  • Patent number: 10091779
    Abstract: To solve a problem that although the increase of the number of frequency blocks by allocating discontinuous subcarriers (RBs) as in OFDM enables an increase in multi-diversity effect and an improvement in throughput, the number of RB allocation patterns increases with the increase of the number of frequency blocks, resulting in an increase in the amount of information relating to the allocated RBs, the resource block allocation unit is determined when resource blocks discontinuous on the frequency axis are allocated to a terminal, and the number of bits of scheduling information indicating the allocated resource blocks by using Tree Based is set to the number of bits corresponding to the determined allocation unit.

  • Patent number: 9913182
    Abstract: The base station notifies each mobile station of reporting conditions for causing the mobile station to transmit a measurement report containing measurement results of the radio quality. The reporting conditions include a first reporting condition and a second reporting condition in which the offset value added to the measurement result of the radio quality is greater than that of the first reporting condition and in which the guard time, that is a time from when the reporting condition is satisfied until the measurement report is transmitted, is shorter than that of the first reporting condition. The base station detects a mobile station that has transmitted a measurement report as a result of satisfaction of the second reporting condition as a handover required of mobile station whose radio quality becomes lower than a predetermined value within a predetermined period and performs a handover process of the mobile station.

  • Publication number: 20170289996
    Abstract: Provided is a technique capable of reporting resource block allocation information with no waste when an allocated resource block is reported, because in the current LTE downlink, the waste of the amount of resource allocation information increases in some cases since a restriction is imposed such that 37-bit fixed scheduling information is transmitted. A resource block group consisting of at least one or more resource blocks continuous on the frequency axis is allocated to a terminal, and the number of controlling signals for reporting allocation information indicating the allocated resource blocks is determined.

  • Patent number: 9735938
    Abstract: In a radio communication system, transmission of CAZAC sequences as the pilot signal sequences by using code division multiplexing as at least one of user multiplexing schemes, is done by dividing a system band as a frequency band usable in the system into frequency blocks B1 and B2 having bandwidths W1 and W2, generating the pilot signals of the frequency blocks B1 and B2 with a single carrier, using the pilot signal sequences having sequence lengths L1 and L2 corresponding to frequency blocks B1 and B2 respectively; and, transmitting the generated pilot signals as the pilot signals corresponding individual users, with multicarriers using an arbitrary number of frequency blocks among the plural frequency blocks.
