Figure 1B is a diagram showing an example of a flow of signals in the wireless communication system shown in Figure 1A. Figure 1A, 1B, the radio communication system 100 according to the first embodiment includes a first communication device 110, and the second communication device 120.
[0011]
Examples of the first communication device and the second communication device, base station and terminal in a cellular communication and the like. As another example of the first communication apparatus and second communication apparatus, a first terminal and a second terminal in a direct communication between terminals (Device-to Device Communication) and the like. In the following embodiment, the first communication device 110 is a base station is (hereinafter, referred to as "base station 110".), The second communication device 120 is a terminal (hereinafter, referred to as "terminal 120".) described in the example of a case.
[0012]
In the wireless communication system 100, the wireless communication system 100 using a predetermined bandwidth to be shared with another wireless communication system, transmission of a radio signal from the terminal 120 to the base station 110 is performed. As an example, in a wireless communication system 100, the wireless communication due to LTE and LTE-A are performed.
[0013]
A predetermined band is, for example, unlicensed Dobando (unlicensed band). Unlicensed Dobando, as an example, and the like ISM (Industry-Science-Medical) band (2.4 [GHz] band) and 5 [GHz] band. Other wireless communication systems, as an example WLAN: a wireless communication system (Wireless Local Area Network Wireless Local Area Network). Also, other communication system may be a wireless communication system, such as different LTE and LTE-A and the wireless communication system 100.
[0014]
Base station 110, an allocation unit 111, a receiving unit 112, a first communication device comprising a. Assignment section 111 assigns the first candidate and second candidate of resources used in a given band to a terminal 120. Using the resource is a radio resource used for transmission of radio signals from terminal 120 to base station 110. The first candidate and second candidate of resources used is a respective radio resource included in a predetermined band, a different respective radio resources.
[0015]
Radio resources, for example, a combination of time resources, frequency resources or time and frequency resources. As an example, the radio resource is CC (Component Carrier: component carrier), RB: can be a (Resource Block Resource Block), or sub-frame.
[0016]
Allocation section 111 notifies the allocation result of the first candidate and the second candidate to the terminal 120 to the receiver 112. Further, allocation section 111 notifies the allocation result of the first candidate and the second candidate to the terminal 120 to the terminal 120. For example, allocation section 111, the allocation result of the first candidate and second candidate and notifies the terminal 120 by transmitting control information to the terminal 120.
[0017]
The transmission of control information by the allocation section 111, for example, wireless communication system 100 may use the band occupied. Band wireless communication system 100 is proprietary, as an example is a license Dobando assigned to the operator of the wireless communication system 100. Or it may be used unlicensed Dobando the transmission of control information by the allocation section 111.
[0018]
The control information allocation section 111 sends, as an example, PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel: PDCCH) or E-PDCCH: the use of (Enhanced-Physical Downlink Control Channel extended physical downlink control channel) can.
[0019]
For example, the control information allocation section 111 is transmitted, it can be directly indicated by the information of the first candidate and second candidate assigned to terminal 120. Thus, allocation section 111 can allocate the respective first candidate and second candidate flexibly.
[0020]
Or control information allocation section 111 is transmitted may be information indicating the first candidate, the relationship between the first candidate and the second candidate, the. This allows the allocation unit 111 suppress the increase in the overhead of the control information to be transmitted. Relationship between the first candidate and the second candidate, for example, may be a difference between the first candidate and the second candidate. The difference between the first candidate and the second candidate may be, for example, the difference of time, the frequency of the difference or the respective differences in time and frequency. In this case, the terminal 120 includes a first candidate indicated by the received control information, and the difference indicated by the received control information, the second candidate may be identified based on.
[0021]
