Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a communication method that a base station configures different CSI-RS ports with different periodicity based on UE requirement (e.g. mobility) to reduce CSI-RS overhead. And another method is to transmit partial CSI-RS ports in a cyclic shifted manner to further reduce the overhead. In addition, cyclic shifted transmission of split CSI-RS port groups are proposed to reduce the potential big difference of interference onto different CSI-RS port groups.
Abstract:
This transmission device can notify of a control value pertaining to transmission power without causing an increase in the amount of signaling. A control unit (103) controls transmission power based on a bit sequence notified from a reception device and the association between the bit sequence and a control value pertaining to transmission power; in the association, each bit sequence is respectively associated with a first control value candidate group and a second control value candidate group; when the device is not the subject of cooperative reception, the control unit (103) calculates a transmission power using a control value candidate associated with the notified bit sequence among the first control value candidate group, and when the device is the subject of cooperative reception, the control unit (103) calculates a transmission power using a control value candidate associated with the notified bit sequence among the second control value candidate group.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a transmission apparatus which enables high transmission-rate communication by mapping DMRSs in a way adapted to the reception environment of each terminal. The transmission apparatus includes: reference signal configuration section (101) that configures a DMRS mapping pattern for each terminal and outputs a DMRS and information indicating the DMRS mapping pattern; and transmission section (106) that transmits a transmission signal including the information indicating the DMRS mapping pattern configured by reference signal configuration section (101) and the DMRS mapped according to the DMRS mapping pattern to the terminal.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a communication method of mapping CSI-RS ports to antenna units arranged in an antenna array system, a base station, and a user equipment, the communication method comprises steps of: selecting a group of antenna units to map to the CSI-RS ports in a first CSI-RS transmission period or a first frequency resource region; and selecting another group of antenna units to map to the CSI-RS ports in a second CSI-RS transmission period or a second frequency resource region. By the method, base station, and user equipment according to the present disclosure, each antenna unit would get a relatively fair opportunity for transmitting the CSI-RS signals or get a fairly good channel estimation performance in UE side.

Abstract:
When downlink data allocation is indicated in an ePDCCH, this terminal device can determine PUCCH resources to be used in notification of response signals indicating results of error detection of downlink data without imposing scheduling restrictions on future DL subframes. In this device, an extraction unit (204) receives downlink data on multiple unit bands. A CRC unit (211) detects errors in the downlink data. A response signal generation unit (212) generates a response signal by using the results of error detection of the downlink data obtained by the CRC unit (211). The control unit (208) arranges the response signal in the PUCCH resources corresponding to the current DL subframe.
Abstract:
The present invention adopts a configuration such that when cooperative reception by a plurality of base stations is not applied, a reference signal sequence determined from a selection baseline value corresponding to the number of a sequence group allocated to a cell belonging to the device in question is selected from among a plurality of selection baseline values as a reference signal sequence for non-cooperative reception, whereas when cooperative reception by a plurality of base stations is applied, a reference signal sequence determined from one or more intermediate selection baseline values set between two adjacent selection baseline values corresponding to the number of a sequence group allocated individually to a terminal device is selected among the plurality of selection baseline values as a reference signal sequence for cooperative reception differing from the reference signal sequence for non-cooperative reception.
Abstract:
A communication apparatus includes a circuitry and a transmitter. In operation, the circuitry generates a Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) and generates downlink control information indicating a mapping pattern of the DMRS from a plurality of mapping patterns, and the transmitter transmits the DMRS and the downlink control information. The plurality of mapping patterns include a first mapping pattern and a second mapping pattern. Resource elements used for the DMRS of the second mapping pattern are same as a part of resource elements used for the DMRS of the first mapping pattern. A number of the resource elements used for the DMRS of the first mapping pattern is larger than a number of the resource elements used for the DMRS of the second mapping pattern.
