Removing interference in non-orthogonal radio access

摘要

A mobile station is classified into one of plural classes based on the reception quality from a base station. The allocations of resource blocks are executed at the base station so that a resource block used for the transmission of a data signal component for a mobile station in a class is not commonly used as a resource block for the transmission of a data signal component for another mobile station belonging to the same class but is commonly used as a resource block used for the transmission of a data signal component for a mobile station belonging to another class. A mobile station, based on the allocation of resource blocks, demodulates a data signal component corresponding to the mobile station after cancelling a data signal component corresponding to a low-quality mobile station.

1. A radio communication system comprising:
plural mobile stations; and a base station for wirelessly communicating with each of the plural mobile stations by using a resource block corresponding to a predetermined time period and to a frequency bandwidth, wherein the base station comprises:
first circuitry configured to function as
a mobile station classifier that classifies each of the mobile stations into one of plural classes based on the reception quality from the base station;a resource block allocator that allocates resource blocks to the plural mobile stations so that a resource block used for transmission of a data signal component to a mobile station in a class is not commonly used as a resource block used for transmission of a data signal component to another mobile station belonging to the same class but is commonly used as a resource block used for transmission of a data signal component to another mobile station belonging to another class;a data signal component generator that generates plural data signal components to be transmitted to the plural mobile stations;a control signal generator that generates a control signal containing information indicating the allocation of the resource blocks by the resource block allocator to the plural mobile stations; anda transmitter that is an element that transmits the plural data signal components generated by the data signal component generator and the control signal generated by the control signal generator, the transmitter being configured to transmit the data signal components in accordance with the allocation of the resource blocks by the resource block allocator, a data signal component, from among the data signal components, being transmitted to a mobile station with an inferior reception quality from the base station with a greater transmission power, whereineach of the plural mobile stations comprises:second circuitry configured to function as
a receiver that receives a data signal for which the plural data signal components have been combined, the data signal being transmitted from the transmitter of the base station, and the control signal transmitted from the transmitter of the base station; anda data signal demodulator that, when the data signal received by the receiver of the mobile station includes a data signal component corresponding to a low-quality mobile station, the low-quality mobile station being a mobile station in a low-quality class that is a class for which the reception quality from the base station is inferior to a class to which the mobile station belongs, demodulates a data signal component corresponding to the mobile station after demodulating and cancelling the data signal component corresponding to the low-quality mobile station, wherein the resource block allocator of the base station executes the allocation of the resource blocks to the plural mobile stations so that a resource block allocated to a mobile station in a class for which the reception quality from the base station is inferior is used commonly as a resource block allocated to one or more mobile stations in a class for which the reception quality from the base station is superior and so that all of one or more resource blocks allocated to a mobile station in a class for which the reception quality from the base station is superior is commonly used as a resource block allocated to a mobile station in a class for which the reception quality from the base station is inferior, the control signal generator of the base station generates the control signal by multiplexing plural control elements, the control elements corresponding one-to-one to the plural mobile stations, with each control element containing (a) mobile station resource block allocation information indicating the allocation of a resource block used for transmission of a data signal component to a mobile station, (b) low-quality mobile station identification information indicating a low-quality mobile station to which the same resource block as the resource block allocated to the mobile station is allocated, the low-quality mobile station being a low-quality mobile station in a low-quality class adjacent to the class to which the mobile station belongs, and (c) mobile-station-self-identification information identifying the mobile station, the low-quality mobile station identification information contained in a control element corresponding to a mobile station in a class for which the reception quality from the base station is the most inferior indicates that there is no low-quality mobile station for the mobile station, the second circuitry is further configured to function as
a control signal first demodulator that demodulates a control element corresponding to the mobile station out of the control signal received by the receiver of the mobile station by using mobile-station-self-identification information of the mobile station; anda control signal second demodulator that executes demodulating, by using low-quality mobile station identification information contained in the demodulated control element, a control element, out of the control signal, corresponding to a low-quality mobile station indicated by the low-quality mobile station identification information until a control element containing low-quality mobile station identification information indicating that there is no low-quality mobile station is demodulated, and the data signal demodulator of the mobile station uses the control element corresponding to the mobile station, to demodulate the data signal component corresponding to the mobile station, after demodulating and cancelling a data signal component corresponding to the low-quality mobile station by using the control element corresponding to the low-quality mobile station.
