  • Patent number: 8830928
    Abstract: A mobile communication method according to the present invention includes the steps of: (A) notifying, from a first radio base station (MBS) to a second radio base station (FBS), scheduling information including information specifying a radio resource for a control channel through which a first mobile station (MUE) that is in communication in a first cell under the control of the first radio base station (MBS) transmits downlink control information or uplink control information, when the first radio base station (MBS) assigns the radio resource; and (B) assigning, at the second radio base station (FBS), a radio resource for a control channel through which a second mobile station that is in communication in a second cell under the control of the second radio base station (FBS) transmits downlink control information or uplink control information based on the scheduling information.

  • Publication number: 20120076084
    Abstract: A mobile communication method according to the present invention includes a step of: (A) transmitting, from a macro radio base station (MBS) to a femto radio base station (FBS), scheduling information notifying a radio resource assigned for transmitting a predetermined signal in a first cell under the control of the macro radio base station (MBS), a radio resource that can be used in a second cell under the control of the femto radio base station (FBS), or a radio resource that cannot be used in the second cell under the control of the femto radio base station (FBS).

  • Publication number: 20120040659
    Abstract: A mobile communication method according to the present invention includes: a step (A) of adjusting, at a second radio base station (FBS), a timing of transmitting a downlink signal in a second cell under the control of the second radio base station (FBS), based on an measurement result of a timing of receiving a downlink signal from a first cell under the control of a first radio base station (MSB).

  • Patent number: 7974354
    Abstract: An adaptation apparatus for adapting an input signal, the input signal being digital in the frequency domain and having a peak-to-average-power-ratio in the time domain. The adaptation apparatus has an evaluation unit for evaluating the input signal and for providing an evaluation signal based on an optimization criterion. The adaptation apparatus further has a summing unit for adding the evaluation signal to the input signal in the frequency domain and for providing an output signal in the frequency domain having a lower peak-to-average-power-ratio in the time domain than the signal in the time domain.

  • Patent number: 7693118
    Abstract: The subcarriers in an OFDM communication system or OFDM-based multicarrier communication system are multiplied with weighting factors, determined so that in accordance with an optimization criterion the side lobes are minimized in a determined frequency domain. In determining the weighting factors constraints can be taken into account to further boost system power output.