Or it may be previously shared between the base station 110 and the terminal 120 the relationship between the first candidate and the second candidate. For example, it the base station 110 the relationship between the first candidate and the second candidate to be shared between that in the base station 110 and the terminal 120 the relationship between the first candidate and the second candidate to be notified to the terminal 120 it can. The notification from the base station 110 of the relationship between the first candidate and the second candidate to the terminal 120, for example RRC: can be used control signals, such as (Radio Resource Control Radio Resource Control) signal.
[0022]
In this case, control information allocation section 111 is sent may be a second candidate indirectly indicate information by indicating the first candidate directly. This allows the allocation unit 111 suppress the increase in the overhead of the control information to be transmitted. Terminal 120, a first candidate showing control information received, the relationship between the first candidate and the second candidate which has been shared between the base station 110, is possible to identify the second candidate on the basis of it can.
[0023]
Receiving unit 112, based on the first candidate and second candidate allocation result notified from allocation section 111 performs reception processing for each radio resource of the first candidate and second candidate assigned to terminal 120. This allows the terminal 120 also transmits radio signals to any of the first candidate and second candidate, receives the signal terminal 120 has transmitted.
[0024]
The receiving unit 112 first performs a receiving process of the first candidate may be performed reception processing of the second candidate only if it can not receive a radio signal from the terminal 120 by the reception processing of the first candidate. Thus, it is possible to perform the receiving process in the receiving unit 112 efficiently. In this case, for example, the receiving unit 112, leave buffering the received signal for the second candidate, if it can not receive a radio signal from the terminal 120 by the reception processing of the first candidate, and buffers It performs reception processing such as decoding for Oita received signal of the second candidate.
[0025]
Or, allocation section 111 may set the radio resource after the second candidate temporally than the first candidate. Thus, the receiving unit 112 also receives signals for the second candidate without first buffering, reception of the second candidate if it can not receive a radio signal from the terminal 120 by the reception processing of the first candidate processing can be performed.
[0026]
The receiving unit 112 is, for example, for the received radio signal, demodulates and decodes based on the encoding method and modulation specified for the terminal 120, upon a successful decoding, the wireless signal from the terminal 120 it can be determined that the received. The decoding in this case, for example, CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check: cyclic redundancy check) or the like can be used.
[0027]
Terminal 120, a detection unit 121, a transmission unit 122, a second communication device comprising a. Detector 121, which is notified from the base station 110, based on the allocation result to the first candidate and the second candidate terminal 120 use resources in a given band, to detect a vacant radio resource. For example, detector 121 may identify the first candidate and second candidate by receiving the control information transmitted from the base station 110.
[0028]
Further, detector 121, for example, detects the space in the first candidate and the second candidate. Or, detector 121 first detects the vacancy of the first candidate may be detecting a free second candidate only if the first candidate is not available. Detector 121 notifies the detection result to the transmitting unit 122.
[0029]
Transmitting unit 122, based on the notified detection result from the detecting unit 121, if the first candidate is free to transmit a radio signal to the base station 110 using the first candidate. Further, the transmission unit 122, if the second candidate not empty first candidate is free to transmit a radio signal to the base station 110 using the second candidate. Further, the transmission unit 122, when the first candidate and second candidate is not available, does not transmit a radio signal, for example to the base station 110.
[0030]
Further, the transmission unit 122, when the first candidate and second candidate is free transmits a radio signal for example using only the first candidate to the base station 110. Or, transmitting unit 122, when the first candidate and second candidate is free may transmit a radio signal to the base station 110 using both the first candidate and the second candidate.
[0031]
Thus, according to the radio communication system 100 can be a base station 110 allocates a plurality of candidate radio resources in a predetermined band shared with other wireless communication system terminal 120. Further, the terminal 120 performs detection of free radio resources, it is possible to transmit uplink signals by radio resource vacant ones of the plurality of candidates assigned by the base station 110. This increases the success rate of transmission of a radio signal from the terminal 120 to the base station 110 in a predetermined band shared with other wireless communication systems, it is possible to improve the throughput.
[0032]

