  • Patent number: 10951456
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a base station apparatus, a terminal apparatus, and a communication method. In a case that Multi-User Superposition Transmission (MUST) is applied, the transmit power for applying 256 QAM is insufficient. MUST is efficiently applied in an environment in which an MCS table including 256 QAM is configured for use. The base station includes an MCS configuration unit configured to hold a first table including MCS indices that include 256 QAM, and a second table not including 256 QAM, and in a case of performing MUST, configure an MCS not including 256QAM for downlink data of the second terminal, and a PDSCH generating unit configured to generate, by use of MUST, downlink data of the first terminal and downlink data of the second terminal that are generated based on the MCS indices configured.

  • Patent number: 10819388
    Abstract: In a case that a large number of terminal apparatuses accommodated in a contention based radio communication technology share a frequency resource, the number of data signals of the terminal apparatuses which are non-orthogonally multiplexed in the spatial domain increases. Therefore, in a case that the number of non-orthogonally multiplexed data signals of the terminals is considerably large, residual interference after removing interference in the reception processing degrades transmission performance.

  • Publication number: 20200059838
    Abstract: That is, a handover condition suitable for a communication system may differ from a handover condition suitable for another communication system. Even in a case that the communication system performs the handover, the other communication system may fail to perform the handover, thus causing a communication to be interrupted until the appropriate handover is performed. A communication apparatus includes a communication controller configured to control at least one communication system used for communication with the plurality of communication apparatuses, and an interface unit configured to transmit and/or receive a signal according to the communication system. The communication controller initiates, in a case that a trigger for handover occurs in one of the plurality of communication apparatuses, a handover process of at least two of the plurality of communication apparatuses.
