The present disclosure relates to a device and a method.
In the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), various technologies for improving system throughput have been discussed. It may be said that a first shortcut for improving the system throughput is increasing a frequency to be used. In the 3GPP, the technology of carrier aggregation (CA) has been considered in Release 10 and Release 11. CA is a technology for improving the system throughput and a maximum data rate by aggregating component carriers (CCs) having a bandwidth of 20 MHz for use. A frequency band available as a CC must adopt the technology of such CA. Thus, a frequency band available for wireless communication of a cellular system is required.
For example, in Patent Literature 1 technology which enables a registered frequency band available for a registered provider and an unlicensed band available when a predetermined condition is satisfied to be used in addition to a dedicated frequency band allocated to each provider for exclusive use is disclosed.
FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a frame format of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11.
FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a frame format of long-term evolution (LTE).
FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a schematic configuration of a cellular system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail and with reference to the attached drawings. Note that, in this specification and the appended drawings, structural elements that have substantially the same function and structure are denoted with the same reference numerals, and repeated explanation of these structural elements is omitted.
Also, the description will be given in the following order.
