COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, METHOD, AND MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18748522 titled 'COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, METHOD, AND MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation:
The communication apparatus described in the patent operates as a base station in a TDD communication system. It includes a communication unit, a storage unit, a determination unit, and an obtaining unit. The apparatus is capable of determining the TDD pattern to be used based on the type of network slice obtained for a terminal connected to the base station.
- The communication apparatus operates as a base station in a TDD communication system.
- It includes a communication unit, storage unit, determination unit, and obtaining unit.
- The apparatus can determine the TDD pattern to be used based on the network slice type obtained for a connected terminal.

Original Abstract Submitted
A communication apparatus operating as a base station in a TDD communication system, comprises: a communication unit configured to perform communication using a TDD pattern; a storage unit configured to store a plurality of TDD patterns; a determination unit configured to determine a TDD pattern to be used by the communication unit; and an obtaining unit configured to obtain a type of a network slice to be used by a terminal connected to the base station. The plurality of TDD patterns include a synchronous TDD pattern and a semi-synchronous TDD pattern. The determination unit determines the TDD pattern to be used by the communication unit based on the type obtained by the obtaining unit and the plurality of TDD patterns.
