  • Patent number: 10009163
    Abstract: A base station is capable of efficiently notifying a terminal of control information. The base station communicates with the terminal using a sub-frame including a plurality of resource block pairs. The base station sets a second control channel region in the terminal through RRC signaling that is higher-layer control information, the second control channel region being a region set differently from a first control channel region in which a first control channel is to be arranged. The base station transmits control information for the terminal by mapping the control information to a second control channel that is to be arranged in the second control channel region. The first control channel region is set in the sub-frame to be specific to the base station, and the second control channel region is set in the sub-frame to be specific to the terminal in units of the resource block pairs.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) receiving, from a base station (BS), a higher layer signal including first information used for configuring more than one sets of one or more downlink component carriers (DCCs). The UE receives, using a physical downlinkn k control channel (PDCCH) in a UE-specific search space in a first subframe, from the BS, downlink control information (DCI) including second information indicating a trigger for a transmission of channel state information (CSI), the transmission of the CSI being triggered for one set of the more than one sets of one or more DCCs, the DCI being used for scheduling of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in one uplink component carrier. The UE transmits, using the PUSCH in a second subframe, to the BS, the CSI for the one set of the more than one sets of one or more DCCs in a case that the DCI including the second information indicating the trigger for the transmission of the CSI is received in the user equipment search space.

  • Patent number: 9872281
    Abstract: In a mobile station that performs communication with a base station device via a plurality of cells, the plurality of cells are grouped into a first group constituted by cells having an uplink transmission timing that is the same as that of one primary cell and a second group constituted by one or more cells having an uplink transmission timing that is different from that of the primary cell. The uplink transmission timings are each managed using a corresponding transmission timing timer for each of the groups. In a case where a transmission timing timer for the first group has expired, the mobile station stops all uplink transmissions in the plurality of cells. In a case where a transmission timing timer for the second group has expired, the mobile station stops uplink transmissions in the cells constituting the second group for which the transmission timing timer has expired.
