Abstract

In a communication system that includes an access point, a repeater #1, and a repeater #2 and wirelessly communicates with a terminal, the access point wirelessly communicates with the repeater #1 on at least a first channel included in a first frequency band and wirelessly communicates with the repeater #2 on at least a second channel included in a second frequency band different than the first frequency band, the repeater #1 wirelessly communicates with the terminal on at least a third channel included in the second frequency band, and the repeater #2 wirelessly communicates with the terminal on at least a fourth channel included in the first frequency band.

Claims (22)

1. A transmitting system for multiple transmission and reception points (TRPs), comprising:

a first transmitter;

a second transmitter; and

a processor configured to:

control the first transmitter and the second transmitter to transmit information to a user terminal, the information indicating whether simultaneous communication is supported;

control the first transmitter to perform a first transmission of a first Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) in a first frequency channel; and

control the second transmitter to perform a second transmission of a second PDSCH in a second frequency channel different from the first frequency channel, wherein

when the information indicates that the simultaneous communication is supported, the processor controls the first transmission to be partially overlapped in a time domain with the second transmission, and

when the information indicates that the simultaneous communication is not supported, the processor controls the first transmission to be non-overlapped in the time domain with the second transmission.

2. The transmitting system according to claim 1 , wherein first information in the first PDSCH is the same as second information in the second PDSCH.

3. The transmitting system according to claim 1 , wherein

when the information indicates that the simultaneous communication is supported, the processor selects whether to control the first transmission of the first PDSCH in the first frequency channel to be fully overlapped in the time domain with the second transmission of the second PDSCH in the second frequency channel or control the first transmission of the first PDSCH in the first frequency channel to be partially overlapped in the time domain with the second transmission of the second PDSCH in the second frequency channel.

4. A user terminal for multiple transmission and reception points (TRPs), comprising:

a receiver configured to receive:

information from a first transmitter and a second transmitter, the information indicating whether simultaneous communication is supported;

a first Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) from the first transmitter in a first frequency channel; and

a second PDSCH from the second transmitter in a second frequency channel different from the first frequency channel; and

a processor configured to control the receiver to receive at least one of the first PDSCH or the second PDSCH according to the information, wherein

when the information indicates that the simultaneous communication is supported, the receiver is further configured to receive the first PDSCH and the second PDSCH that are transmitted while being partially overlapped in a time domain, and

when the information indicates that the simultaneous communication is not supported, the receiver is further configured to receive the first PDSCH and the second PDSCH that are transmitted while being non-overlapped in the time domain.

5. The user terminal according to claim 4 , wherein

when the information indicates that the simultaneous communication is supported, the receiver is further configured to receive the first PDSCH and the second PDSCH that are transmitted while being fully overlapped in the time domain or to receive the first PDSCH and the second PDSCH that are transmitted while being partially overlapped in the time domain.
