  • Publication number: 20110122841
    Abstract: A mobile communication system in which a home cell limits access from a first mobile station, and when the first mobile station communicating via a macro cell using the same frequency as the home cell enters a predetermined area near the home cell, the first mobile station is caused to perform handover to a different-frequency macro cell selected from among macro cells covering the predetermined area and using frequencies different from that used in the home cell.

  • Publication number: 20110117913
    Abstract: A mobile communication method includes a mobile station transmitting a location registration request on the basis of a pilot signal, a network device judging, in response to the received location registration request, whether or not access to a specific radio base station from the mobile station is permitted, the network device rejecting location registration processing when the access is judged not to be permitted, and the network device making a determination so that the transmission power of the pilot signal in the specific radio base station is reduced when the number of rejections of location registration processing exceeds a predetermined number of times.

  • Publication number: 20110092205
    Abstract: In a position registering method, a radio control station (RNC) transmits report information including a first position number, which has been extracted by using a cell identifier as key information, to the cell identified by the cell identifier. A mobile station (UE) transmits a position registration request when the first position number included in the report information is different from a position number stored in the mobile station: The radio control station (RNC) notifies the first position number and the second position number, which have been extracted by using as the key information the cell identifier for identifying the requester of the position registration request, and a user identifier for identifying the mobile station. An exchange (MSC/SGSN) stores the notified user identifier, first position number, and second position number in association with one another.

  • Patent number: 7907730
    Abstract: When a network pages the temporary user mobile identifier of a mobile station, the mobile station sends a response to the network. Next, the network checks the authenticity of the user using a ciphering key, corresponding to the temporary user mobile identifier and a random number. If the temporary user mobile identifier is authenticated, a normal incoming call acceptance procedure is executed. If the mobile station is authenticated although the temporary user mobile identifier is wrong, the network reassigns a new temporary user mobile identifier to the mobile station and stops the current communication. In communication, the network and the mobile station mutually notify encipherment-onset time and negotiate about encipherment manner with each other. In addition, diversity handover is commenced upon a call attempt. Furthermore, if a branch replacement is necessary, the current branch is replaced by new branches capable of executing the diversity handover.

  • Publication number: 20110041958
    Abstract: An acidic chromium-free solution for treating a metal surface containing: a vanadium cation source and/or a vanadyl cation source; an organic acid as an anion source; and at least one oxoacid as another anion source is provided. The oxoacid is selected from oxoacids of nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, boron, and chlorine. A metal component composed of, for example, aluminum or magnesium is brought into contact with the chromium-free solution to form a vanadium coating film of a surface of the metal component. A surface treating process using this chromium-free solution is useful for formation of a coating film having low corrosion resistance and low electric resistance.

  • Publication number: 20110032905
    Abstract: A mobile station for communicating with base stations simultaneously in diversity handover. The mobile station monitors radio condition quality corresponding to a plurality of branches, selects one or more addition branch candidates based on the monitored radio condition quality. The mobile station arranges the addition branch candidates in order of the monitored radio condition quality; notifies a center of information on said plurality of branches including said addition branch candidates, the addition branch candidates being notified in the arranged order. Alternatively, the mobile station obtains a relative value of each of the addition branch candidates indicative of order of precedence to be used for the diversity handover based on the monitored radio condition quality of said addition branch candidates; and notifies a center of information on said plurality of branches including said addition branch candidates and their relative values.

  • Patent number: 7873014
    Abstract: A handover method for controlling communication between a mobile station and base station(s) in a wireless communication system. The method includes measuring signal qualities transmitted from the base station(s), the measured signal qualities including a measured quality of a signal received from a certain base station; identifying the base station as an addition candidate based on the measured quality exceeding an addition threshold; thereafter detecting that the measured quality of the signal received from the addition candidate has further exceeded an active threshold which is greater than the addition threshold. The active threshold is determined in accordance with a quality of a signal transmitted from one or more active base stations. In response, the base stations are notified of information about the addition candidate; and a handover process is performed on the bases on this information.

  • Publication number: 20100226378
    Abstract: In a communication system of a subscriber extension line system, there is provided a communication controller whereby the load of an unnecessary process to be applied on a communication controller relating to a destination of a mobile telephone is eliminated and the processing efficiency for communication control is enhanced. In a D-RNC which controls the communication of the mobile telephone and which is commonly connected with an S-RNC, the mobile telephone moves while maintaining the communication with the S-RNC. When the mobile telephone enters a cell relating to the D-RNC, the control data is transmitted or received between the S-RNC and the node for managing the mobile telephone.

  • Publication number: 20100012620
    Abstract: The wet-processing apparatus includes a wet-step bath in which a wet-step is carried out, and a vibration-type film separator for separating impurities out of a solution used in the wet-step. The wet-processing apparatus further includes a re-supply path through which the solution out of which the impurities were removed by means of the vibration-type film separator is re-supplied to the wet-step bath. Thus, it is possible to reuse a solution and a material of which a pattern is composed. Since the vibration-type film separator is used, it is possible to reduce a frequency of exchanging filters equipped in the vibration-type film separator, and ensure a high rate at which a material of which a pattern is composed is recovered, regardless of a specific gravity of the material.
