A user apparatus configured to perform communication with a base station in a mobile communication system, wherein a common search space and a user specific search space are multiplexed in a predetermined physical downlink control channel transmitted from the base station, the user apparatus including: a monitoring control unit configured to monitor, for each predetermined time frame, any one of the common search space and the user specific search space in the predetermined physical downlink control channel in order to obtain downlink control information.
Abstract:
In order to prevent deterioration in communication quality even when LBT applies to UL transmission, the present invention provides a user terminal that has: a transmission section that transmits a transmission acknowledgement signal for a DL (downlink) data signal transmitted from a radio base station; and a control section that controls transmission of the transmission acknowledgement signal based on an LBT (Listen Before Talk) result in uplink. When transmitting the transmission acknowledgement signal in a given UL (uplink) subframe, the control section determines a feedback timing of the transmission acknowledgement signal in accordance with the LBT result in a UL subframe prior to the given UL subframe.
Abstract:
The blind decoding method disclosed herein is a blind decoding method to allow a user terminal to blind-decode downlink control information that is transmitted from a radio base station using at least one of a legacy PDCCH and an enhanced PDCCH that is frequency-division-multiplexed with a PDSCH, and includes the steps in which the radio base station reports information for configuring a number of candidates, which information is used to configure numbers of search space candidates for the legacy PDCCH and numbers of search space candidates for the enhanced PDCCH, to the user terminal, and the user terminal blind-decodes the downlink control information based on the numbers of search space candidates for the legacy PDCCH and the numbers of search space candidates for the enhanced PDCCH that are configured based on the candidate quantity configuration information.
Abstract:
The present invention is designed to allow more reliable small cell detection while preventing the increase of power consumption in user terminals. The communication control method of the present invention includes the steps in which a macro base station notifies a user terminal of measurement gap pattern information to represent a repetition period that is the same as the transmission cycle of a detection/measurement signal in small cells and a length of time that is the same as the transmission duration of the detection/measurement signal, and the start offset of the transmission duration, and the user terminal configures measurement gaps of the repetition period and the length of time, by using a start offset that is the same as the start offset.
Abstract:
The present invention is designed to reduce the decrease of system performance when coordinated multi-point transmission is carried out to a user terminal. The central control station of the present invention provides a central control station that is connected with a plurality of radio base stations that carry out coordinated multi-point transmission to a user terminal, and this central control station has a reporting information generating section that generates, for each radio base station, information about radio resources allocated to other radio base stations that carry out coordinated multi-point transmission, and a reporting section that reports the information about the radio resources, generated in the reporting information generating section, to each radio base station.
Abstract:
The present invention is designed to prevent the decrease of capacity even when the ratio of uplink subframes and downlink subframes is changed in each component carrier in TDD carrier aggregation. With the radio communication method according to the present invention, a radio base station apparatus generates a downlink control channel signal containing downlink control information including carrier indicator field information, and transmits the downlink control channel signal to a user terminal, and the user terminal receives the downlink control channel signal and executes signal processing with respect to the downlink signal in accordance with the downlink control information. In this case, the carrier indicator field information is information which associates a carrier index and the number of subframes to schedule victim subframes.
