Definitions
- This disclosure relates to a radio communication system, a radio communication method, and a receiving device, and more particularly to a radio communication system, a radio communication method, and a receiving device using a single-carrier multilevel modulation scheme.
- Non-Patent Document 1 discloses a technology related to a radio communication system using a single-carrier multilevel modulation method.
- the higher the transmission power the higher the SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio).
- a transmission signal amplifier generally exhibits linear input/output characteristics in a region where the input power is small, but exhibits nonlinear characteristics in a region where the power is large. Therefore, in wireless communication, the higher the transmission power, the more likely the transmission signal is distorted.
- the above non-patent document 1 discloses a technique for keeping the transmission power within the linear region of the amplifier in order to avoid the influence of such distortion. In this case, since distortion is not superimposed on the transmission signal, the signal can be correctly processed in the receiving apparatus, and erroneous transmission of data can be effectively prevented.
- Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for coping with such a phase shift.
- FIG. 1 shows a diagram for explaining the outline of the technology disclosed in Patent Document 1.
- FIG. 1 shows a constellation corresponding to 32APSK.
- 32APSK 32 symbols indicated by ⁇ or ⁇ in the figure are defined by changing the amplitude and phase of the transmission signal. More specifically, four symbols are defined on the first inner circumference 10, twelve symbols on the second inner circumference 12, and sixteen symbols on the outermost circumference 14.
- Patent Document 1 discloses arranging one or more pilot signals 16 on each of the first inner circumference 10, the second inner circumference 12, and the outermost circumference 14.
- the position of the pilot signal 16 is shared by the transmitter and receiver. Therefore, the receiving device can detect the phase shift occurring in each concentric circle based on the shift between the position of the actually received pilot signal 16 and the position shared in advance.
- the phase shift occurring in the first inner circumference 10 is reflected in that signal. Even when a signal belonging to another concentric circle is received, the phase shift is corrected in the same manner. According to such a method, even if a phase shift occurs in the received signal in a region of high transmission power, the shift can be properly corrected to prevent erroneous transmission of data.
- Non-Patent Document 1 solves the problem of distortion by abandoning the use of the nonlinear region of the amplifier. In other words, with this technique, the amplifier cannot fully demonstrate its inherent ability, and a situation arises that goes against the essential demand of using large power without excessive capital investment.
- the transmitting device needs to transmit at least as many pilot signals as the number of concentric circles forming the constellation to the receiving device.
- the environment of the communication path of the radio signal is not always constant. Therefore, the pilot signal should be executed frequently, preferably for each flow of data communication.
- Patent Document 1 further requires transmission of a larger number of pilot signals when, for example, QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) is used as the modulation scheme. That is, as described in Patent Document 1, if the modulation scheme is APSK, a plurality of symbols arranged on concentric circles can be corrected with one common phase shift. Therefore, one pilot signal is required for a plurality of symbols arranged on concentric circles.
- QAM Quadrature Amplitude Modulation
- Patent Document 1 enables the use of large power commensurate with the performance of the amplifier, but still leaves room for improvement in terms of data rate.
- the present disclosure has been made in view of the above problems, and aims to provide a wireless communication system that utilizes the nonlinear region of an amplifier, prevents erroneous transmission of data, and secures a high data rate.

- the communication device 80 shown in FIG. 9 includes a transmitter for transmitting radio signals and a receiver for processing the received radio signals.
- Communication device 80 can be used as either transmitting device 20 or receiving device 50 shown in FIG. A case where both the transmitting device 20 and the receiving device 50 are configured by the communication device 80 shown in FIG. 9 will be described below.
- a communication device 80 according to the present embodiment includes a transmission section having a configuration similar to that of the transmission device 20 according to the first embodiment. Further, communication apparatus 80 includes data signal equalization section 52 and likelihood calculation section 60, like receiving apparatus 50 of the first embodiment.
- FIG. 9 the same elements as those described in Embodiment 1 are denoted by the reference numerals shown in FIG. 6 or 7, and overlapping descriptions are omitted or simplified.
- the communication device 80 in this embodiment provides the received signal amplifier 82 with the signal received by the antenna 32 .

