Abstract:
A base station according to a first aspect is configured to transmit a radio signal to a user terminal in an own cell by using a plurality of transmission antennas. The base station comprises: a controller configured to notify the user terminal of a multi-antenna transmission mode to be applied to a transmission of the radio signal; and a transmitter configured to transmit the radio signal by using the plurality of transmission antennas by the multi-antenna transmission mode notified to the user terminal. The controller reduces a number of transmission antennas to be used for the transmission of the radio signal so as to reduce power consumption of the base station. The controller maintains the multi-antenna transmission mode notified to the user terminal without changing the multi-antenna transmission mode, even when reducing the number of transmission antennas to be used for the transmission of the radio signal.
Abstract:
A communication control method is a method for performing an offload from a cellular RAN to a wireless LAN. The communication control method includes the steps of: transmitting a list which contains identifiers of wireless LAN access points included in the wireless LAN, by a cellular base station included in the cellular RAN; receiving the list, by a user terminal which has a cellular communication unit and a wireless LAN communication unit; and performing an operation related to the offload after detecting that the user terminal approaches a wireless LAN access point on the basis of the list, by the user terminal which exists in a cell of the cellular base station.
Abstract:
A radio communication system is provided with a high-power base station, a radio terminal which is located within a macro cell formed by the high-power base station, and a low-power base station which has a lower transmission output power than the high-power base station. The low-power base station sends, to the high-power base station, control information needed for the radio communication between the radio terminal and the low-power base station; the high-power base station sends, to the radio terminal, the control information received from the low-power base station; and the radio terminal performs radio communication with the low-power base station by using the control information received from the high-power base station.
Abstract:
A mobile communication system performs multi-antenna transmission by applying a pre coder matrix for determining transmission directionality. The mobile communication system comprises a user terminal that starts feedback of predetermined precoder matrix information to a node in response to an instruction from the node controlling communication. The predetermined precoder matrix information is used to decide the precoder matrix that is applied to transmission to another user terminal different from the user terminal. The user terminal comprises: a control unit that switches whether to stop the feedback after starting the feedback in response to the instruction.
Abstract:
In a mobile communication system comprising a first user terminal and a second user terminal, D2D communication is radio communication directly performed between the first user terminal and the second user terminal in a frequency and a time assigned from a base station. In a time in which data is to be received from the first user terminal, when the second user terminal does not receive the data from the first user terminal, the second user terminal transmits failure notification indicating reception failure in the D2D communication to the base station.
Abstract:
A communication control method used in a user equipment and user equipment that performs a predetermined data transmission in which uplink user data is transmitted during a random access procedure include transmission of a first message for the predetermined data transmission while in a predetermined RRC state in which an RRC connection is suspended to a base station. After transmitting the first message, a second message is received from the base station for maintaining the user equipment in the predetermined RRC state. A communication control method and base station include reception of a first message for the predetermined data transmission at the base station from a user equipment that is in a predetermined RRC state in which an RRC connection is suspended during a random access procedure. After receiving the first message, a second message is received for maintaining the user equipment in the predetermined RRC state.
Abstract:
A sensor system may include a base, one or more wireless communication sensors attached to the base, and a wireless communication apparatus that performs wireless communication with the wireless communication sensors. The wireless communication sensors may include a sensor that detects a position of the wireless communication sensor, a wireless communication module that performs wireless communication with the wireless communication apparatus, and a controller that controls the sensor and the wireless communication module. The controller, when the position of the wireless communication sensor, detected by the sensor, satisfies a predetermined condition, may change a status of wireless communication between the wireless communication module and the wireless communication apparatus from a first state to a second state in which an electric power consumption of the wireless communication module is greater than in the first state.
Abstract:
A communication control method used in a user equipment, user equipment, and apparatus for controlling a user equipment used in a user equipment perform early data transmission in which uplink user data is transmitted during a random access procedure. The user equipment receives from a base station, a first timer value for a random access procedure without the early data transmission and a second timer value for a random access procedure with the early data transmission, selects the second timer value in response to determining that the user equipment performs the early data transmission, and starts a timer configured with the second timer value in response to transmitting the uplink data by the early data transmission.
Abstract:
A user equipment, an apparatus, and a method receive from a base station configuration information on a carrier aggregation where a Licensed-Assisted Access (LAA) secondary cell using unlicensed frequency is utilized, configure the carrier aggregation based on the configuration information, receive from the base station information indicating whether uplink data transmission via the LAA secondary cell is allowed, and transmit uplink data via the LAA secondary cell only in response to receiving the information indicating that uplink data transmission via the LAA secondary cell is allowed.
Abstract:
A base station includes a controller that performs multicast service SC-PTM transmission, and a transmitter that transmits SC-PTM configuration information related to a configuration of the SC-PTM transmission via a SC-PTM control channel, which is a logical channel different from a MCCH, and transmits multicast data via a traffic channel for the SC-PTM transmission. Each of the SC-PTM control channel and the traffic channel is mapped on a DL-SCH. The transmitter transmits a SIB related to the SC-PTM control channel via a BCCH, transmits first resource allocation information for transmitting the SC-PTM configuration information via a PDCCH, where a predetermined RNTI for the SC-PTM control channel is applied to transmission of the first resource allocation information, and transmits second resource allocation information for transmitting multicast data by the SC-PTM transmission via the PDCCH. A G-RNTI different from the predetermined RNTI is applied to transmission of the second resource allocation information.
