  • Patent number: 8520644
    Abstract: A method for prompt re-direction of uplink access of a specific user equipment is disclosed. For initial random access to a network, if a user equipment transmits a preamble, which includes information related to random access, to a network node, the network node sends grant/rejection information of the preamble and re-direction information as a response message to the preamble. In comparison with the related art which controls a rush of an access request of the user equipment through a second response message from the network node, since the rush of an access request is controlled by a first response message in the present invention, it is possible to promptly deal with abnormal communication status, thereby improving communication efficiency.

  • Patent number: 8521532
    Abstract: An address character-string structure analyzer analyzes an address character-string structure with respect to address data selected from input data for speech conversion, in accordance with data stored in the address speech-conversion application-rule data storage section. A street speech-conversion structure data element divider divides the address data into structure elements. A street-name speech-conversion pronunciation symbol dictionary is provided. When the structure elements contain a street name, an address speech-conversion data-storage-section selector/reader searches the dictionary and reads pronunciation symbols for the street name. For another structure element, a general dictionary, an individually-created general dictionary, individually-created phonetic-symbol dictionary, or the like is searched and pronunciation symbols are read. When the processing for all elements is completed, speech data is created and reproduced in accordance with general speech data.
