Abstract: A PDSCH of a legacy UE is mapped to physical resources per subframe, whereas a PDSCH of an LR-UE is mapped, per physical resource block (PRB) included in the subframe, to a region of the physical resources to which the PDSCH of the legacy UE is mapped. The PDSCH of the legacy UE may be also mapped to the physical resources per PRB pair including two physical resource blocks, whereas the PDSCH of the LR-UE may be mapped to the remaining physical resources excluding the PRB pairs to which the PDSCH of the legacy UE is mapped.

Abstract: A mobile communication system includes a movable user equipment device, a plurality of base station devices configured to perform radio communication with the user equipment device, and a relay device movably configured to relay radio communications between the user equipment device and the base station devices. In a handover process of switching a base station device to be connected with the relay device from a base station device being a moving source to a base station device being a moving destination along with moving of the relay device, the base station device being a moving source selects the base station device being a moving destination from base station devices other than a base station device that does not have a function supporting the relay device, and performs the handover process such that the relay device is connected to the selected base station device.

Abstract: A UE in an idle state selects any of a group A, to which a cell of which coverage its own device is in, belongs and a group different from the group A, for example, a group B, and then measures cells belonging to the selected group for selecting a cell being a re-selection destination. A UE in a connected state selects any of the group B to which a cell connected with the UE belongs and a group different from the group B, for example, the group A, and measures cells belonging to the selected group for handover.

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 (902) in a subframe (901). The UE obtains, from the downlink control signal (902), information on a piece of user data (903) in the subframe (901), and the information (904) on the next reception timing. The UE transmits and receives the piece of user data (903) to and from the gNB. The information (904) on the next reception timing indicates a subframe (905) as the next reception timing of the UE. The UE receives a downlink control signal (906) in the subframe (905).

Abstract: A numerical control device of a machine tool recognizes a failure of a vibration detection unit in a relatively short time to minimize damage to functions achieved using the vibration detection unit. A program interpreting unit interprets an automatic tool exchange operation, and a storage unit is instructed to store vibration information V(x) from the vibration detection unit. After the automatic tool exchange operation is finished, the storage unit is instructed to stop storage. When none of the vibration information V(x) stored in the storage unit exceeds a prescribed vibration level, a vibration information analysis unit determines abnormality of the vibration detection unit.

Abstract: A communication system includes a base station configuring an energy saving cell (ES cell) and a base station configuring a compensation cell (Comp cell). The ES cell is switchable between a switch-on state and a switch-off state. The Comp cell compensates for the coverage of the ES cell when the ES cell is in the switch-off state. Before the Comp cell starts compensating for the coverage, for example, before the ES cell decides to switch itself off in Step ST2101, in Step ST2201 for example, the base station configuring the ES cell notifies the UE being connected with the ES cell of the information about a Comp cell, for example, a Comp cell list.

Abstract: A narrow-bandwidth terminal device performs radio communication at a bandwidth narrower than a system bandwidth. The narrow-bandwidth terminal device in an idle state camps on a cell, and performs discontinuous reception of a signal transmitted from the cell. The terminal device also determines a reception condition of the signal, for example, whether the signal can be received. When it is determined that the signal cannot be received, the narrow-bandwidth terminal device moves out of a coverage area of the cell while continuing to perform the discontinuous reception. When it is determined that a discontinuous reception timer has been completed, the narrow-bandwidth terminal device continues to perform the discontinuous reception.

Abstract: Respective amounts of movement of feed axes corresponding to first and second position controllers are determined, and if a value obtained by dividing a smaller amount of movement by a larger amount of movement, in the two amounts of movement, falls within a prescribed reference range, a position controller for the feed axis with the smaller amount of movement selects a detected motor position as a position feedback value and a position controller for the other feed axis selects a detected object position as a position feedback value.

Abstract: A communication system is provided that, if a large number of small cells are installed, is capable of configuring an operation suitable for small cells through simple operation and administration. If a small cell installed in Step ST1401 judges in Step ST1403 that a coverage macro cell, which includes the small cell in the coverage of the coverage macro cell, is present as a result of neighbor cell search in Step ST1402, notifies the coverage macro cell and another neighbor cell of its own capability in Steps ST1404 and 1405. The coverage macro cell selects a configuration parameter suitable for the capability of the small cell in Step ST1406 and notifies the small cell in Step ST1407. The small cell recognizes an operation mode configured by the coverage macro cell from the configuration parameter notified from the coverage macro cell, and then, starts operating in the operation mode.

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.
