BACKGROUND ART

In LTE (Long Term Evolution), a mobile station UE capable of interpreting “CA band combination” is configured to transmit an information element “interFreqNeedForGaps” as “UE Capability” to a radio base station eNB, the “interFreqNeedForGaps” indicating whether or not the mobile station UE is capable of performing an Inter-frequency measurement without a gap for each “CA band combination”.

For example, when “true” is set in the information element “interFreqNeedForGaps” transmitted by the mobile station UE, and when, in CA (Carrier Aggregation) performed using a frequency band #1 of a 2 GHz band and a frequency band #21 of a 1.5 GHz band, a carrier belonging to the frequency band #1 (or the frequency band #21) is set as a PCC (Primary Component Carrier), the mobile station UE is capable of performing a measurement in the carrier belonging to the frequency band #21 (or the frequency band #1) without a gap.

MODES FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Mobile Communication System According to First Embodiment of the Invention

A mobile communication system according to a first embodiment of the invention is described by referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 5. In the embodiment, an LTE mobile communication system is described as an example of a mobile communication system according to the embodiment. However, the invention is also applicable to a mobile communication system other than the LTE.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, in the mobile communication system according to the embodiment, a radio base station eNB manages a cell in which a carrier belonging to a frequency band of an 800 MHz band is used, a cell in which a carrier belonging to a frequency band of a 1.5 GHz band is used, and a cell in which a carrier belonging to a frequency band of a 2 GHz band is used.

In addition, the mobile station UE and the radio base station eNB are configured to be capable of performing CA using the frequency band of the 800 MHz band, the frequency band of the 1.5 GHz band, and the frequency band of the 2 GHz band.

In other words, the mobile station UE and the radio base station eNB are configured to be capable of performing the CA using the carrier belonging to the frequency band of the 800 MHz band, the carrier belonging to the frequency band of the 1.5 GHz band, and the carrier belonging to the frequency band of the 2 GHz band.

As illustrated in FIG. 2, the mobile station UE includes a transmission unit 11, a reception unit 12, and a CA control unit 13.

The transmission unit 11 is configured to transmit various kinds of signals to the radio base station eNB. The reception unit 12 is configured to receive various kinds of signals from the radio base station eNB.

For example, the transmission unit 11 is configured to transmit “UE Capability” indicating a capability of the mobile station UE to the radio base station eNB.

Here, the transmission unit 11 is configured to notify as the “UE Capability”, frequency bands in which an inter-frequency measurement is performable without a gap, for each combination of two frequency bands by “CA band combination”.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the transmission unit 11 may be configured to notify a frequency band, in which the inter-frequency measurement is performable without a gap, for each combination of the two frequency bands to be used in CA by information elements “FreqBandIndicator” and “FreqBandIndicator-v9e0” in an information element “BandInforEUTRA-r12” in an information element “BandCombinationListEUTRA-r12” in an information element “MeasParameters-v12xy” which is transmitted by the “UE Capability”.

For example, in a case illustrated in FIG. 7, the transmission unit 11 may be configured to notify a frequency band of an 800 MHz band and a frequency band of a 3.5 GHz band as a frequency band in which the inter-frequency measurement is performable without a gap, by the information element “FreqBandindicator” (and “FreqBandIndicator-v9e0”) in the “CA band combination” which corresponds to the combination of the frequency band of the 2 GHz band and the frequency band of the 1.5 GHz band.

In addition, the CA control unit 13 is configured to control the CA performed by the mobile station UE.

As illustrated in FIG. 5, the radio base station eNB includes a reception unit 21, a transmission unit 22, and a CA control unit 23.

The reception unit 21 is configured to receive various kinds of signals from the mobile station UE. The transmission unit 22 is configured to transmit various kinds of signals to the mobile station UE.

For example, the reception unit 21 is configured to receive “UE Capability” indicating a capability of the mobile station UE from the mobile station UE.

