  • Patent number: 11973603
    Abstract: Provided is a base station that performs feedback with regard to data transmission. The base station includes a downlink feedback information (DFI) generation unit and a transmitter. On the basis of a resource allocation configuration that was configured by a terminal, the DFI generation unit determines a transmission method for feedback information that includes a response signal regarding uplink data. The transmitter transmits the feedback information on the basis of the transmission method.

  • Patent number: 11943788
    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: 20240089052
    Abstract: A base station (100, 300) is provided with a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter (109) transmits a downlink signal in a downlink transmission region, in a time unit that includes the downlink transmission region, an uplink transmission region, and a gap period that is a switching point between the downlink transmission region and the uplink transmission region. The receiver (111) receives an uplink signal in the uplink transmission region, in the time unit. Furthermore, a delay tolerant signal for which a delay is tolerated more than for the downlink signal and the uplink signal is mapped to within the gap period.

  • 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.
