Abstract:
It is possible to realize reduction of inter-cell interference by an adaptive FFR with a low delay. A terminal (200) includes: an interference condition detection unit (209) which detects an interference condition of other cell to the local cell; a cell identification unit (210) which acquires signals for cell identification of each base station; and a sub-band selection unit (211) which selects a sub-band used for the downstream line transmission to the local station according to the interference condition detected by the interference condition detection unit (209) and the signals for cell identification of each base station obtained by the cell identification unit (210). Thus, the terminal (200) can autonomously select a small sub-band of inter-cell interference and to realize reduction of the inter-cell interference by the adaptive FFR with a low delay.
Abstract:
A multicarrier communication apparatus capable of reducing an amount of information required for feedback, making a range of transmission power fluctuation small, and achieving rapid convergence on a target transmission power is disclosed. With this apparatus, subcarrier pair determination section (1142) puts a plurality of subcarriers contained in a multicarrier signal into pairs, notifies combining section (106) of information pertaining to the pairs of subcarriers, combines received power of each pair of subcarriers, and outputs combined received power obtained in this manner to command producing section (1146). Target power storage section (1144) stores target power for received power in such a manner that SIR at the subject apparatus becomes a desired SIR. Command producing section (1146) compares combined received power for the pairs of subcarriers and target received power, produces a command indicating a difference in power between these two received powers, and generates a control signal containing the produced command.

Disclosed is a wireless communication device capable of always obtaining the optimum error rate characteristic and of keeping the number of retransmissions to a minimum for IR-based HARQ which uses LDPC encoding in the error correction encoding. With the device, an RV control unit (102) controls the system check bit transmission sequence such that all of the system check bits included in an LDPC code word are transmitted with the first transmission in sequence from the smallest column weight of a check matrix, and controls the transmission sequence of multiple RVs such that multiple RVs comprising only system check bits are transmitted in sequence from the smallest column weight when an RV is transmitted additionally after all of the parity bits included in an LDPC code word have been transmitted. In addition, a modulation unit (103) maps a symbol, composed of system check bits belonging to each of the multiple RVs and the transmission sequences of which are controlled by the RV control unit (102), to a signal point which differs from the signal point to which was mapped a symbol composed of the system check bits transmitted with the first transmission.
Abstract:
A wireless communication terminal apparatus and a CQI selecting method wherein when CQIs are grouped according to their levels and then an upper-order CQI, which is indicative of a group, is to be informed in a longer period, while a lower-order CQI, which identifies a CQI in the group, being to be informed in a shorter period, the CQI is precisely selected. A reception SIR range of 0-4 dB in UE corresponds to a level 1 of upper-order CQI. A next reception SIR range of 4-8 dB corresponds to a level 2 of upper-order CQI. Similarly, the following SIR ranges up to 24 dB, each of which is 4 dB higher than a respective previous one, correspond to the respective following levels of upper-order CQI. On the other hand, the levels 1-4 of lower-order CQI, with which the level 1 of upper-order CQI is associated, correspond to a SIR range of −1-5 dB. The levels 1-4 of lower-order CQI, with which the level 2 of upper-order CQI is associated, correspond to a SIR range of 2-9 dB. Thus, the SIR ranges, to which the lower-order CQIs correspond, overlap the respective SIR ranges corresponding to the respective adjacent levels of upper-order CQIs with which the lower-order CQIs are associated.

Abstract:
A communication terminal apparatus and the like wherein even under an environment that the propagation path characteristic is different for each of frequency bands of OFDM signals, the error rates of all the frequency bands are reduced to improve the communication rate. In this apparatus, a connection destination deciding part (221) compares the correlation values of the respective sub-bands for cells (A-D) received from correlation value calculating parts (213-1,213-2,213-3) to determine a sub-band ID that exhibits the highest correlation value in each sub-band. Then, a base station apparatus (100) corresponding to the determined sub-band ID is decided as a connection destination in that sub-band, and the thus decided base station apparatus (100) for each sub-band is notified to an access request signal generating part (222) and to a received data generating part (231).
Abstract:
In order to appropriately control transmit power of a common channel for an MBMS (Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service) so as not to become excessive, a mobile station 1 transmits a TPC command for an S-CCPCH to a base station through an uplink DPCH1 and a mobile station 2 transmits a TPC command for an S-CCPCH to the base station through an uplink DPCH2. When either one of the TPC command for the S-CCPCH transmitted from the mobile station 1 and the TPC command for the S-CCPCH transmitted from the mobile station 2 is a TPC command instructing “Up”, the base station increases transmit power of the downlink S-CCPCH and decreases transmit power of the downlink S-CCPCH when both TPC commands instruct “Down”.
