Description

  The present invention connects a centralized base station and a plurality of remote base stations arranged at different positions via an optical transmission line, and the plurality of remote base stations and a terminal station communicate at the same time. The present invention relates to a diversity communication apparatus that combines signals received from a plurality of remote base stations and combines signals received from a plurality of remote base stations at a terminal station to improve bidirectional communication quality.

  In recent wireless communication, it is necessary to efficiently perform communication with fewer frequency resources as the available frequency becomes tighter. In general, in order to expand the communicable area in a plane, the areas are divided as shown in FIG. 6, base stations are arranged for each area, and different frequencies are assigned to the respective areas, so that no interference occurs. There are ways to enable communication. In this example, each region has a hexagonal shape, the frequency F1 is used in the central region, and the frequencies F2 to F7 are used in the surrounding region to avoid interference, so a total of seven types of frequencies are required. . However, since actual frequency resources are finite, such planar development is not always possible. Furthermore, in order to maintain communication even when the terminal station moves between the respective regions in FIG. 6, a handover process for changing the base station with which the terminal station communicates occurs, and the system configuration becomes complicated.

  In view of this, SFN (Single Frequency Network) has been proposed in which the area in which communication can be performed at a single frequency is expanded. As shown in FIG. 7, the SFN has a configuration in which remote base stations using a single frequency F1 are arranged in each region, and each remote base station is connected to a centralized base station via an optical transmission line. In this configuration, in the downlink in which a signal is transmitted from the base station to the terminal station, a signal from the concentrated base station is transmitted to each remote base station, and is simultaneously transmitted from each remote base station to reach the terminal station. In the uplink in which a signal is transmitted from the terminal station to the base station, the signal transmitted from the terminal station is received by each remote base station, further reaches the concentrated base station, and is diversity-combined at the concentrated base station. As a result, a communicable area using a single frequency can be expanded in a plane. Further, since the remote base station has a simple configuration that only relays uplink and downlink signals, the SFN can reduce the overall device cost. Further, even if the terminal station moves in the area at the centralized base station, communication can be maintained without recognizing the movement, so that the handover process becomes unnecessary.

FIG. 8 shows a configuration example of a conventional diversity communication system that realizes SFN.
In the figure, the centralized base station 10 and the remote base stations 40a, 40b, 40c are connected via downlink optical transmission paths 30a, 30b, 30c and uplink optical transmission paths 31a, 31b, 31c. The terminal stations 60a and 60b are connected to the centralized base station 10 via the remote base stations 40a, 40b, and 40c.

First, downlink signals will be described.
The centralized base station 10 converts the transmission data of the signal processing unit 11 into a radio signal by the modulation unit 12. This radio signal is converted into an optical signal by the E / O converter 13 and then distributed by the optical coupler 14, and reaches the remote base stations 40a, 40b, and 40c via the optical transmission paths 30a, 30b, and 30c, respectively.

  The remote base station 40a (the same applies to the remote base stations 40b and 40c) converts the optical signal that has arrived from the optical transmission line 30a into an electrical signal by the O / E converter 41. Among these electrical signals, a signal having a radio signal frequency is transmitted as a radio signal via the switch 42 and the antenna 43, and is received by the terminal stations 60a and 60b. The switch 42 performs transmission / reception switching according to a control signal from the control unit 44.

Next, uplink signals will be described.
The transmission signals of the terminal stations 60a and 60b reach the remote base stations 40a, 40b and 40c. The remote base station 40a (the same applies to the remote base stations 40b and 40c) inputs the signal received by the antenna 43 to the E / O converter 45 via the switch 42, converts it into an optical signal, and transmits it via the optical transmission line 31a. To the central base station 10.

  The central base station 10 also receives optical signals from the remote base stations 40b and 40c as well as optical signals from the remote base station 40a. These optical signals are converted into electric signals by the O / E converters 15a, 15b, and 15c, respectively, diversity-combined and demodulated by the demodulator 16, converted into binary data, and output to the signal processor 11.

  Note that, as a diversity combining method of a plurality of signals input to the demodulator 16, selective combining for selecting a signal having a high level described in Non-Patent Document 1, equal gain combining for combining phases, signal noise, and the like. A maximum ratio synthesis or the like that maximizes the ratio is used.

  In a conventional diversity communication device, a difference occurs in each path of a radio signal due to a positional relationship between a remote base station and a terminal station, and an optical transmission path length connecting a centralized base station and a plurality of remote base stations is also different. Conceivable. Since the concentrated base stations receive signals having different relative delay times due to path differences from the terminal station in the uplink, even if diversity combining is performed, there is a risk that communication quality may not be sufficiently improved due to interference with each other. There is. Also, in the downlink, due to the same path difference, the terminal station receives signals having different relative delay times for each remote base station, so that communication quality may be degraded.

