    [0001] The present invention relates to an OAM multiplexing communication system and an inter-mode interference elimination method of subjecting a radio signal to spatial multiplex transmission by using orbital angular momentum (OAM) of an electromagnetic wave. BACKGROUND ART
    [0002] A technique of subjecting a radio signal to spatial multiplex transmission using OAM is effective to improve a transmission capacity in wireless communication. An electric wave having an OAM mode has a feature that an equiphase surface thereof is distributed in a spiral form along a rational direction centering on a propagation axis of a beam, and a mode in which a cycle of a spiral formed by an equiphase surface is 2π×k will be referred to as an OAM mode k. Different OAM modes have orthogonality in a rotational direction, and thus signals in a plurality of OAM modes can be subjected to spatial multiplex transmission. For example, since signals in an OAM mode 1 and an OAM mode 2 are orthogonal to each other on a space, even though the signals in the modes are simultaneously transmitted from transmitting antennae, the signals in the OAM mode 1 and the OAM mode 2 can be demultiplexed from each other on a reception side. As a method of generating an OAM mode, a method using a uniform circular array (UCA) in which a plurality of antenna elements are disposed circularly at an equal interval has been reported.
    [0003] In an OAM multiplexing communication system, UCAs used as transmitting and receiving antennae are disposed to face each other, and weight multiplication on a transmission side and weight multiplication on a reception side related to OAM mode transmission can be uniformized regardless of a distance between the transmitting and receiving antennae (Non-Patent Document 1). Herein, a Butler matrix circuit performing a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) applied to transmitting and receiving weight multiplication is mounted, and a calculation amount for digital signal processing related to OAM mode transmission is reduced.
    [0004] FIG. 9 illustrates a configuration example of an OAM multiplexing communication system of the related art. In FIG. 9, each of antennae of a transmitting station and a receiving station is a UCA including L antenna elements. For simplification of description, the number of antenna elements of the UCA of each of the transmitting station and the receiving station is the same as a spatial multiplex number (L multiplex).
    [0005] When a transmission signal sequentially is input, a serial (S)/parallel (P) conversion/signal processing unit 11 of the transmitting station converts the transmission signal sequence into L parallel bit strings, performs modulation on each bit string, and outputs a transmission signal sequence sl (where I = 1, 2, ..., and L). A transmitting OAM mode generation unit 14 receives the transmission signal sequence sl, performs DFT calculation, and outputs a result thereof to each antenna element of a transmitting UCA 15. The transmitting UCA 15 transmits an output signal from the transmitting OAM mode generation unit 14.
    [0006] A receiving UCA 21 of the receiving station receives a signal in a spatially multiplexed OAM mode with each antenna element, and outputs the signal to a receiving OAM mode demultiplex unit 22. The receiving OAM mode demultiplex unit 22 performs inverse DFT (IDFT) on a received signal in each antenna element, separates the spatially multiplexed OAM mode, and outputs a received signal sequence rl (where I = 1, 2, ..., and L). A signal processing/P/S conversion unit 24 demodulates each received signal sequence, and thus outputs received signal sequences rearranged in an original order.
