  • Publication number: 20160057674
    Abstract: The invention is intended to, even in a situation where there are many candidate wireless base stations (WBSs) to which a mobile terminal (MT) may connect, get information of communication conditions between the MT and each of those WBSs and determine an WBS to which the MT should connect in a shorter time. A coverage area of the first WBS is overlapped partially at least by a coverage area of the second WBS. The MT transmits a signal for connection using a predetermined frequency. Upon receiving the signal for connection, the second WBSs each notify the WBS communication manager of their reception results of the signal for connection. The WBS communication manager selects a second WBS to communicate with the MT based on the reception results and notifies the selected second WBS to transmit a response signal to the signal for connection to the MT.

  • Publication number: 20150319754
    Abstract: When a carrier aggregation using a macro cell of a legacy carrier as a primary cell and using a small cell of a new carrier type as a secondary cell is performed, transmission of a control channel (PUCCH) of an uplink is concentrated on an uplink of the macro cell and frequency efficiency is degraded. For this reason, in a state in which the macro cell is configured as the primary cell, a serving cell transmitting the PUCCH is configured to a terminal and the terminal transmits the PUCCH using the configured serving cell.

  • Patent number: 9161277
    Abstract: Interference applied to neighbor cells during terminal handovers can be reduced in wireless communication systems containing base stations having different cell sizes. A serving cell makes handover judgment criteria easier based on pre-acquired cell size information on its own cell and cell size information of neighbor cells in order to facilitate terminal handovers from a base station with a large cell size to a base station with a small cell size. The serving cell finds evaluation function values based on the propagation state (e.g. reference signal received power) between the terminal and target cell, and the interference and load information exchanged between the base stations, and selects the terminal for handover by comparing the evaluation function value with the handover criteria value. The system selects a target cell having a good effect in lowering interference such as a cell with large reference signal received power acquired from a terminal, to serve as the handover destination.

  • Publication number: 20150257160
    Abstract: Even when a downlink radio traffic volume is larger than an uplink radio traffic volume in a radio communication system, but uplink resources are redundant in a related art radio communication system, free uplink resources could not be sufficiently utilized. In a base station having a cellular unit that performs cellular communication with a terminal, and a D2D unit that performs communication with the terminal through a device-to-device communication system, when the downlink radio resources get tight, and the uplink radio resources are redundant, the D2D unit of the base station conducts transmission and reception with the terminal with the use of the uplink radio resources.

  • Patent number: 8804802
    Abstract: Transmission power relative to a propagation path having a variation in gain is controlled to increase communication channel capacity, and a data rate is controlled in accordance with the variation of the increased communication channel capacity. In order to increase the communication channel capacity, the transmission power is determined so that the sum of noise power (=received noise power/propagation path gain) converted into one at a transmitter and the transmission power becomes constant. As a result, contrary to the background art, the transmission power is controlled to be reduced when the propagation path gain decreases and to be increased when the propagation path gain increases.

  • Patent number: 8787146
    Abstract: A discontinuous change in a transmission timing in a time domain, which is caused by a transmission timing adjustment processing of an OFDMA uplink or the like, brings about a discontinuous rotation of a signal phase in a frequency domain, resulting in reduced communication quality. A wireless communication system of the present invention allows the signal phase of the frequency domain in a receiving station to be continuous before and after the timing adjustment processings by controlling a signal sequence in a transmission signal after conversion in the time domain in synchronization with the timing adjustment processing.

  • Patent number: 8744362
    Abstract: A cellular radio communication system includes a first mobile terminal, a base station that performs radio communication with first mobile terminals, a second mobile terminal, and a second base station that performs radio communication with second mobile terminals. In the downlink communication, the base station selects a high data rate mode when the radio interference from the base station to the second mobile terminals that are located close to an edge of a communication area of the second base station is small. The base station selects an interference mitigation mode in the downlink communication when the radio interference from the base station to the second mobile terminals that are located close to the edge of the communication area of the second base station is large. Thus, inter-cell interference control can be performed in collaboration with base stations in the radio communication system without having communication interface between the base stations.

  • Patent number: 8660049
    Abstract: In a time slot in which a first base station for performing a multicast transmission executes the multicast transmission, a second base station which does not perform the multicast transmission does not perform a unicast data transmission. The time slot in which the first base station performs the multicast transmission is notified to the second base station from a multicast control apparatus for performing scheduling of the multicast transmission to the first base station. Information to receive the multicast transmission is notified from the second base station to a terminal connected to the second base station.
