  • Publication number: 20240113819
    Abstract: Provided is a terminal including a receiver, which, in operation, receives a Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) candidate list for CSI-RS configuration information. The CSI-RS candidate list is indicated as Radio Resource Control (RRC) control information for respective terminals. The terminal further includes circuitry, which, in operation, specifies at least one CSI-RS resource information of a measurement target based on the CSI-RS candidate list, and measures a reception power using the specified CSI-RS resource information. The terminal also includes a transmitter, which, in operation, reports the result of the reception power measurement. A reception power measurement method is also provided.

  • Patent number: 11201851
    Abstract: An information processing device includes storage and a controller. In a case where a change of network address occurs in a communication channel, the storage stores a pre-change network address for a terminal connected to the communication channel in association with a post-change network address for a terminal whose network address has changed. In a case where communication to a terminal is performed using the pre-change network address, the controller controls the communication by using the storage such that, in a case where the network address of the terminal has not changed, the communication is performed as-is, whereas in a case where the network address of the terminal has changed, the pre-change network address is converted to the post-change network address to communicate with the terminal.
