  • Patent number: 11818789
    Abstract: A communication equipment for which an extended DRX is available negotiates with a management apparatus included in a network to acquire a configuration parameter of the extended DRX. The communication equipment checks whether the base station is for which the extended DRX is available based on notification information received from the base station. The communication equipment notifies the external equipment of an operation state indicating whether the communication equipment is performing an extended DRX operation based on whether a configuration parameter of the extended DRX is acquired and whether the base station is for which the extended DRX is available.

  • Patent number: 9312931
    Abstract: In a case where, although a radio base station (eNB 1-1) has established an SRS transmission frequency band, a serving radio terminal (UE 2-1) has transmitted, to the radio base station (eNB 1-1), an SRS by use of only a frequency band that is a part of the SRS transmission frequency band, the radio base station (eNB 1-1) allocates a downstream resource block the frequency band of which is included in the SRS transmission frequency band and further the frequency band of which is identical with the frequency band of the SRS received at the latest; then establishes, for the downstream resource block, a transmission weight based on the SRS received at the latest; and then uses the downstream resource block to transmit a radio signal.

  • Patent number: 9301194
    Abstract: An eNB1-1 transmits an RRC Connection Reconfiguration message to UE2-1 to UE2-3, in which SRS parameters and an application timing parameter are set, the SRS parameters differ for each of the UE2-1 to the UE2-3 and the application timing parameter is common in the UE2-1 to the UE2-3. The UE2-1 to the UE2-3 receive the RRC Connection Reconfiguration message and recognize the SRS parameters and the application timing parameter set in the message. Furthermore, when an application timing of the SRS parameter arrives, the UE2-1 to the UE2-3 apply the SRS parameter to the SRS and transmit the SRS.

  • Patent number: 9198165
    Abstract: A wireless base station (eNB1-1) uses in a differentiated manner, depending on the expected data amount of downlink transmission to the serving wireless terminal UE, the transmission of RRC Connection Reconfiguration messages in which SRS specific transmission request information is set, and the transmission of RRC Connection Reconfiguration messages in which SRS hopping transmission request information is set.

  • Patent number: 9155072
    Abstract: The present invention provides a wireless base station (eNB1-1) that sets a first SRS transmission frequency band as a transmission frequency band for SRS at a first SSF timing and sets the first SRS transmission frequency band as the transmission frequency band for SRS at a second SSF timing, within the time for one frame. In this way, all frequency bands (allocatable frequency bands) for usable downstream resource blocks in wireless communications between the wireless base station (eNB1-1) and a serving wireless terminal (UE2-1) are covered by the first SRS transmission frequency band and the second SRS transmission frequency band.

  • Patent number: 9144073
    Abstract: Disclosed is a wireless base station (eNB1-1) that sets to each serving wireless terminal (UE2) different frequency bandwidths (SRS transmission frequency bandwidths) that are used when said serving wireless terminals (UE2) send SRS at a predetermined special sub-frame timing. In addition the wireless base station (eNB1-1) sends the set SRS transmission frequency bandwidth information to the serving wireless terminals (UE2).

  • Patent number: 9025554
    Abstract: A transmission path state estimation unit estimates a state of a transmission path to a wireless terminal based on a DRS (Demodulation Reference Signal) included in uplink user data received from the wireless terminal when a re-sending request is received after transmission of an SRS is stopped. A transmission unit forms directivity of a plurality of antennas based on the estimated state of the transmission path and transmits downlink user data.

  • Patent number: 8995408
    Abstract: A resource determination unit determines at least a part of an uplink part in a switch subframe as a second resource for a wireless terminal to transmit an SRS and determines at least a part within any uplink subframe as a third resource for the wireless terminal to transmit uplink user data including a DRS for a prescribed period. A transmission path state estimation unit estimates a state of a transmission path to the wireless terminal based on the DRS included in the uplink user data after the third resource is determined. A resource notification unit forms antenna directivity based on the estimated state of the transmission path and transmits a control message for notifying the wireless terminal of the determined second resource.

  • Patent number: 7624971
    Abstract: A device includes a housing having a hollow center and a case having a hollow fiber membrane. The case is at least partially located inside the hollow center of the housing. A first gas flow flows to the hollow center through an introducing pipe and exits the housing via a discharging pipe. A second gas flow flows through the hollow fiber membrane in the case. The first gas flow enters the case through an inflow opening in the case from a gap between a wall of the housing and the case and exits the case through a discharging opening in the case to the gap between the wall of the housing and the case. The introducing pipe is located adjacent to a dividing wall. The device provides a humidifying property by transferring moisture from the first gas flow to the second gas flow or vice versa.
