初期接続とは、端末装置2がいずれのセルにも接続していない状態(アイドル状態)から、いずれかのセルとの接続を確立した状態(接続状態)に遷移するために行う手続である。
アイドル状態の端末装置2は、始めに、セル選択手続を行う。セル選択手続には、同期信号の検出(S201)と、PBCH(Physical Broadcast Channel)の復号(S202)とが含まれる。端末装置2は、同期信号の検出に基づいて、セルと下りリンクでの同期を行う。そして、下りリンクの同期確立後、端末装置は、PBCHの復号を試み、第1のシステム情報を取得する(S203)。さらに、端末装置2は、PBCHに含まれる第1のシステム情報に基づき、第2のシステム情報を取得する(同S203)。
次に、端末装置2は、第1のシステム情報および/または第2のシステム情報に基づき、ランダムアクセス手続(ランダムアクセスプロシージャ、RACH(Random Access Channel)手続、RACH手続)を行う。ランダムアクセス手続には、ランダムアクセスプリアンブルの送信、ランダムアクセス応答の受信、メッセージ3(Message3)の送信、そして衝突解決(Contention resolution)の受信が含まれる。より詳細には以下の通りである。
セルから送信されるシステム情報は、当該セルにおける設定を報知する情報である。システム情報は、例えば、そのセルへのアクセスに関する情報、セル選択に関する情報、他RAT(Radio Access Technology)・他システムに関する情報、などが含まれる。
ランダムアクセス手続き(RACH手続)は、一例として、以下の目的を達成するために行われる。
・アイドル状態から非アクティブ状態または接続状態へのRRC接続セットアップ
・非アクティブ状態から接続状態への状態遷移の要求
・接続セルを切り替えるハンドオーバ
・上りリンクデータ送信のためのリソース要求を行うスケジューリングリクエスト
・上りリンクの同期を調整するタイミングアドバンス調整
・送信されていないシステム情報を要求するオンデマンドSI要求
・途切れたビーム接続の復帰(ビームリカバリー)
ランダムアクセス手続き(RACH手続)には、衝突ベースRACH手続と、非衝突RACH手続が存在する。
NRにおけるPRACH(NR-PRACH)は、Zadoff-Chu系列を用いて構成される。NR-PRACHでは、複数のプリアンブルフォーマットが規定される。プリアンブルフォーマットは、PRACHのサブキャリア間隔、送信帯域幅、系列長、送信に用いられるシンボル数、送信繰り返し数、CP長、ガードピリオド長、などのパラメータの組み合わせで規定される。
NRのランダムアクセス応答は、NR-PDSCHによって送られる。
NRのメッセージ3は、NR-PUSCHによって送られる。NR-PUSCHは、ランダムアクセス応答によって指示されたリソースを用いて送信される。
NRのメッセージ3は、RRC接続要求メッセージを含む。
NRのメッセージ3を含んで送信されるNR-PUSCHの波形(Waveform)または伝送方法は、システム情報に含まれるパラメータによって指示される。具体的には、パラメータの指示によって、OFDM(マルチキャリア信号)もしくはDFT-s-OFDM(シングルキャリア信号)が決定される。
なお、NRのメッセージ3の再送に用いられる端末装置の送信ビームは、メッセージ3の初送に用いられた端末装置の送信ビームと異なってもよい。
なお、端末装置は、所定期間内に、NRの衝突解決およびメッセージ3の再送指示のいずれも受信できなかった場合、ランダムアクセス手続が失敗したとみなし、NR-PRACHの再送処理を行う。所定期間は、例えば、システム情報によって設定される。
NRの衝突解決は、NR-PDSCHによって送られる。
衝突解決を含むNR-PDSCHは、NR-PDCCHによってスケジュールされる。そのNR-PDCCHのCRCは、一時的C-RNTIまたはC-RNTIによってスクランブルされている。NR-PDCCHは、USS(端末装置固有サーチスペース)に配置される。なお、そのNR-PDCCHは、CSSに配置されてもよい。