    [0007] FIG. 9 schematically illustrates a positional relationship between the transmitting UCA 15 and the receiving UCA 21. Circularly disposed antenna elements (indicated by • in FIG. 9) forming the transmitting UCA 15 and the receiving UCA 21 are disposed such that each antenna aperture surface is perpendicular to a straight line (optical axis) W connecting the centers P and Q of the antenna elements. In this case, a channel matrix H between the transmitting UCA 15 and the receiving UCA 21 is a circulant matrix regardless of a distance between the transmitting and receiving UCAs. According to property of the circulant matrix, a channel matrix is subjected to eigenvalue decomposition through DFT calculation and IDFT calculation, and thus the received signal rl in the OAM multiplexing communication system illustrated in FIG. 9 is as follows at all times.[Math. 1]r l = λ l s l
    [0008] Therefore, a signal can be received without interference between modes regardless of a transmission distance. Here, λl is a singular value in the mode I. PRIOR ART DOCUMENTNON-PATENT DOCUMENT
    [0009] Non-Patent Document 1: E. Sasaki, M. Hirabe, T. Maru, N. Zein, "Pragmatic OAM with Polarization Multiplexing Transmission for future 5G Ultra-High Capacity Radio", in Proceedings of EuMA2016, Oct. 2016. DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTIONPROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED BY THE INVENTION
    [0010] In the configuration disclosed in Non-Patent Document 1, a transmitting UCA and a receiving UCA are disposed at positions facing each other, and the configuration is restricted to an open environment in which there is no reflected wave. However, in an actual operation, it is necessary to take into consideration a case where the transmitting UCA and the receiving UCA are provided at fixed positions deviated from front facing disposition, or the influence of a reflected wave or the like due to a surrounding environment. When a channel matrix between the transmitting UCA and the receiving UCA is deviated from ideal front facing disposition due to the influence, interference between OAM modes remains in an output stage of a Butler matrix circuit of a reception side. Thus, the received signal rl in the OAM mode I is represented in the following equation.[Math. 2]r l = λ i s l + ∑ k ≠ l λ i , ks k
    [0011] Consequently, communication quality deteriorates due to interference from an OAM mode, indicated in the second term, which is different from the OAM mode I. In Equation (2), λ'l is a constant multiplied by an output in the OAM mode I, and λ'l,k is a constant indicating an interference amount from the OAM mode k to the OAM mode I.
    [0012] A proposition of the present invention is to provide an OAM multiplexing communication system and an inter-mode interference elimination method capable of suppressing inter-mode interference occurring due to deviation of an optical axis, a tilt, or a reflected wave between a transmitting UCA and a receiving UCA with low computational complexity.

    [0024] FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of an M-UCA of an OAM multiplexing communication system of the present invention. In FIG. 1, a multi (M)-UCA has a configuration in which a plurality of UCAs are disposed concentrically or at an equal interval. Herein, a configuration in which four UCAs are disposed is illustrated, and the UCAs are referred to as a first UCA, a second UCA, a third UCA, and a fourth UCA in this order from the inner UCAs. A transmitting UCA will be referred to as an n-th transmitting UCA, and a receiving UCA will be referred to as an n-th receiving UCA. As an example, each UCA includes eight antenna elements (indicated by • in FIG. 1), but the number of antenna elements of each UCA is not necessarily required to be the same.

    [0026] FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of Example 1 of the OAM multiplexing communication system of the present invention. In FIG. 2, a transmitting station includes an S/P conversion/signal processing unit 11, L transmitting weight multiplication units such as a first transmitting weight multiplication unit 13-1 to an L-th transmitting weight multiplication unit 13-L, MTX transmitting OAM mode generation units such as a first transmitting OAM mode generation unit 14-1 to an MTX-th transmitting OAM mode generation unit 14-MTX respectively corresponding to MTX transmitting UCAs 15-1 to 15-MTX, and a reference signal transmission unit 16.
    [0027] A receiving station includes MRX receiving OAM mode demultiplex units such as a first receiving OAM mode demultiplex unit 22-1 to an MRX-th receiving OAM mode demultiplex unit 22-MRX respectively corresponding to MRX receiving UCAs 21-1 to 21-MRX, L receiving weight multiplication units such as a first receiving weight multiplication unit 23-1 to an L-th receiving weight multiplication unit 23-L, a signal processing/P/S conversion unit 24, a channel state acquisition unit 26, a weight calculation unit 27, and a feedback unit 28.
    [0028] The OAM multiplexing communication system of Example 1 has an antenna configuration using an M-UCA unlike the configuration of the related art. There are differences in that a weight calculated by acquiring channel information is fed back to the transmitting station, and weights calculated based on the channel information are multiplied in the transmitting station and the receiving station.
