Embodiment 1
[0106] Figure 7 is a diagram showing the configuration of the transmitting device of the first embodiment. In addition, the basic structure of the sending device is referred to Figure 4 As described above, it includes input ports 11-1 to 11-M, multiplication circuits 12-1 to 12-M, addition circuits 13-1 to 13-4, transmitters 14-1 to 14-4, and antenna 15-1. ~15-4. That is, this transmission device can form M transmission beams using four antenna elements. In addition, the antennas 15 - 1 to 15 - 4 are not particularly limited, and are arranged, for example, at intervals from half the carrier wavelength to about the carrier wavelength.
[0107] The control channel decoding unit 31 decodes a reverse link control channel from a receiving device (for example, a mobile device). The control channel will be described in detail later, and the control channel includes information on the number of selected beams indicating the number of transmission beams to be used, and beam numbe...
Embodiment 2
[0142] In the communication system of the second embodiment, the correlation coefficient between beams measured in the receiving device and the reception quality information of each beam are directly fed back to the transmitting device using the reverse link. In addition, in the transmitting device, the number of selected beams (the number of MIMO multiplexing) and the number of beams are determined by comparing with a preset threshold.
[0143] Therefore, if Figure 10 As shown, the transmitting apparatus of the second embodiment has a beam selection unit 36 that determines the MIMO multiplexing number and beam number based on the correlation coefficient between the respective transmission beams and the reception quality of each transmission beam. In addition, the function of the beam selection unit 36 is basically the same as Figure 9 The beam selection section 43 shown is the same. In addition, the receiving device of the second embodiment such as Figure 11 A beam ...
Embodiment 3
[0146] Figure 12 is a diagram showing the configuration of the transmission device of the third embodiment. The transmission device of the third embodiment forms a reception beam having the same directivity as a transmission beam, thereby estimating the correlation coefficient between the transmission beams and the quality of each transmission beam. In addition, an antenna array composed of antennas 15 - 1 to 15 - 4 is used in common for transmission and reception.
[0147] Multiplication circuits 52 - 1 to 52 -M multiply signals received via corresponding receivers 51 - 1 to 51 -M by corresponding weight value groups 1 to M, respectively. Wherein, the weight groups 1-M are properly calibrated in advance so as to form receiving beams 1-M having the same directivity as transmitting beams 1-M. In addition, the configurations of the multiplying circuits 52 - 1 to 52 -M are basically the same as those of the multiplying circuits 12 - 1 to 12 -M.
