Abstract: A vehicle interior lighting device includes a light source which is installed at an end of an instrument panel of a vehicle. Light emitted from the light source propagates from the instrument panel toward a door panel, and is projected on a surface of a door trim of the door panel. A decorative pattern element is installed on a light emitting side of the light source. As light from the light source passes through the decorative pattern element, the light can create a pattern on a surface of the door trim. Because the light source is installed on the instrument panel spaced from the door trim rather than on the door trim itself, light can be projected on a large area of the door trim. Furthermore, an impressive feature of a decorative pattern which changes in accordance with a door opening angle can be achieved.

Abstract: An eNB1-1 employs frequency hopping that assigns a radio resource to a UE2-1 in response to switching of a frequency of an SRS from the UE2-1, and determines an MCS in a first radio resource block when a first downlink radio resource block is assigned to the UE2-1, on the basis of SINR acquired for a second downlink radio resource block having a frequency bandwidth equal to a frequency bandwidth of the first downlink radio resource and being assigned to the UE2-1 in the past.

Abstract: In a case where, although a radio base station (eNB 1-1) has established an SRS transmission frequency band, a serving radio terminal (UE 2-1) has transmitted, to the radio base station (eNB 1-1), an SRS by use of only a frequency band that is a part of the SRS transmission frequency band, the radio base station (eNB 1-1) allocates a downstream resource block the frequency band of which is included in the SRS transmission frequency band and further the frequency band of which is identical with the frequency band of the SRS received at the latest; then establishes, for the downstream resource block, a transmission weight based on the SRS received at the latest; and then uses the downstream resource block to transmit a radio signal.

Abstract: An eNB1-1 transmits an RRC Connection Reconfiguration message to UE2-1 to UE2-3, in which SRS parameters and an application timing parameter are set, the SRS parameters differ for each of the UE2-1 to the UE2-3 and the application timing parameter is common in the UE2-1 to the UE2-3. The UE2-1 to the UE2-3 receive the RRC Connection Reconfiguration message and recognize the SRS parameters and the application timing parameter set in the message. Furthermore, when an application timing of the SRS parameter arrives, the UE2-1 to the UE2-3 apply the SRS parameter to the SRS and transmit the SRS.

Abstract: If the frequency band of an SRS from a serving radio terminal (UE 2-1) is identical with the frequency band of an SRS from a serving radio terminal (UE 2-2), a radio base station (eNB 1-1) transmits, to one of the serving radio terminals (UE 2-1, UE 2-2), an RRC connection reconfiguration message in which transmission halt request information has been set.

Abstract: A wireless base station (eNB1-1) uses in a differentiated manner, depending on the expected data amount of downlink transmission to the serving wireless terminal UE, the transmission of RRC Connection Reconfiguration messages in which SRS specific transmission request information is set, and the transmission of RRC Connection Reconfiguration messages in which SRS hopping transmission request information is set.

Abstract: The present invention provides a wireless base station (eNB1-1) that sets a first SRS transmission frequency band as a transmission frequency band for SRS at a first SSF timing and sets the first SRS transmission frequency band as the transmission frequency band for SRS at a second SSF timing, within the time for one frame. In this way, all frequency bands (allocatable frequency bands) for usable downstream resource blocks in wireless communications between the wireless base station (eNB1-1) and a serving wireless terminal (UE2-1) are covered by the first SRS transmission frequency band and the second SRS transmission frequency band.
