Abstract: A transition portion (4) has a surface (14) that is formed extending upward. The surface (14) is a surface formed extending upward so as to face a bottom portion (6a). Specifically, the transition portion (4) has a cross-sectional shape in which upper edge portions of side portions (8a) are bent inward. As the surface (14) approaches a main terminal body (3) from a sealing portion (22), the surface (14) gradually separates away from the bottom portion (6a) and the edge portions of the surface (14) gradually open outward and connect to side portions (8b) of the main terminal body (3). The surface (14) is formed so as to be curved upward, in a cross-section, from the end portion of the sealing portion (22).

Abstract: When a frequency band which can be utilized by a radio communication system is divided into multiple partial frequency bands and one or more partial frequency bands are allocated to multiple base stations, each base station reports to a control station information for receiving a signal transmitted by a terminal and a number of connected terminals for every partial frequency band. The control station determines a load of each partial frequency band based on the information received from each base station. Regarding a terminal group that performs communication utilizing the partial frequency band on which the load is generated, the control station delivers information for receiving a signal transmitted by the terminal group to each base station and instructs interference measurement of the terminal group. The control station determines necessity of a handover, a handover destination base station, and a frequency and performs a base station-led handover.
