Communication device
First Claim
1. A base station, comprising:
- a transmitter configured to transmit first information to a plurality of user devices, via a communication scheme in which communication is performed without synchronization between devices;
a receiver configured to receive second information as a response to reception of the first information from the plurality of user devices via the communication scheme; and
a controller, whereinthe transmitter is configured to transmit, to each of the plurality of user devices, transmission timing information for each of the plurality of user devices to designate a transmission timing of the second information,the transmitter is configured to transmit, as the transmission timing information, dedicated information determined by the base station in accordance with a propagation delay between the base station and each user device,the propagation delay for each user device is a difference between a transmission timing of a radio signal by that user device and a reception timing of the radio signal by the base station, andthe controller is configured to adjust a time length of the first information based on the propagation delay for each user device.

Abstract
A communication device according to embodiment comprises a transmitter configured to transmit first information to a plurality of other communication devices, via a communication scheme in which communication is performed without synchronization between devices; and a receiver configured to receive second information as a response to reception of the first information from the plurality of other communication devices via the communication scheme. The transmitter is configured to transmit, to each communication device of the plurality of other communication devices, transmission timing information for each communication device of the plurality of other communication devices to designate a transmission timing of the second information.

13. A base station, comprising:
-
a controller configured to classify a plurality of user devices being a reception target for receiving first information via a communication scheme in which communication is performed without synchronization between devices, into a plurality of groups; a transmitter configured to simultaneously transmit the first information to each of a plurality of user devices constituting a same group among the plurality of user devices, via the communication scheme; and a receiver configured to receive second information as a response to reception of the first information from each of the plurality of user devices, via the communication scheme, wherein the controller is configured to classify the plurality of user devices into the plurality of groups based on a propagation delay between the base station and each of the plurality of user devices, the propagation delay for each user device is a difference between a transmission timing of a radio signal by that user device and a reception timing of the radio signal by the base station, and the controller is configured to classify, among the plurality of user devices, each of the plurality of user devices having a propagation delay included in a predetermined range, into a same group.
