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.

Abstract: A RAKE reception device capable of allocating an appropriate number of fingers to a channel. In this device, a selection control section (301) sets a finger (304) allocated to the channel from the channel communication state and a control signal based on this setting is output to a synchronization processing section (302) and to a selection switch (303). According to the control signal, the synchronization processing section (302) detects a path and a spread code phase in a reception signal and allocates the detected path to the finger (304) which has been set. The finger (304) which has been set de-spreads the signal of the path allocated and performs coherent detection. According to the control signal, the selection switch (303) switches the connection between the finger (304) and a maximum ratio combining section (307) so that the output from the finger (304) is output to the maximum ratio combining section (307).

Abstract: A radio channel setting control method for communications between a base-station apparatus and a mobile-station apparatus in a mobile communications system employing a CDMA scheme comprising the steps of: a) determining whether or not a spread code used for the communications can be allocated; b) determining whether or not a predetermined hardware device can be allocated; c) determining whether or not a radio resource can be allocated; d) setting the radio channel between the base-station apparatus and mobile-station apparatus when it is determined that the spread code, predetermined hardware device and radio resource can be allocated.

Abstract: A branch candidate selecting method by a mobile station and a diversity handover control method on a network side in DHO performance are provided which consider a maximum cable branch number and maximum radio branch number of the mobile station, when the mobile station detects the plurality of addition branch candidates and deletion branch candidates. The mobile station inserts a plurality of addition branch candidates and deletion branch candidates, that is, all the DHO candidates into one handover trigger signal, and notifies the network. The addition branch candidates are put into addition information parameters in the handover trigger signal, and the deletion branch candidates are put into deletion information parameters. To simplify processing on the network side, the network side separates the addition branch candidates from the deletion branch candidates, and carries out sequential processing of them independently.

Abstract: A chemical sensor utilizing a chemical receptor (for example, one stimulating the sense of taste or smell) is provided. More specifically speaking, such a receptor is introduced into cells and the cells are immobilized on a support to form a chip. This chip is then employed as a component of a sensor. This sensor shows a reaction almost the same as the body's perception of the taste or smell or sense, thereby enabling analysis. Thus, it is also usable as an artificial sensory organ. Moreover, this sensor is usable in diagnosis, which imparts a high industrial usefulness to it.

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.

Abstract: When packet sending and receiving apparatus 21 sets a connection, timing control apparatus 22 generates a timing information Tf as the packet is dispersed equivalently. Timing control apparatus 22 notices the timing information Tf to packet sending and receiving apparatus 21 and base station 3. Packet sending and receiving apparatus 21 carries out a packet generating processing in accordance with a frame offset value which is indicated by the timing information Tf. Therefore, the packets in which a packet transmission timing is averaged in a packet transmission period arrives to packet multiplex apparatus 23. Consequently, it is possible to decrease a waiting time of the packet multiplex transmission. Therefore, it is possible to use efficiency a transmission link L1, while being satisfied the required service quality.
