Abstract

A wireless communication method in a distributed antenna system including a base station and a plurality of antennas that communicates with one or more terminal stations by spatial multiplexing according to control of the base station, the wireless communication method including: calculating, for each candidate terminal station, a partial weight matrix based on channel information acquired between a plurality of antennas of the candidate terminal station to be subjected to communication by spatial multiplexing using two or more antennas among the plurality of antennas and the two or more antennas used for the spatial multiplexing; multiplying a transmission signal for the candidate terminal station by the calculated partial weight matrix for the candidate terminal station; and transmitting, to each candidate terminal station, the transmission signal for the candidate terminal station multiplied by the partial weight matrix for the candidate terminal station.

Claims (17)

1 . A wireless communication method in a distributed antenna system including a base station and a plurality of antennas that communicates with one or more terminal stations by spatial multiplexing according to control of the base station, wherein

the base station includes a precoder configured to calculate, for each candidate terminal station, a partial weight matrix based on channel information acquired between a plurality of antennas of the candidate terminal station to be subjected to communication by spatial multiplexing using two or more antennas among the plurality of antennas and the two or more antennas used for the spatial multiplexing, and

multiply a transmission signal for the candidate terminal station by the calculated partial weight matrix for the candidate terminal station, and

the plurality of antennas transmits, to each candidate terminal station, the transmission signal for the candidate terminal station multiplied by the partial weight matrix for the candidate terminal station.

2 . The wireless communication method according to claim 1 , wherein

the base station

determines the number of antennas to be used for the spatial multiplexing for the candidate terminal station, and

generates the partial weight matrix for the candidate terminal station based on the channel information between the determined number of antennas among the plurality of antennas of the candidate terminal station and the determined number of antennas among the plurality of antennas allocated to the candidate terminal station.

3 . A distributed antenna system comprising: a base station; and a plurality of antennas that communicates with one or more terminal stations by spatial multiplexing according to control of the base station, wherein

the base station includes a precoder configured to calculate, for each candidate terminal station, a partial weight matrix based on channel information acquired between a plurality of antennas of the candidate terminal station to be subjected to communication by spatial multiplexing using two or more antennas among the plurality of antennas and the two or more antennas used for the spatial multiplexing, and multiply a transmission signal for the candidate terminal station by the calculated partial weight matrix for the candidate terminal station, and

the plurality of antennas

transmits, to each candidate terminal station, the transmission signal for the candidate terminal station multiplied by the partial weight matrix for the candidate terminal station.

4 . A wireless communication device comprising: a base station; and a plurality of antennas that communicates with one or more terminal stations by spatial multiplexing according to control of the base station, wherein

the wireless communication device

includes a precoder configured to calculate, for each candidate terminal station to be subjected to communication by spatial multiplexing, a partial weight matrix based on channel information acquired between a plurality of antennas of the candidate terminal station to be subjected to communication by spatial multiplexing using two or more antennas among the plurality of antennas and the two or more antennas used for the spatial multiplexing, and multiply a transmission signal for the candidate terminal station by the calculated partial weight matrix for the candidate terminal station, and

the plurality of antennas

transmits, to each candidate terminal station, the transmission signal for the candidate terminal station multiplied by the partial weight matrix for the candidate terminal station.
