Abstract: A wireless communication system in which a communication apparatus performs a packet communication with a radio network controller through a base transceiver station stores identification information about a communication line in a first state in which communications are performed using an individual channel and line information including a setting parameter. When an index of an amount of data communication in the first state falls below a threshold, the individual channel is released and a transition to a second state in which communications are performed using a common channel is performed. When an index in the second state exceeds the threshold, recovery to the first state is performed using the setting parameter.

Abstract: A transmission apparatus designed to be capable of monitoring faults which occur between the input stage of an optical multiplexer and the input stage of an optical amplifier, appropriately switching between automatic gain control and automatic level control, and outputting signal lights with appropriate optical power, without using a spectrum analyzer. The optical multiplexer combines the wavelengths of a plurality of signal lights. The optical amplifier is connected at the latter stage of the optical multiplexer, and operates in the automatic gain control mode or in the automatic level control mode, the automatic gain control mode maintaining a constant gain for wavelength-multiplexed signal light, the automatic level control mode maintaining constant output power for the wavelength-multiplexed signal light.

Abstract: An optical amplifier may be quickly returned from a shutdown state to a regular state after getting recovery information of a fault. Gain setting by ASE is conducted to the repeaters on the up-stream side during the shutdown state, by outputting ASE light with the same intensity as the WDM signal. Accordingly, before realizing the recovery of shutdown, the gain setting is completed with the light whose intensity is within the safe criterion. After realizing the recovery of shutdown, the optical transmission system can be returned quickly to the regular operating state after recovery of shutdown state.
