Abstract:
A radio communication system includes at least one user equipment, a first base station, a second base station, a first gateway, a second gateway, and a switching station. The switching station decides whether or not a gateway through which communication executed by the user equipment should be routed is the second gateway. In a case in which it is decided that the gateway through which communication executed by the user equipment should be routed is the second gateway, the switching station executes control for establishing a first user path for uplink and a second user path that is a radio path. The second base station executes control for establishing a first user path for downlink.
Abstract:
The present invention is designed so that a fading frequency estimation method that can improve the mobility of user terminals in a HetNet can be provided. The fading frequency estimation method according to the present invention includes the steps, in which a radio base station arranges reference signals, using an arrangement format, in which the reference signals, which are used to estimate the fading frequency in the user terminal, are arranged in a relatively high density, in at least part of the radio resources allocated for a downlink shared data channel, and transmits allocation information of the radio resources for the downlink shared data channel to the user terminal, and the user terminal estimates the fading frequency based on the channel estimation values of the reference signals, and transmits the estimated fading frequency to the radio base station in response to a transmission request from the radio base station.
Abstract:
A method and system for carrying out communication adequately in a HetNet even when the radio resource region for downlink control channels is expanded is disclosed. A radio communication method in a radio communication system having a macro base station that forms a macro cell and a small base station that forms a small cell such that at least part of the small cell overlaps the macro cell is provided, and the small base station performs the steps of generating specific control information of user terminals, scrambling the specific control information by using user-specific scrambling sequences, and transmitting the specific control information to user terminals in the small cell by using an enhanced downlink control channel that is frequency-division-multiplexed with a downlink shared data channel.
Abstract:
A “macro-assisted cell” adaptable to multiple operation modes is realized. In a mobile station (UE) of the invention, a control unit (22) is configured to start communication in a small cell on the basis of MIB/SIB of the small cell when a sequence in a “discovery signal” is determined as a sequence for a “stand-alone cell.” The control unit (22) is configured to start the communication in the small cell on the basis of a control signal from a macro cell when the sequence in the “discovery signal” is determined as a sequence for a “macro-assisted cell.”
Abstract:
A system for supporting smooth mobility of a mobile terminal apparatus between a plurality of local areas that are arranged in a wide area is disclosed. The system includes a wide area base station apparatus that covers a wide area, a local area base station apparatus that covers a local area arranged in the wide area, and a mobile terminal apparatus that can communicate with the wide area base station apparatus and the local area base station apparatus, and is configured to scramble a data signal and a reference signal by a scrambling sequence that is common between a plurality of local areas in communication between the local area base station apparatus and the mobile terminal apparatus.
Abstract:
A base station apparatus capable of communicating with a user equipment terminal using a downlink shared channel is disclosed. The base station apparatus includes a radio resource allocation unit allocating radio resource blocks to the shared channel after allocating the radio resource blocks to at least one of a synchronization signal, a common control channel, a broadcast channel, a paging channel, an MBMS channel, and a random access response channel.
Abstract:
In a mobile communication method according to the present invention, a mobile station (UE) transmits uplink data to a radio base station by using an uplink radio resource assigned to the mobile station by predetermined scheduling information, in a predetermined cycle. The method includes the steps: (A) notifying, to the mobile station (UE), the predetermined cycle and information on the uplink radio resource; (B) notifying, to the mobile station (UE), the predetermined scheduling information; and (C) transmitting uplink data in the predetermined cycle by using the uplink radio resource assigned by the predetermined scheduling information, the transmission starting at a certain point determined on the basis of the received predetermined scheduling information. In the step (C), the predetermined scheduling information is discarded, when the information on the uplink radio resource and information notified by the predetermined scheduling information are inconsistent with each other.
