20140112279 | COMMUNICATION TERMINAL DEVICE AND METHOD, BASE STATION DEVICE, AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - The present technique relates to a communication terminal device and method, a base station device, and a communication system that enable efficient communications. A first communication unit that performs a first communication with a first other device transmits information indicating the margin in which the first communication is not disturbed by a second communication with a second other device, to the first other device. The communication terminal device and the communication system of the present technique can be used to perform efficient communications between a personal computer and a communication system utilizing the personal computer, for example. | 2014-04-24 |
20140112280 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR INFORMATION TRANSMISSION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - The present invention relates to a wireless communication system and more specifically relates to a method and device for transmitting information. A wireless communication system can support carrier aggregation (CA). In one aspect of the present invention, a method, in which a terminal receives information from a base station in a wireless communication, comprises the steps of: receiving, from the base station, first information on the transmission method of a first channel; receiving the receiving the first channel, from the base station, via at least one serving cell formed in the terminal; and carrying out decoding on the first channel in accordance with the first information. Therein, the first channel is an enhanced physical downlink control channel (ePDCCH), and the terminal is capable of not carrying out decoding on the first channel in a frequency region in a present subframe. | 2014-04-24 |
20140112281 | Closed Control Loop for Uplink Scheduling - An exemplary scheduling system and method implemented in a base station comprises a modeling unit, a prediction unit, and a scheduling unit incorporated into a control loop. The modeling unit determines a modeled air-interface parameter by modeling, e.g., a load or interference parameter, associated with the mobile terminals during a current transmission interval based on an earlier set of scheduling grants generated for the mobile terminals. The prediction unit determines a predicted error for a subsequent transmission interval based on the modeled parameter and a measured parameter reported by the mobile terminals during the current transmission interval. The scheduling unit generates a new set of scheduling grants for the mobile terminals for the subsequent transmission interval based on the predicted error. | 2014-04-24 |
