  • Patent number: 8635505
    Abstract: In a wireless communication system, a sender apparatus sends a data block, for each of a plurality of stream data, with data block identification information, which does not conflict between stream data, annexed, and a reception apparatus performs a re-sending synthesis process for a data block received already and a re-sending data block to which the same data block identification information is individually annexed based on the data block identification information annexed to the received data block. Consequently, also in a case wherein the number of transmission streams between the sender apparatus and the reception apparatus is varied (reduced), the matching property of the data block which is a re-sending synthesis target can be maintained and communication can be continued normally.

  • Patent number: 8514819
    Abstract: During handover, an origin base station saves data packets for a mobile station, as well as instructs the mobile station to switch communication to a destination base station, and requests a host station to switch the base station that communicates with that mobile station from the origin base station to the destination base station. After that, when in accordance to the switching request it is possible to save data packets, the host station begins to save the data packets for the mobile station in the place of the origin base station, and after communication between the mobile station and the destination base station has become possible, sends the saved data packets to the mobile station via the destination base station.
