  • Patent number: 9979516
    Abstract: It is intended to provide a transmission device, a reception device and a communication system capable of improving transmission characteristics by performing packet combining by HARQ in MU-MIMO transmission using non-linear precoding. In a case of receiving NAK from any of terminal devices (400), a base station device (100) retransmits a packet, in which an error occurs, addressed to this terminal device. The base station device (100) transmits the data to be retransmitted together with other transmission data addressed to a different terminal device or addressed to the own terminal device by spatial multiplexing transmission with MU-MIMO. At this time, for the retransmission data, precoding is performed such that a perturbation term same as a perturbation term which has been added to this data by non-linear precoding at the time of initial transmission is added.

  • Patent number: 9859961
    Abstract: A terminal apparatus can be notified whether an MU-MIMO signal transmitted from a base station apparatus is linear-precoded or nonlinear-precoded by using effective signaling. According to the present invention, the base station apparatus decides whether the nonlinear precoding is used in an own cell, includes the decided nonlinear precoding setting information in system information or a layer 3 message, and notifies the terminal apparatus of the decided nonlinear precoding setting information by using a physical broadcast channel, a physical downlink share channel, or the like. The terminal apparatus performs a demodulation process for user data destined for the own terminal apparatus based on the nonlinear precoding setting information acquired from the notified system information or layer 3 message.
