Abstract
A terminal includes: a communication unit configured to perform a bidirectional communication including downlink and uplink with a base station by using a frequency division duplex; and a control unit configured to control a communication to be performed by using a time division duplex in a case where there are a terminal that supports the frequency division duplex and a terminal that does not support the frequency division duplex in a same communication area.
Claims7
A terminal comprising:
- a communication unit configured to perform a bidirectional communication including downlink and uplink with a base station by using a frequency division duplex;
- and
- a control unit configured to control a communication to be performed by using a time division duplex in a case where there are a terminal that supports the frequency division duplex and a terminal that does not support the frequency division duplex in a same communication area.
A base station comprising:
- a communication unit configured to perform a bidirectional communication including downlink and uplink with a terminal by using a frequency division duplex;
- and
- a control unit configured to control a communication to be performed with the terminal by using a time division duplex in a case where there are a terminal that supports the frequency division duplex and a terminal that does not support the frequency division duplex in a same communication area.
A communication method performed by a terminal, the communication method comprising:
- performing a bidirectional communication including downlink and uplink with a base station by using a frequency division duplex;
- and
- controlling a communication to be performed by using a time division duplex in a case where there are a terminal that supports the frequency division duplex and a terminal that does not support the frequency division duplex in a same communication area.
