近年のモバイルトラヒックの急増に伴い、周波数利用効率を向上させる革新技術の検討が盛んに行われている。その中に全二重通信(FD:full duplex)がある。全二重通信には、帯域外全二重通信(OBFD:Out Band Full Duplex)と、帯域内全二重通信(IBFD:In Band full duplex)とがある。帯域外全二重通信では、送信信号と受信信号との混信を避けるために、送信帯域と受信帯域とで異なる周波数を用いて通信を行う方式である。これに対して、帯域内全二重通信では、同一の周波数帯域を用いて送信と受信とを同時に行う複信方式である。帯域内全二重通信では、通信装置が送信する信号が、その通信装置の受信回路に漏れ込むことによって非常に強い自己干渉が発生することになる。しかしながら、干渉キャンセル技術の進歩によって、その自己干渉を軽減させることが可能となった。
図1は、IBFD(帯域内全二重通信)の概要を示す図である。図1に示す基地局装置100と端末装置200との間の上りリンク(上りアクセスリンク、上りバックホールリンク)及び下りリンク(下りアクセスリンク、下りバックホールリンク)は、同一周波数帯域を用いて送信と受信とを同時に通信可能なIBFDを採用している。その結果、IBFDでは、同一周波数帯域を用いて送信と受信とを同時に通信可能にしているため、OBFD(帯域外全二重通信)に比較して周波数利用効率を最大2倍にまで改善できる。
図2は、eMBB及びURLLCの通信方法の一例を示す図である。図2に示す基地局装置100は、下りアクセスリンクを用いてURLLC信号を端末装置200Aに送信すると共に、上りアクセスリンクを用いてeMBB信号を端末装置200Bから受信する。

<5.1.1.データの種類とQoS要求値の一例>
ここで、端末装置200がチャネル品質を測定するQoSレベルについて説明する。上述したように、5Gでは通信ユースケースによって要求受信品質が異なる。通信ユースケースごとに送信されるデータの種類と要求受信品質(QoS要求値)として、以下の例が挙げられる。
eMBBデータの一例として、音声データやビデオデータ、ストリーミングが挙げられる。各eMBBデータのQoS要求値の一例は以下の通りである。
-遅延許容値:100msec
-パケット誤り率:10-2
ビデオデータ
-遅延許容値:150msec
-パケット誤り率:10-3
-遅延許容値:300msec
-パケット誤り率:10-6
URLLCデータの一例として、ロボットのセンサーデータや制御シグナル、車・電車などの遠隔操縦センサーデータや制御シグナル、及び、配電システムのセンサーデータや制御シグナルが挙げられる。各URLLCデータのQoS要求値の一例は以下の通りである。
-遅延許容値:10msec
-パケット誤り率:10-4

