The present invention relates to a cellular communication system in which a plurality of base stations having cells are provided and a mobile device communicates with a base station in each cell, and in particular, an adjacent base station when a femtocell base station is used. And improvement of interference with mobile equipment.
This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2009-104912 filed on Apr. 23, 2009, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

 近年、半径数十m程度のきわめて小さな範囲のセルを有するフェムトセル(femtocell)が注目されている。すなわち、現状のセルラー通信システムでは、半径数百m~十数kmのセルを有する基地局を設けて、移動機が各セル内の基地局と通信を行うようにして、マクロセル・ネットワークを構築している。しかしながら、このようなマクロセル・ネットワークでは、ビルの中、地下街、トンネル等では、電波強度が微弱となり、通信不能になる場所が生じてくる。 In recent years, a femtocell having a very small range of cells with a radius of several tens of meters has attracted attention. In other words, in the current cellular communication system, a base station having a cell with a radius of several hundred m to several tens of km is provided, and a mobile station communicates with a base station in each cell to construct a macro cell network. ing. However, in such a macro cell network, in a building, an underground shopping center, a tunnel, and the like, there are places where radio wave intensity becomes weak and communication is impossible.

 フェムトセル基地局は、通常の基地局と同様の機能を有し、きわめて小さなセルの通信エリアを簡単に確保できる。このため、マクロセル・ネットワークでは通信不能になる場所に、フェムトセル基地局を設置すれば、通信エリアを容易に確保できる(例えば特許文献1)。また、人口過密地域や、ビジネス街では、通信量が増大する。このような場合にも、フェムトセル基地局を配置して、通信量の増大に対処できる。 The femtocell base station has the same function as a normal base station, and can easily secure a communication area of a very small cell. For this reason, if a femtocell base station is installed in a place where communication is impossible in a macrocell network, a communication area can be easily secured (for example, Patent Document 1). In addition, communication volume increases in overpopulated areas and business districts. Even in such a case, a femtocell base station can be arranged to cope with an increase in communication volume.

 このように、フェムトセルは、通信エリアの確保と通信量の増大に容易に対応できる。ところが、フェムトセル基地局が設置されると、セル間での干渉の問題が生じてくる可能性がある。そこで、例えば特許文献1には、基地局では、隣接セルの基地局からの基準信号の受信レベルを測定し、これを基に伝搬損失値を求め、送信電力制御を行うことが記載されている。 Thus, the femtocell can easily cope with securing a communication area and increasing the amount of communication. However, when a femtocell base station is installed, there may be a problem of interference between cells. Thus, for example, Patent Document 1 describes that a base station measures the reception level of a reference signal from a base station in an adjacent cell, obtains a propagation loss value based on this, and performs transmission power control. .

特開2008-283648号公報JP 2008-283648 A

 特許文献1に示されているように、隣接セルの基地局からの基準信号の受信レベルを測定し、これを基に伝搬損失値を求め、送信電力制御を行うことで、基地局間での干渉の問題を改善できる。しかしながら、フェムトセル基地局を設けた場合には、基地局間での信号の干渉のみならず、隣接セルと移動機との干渉が生じる可能性がある。 As shown in Patent Document 1, a reception level of a reference signal from a base station of an adjacent cell is measured, a propagation loss value is obtained based on this, and transmission power control is performed. Improve interference problems. However, when a femtocell base station is provided, not only signal interference between base stations but also interference between adjacent cells and mobile devices may occur.

 上述の課題を鑑み、本発明は、隣接セルと移動機との干渉を改善できるセルラー方式の通信システム、該システムの基地局、及び該システムの電力制御方法を提供することを目的とする。 In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a cellular communication system that can improve interference between a neighboring cell and a mobile device, a base station of the system, and a power control method of the system.

The base station adjacent to the base station has a means for transmitting a reference signal and broadcast information including the transmission level of the reference signal, and the base station of the cell where the mobile station is located transmits from the adjacent base station.

 本発明はまた、隣接する基地局からの基準信号と、当該基準信号の送信レベルを含む報知情報を受信する受信手段と、隣接する基地局から送信される基準信号の受信レベルを測定する測定手段と、該基準信号の受信レベルと、受信した報知情報を復号して得られた送信レベルとから伝搬損失値を算出し、移動機の最大許容送信電力を決定する移動機最大許容送信電力決定手段と、該最大許容送信電力を移動機に通知する手段とを備えることを特徴とするセルラー方式の通信システムの基地局を提供する。 The present invention also provides a receiving means for receiving a reference signal from an adjacent base station, broadcast information including the transmission level of the reference signal, and a measuring means for measuring the reception level of the reference signal transmitted from the adjacent base station.

