Description
- The present continuation application claims the benefit of priority under 35 U.S.C. §120 to application Ser. No. 10/102,835, filed on Mar. 22, 2002, and under 35 U.S.C. §119 from Japanese Application No. 2001-087040, filed on Mar. 26, 2001, the entire contents of both are hereby incorporated herein by reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a radio communication apparatus, system and method for transmitting a radio signal in accordance with a transmission format in which a channel response calculation preamble signal serving as a reference is inserted.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- In recent years, a radio data communication system which can make high-speed data communications indoors or outdoors is required. In a radio communication system that implements high-speed data communications, distortions due to multi-pass interference, i.e., reception of a transmitted signal via various routes due to reflection by buildings, and the like, must be compensated for.
- When a transmitter transmits a known reference signal (channel response calculation preamble signal), a receiver calculates the channel response of the channel response calculation preamble signal. The channel response indicates the degree of distortion of phase, amplitude, or the like. The receiver multiplies the received data signal by the inverse characteristic of the channel response to compensate the received data signal for any distortion.
- Conventionally, an insertion method of the channel response calculation preamble signal is fixed in a system. This method includes a method of inserting a channel response calculation preamble signal at given time intervals, a method of inserting at the head of a packet or frame sent toward a given user, and the like.
- When a channel variation is large with respect to a packet length, the channel response calculation result obtained from the channel response calculation preamble signal has a large error from the channel distortion which is actually superposed on the data.
- In order to reduce such error, when the frequency of insertion of the channel response calculation preamble signal is increased, the data transmission efficiency lowers when the channel variation is small.
- As described above, in the conventional radio communication system and radio transmission apparatus, a large error is generated between the channel response calculated from the channel response calculation preamble signal and the channel distortion superposed on data due to a channel variation and, as a result, a reception error rate impairs. In order to reduce the error between the calculated channel response and distortion superposed on data, if the frequency of output of the channel response calculation preamble signal is fixed to be high, the data transmission efficiency lowers when the channel variation is small.
- It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a radio communication apparatus, system and method, which can accurately calculate a channel response and can reduce any transmission error even when the channel variation is large.
- According to one aspect of the present invention, a radio communication method for transmitting a transmitted signal including a preamble signal used for calculating a channel response at a receiving side, comprises setting an output frequency of the preamble signal based on a temporal change of a radio propagation environment; and generating the transmitted signal by inserting the preamble signal in accordance with the output frequency.
- With this method, when the channel variation is large, the frequency of output of the channel response calculation preamble signal can be increased, and distortion correction that traces the channel variation along with an elapse of time can be made. On the other hand, when the channel variation is small, the frequency of output of the channel response calculation preamble signal can be decreased, and the data transmission efficiency can be improved.

-
FIG. 1 shows an example of the transmitted signal format of a radio communication system according to the present invention. A transmitted signal is made up of a synchronization preamble signal, at least one channel response calculation preamble signal (k signals inFIG. 1 ), and a plurality of data. The number of channel response calculation preamble signals is variable in accordance with a channel variation. The transmitting side controls the frequency of the channel response calculation preamble signal in accordance with the channel variation. -
FIGS. 2A and 2B are examples of graphs showing temporal variations of power as a channel response. The abscissa shows time, and the ordinate shows the intra-band average power of the channel response.FIG. 2A shows a temporal variation of power when the temporal variation of channel response is large, andFIG. 2B shows a temporal variation of power when the temporal variation of channel response is small. - An appropriate channel format corresponding to the temporal variation of power of the channel response is shown below each graph that shows the temporal variation of power of the channel response. As shown in
FIG. 2A , when the temporal variation of channel response is large, the frequency of insertion of channel response calculation preamble signal is increased. A channel response to be calculated to compensate for a data distortion can be updated in correspondence with the temporal variation of channel response. Therefore, a transmission error can be reduced. That is, when the temporal variation of channel response is large, a data length m between two channel response calculation preamble signals is set to be a small value, thus reducing transmission errors. - On the other hand, as shown in
FIG. 2B , when the temporal variation of channel response is small, the frequency of insertion of the channel response calculation preamble signal is decreased, since the channel response need not be calculated frequently. As a result, the ratio of the total length of channel response calculation preamble signals to the total data length decreases. Hence, the data transmission efficiency can be improved. - In brief, according to the present invention, the number of channel response calculation preamble signals inserted is varied in accordance with the temporal variation of channel response.
- One embodiment of the present invention will be described below.
