Abstract:
A radio terminal (1) is configured in such a way that, when the radio terminal (1) receives a downlink signalling message including an information element (641) indicating that a first UL control channel (622) is to be configured in a first secondary cell (SCell) (602) that has already been added as an SCell in a carrier aggregation, where the first UL control channel (622) is to be used to transmit uplink (UL) control information for at least one SCell (602, 603) including the first SCell (602), the radio terminal (1) deactivates one or more SCells (602, 603) in an activated state among the at least one SCell (602, 603).
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a controller (3) operates to control, based on at least one condition, utilization by a first radio station (1) of a shared frequency shared by a plurality of radio systems including a radio communication system (100). The at least one condition includes a first condition regarding communication capability on the shared frequency of at least one radio terminal (2) belonging to a cell (11) operated by the first radio station (1). This embodiment therefore contributes to efficient utilization of the shared frequency (e.g., TVWS) shared by the plurality of radio systems.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for controlling a radio parameter, as well as a network operation management apparatus and a radio base station, are provided that enable optimization control taking a dead zone into consideration. A radio parameter control apparatus (10) for controlling a radio parameter of a radio base station (20) includes a measured data analysis section (101) that analyzes data measured by a plurality of radio terminals including a radio terminal in idle state to detect a dead zone in a radio cell, and a radio parameter control section (102) that controls the radio parameter of the radio base station based on information regarding the dead zone.
Abstract:
A radio network (6) and a radio terminal (4) are configured to, when the radio terminal (4) is using a first cell (10) served by a first radio station (1) as a primary cell and a second cell (20) served by a second radio station (2) as a secondary cell, change the secondary cell form the second cell (20) to a third cell (30) while keeping communication status information regarding the radio terminal (4) on the second cell (20). It is thus, for example, possible to enable a communication service in the secondary cell to be continued after the secondary cell is changed when the radio terminal which is simultaneously using a plurality of cells served by different radio stations changes the secondary cell from a cell of one radio station to a cell of another radio station.

It is thus, for example, possible to enable a communication service in the secondary cell to be continued even after the primary cell is changed when the primary cell is changed during execution of carrier aggregation (e.g., Inter-eNB CA) on a plurality of cells served by different radio stations.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a DRX control method and system in which power consumption of a mobile station can be reduced and an increase in the load of a network can be suppressed. A source base station forwards Dormancy Context, which is information for controlling the activity level of a mobile station that performs inter base station handover, to a target base station and, immediately after the mobile station completes handover, the target base station performs DRX control of the mobile station using the Dormancy Context.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to user equipment, access network node, and a method performed by them. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) for communicating via a non-terrestrial network is disclosed. The method comprises receive configuration information identifying preconfigured uplink resources for use by the UE in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) idle state; verify whether or not the configuration information is still valid; and determine whether to transmit data using the preconfigured uplink resources in accordance with the verifying.
Abstract:
A radio terminal can perform carrier aggregation using a first cell of a first radio station and a second cell of a second radio station. The first radio station performs, with the radio terminal, radio resource control for the first cell and the second cell in order to perform the carrier aggregation. Further, the first radio station transmits, to the second radio station, update information regarding an update to a configuration related to the radio resource control for the second cell. It is thus, for example, possible to prevent or reduce data transmission/reception failures which would otherwise occur while a configuration of radio parameters or the like is being changed by a radio terminal in carrier aggregation of a plurality of cells served by different radio stations.
Abstract:
A radio terminal (3) can perform carrier aggregation using a first cell (10) of a first radio station (1) and a second cell (20) of a second radio station (2). The first radio station (1) or the second radio station (2) transmits constraint information to the radio terminal (3). The constraint information contains an information element necessary to specify a reception constraint and/or transmission constraint related to the first cell (10) and/or the second cell (20) when the carrier aggregation is performed. The reception/transmission constraint is a constraint related to downlink signal reception/uplink signal transmission by the radio terminal over one or more subframe periods of the primary cell (10) and the secondary cell (20). It is thus, for example, possible to contribute to reduction in wasteful power consumption in the radio terminal in the carrier aggregation of a plurality of cells served by different radio stations.
Abstract:
A target RAN node (3) receives, from a core network (5), a message requesting a handover of a radio terminal (1) from a bearer-based network to a bearer-less network. This handover request message includes flow information related to at least one session to be established in the bearer-less network in order to transfer at least one packet flow of the radio terminal (1). The target RAN node (3) transmits, to the core network (5), a handover acknowledge response message containing a transparent container that includes a radio resource configuration information derived from the flow information and is to be forwarded to a source RAN node associated (2) through the core network (5). It is thus, for example, possible to appropriately configuring an AS layer of a target RAT in an inter-RAT handover.