 本発明によれば、移動機が在圏するセルの基地局は、隣接する基地局からの基準信号の受信レベル測定と、当該基準信号の送信レベルを含む報知情報の受信とを行い、これらを基に伝搬損失値を算出し、この伝搬損失値により、移動機の最大許容送信電力を決定し、移動機に通知し、移動機は、通知された最大許容送信電力に応じて、送信電力を制御するようにしている。これにより、移動機から隣接する基地局への干渉を抑制することができる。 According to the present invention, the base station of the cell where the mobile station is located measures the reception level of the reference signal from the adjacent base station, receives the broadcast information including the transmission level of the reference signal, and performs these operations.

 以下、本発明の実施の形態について図面を参照しながら説明する。本発明は、フェムトセル基地局を含むセルラー方式の通信システムに適用できる。
 図1は、本発明の第1の実施形態の概要を示すものである。図1において、基地局(装置)11は、例えば半径数十m程度のきわめて小さな範囲のセル10を有するフェムト基地局である。
 移動機22は、基地局11のセル10内に位置している。
 基地局21は、基地局11に隣接する基地局(装置)である。
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The present invention can be applied to a cellular communication system including a femtocell base station.
FIG. 1 shows an outline of the first embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, a base station (apparatus) 11 is a femto base station having a very small range cell 10 with a radius of about several tens of meters, for example.
The mobile device 22 is located in the cell 10 of the base station 11.
The base station 21 is a base station (apparatus) adjacent to the base station 11.

 セル10内に在圏する移動機22は、基地局11と通信を行っている。
 ここで、移動機22の送信電力が大きいと、移動機22からの信号が隣接する基地局21のセルに届き、信号の干渉を生じさせる可能性がある。
A mobile device 22 located in the cell 10 communicates with the base station 11.
Here, if the transmission power of the mobile device 22 is large, the signal from the mobile device 22 may reach the cell of the adjacent base station 21 and cause signal interference.

 そこで、本発明の第1の実施形態では、基地局11は、隣接する基地局21からの基準信号の受信レベルの測定と送信レベル報知情報の受信とを行い、これらを基に、隣接する基地局21と基地局11との間の伝搬損失値を測定している。そして、基地局11は、測定した伝搬損失値に基づいて移動機22の最大許容送信電力を決定し、移動機22に通知している。
 移動機22は、基地局11から送られてきた最大許容送信電力値を受信して、送信電力を制御している。これにより、移動機22と隣接する基地局21との信号の干渉が防止できる。
Therefore, in the first embodiment of the present invention, the base station 11 measures the reception level of the reference signal from the adjacent base station 21 and receives the transmission level notification information, and based on these, the adjacent base station 21 A propagation loss value between the station 21 and the base station 11 is measured. Then, the base station 11 determines the maximum allowable transmission power of the mobile device 22 based on the measured propagation loss value and notifies the mobile device 22 of it.
The mobile device 22 receives the maximum allowable transmission power value transmitted from the base station 11 and controls the transmission power. Thereby, signal interference between the mobile station 22 and the adjacent base station 21 can be prevented.

 すなわち、基地局11がフェムトセル基地局の場合には、セル10の範囲は非常に狭い。よって、隣接する基地局21と基地局11との間の伝搬損失値は、隣接する基地局21と移動機22との間の伝搬損失値と略々等しいと推定できる。
 このことから、基地局11側で測定した隣接する基地局21と基地局11との間の伝搬損失値に基づいて、移動機22の最大許容送信電力を決定できる。
That is, when the base station 11 is a femtocell base station, the range of the cell 10 is very narrow. Therefore, it can be estimated that the propagation loss value between the adjacent base station 21 and the base station 11 is substantially equal to the propagation loss value between the adjacent base station 21 and the mobile device 22.
Thus, the maximum allowable transmission power of the mobile device 22 can be determined based on the propagation loss value between the adjacent base station 21 and the base station 11 measured on the base station 11 side.

 図2は、本発明の第1の実施形態における基地局11の構成を示すものである。

The transmission level of the reference signal is decoded from the notification signal and notified to the propagation loss measuring unit 13.

The propagation loss from the station 21 to the base station 11 is measured, and the measured value of the propagation loss is notified to the mobile device maximum transmission power determination unit 14.

 移動機最大送信電力決定部14は、伝搬損失測定部13から受けた伝搬損失の測定値と、基地局11に設定された、隣接する基地局21への干渉許容レベルを基に、移動機22の最大許容送信電力を決定する。
 隣接する基地局21への干渉許容レベルは、バックホール(基地局間や基地局とコアネットワークを接続する中継用ネットワーク)などを介して、隣接する基地局21から受信しても良い。
 決定した移動機22の最大許容送信電力は、基地局機能部15に対して通知される。
The mobile device maximum transmission power determining unit 14 determines the mobile device 22 based on the measured value of the propagation loss received from the propagation loss measuring unit 13 and the allowable interference level to the adjacent base station 21 set in the base station 11. The maximum allowable transmission power of is determined.
The permissible interference level to adjacent base stations 21 may be received from adjacent base stations 21 via a backhaul (between base stations or a relay network connecting the base stations and the core network).

