Abstract: During a transition procedure from a first communication system to a second communication system, when the priority of a second communication call, whose setup is requested, is the first priority, the second communication system does not set up the bearer of a first communication call between the second communication system and the mobile communication terminal, and notifies the first communication system that the setup of the first communication is not possible, but the setup of the second communication call is possible. When notified that the setup of the first communication is not possible, but the setup of the second communication call is possible, the first communication system aborts the handover procedure, and instructs the mobile communication terminal to switch to the second communication system by another procedure.

Abstract: In a handover procedure though which a bearer for the first communication call established between the first communication system and a mobile communication terminal is switched to a bearer for the first communication call established between the second communication system and the mobile communication terminal, the second communication system determines whether to establish the bearer for the first communication call between the second communication system and the mobile communication terminal based on whether the first communication call is established between the first communication system and the mobile communication terminal or the data amount of the first communication call established between the first communication system and the mobile communication terminal.

Abstract: A mobile communication system 100 includes a specific cell configured to allow a specific user to be provided with a service and to allow a non-specific user other than the specific user to be provided with a limited service. The mobile communication system 100 includes a management unit 23 configured to manage a presence state of the non-specific user in the specific cell in addition to a presence state of the specific user in the specific cell.

Abstract: A network apparatus 20 includes a determination unit 23 configured to determine whether or not to transmit a connection instruction message instructing a UE 10 to connect with a second communication system to the UE 10. The determination unit 23 determines that a second communication instruction message is to be transmitted to the UE 10 when an elapsed time period after transmission of a first connection instruction message to the UE 10 exceeds a predetermined time period, and determines that the second connection instruction message is not to be transmitted to the UE 10 when the elapsed time period does not exceed the predetermined time period.

Abstract: A network apparatus 20 includes a management unit 22 configured to manage each of a plurality of second cells provided in the second communication system and a priority level in association with each other, the priority level weighted depending on whether a connection to each of the plurality of second cells has succeeded or failed, and a selection unit 23 configured to select a connection destination cell with which the mobile communication terminal is to be connected among the plurality of second cells based on the priority level associated with each of the plurality of second cells.

Abstract: A radio network controller for a wireless communication system, in which a dedicated channel and an enhanced dedicated channel are switched and assigned for an uplink for each call, includes a throughput estimation unit that estimates a throughput, wherein the throughput is expected when the enhanced dedicated channel is assigned to a call to be transmitted by a mobile station to which the dedicated channel has been assigned and/or to a call to be transmitted by a mobile station that initiates a communication; a packet access scheme selection unit that selects the enhanced dedicated channel, when the throughput estimated by the throughput estimation unit is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold value; and a packet access scheme setting unit that sets the enhanced dedicated channel, when the packet access scheme selection unit selects the enhanced dedicated channel.

Abstract: The first communication system is configured to determine whether or not to provide information that instructs the UE 10 to connect to the second communication system, based on a subscriber identifier allocated to the UE 10. The subscriber identifier is configured to identify whether or not the UE 10 is allowed to utilize the second communication system.

Abstract: A mobile communication method according to the present invention includes the steps of: after a mobile station UE having RRC connection with the radio network controller RNC gets out of the coverage of the mobile communication system of WCDMA scheme, performing location registration to the mobile communication system of LTE scheme, issuing a notification to the radio network controller RNC by the exchange apparatus SGSN upon reception of predetermined signal, the notification implying that the mobile station UE performs the location registration to the mobile communication system of LTE scheme; and the radio network controller RNC releasing the resources for RRC connection without transmitting a signal to release the resources to the mobile station UE in response to the notification from the exchange apparatus SGSN.

Abstract: A mobile communication method according to the present invention includes step A of instructing, by a radio access network apparatus of a first communication scheme, a mobile station having first radio connection established with the radio access network apparatus of the first communication scheme to switch to a mobile communication system of a second communication scheme, and step B of notifying the mobile station of a priority by the mobile communication system of the second communication scheme using a predetermined signal after the mobile station establishes second radio connection with a radio access network apparatus of the second communication scheme, the priority used to determine a communication system for camping-on by the mobile station.

Abstract: A controller 100A includes a congestion level acquisition unit 105 to acquire a congestion level of communication traffic which is handled in each of the finite number of overlaid cells, a priority giving unit 107 to give a higher selection priority to a cell having a lower congestion level on the basis of the congestion level acquired by the congestion level acquisition unit 105, and a control unit 109 to select a cell to be allocated to a call based on the W-CDMA system, according to the selection priority given by the priority giving unit. the priority giving unit 107 gives a higher selection priority to an HSDPA non-supporting cell than an HSDPA supporting cell if the congestion levels thereof are less than a predetermined threshold, and gives a same selection priority to the HSDPA non-supporting cell and the HSDPA supporting cell if the congestion levels thereof are equal to or larger than the predetermined threshold.

Abstract: In a mobile communication system, definite resources in radio sectors are allocated to more users in an aspect that the users hardly feel stress during communication. When a call corresponds to an active call based on an active connection request that has been generated by a user's operation (that is, transmitting and obtaining delivery information of pull-type by means of arrows AC, DL or the like), as a trigger, more resources (communication rate is higher) are allocated to the call. When the call corresponds to a non-active call (that is, receiving and obtaining delivery information of push-type by means of an arrow SU or the like), fewer resources (communication rate is lower) are allocated to the call.

Abstract: Signals received from mobile station by respective slave units each are attenuated by a combination of attenuation factors set for the respective slave units, the attenuated signals thereafter are combined into a resultant signal in master unit, and the combination of attenuation factors is changed based on a predetermined rule. Then information about magnitudes of powers of signals received from the mobile station by the respective slave units is acquired based on change of information about a power of the resultant signal occurring with change in the combination of attenuation factors. At this time, the signal received from the mobile station by each slave unit increases its power with decreasing distance of the slave unit to the mobile station; therefore, distances from the mobile station to the respective slave units are estimated based on the information about the magnitudes of the powers, and the location of the mobile station is suitably estimated thereby.
