  • Patent number: 8442574
    Abstract: A method includes the steps of calculating a transmission power difference between a first carrier and a second carrier, and determining whether or not the transmission power difference exceeds a threshold set up on the basis of a maximum transmission power difference allowable between the first carrier and the second carrier. When the transmission power difference exceeds the threshold set up on the basis of the maximum transmission power difference, the transmission power of the first carrier or the second carrier is controlled while maintaining the transmission power difference within the maximum transmission power difference and not complying with power control information corresponding to the first carrier or the second carrier.

  • Publication number: 20130040598
    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).

  • Patent number: 8249514
    Abstract: A base station 20 monitors change of a parameter for an adaptive array antenna, the parameter being used to control a directivity of a beam to be transmitted to a mobile terminal device 30. As a result, when detecting that a value indicating the change has fallen below a predetermined value, the base station 20 suppresses control of the directivity of a transmission signal. Moreover, the base station 20 transmits decrease information to the mobile terminal device 30, the decrease information indicating that the value indicating the change has fallen below the predetermined value. Upon receipt of the decrease information transmitted from the base station 20, the mobile terminal device 30 equalizes a signal to be transmitted to the base station 20 on the basis of a delay status of a reception signal received from the base station 20, and then transmits the equalized signal to the base station 20.
