  • Patent number: 12273876
    Abstract: Provided is a terminal capable of improving utilization efficiency of an uplink resource in an unlicensed band. In a terminal (200), a transmission control unit (206) sets, in accordance with at least one of a data size and retransmission of uplink data, a first end position of a time resource which is set for the uplink data to a second end position. A transmission unit (210) transmits the uplink data on the basis of the second end position.

  • Publication number: 20250106860
    Abstract: A terminal includes a receiver, which, in operation, receives time unit information related to an amount of an uplink time resource per a time unit, and receives a number of repetitions over a plurality of the time units, wherein the time unit includes a downlink time resource for a downlink signal and the uplink time resource for a response signal. The amount of the uplink time resource is expressed as a fixed number of consecutive symbols that remains the same number over the plurality of the time units over which the response signal is repeatedly transmitted. The terminal includes a transmitter, which, in operation, repeatedly transmits the response signal over the plurality of the time units.

  • Publication number: 20250080178
    Abstract: This invention is a transmission device capable of enhancing the reception characteristics of a terminal when employing transmit diversity using two antenna ports in an ePDCCH. In a base station (100) that transmits a reference signal to a terminal (200) using two antenna ports, a setting unit (102), on the basis of the reception quality of the terminal, sets as the aforementioned two antenna ports either a first antenna port pair for which DMRS (reference signals) do not undergo mutual code multiplexing, or a second antenna port pair for which the DMRS do undergo code multiplexing. A transmitter (109) transmits the DMRS from the two antenna ports set in the setting unit (102).

  • Patent number: 12231589
    Abstract: A terminal includes circuitry and a transmitter. The circuitry, in operation, determines a first transmission power for a first uplink signal and a second transmission power for a second uplink signal by prioritizing allocation of a transmission power to the second transmission power for the second uplink signal, responsive to, in a first transmission time interval (TTI) where the first uplink signal is transmitted, the second uplink signal being transmitted in a second TTI that is shorter than the first TTI. The transmitter, in operation, transmits the first uplink signal with the determined first transmission power and transmits the second uplink signal with the determined second transmission power.

  • Publication number: 20250039025
    Abstract: In the multiple short sequence based SRS, multiple items of sequence data having a short sequence length corresponding to a partial band are used for transmitting SRS in discontinuous bands. In the multiple short sequence based SRS, a terminal specifies a frequency domain to be used for transmitting a reference signal using predetermined sequence data, applies a phase shift index associated with the specified frequency domain to the reference signal, and transmits the reference signal to which the phase shift index is applied by using the specified frequency domain.

  • Patent number: 8299664
    Abstract: A special terminal may project from an encapsulation body of a semiconductor module and may be engaged with an engaging portion of a motor case to limit a positional deviation of the semiconductor module relative to the motor case. Additionally or alternatively, a module side engaging portion may be formed in the encapsulation body and may be engaged with a case side engaging portion to position the semiconductor module relative to the motor case.

  • Patent number: 8247937
    Abstract: A V1 semiconductor module has a coil terminal, which is directly connectable to a lead wire of a coil. As a result, the number of parts required to connect electronic parts is reduced. Further, since no printed circuit board is required, the coil terminal can be shaped in any size without being limited in correspondence to the thickness of a copper film of the substrate. The coil terminal and control terminals, which are connected to the printed circuit board having a control circuit for controlling current supply to the coil, are provided on different wall surfaces of a resin part. Thus, the coil and the printed circuit board can be readily connected to the coil terminal and the control terminals, respectively, resulting in simplification of the device.
