周波数軸方向で隣接するシンボル、即ち、時間X・キャリアY-1および時間X・キャリアY+1がいずれもデータシンボルである場合、これら5つのデータシンボルに対応するプリコーディング後のベースバンド信号z2’、つまり、時間X・キャリアYおよび時間X-1・キャリアYおよび時間X+1・キャリアYおよび時間X・キャリアY-1および時間X・キャリアY+1におけるそれぞれのプリコーディング後のベースバンド信号z2’では、いずれも異なる位相変更が行われる。
ここで、「異なる位相変更」について、補足を行う。位相変更は、0ラジアンから2πラジアンで定義されることになる。例えば、時間X・キャリアYにおいて、図6のプリコーディング後のベースバンド信号z2’に対して施す位相変更をejθX,Y、時間X-1・キャリアYにおいて、図6のプリコーディング後のベースバンド信号z2’に対して施す位相変更をejθX-1,Y、時間X+1・キャリアYにおいて、図6のプリコーディング後のベースバンド信号z2’に対して施す位相変更をejθX+1,Yとすると、0ラジアン≦θX,Y<2π、0ラジアン≦θX-1,Y<2π、0ラジアン≦θX+1,Y<2πとなる。したがって、<条件#1>では、θX,Y≠θX-1,YかつθX,Y≠θX+1,YかつθX+1,Y≠θX-1,Yが成立することになる。同様に考えると、<条件#2>では、θX,Y≠θX,Y-1かつθX,Y≠θX,Y+1かつθX,Y-1≠θX-1,Y+1が成立することになり、<条件#3>では、θX,Y≠θX-1,YかつθX,Y≠θX+1,YかつθX,Y≠θX,Y-1かつθX,Y≠θX,Y+1かつθX-1,Y≠θX+1,YかつθX-1,Y≠θX,Y-1かつθX-1,Y≠θX,Y+1かつθX+1,Y≠θX,Y-1かつθX+1,Y≠θX,Y+1かつθX,Y-1≠θX,Y+1が成立することになる。
図31は<条件#3>の例であり、シンボルAに該当するシンボル3100に相当する図6のプリコーディング後のベースバンド信号z2’に乗じられている位相と、そのシンボル3100に時間的に隣接するシンボル3101に相当する図6のプリコーディング後のベースバンド信号z2’、3103に相当する図6のプリコーディング後のベースバンド信号z2’に乗じられている位相と、周波数的に隣接するシンボル3102に相当する図6のプリコーディング後のベースバンド信号z2’、3104に相当する図6のプリコーディング後のベースバンド信号z2’に乗じられている位相が互いに異なるように配されており、これによって、受信側においてシンボル3100の受信品質が劣悪であろうとも、その隣接するシンボルの受信品質は非常に高くなるため、誤り訂正復号後の高い受信品質を確保できる。
図32を見ればわかるように、いずれのデータシンボルにおいても、その位相が周波数軸方向及び時間軸方向の双方において隣接しあうシンボルに対して変更された位相の度合いは互いに異なる位相変更量となっている。このようにすることで、受信装置における誤り訂正能力を更に向上させることができる。
同様に、図32では、周波数方向で隣接するシンボルにデータシンボルが存在していた場合、<条件#2>がすべてのX、すべてのYで成立している。
図26のように、プリコーディング後のベースバンド信号z1’、および、プリコーディング後のベースバンド信号z2’の両者に位相変更を与える場合、位相変更方法について、いくつかの方法がある。その点について、詳しく説明する。
以上のようにすることで、プリコーディング後のベースバンド信号z2’の位相変更は周期10であるが、プリコーディング後のベースバンド信号z1’の位相変更とプリコーディング後のベースバンド信号z2’の位相変更の両者を考慮したときの周期は10より大きくすることができるという効果を得ることができる。これにより、受信装置のデータの受信品質が向上する可能性がある。
図51において、重み付け合成部308A、308B、および、位相変更部317Bは、フレーム構成信号313がデータシンボルであるタイミングを示しているときのみ動作することになる。
選択部5301は、複数のベースバンド信号を入力とし、フレーム構成信号313が示したシンボルのベースバンド信号を選択し、出力する。
同様に、位相変更部5201は、図54のように、複数のベースバンド信号を入力とする。そして、フレーム構成信号313が、データシンボルであることを示していた場合、位相変更部5201は、プリコーディング後のベースバンド信号309Aに対し、位相変更を施す。そして、フレーム構成信号313が、パイロットシンボル(またはヌルシンボル)、または、制御情報シンボルであることを示していた場合、位相変更部5201は、位相変更の動作を停止し、各シンボルのベースバンド信号をそのまま出力する。(解釈としては、「ej0」に相当する位相回転を強制的に行っていると考えればよい。)
上述の説明では、パイロットシンボルと制御シンボルとデータシンボルを例に説明したが、これに限ったものではなく、プリコーディングとは異なる伝送方法、例えば、1アンテナ送信、時空間ブロック符号を用いた伝送方式、等を用いて伝送するシンボルであれば、同様に、位相変更を与えない、ということが重要となり、これとは逆に、プリコーディングを行ったシンボルに対しては、位相変更を行うことが本発明では重要なこととなる。
(実施の形態4)
