Abstract:
A method for use in a mobile telecommunications network, the mobile telecommunications network including a base station providing wireless connectivity within a base station cell, a mobile node providing wireless connectivity within a local cell and configured to communicate with the base station, and a terminal configured to communicate wirelessly with the base station and configured to communicate wirelessly with the mobile node. The method includes: activating a limited base station radio connection between the terminal and the base station; and activating one of a full local radio connection and a limited local radio connection between the terminal and the mobile node.
Abstract:
A communications device transmitting data to and receiving data from a mobile communications network, includes a transmitter, a receiver, and a controller configured to control the transmitter and receiver to transmit and receive the data via a wireless access interface. The controller is configured to identify during an initialization phase, from received information, a predetermined priority for synchronizing the transmitter and receiver, the predetermined priority including at least one of a global navigation signal, a regional navigation signal and a synchronization signal received from another communications device, the global navigation signal and the regional navigation signal having a higher priority than the synchronization signal received from the other communications device, and to control the transmitter and the receiver to synchronize the transmitting and the receiving based on a selected one of the global navigation signal, the regional navigation signal, and the synchronization signal in accordance with the predetermined priority.
Abstract:
A wireless telecommunications system includes a base station and a plurality of terminal devices. A first one of the terminal device is configured to communicate with the base station via a second one of the terminal devices, wherein the second one of the terminal device is selected from among a plurality of potential second terminal devices based on a measured characteristic of beacon signaling exchanged between the first terminal device and respective ones of the potential second terminal devices, wherein the beacon signaling is exchanged between the first terminal device and respective ones of the potential second terminal devices for a predetermined period of time.
Abstract:
[Object] To enable flexible arrangement of cells with a smaller burden. [Solution] Provided is an apparatus including: an acquisition unit configured to acquire information indicating one or more second base stations located within coverage of a first base station connected to a wired backhaul; and a controller configured to control establishment of a wireless backhaul between the first base station and each of the one or more second base stations.
Abstract:
[Object] To enable a frequency band to be used with higher efficiency.[Solution] There is provided an apparatus including: an acquisition unit configured to acquire information regarding a second base station that is a second base station having a coverage area that overlaps a coverage area of a first base station capable of using a frequency band with priority, and is incapable of using the frequency band with priority; and a control unit configured to request the second base station to transmit data destined for a terminal apparatus that accesses the first base station to the terminal apparatus.
Abstract:
[Object] To allow an increase in load on the base station to be suppressed when the device-to-device communication is performed.[Solution] There is provided a terminal apparatus capable of communicating with a base station, the terminal apparatus including an acquisition unit that acquires radio resource information related to a radio resource usable for device-to-device communication not via the base station, of radio resources controllable by the base station, and a determination unit that determines a size of data to be transmitted and received in the device-to-device communication on the basis of the radio resource information.