Here, the reception unit 21 is configured to receive information elements “FreqBandIndicator” and “FreqBandIndicator-v9e0” as the “UE Capability”, which indicate frequency bands in which the inter-frequency measurement is performable without a gap, for each “CA band combination”.

In addition, the CA control unit 23 is configured to control the CA of the mobile station UE.

Specifically, the CA control unit 23 is configured to determine based on the information elements “FreqBandIndicator” and “FreqBandIndicator-v9e0” which are received by the reception unit 21 whether or not the mobile station UE is capable of performing the inter-frequency measurement without a gap in the CA performed using three or more frequency bands.

For example, the CA control unit 23 may be configured to determine that the mobile station UE is capable of performing the inter-frequency measurement without a gap in the CA performed using the frequency band of the 2 GHz band, the frequency band of the 1.5 GHz band, and the frequency band of the 800 MHz band, when the information element “FreqBandIndicator” (and “FreqBandIndicator-v9e0”) in the “CA band combination” corresponding to the combination of the frequency band of the 2 GHz band and the frequency band of the 1.5 GHz band notifies the frequency band of the 800 MHz band and the frequency band of the 3.5 GHz band as the frequency bands in which the inter-frequency measurement is performable without a gap.

In other words, the CA control unit 23 may be configured to determine that the mobile station UE is capable of performing the inter-frequency measurement without a gap in the CA performed using the three or more frequency bands, in a case where the CA is performed using three or more frequency bands when the information element “FreqBandIndicator” (and “FreqBandIndicator-v9e0”) for the combination of two of the three or more frequency bands notifies all the rest of the three or more frequency bands as the frequency bands in which the inter-frequency measurement is performable without a gap.

On the other hand, the CA control unit 23 may be configured to determine that the mobile station UE is incapable of performing the inter-frequency measurement without a gap in the CA performed using the frequency band of the 2 GHz band, the frequency band of the 1.5 GHz band, and the frequency band of the 800 MHz band, when the information element “FreqBandIndicator” (and “FreqBandIndicator-v9e0”) in the “CA band combination” corresponding to the combination of the frequency band of the 2 GHz band and the frequency band of the 1.5 GHz band does not notify the frequency band of the 800 MHz band as the frequency band in which the inter-frequency measurement is performable without a gap.

Note that, the CA control unit 23 is configured to determine a method of measurement processing performed by the mobile station UE based on the above-described determination result. The transmission unit 21 is configured to notify the mobile station UE of the determination result.

The foregoing features of the present embodiment may be expressed as follows.

In summary, a first feature of the present embodiment is a mobile station UE comprising: a transmission unit 11 configured to transmit “UE Capability (capability information)” indicating a capability of the mobile station UE to a radio base station eNB, wherein the transmission unit 11 notifies a frequency band in which the mobile station UE is capable of performing an inter-frequency measurement without a gap for each “CA band combination (combination of two frequency bands)” as the “UE Capability”.

In summary, a second feature of the present embodiment is a radio base station eNB comprising: a CA control unit 23 configured to control CA of a mobile station UE; and a reception unit configured to receive information elements “FreqBandIndicator” and “FreqBandIndicator-v9e0” as “UE Capability” from the mobile station UE, the information elements indicating a frequency band in which the mobile station UE is capable of performing an inter-frequency measurement without a gap for each “CA band combination”, wherein the CA control unit 23 determines, based on the information elements “FreqBandIndicator” and “FreqBandIndicator-v9e0”, whether or not the mobile station UE is capable of performing an inter-frequency measurement without a gap in CA performed using three or more frequency bands.

According to the above-described features, based on the information elements “FreqBandIndicator” and “FreqBandIndicator-v9e0” which are notified by the mobile station UE, the radio base station eNB is capable of properly determining whether or not the mobile station UE is capable of performing the inter-frequency measurement without a gap in the CA performed using three or more frequency bands.

Mobile Communication System According to Second Embodiment

Hereinafter, a mobile communication system according to a second embodiment of the invention is described by paying attention to differences with the mobile communication system according to the first embodiment.