図18は、NRの2-STEP RACH手続の一例を示すシーケンス図である。2-STEP RACH手続は、端末装置からのメッセージA(Message.A)の送信と、基地局装置からのメッセージB(Message.B)の送信との2のステップで構成される。一例として、メッセージAは、従来の4-STEP RACHにおけるメッセージ1(Preamble)とメッセージ3を含み、メッセージBは、従来の4-STEP RACHにおけるメッセージ2とメッセージ4とを含む。また、一例として、メッセージAはPRACH(Preamble)とPUSCHで構成され、メッセージBはPDSCHで構成される。
図19は、本開示の実施形態に係る無線通信システムにおける通信処理の流れの一例を示すシーケンス図である。本通信処理は、基地局装置1との間で行われる端末装置2の初期接続手続(S301~S306)と、その後の時間区間における任意の処理(S307、S308)とを含む。
端末装置2は、ステップS303で決定した信号波形用の受信処理を用いて、ランダムアクセス応答を含むPDSCHを受信する(同S305)。すなわち、端末装置2は、シングルキャリア信号を受信する場合は、信号波形切替部301の出力先を第2の信号波形受信部305に設定し、マルチキャリア信号を受信する場合は、信号波形切替部301の出力先を、第1の信号波形受信部303に設定する。なお、ランダムアクセス応答を含むPDSCHは、PDCCH(Physical Downlink Control Channel)でスケジュールされる。ランダムアクセス応答はメッセージ2とも称される。

シングルキャリア信号とマルチキャリア信号について詳細に説明する。シングルキャリア信号または第2の信号波形は、トランスフォームプリコーディング(Transform precoding)が行われた信号であり、マルチキャリア信号または第1の信号波形は、トランスフォーミングプリコーディングがなされない信号である。より詳細には、シングルキャリア信号は、送信側において、OFDM処理(ここではIDFTまたはIFFT)の前に、トランフォーミングプリコーディングが行われた信号である。マルチキャリア信号は、送信側において、OFDM処理(ここではIDFTまたはIFFT)の前に、トランフォーミングプリコーディングが行われていない信号である。一例として、トランスフォーミングプリコーディングはDFTまたはFFTである。換言すれば、シングルキャリア信号は、受信側において、OFDM処理(ここではDFTまたはFFT)の後に、IDFTまたはFFTが行われる信号である。マルチキャリア信号は、受信側において、OFDM処理(ここではDFTまたはFFT)の後に、IDFTまたはFFTが行われない信号である。
信号波形識別情報(第1情報)に関連する所定の信号の例を以下に示す。所定の信号は、下記に示した信号に限定されない。

以下に、信号波形識別情報の例を示す。また、併せて、信号波形識別情報の例ごとに、基地局装置1が信号波形識別情報を送信する動作例と、端末装置2が信号波形識別情報に基づき信号波形を判定し、受信処理を切り替える動作例を示す。なお、信号波形識別情報は、端末装置2により信号波形を識別または認識可能な情報であれば、以下に示した情報に限定されない。
基地局装置1は、PSS,SSS,TSSまたはその他の同期信号のシーケンスの生成式に、第1の信号波形と第2の信号波形のいずれかを表す判定項を含める。判定項は例えば1ビットにより表現してもよい。

時間リソースに関する情報は、例えば、シンボル(Symbol)、ミニスロット(mini-slot (non-slot-based))、スロット(Slot)、サブフレーム(Subframe)、フレーム(Frame)、無線フレーム(Radio frame)など、時間リソースを特定する情報である。また、時間リソースに関する情報は、シンボル数またはスロット数など、時間リソースのサイズに関する情報であってもよい。
非直交リソースは、リソースが異なっていても干渉が生じる可能性があるリソースであり、マルチアクセスリソース(MA (Multi access) resource)、マルチアクセス物理リソース(MA physical resource)などがある。