For example, the terminal 120 is not empty first candidate and second candidate, when the third candidate is free to use the third candidate to the base station 110 transmits a radio signal.
[0033]
Figure 1A, in the example shown in FIG. 1B, respectively a first communication device 110 and the second communication device 120 is shown an example of the operation in the case of a base station 110 and terminal 120 in the cellular communication, the first communication device 110 and the second If the communication device 120 of the first terminal and the second terminal in a communication respectively directly between terminals, the information of the radio resources allocated allocation unit 111 by the upper device (not shown) (e.g. a base station in a cellular communication) first notification to the second terminal may have a function of (transfer).
[0034]

In the example shown in FIG. 2, the terminal 120 is just prior to the time domain of the first candidate 221 and the second candidate 222 is performed carrier sense 230 of the entire region of the uplink Unlicensed Dobando.
[0037]
Further, in the example shown in FIG. 2, the terminal 120 as a result of the carrier sense 230, for the first candidate 221 determines that the other system interference 240 is busy (Busy), free for the second candidate 222 (Idle: and it evaluates the idle state). Other system interference 240, the wireless communication system 100 is an interference to the wireless communication system 100 according to the radio signals transmitted from the different wireless communication systems. In this case, the terminal 120 does not transmit the uplink data to the base station 110 by the first candidate 221, and transmits uplink data to the base station 110 by the second candidate 222.
[0038]
Further, as an example different from the example shown in FIG. 2, the terminal 120 determines that vacant for the first candidate 221, if the second candidate 222 determines that busy, the base station 110 by the first candidate 221 to the transmit the uplink data. The terminal 120, when it is determined that vacant for both of the first candidate 221 and the second candidate 222, and transmits uplink data to the base station 110 by the first candidate 221 has a higher priority than the second candidate 222. When it is determined that the busy for both the first candidate 221 and the second candidate 222, the terminal 120 does not transmit the uplink data to the base station 110.
[0039]
In the example shown in FIG. 2, has been described to use the license Dobando the transmission control CH210 from base station 110 to the terminal 120, may be used unlicensed Dobando the transmission control CH210.

(Such processing by the base station in the first embodiment)
FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing by the base station according to the first embodiment. Base station 110 according to the first embodiment executes the steps shown in FIG. 5, for example. First, the base station 110 generates a control CH on the basis of the scheduling result for the terminal 120 (step S501). Control CH generated by step S501 is a control CH to specify the first candidate and second candidate resources used for transmitting the uplink data from terminal 120 to base station 110.
[0071]
Then, the base station 110 transmits the control CH generated in step S501 to the terminal 120 (step S502). Then, the base station 110 performs the receiving process of the first candidate specified by the transmitted control CH in step S502 (step S503). For example, base station 110 attempts to decode the radio signal in the radio resource corresponding to the first candidate. Then, the base station 110 in the reception processing in step S503, decides whether the successfully decoded the uplink data from the terminal 120 in the first candidate (step S504).
[0072]
In step S504, when successfully decoded (step S504: Yes), the base station 110 transmits ACK (acknowledgment) to the terminal 120 (step S505), the flow returns to step S501. If not successfully decoded (Step S504: No), the base station 110 performs the receiving process for the second candidate specified by the transmitted control CH in step S502 (step S506). For example, base station 110 attempts to decode the radio signal in the radio resource corresponding to the second candidate.
[0073]
Then, the base station 110 in the reception processing in step S506, decides whether the successfully decoded the uplink data from the terminal 120 in the second candidate (step S507). If successfully decoded (step S507: Yes), the base station 110 transmits an ACK to the terminal 120 (step S508), the flow returns to step S501. If not successfully decoded (Step S507: No), the base station 110 sends a NACK (negative acknowledgment) to the terminal 120 (step S509), the flow returns to step S501.
[0074]