    [0029] First, input and output relationships of the transmitting station and the receiving station in Example 1 are expressed by equations. The transmitting station performs S/P conversion on an input transmission signal sequence that is thus converted into L parallel bit strings, and modulates each bit string so as to generate a transmission signal sl (where I = 1, 2, ..., and L)
    [0030] The l-th transmitting weight multiplication unit 13-I multiplies the transmission signal sl by a transmitting weight Vl so as to output s'l. V l ∈ ℂ M TX × 1s i ≜ V l s l =s i 1 , … , s iM TXT
    [0031] The m-th OAM mode generation unit 14-m receives a signal vector S'[m] = (s'1[m],...,s'L[m])T in which m-th signals s'l[m] (where I = 1, 2, ..., and L) respectively output from the first transmitting weight multiplication unit 13-1 to the L-th transmitting weight multiplication unit 13-L are arranged, and multiplies S'[m] by a DFT matrix Dm TX, and outputs a result thereof. Here, Dm Tx is a DFT matrix of NTX(m)×L of which a component corresponding to p row and q column is given by [Expression 5], j in the expression indicates an imaginary number unit, and l(q) indicates a discrete frequency index of DFT on the q-th column. exp − j 2 π p − 1 ⋅ l q N TX m
    [0032] A process related to the DFT calculation may be performed by an analog circuit using the same Butler matrix as in Non-Patent Document 1, and may be performed through digital signal processing. Output signals from the first transmitting OAM mode generation unit 14-1 to the MTX-th transmitting OAM mode generation unit 14-MTX are transmitted from the transmitting UCAs 15-1 to 15-MTX respectively coupled to DFT calculation units to the receiving UCAs. In this case, a signal received by the k-th receiving UCA 21-k is as follows.[Math. 6] ∑ m = 1 M TX H m , kD m TX S ′ m
    [0033] In Expression (3), for simplification of description, a noise term is omitted.
    [0034] Next, the k-th receiving OAM mode demultiplex unit 22-k of the receiving station multiplies the signal received by the k-th receiving UCA 21-k by an IDFT matrix Dk RX, and outputs a result thereof. Here, a component corresponding to p row and q column of the IDFT matrix Dk RX is expressed as follows.D k RX ∈ ℂ L × N RX k
    [0035] Component corresponding to p row and q column: expj 2 πl p ⋅ q − 1 N RX k
    [0036] An output from the k-th reception IDFT calculation unit 22-k is as follows. r k 1 , … , r k L T = ∑ m = 1 M TX D k RX H m , kD m TX S ′ m
    [0037] The l-th receiving weight multiplication unit 23-1 receives the following vector r[l] in which l-th outputs rk[l] (where k = 1, 2, ..., and MRX) from the first receiving OAM mode demultiplex unit 22-1 to the MRX-th receiving OAM mode demultiplex unit 22-MRX are arranged, and multiplies the vector by a receiving weight Ul, and outputs a result thereof. Input r l ≜r 1 l , … , r M RXl T ∈ ℂ M RX × 1
    [0038] The signal processing/P/S conversion unit 24 estimates a transmitted information bit string based on the signal rl subjected to receiving weight multiplication, performs P/S conversion on the estimated information bit string, and arranges the information bit strings in an original order.
    [0039] The reference signal transmission unit 16 of the transmitting station transmits a known signal sequence for estimating a channel response to the receiving station.
    [0040] The channel state acquisition unit 26 of the receiving station is coupled to the first receiving OAM mode demultiplex unit 22-1 to the MRX-th receiving OAM mode demultiplex unit 22-MRX, and estimates a channel response based on the known signal sequence. The estimated information is output to the weight calculation unit 27.
    [0041] The weight calculation unit 27 determines a transmitting weight and a receiving weight based on an estimated value in the channel state acquisition unit 26, sets the weights in the first receiving weight multiplication unit 23-1 to the L-th receiving weight multiplication unit 23-L of the receiving station, and sets the weights in the first transmitting weight multiplication unit 13-1 to the L-th transmitting weight multiplication unit 13-L of the transmitting station via the feedback unit 28.
    [0042] Next, a description will be made of a method of calculating a transmitting weight and a receiving weight in the weight calculation unit 27. For clarification of description, an interference component remaining in the signal rl subjected to receiving weight multiplication is expressed by an equation. First, when the M-UCAs of the transmitting station and the receiving station face each other, and thus interference does not occur, the channel matrix Hm,k is made diagonal as a result of being multiplied by the IDFT matrix Dk RX from the left and multiplied by the DFT matrix Dm TX from the right. Therefore, the signal rl output from the l-th receiving weight multiplication unit 23-1 is as follows.[Math. 9]r l = U l Λ l V l s l
    [0043] Λl in Equation (4) is a matrix of MRX×MTX representing each channel response. It can be seen from Equation (4) that interference from other signals (different OAM modes) having different indexes l does not occur in front facing. Therefore, in the same manner as in the configuration of the related art, the signal processing/P/S conversion unit 24 can estimate a bit string sl for each signal rl without interference from other modes. On the other hand, in other cases, the signal rl is a signal including interference from other modes.[Math. 10]r l = U l Λ l V l s l + U l ∑ k ≠ l Λ l , kV k s k
    [0044] The second term in Equation (5) is an interference component, and signal quality deteriorates due to interference from transmission signals having different indexes I. Λl,k is a matrix of MRX×MTX representing interference from the OAM mode k to the OAM mode I.