基地局装置1は、送信レイヤ数に応じて、下りリンクでの信号の送信に使用する信号波形を制御する。例えば、基地局装置1は、最大送信レイヤ数または送信レイヤ数2以上で所定の信号を送信する場合は、初期接続手続における下りリンク通信において第1の信号波形を用いる。基地局装置1は、送信レイヤ数1で所定の信号を送信する場合は、初期接続手続における下りリンク通信において第2の信号波形を用いる。
基地局装置1は、下りリンク通信において、スロットに含まれるシンボル数に応じて、使用信号波形を制御する。基地局装置1は、例えば、所定の信号を送信するスロットに含まれるシンボル数が所定数(例えば14)の場合は、初期接続手続の下りリンク通信において第1の信号波形を用いる。基地局装置1は、スロットに含まれるシンボル数が所定数と異なる値の場合は、初期接続手続の下りリンク通信において第2の信号波形を用いる。本段落の説明において第1の信号波形と第2の信号波形とを逆にしてもよい。
基地局装置1は、下りリンク通信において、使用するサブキャリア間隔に応じて使用信号波形を制御する。基地局装置1は、例えば、所定の信号を送信するサブキャリア間隔が所定値以上の場合は、初期接続手続の下りリンク通信において第1の信号波形を用いる。基地局装置1は、所定の信号を送信するサブキャリア間隔が所定値未満の場合は、初期接続手続の下りリンク通信において第2の信号波形を用いる。本段落の説明において第1の信号波形と第2の信号波形とを逆にしてもよい。
基地局装置1は、下りリンク通信において、信号を送信する通信チャネルに応じて使用信号波形を制御する。例えば、基地局装置1は、所定の信号をPBCHで送信する場合は、初期接続手続の下りリンク通信において第2の信号波形を用いる。基地局装置1は、所定の信号をPBCH以外の通信チャネルで送信する場合は、初期接続手続の下りリンク通信において第1の信号波形を用いる。第1の信号波形の代わりに、第2の信号波形を用いてもよい。本段落の説明において第1の信号波形と第2の信号波形とを逆にしてもよい。
基地局装置1は、初期接続手続の下りリンク通信において、使用する変調方式に応じて使用信号波形を制御する。例えば、基地局装置1は、16QAM以上の変調多値数の変調方式(高次変調方式)を用いて所定の信号を送信する場合は、初期接続手続の下りリンク通信において、第1の信号波形を用いる。16QAM未満の変調多値数の変調方式(低次変調方式)を用いて所定の信号を送信する場合は、初期接続手続の下りリンク通信において、第2の信号波形を用いる。低次変調方式の例として、BPSKまたはQPSKなどがある。本説明では初期接続手続において所定の信号の後に送信する信号も同じ変調方式が適用される場合を想定している。本段落の説明において第1の信号波形と第2の信号波形とを逆にしてもよい。
基地局装置1は、下りリンク通信において、使用する周波数帯域に応じて使用信号波形を制御する。例えば、基地局装置1は、52.6GHz以上の帯域を用いて所定の信号を送信する場合は、初期接続手続の下りリンク通信において、第1の信号波形を用い、52.6GHz未満の帯域を用いて所定の信号を送信する場合は、初期接続手続の下りリンク通信において、第2の信号波形を用いる。本段落の説明において第1の信号波形と第2の信号波形とを逆にしてもよい。
基地局装置1は、下りリンク通信において、使用するCP長に応じて使用信号波形を制御する。例えば、基地局装置1は、所定値以上のCP長を用いて所定の信号を送信する場合は、初期接続手続の下りリンク通信において、第1の信号波形を用いる。所定値未満のCP長を用いて所定の信号を送信する場合は、初期接続手続の下りリンク通信において、第2の信号波形を用いる。本説明では所定の信号の送信後、初期接続手続において同じCP長を用いる場合を想定している。本段落の説明において第1の信号波形と第2の信号波形とを逆にしてもよい。
基地局装置1は、DCIフォーマットに応じて、下りリンク通信で使用する信号波形を制御する。例えば、基地局装置1は、DCI format がFormat Aを用いる場合は、初期接続手続または他の時間区間における下りリンク通信において、第1の信号波形を用いる。基地局装置1は、DCI format がFormat Bを用いる場合は、初期接続手続または他の時間区間における下りリンク通信において、第2の信号波形を用いる。本段落の説明において第1の信号波形と第2の信号波形とを逆にしてもよい。
