A plurality of schedulers each corresponding to one or more slices perform, in a same cell formed by one RU, scheduling of radio resources for a UE that uses a corresponding slice. A RAN controller identifies, for each of a plurality of schedulers, an amount of radio resources required for each scheduler in a predetermined period T, based on an amount of data and a communication quality of wireless communication by the UE in the cell. The RAN controller further allocates, to each of the plurality of schedulers, the identified amount of radio resources and a margin of radio resources that can be used for the scheduling.

Control apparatus for scheduling radio resources

A base station apparatus determines whether or not, with respect to a connected terminal apparatus, a condition regarding interference to an up-link signal transmitted from the terminal apparatus to the base station apparatus is satisfied; and executes transmission power control using a first method with respect to the terminal apparatus that has been determined to satisfy the condition.

Method and system for controlling transmission power between a base station and a terminal apparatus

A base station apparatus, which allocates uplink radio resources to a terminal apparatus, checks whether or not first frequency resources reserved for transmission of control information in the radio resources are used, and allocates at least a part of the first frequency resources to transmission of user data if it is checked that the at least a part of the first frequency resources are not used.

Base station apparatus capable of effectively using uplink resources, method for controlling the same, and computer-readable storage medium

A terminal device is configured to establish a communication link with communication equipment through a base station device such that, upon establishing the communication link, part of the communication link is left for a certain base station while another part of the communication link is established with the terminal device through the other base station device according to a plurality of architectures, wherein the terminal device includes a wireless communication part configured to transmit support architecture information representing an architecture supported by the terminal device among a plurality of architectures to the base station device.

Terminal device, base station device, and usable architecture determination method

In a wireless communication system in which when connecting one terminal apparatus to a base station apparatus and another base station apparatus, the other base station apparatus selects a frequency band to be used for control channels transmitted from the terminal apparatus to the other base station apparatus from a plurality of frequency bands usable by the other base station apparatus, and notifies the terminal apparatus of the selected frequency band, the base station apparatus acquires from the terminal apparatus information about radio quality of a signal received from the other base station apparatus for at least one frequency band out of the plurality of frequency bands, extracts a portion of frequency bands out of the plurality of frequency bands based on the acquired information about radio quality, and notifies the other base station apparatus of information representing the portion of frequency bands.

Base station apparatus, control method, and storage medium

A terminal device includes a wireless communication part configured to wirelessly communicate with base station devices; a link controller configured to establish a link with a primary base station device (PCell) so as to enable a wireless communication via the wireless communication part while establishing a link with a secondary base station device (SCell) so as to enable a wireless communication via the wireless communication part; a primary base station link failure detector configured to detect a radio link failure in the wireless communication with the primary base station device based on the predetermined condition; and a primary base station link failure information transmitter configured to wirelessly transmit the information, concerning the radio link failure with the primary base station device, to the secondary base station device when the primary base station link failure detector detects the radio link failure status.

Terminal device, base station device, communication system, and communication method

A terminal device includes a wireless communication unit performing wireless communication; a connection control unit connecting to a first base station device to wirelessly communicate with the first base station device via the wireless communication unit, the first base station serving as a primary, the connection control unit connecting to a second base station device to wirelessly communicate with the second base station device via the wireless communication unit, the second base station device serving as a secondary; a detection unit determining whether quality of wireless communication between the terminal device and the first base station device is in a low state based on a predetermined condition; and a signal transmission control unit wirelessly transmitting via the wireless communication unit, a predetermined signal toward at least either the first or second base station device when the quality is determined to be in the low state by the detection unit.

Terminal device, base station device, communications system, and communications method

A communication control apparatus, in a wireless communication system having an area in which coverage areas of a macro cell base station and a small cell base station using different frequency bands overlap, includes a storage unit and a control unit. The storage unit stores small cell base station information indicating whether the small cell base station is present within a coverage area of a macro cell base station. The control unit instructs a radio terminal apparatus present within the coverage area of the macro cell base station to perform quality measurement in a frequency band of the small cell base station when the small cell base station is present within the coverage area of the macro cell base station based on the small cell base station information.

Communication control apparatus, radio base station apparatus, radio terminal apparatus, and communication control method

Both a wireless terminal apparatus and wireless base station apparatus are provided that can, in an operation of encoding the control signals of the upstream link transmitted from the multiple terminal stations while encoding with regard to each of the terminal stations, increase a number of the terminal stations to which different codes are respectively assigned. A wireless terminal apparatus includes: an encoding information receiving portion receiving encoding information which is used at the wireless terminal apparatus from the base station; a phase-shifting unit which conducts a phase-shifting operation on a predetermined first code based on the encoding information; a code selection unit which, based on the received encoding information, selects a second code from multiple codes orthogonally crossing each other; and a control signal encoding portion which conducts an encoding operation on the control signal that is going to be transmitted to the base station by using both the first code on which the phase-shifting operation has been conducted and the second code.
