  • Patent number: 8509136
    Abstract: A base station BS transmits downlink data to a relay station RS. A mobile station MS transmits uplink data to the relay station RS. The relay station RS determines a first modulation scheme for transmitting the uplink data to the base station BS, and determines a second modulation scheme for transmitting the downlink data to the mobile station MS. The relay station RS multiplies a symbol sequence obtained by the first modulation scheme by a symbol sequence obtained by the second modulation scheme for each symbol, and multicasts the multiplication result to the base station BS and the mobile station MS.

  • Patent number: 8488714
    Abstract: A modulation mapper selects respective data blocks (DBs) hierarchically and sequentially in a descending order of a transmission power ratio control by a gain multiplexer; decides, from a resource element group, unused REs to which modulation symbols can be allocated; and decides the allocation of modulation symbols in the REs. A channel resource element mapper performs the mapping of modulation symbols of the respective DBs to the REs on the basis for the decided allocation. A complex-value transmission signal is generated from the group of REs.

  • Patent number: 8126495
    Abstract: Node-B transmits a power profile of each frequency of transmission data as a step function to a UE. Each UE measures the amount of interference of a received signal, evaluates SINR over the entire frequency band with the power of the received signal, and transmits the evaluation result to Node-B. Node-B evaluates the interference profile in Node-B from the information about the SINR transmitted from the UE and the power of the transmission signal, and determines the frequency profile of the power of the signal transmitted to the UE.

  • Publication number: 20110263198
    Abstract: A radio communication system includes a base station, a mobile station, and a relay station which is provided for each sector, and divides an assigned band into a plurality of sub-bands for use. A different sub-band is used for each sector for a first communication link. A sub-band different from the sub-band in the first communication link is used for each sector for a second communication link. When a mobile station is located in a first zone, substantially the same sub-band as the second communication link is used in each sector for a third communication link. When a mobile station is located in a second zone farther from the base station than the first zone, a sub-band different from those of the first communication link and the second communication link is used for a fourth communication link. Thus, the interference among the communication links can be suppressed.

  • Publication number: 20110078529
    Abstract: A new-part acquiring unit acquires a part of a block generated by a block generating unit, as a new part to be contained in a packet. A retransmission-part acquiring unit acquires a part of a block corresponding to a NAK as a retransmission part to be contained in a packet among blocks held in a retransmission buffer unit. An encoding unit groups a new part acquired by the new-part acquiring unit and a retransmission part acquired by the retransmission-part acquiring unit, and generates a packet. A modulating unit modulates a packet output from the encoding unit. A wireless processing unit performs a predetermined wireless transmission process to a modulated packet, and transmits a processed modulated packet via an antenna.
