  • Publication number: 20230318789
    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.

  • Patent number: 11700665
    Abstract: A high-speed communication system etc. are provided in New Radio (NR) and LTE. When a secondary base station device detects a data inactive state for all bearers, the secondary base station device notifies a master base station device of occurrence of the data inactive state regardless of absence of an inquiry from the master base station device. The data inactive state is a state in which downlink data for a communication terminal device is inactive. When the master base station device receives the notification about the occurrence of the data inactive state, the master base station device transmits a command to the communication terminal device to transition from an RRC_CONNECTED state to an RRC_INACTIVE state. Based on the command from the master base station device, the communication terminal device transitions to the RRC_INACTIVE state.

  • Publication number: 20230119586
    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.
