  • Publication number: 20120252513
    Abstract: Even when it is not possible to appropriately receive SRS, a control process is appropriately performed. A radio base station eNB according to the present invention includes a control unit 13 configured to perform a predetermined control process based on SRS periodically transmitted by a mobile station UE, an SRS reliability determination unit 11 configured to compare the reception quality of an SRS at the reception timing of the SRS with a predetermined threshold value, and an SRS transmission state determination unit 12 configured to determine whether the SRS is being transmitted by the mobile station UE based on a result of the comparison, wherein, when it is determined that the SRS is not being transmitted by the mobile station UE, the control unit 13 is configured not to perform a predetermined control process based on the SRS at the reception timing of the SRS as described above.

  • Publication number: 20120093123
    Abstract: A radio base station includes a resource assignment unit configured to determine a time direction resource, a frequency direction resource, and a code direction resource which are to be assigned as a scheduling request transmission resource for transmitting a scheduling request that requests scheduling for uplink data communication to each mobile station. The resource assignment unit is configured to determine the time direction resource and the frequency direction resource, which are to be assigned as the scheduling request transmission resource, and then determine the code direction resource to be assigned as the scheduling request transmission resource. The resource assignment unit is configured to assign, as the scheduling request transmission resource, in order from a frequency direction resource having a lower usage rate of the code direction resource in each time direction resource.

  • Publication number: 20120063412
    Abstract: A radio base station including a resource assignment unit configured to assign a time direction resource, a frequency direction resource, and a code direction resource, as a physical signal transmission resource for transmitting a predetermined physical signal, to each mobile station is disclosed. The frequency direction resource is specified by a frequency position within a frequency region when frequency bandwidths used in a plurality of physical signals transmitted by each mobile station are the same.

  • Publication number: 20120063399
    Abstract: A radio base station includes a resource assignment unit for assigning a resource candidate for transmitting a semi-persistent scheduling transmission acknowledgement signal to a first mobile station during a semi-persistent scheduling bearer setting process. The resource candidate for transmitting a semi-persistent scheduling transmission acknowledgement signal is formed by a combination of a frequency direction resource and a code direction resource by which the first mobile station transmits a transmission acknowledgement signal after a predetermined timing from a timing of receiving downlink data, to the downlink data that has been scheduled by semi-persistent scheduling and has been transmitted via a downlink data channel.

  • Publication number: 20120002616
    Abstract: A base station apparatus determines which mode of a subframe bundling mode (second mode) and a non-bundling mode (first mode) should be used by a user apparatus for communication, and reports a determination result. In the first mode, RTT period is a first period, and each of transmission and retransmission of the signal is performed every 1 TTI. In the second mode, RTT period is a second period that is longer than the first period, and each of transmission and retransmission of the signal is performed every plurality of TTIs. A radio resource to be used for retransmission is determined according to a first frequency hopping pattern in the first mode, and is determined according to a second frequency hopping pattern that is different from the first frequency hopping pattern in the second mode.
