  • Publication number: 20160323894
    Abstract: To suppress reduction in system performance for mobile communications (group mobility) in a plurality of terminals existing inside the same moving object, a radio communication system for a plurality of user terminals existing inside a moving object and a radio base station is described. The user terminal receives a signal transmitted from the radio base station, and transmits the signal transmitted from the radio base station to a common reception apparatus disposed inside the moving object. The common reception apparatus detects a signal for each user terminal, based on signals transmitted from the plurality of user terminals, and transmits the detected signal to each user terminal. The user terminal receives the signal for the user terminal detected in the common reception apparatus to demodulate. Thus, for group mobility, it is possible to cancel interference among user terminals to improve the multiplexing effect, while suppressing communication overhead.
