Abstract:
A communication control method applied to a mobile communication system, the mobile communication system including a home base station that forms a specific cell, and a mobility management device that performs verification of a user terminal for access permission to the specific cell in a handover procedure of the user terminal to the specific cell, comprises a step A of updating, by the user terminal, a list of a specific cell accessible by the user terminal; and a step B of omitting the verification of the user terminal by the mobility management device in the handover procedure when an elapsed time period after the update of the list is within a predetermined time period.
Abstract:
A mobile communication method for performing predetermined communication between a base station and a user terminal by using a narrow band including 6 resource blocks comprises: transmitting, from the base station to the user terminal, narrow band allocation information allocating a predetermined number of the narrow bands to the user terminal as allocation information of the narrow band used for the predetermined communication; performing by the user terminal, the predetermined communication by using the predetermined number of narrow bands based on the narrow band allocation information; transmitting, from the base station to the user terminal, an RRC message including information specifying a bandwidth supportable by the user terminal; and changing, by the base station, a number of bits of the narrow band allocation information according to the bandwidth supportable by the user terminal. The predetermined number of narrow bands are provided within a bandwidth supportable by the user terminal.
Abstract:
A communication method, a user equipment, and a base station operate in a manner in which the user equipment receives from the base station control information indicating a plurality of frequencies for performing sidelink communication and a resource pool associated with each of the plurality of frequencies, and the user equipment selects a first frequency among the plurality of frequencies.
Abstract:
A user terminal, method used in a user terminal, and an apparatus for a user terminal include receiving from a base station measurement configuration information configuring measurement of a frequency channel in an unlicensed band, measuring signal strength of radio signals transmitted in the frequency channel, determining occupancy situation of the frequency channel based on the measured signal strength and a threshold, and transmitting to the base station a measurement report including information indicating the occupancy situation of the frequency channel.
Abstract:
A user equipment receives an MBMS service provided using SC-PTM transmission. The user equipment performs a cell reselection operation of selecting a cell to be used as a serving cell of the user equipment while the user equipment is in an RRC idle mode. In the cell reselection operation, the user equipment selects, as the serving cell, a cell having a highest ranking determined based on a radio quality and an offset from among a plurality of cells. In the cell reselection operation, when the user equipment is in an enhanced coverage, the user equipment uses an infinite offset as the offset to be applied to a cell where the MBMS service is provided by the SC-PTM transmission, in response to a predetermined condition for the SC-PTM transmission being satisfied, when the user equipment goes out of the enhanced coverage, stop using the infinite offset.
Abstract:
A communication device according to one embodiment comprise a transmitter configured to directly transmit a radio signal to another communication device. The transmitter is configured to transmit, when first location information indicating a geographical location of the communication device is acquired, the radio signal, based on a first radio resource associated with a location indicated by the first location information. The transmitter is configured to transmit, when the communication device cannot acquire the first location information, the radio signal, based on a second radio resource. The second radio resource is decided based on a method different from a method of deciding the first radio resource by using the first location information.
Abstract:
A radio terminal according to an embodiment is configured to perform direct communication with another radio terminal. The radio terminal comprises a controller configured to receive first data addressed to said another radio terminal from a base station. When the controller receives the first data from the base station, the controller is configured to also receive information indicating a first radio resource used for transferring the first data to said another radio terminal by the direct communication.
Abstract:
A base station according to one embodiment comprises: a controller configured to manage a first cell; and a transmitter configured to transmit to a radio terminal a message for a handover from the first cell to a second cell. The message includes information of a resource pool used for a proximity-based service in the second cell, and synchronization setting information for transmitting or receiving a synchronization signal in the proximity-based service in the second cell.
Abstract:
A base station according to a first aspect includes a controller configured to perform a process of receiving, from a mobility management apparatus, a paging message used for paging of a radio terminal. The paging message includes a first field for idle mode non-extended DRX and a second field for idle mode extended DRX. If information indicating a DRX cycle of the idle mode extended DRX is included in the second field, the controller is configured to determine that the idle mode extended DRX is configured to the radio terminal.
Abstract:
A base station comprises a transmitter configured to transmit, to a user terminal, information indicating at least any one of a first DRX cycle, a second DRX cycle, and a third DRX cycle. The DRX cycle indicates a cycle during which a user terminal discontinuously monitors a downlink control channel transmitted from a base station. The second DRX cycle has a cycle longer than the first DRX cycle. The third DRX cycle has a cycle longer than the second DRX cycle.
