Abstract:
The present invention is designed to establish synchronization between transmission points when downlink signals are transmitted from a plurality of transmission points to a user terminal. A radio communication system has a first radio base station that forms a first cell, a second radio base station that forms a second cell, which is placed on the area of the first cell in an overlapping manner, and a user terminal that is capable of carrying out radio communication with the first radio base station and the second radio base station, and the second radio base station has a receiving section that receives synchronization correction information, which is for establishing synchronization with a synchronization target, from the user terminal, and a synchronization correction section that corrects synchronization based on the synchronization correction information.
Abstract:
The present invention is designed to carry out uplink transmission adequately even when CA is executed by applying different duplex modes between multiple cells. A user terminal communicates with an FDD cell and a TDD cell that employ carrier aggregation, and has a receiving section that receives DL signals transmitted from each cell, and a feedback control section that allocates and feeds back delivery acknowledgement signals in response to the DL signals in a predetermined UL subframe, and, regardless of which cell is configured as a primary cell, the feedback control section, when transmitting only a delivery acknowledgement signal in response to the DL signal of one cell, transmits the delivery acknowledgement signal from the one cell by using a PUCCH resource that is determined from a downlink control channel resource of the DL signal, and, when transmitting delivery acknowledgement signals in response to the DL signals of both cells, transmits the delivery acknowledgement signals by using a PUCCH resource of one or both of the cells.
Abstract:
The present invention is designed to enable appropriate transmission and reception in user terminals even when CA is executed by applying different duplex modes between multiple cells. A user terminal communicates with an FDD cell and a TDD cell by using carrier aggregation, and has a transmitting/receiving section that receives DL signals transmitted from each cell and transmits UL signals to each cell, and a report control section that controls reporting of capability information regarding simultaneous transmission and reception of the DL signals and UL signals in the transmitting/receiving section. The report control section controls reporting of the capability information regarding simultaneous transmission and reception of the transmitting/receiving section with respect to every combination of a frequency band to use in the FDD cell and a frequency band to use in the TDD cell.
Abstract:
A radio communication system includes at least one user equipment, a first base station, a second base station, a first gateway, a second gateway, and a switching station. The switching station decides whether or not a gateway through which communication executed by the user equipment should be routed is the second gateway. In a case in which it is decided that the gateway through which communication executed by the user equipment should be routed is the second gateway, the switching station executes control for establishing a first user path for uplink and a second user path that is a radio path. The second base station executes control for establishing a first user path for downlink.
Abstract:
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:
The present invention is designed to reduce the delay time which a small cell takes before starting transmitting data to a user terminal. A user terminal according to the present invention has a measurement section that, when the state of connection with the small base station is a deactivated state, periodically measures channel state information, by using a channel state information reference signal that is transmitted from the small base station, and a monitoring section that, when the state of connection is the deactivated state, periodically monitors a downlink control channel that is transmitted from the small base station, wherein, when downlink control information for the user terminal is detected by the periodic monitoring of the downlink control channel, the state of connection is switched from the deactivated state to an activated state.

The center small-node device includes a buffer section, a backhaul communication section configured to receive the user-plane traffic data from a server over a backhaul link, and is configured to manage D2UE connections between the plurality of small-node devices and the mobile station, buffer data to be transmitted in downlink and uplink for the plurality of small-node devices, and conduct a link adaptation for the D2UE connections.
Abstract:
Even when a same C-RNTI is allocated to multiple mobile stations in a phantom cell, a collision between the mobile stations UE to which the same C-RNTI is allocated is avoided. A radio base station PhNB#10 according to the present invention is configured to manage a cell #10 (phantom cell) which is formed by linking multiple small cells and includes an allocation unit 11 configured to allocate a same C-RNTIph to multiple mobile stations UE#1/UE#3 which are separated by at least a predetermined distance in the cell #10.

The present invention is designed to allow adequate communication even when a plurality of cells employ downlink transmission power control. A user terminal communicates with a radio base station that executes downlink transmission power control, and includes a receiving section that receives a first reference signal which is transmitted with fixed transmission power, and a second reference signal to which the downlink transmission power control is applied, a measurement section that measures the received power of the first reference signal and the second reference signal, and a transmission section that feeds back information related to the received power of the first reference signal and the second reference signal as a measurement report.
Abstract:
A “macro-assisted cell” adaptable to multiple operation modes is realized. In a mobile station (UE) of the invention, a control unit (22) is configured to start communication in a small cell on the basis of MIB/SIB of the small cell when a sequence in a “discovery signal” is determined as a sequence for a “stand-alone cell.” The control unit (22) is configured to start the communication in the small cell on the basis of a control signal from a macro cell when the sequence in the “discovery signal” is determined as a sequence for a “macro-assisted cell.”
