Abstract
Description
図1は、実施の形態における無線通信システムの構成例を示す図である。図1に示すように、本実施の形態における無線通信システムは、基地局eNBと、送信側のユーザ装置UEaと受信側のユーザ装置UEbとを有する。図1では、ユーザ装置UEaと受信側のユーザ装置UEbとを区別して記載しているが、送信側のユーザ装置UEa及び受信側のユーザ装置UEbは同一のD2D通信機能(D2D信号を送信する機能及び受信する機能)を有する。なお、以下の説明において、ユーザ装置UEa及びユーザ装置UEbのうち任意のユーザ装置を「ユーザ装置UE」と呼ぶ。
本実施の形態におけるユーザ装置UEがD2D通信を行う際に用いるD2D用物理チャネル構成について説明する。なお、以下に説明するD2D用物理チャネル構成(1)は、主に5Gの無線リソースとD2D用の無線リソースとをオーバーレイさせる運用が行われる際に用いられることを想定しており、D2D用物理チャネル構成(2)は、D2D用専用キャリアのように、主に5Gの無線リソースとの干渉を考慮する必要がない運用が行われる際に用いられることを想定している。
D2D通信に用いる物理チャネル構成を説明する前に、まず、5Gで検討されている物理チャネル構成について説明する。
続いて、D2D用物理チャネル構成(1)について複数の構成例を説明する。なお、以下の説明において「D2D用物理チャネル構成(1)」は、D2D用物理チャネル構成(1-1)~(1-5)を含む意味で使用する。
図3A、B及びCは、実施の形態におけるD2D用物理チャネル構成(1-1)を示す図である。図3A、B及びCに示すように、本実施の形態では、5Gの物理チャネル構成の「B」領域に該当するシンボルのうち、前半のシンボルにD2D用パイロット信号(SL(Sidelink) Pilot)チャネル及びD2D用制御信号(SL control)チャネルがマッピングされ、後半のシンボルにD2D用データ(SL data)チャネルがマッピングされる物理チャネル構成を用いるようにしてもよい。また、5Gの物理チャネル構成の「B」領域に該当するシンボルのうち、先頭の1以上のシンボルはガード区間(Guard Period)に設定されるようにしてもよいし、特にガード区間を設定しないようにしてもよい。図3A、B及びCの例は、先頭の1以上のシンボルをガード区間に設定した場合の物理チャネル構成例を図示している。
図4A及びBは、実施の形態におけるD2D用物理チャネル構成(1-2)を示す図である。図4A及びBは、図3A、B及びCと異なり、「B」領域に多用途領域が含まれていない5Gの物理チャネル構成に対応するD2D用物理チャネル構成を図示したものである。D2D用物理チャネル構成(1-2)は、D2D用物理チャネル構成(1-1)と同様に、5Gの物理チャネル構成の「B」領域に該当するシンボルのうち、前半のシンボルにD2D用パイロット信号チャネル及びD2D用物理制御チャネルがマッピングされ、後半のシンボルにD2D用データ(SL data)チャネルがマッピングされる。
図5A及びBは、実施の形態におけるD2D用物理チャネル構成(1-3)を示す図である。図5A及びBに示すように、本実施の形態では、5Gの物理チャネル構成の「B」領域から多用途領域を除いたシンボルのうち、前半のシンボルにD2D用パイロット信号チャネル及びD2D用物理制御チャネルがマッピングされ、後半のシンボルにD2D用物理データチャネルがマッピングされる物理チャネル構成を用いるようにしてもよい。また、図3A、B及びC及び図4A及びBと同様に、後半のシンボルに、受信側のユーザ装置UEbから送信側のユーザ装置UEaにフィードバックを行うためのフィードバック用チャネルが更にマッピングされるようにしてもよい。
図6A及びBは、実施の形態におけるD2D用物理チャネル構成(1-4)を示す図である。図6A及びBに示すように、5Gにおいても、従来のLTEにおけるEPDCCH(Enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel)のように「B」領域で下り制御信号が送信されることが想定される。
図7は、実施の形態におけるD2D用物理チャネル構成(1-5)を示す図である。本実施の形態では、1サブフレーム内にD2D用パイロット信号チャネル、D2D用物理制御チャネル及びD2D用物理データチャネルをマッピングするのではなく、複数のサブフレームを用いて、D2D用パイロット信号チャネル、D2D用物理制御チャネル及びD2D用物理データチャネルをマッピングするようにしてもよい。図7の例は、D2D用パイロット信号チャネル及びD2D用物理制御チャネルが最初の2つのサブフレームにマッピングされ、D2D用物理データチャネルが後半の4つのサブフレームにマッピングされる場合を図示している。