-遅延許容値:30msec
-パケット誤り率:10-5
配電システムのセンサーデータ/制御シグナル
-遅延許容値:5msec
-パケット誤り率:10-5
3GPPの4Gシステムにおいて、QoS要求値は、QCI(QoS Class Identifier)として分類される。3GPPの5Gシステムにおいて、QoS要求値は、5QI(5G QoS Identifier)として分類される。図26A~図26Cは、データの種類及び5GのQoS要求値の対応表である。図26A~図26Cに示す対応表は、TS23.501 Table 5.7.4-1に記載されている。
リソースタイプ(Resource Type)、
初期プライオリティレベル(Default Priority Level)、
パケット遅延バジェット(Packet Delay Budget:PDB)、
パケット誤り率(Packet Error Rate)、
初期最大データバースト量(Default Maximum Data Burst Volume)、
初期平均化窓(Default Averaging Window)、
などで定義される。
上述したQoSインデックスは3GPPにおけるQoSインデックスである。3GPPにおいてQoSとデータのマッピングは、例えばSDAP(Service Data Adaptation Protocol)層で行われる。具体的には、SDAP層において、IPフローに対応するQoSを示す識別子がそのヘッダ内に含まれて通知される。
本実施形態において、端末装置200及び基地局装置100は、チャネル品質として、端末装置200と基地局装置100との間の伝搬経路の状態を測定する。端末装置200及び基地局装置100は、設定されたリソースを用いて、所定の信号の受信電力、又は、全ての信号の受信電力を測定する。所定の信号の受信電力はRSRP(Reference Signal Received Power)とも呼称され、全ての信号の受信電力はRSSI(Received Signal Strength Indicator)とも呼称される。
CSI測定の結果は、主に、ダイナミックスケジューリングなどの動的なリソース割り当てに用いられる。
RRM測定の結果は、主に、RRC設定やハンドオーバー処理などの準静的なリソース制御に用いられる。RRM測定では、一例として、RSRP(Reference Signal Received Power)、RSRQ(Reference Signal Received Quality)、RSSI(Received Signal Strength Indicator)、SINR(Signal to Interference plus Noise power Ratio)、などが測定される。
同一の時間/周波数リソースにおいて、所定の端末装置200A(第1の端末装置)が上りリンク送信を行うと同時に、他の端末装置200B(第2の端末装置)が下りリンク受信を行うと、上りリンクの送信信号が下りリンク受信に対して干渉を与える端末間干渉を発生させる。また、同一の時間/周波数リソースにおいて、所定の基地局装置100A(第1の基地局)が下りリンク送信を行うと同時に、隣接の基地局装置100B(第2の基地局)が上りリンク受信を行うと、下りリンクの送信信号が上りリンク受信に対して干渉を与える基地局間干渉(セル間干渉(inter-cell interference))を発生させる。これらの干渉は、リンク間干渉(Cross-Link Interference:CLI)とも呼称される。本実施形態においては、リンク間干渉を考慮してスケジューリングを行うことで、リンク間干渉の影響を低減させる。
3GPPにおいて、端末装置間干渉(CLI)はL3測定として測定および報告される。CLIは、SRS-RSRP(Sounding Reference Signal-Reference Signal Received Power)またはCLI-RSSI(Cross-Link Interference-Received Signal Strength Indicator)で測定される。
3GPPにおいて、基地局間干渉はRIM-RS(remote Interference Management Reference Signal)を用いて測定される。RIM-RSは、基地局装置100によって、セル間干渉を測定するため、及び、他の基地局装置100への推定干渉についての情報を提供するため、に使われることができる。2種類の異なるタイプのRIM-RSが設定されることができる。第1のRIM-RSタイプは情報を運ぶために使われることができる。第2のRIM-RSタイプは設定に基づく。
図27は、本開示の実施形態に係る通信システムSの動作例を説明するためのシーケンス図である。本実施形態に係る通信システムの基地局装置100及び端末装置200Aは、複数の異なるQoSタイプのデータを受信する。基地局装置100及び端末装置200Aは、QoSレベルの組み合わせごとにチャネル品質を測定する。なお、以下、端末装置200Aが、第2の端末装置200Bからの干渉を考慮した基地局装置100との間のチャネル品質を測定する場合について説明する。
(端末情報)
ネットワークの制御を行う基地局装置100は、配下の端末装置200(ネットワークに接続された端末装置200、該基地局装置100にキャンプしている端末装置200)に関する情報を取得する。基地局装置100は、配下の端末装置200に関する情報として、該端末装置200が送受信できるQoSインデックスの限界値(ケイパビリティ、能力)を収集する。
-端末タイプ

端末タイプは、例えばeMBB(enhanced Mobile Broad Band)、URLLC(Ultra-Reliable and Low Latency Communication)、または、mMTC(massive Machine Type Communication)、が挙げられる。
LTEにおいて、端末装置200の処理能力は、端末カテゴリとして定義される。例えば、UE category 1から21はeMBBの端末を想定して定義され、UE category 0、M1、および、M2は、mMTCの端末装置200を想定して定義される。基地局装置100は、端末カテゴリの情報から、端末装置200のQoSに関するケイパビリティを認知することができる。

アンテナのケイパビリティ情報としては、例えば、端末装置200が搭載するアンテナパネル、アンテナ本数、アンテナエレメント数、偏波アンテナの情報及びアンテナの形状などの少なくとも1つが挙げられる。

サポート帯域幅は、例えば、端末装置200がサポートする帯域幅が挙げられる。
サポートキャリア数は、例えば、キャリアアグリゲーションおよび/またはマルチコネクティビティによって同時接続可能なセル数が挙げられる。同時接続可能なセル数が多い端末装置200は、処理能力の高い端末装置200であると認識される。
端末装置200は、URLLCに関連する機能に関するケイパビリティ情報を基地局装置100に報告する。基地局装置100は、該端末装置200がURLLCを処理可能な端末装置200であると、認識することができる。
ネットワークの制御を行う基地局装置100は、配下の端末装置200が送受信を行う環境に関する環境情報を取得する。
-通信環境状況
-モビリティ
端末装置200の通信環境に応じて伝搬路の状況が変わることが想定される。基地局装置100は、通信環境に応じて、様々なQoSタイプのトラフィックを適切に処理する。端末装置200は通信環境に関する情報を基地局装置100に通知する。
端末装置200の移動速度に応じて担保可能なQoSの限界値(QoSレベル)が変わる。基地局装置100は、モビリティに応じて、様々なQoSタイプのトラフィックを適切に処理する。端末装置200はモビリティの情報を基地局装置100に通知する。
づいて、各QoSレベルに紐付いた測定リソースのコンフィグレーションを設定する。
基地局装置100が設定するコンフィグレーションの種類として、以下の一例が挙げられる。
-測定する所望信号
-測定する干渉信号
-測定する信号のQoS設定
測定するリソースは、例えば時間軸、周波数軸及び/又は空間軸で定義される。例えば時間軸として、基地局装置100によって周期的なリソース設定が行われる。基地局装置100は、測定周期及びオフセットと、測定区間と、を設定する。あるいは、時間軸として、基地局装置100によって非周期的なリソース設定が行われる。この場合、測定のトリガとなるイベントが設定される。
基地局装置100は、端末装置200Aがチャネル品質を測定するための測定用信号として所望信号を送信する。端末装置200Aは、該所望信号の受信電力(RSRP)を測定する。

