Abstract
A radio unit includes: receiver circuitry which, in operation, receives, from each of a first distributed unit and a second distributed unit that control the radio unit, control information regarding resource allocation for uplink for a terminal; and controller circuitry which, in operation, controls, based on the control information, transfer of a received signal in the uplink to either the first distributed unit or the second distributed unit.
Claims9
A radio unit comprising:
- receiver circuitry configured to receive, from each of a first distributed unit and a second distributed unit that control the radio unit, control information regarding resource allocation for uplink for a terminal;
- decoder circuitry configured to decode, decodes a received signal;
- and
- controller circuitry configured to control, based on the control information, (i) transfer of the received signal to either the first distributed unit or the second distributed unit and (ii) non-transfer of the received signal, the received signal being a signal received from the terminal via the uplink,
- wherein the controller circuitry is further configured to determine, when decoding of the received signal is successful, the distributed unit to which the received signal is to be transferred, and the controller circuitry is further configured to determine, when decoding of the received signal is unsuccessful, that the received signal is not to be transferred,
- wherein the control information includes resource allocation information for the uplink,
- the resource allocation information for the uplink is included in a downlink control signal for the terminal, and
- the control information includes a parameter used for decoding the downlink control signal.

A communication method performed by a radio unit, the communication method comprising:
- receiving, from each of a first distributed unit and a second distributed unit that control the radio unit, control information regarding resource allocation for uplink for a terminal;
- decoding a received signal;
- and
- controlling, based on the control information, (i) transfer of the received signal to either the first distributed unit or the second distributed unit or (ii) non-transfer of the received signal, the received signal being a signal received from the terminal via the uplink,
- wherein the controlling includes:
- determining, when decoding of the received signal is successful, the distributed unit to which the received signal is to be transferred;
- or
- determining, when decoding of the received signal is unsuccessful, that the received signal is not to be transferred,
- wherein the control information includes resource allocation information for the uplink,
- the resource allocation information for the uplink is included in a downlink control signal for the terminal, and
- the control information includes a parameter used for decoding the downlink control signal.
