Abstract
A radio terminal according to one embodiment comprises: a controller configured to perform a process of: receiving, if the radio terminal is in a specific state different from an RRC connected state, multicast/broadcast data transmitted from a base station; and transmitting feedback information on the multicast/broadcast data to the base station. The controller is configured to autonomously determine a transmission parameter to be used for transmitting the feedback information and transmits the feedback information by using the determined transmission parameter.

A radio terminal comprising:
- a controller configured to perform a process of:
- receiving, if the radio terminal is in a specific state different from an RRC connected state, multicast/broadcast data transmitted from a base station;
- and transmitting feedback information on the multicast/broadcast data to the base station, wherein
- the controller is configured to autonomously determine a transmission parameter to be used for transmitting the feedback information and transmits the feedback information by using the determined transmission parameter, wherein
- the controller is further configured to perform processes of:
- measuring received power of a reference signal received from the base station;
- comparing a value of the measured received power with a first threshold value and a second threshold value;
- autonomously selecting as the transmission parameter, a timing advance value or a time-frequency resource associated with the first and second threshold values, when it is determined that the measured received power falls within a range of the first and second threshold values;
- and
- transmitting the feedback information using the timing advance value or the time-frequency resource selected on the basis of the comparison.
A method for a radio terminal, comprising:
- if the radio terminal is in a specific state different from an RRC connected state,
- receiving, by the radio terminal, multicast/broadcast data transmitted from a base station;
- autonomously determining, by the radio terminal, a transmission parameter to be used for transmitting feedback information on the multicast/broadcast data;
- and
- transmitting, by the radio terminal, the feedback information to the base station by using the determined transmission parameter, wherein
- the autonomously determining includes
- measuring received power of a reference signal received from the base station;
- comparing a value of the measured received power with a first threshold value and a second threshold value;
- and
- autonomously selecting as the transmission parameter, a timing advance value or a time-frequency resource associated with the first and second threshold values, when it is determined that the measured received power falls within a range of the first and second threshold values, and wherein
- the transmitting includes
- transmitting the feedback information using the timing advance value or the time-frequency resource selected on the basis of the comparison.
A system comprising a radio terminal and a base station, wherein
- the radio terminal includes
- a controller configured to perform a process of:
- receiving, if the radio terminal is in a specific state different from an RRC connected state, multicast/broadcast data transmitted from the base station;
- and transmitting feedback information on the multicast/broadcast data to the base station, wherein
- the controller is configured to autonomously determine a transmission parameter to be used for transmitting the feedback information and transmits the feedback information by using the determined transmission parameter, and wherein
- the controller is further configured to perform processes of:
- measuring received power of a reference signal received from the base station;
- comparing a value of the measured received power with a first threshold value and a second threshold value;
- autonomously selecting as the transmission parameter, a timing advance value or a time-frequency resource associated with the first and second threshold values, when it is determined that the measured received power falls within a range of the first and second threshold values;
- and
- transmitting the feedback information using the timing advance value or the time-frequency resource selected on the basis of the comparison.