(測定する干渉信号のリソース)
基地局装置100は、測定する信号のQoSレベルを設定する。測定する信号のQoS設定は、QoSインデックス(QCI、5QIまたはUP)の設定、CQIテーブルおよび/またはMCSテーブルに関する設定、想定送信電力の設定、ターゲットBLERの設定などが挙げられる。
続いて、端末装置200Aは、基地局装置100から事前に設定されたコンフィグレーションからチャネル品質をQoSレベルごとに測定する。
チャネル品質をQoSレベルごとに測定する方法として、異なるQoSレベルの信号/干渉ごとに予めコンフィグレーションが設定される方法が挙げられる。
(基地局装置がQoSレベルを指示)
チャネル品質をQoSレベルごとに測定する方法として、基地局装置100がQoSレベル間で共通の測定設定を事前に設定した後、追加情報によって測定するQoSレベルを設定する方法がある。ここで、共通の測定設定として、例えばCSI-ReportConfigCommon、measConfigCommonなどが挙げられる。また、追加情報として、例えばCSI-ReportConfigDedicated、measConfigDedicatedなどのRRC設定や、DCIが挙げられる。
上述した例では、基地局装置100が測定するQoSレベルを指定するとしたが、これに限定されない。例えば、チャネル品質を測定する端末装置200Aが測定するチャネルのQoSレベルを決定するようにしてもよい。この場合、端末装置200Aは、所定のイベントが発生した際に、該イベントに紐付いたQoSインデックスの測定を行う。
上述した例では、端末装置200Aが測定するQoSレベルを決定するとしたが、これに限定されない。例えば、干渉信号としてテスト信号を送信する第2の端末装置200Bが測定するチャネルのQoSレベルを決定するようにしてもよい。
例えば、各QoSレベルで共通する測定の設定として、例えば以下の設定が含まれる。
-測定リソースの候補
-測定バンド、測定キャリア、測定中心周波数
-測定対象の情報の一部
測定リソースの候補は、周期及びオフセットにより設定される。また、測定対象の情報の一部には、例えば与干渉端末(第2の端末装置200B)の情報(サブキャリア間隔)が含まれる。なお、測定対象の情報の一部に、与干渉端末の情報、与干渉端末の信号の情報(シーケンス、送信電力など)が含まれていてもよい。
基地局装置100が追加情報として送信する制御信号又は第2の端末装置200Bが送信する測定要請信号には、例えば以下の情報が含まれる。
-測定タイミング(測定を行うスロット、など)の情報
-測定周波数帯(帯域幅、リソースブロック、など)の情報
-測定対象の情報の一部
測定対象の情報の一部には、例えば与干渉端末(第2の端末装置200B)の情報(サブキャリア間隔)が含まれる。なお、測定対象の情報の一部に、与干渉端末の情報、与干渉端末の信号の情報(シーケンス、送信電力など)が含まれていてもよい。
端末装置200Aは、基地局装置100に対して、QoSレベルごとに測定したチャネル品質を報告する。
端末装置200Aは、周期的にチャネル品質を報告する。端末装置200Aは、例えば基地局装置100から設定された周期で報告する。チャネル品質を測定できなかった場合、あるいは、測定が指示されなかった場合、端末装置200Aは報告を行わず、報告をスキップするようにしてもよい。なお、チャネル品質の報告が周期的である場合、上述したチャネル品質の測定も周期的であることが望ましい。
[SINR情報]
端末装置200Aは、基地局装置100に対して、各QoSレベルに対応する測定したSINR情報を報告する。
あるいは、端末装置200Aは、基地局装置100に対して、各QoSレベル(例えば、eMBBおよびURLLC)に対応する干渉をどこまで許容できるかを示す干渉許容情報を報告する。
あるいは、端末装置200Aは、基地局装置100に対して、基準測定情報及びオフセット測定情報を報告する。ここで、基準測定情報は、QoSレベルのうち基準となるQoSレベル(基準レベル、例えばeMBB)に対応する測定情報(例えばSINR情報)である。また、オフセット測定情報は、上記基準となるQoSレベル(例えばeMBB)を除いたQoSレベル(例えばURLLC)に対応する測定情報と、上記基準測定情報との差分を示す情報である。
あるいは、端末装置200Aは、自装置との通信において基地局装置100がIBFDを行えるか否かを示すIBFD可否情報を測定情報として基地局装置100に報告する。ここで、IBFDが行えるか否かを示す情報とは、基地局装置100が端末装置200A及び他の端末装置(例えば端末装置200B)とIBFDで通信を行った場合に、想定するQoSレベルのターゲットBLER(Block Error Rate)を満たすことができるか否かを示す情報である。
なお、端末装置200Aは、測定情報の他に、端末間干渉に関する情報を基地局装置100に報告してもよい。例えば、端末装置200Aは、IBFD可否情報に加えて、強い干渉を端末装置200Aに与える与干渉端末装置(例えば、端末装置200B)に関する情報を報告してもよい。ここで、端末装置200Aは、所定の端末装置200が与える干渉が所定閾値以上であるか否かに応じて、所定の端末装置200が与干渉端末装置であるか否かを判定する。
-与干渉端末の種類(RAT)
-与干渉端末の識別情報(端末ID、C-RNTI、測定したSRSの識別情報など)
-与干渉端末が接続するセルID
-端末間干渉を受ける方向
-与干渉端末の位置(緯度、経度、高度)