A transmission unit 11 of a mobile station UE is configured to transmit an information element “InterFreqBandInfo (interFreqNeedForGaps)” as “UE Capability”, which indicates whether or not an inter-frequency measurement is performable without a gap for each “CA band combination”.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the transmission unit 11 may be configured to notify whether or not an inter-frequency measurement is performable without a gap for each combination of two frequency bands which is used in CA by an information element “InterFreqBandInfo (interFreqNeedForGaps)” in an information element “InterFreqBandList” in an information element “BandInforEUTRA” in an information element “BandCombinationListEUTRA-r10” which is transmitted by the “UE Capability”.

A CA control unit 23 of a radio base station eNB is configured to determine that the mobile station UE is capable of performing the inter-frequency measurement without a gap in CA performed using the three or more frequency bands, when the information element “InterFreqBandInfo (interFreqNeedForGaps)” indicates that the inter-frequency measurement is performable without a gap in all the combinations of the two frequency bands among three or more frequency bands.

For example, the CA control unit 23 of the radio base station eNB is configured such that in a case where CA is performed using a frequency band of a 2 GHz band, a frequency band of a 1.5 GHz band, and a frequency band of an 800 MHz band, when an information element “InterFreqBandinfo (InterFreqNeedForGaps)” indicates that an inter-frequency measurement is performable without a gap in all combinations of two frequency bands among three or more frequency bands, in other words, all of the combinations such as the combination of the frequency band of the 2 GHz band and the frequency band of the 1.5 GHz band, the combination of the frequency band of the 2 GHz band and the frequency band of the 800 MHz band, and the combination of the frequency band of the 1.5 GHz band and the frequency band of the 800 MHz band, the CA control unit 23 of the radio base station eNB determines that the mobile station UE is capable of performing the inter-frequency measurement without a gap in CA performed using the three or more frequency bands (CA performed using the frequency band of the 2 GHz band, the frequency band of the 1.5 GHz band, and the frequency band of the 800 MHz band).

On the other hand, the CA control unit 23 of the radio base station eNB is configured such that in a case where CA is performed using the frequency band of the 2 GHz band, the frequency band of the 1.5 GHz band, and the frequency band of the 800 MHz band, when an information element “InterFreqBandInfo (interFreqNeedForGaps)” indicates that an inter-frequency measurement is not performable in at least one combination of the frequency bands among the three or more frequency bands, in other words, at least one of the combination of the frequency band of the 2 GHz band and the frequency band of the 1.5 GHz band, the combination of the frequency band of the 2 GHz band and the 800 MHz band, and the combination of the frequency band of the 1.5 GHz band and the frequency band of the 800 MHz band, the CA control unit 23 of the radio base station eNB determines that the mobile station UE is incapable of performing the inter-frequency measurement without a gap in CA performed using the three or more frequency bands (CA performed using the frequency band of the 2 GHz band, the frequency band of the 1.5 GHz band, and the frequency band of the 800 MHz band).

Note that, the CA control unit 23 may be configured such that when the information element “InterFreqBandInfo (interFreqNeedForGaps)” indicates that the inter-frequency measurement is performable without a gap in all the combinations of the frequency band including PCC and the frequency band including SCC among the three or more frequency bands, the CA control unit 23 determines that the mobile station UE is capable of performing the inter-frequency measurement without a gap in CA performed using the three or more frequency bands.

For example, the CA control unit 23 of the radio base station eNB may be configured such that if it is assumed that PCC belongs to the frequency band of the 2 GHz band in a case where CA is performed using the frequency band of the 2 GHz band, the frequency band of the 1.5 GHz band, and the frequency band of the 800 MHz band, when the information element “InterFreqBandInfo (interFreqNeedForGaps)” indicates that the inter-frequency measurement is performable without a gap in all the combinations of the frequency band including PCC and the frequency band including SCC among the three or more frequency bands, in other words, in all of the combination of the frequency band of the 2 GHz band and the frequency band of the 1.5 GHz band and the combination of the frequency band of the 2 GHz band and the frequency band of the 800 MHz band, the CA control unit 23 of the radio base station eNB determines that the mobile station UE is capable of performing the inter-frequency measurement without a gap in CA performed using the three or more frequency bands (CA performed using the frequency band of the 2 GHz band, the frequency band of the 1.5 GHz band, and the frequency band of the 800 MHz band).

