Abstract

An apparatus including: a communication unit configured to perform radio communication; and a control unit configured to perform control such that control information regarding a filter length of a filter for limiting a width of a guard band in a frequency band to be used in the radio communication is transmitted to an external apparatus through the radio communication. The filter length is determined in accordance with at least one of a frequency resource and a time resource for the radio communication. The apparatus enables a filter improving frequency use efficiency.

Claims (47)

1. An apparatus comprising:

a circuitry configured to

perform radio communication;

control such that information for determining a width of a guard band in a frequency band to be used in the radio communication is transmitted,

wherein the width is determined based on a corresponding configuration of resource blocks and a subcarrier spacing for the radio communication,

wherein the information for determining the width of the guard band is transmitted as part of radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the information for determining the width of the guard band is information related to a plurality of candidates for setting or determining the width of the guard band.

3. The apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the processor circuit changes the width on a basis of a predetermined condition.

4. The apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the guard band is limited by a filter in a frequency band to be used in the radio communication.

5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the width is further determined based on a time resource for the radio communication.

6. The apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor circuit determines the width of the guard band from a plurality of preset candidates on the basis of a predetermined condition, or

wherein the processor circuit switches the width after receiving a request for switching of the width, or

wherein the processor circuit switches the width in accordance with at least one of a predetermined timing or a re-transmission timing.

7. An apparatus comprising:

a circuitry configured to

perform radio communication; and

acquire information for determining a width of a guard band in a frequency band to be used in the radio communication,

wherein the width is determined based on a corresponding configuration of resource blocks and a subcarrier spacing for the radio communication,

wherein the information for determining the width of the guard band is transmitted as part of radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

8. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the information for determining the width of the guard band is information related to a plurality of candidates for setting or determining the width of the guard band.

9. The apparatus according to claim 8 ,

wherein the circuitry further configured to perform control such that a request for switching of the width is transmitted through the radio communication in accordance with a predetermined condition.

10. The apparatus according to claim 9 ,

wherein the circuitry further configured to perform control such that the request is transmitted through the radio communication in accordance with a quality of the radio communication or a decoding result of data received through the radio communication.

11. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the guard band is limited by a filter in a frequency band to be used in the radio communication.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the width is further determined based on a time resource for the radio communication.

13. A method comprising:

performing radio communication; and

performing control, by a processor, such that information for determining a width of a guard band in a frequency band to be used in the radio communication is transmitted,

wherein the width is determined based on a corresponding configuration of resource blocks and a subcarrier spacing for the radio communication, and

wherein the information for determining the width of the guard band is transmitted as part of radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

14. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the information for determining the width of the guard band is information related to a plurality of candidates for setting or determining the width of the guard hand.

15. The method according to claim 14 , further comprising:

changing the width on a basis of a predetermined condition.

16. The method according to claim 15 , wherein the width is further determined based on a time resource for the radio communication.

17. A method comprising:

performing radio communication; and

acquiring, by a processor, information for determining a width of a guard band in a frequency band to be used in the radio communication,

wherein the width is determined based on a corresponding configuration of resource blocks and a subcarrier spacing for the radio communication, and

wherein the information for determining the width of the guard band is transmitted as part of radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

18. The method according to claim 17 , further comprising:

controlling such that a request for switching of the width is transmitted through the radio communication in accordance with a predetermined condition.

19. The method according to claim 18 , further comprising:

performing control such that the request is transmitted through the radio communication in accordance with a decoding result of data received through the radio communication.

20. The method according to claim 18 , wherein the guard band is limited by a filter in a frequency band to be used in the radio communication.

21. The method of claim 20 , wherein the width is further determined based on a time resource for the radio communication.
