  • Publication number: 20160242062
    Abstract: The present invention is designed so that a small cell detection/measurement signal is introduced without making an impact on existing systems. Where a small cell (S) covered by a small base station (10) is placed within a macro cell (M) covered by a macro base station (20) and a user terminal (30) is present within the small cell, the small base station generates a detection/measurement signal for a new detection process, which is different from an existing small cell detection process using synchronization signals, and maps the detection/measurement signal to avoid the synchronization signals and transmits the detection/measurement signal to the user terminal, and the user terminal receives the detection/measurement signal from the small base station and detects the small cell.

  • Patent number: 9419771
    Abstract: The present invention is designed to detect an S-cell efficiently, in a short time, upon carrier aggregation in a HetNet. In a communication system where carrier aggregation is executed between a first carrier (CC #1) and a second carrier (CC #2), a macro base station apparatus (20A) generates a carrier detection signal that makes a mobile terminal apparatus (10) detect the second carrier (CC #2), such that carrier aggregation is executed with the first carrier (CC #1), and transmits the carrier detection signal to an RRH base station apparatus (20B) such that the carrier detection signal is transmitted from the RRH base station apparatus (20B) to the mobile terminal apparatus (10) in the second carrier (CC #2) in which the carrier detection signal can be allocated with a higher density than a reference signal of the first carrier (CC #1). The macro base station apparatus (20A) detects an S-cell based on the received quality of the carrier detection signal fed back from the mobile terminal apparatus (10).

  • Publication number: 20160234004
    Abstract: The present invention is designed so that uplink transmission is carried out adequately even when CA to apply different duplex modes between multiple cells is executed. A user terminal communicates with an FDD cell and a TDD cell by employing carrier aggregation, and has a receiving section that receives DL signals transmitted from each cell, and a feedback control section that allocates delivery acknowledgement signals in response to the DL signals received, by allocating the delivery acknowledgment signals in a predetermined UL subframe, and, regardless of the cell that is configured as the primary cell, when UL subframes are configured in both the FDD cell and the TDD cell, the feedback control section feeds back the delivery acknowledgement signals by using a UL subframe of one or both of the cells, and, when a UL subframe is configured only in the FDD cell, the feedback control section feeds back the delivery acknowledgement signals by using the UL subframe of the FDD cell.

  • Patent number: 9409392
    Abstract: A wall-shaped enclosure that forms a space which can accommodate a head chip is formed in a projecting manner at a lower end of a lower case member. Since a cylindrical thick part is formed at the lower end of the lower case member, the lower case member is unlikely to be bent, particularly around the wall-shaped enclosure and a part where the wall-shaped enclosure is disposed. The head chip that is disposed in the space of the lower case member which is unlikely to be bent is unlikely to be subjected to an external force, and the cover member absorbs torsion generated between the head chip and the lower case member so that the head chip is even more unlikely to be subjected to the external force.

    Abstract: A mobile station UE in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention is a mobile station for communicating with a radio base station using two or more carriers. The two or more carriers include a carrier in a non-discontinuous reception state and a carrier in a discontinuous reception state. The mobile station includes a first communicating unit configured to perform communications on the carrier in the non-discontinuous reception state and a second communicating unit configured to perform communications on the carrier in the discontinuous reception state. The first communicating unit treats intervals before and after an on-duration on the carrier in the discontinuous reception state as measurement gaps.
