  • Patent number: 8462896
    Abstract: A reception unit receives data from communication apparatuses. A transmission unit transmits data to the communication apparatuses. A control unit determines, in an adaptive way, which modulation and coding schemes to use to transmit and receive data. At a first stage, a modulation and coding scheme with a low transmission rate or a modulation and coding scheme that minimizes power requirements is selected from among a plurality of candidates therefor. At a second stage, the modulation and coding scheme of at least one of the communication apparatuses is changed to another scheme having a higher transmission rate, when it is impossible to allocate sufficient resources for the modulation and coding schemes selected at the first stage.

  • Patent number: 8423031
    Abstract: In a communication system a base station maps paging information the destinations of which are a plurality of mobile stations to a specific frame of frames and transmits the specific frame to a relay station. The relay station for relaying communication between the base station and the plurality of mobile stations receives the specific frame, maps the paging information the destination of which are the plurality of mobile stations and which is mapped to the specific frame, to the remaining frames of the frames on the basis of a determined rule, and transmits the remaining frames to the plurality of mobile stations. When the plurality of mobile stations are under the control of the relay station, the plurality of mobile stations receive the remaining frames and acquire the paging information on the basis of the determined rule.
