FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a mobile radio device used in a conventional mobile communication system.
In a mobile communication system, a circular small radio zone (cell) is formed for each base station, and the mobile station communicates with a base station in the cell in which it is located. As shown in the example of FIG. 1, the transceiver of the mobile station receives a radio frequency signal from the reception antenna 101 and inputs it to the reception radio unit 108. The reception radio unit 108 includes a reception amplifier 109 and a mixer 110, and the radio frequency signal is amplified by the reception amplifier 109 inside the reception radio unit 108 and converted into a baseband signal by the mixer 110. This baseband signal is input to the reception baseband unit 111 and converted into reception data.
The received data is input to the terminal interface unit 107, converted into user data that can be interpreted by an external terminal such as a telephone or a videophone, and output to the external terminal. The TPC bit analyzer 112 analyzes the TPC bits inserted in the user data. The TPC bit is transmission power control data instructing transmission power from the partner station to the mobile station, and the mobile station controls transmission power based on this instruction. If the TPC bit is “00”, the transmission amplifier 103 is controlled to increase the transmission power by +1 dB. If the TPC bit is “11”, the transmission amplifier 103 is controlled to decrease the transmission power by −1 dB. .
On the other hand, when transmitting radio waves from a mobile station, user data input from an external terminal is converted into transmission data by the terminal interface 107, and transmission data is input from the terminal interface 107 to the transmission baseband unit 106. Transmission baseband section 106 converts transmission data into a baseband signal and inputs it to transmission radio section 103. The transmission radio section 103 includes an amplifier 104 and a mixer 105. The baseband signal is converted into a radio frequency signal by the mixer 105, and the amplifier 104 amplifies the radio frequency signal according to a specified value from the TPC bit analyzer 112. Done. A radio frequency signal is input from the transmission radio unit 103 to the transmission antenna 102, and radio waves are emitted from the transmission antenna 102.
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a configuration of a base station used in a conventional mobile communication system.
A signal emitted from the antenna 102 of the mobile station is input to the reception antenna 401 of the base station and input to the reception radio unit 408. In reception radio section 408, the received radio frequency signal is amplified by amplifier 409 and converted into a baseband signal by mixer 410. The baseband signal is input to the reception baseband unit 411, converted into reception data, and the converted reception data is output to the network through the interface 407. The reception quality measuring unit 416 measures the reception quality based on the information from the reception baseband unit 411 and inputs the reception quality to the TPC bit inserter 412.
When user data is input from the network, it is converted to transmission data by the interface 407 and input to the TPC bit inserter 412. The TPC bit inserter 412 adds the TPC bit “11” when the reception quality is higher than the reference, and adds the TPC bit “00” to the user data when the reception quality is lower than the reference. TPC bits are inserted every 0.625 ms. The user data in which the TPC bit is inserted is input to the transmission baseband unit 406 and converted into a baseband signal. The baseband signal is input to the transmission radio unit 403. In the transmission radio section 403, the baseband signal is converted into a radio frequency signal by the mixer 405, and the radio frequency signal is amplified by the amplifier 404. A radio frequency signal is input from the transmission radio unit 403 to the transmission antenna 402, and radio waves are emitted from the transmission antenna 402.
In the case of communication using such a CDMA radio access method, all mobile station transmission channels existing in the same area communicate using the same frequency. Therefore, if the transmission power of the transmitter is set to a constant value, a difference in reception quality occurs due to a difference in radio wave propagation environment.
For example, it is assumed that the first mobile station and the second mobile station communicate with the same base station at the same time. The radio wave propagation loss between the first mobile station and the base station is assumed to be 60 [dB], and the radio wave propagation loss between the second mobile station and the base station is assumed to be 90 [dB]. When the transmission powers of the two mobile stations are both +30 [dBm], the reception power at the base station is −30 [dBm] for mobile station 1 and −60 [dBm] for mobile station 2. The received power from the mobile station 1 is +30 [dB] higher than the received power from the mobile station 2, and the signal from the mobile station 1 becomes interference, so that the signal from the mobile station 2 cannot be received.
Therefore, in order to avoid the difficulty of signal reception due to such signal interference and keep the reception quality of all users the same, the CDMA method has conventionally been known to perform closed-loop high-speed transmission power control. Yes. In high-speed transmission power control, a reception signal power to interference power ratio of a reception signal is measured and compared with a reference value in a base station, and a TPC bit pattern for controlling transmission power in a mobile station based on the comparison result Is determined.
In this high-speed transmission power control, the transmission power control width, its maximum value and minimum value are determined as fixed values for all radio channels in accordance with the communication speed.
However, when adopting a method in which the maximum value and the minimum value of transmission power are fixed values in conventional high-speed transmission power control, there are the following problems.

In this embodiment, the receiver is equipped with a position measurement unit 313 and estimates the distance between the base station and the mobile station from the position information of the mobile station and the base station. Assuming that the distance D [m] between the base station and the mobile station is sufficiently smaller than the radius of the earth, and that the earth is a sphere,

The position information of the mobile station can be calculated from GPS (Global Positioning System) information. In this case, position information is calculated using the time difference of arrival times of GPS information transmitted from a plurality of satellites. In addition, using the same method, the position information can be calculated from the time difference between arrival times of signals transmitted from a plurality of base stations. Also, the mobile station location information calculated on the base station side may be reported to the mobile station. In this case, the base station calculates the position information of the mobile station from the time difference between arrival times of signals transmitted from the mobile station to the plurality of base stations. On the other hand, the base station position information is provided to the mobile station by including the base station position information in the downlink control signal transmitted from the base station. The mobile station estimates the distance between the base station and the mobile station by the position measuring device 313 based on the acquired position information of the mobile station and the base station.
Based on the estimated distance, the maximum amplification amount designation circuit 308 determines the maximum transmission power and adjusts the transmission power by designating the maximum amplification factor of the transmission amplifier.
The correspondence between the distance between the mobile station and the base station and the maximum amplification factor by the transmission amplifier 304 may be obtained by measurement by experiment, or may be calculated in the same manner as the previous example by the radio wave propagation loss by a typical radio wave propagation model. You may do it. When calculating by radio wave propagation loss, the Okumura model can be applied as an approximation model of radio wave propagation (by Masaaki Shinji, radio wave propagation for wireless communication). This model is based on the distance characteristics in the urban area where the terrain on the propagation path is about 20m or more and the undulation of the terrain is gentle on the terrain and features that cause locational fluctuation. For features, a method of expressing by correction from reference characteristics is used. In this case, the radio wave propagation loss L [dB] is

In this case, the base station determines the maximum transmission power of the transmission signal transmitted by the mobile station based on the propagation loss information, and transmits information on the maximum transmission power of the transmission signal from the base station to the mobile station. The maximum amplification amount designation circuit of the mobile station designates the maximum amplification amount for the transmission amplifier based on the received maximum transmission power.
Moreover, it is good also as a structure which reports the distance between the base station-mobile station measured with the position measuring device of the mobile station to a base station. In this case, a circuit for determining the maximum transmission power is provided in the base station, and the maximum transmission power of the transmission signal transmitted by the mobile station is adjusted based on the distance information received. Then, information on the maximum transmission power of the transmission signal is reported from the base station to the mobile station.

Also in this case, information on the maximum transmission power of the mobile station adjusted by the base station can be transmitted.
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the maximum transmission power of the mobile station is limited. However, the same invention may be applied to the base station to limit the maximum transmission power of the base station transmission wave.
