Data transmission method, data reception method, mobile terminal and radio communication system

A communication method for a radio communication system employing an enhanced uplink scheme includes the steps of determining a transmission power control bit for controlling transmission power of a downlink control channel; generating an uplink control signal including the transmission power control bit; and transmitting the uplink control signal to a base station. In the determining step, whether an indicator channel indicating acknowledgement or negative acknowledgement for an uplink data channel is receivable at a quality level better than a predetermined value is evaluated, and the transmission power control bit of the indicator channel is determined based on the evaluation result.

Communication method and communication terminal for radio communication system

A disclosed communication terminal includes a determination unit analyzing a received downlink control signal and determining an allowable maximum uplink transmission power level, a measurement unit performing different frequency measurement in a transmission gap period, a threshold determination unit determining whether the allowable maximum level is higher than or equal to a threshold within a predefined period before the start and/or after the end of the transmission gap period, a transmission power control unit setting an uplink transmission power level, and a transmission unit transmitting an uplink signal at the determined power level. If the allowable maximum level is higher than or equal to the threshold, the transmission power control unit sets the uplink transmission power level to or below a predefined level lower than the allowable maximum level within the predefined period before the start and/or after the end of the transmission gap period.

Communication terminal and method for use in radio communication system

Signals are received with a wider power range even through the use of existing AGCs than by conventional mobile communication terminals. In an AGC on one antenna side, in order to enable reception of a signal at a higher level, a target TA of a dynamic range DA of this AGC is changed to a value 5 dB higher than a value defined as a standard TS. On the other hand, in an AGC on another antenna side, in order to enable reception of a signal at a lower level, a target TB of a dynamic range DB of this AGC is changed to a value 5 dB lower than the value defined as the standard TS.

A mobile station includes a handover controller. When the mobile station simultaneously communicates with a plurality of radio base stations by using first channels and communicates only with a certain one of the plurality of radio base stations by using a second communication channel, and even when the radio quality of the certain radio base station communicating by using the second communication channel becomes deteriorated, the handover controller maintains communications with the certain radio base station communicating by using the second communication channel.

The transmission power of feedback information (: FBI) is controlled on the basis of control information (TPC) transmitted through a sub-information downlink channel () from a base station () as a main branch, only when it is determined by a communication method determining sectionthat a cosed loop transmit diversity can be applied (step S: Yes), and when it is determined by a communication base station determining sectionthat sub-information downlink channels () and sub-information uplink channels () are connected to a plurality of base stations (step S: Yes).

Mobile station and transmission power control method in mobile station

A communication terminal device and a reception environment reporting method produce a more excellent throughput, by making a report of a reception environment with higher accuracy. An SIR measuring section measures an SIR from a reception signal that has been received from a base transceiver station. A CQI converter converts the SIR that has been measured by the SIR measuring section into a CQI value. A BLER calculating section calculates a block error rate of the reception signal. A CQI correcting section corrects the CQI value that has been calculated by the CQI converter, in accordance with the block error rate. A CQI transmitter transmits the CQI value that has been corrected by the CQI correcting section, to the base transceiver station.

When the diversity reception is cut, communications with the base station are continued. When it is judged by the judgment section of the mobile communication terminal that a predetermined disconnection requirement for disconnecting diversity reception is satisfied, the gain control section of the digital baseband circuitryreduces the gain of the AGCB contained in the RF receiver circuitryB constituting the disconnection target by a fixed value at fixed times. Diversity reception is cut after the level of the signal output by the AGCB has reached zero.

A packet receiving section receives six packets included in one frame transmitted from a base station, a sample timing control section shifts sample timing of the A/D converter by a half clock between former three packets and latter three packets out of six packets included in one frame.