FIG. 3 shows an example of the transmitted signal format in a radio communication system and radio transmission apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, andFIGS. 4 , 5, and 6 are block diagrams. - In the transmitted signal format shown in
FIG. 3 , a control signal field written with control information, which is used to demodulate data, is added to the transmitted signal format shown inFIG. 1 . Since this control signal field is included, the receiving side can normally demodulate data by recognizing control information written in the control signal field. - In
FIG. 3 , the control signal field is inserted immediately after the first channel response calculation preamble signal, but its insertion position is not particularly limited. The control signal field contains a channel response calculation preamble signal output frequency field. The transmitting side writes transmission frequency information of channel response calculation preamble signals in the channel response calculation preamble signal output frequency field. The receiving side can detect the transmission frequency of channel response calculation preamble signals set at the transmitting side with reference to the contents of the channel response calculation preamble signal output frequency field, and can calculate a channel response at a correct timing. - That is, in the transmitted signal format shown in
FIG. 3 , since the synchronization preamble signal and channel response calculation preamble signal are always attached to the head of a packet. If the receiving side can detect the output frequency, it can detect the position of the next channel response calculation preamble signal. The output frequency indicates that channel response calculation preamble signals are inserted every n symbols, for example. -
FIG. 4 shows an example of a radio transmission apparatus according to the present invention. Abase station 1 andterminal 2 have radio transmission apparatuses with the same arrangement. Atransmitter 11 of thebase station 1 transmits a transmitted signal which contains transmitted data and channel response calculation preamble signals in the transmission format shown inFIG. 3 from anantenna 12. Note that an optimal number of channel response calculation preamble signals is set in accordance with channel variation information output from a channelvariation measurement unit 13. - The
terminal 2 receives the transmitted signal transmitted from thebase station 1 by anantenna 22, and this signal is input to areceiver 24. Thereceiver 24 executes a reception process such as transmission distortion compensation and the like of a received signal using channel response calculation preamble signals, and outputs received data. Also, thereceiver 24 outputs information used to measure a variation of channel response to a channel responsevariation measurement unit 23. As an input signal to the channel responsevariation measurement unit 23, a channel response calculation result or the like of the received signal is used. The channel responsevariation measurement unit 23 measures a variation of channel response, and outputs the measurement result to atransmitter 21. - Note that the measurement method of the variation of channel response includes:
- #1. a method of measuring a change in amplitude or phase from that of the previously calculated channel response every time a channel response is calculated, in consideration of a subcarrier (one or a plurality of subcarriers) that includes the calculated channel response;
- #2. a method of measuring the total (or average) power of respective symbols (as well as data), and measuring a change in amplitude (=power) or phase;
- #3. a method of measuring a change in amplitude or phase of a pilot carrier (for estimating a distortion) contained in each symbol; and the like.
- Furthermore, the
transmitter 21 executes the same process as the transmission process of thebase station 1, and outputs a transmitted signal to thebase station 1 again. In this manner, a signal is transmitted between thebase station 1 andterminal 2. -
FIG. 5 is a block diagram for explaining thetransmitter 11 of the radio transmission apparatus shown inFIG. 4 . Since the radio transmission apparatuses of thebase station 1 andterminal 2 have the same arrangement, thetransmitter 11 of thebase station 1 will be explained as an example. - The signal which is received by the
antenna 12 and has the transmission format shown inFIG. 3 is input to areceiver 14. Thereceiver 14 executes a reception process of the received signal (to be described later), and outputs information used to measure a variation of channel response to a channel responsevariation measurement unit 13. As an input signal to the channel responsevariation measurement unit 13, for example, a channel response calculation result or the like is used. The channel responsevariation measurement unit 13 measures a variation of channel response, and outputs the measurement result to a channel response calculation preamble signal outputfrequency setting unit 31. - The channel response calculation preamble signal output
frequency setting unit 31 determines an optimal output frequency of channel response calculation preamble signals using the measurement result of the channel response variation, and informs a transmittedsignal generator 32 and controlsignal field generator 33 of the output frequency of channel response calculation preamble signals. - The control
signal field generator 33 writes information of the channel response calculation preamble signal output frequency in the control signal field. - Furthermore, transmitted data is converted into a data signal by a
data signal generator 34, and the data signal, a synchronization preamble signal and channel response calculation preamble signals generated by apreamble signal generator 35, and the control signal field generated by the controlsignal field generator 33 are input to the transmittedsignal generator 32. The transmittedsignal generator 32 generates a transmitted signal based on the transmitted signal format shown inFIG. 3 , and outputs it from theantenna 12. - At this time, the channel response calculation preamble signals are inserted at the frequency set by the channel response calculation preamble signal output
frequency setting unit 31. In this manner, the output frequency of channel response calculation preamble signals can be changed in accordance with a variation of channel response. -
FIG. 6 is a block diagram for explaining thereceiver 14 of the radio transmission apparatus of thebase station 1 shown inFIG. 4 . - Referring to
