Abstract:
A user equipment apparatus for performing user equipment-to-user equipment communication includes a synchronization signal detection unit configured to detect a user equipment-to-user equipment synchronization signal transmitted from a user equipment apparatus in another cell or another carrier; a control unit configured to set reception timing based on the user equipment-to-user equipment synchronization signal; and a reception unit configured to receive scheduling information or a discovery signal transmitted from the user equipment apparatus in the other cell or the other carrier within a time window defined based on the user equipment-to-user equipment synchronization signal.
Abstract:
The present invention is designed so that user terminal operations are carried out adequately when guaranteed transmission power is configured in dual connectivity. A user terminal communicates with a plurality of cell groups, where each cell group is comprised of one or more cells that use different frequencies, and has a receiving section that receives the guaranteed transmission power value of each cell and active/non-active information of the cells in the cell groups, and a power control section that controls the guaranteed transmission power values of the cell groups by using the number of cells in the active state and the guaranteed transmission power value of each cell.
Abstract:
The present invention is designed to reduce the delay time which a small cell takes before starting transmitting data to a user terminal. A user terminal according to the present invention has a measurement section that, when the state of connection with the small base station is a deactivated state, periodically measures channel state information, by using a channel state information reference signal that is transmitted from the small base station, and a monitoring section that, when the state of connection is the deactivated state, periodically monitors a downlink control channel that is transmitted from the small base station, wherein, when downlink control information for the user terminal is detected by the periodic monitoring of the downlink control channel, the state of connection is switched from the deactivated state to an activated state.

The present invention is designed to apply UL transmission control adequately in a radio communication system which runs LTE in an unlicensed band (LTE-U). A user terminal communicates with a radio base station by using a licensed band and an unlicensed band, and has a detection section that detects a signal transmitted from another transmission point in the unlicensed band, a control section that controls transmission of a UL signal in the unlicensed band based on a UL transmission command transmitted from the radio base station and the detection result in the detection section, and a transmission section that transmits the UL signal, and the transmission section transmits information related to the detection result to the radio base station by using the licensed band.

Techniques are disclosed for implementing LBT in coordinated communication for inter-cell interference control. One aspect of the present invention relates to a base station, including a communication control unit configured to schedule radio resources of a cell for user equipment and a frequency usage detection unit configured to perform Listen Before Talk (LBT) in a limited partial frequency band corresponding to the scheduled radio resources in a whole frequency band of the cell, wherein if it is determined that the partial frequency band is not used, the communication control unit performs downlink transmission to the user equipment.
Abstract:
Techniques are disclosed for implementing the LBT in consideration of propagation delay differences in a cell. One aspect of the present invention relates to user equipment, comprising: a transmission and reception unit configured to use a scheduled radio resource to perform transmission and reception to/from a base station via a cell; and a frequency usage detection unit configured to perform Listen Before Talk (LBT) on a frequency band in the cell at an LBT timing independent of a scheduled uplink transmission timing, wherein when the frequency usage detection unit determines that no other user equipment is communicating in the frequency band, the transmission and reception unit performs uplink transmission to the base station.
Abstract:
A mobile station which communicates with a base station using an unlicensed band includes a resource management unit configured to manage information about an uplink transmission resource allocated by the base station; a transmission detection unit configured to detect whether transmission in the unlicensed band is possible before arrival of the allocated uplink transmission resource; and a transmission unit configured to transmit an uplink signal on the allocated uplink transmission resource, when transmission in the unlicensed band is possible.
Abstract:
The present invention is designed so that, in a radio communication system in which inter-terminal communication is carried out, the impact of inter-symbol interference due to the delay of inter-terminal discovery signals is reduced. The radio communication method of the present invention is used in a radio communication system in which each user terminal transmits the inter-terminal discovery signal in a transmission duration of a predetermined period. A radio base station determines the cyclic prefix (CP) length configuration for use in the transmission duration, and transmits cyclic prefix (CP) length configuration information which represents the CP length configuration. Each user terminal transmits the inter-terminal discovery signal based on the CP length configuration information.

The present invention is designed so that adequate mutual detection is made possible in non-collision-type D2D discovery during inter-terminal direct communication. A user terminal can execute inter-terminal direct communication, and has a receiving section that receives initial allocation location information of a resource for transmitting a discovery signal for use in inter-terminal direct communication, and a control section that switches the location of the resource to transmit the discovery signal, per period, in accordance with a pre-rule.
Abstract:
The present invention is designed to adequately control small cells (small base stations) on/off in a structure where small cells and macro cells are arranged to overlap each other. A user terminal can communicate with a macro base station that forms a macro cell and a small base station that forms a small cell arranged within the macro cell, and has a measurement section that measures the received power of a detection/measurement signal that is transmitted from the small base station in a predetermined subframe, and the total received power of downlink signals in a subframe in which no detection/measurement signal is transmitted, a calculation section that calculates received quality by using the received power and the total received power, and a transmission section that transmits information related to the received quality to the macro base station, the calculation section calculates the received quality based on the proportion of the received power and the value given by adding the received power to the total received power.
