  • Patent number: 8514772
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a handover method in CDMA mobile communication. A base station and a mobile station of the same establishes synchronization after the handover by correcting a discrepancy of a frame number on the base station side to reduce the processing load of the mobile station. Further, at the same time, optimumly performing a phase correction of the frame. In particular, a mobile station MS measures a time difference ? between a frame timing in an upstream traffic channel and a frame timing in a perch channel from a second base station BS2. Further, the second base station transmits the time difference ? to a base station in communication BS1. The base station BS1 sends the time difference ? and a frame number FN1 in the upstream traffic channel in communication to the base station BS2. The base station BS2 corrects the phase of the spread code at the reception of the upstream traffic channel based on the received time difference ? of the frame timing and the notified frame number FN1.

  • Patent number: 8363610
    Abstract: A communications system for communications by a multicarrier transmission mode between a plurality of communications apparatuses, wherein an overall frequency band assigned to the communications system is divided into a plurality of frequency bands each having a constant bandwidth and a specific band. The divided bands are used to transmit used frequency band information thereby indicating the assignment of the remaining bands used between said communications apparatuses. The specific band is defined as a main band for transmitting control channel information including used frequency band information and data channel information. The main band may be added with an extension band for transmitting further data channel information. The main band and extension band can be changed in the frequency band used along with time or can be changed in the number thereof. Both the main band and the extension bands are preferably used for multiplexing by some of communications apparatuses.
