  • Patent number: 10432254
    Abstract: A user terminal is disclosed including a receiver that receives a downlink signal that is transmitted in repetitions in narrow bands to which frequency hopping is applied, and a processor that specifies a pattern of the applied frequency hopping based on a starting index that indicates a first narrow band in the narrow bands and a frequency offset that is a shift in a frequency direction from the first narrow band. The processor causes the receiver to receive the downlink signal using the specified pattern. Each of the narrow bands is a part of a system band. The user terminal communicates using the narrow bands only. The downlink signal starts being allocated to the first narrow band.

  • Patent number: 10362574
    Abstract: Disclosed techniques provide for different uplink resource allocation schemes in transmissions that use different shared radio frequency spectrum bands. In some cases, the different shared radio frequency spectrum bands may have different transmission characteristics or parameters, and associated resource allocation schemes may be selected to provide transmissions that are more likely to comply with the transmission characteristics or parameters associated with a particular band. In some cases, resource allocation types may be identified based on one band and mapped to identify uplink resources for an uplink transmission on a different shared radio frequency spectrum band.

  • Patent number: 10225841
    Abstract: A distributed antenna system is provided that frequency shifts the output of one or more microcells to a 60 GHz or higher frequency range for transmission to a set of distributed antennas. The cellular band outputs of these microcell base station devices are used to modulate a 60 GHz (or higher) carrier wave, yielding a group of subcarriers on the 60 GHz carrier wave. This group will then be transmitted in the air via analog microwave RF unit, after which it can be repeated or radiated to the surrounding area. The repeaters amplify the signal and resend it on the air again toward the next repeater. In places where a microcell is required, the 60 GHz signal is shifted in frequency back to its original frequency (e.g., the 1.9 GHz cellular band) and radiated locally to nearby mobile devices.

  • Patent number: 10148401
    Abstract: It is possible to provide a radio communication terminal device and a radio transmission method which can improve reception performance of a CQI and a reference signal. A phase table storage unit stores a phase table which correlates the amount of cyclic shift to complex coefficients {w1, w2} to be multiplied on the reference signal. A complex coefficient multiplication unit reads out a complex coefficient corresponding to the amount of cyclic shift indicated by resource allocation information, from the phase table storage unit and multiplies the read-out complex coefficient on the reference signal so as to change the phase relationship between the reference signals in a slot.
