  • Publication number: 20110064061
    Abstract: Conventionally, different HARQ processes 801 and 802 (subframes T1 and T2) transmit data packets B and D, respectively. One data packet corresponds to one process and is retransmitted as necessary one by one on a process basis, degrading the usage efficiency of frequency and time resources. To solve this problem, downlink data packets B and D, when needed to be retransmitted, are spatially multiplexed in the different HARQ processes 801 and 802. The data packets are simultaneously retransmitted to the same terminal as process 805 (subframe T3).

  • Publication number: 20100238876
    Abstract: A method for radio resource control is carried out in a radio communications system including multiple base stations. In this method, a radio resource that can be used by the base stations is divided into multiple first radio resources on the frequency axis. Then one or more of the first radio resources are allocated to a second radio resource for initially transmitting a packet and the other first radio resources are allocated to a third radio resource for retransmitting the packet.

  • Publication number: 20100208720
    Abstract: A wireless communication system includes an asynchronized base station apparatus to perform an operation that is equivalent to the synchronization with a synchronized base station apparatus having received a sync pulse. The system includes a synchronized base station that uses a received sync pulse to synchronize itself with a base station which is a different cell, an asynchronized base station located in the cell of the synchronized base station, and a terminal. The asynchronized base station includes a unit that determines a reception timing difference, at the terminal, between a transport signal transmitted by the synchronized base station and a transport signal transmitted by the asynchronized base station, and a unit that controls the transmission timing of the asynchronized base station such that the reception timing difference becomes equal to or less than a predetermined value.

  • Publication number: 20100182972
    Abstract: In a conventional OFDMA/SCFDMA communication scheme, frequency resource assignment information is exchanged between BSs via a wired interface and used for control of inter-cell interference or the like. When a BS performs assignments of frequency resources, taking the status of a neighbor BS signaled via the wired interface into account, it might be impossible to follow a change in the status of the assignments of frequency resources at the neighbor BS due to a delay occurring in the wired interface. BS selects and assigns distributed frequency resources or continuous frequency resources, depending on the position of an MS in the cell and the transmit power of the BS.
