Abstract: IO buffers that operate with an IO power supply system and cut cells that isolate the IO buffers from each other are disposed on the periphery of an always-on power supply area and a power supply cut-off available area. A signal indicating the holding of an IO output(s) output from the always-on power supply area is wired so as to go round the IO buffers and the cut cells. The cut cell includes a level shifter that operates with an IO power supply system. The cut cell shifts the level of signal indicating the holding of IO output so that the signal level conforms to the power supply system of IO buffers, and outputs the resultant signal to the IO buffers.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for automatically setting a configuration in a home base station. In the method for automatically setting a configuration in a home base station, wireless setting information of a neighbor base station and a neighbor home base station is retrieved through a communication interface for a terminal operation when updated wireless setting information is not received from a network apparatus. The retrieved wireless setting information is transmitted to the network apparatus. An operation is performed by reflecting last wireless setting information when the last wireless setting information is received from the network apparatus. The configuration can be automatically set by monitoring an environment of a neighbor base station without a direct operation of an engineer, transmitting a monitoring result to a server, and receiving FA information and PN code information from the server.