    [0045] Hereinafter, a description will be made of a method of determining the transmitting weight Vl and the receiving weight Ul for improving communication quality by suppressing an interference component (a signal component of the second term in Equation (5)).
    [0046] In Example 1, a matrix of an interference component is subjected to singular value decomposition (SVD), and a vector orthogonal to a left singular vector with a large interference amount is used as a receiving weight, and thus the interference component is suppressed.
    [0047] First, if the matrix Λl (INT) of the interference component is subjected to singular value decomposition in order to find out a singular vector with a large interference amount, Equation (6) is obtained.[Math. 11] Λ l INT ≜ Λ l , 1 , … , Λ l , l − 1 , Λ l , l + 1 , … , Λ l , L∈ ℂ M RX × M TX L − 1 Λ l INT = u l , 1 , … , u l , M RX σ 1O ⋱O M RX × M TX L − 1 − M RXOσ M RX v l , 1 , … , v l , M TX L − 1 H
    [0048] Each of the matrixes (u l,1, ... , ul,MRX ) and (v l,1, ..., v l,MTX (L-1)) is a unitary matrix.
    [0049] O n×m indicates a zero matrix of n rows and m columns. The singular value σm is assumed to be |σ1| > |σ2| > ··· > |σ MRX |.
    [0050] The received signal in Equation (5) may be rewritten as follows by using the singular value decomposition result in Equation (6).[Math. 13]r l = U l Λ l V l s l + U l ∑ m = 1 M RX σ m u l , mv l , m H V 1 s 1 ⋮ V l − 1s l − 1 V l + 1s l + 1⋮ V L s L
    [0051] It can be seen from Equation (7) that, if the received signal rl is multiplied by the complex conjugate transposition uH l,m of the left singular vector ul,m, components other than σmul,mvH l,m are removed from the interference component (the second term in Equation (7)) included in an output from the l-th receiving weight multiplication unit 23-1 due to the orthogonality between left singular vectors. In order to effectively suppress interference in a received signal, the left singular vector uH l,MRX in which a singular value is the minimum may be used as the receiving weight Ul such that a great interference term is removed. In this case, the received signal rl is given as follows, and it can be seen that the interference component is suppressed after receiving weight multiplication. A receiving weight may be a vector other than the left singular vector uH l,MRX with the minimum singular value, for example, may be uH l,MRX-1. r l = u l , M RX H Λ l V l s l + u l , M lRX H ∑ m = 1 M RX σ m u l , mv l , m H V 1 s 1 ⋮ V l − 1s l − 1 V l + 1s l + 1⋮ V L s L = u l , M RX H Λ l V l s l + σ M RXv l , M RX HV 1 s 1 ⋮ V l − 1s l − 1 V l + 1s l + 1⋮ V L s L ∵ u l , m H u l , n = 0 ,ifn ≠ mand u l , n H u l , n = 1
    [0052] On the other hand, the matrix uH l,MRXΛl forms an eigenspace not including a main interference component in a received signal. In the eigenspace, when a signal is transmitted by using an eigenvector having nonzero eigenvalues as a transmitting weight, it is possible to realize transmission of a signal not including a main interference component. Specifically, among right singular vectors obtained by subjecting the matrix uH l,MRXΛl to singular value decomposition, a right singular vector having nonzero singular values is determined as the transmitting weight Vl. [Math. 15]u l , M RX H Λ l = θ l , 1 μ l , 1O 1 × M TX − 1Φ l , 1 , … , Φ l , M TX H
    [0053] Here,θ l , 1 ∈ ℂ 1 × 1
    [0054] When the right singular vector Φ l,1 in Equation (8) is determined as the transmission vector V l, the following equation is given. r l = u l , M RX H Λ l Φ l , 1s l + σ M RXv l , M RX HV 1 s 1 ⋮ V l − 1s l − 1 V l + 1s l + 1⋮ V L s L = θ l , 1μ l , 1s l + σ M RXv l , M RX HV 1 s 1 ⋮ V l − 1s l − 1 V l + 1s l + 1⋮ V L s L ≅ θ l , 1μ l , 1s l
    [0055] Thus, interference occurring due to a tilt or a reflected wave is reduced, and thus it is possible to increase bit estimation accuracy in a demodulation unit. If a receiving weight is not uH l,MRX, a transmitting weight is determined based on a singular value decomposition result of the multiplication result UlΛl,m between the receiving weight Ul and the matrix Λl,m.