For example, base station 110, the step S506 may be performed between steps S503 and step S504. It is also a process for omitting the transmission of the NACK by step S505, ACK sent and step S509 in by S508.
[0075]
(Such processing by the terminal in the first embodiment)
FIG 6 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing by the terminal according to the first embodiment. Terminal 120 according to the first embodiment executes the steps shown in FIG. 6, for example. First, the terminal 120 performs reception processing of the control CH from the base station 110 (step S601). Then, the terminal 120 based on the result of the receiving process by the step S601, it is determined whether the detected control CH addressed to its own terminal from the base station 110 (step S602).
[0076]
In step S602, if not detect a control CH addressed to its own terminal (step S602: No), the terminal 120 returns to step S601. When detecting a control CH addressed to its own terminal (step S602: Yes), the terminal 120 detects the availability of channels for each candidate of the use resource control CH addressed to its own terminal is detected is specified (step S603 ).
[0077]
Then, the terminal 120 based on the detection result of the step S603, the first candidate is determined whether empty (step S604). If the first candidate is empty (step S604: Yes), the terminal 120, the first candidate transmit uplink data to the base station 110 (step S605), the flow returns to step S601.
[0078]
In step S604, the case where the first candidate is not empty (step S604: No), the terminal 120, based on the detection result of the step S603, the second candidate to determine whether the empty (step S606). If the second candidate is empty (step S606: Yes), the terminal 120, the second candidate transmit uplink data to the base station 110 (step S607), the flow returns to step S601. If the second candidate is not empty (step S606: No), the terminal 120 returns to step S601 without transmitting the uplink data to the base station 110.
[0079]
(Modification of the process by the base station according to the first embodiment)
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a modification of the processing by the base station according to the first embodiment. Although in Figure 5 it has been described a case where specify two candidates use resources of the uplink (first candidate and second candidate) will be described in a case of specifying the N candidate resources used for the uplink in Figure 7 . N is for example an integer of 3 or more.
[0080]
First, the base station 110 generates a control CH on the basis of the scheduling result for the terminal 120 (step S701). Control CH generated by step S701 is a control CH to specify the first to N candidate resources used for transmitting the uplink data from terminal 120 to base station 110.
[0081]
Then, the base station 110 transmits the control CH generated in step S701 to the terminal 120 (step S702). Then, the base station 110 initializes the n (n = 1) (step S703). n is the index of each candidate using resources specified by the transmitted control CH in step S702 (1 ~ N).
[0082]
Then, the base station 110 performs the receiving process of the n candidate specified by the transmitted control CH in step S702 (step S704). For example, base station 110 attempts to decode the radio signal in the radio resource corresponding to the n candidates. Then, the base station 110 in the reception processing in step S704, decides whether the successfully decoded the uplink data from the terminal 120 at the n-th candidate (step S705).
[0083]
In step S705, the case of successful decoding (Step S705: Yes), the base station 110 transmits an ACK to the terminal 120 (step S706), the flow returns to step S701. If not successfully decoded (Step S705: No), the base station 110, n determines whether less than N (step S707). N is the maximum value of n.
[0084]
In step S707, the n is less than N (step S707: Yes), the base station 110, the n is incremented (n = n + 1) (step S 708), the flow returns to step S704. If n is greater than or equal to N (step S707: No), the base station 110 transmits a NACK to the terminal 120 (step S709), the flow returns to step S701.
[0085]
The base station 110, after collectively performed each receiving process of the first candidate to N-th candidate, in order from the first candidate, also determine whether the successfully decoded the uplink data from the terminal 120 good. It is also a process for omitting the transmission of the NACK by transmitting and step S709 of ACK by step S706.
[0086]
(Modification of the process by the terminal according to the first embodiment)
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a modification of the process by the terminal according to the first embodiment. Although in Figure 6 it has been described a case where specify two candidates use resources of the uplink (first candidate and second candidate) will be described in a case of specifying the N candidate resources used for the uplink in Figure 8 . Step S801 ~ S803 shown in FIG. 8 is the same as step S601 ~ S603 shown in FIG.
[0087]
The next step S803, the terminal 120 initializes the n (n = 1) (step S804). n is the index of each candidate designated by the received control CH in step S801 (1 ~ N). Then, the terminal 120 based on the detection result of the step S803, the n candidate designated judges whether vacant by the received control CH in step S801 (step S805). If the n-th candidate is empty (step S805: Yes), the terminal 120, the n-th candidate and transmits uplink data to the base station 110 (step S806), the flow returns to step S801.
[0088]
In step S805, the case the n candidates is not empty (step S805: No), the terminal 120, n determines whether less than N (step S807). N is the maximum value of n. If n is less than N (step S807: Yes), the terminal 120, the n is incremented (n = n + 1) (step S808), the flow returns to step S805. If n is greater than or equal to N (step S807: No), the terminal 120 without transmitting the uplink data to the base station 110 returns to step S801.
[0089]
Thus, according to the first embodiment, it is possible to base station 110 allocates a plurality of candidate radio resource Unlicensed Dobando the terminal 120. Further, the terminal 120 performs carrier sense on the basis of the allocation result from the base station 110 can transmit an uplink signal by radio resource vacant ones of a plurality of assigned candidates.
[0090]
Thus, in the unlicensed Dobando shared with other wireless communication systems, a radio signal from the terminal 120 by the radio resource by the base station 110 is assigned to the base station 110, it can not be transmitted by interference from other radio communication system the possibility is low.

