  • Patent number: 12132681
    Abstract: A communication system that can reduce latency while preventing reduction in a transmission rate. An eNB communicates with a UE #1 using a self-contained subframe including a first downlink signal (DL #1) and a first uplink signal (UL #1), and with a UE #2 using a self-contained subframe including a second downlink signal (DL #2) and a second uplink signal (UL #2). The self-contained subframe for the UE #1 includes a first gap duration (Gap #1) during which neither the DL #1 nor the UL #1 is transmitted, between transmission durations of the DL #1 and the UL #1. The self-contained subframe for the UE #2 includes a second gap duration (Gap #2) during which neither the DL #2 nor the UL #2 is transmitted, between transmission durations of the DL #2 and the UL #2. The Gaps #1 and #2 are set to each UE.

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20230422224
    Abstract: A communication system capable of a stable communication operation between a base station device and a communication terminal device. A UE is configured to communicate with an MeNB directly or through a SeNB. The UE is set to transmit, to the MeNB and the SeNB, transmission data addressed to the MeNB when an amount of the transmission data exceeds a predetermined threshold. The UE is set to transmit the transmission data not to the SeNB but to the MeNB when the amount is smaller than or equal to the threshold. The threshold is changed so that the transmission data is transmitted to the MeNB and the SeNB, when the SeNB is set to communicate with the UE with radio resources periodically allocated and the amount of the transmission data is smaller than or equal to the threshold.
