Furthermore, the mobile station 30 and the radio base station 10 that are currently communicating via the relay station 20 are requested to perform handover to another relay station or radio base station. Thereafter, the operation is the same as in the second embodiment.
- FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a configuration example of a relay station.

- Data transmission from the relay station 20 to the mobile station 30 is stopped.
- transmission of the common control CH (channel) (or common control signal) to the mobile station 30 is assumed to be intermittent transmission.
- control signal (control CH) necessary for the mobile station 30 to connect to the relay station 20 is, for example, a broadcast channel for transmitting information (for example, a used frequency) regarding the service area (cell) of the relay station 20
- the relay station 20 does not receive transmission data from the mobile station 30. Further, a random access channel (RACH) including a connection request transmitted from the mobile station 30 and a control signal and a control CH necessary for connection such as a pilot are assumed to be intermittent reception. By performing such an operation, it is possible to control the power supply of the relay station 20 and to reduce power consumption.

Therefore, even if the transmission power for transmitting the control signal and control CH described above is reduced and the service area (cell) is substantially narrowed, the number of mobile stations that cannot be connected is limited.
- the transmission power of the control signal and control CH is compared with that of normal transmission, and is reduced by, for example, reducing the power to 1/2. That is, the power control unit 2b compares the number of accommodated mobile stations with a threshold value, and if the power control unit 2b determines that the threshold value is less than the threshold value, turns off the power of the transmission / reception unit with the radio base station 10 and further performs downlink transmission to the mobile station 30 Request transmission unit 28-2 to reduce transmission power, and downlink transmission unit 28-2 reduces transmission power.

Specifically, the power of the transmission / reception system with the radio base station 10 is turned on, the transmission power of the control signal to the mobile station 30 is returned to the normal transmission power, and the transmission unit is controlled so that data can be transmitted.
- connection control is performed between the radio base station 10 and the relay station 20 (the relay station 20 requests the radio base station 10 to reallocate or increase radio resources).

- the mobile station 30 notifies the radio base station 10 of the selected cell (in this case, the relay station 20).
- the radio base station 10 Upon receiving the notification, the radio base station 10 requests the relay station 20 to shift from the power supply control to the normal power supply operation (notification of power supply restoration timing), and further executes the allocation of radio resources.
- the relay station 20 that has received the request for switching from the power control to the normal power supply operation turns on the power of the transmission unit to the radio base station 10 and the reception unit from the mobile station 30, and is assigned by the radio base station 10.
- the uplink to the radio base station 10 and the uplink from the mobile station 30 are set using the radio lease. By setting up an uplink from the mobile station 30, the mobile station 30 can transmit a connection request to the relay station 20.

Abstract
Description
したがって、リレー局の電源制御(電源ON/OFFまたは間欠動作制御など)が必要であるが、リレー局が独自の判断で電源制御を実行してしまうと、無線基地局や移動局からみて通信先が知らぬ間になくなっていることとなり、障害(例えば接続不可能となるなど)の原因となる。更に、独自判断で電源制御を実行してしまうと、リレー局が使用していたリソースを利用することができなくなる。
本発明の上記および他の目的、特徴および利点は本発明の例として好ましい実施の形態を表す添付の図面と関連した以下の説明により明らかになるであろう。
3.移動局30から送信される、例えばランダムアクセスチャネルを用いた接続要求信号や制御信号(例えばスケジューリングリクエスト)が、自リレー局20に向けたものか、他リレー局に向けたものかを判断し、自リレー局20に向けたものと判断した場合、その移動局30は自リレー局20が中継している移動局と認識し、他リレー局に向けたものであると判断した場合は、その移動局30は自リレー局が中継していない移動局と認識する。これにより、リレー局20が中継している移動局数を把握することが可能となる。
(2)無線基地局10との送受信系(無線回線r1、r2)の電源を落とし、移動局30との送受信系(無線回線r3、r4)は間欠動作を実行する。
〔S1〕電源制御部2bにおいて、収容移動局数と閾値を比較し、収容数を確認する。
〔S3〕通知を受けた無線基地局10は、リレー局20が電源OFFするタイミングを決定し、リレー局20に対して電源制御の開始タイミングを通知する(電源OFFタイミングを通知する)。
〔S6〕リレー局20が電源OFFした場合、無線基地局10は、リレー局20が通信に使用していた上り(移動局30→リレー局20)及び下り(リレー局20→移動局30)の無線リソースを、無線基地局10や他リレー局で使用できるようにリソース割り当てを実行する。
なお、上記ではDF(Decode and Forward:受信した無線信号を復調、誤り訂正復号、再符号・変調処理等の処理を行って中継する方式)を用いたリレー局20で説明したが、データ伝送に対してはAF(Amplify and Forward:受信した無線信号を復号せずに増幅だけして中継する方式)を実行し、リレー局20の制御信号については送受信が可能なAFリレー局でも同様に実行することが可能である。
〔S11〕リレー局20は、移動局30の収容数を確認する。
〔S12〕リレー局20は、無線基地局10に電源制御を行う旨の通知を行う。
〔S14〕無線基地局10は、リレー局20に対して、電源制御タイミングを通知する。
次に詳細動作について説明する。リレー局20の電源制御部2bにおいて、収容移動局数と閾値を比較して閾値を超えないと判断した場合、電源制御部2bは、無線基地局10及び移動局30に対して、リレー局20の電源をOFFすることを通知する。更に、その時点でリレー局20を介して通信している1つまたは複数の移動局30及び無線基地局10に対して、他のリレー局または無線基地局へハンドオーバするよう要求する。
次に第4の実施の形態の動作(無線基地局10との送受信部の電源をOFFし、移動局30への送受信部を間欠動作する制御)について説明する。リレー局20から移動局30へのデータ送信を停止する。更に、移動局30へ共通制御CH(channel)(または共通制御信号)の送信を間欠送信とする。例えば、移動局30がリレー局20に接続するために必要な制御信号(制御CH)は、例えばリレー局20のサービスエリア(セル)に関する情報(例えば使用周波数など)を送信するための報知チャネルや、セル選択に必要となるパイロット信号(参照信号)を送信する制御チャネルやそのリレー局と移動局間で同期を実行するための同期チャネル等である。
〔S21〕リレー局20から送信された制御信号を受信し、受信電力を測定した移動局30は、他のリレー局や無線基地局との受信電力と比較し、接続するリレー局20を選択する。
〔S24〕無線基地局10は、電源復旧タイミングをリレー局20へ送信する。
〔S28〕通常電源動作に復帰した後、移動局30、リレー局20、無線基地局10では、ハンドオーバを実行する。
〔S33〕通知を受けた無線基地局10は、リレー局20に対して電源制御から通常電源動作へ移行するよう要求し(電源復旧タイミングの通知)、更に無線リソースの割り当てを実行する。
〔S36〕移動局30とリレー局20間で接続制御を行う。
〔S37〕リレー局20が通常電源動作に復帰した後、移動局30は通常電源動作に復帰したリレー局20へハンドオーバを実行する。これによりリレー局20を介して無線基地局10と通信が可能となる。なお、リレー局20が通常電源動作に復帰後に、改めてハンドオーバ実行要求を送信した後、ハンドオーバを実行してもよい。
