Abstract: A mobile communication system includes a plurality of base station apparatuses and a mobile station apparatus. The mobile station apparatus measures at predetermined intervals of time the quality of a signal received from each base station apparatus and transmits signal reception quality information indicating the quality of the signal to a first base station apparatus that is currently connected via radio to the mobile station apparatus. After a predetermined period of time has elapsed from the time that the signal reception quality for the first base station apparatus dropped to or below a first handover threshold, if the quality of the signal received from a second base station apparatus becomes equal to or higher than a second handover threshold, the first base station apparatus executes a handover to switch the radio connection of the mobile station apparatus from the first base station apparatus to the second base station apparatus.

Abstract: An application stored in a mobile device is provisioned using provisioning data received from remote data storage via a network. Provisioning data is obtained at no cost to a user of the mobile device. In some implementations, the provisioning data is received after the mobile device requests to establish a data channel with a data network. The data network is identified using a predetermined identifier that the network recognizes. If the network does not recognize the special identifier, no data channel is established. After a data channel is established, the mobile device requests provisioning data from the remote data storage. In some implementations, the mobile device receives a provisioning message through a predetermined port. The provisioning message either includes provisioning data or prompts the mobile device to obtain provisioning data.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose an information processing method. A first base station receives a handover request message from a second base station. The first base station determines whether the handover request message is an initial handover request message directly sent by a source base station in a handover process or a forwarded handover request message. If a judging result is that the handover request message is the forwarded handover request message, the first base station saves a user equipment, context in the handover request message so as to become a prepared base station of the UE.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating and use of a position location reference signal that allows a receiver to receive position location signals from relatively weak signal generators when in the presence of a strong signal source. The position location reference signals from multiple sources can be synchronized to occur within a scheduled time slot of a time division multiplexed communication system. During the scheduled time slot, each signal source can configure a transmission that includes a media access control address that corresponds to a value reserved for position location signals. Each signal source also configures the transmission to include a position location reference signal that corresponds to the signal source. The position location signals from each of the signal sources is positioned to occur at a time within the data portion of the scheduled time slot that no neighboring signal source transmits its corresponding position location signal.

Abstract: A network selection method and a terminal device are provided. When a terminal performs location registration or location update, if access to a first network domain fails, a locally-configured domain priority setting item is obtained; if the domain priority setting item indicates that the first network domain is preferential, the terminal reselects a network; if the domain priority setting item indicates that a second network domain is preferential, the terminal judges whether registration in a second network is successful; if the registration is unsuccessful, the terminal reselects a network; if the registration is successful, the terminal does not reselect a network.