第1の信号波形を使用することを示す情報(情報A)と、第2の信号波形を使用することを示す情報(情報B)とを定義する。基地局装置1は、使用信号波形として第1の信号波形を使用する場合は、情報Aを含む信号を送信する。この後、下りリンク通信では情報Aを含めることなく、第1の信号波形を用いて信号を送信してもよい。基地局装置1は、使用信号波形として第2の信号波形を使用する場合は、情報Bを含む信号を送信する。この後、下りリンク通信では、情報Bを含めることなく、第2の信号波形を用いて信号を送信してもよい。
所定の信号が送信されているか否か(所定の信号の送信有無)自体が信号波形識別情報として機能する。つまり所定の信号自体が、第1の信号波形および第2の信号波形のいずれが使用されるかを識別する。例えば、ある同期信号(同期信号Aとする)が第2の信号波形が使用されることを意味する場合、基地局装置1は、同期信号Aを送信することで、初期接続手続またはその他の時間区間において第2の信号波形が使用されることを、端末装置2に通知する。この場合、基地局装置1は、同期信号Aを送信後、初期接続手続またはその他の時間区間において、下りリンク通信において第2の信号波形を用いる。端末装置2は、同期信号Aを受信するまでは第1の信号波形用の受信処理を行い、同期信号Aを受信した場合は、受信処理を第2の信号波形用の受信処理に切り替える。本例では第1の信号波形を第2の信号波形に切り替える例を示したが、第2の信号波形を第1の信号波形に切り替える場合も、第1の信号波形の使用を意味する所定の信号と定義して、実行可能である。
デフォルトの信号波形が第1の信号波形および第2の信号波形のいずれか一方に決められているとする。基地局装置1は、下りリンク通信で使用している信号波形を、デフォルトの信号波形(一方の信号波形)から他方の信号波形に切り替える場合は、使用信号波形の切り替えに関する情報(第2情報)を端末装置1に通知する。基地局装置1は、使用信号波形を他方の信号波形からデフォルトの信号波形に切り替える場合も、使用信号波形の切り替えに関する情報(第2情報)を端末装置1に通知する。
基地局装置1は、実行する通信の処理に応じて、下りリンク通信で使用する信号波形を制御する。例えば、基地局装置1は、所定の処理(第1の処理)では下りリンク通信における信号波形としてデフォルトの信号波形、すなわち、第1の信号波形および第2の信号波形のうちの一方を使用する。所定の処理以外の処理(第2の処理)では、第1の信号波形および第2の信号波形のうちの他方に、使用信号波形を切り替える。一例として、第2の信号波形は、トランスフォームプリコーディングを適用した信号(例えばDFT-Spread-OFDM信号)であり、第1の信号波形はトランスフォームプリコーディングを適用しない信号(例えばOFDM信号)である。
端末装置2は、実行する通信の処理に応じて、使用する受信処理を切り替える。端末装置2は、基地局装置1と第1の処理を行う場合には、デフォルトの信号波形用の受信処理を設定する。端末装置2は、基地局装置1と第2の処理を行う場合には、他方の信号波形用の受信処理を設定する。具体的には、端末装置2の信号波形切替部301は、実行する通信の処理に応じて、基地局装置1からの下りリンクで受信する信号を、第1の信号波形受信部303および第2の信号波形受信部305の一方に提供する。第1の処理の場合には、基地局装置1からの下りリンクで受信する信号を、デフォルトの信号波形に対応する信号波形受信部に提供し、第2の処理の場合には、基地局装置1からの下りリンクで受信する信号を、他方の信号波形処理部に提供する。端末装置2は、実行する通信の処理に関する情報を基地局装置1から通知されることなく、自律的に検出してもよい。
・同期信号送受信処理(PSS、SSS、TSSなどの同期信号の送受信処理)
・ランダムアクセス送受信処理(メッセージ2の送受信処理、メッセージ4の送受信処理、メッセージBの送受信処理)
・制御信号の送受信処理(例えば、PDCCHの送受信処理)
・参照信号の送受信処理
