A user terminal includes a receiving section configured to receive at least one piece of downlink control information out of first downlink control information that schedules reception of downlink data and second downlink control information that schedules transmission of uplink data; and a control section configured to perform a control to carry out communication using a transmission time interval (TTI) configuration, including an allocation section for receiving the downlink control information, a data section for carrying out reception of downlink data corresponding to the received downlink control information and/or transmission of uplink data, and a delivery acknowledgement section for carrying out reception and/or transmission of delivery acknowledgement information corresponding to predetermined data. | 2018-11-15 |
20180332613 | RANDOM ACCESS FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION - For random access wireless communication, in response to receiving two or more first random access preamble instances, a method generates at least one unique random access response (RAR) for each first random access preamble instance. The time advance information for each first random access preamble instance is different from time advance information for each other first random access preamble instance. | 2018-11-15 |
20180332614 | ZONE-BASED HOMING AND SCHEDULING FOR CENTRALIZED RADIO ACCESS NETWORK (C-RAN) SYSTEM WITH A CLUSTER OF BASEBAND UNITS - One embodiment is directed to zone-based homing and scheduling techniques for a centralized radio access network (C-RAN) system with a cluster of baseband units. | 2018-11-15 |
20180332615 | PEER-TO-PEER COMMUNICATIONS ENHANCEMENTS - An enhanced general superframe structure for peer-to-peer communications in proximity is disclosed, which may be implemented in connection with a variety of different channel access techniques. Additionally, methods are disclosed for enabling multiple P2PNWs in proximity operating under different control schemes, including virtually centralized control, distributed control, and hybrid control, to co-exist. A hyperframe structure is also disclosed, which may comprise two or more superframes, each superframe corresponding to a different one of the corresponding P2PNW control schemes. | 2018-11-15 |
20180332616 | NETWORK SYSTEM, NODE, FRAME COMMUNICATION METHOD, AND PROGRAM - The present invention proposes a network system, etc., that are suitable for improving the communication efficiency of an entire network even when a CSMA, etc., are adopted. A network system for transmitting uplink/downlink traffics using a route having a tree structure with a root node, a plurality of inner nodes, and a plurality of leaf nodes, wherein the root node transmits a downlink frame to the inner nodes and leaf nodes at intervals equal to or greater than an additional wait time differing for each destination node. The root node transmits a downlink frame at, for example, an interval consisting of the additional wait time plus a quality assurance time for assuring communication quality. An interval which is a varying time interval but equal to the additional wait time at the least is assured, whereby the communication efficiency of an entire network is improved. | 2018-11-15 |
20180332617 | CHANNEL CONTENTION METHOD AND APPARATUS - The present invention provides a channel contention method and an apparatus. The method includes: contending, by an RRU, for a target channel; and sending carrier status information to a BBU, where the carrier status information indicates a channel contention result of the RRU. The RRU contends for a channel and can occupy the channel after the contention is successful, and then notifies the BBU of a result of the contention by using the carrier status information. | 2018-11-15 |
20180332618 | METHOD OF WIRELESS COMMUNICATION AND USER EQUIPMENT - A method of wireless communication using an unlicensed band includes performing, with a first transceiver, Listen-Before-Talk (LBT) in the unlicensed band, after the first transceiver has performed the LBT, transmitting a first signal from the first transceiver to a second transceiver in the unlicensed band, and after the first transceiver has transmitted the first signal, transmitting a second signal from the second transceiver to the first transceiver in the unlicensed band without the second transceiver performing the LBT. | 2018-11-15 |
