  • Publication number: 20180241500
    Abstract: A user terminal includes a receiver that receives a downlink shared channel and a processor that obtains a transport block size (TBS) used for the downlink shared channel based on: a TBS index value that is associated with a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) index value used for the downlink shared channel; and a number of resource blocks (RBs) that are allocated to the downlink shared channel. When the downlink shared channel is transmitted by a predetermined transmission scheme and the MCS index value is a predetermined value, the processor modifies the TBS index value associated with the predetermined value and obtains the TBS based on the modified TBS index value and the number of RBs.

  • Patent number: 9456394
    Abstract: Provided are a radio communication system, a radio base station and a communication method which enable an inter base-station handover while reducing a processing load on a core network. An eNB 100 sends a handover request which requests an inter base-station handover of a UE 50 from the eNB 100 to an eNB 200 via an inter base-station transmission path. The eNB 200 receives the handover request from the eNB 100, and completes the handover of the UE 50 from the eNB 100 to the eNB 200 by using a communication path to the UE 50 via a highway between an MME 20 and the eNB 100 and the inter base-station transmission path.