基地局装置1は、いずれかの信号波形(対象信号波形)を適用する開始タイミングおよび/または適用期間を設定してもよい。
端末装置がハンドオーバを実施する場合、ソースとなる基地局装置は、ターゲットとなる基地局装置で使用される信号波形に関する情報を、端末装置にあらかじめ送信してもよい。信号波形に関する情報を送信するために、ソースとなる基地局装置は、RRC reconfiguration のようなハンドオーバコマンドなどを用いることができる。端末装置は、ソースとなる基地局装置から受信をした情報を基に、ターゲットとなる基地局装置(セル)との初期接続手続を実施する。ターゲットとなる基地局装置は、ソースとなる基地局装置に、使用信号波形に関する情報を通知し、ソースとなる基地局装置は、通知された情報に基づき、端末装置にターゲットとなる基地局装置で使用される信号波形に関する情報を送信してもよい。端末装置に送信される情報は、ターゲットとなる基地局装置から最初に受信すべき同期信号の信号波形に関する情報でもよい。あるいは、端末装置に送信される情報は、ターゲットとなる基地局装置から送信される特定の信号(例えば特定のチャネルの信号)の信号波形に関する情報でもよい。この場合、ターゲットとなる基地局装置は、特定の信号について使用される信号波形の信号波形識別情報を端末装置に送信する処理を省略してもよい。
基地局装置1は、基地局装置1が提供するセルの端エリアと、セルの端エリア以外のエリアとのうちいずれに端末装置2が位置するかに応じて、端末装置2への下りリンク通信に使用する信号波形を制御してもよい。例えば、セルの端エリアは、端エリア以外のエリアと比べて大電力での送信が必要になるため、マルチキャリア信号よりもシングルキャリア信号の方が適していると考えられる。そのため、基地局装置1は、例えばセルの端エリアに対してはシングルキャリア信号、端エリア以外のエリアに対してはマルチキャリア信号を用いてもよい。
基地局装置1が衛星である場合、基地局装置1は、端末装置2との仰角に応じて、端末装置2への下りリンク通信で使用する信号波形を決定してもよい。例えば、仰角が低い場合は、仰角が高い場合と比べて、大電力での送信が必要である。このため、マルチキャリア信号よりもシングルキャリア信号の方が適していると考えられる。そこで、基地局装置1は、端末装置2との仰角が閾値未満の場合はシングルキャリア信号、閾値以上の場合はマルチキャリア信号を、端末装置2へ使用する信号波形に決定してもよい。
基地局装置1が衛星である場合、基地局装置1は自局の高度に応じて、端末装置2との下りリンク通信で使用する信号波形を決定してもよい。例えば、衛星の高度が高い場合は、衛星の高度が低い場合と比べて、大電力での送信が必要である。このため、マルチキャリア信号よりもシングルキャリア信号の方が適していると考えられる。そこで、基地局装置1は、自局(衛星)の高度が閾値以上の場合はシングルキャリア信号、閾値未満の場合はマルチキャリア信号を、端末装置2へ使用する信号波形に決定してもよい。または、基地局装置1が衛星のような非地上局であるか、地上基地局であるかに応じて、信号波形を決定してもよい。
基地局装置1が衛星である場合、基地局装置1は、自局(衛星)の性能またはタイプに応じて、端末装置2との下りリンク通信に使用する信号波形を決定してもよい。例えば、大電力での送信が不能な衛星の場合(例えば低コスト衛星など)、マルチキャリア信号よりもシングルキャリア信号の方が適していると考えられる。そこで、基地局装置1は、例えば自局が大電力での送信が不能でありかつ大電力より小さい小電力での送信が可能な場合はシングルキャリア信号、大電力での送信が可能な場合はマルチキャリア信号を、端末装置2へ使用する信号波形に決定してもよい。大電力は閾値以上の電力であり、小電力は閾値未満の電力である。
基地局装置1は、端末装置2に対する上りリンクの所望の受信タイミングに対する実際の受信タイミングの差分を測定し、測定した差分だけ上りリンクの送信タイミングをずらすように端末装置2の送信タイミングを調整する制御を行う。基地局装置1は衛星など端末装置2との距離が長距離になる可能性がある装置でもよい。基地局装置1は、端末装置2の送信タイミングに関する情報として、送信タイミングオフセットまたはタイミングアドバンス(Timing advance)に関する情報を端末装置2に送信する。端末装置2は、基地局装置1から受信した情報に基づき、上りリンクの送信タイミングを調整する。