FIG. 6 , the signal which is received by theantenna 12 and has the transmission format shown inFIG. 3 is input to asynchronization unit 41. Thesynchronization unit 41 synchronizes the received signal, and outputs the synchronized received signal to a channelresponse calculation unit 42 anddistortion compensation unit 43. When a channel response is calculated using a channel response calculation preamble signal, the channel response calculation preamble signal is input to the channelresponse calculation unit 42, and other signals are input to thedistortion compensation unit 43. - The channel response calculated by the channel
response calculation unit 42 is input to thedistortion compensation unit 43. Thedistortion compensation unit 43 compensates the received signal for any distortion using the channel response calculated by the channelresponse calculation unit 42. Of the distortion-compensated signal, the control signal field is input to a control signalfield analysis unit 44, which reads out control information required to demodulate, and supplies it to adata demodulation unit 45. Thedata demodulation unit 45 demodulates the distortion-compensated signal, and outputs the demodulated signal as received data. - Furthermore, the control signal
field analysis unit 44 reads out information indicating the channel response calculation preamble signal output frequency, and informs thedistortion compensation unit 43 and channelresponse calculation unit 42 of that channel response calculation preamble signal output frequency. - The channel
response calculation unit 42 supplies a channel response calculation preamble signal to the channelvariation measurement unit 13, which measures the variation of channel response. The frequency of channel response calculation preamble signals to be inserted in the transmitted signal format by thetransmitter 11 is changed in accordance with the measurement result. - In the radio transmission system with the above arrangement, since the frequency of channel response calculation preamble signals to be inserted in the signal format to be transmitted is changed in accordance with the channel variation, the channel response can be accurately calculated even when the channel variation is large, and a transmission error can be reduced.
- Since the channel response calculation preamble signal output frequency is sent to the
distortion compensation unit 43 and channelresponse calculation unit 42, a channel response can be calculated at an accurate timing, and accurate distortion compensation can be made. - Upon receiving this format, the channel
response calculation unit 42 can correctly recognize the reception timing of a channel response calculation preamble signal based on the received channel response calculation preamble signal output frequency information, and can calculate a channel response at a correct timing. Also, thedistortion correction unit 43 can correctly recognize the distortion compensation timing of data or the control signal field based on the received channel response calculation preamble signal output frequency. The distortion-compensated data is input to and demodulated by thedemodulation unit 45. In this way, since the receiving side accurately recognizes the channel response calculation preamble signal output frequency, the data and control signal field can undergo distortion correction at correct timings. For this reason, even when the transmitting side varies the channel response calculation preamble signal output frequency, the data signal can be correctly demodulated. - The transmitted signal format shown in
FIG. 3 contains the channel response calculation preamble signal output frequency field used to inform, from the transmitting side, the receiving side of the channel response calculation preamble signal transmission frequency. In place of assuring the control signal field, as shown inFIG. 1 , information indicating the channel response calculation preamble signal output frequency may be contained in data. - In the above embodiment, the channel response calculation preamble signal output frequency information is written in the transmitted signal. However, in some cases, no channel response calculation preamble signal output frequency information may be written in the transmitted signal. In such case, the control
signal field generator 33 of the transmitter, and the controlsignal analysis unit 44 of the receiver may be omitted. - When the channel response calculation preamble signal output frequency is not available, a method of calculating a correlation between each symbol and a channel response calculation preamble signal on the receiving side, and determining a symbol with high correlation as a channel response calculation preamble signal may be used.
- As an input signal to the channel response
variation measurement unit 13, received signal strength (RSSI) information of a received signal may be used. Using the RSSI, a variation of channel response is measured. In this case, as shown inFIG. 7 , the channel responsevariation measurement unit 13 comprises a received signal strength measurement unit 13-1 and received signal strength variation measurement unit 13-2. The received signal strength measurement unit 13-1 measures the received signal strength of a received signal from theantenna 12, and the received signal strength variation measurement unit 13-2 measures a variation of received signal strength. Furthermore, the result of the received signal strength variation measurement unit 13-2 is input to the channel response calculation preamble signal outputfrequency setting unit 31 of thetransmitter 11, thus setting the channel response calculation preamble signal output frequency in correspondence with the channel variation. - In the embodiment shown in
FIG. 5 , the channel response calculation preamble signal output frequency is set inside the transmitter of the radio transmission apparatus that generates a transmitted signal. However, some radio transmission system may receive channel response calculation preamble signal output frequency information from a communication partner. In such case, the channel responsevariation measurement unit 13 and channel response calculation preamblefrequency setting unit 31 may be omitted. Channel response calculation preamble signals may be inserted into the transmission format of a transmitted signal based on the channel response calculation preamble signal transmission frequency provided from the communication partner. - Additional advantages and modifications will readily occur to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the invention in its broader aspects is not limited to the specific details and representative embodiments shown and described herein. Accordingly, various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the general inventive concept as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
