Abstract: In a wireless communication system including a plurality of base stations each supporting at least one of two or more radio access schemes and at least one mobile station capable of performing communication by using the two or more radio access schemes, before the mobile station moves from a source base station to a target base station, the target base station notifies the mobile station, via the source base station, of a transparent container containing uplink radio access information that specifies a radio access scheme enabling at least an initial connection to be made. Thus, the mobile station identifies the radio access scheme supported by the target base station from the transparent container before moving from the source base station to the target base station.

Abstract: In a signal generation device in a wires transmission system, a calculation amount is greatly reduced compared with a convention FFT Pre-Processing method which performs oversampling, and peak power is reduced to substantially the same extent as in the convention method. A transmitter 100 includes a slope estimation unit 102 and a slope reference attenuation signal selection unit 103. The slope estimation unit 102 generates and outputs a slope estimation value indicating an inclination of a data signal waveform at a data signal point. The slope reference attenuation signal selection unit 103 estimates a data signal which may cause a peak after oversampling, based on an amplitude value of a data signal and a slope estimation value, and determines an attenuation amount for a selected data signal. The slope reference attenuation signal selection unit 103 generates information concerning a selection result and the determined attenuation amount, and outputs the information as a data attenuation coefficient.

The communication using the plurality of carriers comprises a processing means for performing the signal processing in accordance with each of the carriers with respect to the common signal sequence used by the plurality of carriers. The present invention makes it possible to cope with the communication employing a single component carrier and the wireless communication employing a plurality of the component carriers. Further, PAPR of the reference signals can be made small because there is no possibility that the identical CAZAC sequence is used among the component carriers when a plurality of the component carriers are employed.

Abstract: Provided is a technique capable of reporting resource block allocation information with no waste when an allocated resource block is reported, because in the current LTE downlink, the waste of the amount of resource allocation information increases in some cases since a restriction is imposed such that 37-bit fixed scheduling information is transmitted. A resource block group consisting of at least one or more resource blocks continuous on the frequency axis is allocated to a terminal, and the number of controlling signals for reporting allocation information indicating the allocated resource blocks is determined.

Abstract: To solve a problem that although the increase of the number of frequency blocks by allocating discontinuous subcarriers (RBs) as in OFDM enables an increase in multi-diversity effect and an improvement in throughput, the number of RB allocation patterns increases with the increase of the number of frequency blocks, resulting in an increase in the amount of information relating to the allocated RBs, the resource block allocation unit is determined when resource blocks discontinuous on the frequency axis are allocated to a terminal, and the number of bits of scheduling information indicating the allocated resource blocks by using Tree Based is set to the number of bits corresponding to the determined allocation unit.

Abstract: The problem is that, in a mobile wireless system, when more than one frequency block composed of resource blocks that are consecutive on a frequency axis is assigned to one mobile station, the multi-diversity effect due to scheduling increases by the number of assigned frequency blocks being increased, but the overhead caused by the scheduling information increases. Accordingly, there is a tradeoff between the multi-diversity effect and the scheduling overhead. However, when the aforementioned tradeoff was considered with OFDM and SC-FDMA, the same fixed number of frequency blocks would have been used for all mobile stations. Accordingly, an optimization that takes into account the tradeoff between the multi-diversity effect and scheduling overhead has not been sufficiently achieved.

Abstract: A scheduling technique for limiting a discontinuous spectrum to reduce control information to be transmitted from a base station (BS) to each of mobile stations. The method has a ranking means for ranking the mobile stations for each resource block depending on the channel status, and an allocation means for allocating the resource blocks to the mobile stations depending on the ranking of the mobile stations so that the number of resource blocks in a resource block group for one mobile station may be not more than a set number. The resource block group including at least one or more continuous resource blocks on the frequency axis.