    [0056] FIG. 3 illustrates process procedures in Example 1 of the OAM multiplexing communication system of the present invention. In FIG. 3, if a transmission signal sequence is input to the transmitting station, the S/P conversion/signal processing unit 11 generates a modulated signal (S11). Next, the reference signal transmission unit 16 of the transmitting station transmits a known signal sequence (S12). When the receiving station receives the known signal sequence, the channel state acquisition unit 26 estimates responses Λl and Λl,k for each channel based on the known signal sequence (S21). The weight calculation unit 27 performs singular value decomposition represented in Equations (5) and (8) based on the estimated responses Λl and Λl,k for the channel, determines the transmitting weight Vl and the receiving weight Ul (S22), and sets the receiving weight Ul in each receiving weight multiplication unit 23 of the receiving station. The feedback unit 28 sets the transmitting weight Vl determined by the weight calculation unit 27 in each transmitting weight multiplication unit 13 of the transmitting station (S23).
    [0057] Next, each transmitting weight multiplication unit 13 of the transmitting station multiplies the modulated signal generated in step S11 by the transmitting weight Vl (S13). The transmitting OAM mode generation unit 14 performs an OAM mode generation process on the modulated signal multiplied by the transmitting weight Vl according to DFT calculation (S14), and signals in respective OAM modes are respectively transmitted from the transmitting UCAs 15 of the transmitting station (S15).
    [0058] The respective receiving UCAs 21 of the receiving station receive the signals transmitted from the transmitting station (S24), and the receiving OAM mode demultiplex units 22 perform an OAM mode demultiplex process on the signals according to IDFT calculation (S25). Next, each receiving weight multiplication unit 23 multiplies the received signals in the respective OAM modes by the receiving weight Ul (S26). The signal processing/P/S conversion unit 24 demodulates the received signals in which inter-mode interference is suppressed through the above processes, to be converted into bit strings, and arranges the bit strings into an original information bit string through P/S conversion, and outputs the information bit string (S27). (Modification of Example 1)
    [0059] FIG. 4 illustrates a modified configuration of Example 1 of the OAM multiplexing communication system of the present invention. In FIG. 4, a transmitting station includes an S/P conversion/signal processing unit 11, L transmitting weight multiplication units such as a first transmitting weight multiplication unit 13-1 to an L-th transmitting weight multiplication unit 13-L, MTX transmitting OAM mode generation units such as a first transmitting OAM mode generation unit 14-1 to an MTX-th transmitting OAM mode generation unit 14-MTX respectively corresponding to MTX transmitting UCAs 15-1 to 15-MTX, and a weight calculation unit 17.
    [0060] A receiving station includes MRX receiving OAM mode demultiplex units such as a first receiving OAM mode demultiplex unit 22-1 to an MRX-th receiving OAM mode demultiplex unit 22-MRX respectively corresponding to MRX receiving UCAs 21-1 to 21-MRX, L receiving weight multiplication units such as a first receiving weight multiplication unit 23-1 to an L-th receiving weight multiplication unit 23-L, a signal processing/P/S conversion unit 24, and a weight calculation unit 29.
