摘要:
A base station transmits first discovery signals in different transmission directions from the base station through beamforming; transmits, for one or more first transmission directions corresponding to one or more first discovery signals reported from the mobile station, second discovery signals in second transmission directions within a predetermined range from the first transmission direction; and, for transmitting the second discovery signal, transmits the second discovery signal by multiplying, by a correction precoding vector for adding, to the first transmission direction, a transmission angle difference between the first transmission direction within the predetermined range from the second discovery signal and a second transmission direction of the second discovery signal to be transmitted, and by performing beamforming for the second discovery signal to which the correction precoding vector is multiplied, using a first weight matrix for beamforming in the first transmission direction within the predetermined range from the second discovery signal.

A number L R of receive beamforming circuits provided in a receive beamformer execute receive beamforming (N R /L R ) times with respect to a received signal vector received by N R reception antennas A R , thereby generating a receive beamforming (BF) output vector having N R receive BF output components. A calculation processor calculates a reception power for each of the N R receive BF output components, selects L R receive BF output components in decreasing order of reception power, and determines a suitable receive BF weight matrix including L R reception orthogonal BF weight vectors corresponding to the selected receive BF output components.

The present invention is designed so that, in a communication system to employ massive MIMO, data signals to which beamforming is applied can be transmitted adequately. A radio base station transmits a data signal to a user terminal by applying beamforming using a plurality of antenna elements, and has a determining section that determines the type of a weight to apply to the data signal for beamforming, a generating section that generates a reference signal which the user terminal uses in channel estimation, a weight control section that controls weights to apply to transmitting signals, and a transmitting section that transmits the data signal and the reference signal, and the weight control section determines whether or not to apply a weight to the reference signal based on the type of the weight.

摘要:
A radio transmission station gives beamforming weights to electrical signals to control directions of radio-wave beams emitted from transmitting antennas. The radio transmission station generates a beam-discovery signal (BDS) that enables a radio reception station, after the radio reception station receives the beams, to identify the directions of the beams, and emits the BDS beams in multiple directions. The radio transmission station determines, based on at least one of the surroundings of the radio transmission station and a situation of the radio reception station, an arrangement pattern of multiple resource points to which the BDS is mapped. Based on information that is reported from the radio reception station and indicates a suitable direction among the directions of the beams, the radio transmission station determines a suitable beamforming weight that is to be given to a data signal addressed to the radio reception station.
