Publication number: 20180213400Abstract: A SIP control apparatus is provided. The SIP control apparatus is connected to a management apparatus controlling call processing policy in an IP network, and controls a voice call made by a user apparatus. The SIP control apparatus includes a determination unit configured to, in the case where a call connection request is received from the user apparatus, determine whether authentication of the user apparatus has been completed by querying the management apparatus; and a call processing unit configured to, in the case where it is determined that the authentication of the user apparatus has been completed, perform call connection processing without authenticating the user apparatus.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 9, 2016Publication date: July 26, 2018Applicant: NTT DOCOMO, INC.Inventors: Motohiro Abe, Aki Ohashi, Mana Kaneko

Publication number: 20170311151Abstract: A Home Subscriber Server (HSS) determines whether roaming of voice communication via an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) is supported in the Visited Public Land Mobile Network (VPLMN) or not, and transmits to a mobility management entity (MME) a signal that includes a ‘voice supported’ or ‘voice not supported’ indicator that indicates whether the roaming is supported or not. The MME receives the indicator from the HSS, and transmits to a User Equipment (UE) an ‘Attach Accept’ as a response to an ‘Attach Request’ for the VPLMN. The MME then transmits to the UE, based on the indicator received from the HSS, the ‘Attach Accept’ that includes an indicator that indicates whether the roaming is supported or not.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2016Publication date: October 26, 2017Applicant: NTT DOCOMO, INC.Inventors: Aki Ohashi, Zhen Miao, Tomonori Kagi, Motohiro Abe, Tetsuya Matsumoto

Publication number: 20170272926Abstract: The disclosure provides a mobile communication system, a communication control device, a mobility management entity, and a mobile communication method which can avoid a failure in making an emergency call via an IMS when a mobile station connects to a VPLMN. An HSS 100 judges whether or not an emergency call origination via an IMS 500 is supported in the VPLMN, and transmits a signal including an indicator, EM supported or EM not supported, which indicates whether or not the emergency call origination is supported, to an MME 300. The MME 300 receives the indicator from the HSS 100 and transmits, to the UE 20, Attach Accept responding to Attach Request to the VPLMN from a UE 20. Based on the indicator received from the HSS 100, the MME 300 transmits, to the UE 20, Attach Accept including the indicator which indicates whether or not the emergency call is supported.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2016Publication date: September 21, 2017Applicant: NTT DOCOMO, INC.Inventors: Aki Ohashi, Zhen Miao, Tomonori Kagi, Motohiro Abe, Mana Kaneko

Patent number: 9596342Abstract: A mobile station and a mobile communication method are provided, which are, if being able to output a local ringing tone and a NW-provided ringing tone, capable of continuing a ringing tone outputted before a transition from LTE to 3G by aSRVCC even after the transition is made. A UE (100A) executes continuation processing (aSRVCC) of a 3G voice communication service if the mobile station makes a transition of the connection destination from LTE to 3G during an alert period when the other party in the voice communication service is being alerted. Further, the UE (100A) outputs a NW-provided ringing tone without outputting a local ringing tone based on data stored in the mobile station after making a transition to a second radio access system if aSRVCC is executed during a period when the NW-provided ringing tone is being outputted.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2013Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: NTT DOCOMO INCInventors: Itsuma Tanaka, Aki Ohashi, Hiromi Himeno, Hideyuki Sakuramoto

Patent number: 9497679Abstract: A mobile station and a mobile communication method are provided, which are capable of continuing output of an announcement sound even if a transition is made from LTE to 3G by SRVCC when the announcement sound is being received from a network side in response to a call request to a call-terminating terminal. A UE 100A executes continuation processing (SRVCC) of a 3G voice communication service if the mobile station makes a transition of a connection destination from LTE to 3G. Further, the UE 100A receives the announcement sound via LTE or 3G, and outputs the announcement sound after requesting alerting of the other party and before starting the alerting of the other party. The UE 100A outputs the announcement sound even after making a transition to 3G if the continuation processing of the voice communication service is executed during a period when the announcement sound is being outputted.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2013Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignee: NTT DOCOMO, INC.Inventors: Itsuma Tanaka, Aki Ohashi, Hiromi Himeno, Hideyuki Sakuramoto

Patent number: 8391205Abstract: When a browser is started up by a user, a packet call establishment request unit of a cellular phone requests the start of processing for establishing a packet call, and a communication control unit executes a packet all establishment processing. A mobile communication network sends a packet call establishment response message to the cellular phone, then sends packet data. A packet date storage unit of the cellular phone stores the packet data in a memory when packet data is received before the packet call establishment response message. If the packet call establishment response message is received thereafter, the packet data storage unit reads the packet data from the memory, and deletes the packet data from the memory. The packet processing execution unit displays a screen corresponding to the packet data on the display. Thereby, instances when packet data is discarded is decreased.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2006Date of Patent: March 5, 2013Assignee: NTT DoCoMo, Inc.Inventors: Kenji Tsuruta, Aki Ohashi, Hiromi Himeno, Masashi Kanauchi, Kei Akiyama
