Abstract: In an overlay cell configuration in which a second cell, a second cell of a same frequency and a third cell of a different frequency are overlapped at least partially with each other, a concentration of communication traffic on the first cell is prevented. It is obtained of a measurement result (MR) including a measurement result of a reception-quality level measured at the same frequency reported by a mobile station connected to a second base station of the same frequency and a cell identifier of a receiving target cell, it is decided whether to change a value of a parameter for determination used for determining a different-frequency-measurement start that is set in the second base station of the same frequency, based on the measured value of the reception-quality level of the signal from the first cell included in the measurement report (MR), when the measurement report (MR) includes the cell identifier of the first cell, and the value of the parameter for determination is changed based on a result of the deciding.

Abstract: A radio-resource assignment control mode for assigning radio resources for an inter-terminal direct communication to plural UEs in a same group is appropriately selected to ensure low latency and highly reliable inter-terminal direct communications in the same group. A radio-resource assignment control mode for assigning the radio resources for the inter-terminal direct communication of the plural UEs 20 belonging to a group can be selected from a first mode in which a base station assigns radio resources for inter-terminal direct communication and a second mode in which any one of plural UEs assigns radio resources for inter-terminal direct communication. A base station 10 confirms whether or not all UEs in a group are located in a cell of the base station 10 and are in a synchronized state in which a radio connection setup with the base station 10 is completed and the synchronization with the base station 10, and transmits resource control information for inter-terminal direct communication including a first mode allowable message allowing an operation in the first mode, to the plural UEs, in case that all UEs in the group are confirmed to be in the synchronized state with the base station 10.

Abstract: When there is a movement or attitude change of an upper-airspace staying type communication relay apparatus, it is suppressed of an increase in control signals and disconnection of communication with a terminal apparatus in a cell configuring a service area, and it is reduced of a circuit scale and power consumption of a base-station processing section. The base-station processing section of the communication relay apparatus performs, with respect to a radio resource part for control communication by which a communication is performed with plural terminal apparatuses located in a cell via a single or plural beams for control among downlink and uplink radio resources used for service links, a footprint fixation control for performing a precoding and a postcoding so as to fix a position of a footprint corresponding to the beam for control, based on information on at least one of a position and attitude of the communication relay apparatus, and does not perform the footprint fixation control on the basis of the information on the at least one of the position and attitude, with respect to downlink and uplink radio resource parts other than the radio resource part for control communication.

Abstract: In an upper-airspace staying type communication relay apparatus that performs an MU-MIMO radio communication with plural terminal apparatuses located in a cell, it is intended to improve the communication quality of the entire cell and enhance the system capacity, while suppressing an increase in overhead in the terminal apparatus and the communication relay apparatus even if the number of terminal apparatuses located in the cell increases. The communication relay apparatus receives an uplink signal from each of plural terminal apparatuses via an array antenna, estimates angle information indicating a direction of the terminal apparatus for each of the plural terminal apparatuses, selects a terminal apparatus to be assigned to each of plural radio resources used for a downlink based on the estimation result of the angle information, calculates a downlink beamforming weight based on the estimation result of the angle information, and transmits a downlink signal to the terminal apparatus via the array antenna based on the beamforming weight corresponding to the terminal apparatus and the radio resources assigned to the terminal apparatus.
