20130039320 | BASE STATION APPARATUS AND SCHEDULING METHOD - This invention relates to a base station apparatus (eNB) capable of reducing the data processing delay (U-plane latency) by more amount than an LTE system during a semi-persistent scheduling. In an eNB ( | 2013-02-14 |
20130039321 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING UPLINK CONTROL INFORMATION IN A CARRIER AGGREGATION SYSTEM - The present invention provides a method and apparatus for transmitting UCI (uplink control information) by user equipment in a carrier aggregation system. According to the method, the user equipment transmits UCI through a PUSCH (physical uplink shared channel) of a primary cell in a subframe that has PUSCH transmission of the primary cell; and if the subframe that does not have the PUSCH transmission of the primary cell has PUSCH transmission of at least one secondary cell, the user equipment transmits the UCI through the PUSCH of one of the at least one secondary cell. In this case, more than one serving cell is set up in the user equipment; simultaneous transmission of PUSCH and PUCCH (physical uplink control channel), with PUSCH being a data channel and PUCCH being a control channel, is not set up in the serving cells; and each of the serving cells includes the primary cell and the at least one secondary cell. | 2013-02-14 |
20130039322 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING CHANNEL TRANSMISSION - The present invention discloses a method and device for controlling channel transmission. The control method includes: an MAC module receiving a resource configuration message; the MAC module parsing influence information from the resource configuration message, wherein the influence information indicates a radio bearer (RB) resource influenced by resource configuration; and during the resource configuration, the MAC module only pausing the data transmission borne by the RB resource influenced by the resource configuration. By way of the present invention, the RB resource not influenced by the resource configuration during the resource configuration can still carry out normal data transmission, avoiding the waste of RB resources not influenced by the resource configuration during the resource configuration. | 2013-02-14 |
20130039323 | COMMUNICATION TERMINAL, CONTROL DEVICE, COMMUNICATION METHOD, CONTROL METHOD, PROGRAM, AND INTEGRATED CIRCUIT - The communication terminal includes: a receiving unit and a transmission unit which serve as a communication unit for signal exchange; a beacon processing unit as a first detection unit that detects, for each channel, the number of the other communication terminals performing wireless communication by receiving a terminal number notification signal from a control device; a data processing unit as a second detection unit that counts, for each channel, the number of the other communication terminals found by receiving acknowledgement signals transmitted from the other communication terminals; a channel control unit that selects a frequency channel having a least difference between the number detected by the beacon processing unit and the number counted by the data processing unit, and causes the receiving unit and the transmission unit to perform the signal exchange via the selected frequency channel. | 2013-02-14 |
