Specification
Disclosure herein, a communication device in a wireless communication network, a communication system, control method, and communication program.
Background technique
[0002]Base station and the communication between terminals is carried out in radio frame units. For example, Non-Patent Document 1, in LTE (Long Term Evolution) system, communication between the base station and the terminal is defined to be performed in the subframe (subframe) units.
[0003]Base station and terminal has a receiver therein. Receiver error t data transmission timing tx_err and multipath propagation delay t prop due to the effects of, receiving data at a plurality of reception timings.
[0004]A and 23B are conceptual diagrams receiver receives the data in the plurality of reception timings. For example, in Figure 23A, the receiver timing t 0 and the timing t 1 receives the subframe # 0 in. Here, the timing T 1 , the timing T 0 T than det is a timing delayed by. T Det A, error T Tx_err and multi-path propagation delay T Prop is the sum of the. Similarly, the receiver timing t 2 and time t 3 receives the subframe # 1 at. Here, the timing t 3 , the timing t 2 t than det a timing delayed by.
[0005]
The receiver receives the timing t 0 or t 2 , or t 1 or t 3 and to the top by extracting data of one subframe, performs reception processing.
[0006]
Here, in the situation shown in FIG. 23A, the following problem occurs. For example, the receiver receives the timing t 1 to initiate the extraction of data of subframe # 0 in the first. Further the receiver, the reception timing t 3 to start the extraction of data in subframe # 1 by the first. In this case, the receiver receives the timing t 1 to the end of the data subframe # 0 received by the reception timing t 2 in the form of the top part of the subframe # 1 of the data received in a mix, it extracts data and will. Therefore, the reception timing t 1 and the data of the subframe # 0 received by the reception timing t 2 subframe # 1 of the data the data received at will overlap. As a result, interference occurs between the sub-frame due to the overlap, a problem that communication quality deteriorates.
[0007]
For this problem, for example, there is a technique of adding a CP to the head of the symbols in a subframe (Cyclic Prefix) (cyclic prefix). In Figure 23B, it shows a conceptual diagram of the case of adding the CP to the head of the symbol within the subframe. Here, CP length, the error t transmission timing det assume greater than. For example, the receiver receives the timing t 1 to initiate the extraction of data of subframe # 0 in which CP has been added to the first. Further the receiver, the reception timing t 3 to start the extraction of data in subframe # 1 of CP is added to the top. In the situation shown in Figure 23B, since the CP is added to each subframe, the reception timing t 1 and the data of the subframe # 0 received by the reception timing t 2 subframe # 1 of the data received by overlap that there is no.
[0008]
However, if the error of transmission timing between the base stations is more than the CP length, interference between sub-frame described above occurs. Therefore, it is necessary to synchronize the transmission timing between base stations.
[0009]
Generally, as a typical method of achieving synchronization between base stations, GPS (Global Positioning System), IEEE 1558 v2, and a method of using a reference signal and the like.
[0010]
Hereinafter, described with respect to shortcomings or advantages of the above method.
[0011]
First, the case of using the GPS to the inter-base station synchronization, it is necessary to attach the GPS device to the base station. However, by attaching the GPS device, a high price of the base station is concerned. Further, in an environment where radio wave of the GPS satellite indoor can not receive, has a problem that it is impossible to achieve synchronization between base stations by GPS.
[0012]
Next, the case of using the IEEE 1558 v2 between the base station synchronization, reduce the inter-base station synchronization via a wired backhaul. Therefore, if there is a delay in the backhaul, it has problems such as synchronization error increases.
[0013]
On the other hand, when using the reference signal to the inter-base station synchronization, the base station may achieve inter base station synchronization using a reference signal transmitted from other base stations. Since additional devices for achieving inter-base station synchronization is not required, cost of the base station is expected. Furthermore, failure does not exist between the base station synchronization in the room.
[0014]
One method of using a reference signal between the base station synchronization, for example, Non-Patent Document 2, Network Listening (NL) (hereinafter, the network listening) method called is defined.
[0015]
Hereinafter, described with respect to inter-base station synchronization method using a conventional network listening.
[0016]
24 shows a typical network configuration in the network listening. source BS1 synchronization source base station, the target BS2 shows the synchronization target base station. source BS1 has a freestanding synchronization means such as GPS, it is possible to achieve synchronization with high accuracy. Further, source BS1 transmits a reference signal used in order to inter-base station synchronization for target BS2. On the other hand, target BS2 has no autonomous synchronization means such as GPS. target BS2 by using a reference signal transmitted from the source BS1, it is synchronized with the source BS1.
