The present invention is designed to provide a user terminal, a radio base station and a radio communication method of novel structures that can achieve a good communication environment. A radio base station non-orthogonal-multiplexes downlink signals for a plurality of user terminals over a given radio resource, a user terminal having received the downlink signals for the plurality of user terminals decodes downlink signal for another user terminal, judges whether or not the downlink signal for the other user terminal has been successfully received, based on the decoding result of the downlink signal, reports a judgement result as to whether or not the downlink signal for the other user terminal has been successfully received and a judgement result as to whether or not a downlink signal for the user terminal has been successfully received, to the radio base station, and then the radio base station executes retransmission control of downlink signals based on reports from the user terminal.

Ofdma with adaptive subcarrier-cluster configuration and selective loading

A MIMO radio transceiver to support processing of multiple signals for simultaneous transmission via corresponding ones of a plurality of antennas and to support receive processing of multiple signals detected by corresponding ones of the plurality of antennas. The radio transceiver provides, on a single semiconductor integrated circuit, a receiver circuit or path for each of a plurality of antennas and a transmit circuit or path for each of the plurality of antennas. Each receiver circuit downconverts the RF signal detected by its associated antenna to a baseband signal. Similarly, each transmit path upconverts a baseband signal to be transmitted by an assigned antenna.

In the device and the method, BS and MS share a table correlating a basic TF as a combination of parameters such as TB size used for transmitting only user data, an allocation RB quantity, a modulation method, and an encoding ratio, with a derived TF having user data of different TB size by combining L1/L2 control information. Even when multiplexing L1/L2 control information, Index corresponding to the basic TF is reported from BS to MS.

The invention is a system operating on a reference frequency. The system comprises a plurality of at least three nodes. Each node hands off a message received from another node to a subsequent node. Each of the nodes comprises a transceiver receiving a message on the reference frequency from another node and transmitting the received message on the reference frequency to a subsequent node, and a controller controlling operation of the transceiver to receive the message transmitted by another node and to transmit the received message to a subsequent node.

Node-to node messaging transceiver network with dynamic routing and configuring

A diversity receiving apparatus for use in an OFDM transmission radio communication/broadcasting system where OFDM signals are received by a plurality of antennas and input into a plurality of receivers. The OFDM received signals are further transformed into frequency spectra. Channel frequency responses are calculated by using OFDM received signal frequency spectra and a reference frequency spectrum generated in a reference spectrum generator. OFDM received signal frequency spectra distortions are compensated by using corresponding channel frequency responses. The transformed OFDM received signal frequency spectra are input into a selector unit as first input signals, while the distortion-compensated OFDM received signal frequency spectra are input into the selector unit as second input signals. The selector unit then selects a second input signal corresponding to a first input signal having maximum amplitude or maximum power. A demodulator then demodulates the output signal of the selector unit into a digital signal sequence.

Method of notifying function identification information and communication system

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve transmission average power by controlling the amplitude of an orthogonal frequency division multiple(OFDM) time waveform and to improve the throughput by reducing transmission errors. SOLUTION: A sending side applies scramble systems #1 to #N to a sending data system. Outputs of scrambling parts 10#1 to 10#N are modulated, and plural OFDM symbols are produced. A selecting part 16 selects one of plural OFDM symbols and sends it. A receiving side descrambles digital data obtained from a received signal by descrambling parts 112#1 to 112#N. One among plural descrambled outputs is a correct data system. A selecting part 116 outputs the data system that is correctly descrambled as a receiving data system. It is possible to change an OFDM time waveform by changing a scramble system. COPYRIGHT: (C)1999,JPO

Ofdm signal transmission method and ofdm signal transmitter thereof

A retransmission control apparatus for use in a radio communication system that uses an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing technique, the apparatus comprising a transmitter which transmits to a radio station a data sequence, which serves as communication data that has been transformed into a time waveform of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing symbol; a receiver which receives from the radio station a retransmission request for retransmitting the communication data; a transformation mechanism configured to transform, in response to the retransmission request, the data sequence of the communication data to be retransmitted into an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing symbol having a time waveform different from the time waveform of the orthogonal division multiplexing symbol which had been sent before the retransmission request; and a retransmitting mechanism configured to retransmit the communication data transformed by the transformation mechanism to the radio station. Since the time waveform of the resulting OFDM data symbol after the retransmitting operation is changed from that before the retransmitting operation, it is highly likely that the average power of the transmitting signal is increased. As a result, the occurrence of errors when the data sequence is retransmitted is reduced, thereby improving the throughput.
