  • Publication number: 20100167660
    Abstract: A reception unit measures a reception power level of a reference signal which is received from a base station apparatus BS. A reception signal processing unit acquires information indicative of a transmission power level of the reference signal. A control unit finds a path loss on the basis of the reception power level and this information. The control unit determines, on the basis of the path loss, a transmission power level of that one of two transmission frequency bands, which is closer to a frequency band with respect to which the pass loss has been measured. The control unit determines a transmission power level of the other transmission frequency band, which is farther from the frequency band with respect to which the pass loss has been measured, by correcting the transmission power level on the basis of a correction value based on a difference in frequency.

  • Publication number: 20090190680
    Abstract: A base station transmits a control channel transmitted before information channels upon performing differential coding between control channels of adjacent frequencies. A terminal apparatus performs transmission path estimation on the basis of a pilot while decoding the control channel having undergone the differential coding. The information channels are decoded on the basis of information obtained by decoding the control channel and a transmission path estimation result on the pilot.

  • Publication number: 20090170500
    Abstract: A controller selects M resource blocks having most preferable CQI values from Ncqi resource blocks on the basis of the reception signal qualities of the Ncqi resource blocks measured by a reception signal quality measuring unit. The controller then obtains the position information of the M resource blocks and the average of the M resource blocks, and outputs them as items of CQI information to a CQI channel generator. When performing best-effort data communication, the controller sets parameter M=Ma. When performing low-rate communication with a small delay, the controller sets parameter M=Mb (=Ncqi?Ma) to perform scheduling with a high degree of freedom.

  • Publication number: 20090170442
    Abstract: Each of a mobile station and a base station stores a Wideband CQI table and a Subband CQI table. At the mobile station, a control unit transmits a CQI report value indicating Wideband CQI, and an index (Index S) indicating a differential value of a Diff reference value based on the CQI report value and Subband CQI, on the basis of the tables. In addition, the control unit makes the Diff reference value variable to prevent an expression amount of the index from being damaged if the Wideband CQI report value is in a range close to an upper lit or a lower limit of the Wideband CQI table.

  • Publication number: 20090011764
    Abstract: Mobile station notifies base station of identification information of base stations searched by searching as a search list, and the base station notifies the mobile station of base stations which are not regarded as prestored neighbor base stations and base stations which are in an unusable base station list, of the base stations in the notified search list, as an NG list. If necessity of handover is increased, the mobile station receiving the notification executes handover to base stations (for example, base station) in the search list other than the base stations included in the NG list.

  • Publication number: 20080310544
    Abstract: In a base station, after CRC is added to transmission data as a detection code, the transmission data is subjected to error-correcting coding using a convolutional code based on tail biting, divided into four frames of P-BCH and transmitted. For this reason, at a mobile station, even if reception (synthesis) is started from any frame of P-BCH represented as (b-1) to (b-4), a cyclic structure of the transmission signal is maintained due to the tail biting and reception data shifted by unit of frame can be obtained. For this reason, at the mobile station, even if a leading frame is unknown, decoding can be executed by one-time error-correcting decoding. A result of the decoding is subjected to CRC detection in four frame timings, the leading frame is detected and the transmission data is restored.

  • Publication number: 20080232517
    Abstract: A mobile station obtains information indicating a system band to be employed from a base station before starting a process of identifying a base station ID. In the identification process, the mobile station obtains a cross-correlation value by coherent integration of pilot signals and scrambling codes which may be candidates by using a synchronization signal as a phase reference, in a channel band for synchronization, and obtains a cross-correlation value by non-coherent integration of the pilot signals and the scrambling codes by using a phase difference between sub-carriers in a frequency direction, in the system band other than the channel band for synchronization. Then, the mobile station merges these cross-correlation values, detects a scrambling code from which a maximum cross-correlation value can be obtained, and identifies the base station ID.

  • Publication number: 20080049712
    Abstract: A mobile station measures channel variation in a time direction and channel variation in a frequency direction, and selects a CQI compression method to be actually applied, on the basis of a CQI updating cycle, a CQI channel size, the channel variation in the time direction and the channel variation in the frequency direction transmitted from a base station. The mobile station notifies the base station of CQI format information associated with the selected CQI compression method together with a measured CQI value. On the basis of the CQI format information, the base station analyzes in what compression method the CQI value is compressed, and executes scheduling in accordance with a result of the analysis.