上記実施の形態1及び2においては、位相を規則的に変更すること、実施の形態3においては、隣り合うシンボルの位相の変更の度合いを異ならせることを開示した。
以下の表1には、送信装置が設定した各種設定パラメータに応じて設定する位相変更方法の一例を示している。
表1における#1は上記実施の形態1の変調信号s1(送信装置が設定した変調方式のベースバンド信号s1)、#2は変調信号s2(送信装置が設定した変調方式のベースバンド信号s2)を意味する。表1における符号化率の列は、#1, #2の変調方式に対し、誤り訂正符号の設定した符号化率を示している。表1における位相変更パターンの列は、実施の形態1から実施の形態3で説明したように、プリコーディング後のベースバンド信号z1(z1’)、z2(z2’)に対して施す位相変更方法を示しており、位相変更パターンをA、B、C、D、E、・・・というように定めているが、これは、実際には、位相を変更する度合いの変化を示す情報であり、例えば、上記式(46)や式(47)に示すような変更パターンを示すものとする。なお、表1における位相変更パターンの例において「‐」と記載しているが、これは、位相変更を行わないことを意味している。
即ち、変調信号s1(t)のマッピング方式を16QAM、変調信号s2(t)のマッピング方式を16QAMであったものを、例えば、変調信号s2(t)に適用するマッピング方式を規則的に、16QAM→16APSK(16 Amplitude Phase Shift Keying)→I-Q平面において16QAM、16APSKとは異なる信号点配置となる第1のマッピング方法→I-Q平面において16QAM、16APSKとは異なる信号点配置となる第2のマッピング方法→・・・というように変更することで、上述してきたように位相を規則的に変更する場合と同様に、受信装置において、データの受信品質を向上する効果を得ることができる。
(実施の形態A1)
本実施の形態では、非特許文献12~非特許文献15に示されているように、QC(Quasi Cyclic) LDPC(Low-Density Prity-Check)符号(QC-LDPC符号でない、LDPC符号であってもよい)、LDPC符号とBCH符号(Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem code)の連接符号、テイルバイティングを用いたターボ符号またはDuo-Binary Turbo Code等のブロック符号を用いたときの規則的に位相を変更する方法について詳しく説明する。ここでは、一例として、s1、s2の2つのストリームを送信する場合を例に説明する。ただし、ブロック符号を用いて符号化を行った際、制御情報等が必要でないとき、符号化後のブロックを構成するビット数は、ブロック符号を構成するビット数(ただし、この中に、以下で記載するような制御情報等が含まれていてもよい。)と一致する。ブロック符号を用いて符号化を行った際、制御情報等(例えば、CRC(cyclic redundancy check)、伝送パラメータ等)が必要であるとき、符号化後のブロックを構成するビット数は、ブロック符号を構成するビット数と制御情報等のビット数の和であることもある。
図34に示すように、ブロック符号における1つの符号化後のブロックを構成するビット数を6000ビットであるとする。この6000ビットを送信するためには、変調方式がQPSKのとき3000シンボル、16QAMのとき1500シンボル、64QAMのとき1000シンボルが必要となる。
ここでは、規則的に位相を変更する方法のために用意する位相変更値(または、位相変更セット)の数を5とする。つまり、図4の送信装置の位相変更部のために、5つの位相変更値(または、位相変更セット)を用意するものとする(実施の形態1から実施の形態4における「周期」となる)(図6のように、プリコーディング後のベースバンド信号z2’のみに位相変更を行う場合、周期5の位相変更を行うためには、5つの位相変更値を用意すればよい。また、図26のように、プリコーディング後のベースバンド信号z1’およびz2’の両者に対し位相変更を行う場合、1スロットのために、2つの位相変更値が必要となる。この2つの位相変更値を位相変更セットとよぶ。したがって、この場合、周期5の位相変更を行うためには、5つの位相変更セットを用意すればよい)。この5つの位相変更値(または、位相変更セット)をPHASE[0], PHASE[1], PHASE[2],PHASE[3], PHASE[4]とあらわすものとする。

図35は、ブロック符号を用いたとき、2つの符号化後のブロックに必要なシンボル数、スロット数の変化を示した図である。図35は、図3の送信装置および図12の送信装置に示したように、s1、s2の2つのストリームを送信し、かつ、送信装置が、2つの符号化器を有している場合の「ブロック符号を用いたとき、1つの符号化後のブロックに必要なシンボル数、スロット数の変化を示した図」である。(このとき、伝送方式としては、シングルキャリア伝送、OFDMのようなマルチキャリア伝送、いずれを用いてもよい。)
図35に示すように、ブロック符号における1つの符号化後のブロックを構成するビット数を6000ビットであるとする。この6000ビットを送信するためには、変調方式がQPSKのとき3000シンボル、16QAMのとき1500シンボル、64QAMのとき1000シンボルが必要となる。
