  • Publication number: 20240121793
    Abstract: Provided is a communication system capable of suppressing increase in the power consumption of a communication terminal device, degradation in the communication quality, and reduction in the use efficiency of radio resources. A base station device (gNB) notifies a communication terminal device (UE) of information on the next reception timing. The UE receives, for example, a downlink control signal in a subframe. The UE obtains, from the downlink control signal, information on a piece of user data in the subframe, and the information on the next reception timing. The UE transmits and receives the piece of user data to and from the gNB. The information on the next reception timing indicates a subframe as the next reception timing of the UE. The UE receives a downlink control signal in the subframe.

    Abstract: Provided is a high-speed communication system with the high reliability and the low latency under New Radio (NR). A base station device includes a plurality of distributed units (DUs, 802) that transmit and receive radio signals, and a central unit (CU, 801) that controls the plurality of DUs (802). The CU (801) duplicates a downlink packet addressed to a communication terminal device (804), and forwards the duplicated downlink packet to each of at least two DUs (802) among the plurality of DUs (802). Each of the at least two of the DUs (802) transmits, to the communication terminal device (804) by the radio signal, the downlink packet obtained from the CU (801). Upon redundant receipt of the downlink packets, the communication terminal device (804) removes a redundant downlink packet in accordance with a predefined downlink packet removal criterion.
