Abstract

Provided is a wireless communication system provided with a base station and a plurality of terminals and operated by a licensed band, wherein the base station allocates, to the plurality of terminals, a radio resource for transmission that allows overlapping between the plurality of terminals, and all or some of the plurality of terminals execute listen before talk (LBT) and then perform transmission using the allocated radio resource.

Claims (23)

1 . A wireless communication system provided with a base station and a plurality of terminals and operated by a licensed band, wherein

the base station includes:

a first processor; and

a first memory that includes instructions, which when executed, cause the first processor to:

allocate, to the plurality of terminals, a radio resource for transmission that allows overlapping between the plurality of terminals, and wherein

each of the plurality of terminals includes:

a second processor; and

a second memory that includes instructions, which when executed, cause the second processor in all or some of the plurality of terminals to:

execute listen before talk (LBT) and then perform transmission using the allocated radio resource.

2 . The wireless communication system according to claim 1 ,

wherein,

among the plurality of terminals, the second processor in a terminal having an LBT function is caused to execute LBT and then perform the transmission using the allocated radio resource, and the second processor in a terminal not having the LBT function is caused to perform the transmission using the allocated radio resource without executing the LBT.

3 . A terminal in a wireless communication system provided with a base station and a plurality of terminals and operated by a licensed band, the terminal comprising:

a processor; and

a memory that includes instructions, which when executed, cause the processor to:

receive, from the base station, a message that allocates a radio resource for transmission that allows overlapping of a radio resource allocated to other terminals; and

perform transmission using the allocated radio resource after execution of listen before talk (LBT) by the reception unit.

4 . The terminal according to claim 3 , wherein,

in a case of receiving an instruction to perform the transmission after the execution of LBT from the base station, the processor is caused to perform the transmission after the execution of LBT.

5 . The terminal according to claim 3 , wherein

the processor is caused to perform transmission in uplink communication or transmission in inter-terminal communication.

6 . A communication method in a wireless communication system provided with a base station and a plurality of terminals and operated by a licensed band, wherein the base station allocates, to the plurality of terminals, a radio resource for transmission that allows overlapping between the plurality of terminals, and

all or some of the plurality of terminals execute listen before talk (LBT) and then perform transmission using the allocated radio resource.
