  • Publication number: 20130252655
    Abstract: In a system that performs mobile communication using at least two beams, by determining a size of a beam based on information that is acquired for mobile terminals attempting an access, a beam of a form having an adaptive size is formed and thus communication is performed. A beam sector including a plurality of beam segments and a beam segment that forms a beam of a minimum size within entire coverage is set, and while forming one beam per beam sector, a size of a beam is adaptively determined.

  • Publication number: 20130070698
    Abstract: First resource blocks of a radio resource each include a first number of subcarriers and a second number of subframes having the first size. In this case, second resource blocks are formed, each second resource block including fewer subcarriers than the first number and fewer subframes than the second number based on the first resource blocks. A signal is transmitted in the first resource block or second resource block, and particularly, signals of first and second channels are transmitted by sharing the first resource block.
