Abstract:
A UE performs a first communication with a base station provided in a cellular communication network and performs a second communication with an access point provided in a WLAN. The UE performs a cellular/WLAN interworking to perform a switch between the first communication and the second communication. The UE performs the switch between the first communication and the second communication based on a RAN assistance parameter provided from the cellular communication network. The UE determines, after an elapse of a predetermined time from an event that all of the first communication was switched to the second communication based on a first RAN assistance parameter provided as the RAN assistance parameter, whether to perform a switch from the second communication to the first communication based on a second RAN assistance parameter newly provided as the RAN assistance parameter.
Abstract:
A base station for managing a cell includes a controller configured to perform an on/off operation to turn a downlink transmission of the cell on and off. The controller performs a process of transmitting a periodic radio signal including a cell-specific reference signal.
Abstract:
An MBMS control method comprises: a step of starting, by a network, delivery of MBMS data at a first time; a step of starting, by a user terminal, reception of the MBMS data at a second time later than the first time; and a step of requesting, by the user terminal, to the network, unicast delivery of a first MBMS data portion that is the MBMS data delivered between the first time and the second time.
Abstract:
A first user terminal according to an embodiment comprises: at least one processor and at least one memory coupled to the processor. The processor is configured to perform processes of: determining first radio resources to be used for transmitting control information, the control information indicating location of second radio resources to be used for transmitting data by direct Device-to-Device communication; and directly transmitting the same control information repeatedly to a second user terminal in each resource block included in the first control resources.
Abstract:
A cellular base station is configured to execute functions of: a plurality of packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entities corresponding to a plurality of bearers used in performing a communication with a user terminal in which the user terminal is configured to utilize radio resources of the cellular base station and a wireless local area network (WLAN) access point; and a specific entity that provides a PDCP packet with a header including a bearer identifier to generate a specific packet, the PDCP packet generated by each of the plurality of PDCP entities. The bearer identifier is for identifying a bearer to which the specific packet belongs, from the plurality of bearers. The specific entity transmits the specific packet to the user terminal via the WLAN access point.
Abstract:
D2D communication is appropriately controlled even in an environment in which a user terminal inside the coverage and a user terminal outside the coverage both exist. A method includes: a step of receiving, by UE 100-1 included in a plurality of UEs 100, from UE 100-n included in the plurality of UEs 100, information related to the UE 100-n; and a step of selecting, by the UE 100-1, a control user terminal for controlling D2D communication, based on the information related to the UE 100-n, from among the plurality of UEs 100.
Abstract:
A communication control method according to an embodiment, comprises: transmitting, by a base station, information indicating a radio resource region by broadcast, wherein the radio resource region indicates a region of radio resources which a user terminal is able to use in order to receive a direct radio signal from a proximal user terminal; allocating, by the base station, a radio resource among the radio resource region to the user terminal; and dedicatedly transmitting, by the base station, control information to the user terminal. The control information includes information indicating the allocated radio resource. The allocated radio resource is a radio resource which the user terminal is able to use in order to transmit a direct radio signal to the proximal user terminal.
Abstract:
A base station according to one embodiment is a base station managing a cell. The base station comprises a transmitter configured to be capable of transmitting, with a first transmission power, predetermined information to a user terminal connected with the cell, and a controller configured to control the base station. When an amount or a ratio of an unassigned resource exceeds a threshold value, the unassigned resource being a radio resource capable of being used for transmitting the predetermined information and being not yet assigned to a terminal, the controller performs, with a second transmission power lower than the first transmission power, redundant transmission control in which the predetermined information is redundantly transmitted by using the unassigned resource. The predetermined information is control information or user data.
Abstract:
A non-anchor radio base station (310B) comprises an interface (315B) that notifies the anchor radio base station (310A) of a delay profile between the non-anchor radio base station (310B) and the UE (10). An anchor radio base station (310A) comprises an interface (315A) that notifies a non-anchor radio base station (310B), notifying the delay profile which does not satisfy a predetermined condition, of stoppage of a process of transmitting an uplink signal before decoding through a backhaul network. The non-anchor radio base station (310B) comprises an interface (315B) that stops the process of transmitting the uplink signal before decoding when the non-anchor radio base station (310B) is notified of the stoppage of the process of transmitting the uplink signal before decoding.
Abstract:
A mobile communication system comprises a user terminal that supports D2D proximity service. The user terminal transmits a D2D synchronization signal that is a synchronization signal for D2D communication and a D2D discovery signal that is a signal for discovering a proximal terminal while associating a location of synchronization signal resources with a location of discovery signal resources. The synchronization signal resources are time-frequency resources used for transmitting the synchronization signal. The discovery signal resources are time-frequency resources used for transmitting the D2D discovery signal.
