- the license frequency indicates a dedicated frequency assigned to a specific operator.
- the non-licensing frequency refers to a frequency that is not assigned to a specific operator or a shared frequency that is assigned to a plurality of operators. In the latter case, the frequency is sometimes called a license shared frequency instead of being called a non-licensed frequency, and communication using the frequency is also called Licensed Shared Access (LSA).
- LSA Licensed Shared Access
- LTE-U based on the LAA method is basically executed according to the sequence shown in FIG.
- the eNB performs data transmission (or reception) between UE # 1 and Cell # 1 of the license frequency and Cell # 2 of the non-licensed frequency.
- a radio connection is established between eNB and UE # 1 in Cell # 1 (RRC Connection Establishment, 2401), and a bearer is established between core network (EvolvedvolvePacket Core: EPC) and UE # 1 ( Not shown). That is, Cell # 1 is the PCell of UE # 1.
- eNB When eNB has downlink (DL) / user data (also called User Plane (UP) data) to be transmitted to UE # 1, or when there is uplink (UL) / user data that UE # 1 wants to send Then, the user data is transmitted / received in Cell # 1 (DL (or UL) UP data transmission, 2402).

- the eNB When transmitting user data in the downlink, the eNB performs sensing in Cell # 2, and determines whether the Cell # 2 is usable (Perform channel sensing, 2405). If the eNB determines that Cell # 2 is usable, the eNB transmits / receives user data to / from UE # 1 (DL (or UL) UP data transmission, 2406). Thus, further improvement in throughput or increase in cell capacity can be expected by using non-licensed frequencies.
- the sensing in the above block 2405 is also called Listen Before Talk (LBT) (Non-Patent Document 2), and is performed by LTE-U by another operator or other wireless system (eg) WLAN) at the target non-licensed frequency. It is used to determine whether communication is performed in the vicinity, and corresponds to Channel ⁇ Availability Check (CAC) for radar systems and Clear ⁇ ⁇ Channel Assessment (CCA) executed in Access ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ Point (AP) in WLAN (patent) Reference 1).

- LAA DL downlink LAA
- Non-Patent Document 5 describes an option (option 1) in which the UE performs UL-LBT and an option (option 2) in which the eNB performs UL-LBT.
- the UE performs UL LBT after receiving an uplink grant from the eNB. If the unlicensed frequency channel for UL transmission is idle (ie, clear, not busy, or available), the UE initiates UL transmission. This way is in line with the regulatory requirements of many countries and regions, and the sensing results are always reliable for the UE. However, in this manner, if the channel is not available as a result of LBT, the UE cannot perform transmission according to the UL grant even if the UL grant can be normally received. In this case, the eNB may do link adaptation to increase the UL gain coding gain, although it is not necessary.
- the eNB performs LBT (channel sensing) on the unlicensed frequency channel used by the UE for transmission, and transmits the UL grant to the UE if the channel is idle.
- LBT channel sensing
- the UE starts UL transmission without performing LBT.
- the eNB can control the UE's UL transmission.
- uplink transmission is scheduled by the eNB, so it may be appropriate from the LTE perspective for the eNB to determine UL transmission.
- a large delay between LBT and UL transmission is undesirable.
- Option 2 where the eNB performs LBT is more sensitive than Option 1 where the UE performs LBT. May be inaccurate.

本実施形態では、UEおよびeNBによって行われる処理の具体例が説明される。本実施形態に係る無線通信システムの構成例は、第1の実施形態に関して説明された図1A、図1B、及び図2と同様である。本実施形態では、UE3は、eNB1から受信した制御情報に基づいてUE3によるUL LBTが必要であるか否かを認識し、UL LBTが必要とされる場合にUL LBTの後に非ライセンス周波数でのUL送信を行い、UL LBTが必要とされない場合にUL LBTを行わずに非ライセンス周波数でのUL送信を行うよう動作する。
・LBTで無線リソースが使用可能と判定した後に許可される最大連続使用時間(maximum occupancy period, maximum channel occupancy time, 又はmaximum transmission duration);
・所定の信号を受信後に許可される連続使用時間(occupancy period, channel occupancy time, 又はtransmission duration);
・Duty cycle情報(e.g., duty cycle [%], observation period [ms], 又はduty cycle type (continuous duty or intermittent duty));及び
・LBT判定情報(e.g., LBT type (e.g., energy detection又はpreamble detection), LBT for LAA only, LBT threshold for LAA, LBT for WLAN only, LBT threshold for WLAN, 又はCCA time)。
本実施形態では、UEおよびeNBによって行われる処理の具体例が説明される。本実施形態に係る無線通信システムの構成例は、第1の実施形態に関して説明された図1A、図1B、及び図2と同様である。本実施形態では、UE3は、eNB1から受信した制御情報に基づいてUE3によるUL LBTが必要であるか否かを認識し、UL LBTが必要とされる場合にUL LBTの後に非ライセンス周波数でのUL送信を行い、UL LBTが必要とされない場合にUL LBTを行わずに非ライセンス周波数でのUL送信を行うよう動作する。
上述の第1~第4の実施形態では、ライセンス周波数と非ライセンス周波数でCAを行うLAA方式によるLTE-Uの例について説明した。本実施形態では、第1~第4の実施形態で説明された技術のDual Connectivity (DC)への応用が説明される。図14は、本実施形態に係る無線通信システムの構成例を示す図である。無線基地局(eNB)6及び7並びに無線端末(UE)8は、Dual Connectivityの機能を有する。Dual Connectivityは、メイン基地局(マスター基地局、Master eNB: MeNB)6とサブ基地局(セカンダリ基地局、Secondary eNB: SeNB)7によって提供される(つまり、管理される)それぞれの無線リソース(つまり、セル又はキャリア)を同時に使用してUE8が通信を行う処理である。図14の例では、MeNB6とSeNB7がX2インターフェースを介して接続され、MeNB6がライセンス周波数F1のCell #1を管理し、SeNB7がライセンス周波数F2のCell #2と非ライセンス周波数F3のCell #3を管理する。MeNB6及びSeNB7は、DCを行わないUEにとっては通常のLTE eNBとして動作し、それぞれCell #1及びCell #2において独立してUEと通信が可能である。
上述の複数の実施形態は、各々独立に実施されてもよいし、適宜組み合わせて実施されてもよい。
