Abstract
[Object] To further reduce a burden of scheduling in non-orthogonal multiple access. [Solution] Provided is an apparatus including: a selection unit configured to select a frequency band to which non-orthogonal multiple access is applied and at least one layer among a plurality of layers that are to be multiplexed in the frequency band for the non-orthogonal multiple access, as a band and a layer to be used for transmission to a terminal device; and a notification unit configured to notify the terminal device of the frequency band and the at least one layer.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a selection unit configured to select a frequency band to which non-orthogonal multiple access is applied and at least one layer among a plurality of layers that are to be multiplexed in the frequency band for the non-orthogonal multiple access, as a band and a layer to be used for transmission to a terminal device;
- and
- a notification unit configured to notify the terminal device of the frequency band and the at least one layer.
A method that is performed by a processor, the method comprising:
- selecting a frequency band to which non-orthogonal multiple access is applied and at least one layer among a plurality of layers that are to be multiplexed in the frequency band for the non-orthogonal multiple access, as a band and a layer to be used for transmission to a terminal device;
- and
- notifying the terminal device of the frequency band and the at least one layer.
An apparatus comprising:
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire band information indicating a frequency band that is a frequency band to which non-orthogonal multiple access is applied and selected as a band to be used for transmission to a terminal device, and layer information indicating at least one layer which is at least one layer among a plurality of layers that are to be multiplexed in the frequency band for the non-orthogonal multiple access and selected as a layer to be used for transmission to the terminal device;
- and
- a reception processing unit configured to decode a signal to be transmitted on the at least one layer in the frequency band.
