Abstract: A mobile-communications system is disclosed. The system includes a mobile station, a wireless-base station enabled to communicate with the mobile station, and a location-information management apparatus for managing a state of the mobile station in a network layer upper to a link layer for managing wireless-communications resources. The mobile station is provided with wireless-communications means for transmitting and receiving a signal with the wireless-base station in an active state in the link layer for managing the wireless-communications resources, discontinuous-receiving means for discontinuously receiving a control signal from the wireless-base station in the link layer in a state different from the active state, and state-management means for creating a state-transition signal in response to a paging signal included in the control signal.

Abstract: In a mobile communication system 1 having a radio base station 2, and mobile stations 5, 6 configured to communicate with the base station 2 and segmented into a plurality of mobile station groups, the base station 5 provides a broadcast channel with first instruction information to notify the mobile station 5 of whether or not to receive the broadcast channel, provides a paging channel with second instruction information to notify the mobile station 5 of the presence/absence of paging information, and performs such a channel transmission control as to intermittently transmit the broadcast channel and the paging channel on a control channel.

Abstract: When a base station of a mobile communications system attempts to reduce its cell radius for power saving, frequency re-use enhancement and the like, a risk is that an ongoing communication between a mobile station served by the base station may be disconnected, which is avoided by: the base station transmitting information about a new cell radius to mobile stations in the current cell; the mobile stations responding to the base station with a positive or a negative reply determined from the information received from the base station; the base station suspending or revising the attempted cell radius reduction according to the responses from the mobile stations; and further by the mobile stations being capable of performing hand-over more efficiently than ever owing to abilities to detect final cell radii of adjacent base stations.

Abstract: Provided is a mobile communication system capable of reducing interference in uplinks and downlinks to achieve excellent communication quality. A mobile station receives cell selection reference signals from a first base station and a second base station to connect before and after a handover, and measures received power values of the cell selection reference signals. The mobile station acquires uplink transmitted power values from the mobile station to the first base station and to the second base station. The first base station and the second base station control a power of the cell selection reference signal so that the uplink transmitted power values from the mobile station to the first base station and to the second base station become substantially equal and so that a received power value at the mobile station of the cell selection reference signal becomes substantially equal to a predetermined reference power value.

Abstract: The object is to implement autonomous and optimal cell formation on the occasion of adding a new resource to a cellular system. Abase station detects a location of its own, extracts location information about locations of neighbor base stations attached to broadcast signals from the neighbor base stations, captures the circumstances of the neighbor cell areas from these locations of its own and neighbor base stations, and sets a direction and a coverage (e.g., a cell radius and a spanning angle) of a new cell area on the basis of the circumstances of the neighbor cell areas. The base station may also be configured to capture the circumstances of the neighbor cell areas in consideration of propagation losses between the home station and the neighbor base stations, in addition to the above location information, or to capture the circumstances of the neighbor cell areas in consideration of the number of communicable base stations at a location of each mobile station in the neighborhood.