前述のように、D2D用物理チャネル構成(1)は、主に5Gの無線リソースとD2D用の無線リソースとをオーバーレイさせる運用が行われる際に用いられることを想定している。そこで、本実施の形態では、ユーザ装置UEは、5G用に割当てられる無線リソース全体のうち、D2Dリソースプールに設定されている範囲で5G用の無線リソースとして割り当てられていない無線リソースを、D2D用の無線リソースとみなしてD2D信号の送受信を行うようにする。なお、D2Dリソースプールは、従来のLTEと同様、報知情報でユーザ装置UEに通知されたもの、又は、予め定義されたものが使用される。
続いて、本実施の形態におけるD2D用物理チャネル構成(2)について説明する。D2D用物理チャネル構成(2)は、D2D通信専用に割当てられているキャリア、又は、全ての無線リソースをD2D用の無線リソースとみなすことが可能なキャリア(例えば、ダイナミックTDDが非適用で、サブフレーム全体をD2D用無線リソースに用いることが許可されたキャリアなど)のように、主に5Gの無線リソースとの干渉を考慮する必要がない運用が行われる際に用いられることを想定している。
従来のD2D(Rel-12のD2D)では、サブフレーム単位でリソースプールが設定されていた。一方、本実施の形態で用いられるD2D用物理チャネル構成(1)では、1サブフレーム全体がD2D用無線リソースに割り当てられるのではなく、シンボル単位で無線リソースが割当てられることになる。そこで、本実施の形態では、D2Dリソースプールを設定する場合、サブフレーム単位に加えて、シンボル単位でリソースプールを設定可能にしてもよい。より具体的には、報知情報等を介してユーザ装置UEに通知されるリソースプールに関する情報に、無線フレーム番号及びサブフレーム番号を示す情報に加えて、シンボル位置を示す情報を加えることで、時間軸上のリソースプールの開始点及び終了点を示すようにしてもよい。
前述の「(D2D用無線リソースの利用可否判定)」では、「B」領域の全部又は一部に5G用の無線リソースが割当てられていない場合に、当該「B」領域の全部又は一部をD2D用の無線リソースとみなすようにした。
5G用の無線リソースとD2D用の無線リソースとが周波数多重される場合、ユーザ装置UEは、5Gの通信に干渉を与えないようにD2D信号を送信することが望ましい。
D2Dは、送信側のユーザ装置UEaと受信側のユーザ装置UEbとの間で共通の周波数帯域を用いる半二重通信(Half Duplex)を採用している。そのため、D2D信号を送信中のユーザ装置UEは、他のユーザ装置UEから送信されるD2D信号を受信することができない。D2Dの場合、データを届けたい相手のユーザ装置UEが必ずしも待ち受け状態であるとは限らないため、D2D通信の低遅延化を図るためには、可能な限り受信側のユーザ装置UEでD2D信号が受信されやすくする必要がある。
図12は、D2D用無線リソースの空き状態を確認してからD2D信号を送信する方法を説明するための図である。ユーザ装置UEは、D2D信号を送信する際に、D2D用物理制御チャネルがマッピングされている無線リソース領域をモニタすることで、D2D用無線リソースが空いているか否かを確認し、D2D用無線リソースが空いている(他のユーザ装置UEがD2D信号を送信していない)と判断した場合に、次のサブフレームでD2D信号を送信するようにしてもよい。また、ユーザ装置UEは、D2D用無線リソースが空いているか否かの確認を複数の連続したサブフレームで行い、複数の連続したサブフレームでD2D用無線リソースが空いている場合に、次のサブフレームでD2D信号を送信するようにしてもよい。図12の例では、ユーザ装置UEは、D2D用無線リソースが空いているか否かの確認を2つの連続したサブフレームで行い、当該2つの連続したサブフレームでD2D用無線リソースが空いていることが確認できた場合に、次のサブフレームでD2D信号を送信している。
ユーザ装置UEは、D2D信号を送信する際に、同一のD2D信号を繰り返し(Repetition)送信するようにしてもよい。同一のD2D信号を繰り返し送信する場合、D2D用の無線リソースに利用できるサブフレームのうちユーザ装置UEが任意に選択したサブフレームで繰り返し送信するようにしてもよい。また、ユーザ装置UEは、最初にD2D信号を送信した際に用いたサブフレームにおける周波数方向の無線リソースと同一帯域の無線リソースを用いて、2回目以降のD2D信号を繰り返し送信するようにしてもよい。また、ユーザ装置UEは、予め定められた時間/周波数ホッピングパターンに従ってD2D信号を繰り返し送信するようにしてもよい。