本実施形態の説明の冒頭に記載したように、上りリンクでシングルキャリア伝送を実施する場合に、PAPRの増加を抑制するため、周波数領域の連続的なリソース割り当てる必要があった。
端末装置A宛の信号(A0~A3)、端末装置B宛の信号(B0~B3)、端末装置C宛の信号(C0~C3)を結合する処理を、トランスフォームプリコーディングの前処理として行う。本処理をマッピングと呼ぶが、呼称はこれによらない。本例ではA0~A3、B0~B3、C0~C3の順に信号をマッピングしているが、この順序は一例であり、他の順序でもよい。
本実施形態において、FFT/IFFTサイズとは、以下のいずれか1つのことを表していてもよい。なお、*は乗算を表す。
・2のべき乗
・リソースグリッドのサイズ*ブロックごとのサブキャリア数(The size of the resource grid*Number of subcarriers per resource block)
・上りリンクまたは下りリンク送信用のスケジュールされた、サブキャリア数によって表される帯域幅(Scheduled bandwidth for uplink or downlink transmission, expressed as a number of subcarriers)
・上りリンクまたは下りリンク送信用のスケジュールされた、リソースブロック数によって表される帯域幅*1ブロックあたりのサブキャリア数 (Scheduled bandwidth for uplink transmission, expressed as a number of resource blocks)*(Number of subcarriers per resource block)
・2a*3b*5cを満たすサイズ(a,b,cは正の整数)
本実施形態において、以下のシグナリング情報を基地局装置から端末装置に送信してもよい。
・トランスフォームプリコーディングの種類
基地局装置はトランスフォームプリコーディングの種類を特定可能な情報を端末装置に送信してもよい。端末装置は、受信した情報に基づき、基地局装置で行われたトランスフォームプリコーディングの種類を特定し、特定した種類に応じた受信処理を行う。例えば、受信した情報から、トランスフォームプリコーディングのサイズがFFTサイズであること特定した場合は、複数の端末装置の信号を結合した後にトランスフォームプリコーディングが基地局装置で実行される(図22または図23参照)ことを判断できる。端末装置は、判断結果に応じた受信処理を行う。一方で、端末装置は、受信した情報からトランスフォームプリコーディングのサイズが周波数リソースに応じたDFTサイズであることを特定した場合は、各端末装置の信号ごとにトランスフォームプリコーディングが基地局装置で実行される(図24または図25参照)ことを判断できる。端末装置は、判断結果に応じた受信処理を行う。つまり、端末装置は、図22または図23の基地局装置の構成に対応する受信処理と、図24または図25の基地局の構成に対応する受信処理とを切り替えることができる。
基地局装置は、既知信号の複素信号点情報を端末装置に送信してもよい。端末装置は、受信した情報に基づいて、既知信号の復号を行ってもよい。また、基地局装置は、既知信号が挿入(図23参照)されているかに関する情報を送信してもよい。端末装置は、既知信号が挿入されている場合は、自端末装置に割り当てられたリソース以外のリソースには既知信号が挿入されたと判断し、挿入されていない場合は、他端末装置に対する信号が送信されていると判断してもよい。例えば図24の構成の変形例として、端末装置Bおよび端末装置Cの代わりに既知信号を用いる。端末装置Aは、既知信号が挿入されたと判断した場合は、自端末装置に割り当てられたリソース以外のリソースには既知信号が挿入されたと判断し、既知信号を復号する。端末装置Aは、既知信号が挿入されていない判断した場合は、自端末装置に割り当てられたリソース以外のリソースには他端末装置に対する信号が挿入されたと判断する。