- the signal digitized by the analog-to-digital converter 84 is provided to the data signal equalizer 52 .
- the data signal equalization unit 52 and the likelihood calculation unit 60 perform the same processing as in the first embodiment. This provides accurate data recognition regardless of whether the received signal constellation contains distortion or not.
- the signal symbolized by the likelihood calculation unit 60 is provided to the information bit detection unit 86 .
- the information bit detector 86 converts information about the signal error rate BER (Bit Error Rate) into bits in addition to the data to be exchanged with the communication partner.
- the BER information is then provided to the information bit generator 34 of the transmitter.
- the information bit generation unit 34 performs bit generation processing so that the information is included in the transmission signal.
- the communication device 80 provides the communication device 80 of the communication partner with information on the BER realized by the current transmission power.
- the communication device 80 shown in FIG. 9 is also provided with information on the BER realized with the current transmission power from the communication partner. This information is restored to a data signal by the receiving section of the communication device 80 and then fed back to the transmission power control section 36 of the transmitting section. Based on the information thus fed back, the transmission power control unit 36 controls transmission power so as to improve communication quality.
- FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining an example of processing executed by the transmission power control unit 36 in this embodiment.
- the routine shown in FIG. 10 is started immediately after the communication device 80 establishes communication with the communication device 80 of the other party.
- the transmission power is set to the maximum power P N (step 100).
- a threshold value for example, 1E-6 with respect to the set transmission power (step 102).
- the maximum power PN is the most advantageous power for obtaining excellent SNR if the constellation distortion caused by the nonlinearity of the transmission signal amplifier 30 can be properly absorbed. If it is determined in step 102 that the BER is equal to or less than the threshold, it can be determined that the transmission signal has been received sufficiently accurately. Therefore, in this case, it can be determined that the distortion of the constellation is appropriately absorbed in the communication device 80 of the communication partner. That is, it can be determined that the current transmission power is the maximum power that achieves the desired communication quality.
- Such transmission power is suitable for ensuring a high data rate and a high SNR. Therefore, if the determination in step 102 is affirmative, it is determined that the current transmission power is appropriate, and the power control routine ends.
- the transmission power control unit 36 attempts to reduce the transmission power in order to alleviate distortion of the constellation (step 104). For example, if the current transmit power is P N , the power is changed to P N ⁇ 1 .
- step 102 is executed again. Then, as a result of repeating steps 102 and 104, when the transmission power that clears the BER is found, this routine ends at that point.
- the transmission power used by the communication device 80 is determined to be the highest power that clears the BER after communication starts. Therefore, according to the wireless communication system of this embodiment, in addition to the same effects as in the case of the first embodiment, it is possible to obtain the effect of realizing the best communication quality by optimizing the transmission power. can be done.
- FIG. 11 is a flow chart for explaining an example of another routine that the transmission power control section 36 can execute instead of the routine shown in FIG. 10 in order to control the transmission power. Similarly to the routine shown in FIG. 10, the routine shown in FIG. 11 is also started immediately after the communication device 80 establishes communication with the communication device 80 of the other party.
- the transmission power is first set to the preset initial power (step 110).
- the initial power is the expected maximum power that clears the BER.
- step 112 it is determined whether or not the BER provided by the communication device 80 of the communication partner satisfies the condition of being equal to or lower than the threshold (step 112). This process is substantially the same as the process of step 102 shown in FIG.
- step 112 If it is determined in step 112 that the BER condition has been cleared, it can be determined that there is still room to increase the transmission power. Therefore, in this case, the transmission power control unit 36 attempts to increase the transmission power (step 114). Specifically, the transmission power is changed from the current power P i to P i+1 , which is one step higher.
- step 116 it is determined again whether the BER provided by the communication device 80 of the communication partner satisfies the threshold condition. As a result, if the BER is cleared, the process of step 114 is executed again.
- step 116 determines whether the transmission power has exceeded the upper limit of power that can clear the BER by one step at that point. In this case, it can be determined that power that is one step lower than the current transmission power is the maximum power that clears the BER. Therefore, if the determination in step 116 is negative, the transmission power is lowered by one step (step 118), and the current routine ends.
- step 112 If it is determined in step 112 above that the BER cannot be cleared with the initial power set as the transmission power, a process of lowering the transmission power is executed (step 120). Then, it is determined whether or not the BER for the changed transmission power meets the threshold condition (step 122).
- step 122 determines that the transmission power is still excessive. Therefore, when the determination of step 122 is negative, the process of step 120 is executed again.
- step 122 if the determination in step 122 is affirmative, it can be determined that the transmission power has been reduced to the maximum power that can clear the BER at that time. In this case, since the current transmission power is the optimum power, the current routine is terminated immediately thereafter.
- the transmission power can be set to the maximum power that satisfies the desired BER, as with the routine shown in FIG. Furthermore, according to the routine shown in FIG. 11, when the optimum transmission power is sufficiently smaller than the maximum power PN, the optimum transmission power can be found earlier than the routine shown in FIG. can.

[実施の形態1の全体構成]
図2は、本開示の実施の形態1の無線通信システムの全体構成を示す。図2に示すように、本実施形態の無線通信システムは、送信装置20と受信装置50を備えている。
図3は、本実施形態における送信装置20と対比される比較対象の送信装置22の構成を説明するためのブロック図である。比較例の送信装置22は、情報ビット生成部24を備えている。情報ビット生成部24は、受信装置50に伝送したい情報ビットを生成する。情報ビット生成部24は、誤り訂正符号化機能、或いはインターリーブ機能を備えていてもよい。
比較例の送信装置22によっても、送信電力を、送信信号増幅器30の線形領域に制限すれば、データの誤認は防ぐことができる。しかし、その場合、送信信号増幅器30の増幅能力を十分に活用できないという事態が生ずる。
ところで、上記の図7には、尤度算出部60が、送信信号増幅器30の線形領域に属する複数の送信電力P1、P2対して受信信号のコンスタレーションを夫々再生する様子が示されている。しかしながら、受信信号のコンスタレーションを再生する手法はこれに限定されるものではない。すなわち、尤度算出部60は、送信信号増幅器30の線形領域に属する送信電力については、歪みのない同一のコンスタレーションを共通に用いることとし、非線形領域に属する送信電力についてのみ、受信信号のコンスタレーションを再生することとしてもよい。
次に、上記の図2と共に図9乃至図11を参照して、本開示の実施の形態2の無線通信システムについて説明する。
図11は、送信電力制御部36が、送信電力を制御するために、図10に示すルーチンに代えて実行することのできる他のルーチンの例を説明するためのフローチャートである。図11に示すルーチンも、図10に示すルーチンと同様に、通信装置80が、相手方の通信装置80との通信を確立した直後に起動される。