    [0061] A difference from Example 1 illustrated in FIG. 2 is that the receiving station does not perform channel estimation, and the transmitting station and the receiving station separately determine a transmitting weight and a receiving weight. In other words, in the configuration illustrated in FIG. 4, a channel response is estimated in advance in the transmitting station and the receiving station, an estimated value is held in the weight calculation unit 17 of the transmitting station and the weight calculation unit 29 of the receiving station, the weight calculation units 17 and 29 determine a transmitting weight and a receiving weight based on the channel response, and set the weights in the transmitting weight multiplication unit 13 and the receiving weight multiplication unit 23.
    [0062] FIG. 5 illustrates process procedures in the modified configuration of Example 1 of the OAM multiplexing communication system of the present invention. In FIG. 5, if a transmission signal sequence is input to the transmitting station, the weight calculation unit 17 determines the transmitting weight Vl based on a channel response value held in advance, and sets the transmitting weight in each transmitting weight multiplication unit 13 (S31). The S/P conversion/signal processing unit 11 generates a modulated signal (S32). Next, each transmitting weight multiplication unit 13 multiplies the generated modulated signal by the transmitting weight Vl (S33). The transmitting OAM mode generation unit 14 performs an OAM mode generation process on the modulated signal multiplied by the transmitting weight Vl according to DFT calculation (S34), and signals in respective OAM modes are respectively transmitted from the transmitting UCAs 15 (S35).
    [0063] On the other hand, in the receiving station, the weight calculation unit 29 determines the receiving weight Ul based on a channel response value held in advance, and sets the receiving weight in each receiving weight multiplication unit 23 (S41). The respective receiving UCAs 21 receive the signals transmitted from the transmitting station
    [0064] (S42), and the receiving OAM mode demultiplex units 22 perform an OAM mode demultiplex process on the signals according to IDFT calculation (S43). Next, each receiving weight multiplication unit 23 multiplies the received signals in the respective OAM modes by the receiving weight Ul (S44). The signal processing/P/S conversion unit 24 demodulates the received signals in which inter-mode interference is suppressed through the above processes, to be converted into bit strings, and arranges the bit strings into an original information bit string through P/S conversion, and outputs the information bit string (S45). (Example 2)
    [0065] FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of Example 2 of the OAM multiplexing communication system of the present invention. In FIG. 6, a transmitting station includes an S/P conversion/signal processing unit 12, L transmitting weight multiplication units such as a first transmitting weight multiplication unit 13-1 to an L-th transmitting weight multiplication unit 13-L respectively receiving M1 to ML signals, MTX transmitting OAM mode generation units such as a first transmitting OAM mode generation unit 14-1 to an MTX-th transmitting OAM mode generation unit 14-MTX respectively corresponding to MTX transmitting UCAs 15-1 to 15-MTX, and a reference signal transmission unit 16.
    [0066] A receiving station includes MRX receiving OAM mode demultiplex units such as a first receiving OAM mode demultiplex unit 22-1 to an MRX-th receiving OAM mode demultiplex unit 22-MRX respectively corresponding to MRX receiving UCAs 21-1 to 21-MRX, L receiving weight multiplication units such as a first receiving weight multiplication unit 23-1 to an L-th receiving weight multiplication unit 23-L, a signal processing/P/S conversion unit 25 receiving M1 to ML received signals, a channel state acquisition unit 26, a weight calculation unit 27, and a feedback unit 28.
    [0067] The OAM multiplexing communication system of Example 2 is different from the OAM multiplexing communication system of Example 1 in that a modulated signal that is input to the single transmitting weight multiplication unit 13 has a plurality of systems, and a received signal that is output from the single receiving weight multiplication unit 23 has a plurality of systems. Since the number of input systems is increased, matrix sizes of a transmitting weight and a receiving weight differ, and processing methods in the transmitting weight multiplication unit 13 and the receiving weight multiplication unit 23 differ. Consequently, there is a difference from Example 1 in that, among OAM modes, an OAM mode having a high signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) is selected and used, a throughput is improved while compensating for interference due to a tilt, axis deviation, or multipaths.