In the example shown in FIG. 9, the base station 110 sets the four resource three resource first candidate (Resource 1-3) each user 1-3 of (resource 1-4) of Unlicensed Dobando It is set as a common second candidate the remaining resource 4 to the user 1-3.
[0095]
User 1-3, when the first candidate which is respectively set to the own terminal is not empty, sends the uplink data by the second candidate. The user 1-3, when transmitting the uplink data by the second candidate (Resource 4), the back-off process only when the channel resource 4 was empty at the time the back-off time has expired It transmits uplink data.
[0096]
Each back-off time of the user 1-3 is notified is set by the base station 110 to be different each to the user 1-3. Or, each back-off time of the user 1-3, the user 1-3 respectively may be set to the radio terminal based on a random number.

Control CH913 includes information specifying a first candidate from the user 3 uses resource transmission of the uplink data to the base station 110 (resource 3) and the second candidate (resource 4).
[0099]
Time domain resources 1-4, for example, sub-frame SF5 after 4 sub-frame of the sub-frame SF1 to control CH911 ~ 913 has been sent.
[0100]
The user 1, based on the control CH911, in subframe SF4 of the immediately preceding sub-frame SF5, performs carrier sense in a band including the first candidate of using resources (resource 1).

Also, user 2, since it is determined that the busy by the dummy signal 1243 from the user 3 in the back-off period 1224 in the resource 4, no data transmission by the resource 4. Also, user 2, since it is determined that the busy by the dummy signal 1241 from the user 1 in the back-off period 1221 in the resource 1, no data transmission by the resource 1.
[0127]
The user 2 has detected a vacant in backoff period 1222 in the resource 2, it transmits the dummy signal 1242 (User 2 dummy) and user data 1252 (User 2 data) by the resource 2.
[0128]
In the example shown in FIG. 12, the user data 1251 to 1253 are controlled CH911 ~ 913 are transmitted in the subframe SF5 after 4 subframes from a subframe SF1 is sent. Dummy signal 1241-1243 is transmitted in sub-frame SF4 of the immediately preceding subframe SF5.

(Back-off value for each resource set in each terminal)
FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of a back-off value for each resource set in each terminal. Each terminal (user 1-3), for example, back-off value for each resource, as shown in table 1300 of FIG. 13 (1-4) is set. As shown in table 1300, each resource, the backoff value is set different for each terminal. Further, as shown in table 1300, in each terminal, different back-off values for each resource is set.

(Such processing by the base station to the third embodiment)
FIG. 14 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing by the base station according to the third embodiment. Base station 110 according to the third embodiment, performing the steps shown in FIG. 14 for example. 14, the case where communication between the base station 110 and the first to M terminal. M is, for example, an integer of 2 or more. First, the base station 110 sets a backoff value of each resource to each terminal (first to M terminal) (step S1401).
[0131]
Then, the base station 110 generates a control CH on first to M terminal (step S1402). Control CH produced by the step S1402 is a control CH to specify the resource 1-4, for example, as a candidate of the resources used. Then, the base station 110 transmits the control CH generated in step S1402 to the first to the M addressed terminal (step S1403).
[0132]
The back-off value set at step S1401 may be notified to each terminal by the control CH to send eg by step S1403. Or, the back-off value set at step S1401 may be notified to each terminal by a different signal from the control CH to transmit by step S1403.
[0133]
Then, the base station 110 initializes the k (k = 1) (step S1404). k is an index value backoff value can take (for example 1-4). Also, each back-off value and the first back-off value, second K backoff value, and the first back-off value
