Abstract:
In the base station (100), a search space setting unit (103) sets a search space on the basis of a search space setting rule in accordance with R-PDCCH range of a setting target slot, and an allocating unit (108) places DCI in one of a plurality of candidates of to-be-decoded unit range included in the set search space. The search space setting rules are associated with respective numbers of candidates of to-be-decoded unit range corresponding to the respective ones of a plurality of numbers of connections for R-CCE, and a first search space setting rule of a slot 0 and a second search space setting rule of a slot 1 are different from each other in terms of the patterns related to the numbers of candidates of to-be-decoded unit range corresponding to the plurality of numbers of connections for R-CCE.
Abstract:
A base station is disclosed, which is capable of appropriately configuring the timings of data assignment, data transmission and reception, and feedback for a case where the DL and UL sTTI lengths are different from each other. In this base station (100), a transmission section (106) transmits a downlink signal using a first short transmission time interval (sTTI) shortened in length than a TTI and used for downlink; and a reception section (107) receives an uplink signal using a second sTTI shortened in length than the TTI and used for uplink. When the first sTTI is shorter in length than the second sTTI, the reception section (107) receives the uplink signal in the second sTTI positioned after a predetermined interval from the transmission timing of the downlink signal, the predetermined interval being configured based on the length of the first sTTI.
Abstract:
A terminal includes circuitry and a transmitter. The circuitry, in operation, determines a first transmission power for a first uplink signal and a second transmission power for a second uplink signal by prioritizing allocation of a transmission power to the second transmission power for the second uplink signal, responsive to, in a first transmission time interval (TTI) where the first uplink signal is transmitted, the second uplink signal being transmitted in a second TTI that is shorter than the first TTI. The transmitter, in operation, transmits the first uplink signal with the determined first transmission power and transmits the second uplink signal with the determined second transmission power.
Abstract:
In a base station, a signal allocating unit allocates downlink control signals (DCI) to a control channel region (CORESET) constituted by a plurality of control channel elements (CCEs), and a transmitting unit transmits the downlink control signals. In this case, the number of resource element groups (REGs) that constitute the CCE is a power of 2, and a bundling size indicating the number of REGs included in the REGs that constitute the CCE and arranged in adjacent resource blocks is a power of 2.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an improved transmission protocol for uplink data packet transmission in a communication system. A receiver of a user equipment receives a Fast Retransmission Indicator, referred to as FRI. The FRI indicates whether or not a base station requests a retransmission of a previously transmitted data packet. A transmitter of the user equipment retransmits the data packet using the same redundancy version as already used for the previous transmission of the data packet.
Abstract:
In a base station, a DCI generation unit selects one pattern (mode) for use when data is allocated from among a plurality of patterns (modes) of a resource area where data (PDSCH) is allocated, and a transmission unit provides notification about setting information regarding the plurality of patterns (modes) by signaling of a higher layer and provides notification about the one pattern (mode) selected from the plurality of patterns by a downlink control signal (DCI).
Abstract:
A DCI receiving unit receives downlink control information (DCI) indicative of allocation of an uplink (UL) signal of a first TTI (long TTI) or an uplink signal of a second TTI (sTTI) having a shorter TTI length than the first TTI; a transmission power determination unit determines transmission power of the uplink signal of the first TTI and transmission power of the uplink signal of the second TTI; and a transmitting unit transmits the uplink signal of the first TTI and the uplink signal of the second TTI by using the determined transmission power on the basis of the downlink control information. The transmission power determination unit reserves desired transmission power for the uplink signal of the second TTI in the first TTI in a case where decoding of the downlink control information indicative of allocation of the uplink signal of the second TTI to be transmitted within the first TTI (e.g., a subframe) is completed before start of transmission of the uplink signal of the first TTI.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to receiving and transmitting data in a frame with subframes of a wireless communication system, each subframe being either an uplink subframe accommodating uplink signal, a downlink subframe accommodating downlink signal or a special subframe including a downlink signal portion as well as an uplink signal portion. A control signal includes a special subframe configuration specifying the length of the uplink and/or downlink portion of the special subframe. The mapping and demapping of user data and/or control data including feedback information in a transmission time interval, TTI, onto or from one subframe is then performed, wherein the length of a second TTI for mapping onto the uplink portion of a special subframe is shorter than a first TTI for mapping onto an uplink subframe, or a first number of TTIs mapped onto the uplink subframe is larger than a second number of TTIs for mapping onto the uplink portion of a special subframe. The data are received or transmitted accordingly.
Abstract:
In a base station, control circuitry determines, based on an offset for defining a frequency position of a narrowband allocated to an MPDCCH and a resource block group size of a system band, allocations of a first EPDCCH set and a second EPDCCH set that constitute the MPDCCH. The MPDCCH is a PDCCH for MTC. The second EPDCCH set has a different number of PRBs from the first EPDCCH set. A transmitter transmits a control signal according to the allocations of the first EPDCCH set and the second EPDCCH set. Further, the control circuitry controls a number of RBGs in which both the first EPDCCH set and the second EPDCCH set are allocated to be zeto or one.
Abstract:
A base station capable of appropriately transmitting a reference signal in an unlicensed band and a reception quality report measured using said reference signal. A control unit (102) of a base station (100) changes: the reference signal transmission timing which was set before carrier sensing on the basis of a time resource set according to carrier sensing results; and/or the report timing of the quality information measured in a terminal 200 using the reference signal. A transmission unit (108) and a receiving unit (109) communicate the reference signal or quality information on the basis of the changed timing.
