Abstract

User equipment communicates with a first base station apparatus included in a first radio communication system and a second base station apparatus included in a second radio communication system, and includes an interference notification generating part that generates an interference notification including information indicating that an device-internal interference at the user equipment is detected or that resolution of device-internal interference is detected; a sending/receiving part that sends the interference notification to the first base station apparatus or the second base station apparatus, and receives a response to the interference notification from the first base station apparatus or the second base station apparatus; and a switching part that switches an uplink transmission scheme based on the response of the interference notification.

Claims (14)

1. A terminal comprising:

a processor that generates an interference notification which includes information indicating that a first device-internal interference on a downlink interfered carrier used for communication with a first base station is detected, a second device-internal interference on a downlink interfered carrier used for communication with a second base station is detected, a resolution of the first device-internal interference is detected, or a resolution of the second device-internal interference is detected; and

a transmitter that transmits the interference notification to the first base station,

wherein the information includes information indicating a measurement object indicating an interfered carrier in the communication with the first base station and a frequency domain for downlink, and information identifying a frequency corresponding to an interfered carrier in the communication with the second base station.

2. The terminal as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

a receiver that receives a response to the interference notification,

wherein the processor switches an uplink transmission procedure based on the response to the interference notification,

wherein the uplink transmission procedure includes a first transmission procedure that performs transmission to the first base station and the second base station in parallel and a second transmission procedure that performs switching between transmission to the first base station and transmission to the second base station by time division, and

wherein the processor switches between the first transmission procedure and the second transmission procedure.

3. The terminal as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the response to the interference notification includes switching timing between the first transmission procedure and the second transmission procedure by time division.

4. A first base station comprising:

a receiver that receives, from a terminal, an interference notification which includes information indicating that a first device-internal interference on a downlink interfered carrier used for communication with the first base station is detected, a second device-internal interference on a downlink interfered carrier used for communication with a second base station is detected, a resolution of the first device-internal interference is detected, or a resolution of the second device-internal interference is detected; and

a processor that executes an interference suppression control based on the interference notification,

wherein the information includes information indicating a measurement object indicating an interfered carrier in the communication with the first base station and a frequency domain for downlink, and information identifying a frequency corresponding to an interfered carrier in the communication with the second base station.
