Publication number: 20110064061Abstract: 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).Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2010Publication date: March 17, 2011Applicant: HITACHI, LTD.Inventors: Keisuke TAKEUCHI, Rintaro KATAYAMA, Tomonori YAMAMOTO, Koki UWANO

Publication number: 20100182972Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2010Publication date: July 22, 2010Applicant: HITACHI, LTD.Inventors: Rintaro KATAYAMA, Keisuke TAKEUCHI, Tomonori YAMAMOTO, Koki UWANO
