Abstract

A wireless communication system, comprising a category designation unit capable of designating a terminal category using at least a transmitting frequency bandwidth and receiving frequency bandwidth available between the system and a wireless terminal device.

Claims (17)

1. A method in which at least one of a first frequency bandwidth for use in an uplink and a second frequency bandwidth for use in a downlink is variable in a wireless communication system corresponding to a wireless terminal device, the method comprising:

designating, by the wireless terminal device, a terminal category using at least one of a transmitting frequency bandwidth and receiving frequency bandwidth as a terminal capability between a wireless base station and the wireless terminal device;

setting, by the wireless terminal device, a link between the wireless base station and the wireless terminal device based on the terminal category; and

generating, by the wireless terminal device, a control signal using both one of a downlink frequency indicating a downlink frequency band and an uplink frequency indicating an uplink frequency band determined by the link setting unit determining the link setting respectively, and another frequency represented by a frequency difference between the downlink frequency and the uplink frequency, and transmitting the control signal to the wireless terminal device, thereby informing of the downlink frequency and the uplink frequency.

2. A method in which at least one of a first frequency bandwidth for use in an uplink and a second frequency bandwidth for use in a downlink is variable in a wireless terminal device, the method comprising:

generating, by the wireless terminal device, a control signal using at least a transmitting frequency bandwidth and receiving frequency bandwidth as a terminal capability;

receiving, by the wireless terminal device, from a wireless base station which communicates with the wireless terminal device a control signal generated and transmitted using both one of a downlink frequency indicating a downlink frequency band and an uplink frequency indicating an uplink frequency band determined by the wireless base station respectively, and another frequency represented by a frequency difference between the downlink frequency and the uplink frequency; and

designating, by the wireless terminal device, the uplink frequency and the downlink frequency on the basis of the control signal received by the control signal reception unit, and setting, by the wireless terminal device, the wireless terminal device.

3. A method in which at least one of a first frequency bandwidth for use in an uplink and a second frequency bandwidth for use in a downlink is variable in a wireless base station, the method comprising:

receiving, by the wireless base station, a control signal using at least a transmitting frequency bandwidth and receiving frequency bandwidth as a terminal capability from a terminal;

designating, by the wireless base station, a terminal category using the control signal;

setting, by the wireless base station, a link to a wireless terminal device based on the terminal category; and

generating, by the wireless base station, a control signal using both one of a downlink frequency indicating a downlink frequency band and an uplink frequency indicating an uplink frequency band determined by the link setting unit determining the link setting respectively, and another frequency represented by a frequency difference between the downlink frequency and the uplink frequency, and transmitting the control signal to the wireless terminal device, thereby informing of the downlink frequency and the uplink frequency.

4. A method in a wireless communication system, the method comprising

designating, by a wireless terminal device, a terminal category for each wireless terminal device of a plurality of wireless terminal devices based on at least one of a transmitting frequency bandwidth and a receiving frequency bandwidth as a terminal capability of each wireless terminal device; and

transmitting, by the wireless terminal device, the terminal category information indicating the terminal category of each wireless terminal device; and

receiving, by a wireless base station, the terminal category information from one or more wireless terminal devices.