ここでは、規則的に位相を変更する方法のために用意する位相変更値(または、位相変更セット)の数を5とする。つまり、図3および図12の送信装置の位相変更部のために、5つの位相変更値(または、位相変更セット)を用意するものとする(実施の形態1から実施の形態4における「周期」となる)(図6のように、プリコーディング後のベースバンド信号z2’のみに位相変更を行う場合、周期5の位相変更を行うためには、5つの位相変更値を用意すればよい。また、図26のように、プリコーディング後のベースバンド信号z1’およびz2’の両者に対し位相変更を行う場合、1スロットのために、2つの位相変更値が必要となる。この2つの位相変更値を位相変更セットとよぶ。したがって、この場合、周期5の位相変更を行うためには、5つの位相変更セットを用意すればよい)。この5つの位相変更値(または、位相変更セット)をPHASE[0], PHASE[1], PHASE[2],PHASE[3], PHASE[4]とあらわすものとする。

以上のように、符号化後のブロックと乗じる位相の関係付けを行うことで、符号化ブロックを伝送するために使用する位相にかたよりがなくなるため、受信装置において、データの受信品質が向上するという効果を得ることができる。
特に、規則的に位相を変更する方法を選択した(サブ)キャリア群では、本実施の形態を実施するとよい。
(実施の形態B1)
以下では、上記各実施の形態で示した送信方法及び受信方法の応用例とそれを用いたシステムの構成例を説明する。
また、本実施の形態の受信機3700は、復調部3702で復調し、誤り訂正の復号を行うことで得られた多重化データ(場合によっては、復調部3702で復調されて得られる信号に対して誤り訂正復号を行わないこともある。また、受信機3700は、誤り訂正復号後に他の信号処理が施されることもある。以降について、同様の表現を行っている部分についても、この点は同様である。)に含まれるデータ、または、そのデータに相当するデータ(例えば、データを圧縮することによって得られたデータ)や、動画、音声を加工して得られたデータを、磁気ディスク、光ディスク、不揮発性の半導体メモリ等の記録メディアに記録する記録部(ドライブ)3708を備える。ここで光ディスクとは、例えばDVD(Digital Versatile Disc)やBD(Blu-ray Disc)等の、レーザ光を用いて情報の記憶と読み出しがなされる記録メディアである。磁気ディスクとは、例えばFD(Floppy Disk)(登録商標)やハードディスク(Hard Disk)等の、磁束を用いて磁性体を磁化することにより情報を記憶する記録メディアである。不揮発性の半導体メモリとは、例えばフラッシュメモリや強誘電体メモリ(Ferroelectric Random Access Memory)等の、半導体素子により構成された記録メディアであり、フラッシュメモリを用いたSDカードやFlash SSD(Solid State Drive)などが挙げられる。なお、ここで挙げた記録メディアの種類はあくまでその一例であり、上記の記録メディア以外の記録メディアを用いて記録を行っても良いことは言うまでもない。
さらに、受信機3700は、ユーザ操作の入力を受け付ける操作入力部3710を備える。受信機3700は、ユーザの操作に応じて操作入力部3710に入力される制御信号に基づいて、電源のON/OFFの切り替えや、受信するチャネルの切り替え、字幕表示の有無や表示する言語の切り替え、音声出力部3706から出力される音量の変更等の様々な動作の切り替えや、受信可能なチャネルの設定等の設定の変更を行う。
(多重化データ)
次に、多重化データの構造の一例について詳細に説明する。放送に用いられるデータ構造としてはMPEG2-トランスポートストリーム(TS)が一般的であり、ここではMPEG2-TSを例に挙げて説明する。しかし、上記各実施の形態で示した送信方法及び受信方法で伝送される多重化データのデータ構造はMPEG2-TSに限られず、他のいかなるデータ構造であっても上記の各実施の形態で説明した効果を得られることは言うまでもない。
図43は、その多重化データ情報ファイルの構成を示す図である。多重化データ情報ファイルは、図43に示すように多重化データの管理情報であり、多重化データと1対1に対応し、多重化データ情報、ストリーム属性情報とエントリマップから構成される。

本明細書において、「∀」は全称記号(universal quantifier)をあらわしており、「∃」は存在記号(existential quantifier)をあらわしている。
複素平面を利用すると、複素数の極座標による表示として極形式で表示できる。複素数 z = a + jb (a、bはともに実数であり、jは虚数単位である)に、複素平面上の点 (a, b) を対応させたとき、この点が極座標で[r, θ] とあらわされるなら、
a=r×cosθ、
b=r×sinθ
が成り立ち、r は z の絶対値 (r = |z|) であり、θ が偏角 (argument)となる。そして、z = a + jbは、rejθとあらわされる。
本発明の説明において、ベースバンド信号、s1、s2、z1、z2は複素信号となるが、複素信号とは、同相信号をI、直交信号をQとしたとき、複素信号はI + jQ(jは虚数単位)とあらわされることになる。このとき、Iがゼロとなってもよいし、Qがゼロとなってもよい。
