A communication apparatus has been granted a patent for a system that allows for communication in a predetermined frequency band using a second radio communication system while a base station of a first radio communication system is operating in a specific mode. The communication apparatus can request information from the base station regarding the timing of this mode, enabling seamless communication in the second system during this period. This innovation is particularly useful for scenarios where different radio communication systems, such as LTE and NR standards, need to coexist in the same frequency band.

Furthermore, the patent covers a method and computer program stored on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that facilitates this communication process. By transmitting signals to the base station, acquiring necessary information, and adjusting communication based on this data, the communication apparatus ensures efficient operation in a mixed-system environment. This technology not only optimizes resource allocation but also enhances the overall performance of the communication apparatus when operating in conjunction with multiple radio communication systems.
