Abstract:
In a communication environment where a plurality of operators coexist, in order to minimize interference between the operators and also improve use efficiency of radio resources, a radio base station is disclosed. The radio base station includes an allocation control section that controls allocation to make an UL carrier for uplink transmission and a DL carrier for downlink transmission orthogonal to each other in a frequency direction, and a transmission/reception section that performs transmission or reception of a signal by using either of the UL carrier and the DL carrier for a user terminal in one transmission time interval. The allocation control section controls a carrier adjacent to a carrier used by a different operator to have same transmission direction as the carrier of the different carrier.
Abstract:
Even when a same C-RNTI is allocated to multiple mobile stations in a phantom cell, a collision between the mobile stations UE to which the same C-RNTI is allocated is avoided. A radio base station PhNB#10 according to the present invention is configured to manage a cell #10 (phantom cell) which is formed by linking multiple small cells and includes an allocation unit 11 configured to allocate a same C-RNTIph to multiple mobile stations UE#1/UE#3 which are separated by at least a predetermined distance in the cell #10.
Abstract:
A mobile station UE in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention is a mobile station for communicating with a radio base station using two or more carriers. The two or more carriers include a carrier in a non-discontinuous reception state and a carrier in a discontinuous reception state. The mobile station includes a first communicating unit configured to perform communications on the carrier in the non-discontinuous reception state and a second communicating unit configured to perform communications on the carrier in the discontinuous reception state. The first communicating unit treats intervals before and after an on-duration on the carrier in the discontinuous reception state as measurement gaps.
Abstract:
A radio communication system has a user equipment, a first base station, a second base station, and a gateway device. The first base station is capable of executing radio resource control of the user equipment, whereas the second base station does not execute radio resource control of the user equipment. The first base station, based on a measurement report message, determines whether a user-plane path is to be established between the first base station and the second base station. In a case in which it is determined that a user-plane path is to be established, the first base station establishes a user-plane path between the first base station and the second base station. Also, the first base station controls the user equipment to establish a user-plane path between the user equipment and the second base station.
Abstract:
In a telecommunications network, a system to offload data traffic from base stations to small node devices includes a small node device. The small node device includes a macro-base-station-to-small-node-device (BS2D) communication section in communication with a source base station through a first link, and a small-node-device-to-user-equipment (D2UE) communication section in wireless communication with a mobile station through a fourth link. A control unit in the source base station determines a configuration of the fourth link, a macro-base-station-to-user-equipment (BS2UE) communication section is in wireless communication with the mobile station and the source base station through a second link, and a macro-base-station-to-macro-base-station (BS2BS) communication section is in communication with a target radio base station and the source base station through a third link, and a backhaul communication section is in communication with a server.
Abstract:
The present invention is designed to detect an S-cell efficiently, in a short time, upon carrier aggregation in a HetNet. In a communication system where carrier aggregation is executed between a first carrier (CC #1) and a second carrier (CC #2), a macro base station apparatus (20A) generates a carrier detection signal that makes a mobile terminal apparatus (10) detect the second carrier (CC #2), such that carrier aggregation is executed with the first carrier (CC #1), and transmits the carrier detection signal to an RRH base station apparatus (20B) such that the carrier detection signal is transmitted from the RRH base station apparatus (20B) to the mobile terminal apparatus (10) in the second carrier (CC #2) in which the carrier detection signal can be allocated with a higher density than a reference signal of the first carrier (CC #1). The macro base station apparatus (20A) detects an S-cell based on the received quality of the carrier detection signal fed back from the mobile terminal apparatus (10).
