Abstract:
Provided is a system comprising a base station and a terminal apparatus that communicate with each other by selectively using plural radio resources, which is capable of supplying a power to the terminal apparatus using a communication-unused radio resource between the base station and the terminal apparatus. The base station generates a transmission signal including a dummy signal for wireless power transfer using a communication-unused radio resource that is not used for communication among plural radio resources, and transmits the generated transmission signal to the terminal apparatus. The terminal apparatus receives the transmission signal including the dummy signal transmitted from the base station, and outputs an electric power of the reception signal as a reception power. A battery may be charged using the reception power.
