Abstract

To provide a technique for suppressing interference caused by inter-modulation distortion in dual connectivity between a plurality of radio communication systems using different RATs. An aspect of the present invention relates to user equipment including an interference indication generator that generates an interference indication including interfered carrier information that indicates a serving carrier that receives intra-device interference; and a transmitter-receiver that transmits the interference indication to a base station.

Claims (19)

1. A terminal comprising:

a processor that generates an interference indication including interfered carrier information indicating a serving carrier that receives intra-device interference, in dual connectivity between a first radio communication system and a second radio communication system; and

a transmitter that transmits the interference indication to a base station,

wherein the first radio communication system is a New Radio (NR) system, and the second radio communication system is a Long Term Evaluation (LTE) system.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitter transmits the interference indication to a master base station in the dual connectivity.

3. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitter transmits, to a master base station, the interference indication indicating interfered carrier information on a radio communication system of a master base station in the dual connectivity and interfered carrier information on a radio communication system of a secondary base station.

4. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein, by including, in a first interference indication indicating interfered carrier information on a radio communication system of one base station in the dual connectivity, a second interference indication indicating interfered carrier information on a radio communication system of the other base station in the dual connectivity, the transmitter transmits, to the one base station, the first interference indication of the one base station and the second interference indication of the other base station.

5. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitter transmits the interference indication to a base station that provides an interfered serving carrier or an interfering serving carrier.

6. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the interfered carrier information includes cell identification information of an interfered serving carrier.

7. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the interfered carrier information includes cell identification information of an interfered serving carrier.

8. The terminal according to claim 3 , wherein the interfered carrier information includes cell identification information of an interfered serving carrier.

9. The terminal according to claim 4 , wherein the interfered carrier information includes cell identification information of an interfered serving carrier.

10. The terminal according to claim 5 , wherein the interfered carrier information includes cell identification information of an interfered serving carrier.

11. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the interference indication further includes information indicating a system that causes the interference.

12. The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the interference indication further includes information indicating a system that causes the interference.

13. The terminal according to claim 3 , wherein the interference indication further includes information indicating a system that causes the interference.

14. The terminal according to claim 4 , wherein the interference indication further includes information indicating a system that causes the interference.

15. The terminal according to claim 5 , wherein the interference indication further includes information indicating a system that causes the interference.

16. The terminal according to claim 6 , wherein the interference indication further includes information indicating a system that causes the interference.
