230131.

Generally, a PA (Power Amplifier) that amplifies a signal being sent and converts that signal
into the wireless bandwidth consumes a substantial amount power. In particular, macro base
stations that cover a wide area and require a fair amount of power to transmit data comprise a
large portion of the PA power consumption.

The number of PRBs allocated to a PDSCH (Physical Downlink Control CHannel) differs in
accordance with the amount of user data being sent. Here, if we assume that there is a
constant amount of power used to send each PRB (Physical Resource Block), then the more
PRBs that there are allocated to the PDSCH, the more power that the base station will
consume. Also, the less frequently that user data is sent or the smaller that the size of that data
is, the signal sent from the base station will be managed so that it is control data instead of
user data. In light of this, new approaches are being discussed that would reduce power
consumption of the base station by stopping the PA by using symbols not allocated for PDSCH
or control data.

For example, patent document 1 (Unexamined Patent 2012-74855) describes a technique for
stopping communications (stopping the PA) in a base station where, by using the symbols not
allocated for control data or PDSCH, PDSCH is first allocated in the subframe comprised of the
control data. This type of base station would make it possible to reduce power consumption by
stopping the PA with the symbols not containing control data or PDSCH.

Document 1 further describes a technique for ensuring quality of service (QoS) of the user data
by also sending user data in a subframe that doesn’t send control data according to the status
value of the user data that has built up, including the size of the user data that has built-up in
the send buffer of the base station while waiting to send data, as well as the grace period up
until the user data is sent.

Scope of claims
Claim 1
A base station that sends data it has received from a network to a wireless terminal, and has:
a send component that sends a wireless signal to a wireless terminal;
a wireless resource allocation component that requests temporary allotment of wireless
resources to be used for the sending of data for the wireless terminal address from the quality
of the wireless communication signal between the wireless terminals and the size of the data of
the wireless terminal address, and once the temporarily allocated wireless resources meet the
designated criteria, then the wireless resource allocation component carries out the allocation
of the wireless resources using the contents of the data;
a send control component that, when the wireless resources have been allocated by the
wireless resource allocation component and the wireless terminal address data is sent to the
send component using the wireless resources that were allocated, the send control component
stops the send function of the send component if the wireless resources have not been
allocated by the wireless resource allocation component.

Claim 2
In the base station described in claim 1,
the base station is characterized by the wireless resource allocation component allocating
wireless resources when amount of temporarily allocated wireless resources exceeds the
designated wireless resource amount.

Claim 3
In the base station described in claim 1,
a base station that is characterized by the wireless resource allocation component allocating
wireless resources when the percentage of the amount of temporarily allocated wireless
resources exceeds the designated percentage relative to the amount of all possible allocated
wireless resources.