  In Patent Document 1, a method of correcting a transmission line delay difference between a plurality of remote base stations is devised, but this is intended to correct only a transmission line delay time in an optical transmission line section. Therefore, the delay time difference from the plurality of remote base stations to the terminal station, which similarly affects the reception quality, is not considered. In addition, these devices include a modulation / demodulation circuit and a delay circuit for each transmission system in order to perform delay control. Therefore, in order to correct the signal delay time in a system that controls a large number of remote base stations such as SFN, as many modulation / demodulation circuits as the number of remote base stations are required, and the apparatus configuration may be large. Conceivable.

  Furthermore, in the conventional diversity communication apparatus, it is conceivable to receive a signal from a remote base station that does not have a terminal station in the vicinity, so that a signal unnecessary for combining is also received. Since the signal received by the remote base station located far from the terminal station has a low level and a large relative delay time, the desired signal is regarded as a simple interference signal, and communication quality may be deteriorated. is there.

Yoichi Saito, Modulation and Demodulation of Digital Wireless Communication, IEICE, pp.189-202

  In the conventional diversity communication apparatus, a difference occurs in each path of the radio signal due to the positional relationship between the remote base station and the terminal station, and the optical transmission path length connecting the centralized base station and a plurality of remote base stations is also different.

FIG. 1 shows a configuration example of Embodiment 1 of a diversity communication apparatus of the present invention.
In the figure, the centralized base station 10 and the remote base stations 40a, 40b, 40c are connected via downlink optical transmission paths 30a, 30b, 30c and uplink optical transmission paths 31a, 31b, 31c. The terminal stations 60a and 60b are connected to the centralized base station 10 via the remote base stations 40a, 40b, and 40c.

  The signal processing unit 11, the modulation unit 12, the E / O converter 13, the optical coupler 14, the O / E converters 15a, 15b, and 15c, and the demodulation unit 16 constituting the centralized base station 10 are the same as those in the conventional centralized station shown in FIG. It has the same function as each part of the base station 10. An O / E converter 41, a switch 42, an antenna 43, a control unit 44, and an E / O converter 45 constituting the remote base station 40a (the same applies to the remote base stations 40b and 40c) are the conventional remote base shown in FIG. It has the same function as each part of the station 40a.

  The feature of this embodiment is that the delay detection / adjustment unit 20 is arranged between the O / E converters 15a, 15b, 15c of the centralized base station 10 and the demodulation unit 16, and arrives from the remote base stations 40a, 40b, 40c.

The relative delay time between downlink signals is adjusted according to the delay time.

First, uplink signals will be described.
The transmission signals of the terminal stations 60a and 60b reach the remote base stations 40a, 40b and 40c. The remote base station 40a (the same applies to the remote base stations 40b and 40c) inputs the signal received by the antenna 43 to the E / O converter 45 via the switch 42, converts it into an optical signal, and transmits it via the optical transmission line 31a.

Times t0, t1, and t2 are calculated. The configuration for detecting these relative delay times can be selected as appropriate according to the operating radio system and communication system.

  The output timing adjustment unit 24 of the delay detection / adjustment unit 20 adjusts the output timing of each reception signal so that the reception timing in the demodulation unit 16 is aligned based on the relative delay times t0, t1, and t2 of each reception signal. Output to demodulator 16. Further, the relative delay times t0, t1, and t2 of the received signals are temporarily stored and used for transmission timing adjustment in the delay control units 21a, 21b, and 21c. Each received signal whose timing is adjusted is diversity-combined and demodulated by the demodulator 16 and finally outputted as binary data to the signal processor 11.

Next, downlink signals will be described.
The centralized base station 10 converts the transmission data of the signal processing unit 11 into a radio signal by the modulation unit 12. This radio signal is converted into an optical signal by the E / O converter 13 and then distributed by the optical coupler 14, and the transmission timing is adjusted by the delay control units 21a, 21b, and 21c, respectively, and the optical transmission lines 30a, 30b, and 30c are transmitted. To the remote base stations 40a, 40b and 40c. In the delay control units 21a, 21b, and 21c, based on the uplink relative delay times t0, t1, and t2 given from the delay detection / adjustment unit 20, the terminal stations 60a, 60b are connected via the remote base stations 40a, 40b, and 40c. The delay time is set so that the reception time of the signal arriving at 1 falls within a predetermined time difference.

FIG. 3 shows a configuration example of the delay control unit 21.
In the figure, a delay control unit 21 switches between a plurality of optical delay devices 25 that give a predetermined delay time to an optical signal and whether or not to pass the input optical signal through each optical delay device 25 and outputs it to the next stage.

  The remote base stations 40a, 40b, 40c, the downlink optical transmission lines 30a, 30b, 30c, and the central base station 10 connected via the uplink optical transmission lines 31a, 31b, 31c and the terminal stations 60a, 60b Since the relative delay time caused by the path difference between them is reversible in transmission and reception, there is no problem even if the relative delay time detected at the time of reception is used at the time of transmission. The plurality of optical signals given delay arrive at the remote base stations 40a, 40b, and 40c via the downlink optical transmission lines 30a, 30b, and 30c.