-端末装置200の測定したタイミングの位置情報(緯度、経度、高度)
-端末装置200の移動速度(移動方向、速度、モビリティステート)
-端末装置200のトラフィックバッファ量
基地局装置100は、端末装置200Aから受けたチャネル品質に関する報告に基づき、端末装置200AとIBFDを適用した通信を行うか否かを判定する。
IBFDを適用した通信を行うと判定した場合、基地局装置100は、IBFDを適切に行うための通信制御を、上りリンク端末装置(例えば端末装置200A)及び/又は下りリンク端末装置(例えば端末装置200B)に対して行う。
-送信電力に関する制御情報
-送信時間/周波数リソースに関する制御情報
-送信ビームに関する制御情報
基地局装置100は、下りリンク端末装置に対して、以下の通信制御情報の全部又は一部を送信する。
-受信時間/周波数リソースに関する制御情報
-受信ビームに関する制御情報
-干渉処理に関する制御情報
IBFDを適用した通信を行わないと判定した場合、基地局装置100は、IBFDを行うか否かの判定対象であった端末装置200のペア(上りリンク端末装置及び下りリンク端末装置)に対して、一方の端末装置200の送信又は受信を優先させ、他方の端末装置200の送信又は受信を停止させる制御を行う。
<8.1.IBFDを設定する際の動作シーケンス>
図28は、本開示の実施形態に係るIBFDを設定する際の動作シーケンスの一例を示す図である。図28に示す基地局装置は、下りアクセスリンクを用いてURLLC信号を第1の端末装置に送信し、下りアクセスリンクを用いてeMBB信号を第2の端末装置に送信し、上りアクセスリンクを用いてeMBB信号を第3の端末装置から受信する場合を想定する。
図29は、本開示の実施形態に係るOBFDを設定する際の通信シーケンスの一例を示す図である。なお、図28と同一の構成には同一符号を付すことで、その重複する構成及び動作の説明については省略する。
図30は、本開示の実施形態に係るIBFDの実行可否の判定処理フローの一例を示す図である。なお、IBFDの実行可否の判定処理は、図28及び図29のステップS15の判定処理の内容である。基地局装置は、URLLC信号が発生した場合(ステップS101)、URLLC信号のスケジューリングを実行する(ステップS102)。基地局装置は、URLLC信号に対して割り当てる予定の無線リソースに対して他のリンク(例えば、eMBB信号)でスケジュール済みであるか否かを判定する(ステップS103)。
<9.1.第1変形例>
上述の実施形態では、端末装置200が端末間干渉を測定するとしたが、これに限定されない。例えば、基地局装置100が基地局間干渉を測定するようにしてもよい。かかる測定は、例えば上述の想定システムS_C~S_Lで実行される。図31は、本開示の実施形態の第1変形例に係る通信システムSの動作例を説明するためのシーケンス図である。
上述の実施形態では、通信システムSとして主にセルラー通信システムの場合について説明したが、これに限定されない。本開示の技術を、例えば無線LAN(Local Area Network)方式などの他の種類の無線通信システムに適用してもよい。
