Patent number: 8219111Abstract: A linear least squares (LLS) estimator provides a low complexity estimation of the location of a mobile terminal (MT), using one of the fixed terminals (FTs) as a reference FT to derive a linear model. A method for selecting a reference FT is disclosed, which improves the location accuracy relative to an arbitrary approach to selecting the reference FT. In addition, a covariance-matrix based LLS estimator is proposed in line-of-sight (LOS) and non-LOS (NLOS) environments to further provide accuracy, taking advantage of the correlation of the observations. Different techniques for selecting the reference FT under non-LOS (NLOS) conditions are disclosed. A map-based two-stage LLS estimator assists in selecting the reference FT under NLOS conditions.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2008Date of Patent: July 10, 2012Assignee: NTT DoCoMoInventors: Ismail Guvenc, Fujio Watanabe, Hiroshi Inamura

Patent number: 7953414Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2009Date of Patent: May 31, 2011Assignee: NTT DocomoInventors: Motoshi Tamura, Mutsumaru Miki, Akiko Okamoto, Kenya Kusunose, Akihiro Uchikoshi, Daisuke Igarashi, Katsuhiko Yamagata, Takaaki Sato, Junichiro Hagiwara, Yasuyuki Watanabe, Takuya Hamajima, Masafumi Hata, Nobutaka Ishikawa, Yoshiyuki Yasuda, Kazufumi Yunoki, Nobuhide Uchiyama
