Abstract: In a multimedia broadcast/multicast service, in order to control the ratio of mobile stations capable of receiving information with high quality among mobile stations existing in a cell, a modulation section modulates a first layer code string and second layer code string heaving hierarchically different error rates into a symbol including both layer code strings, a target value storage section stores a target value corresponding to the ratio of high quality mobile stations which receive both the first layer code string and second layer code string without errors, a transmit power determining section determines to increase transmit power when the ratio of high quality mobile stations calculated by a ratio calculation section is less than a target value stored in the target value storage section and a transmit power control section increases transmit power of the modulated symbol according to the determination.

Abstract: A base station apparatus and communication terminal apparatus capable of estimating interference with other cells on an uplink and realizing optimum assignment. At a base station (100), a scheduling and transmission parameter determining section (113) receives soft handover information from a higher layer and does not perform individual assignment processing for a mobile station in the process of soft handover. In this way, the mobile station can perform continuous transmission at a constant transmission rate (e.g., coding rate, modulation scheme, spreading factor, transmit power, etc.).

Abstract: A server (191) transmits image information consisting of basic data and complementary data to a router (100) through the Internet (192). The router (100) allocates the basic data to a BS (110) of a cellular system (193) and the complementary data to an AP (120) of a wireless LAN system (194). The BS (110) transmits the basic data to a MS (150) and the AP (120) transmits the complementary data to the MS (150). When the MS (150) is located in the area of the cellular system (193), the MS always maintains a communication channel with the BS (110) and when the MS enters the area of the wireless LAN system (194), the MS also opens a channel with the AP (120) while maintaining the channel with the BS (110). This allows the user to continue seamless communication.

Abstract: In order to perform appropriate reception quality control on each mobile station in a multimedia broadcast/multicast service, a layered coding section 101 encodes input data by dividing the input data into two layers and obtains a first layer code string and a second layer code string. The first layer code string is input to a CRC code addition section 102 and a CRC code for an error inspection is added thereto at every predetermined block. On the other hand, the second layer code string is input to a CRC code addition section 103 and a CRC code for an error inspection is added thereto at every predetermined block. The first layer code string and the second layer code string with the CRC codes added are input to a layered modulation section 104 and the layered modulation section 104 modulates a plurality of code strings coded by being divided into a plurality of layers in such away that error rates differ hierarchically among the plurality of code strings and a radio section 105 sends the modulated symbol.

Abstract: A reception power measurement section 107 measures reception power from received data. A transmission power information extracting section 106 extracts information of transmission power of a dedicated channel of mobile equipment included in received data. A condition setting section 108 calculates a transmission parameter of packet data and transmission power in scheduled mobile equipment using information of reception quality, reception power and transmission power of the dedicated channel, and outputs information of the calculated parameter and transmission power command information to channel coding sections 111-1 to 111-n. The channel coding sections 111-1 to 111-n code transmission data including transmission power command information and transmission parameter information to be notified to the scheduled mobile equipment. This makes it possible to perform communications based on suitable resource management in an uplink.

Abstract: A radio communication system and scheduling method where, when data are transmitted from a plurality of transmit antennas to respective different mobile station apparatuses, all the mobile station apparatuses precisely receive data addressed thereto. A scheduler (104) performs scheduling that determines a data transmit order, depending on the numbers of receive antennas of the respective mobile station apparatuses, and notifies a transmit antennas assignment signal generator (124) of which transmit antenna is assigned which mobile station apparatus's sub-stream as the scheduling result. A number of receive antennas notifying signal decoder (122) decodes the number of receive antennas notifying signals and notifies the number of the receive antennas of each mobile station apparatus to the scheduler (104). The transmit antennas assignment signal generator (124) generates the transmit antennas assignment signal indicating which transmit antenna is assigned which mobile station apparatus's sub-stream.

Abstract: A receiving apparatus and receiving method that obtain good decoding characteristics in a multipath environment or multi-user environment. A radio receiving section (110) performs predetermined radio processing on a reception signal received via an antenna (100). A channel estimation section (120) performs channel estimation for the propagation path of the received signal. An equalizer (130) generates a replica of the received signal and performs equalization, and eliminates a delayed wave component from the received signal. A channel de-interleaver (140) de-interleaves the direct wave component of the received signal. A space-time turbo decoder (150) performs space-time turbo decoding of the received signal. A data decision section (160) makes a hard decision on a soft output likelihood from the space-time turbo decoder (150), and obtains a space-time turbo decoding result. A channel interleaver (170) interleaves the space-time turbo decoding result, and outputs the result to the equalizer (130).

Abstract: In a service area of base station 101 is provided at least one relay station 102 that executes processing for non real time data repeat request from communication terminal 103 as a substitute for base station 101, thereby removing the processing for non real time data repeat from base station 101. Thus, processing loads on base station 101 are reduced and the transmission efficiency is improved over the entire system, whereby it is possible to increase the number of communication terminals that base station 101 handles.

Abstract: In a communication system that combines HDR system and IS-2000 system, when mobile station 101 receives an interruption request from IS-2000 system while performing high-speed packet communication system under HDR system, BTS 105 modifies priority of MS 101 higher than when there is no interruption request and assigns communication resources accordingly. By thus adequately operating HDR system and IS-2000 system, it is possible to offer a wireless communication system that efficiently combines the services of both systems, as well as a base station apparatus and a communication terminal for use in the system.
