Abstract:
The present invention is designed to reduce the load of inter-frequency measurements in user terminals in a radio communication system in which a plurality of CCs are used in each small cell within a macro cell. The inter-frequency measurement method of the present invention includes the steps of, from a radio base station forming a macro cell to a user terminal, transmitting the transmission timing information of a detection signal in a small cell, and the a timing shift value for detection signals of the plurality of CCs that transmitted with shifted timings in the small cell, and, in the user terminal, measuring the plurality of CCs in a measurement gap based on the transmission timing information and the timing shift value.
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:
A radio communication system includes a first base station that is identified by a first cell identity, a second base station that is identified by a second cell identity, and a user device that can perform radio communication with each of the base stations. The user device detects a first transmission timing based on a first synchronization signal from the first base station and establishes synchronization with the first base station. The first base station notifies the user device of synchronization state information related to a synchronization state with the second base station and of frequency information related to an identification signal frequency that is used by the second base station to transmit an identification signal. The user device, based on the synchronization state information, performs identifying processing, on the identification signal frequency indicated by the frequency information, to identify the second cell identity indicated by the identification signal.
Abstract:
In a mobile communication method according to the present invention, a mobile station (UE) transmits uplink data to a radio base station by using an uplink radio resource assigned to the mobile station by predetermined scheduling information, in a predetermined cycle. The method includes the steps: (A) notifying, to the mobile station (UE), the predetermined cycle and information on the uplink radio resource; (B) notifying, to the mobile station (UE), the predetermined scheduling information; and (C) transmitting uplink data in the predetermined cycle by using the uplink radio resource assigned by the predetermined scheduling information, the transmission starting at a certain point determined on the basis of the received predetermined scheduling information. In the step (C), the predetermined scheduling information is discarded, when the information on the uplink radio resource and information notified by the predetermined scheduling information are inconsistent with each other.
Abstract:
A user apparatus transmits an uplink control signal to a base station apparatus using a single carrier scheme. The user apparatus includes: a unit configured to prepare acknowledgement information indicating positive acknowledgement or negative acknowledgement for a downlink data signal based on a result of demodulation of the downlink data signal; a unit configured to prepare channel state information indicating reception quality of a downlink reference signal; a unit configured to channel-code multiplexed control information in which the acknowledgement information and the channel state information are multiplexed to prepare the uplink control signal; and a unit configured to transmit the uplink control signal using dedicated resources different from resources for an uplink data signal.

A system and method to prevent collision between mobile stations to which the same C-RNTI is allocated in a simple implementation while avoiding a problem of C-RNTI depletion in a phantom cell is disclosed. A radio base station includes an allocation unit configured to allocate multiple C-RNTIs to each of mobile stations, and the allocation unit performs adjustment such that collision of search spaces to which PDCCH resources are allocated does not occur among the multiple mobile stations.
Abstract:
A radio communication system includes a user device, a first base station, a second base station, a third base station, a gateway device, and a switching center. A user-plane path is established between the user device and the gateway device via the third base station. When the user device is handed over from the first base station to the second base station, the first base station adds an identifier of the third base station to a handover request message and transmits the handover request message to the second base station. The second base station transmits, to the third base station, a base station switch notification message that indicates that a radio connection destination for the user device has been switched to the second base station.

A C-RNTIph in a phantom cell is allocated to a mobile station UE after the mobile station UE is identified. A mobile communication method according to the present invention includes the steps of: when a cell #10 formed by linking multiple small cells is established in a manner as to at least partially overlap a coverage area of a cell #1 under control of a radio base station eNB#1, notifying a mobile station UE#1 in communication in the cell #1 of a C-RNTIph in the cell #10 by the radio base station eNB#1 by sending “RRC connection reconfiguration”; and setting, by the mobile station UE#1, the C-RNTIph in the cell #10 in addition to a C-RNTImacro in the cell #1.

Abstract:
A first base station forms a first cell and communicates by radio with a user apparatus in a first frequency band. A second base station forms a second cell and communicates by radio with the user apparatus in a second frequency band different from the first frequency band. A gateway apparatus serves as a connection point with an external network. Logical paths used for the user apparatus are established respectively through the first base station and the second base station. A communication control section controls the logical paths and radio communication. The user apparatus sends and receives a user signal to and from the external network by using both a first logical path and a second logical path at the same time.
