  • Patent number: 9832694
    Abstract: UE 100 performs, in a mobile communication system in which a small cell is arranged within a coverage of a macro cell, a cell reselection on the basis of neighboring cell information broadcast from the macro cell. The UE 100 acquire, in a connected state in which the UE 100 is connected to the macro cell, from a server 400 that manages small cell information on the small cell, the small cell information via the macro cell. The neighboring cell information broadcast from the macro cell is information on a neighboring cell other than the small cell. The UE 100 performs, in an idle state, the cell reselection on the small cell on the basis of the small cell information acquired from the server 400.

  • Publication number: 20170195949
    Abstract: A radio terminal performs traffic steering between a mobile communication network and a wireless LAN. The radio terminal receives dedicated parameters notified individually from a cell provided in the mobile communication network. The dedicated parameters being determination parameters for determining whether or not to perform the traffic steering. The radio terminal discards the dedicated parameters when performing a connection process on the cell for transition to a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connected state after transition to an RRC idle state on the cell.

  • Patent number: 9374817
    Abstract: If an LTE base station (10-1) transmits an Earthquake and Tsunami Warning System (ETWS) signal from a core network (30) to mobile terminals (40), the LTE base station (10-1) determines that conditions are satisfied in which the traffic volume between the mobile terminals (40) is predicted to be at least a first predetermined value, adjusts the real amount of available wireless resources, and obtains an amount of available wireless resources after said adjustment. Additionally, the LTE base station (10-1) transmits a resource status response message, including the amount of available wireless resources after adjustment, to an adjacent LTE base station (10-2).

  • Publication number: 20160081123
    Abstract: A UE 100 comprises a controller configured to select either a normal mode in which D2D communication is controlled by a network or a public safety mode in which the D2D communication is controlled by the UE 100 instead of the network, as a mode to be applied to the D2D communication. The UE 100 selects either the normal mode or the public safety mode on the basis of a reception situation of a public safety allowance signal and a public safety prohibition signal transmitted depending on a situation of the network.
