Abstract

A radio communication system including a first terminal apparatus group for performing a reception by using a first radio resource and a transmission by using a second radio resource; and a second terminal apparatus group for performing the reception by using the second radio resource and the transmission by using the first radio resource, for performing a direct radio communication. The system includes a first terminal which belongs to the first terminal apparatus group and transmits allocation request of transmission band in the second radio resource by using the second radio resource; and a second terminal which belongs to the second terminal apparatus group, receives the allocation request transmitted from the first terminal, and transmits information indicating allocation of the transmission band for the first terminal, wherein the first terminal transmits data by using the allocated transmission band in the second radio resource.

Claims

1. A radio communication system including a first terminal apparatus group for performing a reception by using a first radio resource and a transmission by using a second radio resource;

and a second terminal apparatus group for performing the reception by using the second radio resource and the transmission by using the first radio resource, for performing a radio communication between terminals belonging to the first and second terminal apparatus groups, the radio communication system comprising;

a first terminal that belongs to the first terminal apparatus group and transmits allocation request of transmission band in the second radio resource by using the second radio resource;

a second terminal that belongs to the second terminal apparatus group, receives the allocation request transmitted from the first terminal by using the second radio resource, and transmits a first signal by using the first radio resource, the first signal being generated in the case of the first radio resource allocating the transmission band for the first terminal;

a third terminal that belongs to the second terminal apparatus group and transmits allocation request of transmission band in the first radio resource by using the first radio resource; and

a fourth terminal that belongs to the first terminal apparatus group, receives the allocation request transmitted from the third terminal by using the first radio resource, and transmits a second signal by using the second radio resource, the second signal being generated in case of the second radio resource allocating the transmission band for the third terminal, wherein

the first terminal transmits data by using the allocated transmission band in the second radio resource in accordance with receiving the first signal,

the third terminal apparatus transmits data by using the allocated transmission band in the first radio resource in accordance with receiving the second signal, and

the fourth terminal allocates an unused portion of the transmission band of the transmission band to the third terminal, and transmits the allocated transmission band as the second signal.

2. The radio communication system according to claim 1, wherein the second terminal allocates an unused portion of the transmission band in the second radio resource to the first terminal apparatus, and transmits the allocated transmission band as the first signal.

3. The radio communication system according to claim 1, wherein the first and second radio resources are radio resources which are used in the different time periods.

4. The radio communication system according to claim 1, the first and second terminals are radio connected with each other by OFDMA system, TDMA system, or FMDA system.

5. The radio communication system according to claim 1, the first and second terminals transmit and receive the allocation request, the first signal, and the data by TDD system or FDD system.

6. A radio communication method in a radio communication system including a first terminal apparatus group for performing reception by using a first radio resource and transmission by using a second radio resource;

and a second terminal apparatus group for performing reception by using the second radio resource and transmission by using the first radio resource, for performing a radio communication between terminals belonging to the first and second terminal apparatus groups, the radio communication method comprising;

transmitting allocation request of transmission band in the second radio resource by using the second radio resource, by a first terminal belonging to the first terminal apparatus group;

receiving the allocation request transmitted from the first terminal, and transmitting a first signal by using the first radio resource, the first signal being generated in case of the first radio resource allocating the transmission band for the first terminal, by a second terminal belonging to the second terminal apparatus group;

transmitting, by a third terminal that belongs to the second terminal apparatus group, allocation request of transmission band in the first radio resource by using the first radio resource; and

receiving, by a fourth terminal that belongs to the first terminal apparatus group, the allocation request transmitted from the third terminal by using the first radio resource, and transmits a second signal by using the second radio resource, the second signal being generated in case of the second radio resource allocating the transmission band for the third terminal;

transmitting data by using the allocated transmission band in the second radio resource in accordance with receiving the first signal, by the first terminal;

transmitting, by the third terminal apparatus, data by using the allocated transmission band in the first radio resource in accordance with receiving the second signal; and

transmitting, by using the fourth terminal allocating an unused portion of the transmission band of the transmission band to the third terminal, the allocated transmission band as the second signal.
