  • Patent number: 8605571
    Abstract: Provided is a radio communication device which can reduce ISI caused by destruction of an orthogonal DFT matrix even when an SC-FDMA signal is divided into a plurality of clusters and the clusters are respectively mapped to discontinuous frequency bands. The radio communication device includes a DFT unit (110), a division unit (111), and a mapping unit (112). The DFT unit (110) uses the DFT matrix to execute a DFT process on a symbol sequence in a time region to generate a signal (SC-FDMA signal) of the frequency region. The division unit (111) generates a plurality of clusters by dividing the SC-FDMA signal with a partially orthogonal bandwidth corresponding to the vector length of some of the column vectors constituting the DFT matrix used in the DFT unit (110) and orthogonally intersecting at least partially. The mapping unit (112) maps the clusters to discontinuous frequency bands.

  • Publication number: 20130272257
    Abstract: Provided is a wireless communication terminal which, when SRSs are simultaneously transmitted between CCs and between antenna ports, avoids increasing the effect of bit rounding errors of D/A converters when the number of antenna ports set for SRS transmission differs between CCs. This device comprises a transmission power calculation unit (107) which calculates the transmission power of a plurality of UL channels of a plurality of CCs and a plurality of antenna ports. A power scaling detection unit (108) detects whether or not the total transmission power of the UL channels exceeds the maximum transmission power specific to a UE. When power scaling is generated, a power scaling control unit (109) uses antenna port setting information set for SRS transmission between CCs to perform power scaling in such a way that all scaling weights are uniform between CCs, or between CCs and between antenna ports.

  • Patent number: 8560910
    Abstract: There is provided a wireless communication device capable of improving a decoding performance by using an optimal selection criterion for a start address and a read direction in a circular buffer. An interlacer (13) writes an interleaved and interlaced bit sequence into a circular buffer (14). An RV decision unit (109) decides the read start address and read direction of the circular buffer (14) based on the number of non-transmitted systematic bits, the number of non-transmitted important parity bits, and/or the number of non-transmitted unimportant parity bits. A read control unit (110) controls the read start address and read end address of the circular buffer (14). A read unit (15) is controlled by the read control unit (110) to continuously read encoded bits from the circular buffer (14).

  • Publication number: 20130215811
    Abstract: Provided are a wireless communication terminal device and a power allocation method, wherein transmission channel quality information, regarding a Pcell having a high probability that UCI is multiplied therein, can be accurately estimated by an SRS having high priority in power allocation, and an eNB can instruct appropriate transmission power to an UL channel which transmits the subsequent UCI. A power scaling detection unit (108) detects whether or not a total transmission power value of the UL channels transmitted by the plurality of CC exceeds the maximum transmission power specific to the UE. When a plurality of SRS are simultaneously transmitted using a Pcell and a Scell, and power scaling occurs, a power scaling control unit (109) performs power allocation so that transmission power of the SRS of the Pcell has the higher priority than that of the SRS of the Scell.

  • Publication number: 20130128859
    Abstract: Provided are a wireless communication terminal apparatus and a wireless communication method that can preclude the recognition mismatch in which the reference formats of different UL grants are recognized between the wireless communication terminal apparatus and a wireless communication base station apparatus. For the PHR calculation of a PUSCH in a CC in which no UL grant is present, a UL grant, which was used for calculating the PHR in another CC having the same subframe number as the PUSCH, is used. For example, as to a subframe number=#1, the UL grant of CC #0 is used for calculating the PHR of CC #2 in which no UL grant is present.
