  • Patent number: 12150144
    Abstract: A terminal is disclosed that includes a processor, coupled to a transceiver, that monitors a PDCCH (Physical downlink control channel) candidate in a first search space during a random access procedure. The transceiver receives a random access response or a PDSCH (Physical downlink shared channel) for contention resolution from a base station, based on information included in the PDCCH candidate. The transceiver receives a PDSCH or transmits an uplink signal based on information included in a PDCCH candidate monitored in the first search space, until a second search space of a type other than the first search space is configured after the random access procedure is completed. In other aspects, a base station, a communication method, and an apparatus are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 12148308
    Abstract: Server apparatus, by controlling flight vehicle, causes flight vehicle to fly to a close range of a power-transmission line, and causes flight vehicle to capture images of the power-transmission line. Flight vehicle includes a positioning apparatus of GPS, and the flight of flight vehicle is controlled based on this measured position. On the other hand, each base station in communication network is provided with a positioning apparatus of GPS. The measured position of base station measured by the positioning apparatus is used to specify the error in position of flight vehicle determined by the positioning apparatus. Server apparatus restricts the flight of flight vehicle if the error in position of flight vehicle, which is determined by the positioning apparatus, that captures images of the power-transmission line is a threshold value or more.