In other words, the CA control unit 23 of the radio base station eNB may be configured such that, in such a case, even when the information element “InterFreqBandInfo (interFreqNeedForGaps)” indicates that the inter-frequency measurement is not performable without a gap in the combination of the frequency band of the 1.5 GHz band and the frequency band of the 800 MHz band, the CA control unit 23 of the radio base station eNB determines that the mobile station UE is capable of performing the inter-frequency measurement without a gap in CA performed using the three or more frequency bands (CA performed using the frequency band of the 2 GHz band, the frequency band of the 1.5 GHz band, and the frequency band of the 800 MHz band).

On the other hand, the CA control unit 23 of the radio base station eNB may be configured such that if it is assumed that PCC belongs to the frequency band of the 2 GHz band in a case where CA is performed using the frequency band of the 2 GHz band, the frequency band of the 1.5 GHz band, and the frequency band of the 800 MHz band, when the information element “InterFreqBandInfo (interFreqNeedForGaps)” indicates that the inter-frequency measurement is not performable in at least one combination of the frequency band including PCC and the frequency band including SCC among the three or more frequency bands, in other words, in at least one of the combination of the frequency band of the 2 GHz band and the frequency band of the 1.5 GHz band and the combination of the frequency band of the 2 GHz band and the 800 MHz band, the CA control unit 23 of the radio base station eNB determines that the mobile station UE is incapable of performing the inter-frequency measurement without a gap in CA performed using the three or more frequency bands (CA performed using the frequency band of the 2 GHz band, the frequency band of the 1.5 GHz band, and the frequency band of the 800 MHz band).

The foregoing features of the present embodiment may be expressed as follows.

In summary, a first feature of the present embodiment is a radio base station eNB comprising: a CA control unit 23 configured to control CA of a mobile station UE; and a reception unit 21 configured to receive an information element “InterFreqBandInfo (interFreqNeedForGaps)” as “UE Capability” from the mobile station UE, the information element indicating whether or not the mobile station is capable of performing an inter-frequency measurement without a gap for each “CA band combination”, wherein when the information element “InterFreqBandInfo (interFreqNeedForGaps)” indicates that an inter-frequency measurement is performable without a gap in all combinations of two frequency bands among three or more frequency bands, the CA control unit 23 determines that the mobile station UE is capable of performing an inter-frequency measurement without a gap in CA performed using the three or more frequency bands.

According to the feature, the radio base station eNB may properly determine whether or not the mobile station UE is capable of performing the inter-frequency measurement without a gap by utilizing the existing signaling in CA performed using the three or more frequency bands.

In summary, a second feature of the present embodiment is a radio base station eNB comprising: a carrier aggregation control unit 23 configured to control CA of a mobile station UE; and a reception unit 21 configured to receive an information element “InterFreqBandInfo (interFreqNeedForGaps)” as “UE Capability” from the mobile station UE, the information element indicating whether or not the mobile station is capable of performing an inter-frequency measurement without a gap for each “CA band combination”, wherein when the information element “InterFreqBandInfo (interFreqNeedForGaps)” indicates that the mobile station is capable of performing an inter-frequency measurement without a gap in all combinations of a frequency band including a PCC and a frequency band including an SCC among three or more frequency bands, the CA control unit 23 determines that the mobile station UE is capable of performing an inter-frequency measurement without a gap in CA performed using the three or more frequency bands.

According to the feature, in CA performed using the three or more frequency bands, the radio base station eNB may properly determine whether or not the mobile station UE is capable of performing the inter-frequency measurement without a gap by utilizing the existing signaling and considering the CA characteristics.