  The remote base station 40a (the same applies to the remote base stations 40b and 40c) converts the optical signal that has arrived from the optical transmission line 30a into an electrical signal by the O / E converter 41. Among these electrical signals, a signal having a radio signal frequency is transmitted as a radio signal via the switch 42 and the antenna 43, and is received by the terminal stations 60a and 60b. At this time, radio signals transmitted from the remote base stations 40a, 40b, and 40c are received by the terminal stations 60a and 60b within a predetermined relative delay time, and are diversity-combined.

  FIG. 4 shows a configuration example of Embodiment 2 of the diversity communication apparatus of the present invention. Since the remote base station and the terminal station are the same as those in the first embodiment, only the configuration example of the centralized base station 10 is shown here.

  In the present embodiment, when using FDMA (Frequency Division Multiplexing Access) or OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) in which a plurality of terminal stations communicate using different frequencies (subcarriers) at the same time, The delay time is adjusted for each frequency. That is, the uplink delay detection / adjustment unit 20 and the downlink delay control units 21a, 21b, and 21c according to the first embodiment are provided for each frequency. This includes the case where one terminal station uses a plurality of different frequencies (subcarriers).

  In the figure, in the uplink, the O / E converters 15a, 15b, and 15c of the centralized base station 10 convert the optical signals transmitted from the remote base stations 40a, 40b, and 40c into electrical signals, respectively, and the duplexers 51a , 51b and 51c, the signals are demultiplexed for each frequency and input to delay detection / adjustment units 20-1 to 20-n. The delay detection / adjustment units 20-1 to 20-n are provided for frequencies, and, similarly to the delay detection / adjustment unit 20 of the first embodiment, detect the relative delay time for each path, adjust the delay, and output the result It is. The signals delay-adjusted for each frequency by the delay detection / adjustment units 20-1 to 20-n are input to the multiplexers 52a, 52b, and 52c for each path, and are frequency-multiplexed. The data is input, diversity combined and demodulated, and finally output as binary data to the signal processing unit 11.

  In the downlink, the frequency multiplexed signal output from the modulation unit 12 is demultiplexed for each frequency by the demultiplexer 53 and is input to the E / O converters 13-1 to 13-n. The E / O converters 13-1 to 13-n are set to different wavelengths λ1 to λn, respectively. Here, downlink frequencies and wavelengths λ1 to λn correspond one-to-one. The optical signals of the respective wavelengths are distributed to the respective paths by the optical couplers 14-1 to 14-n, and the delay control units 21a-1, 21b-1, 21c-1 to 21a-n, 21b-n, and the like for the respective wavelengths. The transmission timing is adjusted by 21c-n, and is input to the optical multiplexers 54a, 54b, 54c for each path, wavelength-multiplexed, and reach the remote base stations 40a, 40b, 40c via the optical transmission paths 30a, 30b, 30c. To do.

  In the delay control units 21a-1, 21b-1, 21c-1, the remote base station based on the relative delay time of each uplink path given from the delay detection / adjustment unit 20-1 at the corresponding frequency and wavelength λ1 The delay time is set so that the reception time of the signal of each frequency reaching each terminal station 60a, 60b via 40a, 40b, 40c falls within a predetermined time difference. Similarly, the delay control units 21a-n, 21b-n, and 21c-n have delays corresponding to the relative delay times of the respective uplink paths given from the delay detection / adjustment unit 20-n at the corresponding frequency and wavelength λn. Control is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the delay detection / adjustment unit 20 of the centralized base station 10 according to the first embodiment calculates the relative delay times t0, t1, and t2 of the received signals transmitted through the remote base stations 40a, 40b, and 40c. In general, signals with a large relative delay time are considered to have a large distance attenuation. The same applies to the central base station 10 of the second embodiment for each frequency. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, the relative delay times t0, t1, t2 of the received signals of the respective paths are compared with the allowable delay time, and the received signal whose relative delay time exceeds the allowable delay time is not output to the demodulator 16. To control. On the other hand, the received signal whose relative delay time is within the allowable delay time is output to the demodulator 16 after delay adjustment so that the delay time is uniform. As a result, the demodulator 16 can perform diversity combining and demodulation processing only for received signals whose relative delay time is within the allowable delay time, and avoid deterioration in communication quality due to received signals with large relative delay time and distance attenuation. be able to.

  Further, the power supply of the downlink delay control unit 21 corresponding to the path of the received signal whose relative delay time exceeds the allowable delay time in the uplink is stopped, and the delay control unit corresponding to the path whose relative delay time is within the allowable delay time Only 21 is operated. Thereby, even in the downlink, transmission of a signal having a large relative delay time and distance attenuation can be stopped, and deterioration of communication quality in the terminal station can be avoided.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to realize a diversity communication device in which transmission / reception timing is adjusted and deterioration in communication quality is suppressed.