ここで、本実施の形態では、ユーザ装置UEは、前述の「(D2D用無線リソースの利用可否判定)」によりD2D用の無線リソースとみなされたサブフレームでD2D信号を送信する。つまり、ユーザ装置UEは、同一のD2D信号を繰り返し送信しようとしても、D2D用の無線リソースに利用できる無線リソース(サブフレーム)が少ない場合、最初のD2D信号を送信してから、最後のD2D信号を送信し終えるまでに長時間要してしまう可能性がある。
前述のように、ユーザ装置UEは、D2D信号を繰り返し送信する場合に、予め定められた時間/周波数ホッピングパターンに従ってD2D信号を繰り返し送信するようにしてもよい。
本実施の形態では、ユーザ装置UEは、前述の「(D2D用無線リソースの利用可否判定)」によりD2D用の無線リソースとみなされたサブフレームでD2D信号の送受信を行う。
以上説明した実施の形態の動作を実行するユーザ装置UE及び基地局eNBの機能構成例を説明する。
図16は、実施の形態に係るユーザ装置の機能構成例を示す図である。図16に示すように、ユーザ装置UEは、信号送信部101と、信号受信部102と、判定部103と、取得部104とを有する。なお、図16は、ユーザ装置UEにおいて本発明の実施の形態に特に関連する機能部のみを示すものであり、少なくともLTEに準拠した動作を行うための図示しない機能も有するものである。また、図16に示す機能構成は一例に過ぎない。本実施の形態に係る動作を実行できるのであれば、機能区分及び機能部の名称はどのようなものでもよい。
図17は、実施の形態に係る基地局の機能構成例を示す図である。図17に示すように、基地局eNBは、信号送信部201と、信号受信部202と、リソース割当部203と、指示部204とを有する。なお、図17は、基地局eNBにおいて本発明の実施の形態に特に関連する機能部のみを示すものであり、少なくともLTEに準拠した動作を行うための図示しない機能も有するものである。また、図17に示す機能構成は一例に過ぎない。本実施の形態に係る動作を実行できるのであれば、機能区分及び機能部の名称はどのようなものでもよい。
上記実施の形態の説明に用いたブロック図(図16及び図17)は、機能単位のブロックを示している。これらの機能ブロック(構成部)は、ハードウェア及び/又はソフトウェアの任意の組み合わせによって実現される。また、各機能ブロックの実現手段は特に限定されない。すなわち、各機能ブロックは、物理的及び/又は論理的に結合した1つの装置により実現されてもよいし、物理的及び/又は論理的に分離した2つ以上の装置を直接的及び/又は間接的に(例えば、有線及び/又は無線)で接続し、これら複数の装置により実現されてもよい。
以上説明した実施の形態によれば、D2D通信をサポートする無線通信システムにおけるユーザ装置であって、基地局との間の下り通信及び上り通信で共用される無線フレームであって、下りリンクのパイロット信号及び下りリンクの制御信号がマッピングされる第一の領域と、下りリンクのユーザデータ又は上りリンクのデータがマッピングされる第二の領域とを含む無線フレームのうち、前記第一の領域を受信することで前記第二の領域でD2D信号の送信が可能か否かを判定する判定部と、前記判定部によりD2D信号の送信が可能であると判定された場合に、D2D用物理制御チャネルとD2D用物理データチャネルとが時間多重された無線フレームを用いて前記第二の領域でD2D信号を送信する送信部と、を有するユーザ装置が提供される。このユーザ装置UEにより、低遅延なD2D通信を実現することが可能な技術が提供される。
前記判定ステップによりD2D信号の送信が可能であると判定された場合に、D2D用物理制御チャネルとD2D用物理データチャネルとが時間多重された無線フレームを用いて前記第二の領域でD2D信号を送信する送信ステップと、を有する通信方法が提供される。この通信方法により、低遅延なD2D通信を実現することが可能な技術が提供される。
D2D用物理制御チャネルは、PSCCHであってもよい。D2D用物理データチャネルはPSSCHであってもよい。また、D2D用制御信号はSCI(Sidelink Control Information)であってもよい。また、制御信号と制御情報とは同義であってもよい。
