- This modification example is a Standardone case. A description of the same parts as those of the above-described embodiments will be omitted as appropriate.
- each of the U-Cell and the UE 100 determines that the reception quality of the UE 100 in the specific frequency band is lower than the threshold value.
- the U-Cell (U-PCell or U-SCell) transmits threshold setting information (Threshold config.) To the UE 100.
- the threshold setting information can include the following information.
- Information indicating the decryption failure threshold (see step S401) Information indicating a retransmission timer (T-retransmission) Information indicating the number of retransmissions (N-retransmission)
- the UE 100 sets information included in threshold setting information.
- the threshold setting information includes information indicating the decoding failure threshold
- the U-Cell and the UE 100 can share the decoding failure threshold.
- Steps S802 to S807 correspond to steps S702 to S707.
- the U-Cell U-PCell or U-SCell
- U-Cell counts the number of NACK receptions (or the number of ACK reception failures)
- each of the UEs 100 counts the number of NACK transmissions.
- U-Cell and UE 100 compare the counted number with a decoding failure threshold.
- Steps S808 and S809 correspond to steps S410 and S414.
- Steps S810 to S813 correspond to steps S708, S710, S711, and S713.
- Steps S814 and S815 correspond to steps S415 and S416.
- step S816 if the UE 100 has set a retransmission timer, the retransmission timer starts based on the transmission of the retransmission request in step S815. It should be noted that the retransmission timer may be triggered by the transmission of a retransmission request using a specific frequency band without using the general frequency band. This is because the specific frequency band can be used without requiring a license, and therefore, there is a higher possibility that the U-Cell cannot receive a retransmission request than the general frequency band.
- step S817 the U-Cell that has received the retransmission request in step S815 resumes data transmission to the UE 100 using the specific frequency band.
- the U-Cell may resume data transmission to the UE 100 when an empty channel is detected (predetermined period) in S813.
- step S818 when the retransmission timer has started, the UE 100 stops the retransmission timer in response to reception of data from the UCell.
- the UE 100 retransmits the retransmission request in step S820. Thereafter, a retransmission timer may be started. If the UE 100 that has set the number of retransmissions cannot receive data from the U-Cell even if the number of retransmissions is exceeded, the UE 100 ends the retransmission of the retransmission request.
- eNB200 which manages a general frequency band and eNB200 which manages a specific frequency band may be the same, and may differ.
- the cell for example, PCell
- specific frequency band where the general frequency band was utilized are utilized.
- An X1 interface or an S1 interface can be used for exchanging signals with another cell (for example, U-SCell).
- the backhaul may be a wired line or may be wireless.
- the setting information which PCell transmits to UE100 may include the following information.
- the UE 100 can determine that it is necessary to measure the interference state or receive communication using the WLAN link by receiving the special cell information.
- UE 100 always measures the interference state within the period indicated by the period information (once). UE100 may measure an interference condition with the period shown by period information.
- the MeNB when the split bearer is established, the MeNB (PCell) receives the measurement report from the UE 100 in S208, and then receives the measurement report from the UE 100 and the SeNB (U-pSCell). Whether or not to transfer the data of the UE 100 to the SeNB may be determined based on the measurement report.
- the PCell may start transferring the data of the UE 100 to the U-SCell when there is an empty channel. In this case, when the MeNB determines that there is no free channel based on the measurement report from the UE 100 in S213, the MeNB may stop transferring the data of the UE 100 to the SeNB.
- the radio protocol of the bearer is located in both MeNB and SeNB.
- the UE 100 and the P-GW are divided in the MeNB 200-1, and one of the divided (split bearer) terminates in the UE 100 via the SeNB 200-2 and the other divided (split bearer) ) Terminates at the UE 100 without going through the SeNB 200-2.
- the UE 100 has transmitted a stop request to the PCell or pSCell in response to the number of NACK transmissions reaching the decoding failure threshold, but is not limited thereto.
- the UE 100 may transmit a stop request when the number of data decoding failures reaches a threshold (decoding failure threshold) regardless of the number of NACK transmissions.
- the UE 100 has transmitted a stop request to the PCell or pSCell, but is not limited thereto. Instead of the stop request, the UE 100 may transmit a notification indicating that the number of data decoding failures has reached the upper limit value to the PCell or the pSCell.
- an RRH base station may manage a specific frequency band and / or a general frequency band instead of the eNB.
- information can be notified to other RRHs using a fronthaul connecting RRH and BBH (Base Band Unit) instead of the backhaul.
- the eNB that manages the specific frequency band may be collocated with the eNB that manages the general frequency band (macro cell or small cell), or may be collocated with the wireless LAN access point.
- the UE 100 when the reception status of data using a specific frequency band is equal to or greater than the threshold, the UE 100 transmits ACK / NACK using the specific frequency band, and the reception status is the threshold. If it is less, the ACK / NACK may be transmitted using the general frequency band. Or UE100 may transmit ACK / NACK using both a specific frequency band and a general frequency band.
- the UE 100 receives data from the U-pSCell and the U-SCell.
- the UE 100 may receive data only from the U-pSCell.