    [0068] The l-th transmitting weight multiplication unit 13-1 receives Ml parallel modulated signals sl, and outputs modulated signals s'l obtained by multiplying the respective modulated signals by the transmitting weight Vl. s l =s l , 1 , … , s l , M l T ∈ ℂ M l × 1V l ∈ ℂ M TX × M l s i ≜ V l s l =s i 1 , … , s iM TXT
    [0069] The l-th receiving weight multiplication unit 23-1 receives outputs (rl[l],...,rMRX[l])T from the first receiving OAM mode demultiplex unit 22-1 to the MRX-th receiving OAM mode demultiplex unit 22-MRX, and outputs received signals rl obtained by multiplying the outputs by the receiving weight Ul. U l ∈ ℂ M l × M RX r l ≜r l , 1 , … , r l , M l T = U l r 1 l , … , r M RXl T
    [0070] When the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna are not provided in an ideal open environment and are not disposed to face each other, the received signal vector rl is given as follows.[Math. 18]r l = U l Λ l V l s l + U l ∑ k ≠ l Λ l , kV k s k
    [0071] The second term in Equation (9) is an interference component.
    [0072] Hereinafter, a description will be made of a method of determining the transmitting weight Vl and the receiving weight Ul in Example 2. The received signal in Equation (9) may be rewritten as follows by using the singular value decomposition result in Equation (6). r l = U l Λ l V l s l + U l ∑ m = 1 M RX σ m u l , mv l , m H V 1 s 1 ⋮ V l − 1s l − 1 V l + 1s l + 1⋮ V L s L
    [0073] In other words, (uH l,MRX-(Ml-1),...,uH l,MRX-1,uH l,MRX) is multiplied, and thus a vector space including a main interference component can be eliminated. Next, a transmitting weight and a receiving weight are determined by using a singular vector obtained by subjecting the matrix (uH l,MRX-(Ml-1),...,uH l,MRX-1,uHl,MRX)Λl of the main signal component to singular value decomposition. Consequently, eigenmode transmission can be performed while reducing inter-mode interference. A singular value decomposition result of the identical matrix is as follows.[Math. 21] u l , M RX − M − 1 H , … , u l , M RX − 1 H , u l , M RX H Λ l = θ l imgθ l ker μ l , 1 O ⋱O M l × M TXOμ l , M l Φ l imgΦ l kerH
    [0074] Here, Θl (img) and Θl (ker) are respectively a left singular vector corresponding to nonzero singular values of (uH l,MRX-(Ml-1),...,uH l,MRX-1,uH l,MRX)Λl and a left singular vector corresponding to zero singular values thereof, and Φl (img) and Φl (ker) are respectively a right singular vector corresponding to nonzero singular values of the identical matrix and a right singular vector corresponding to zero singular values thereof. The transmitting weight Vl and the receiving weight Ul are determined as in Equation (11) based on the singular value decomposition result represented in Equation (10).[Math. 22] V l = Φ l img U l =θ l imgHu l , M RX − M l − 1 H , … , u l , M RX − 1 H , u l , M RX H
    [0075] In this case, the received signal rl is output as a signal in which interference is suppressed as follows. r l = U l Λ l V l s l + U l ∑ m = 1M RX − M l σ m u l , mv l , m H V 1 s 1 ⋮ V l − 1s l − 1 V l + 1s l + 1⋮ V L s L =θ l imgHu l , M RX − M l − 1 H , … , u l , M RX − 1 H , u l , M RX HΛ l Φ l imgs l +θ l imgHu l , M RX − M l − 1 H , … , u l , M RX − 1 H , u l , M RX H ∑ m = 1M RX − M l σ m u l , mv l , m H V 1 s 1 ⋮ V l − 1s l − 1 V l + 1s l + 1⋮ V L s L = diag μ l , 1 , … , μ l , M l s l +θ l imgH ∑ m = M RX − M l − 1M RX σ m v l , m H V 1 s 1 ⋮ V l − 1s l − 1 V l + 1s l + 1⋮ V L s L ≈ diag μ l , 1 , … , μ l , M l s l
    [0076] The multiplex number Ml may be determined based on a selection standard depending on a total capacity computed according to an SINR or the like, and may be determined based on other selection standards. Alternatively, the multiplex number Ml may be a fixed value determined in advance by a system.