The base station function unit 15 has a function of notifying the mobile device 22 of the maximum allowable transmission power of the mobile device determined by the mobile device maximum transmission power determining unit 14 using notification information. Other functions are the same as those of known base stations.

 次に、本発明の第1の実施形態の動作について説明する。
 図2を参照すると、下り信号受信部12が測定した、隣接する基地局21から送信された基準信号の受信レベルをR(dBm)とし、また、隣接する基地局21の報知信号から復号した基準信号の送信レベルをR0(dBm)とすると、伝搬損失測定部13では、伝搬損失の測定値を、PL=R0-R(dBm)のように決定する。
Next, the operation of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described.
Referring to FIG. 2, the reception level of the reference signal transmitted from the adjacent base station 21 measured by the downlink signal receiving unit 12 is R (dBm), and the reference decoded from the broadcast signal of the adjacent base station 21 is used. When the signal transmission level is R0 (dBm), the propagation loss measurement unit 13 determines the measurement value of the propagation loss as PL = R0−R (dBm).

 上述のように、フェムトセルのような微小なセル半径を持つセルでは、基地局11と隣接する基地局21との間の伝搬損失と、移動機22と隣接する基地局21との間の伝搬損失は同等であると見なすことができる。 As described above, in a cell having a small cell radius such as a femto cell, the propagation loss between the base station 11 and the adjacent base station 21 and the propagation between the mobile station 22 and the adjacent base station 21 are as follows. Losses can be considered equivalent.

 移動機最大送信電力決定部14では、手動で設定された、または、バックホールを介して隣接セルから受信した、隣接する基地局21への干渉許容レベルをI(dBm)とすると、自セルに在圏する移動機22の最大許容送信電力として、Pmax=I+PL(dBm)を決定し、基地局機能部15に対して通知する。 In the mobile station maximum transmission power determination unit 14, if the interference tolerance level to the adjacent base station 21 set manually or received from the adjacent cell via the backhaul is I (dBm), the mobile station maximum transmission power determination unit 14 Pmax = I + PL (dBm) is determined as the maximum allowable transmission power of the mobile device 22 that is in the area, and is notified to the base station function unit 15.

  基地局機能部15では、移動機22に対し、最大許容送信電力をこのPmaxとするように、報知情報として「Pb≦Pmax」(Pbは上限電力)を移動機22に通知する。なお、ここでは、上限電力Pbを決める他の要因については述べない。
 移動機22が、この上限電力Pbを上限として送信電力制御を行うことによって、隣接するセルに対する干渉を抑制することが可能となる。
The base station function unit 15 notifies the mobile device 22 of “Pb ≦ Pmax” (Pb is an upper limit power) as broadcast information so that the maximum allowable transmission power is set to Pmax. Here, other factors that determine the upper limit power Pb are not described.
When the mobile device 22 performs transmission power control with the upper limit power Pb as an upper limit, it is possible to suppress interference with adjacent cells.

 上述のように、本発明の第1の実施形態では、隣接する基地局21からの基準信号の受信レベル測定と、当該基準信号の送信レベルを含む報知情報の受信とを行い、これらを基に伝搬損失値を算出し、この伝搬損失値により、セル10内の移動機22の最大許容送信電力を決定し、移動機22に通知するようにしている。これにより、移動機22から隣接するセルへの干渉を抑制することができる。 As described above, in the first embodiment of the present invention, the reception level measurement of the reference signal from the adjacent base station 21 and the reception of the broadcast information including the transmission level of the reference signal are performed. A propagation loss value is calculated, and based on this propagation loss value, the maximum allowable transmission power of the mobile device 22 in the cell 10 is determined and notified to the mobile device 22. Thereby, interference from the mobile device 22 to an adjacent cell can be suppressed.

 本発明は、上述した実施形態に限定されるものではなく、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲内で様々な変形や応用が可能である。 The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and applications are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

 本発明によれば、移動機が在圏するセルの基地局は、隣接する基地局からの基準信号の受信レベル測定と、当該基準信号の送信レベルを含む報知情報の受信とを行い、これらを基に伝搬損失値を算出し、この伝搬損失値により、移動機の最大許容送信電力を決定して移動機に通知し、移動機は、通知された最大許容送信電力に応じて送信電力を制御するので、移動機から隣接する基地局への干渉を抑制することができる。 According to the present invention, the base station of the cell where the mobile station is located measures the reception level of the reference signal from the adjacent base station, receives the broadcast information including the transmission level of the reference signal, and performs these operations. Based on this propagation loss value, the maximum allowable transmission power of the mobile device is determined and notified to the mobile device, and the mobile device controls the transmission power according to the notified maximum allowable transmission power. Therefore, interference from the mobile device to the adjacent base station can be suppressed.
