  • Patent number: 10559923
    Abstract: An electrical connection device includes a first connector (C1) having a first housing (10), a second connector (C2) having a second housing (20) for receiving the insertion of the first housing (10), and a connection detecting tool (30). The first housing (10) includes a housing body (12), a lock (14) having a tool restraining portion (14d) and a displacement restricting portion (16) for blocking an insertion allowing displacement of the lock (14). The connection detecting tool (30) is held at an operating position to resiliently deform the displacement restricting portion (16) to allow the insertion allowing displacement. The tool restraining portion (14d) restrains the connection detecting tool (30) at the operating position so as not to be separable while allowing the separation of the connection detecting tool (30) from the operating position as the lock (14) resiliently returns to a lock position.

  • Patent number: 10560889
    Abstract: A user terminal that communicates with a plurality of cell groups (CG), each group being formed with one or more cells to use different frequency bands, and a control section that selects at least one cell, from the cells where uplink control signals can be allocated, which are configured in each CG, and controls the cell to transmit the uplink control signals. When information to indicate cross-carrier scheduling (CCS) is included in a downlink control signal, the control section decides whether or not the cell having received the downlink control signal and the cell that is designated by the information to indicate CCS belong to the same CG, and selects the cell based on this decision. Thus, the decrease of overall system performance can be reduced even when CCS and uplink control signal transmission in secondary cells are employed at the same time.

  • Publication number: 20200028655
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is disclosed including a receiver that receives, from a base station (BS), Zero Power (ZP) Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) resource configuration information and a ZP CSI-RS. The ZP CSI-RS is transmitted as a periodic ZP CSI-RS, a semi-persistent ZP CSI-RS, or an aperiodic ZP CSI-RS. When the ZP-CSI-RS is transmitted as the periodic ZP CSI-RS or the semi-persistent ZP CSI-RS, the ZP CSI-RS resource configuration information designates periodicity and a timing offset for the periodic ZP CSI RS or the semi-persistent ZP-CSI-RS. The receiver receives the ZP CSI-RS based on a ZP CSI RS resource specified using the periodicity and the timing offset. When the ZP CSI-RS is transmitted as the aperiodic ZP CSI-RS, the receiver receives DCI that triggers the aperiodic ZP CSI-RS. The receiver receives the ZP CSI-RS based on a ZP CSI-RS resource specified using the DCI.