    [0077] FIG. 7 illustrates process procedures in Example 2 of the OAM multiplexing communication system of the present invention. In FIG. 7, the reference signal transmission unit 16 of the transmitting station transmits a known signal sequence (S51). When the receiving station receives the known signal sequence is received, the channel state acquisition unit 26 estimates responses Λl and Λl,k for each channel based on the known signal sequence (S61). Next, the weight calculation unit 27 performs singular value decomposition represented in Equation (9) based on the estimated responses Λl and Λl,k for the channel, determines the transmitting weight Vl and the receiving weight Ul as in Equation (10) and also determines the multiplex number Ml, and sets the receiving weight Ul in each receiving weight multiplication unit 23 (S62). The multiplex number Ml may be a value set in advance, and may be an adaptively selected value. The feedback unit 28 sets the multiplex number Ml determined by the weight calculation unit 27 in the S/P conversion/signal processing unit 12 of the transmitting station, and sets the transmitting weight Vl in each transmitting weight multiplication unit 13 of the transmitting station (S63).
    [0078] In the transmitting station, the S/P conversion/signal processing unit 12 in which the multiplex number Ml is set generates a modulated signal (S52). Next, each transmitting weight multiplication unit 13 multiplies the generated modulated signal by the transmitting weight Vl (S53). The transmitting OAM mode generation unit 14 performs an OAM mode generation process on the modulated signal multiplied by the transmitting weight Vl according to DFT calculation (S54), and signals in respective OAM modes are respectively transmitted from the transmitting UCAs 15 of the transmitting station (S55).
    [0079] The respective receiving UCAs 21 of the receiving station receive the signals transmitted from the transmitting station (S64), and the receiving OAM mode demultiplex units 22 perform an OAM mode demultiplex process on the signals according to IDFT calculation (S65). Next, each receiving weight multiplication unit 23 multiplies the received signals in the respective OAM modes by the receiving weight Ul (S66). The signal processing/P/S conversion unit 25 demodulates the received signals in which inter-mode interference is suppressed through the above processes, to be converted into bit strings, and arranges the bit strings into an original information bit string through P/S conversion, and outputs the information bit string (S67). (Modification of Example 2)
    [0080] FIG. 8 illustrates a modified configuration of Example 2 of the OAM multiplexing communication system of the present invention. In FIG. 8, a transmitting station includes an S/P conversion/signal processing unit 12, L transmitting weight multiplication units such as a first transmitting weight multiplication unit 13-1 to an L-th transmitting weight multiplication unit 13-L, MTX transmitting OAM mode generation units such as a first transmitting OAM mode generation unit 14-1 to an MTX-th transmitting OAM mode generation unit 14-MTX respectively corresponding to MTX transmitting UCAs 15-1 to 15-MTX, and a weight calculation unit 17.
    [0081] A receiving station includes MRX receiving OAM mode demultiplex units such as a first receiving OAM mode demultiplex unit 22-1 to an MRX-th receiving OAM mode demultiplex unit 22-MRX respectively corresponding to MRX receiving UCAs 21-1 to 21-MRX, L receiving weight multiplication units such as a first receiving weight multiplication unit 23-1 to an L-th receiving weight multiplication unit 23-L, a signal processing/P/S conversion unit 25 receiving M1 to ML received signals, and a weight calculation unit 29.
    [0082] A difference from Example 2 illustrated in FIG. 6 is that the receiving station does not perform channel estimation, and the transmitting station and the receiving station separately determine a transmitting weight and a receiving weight. In other words, in the configuration illustrated in FIG. 8, a channel response is estimated in advance in the transmitting station and the receiving station, an estimated value is held in the weight calculation unit 17 of the transmitting station and the weight calculation unit 29 of the receiving station, the weight calculation units 17 and 29 determine a transmitting weight and a receiving weight based on the channel response, and set the weights in the transmitting weight multiplication unit 13 and the receiving weight multiplication unit 23. The multiplex number Ml is determined in advance, and the transmitting station and the receiving station have the information regarding the multiplex number Ml together, and can thus perform communication without performing a feedback process.
    [0083] Process procedures in the modified configuration of Example 2 of the OAM multiplexing communication system of the present invention are the same as the process procedures in the modified configuration of Example 1 illustrated in FIG. 5 except that the S/P conversion/signal processing unit 12 of the transmitting station generates modulated signals corresponding to the multiplex number Ml, and the signal processing/P/S conversion unit 25 of the receiving station demodulates received signals corresponding to the multiplex number Ml.
