  • Publication number: 20160345232
    Abstract: When a handover request for performing a handover of a terminal (70) from a macro cell C1 to a CSG cell C2 is received from an SeNB 10 (S8), a base station (TeNB) (40) of the CSG cell C2 transmits a handover response in accordance with a handover enabled/disabled state (S12). The handover response includes an identifier of the terminal (70) in the CSG cell C2. Upon receiving the response, the SeNB (10) notifies the identifier to the terminal (70) (S14). The TeNB (40) repeatedly transmits a dedicated signal containing a handover command via a dedicated channel set using the identifier at an interval shorter than a gap period (S18). Accordingly, whether or not access is permitted can be judged promptly and a smooth handover can be realized.

  • Patent number: 9491736
    Abstract: Provided are a base station device and a mobile station device, which can lighten a cell-search processing. The base station device includes a frame constitution unit for forming a frame, in which a pilot symbol multiplied by a base station scrambling code and a plurality of sequences contained in the corresponding sequence set is arranged in at least the head or tail, and a radio transmission unit for sending the formed frame. On the receiving side, the frame timing can be detected from the position of a pilot symbol contained in that frame. Since the base station scrambling code and the sequence set containing the sequences are made to correspond to each other, candidates can be narrowed to at most the base station scrambling codes of the number of the combinations of the sequences contained in the sequence set, by detecting the sequences multiplied by the pilot symbol.

  • Publication number: 20160198357
    Abstract: In a wireless communication terminal in a wireless communication system for performing a control not to transmit signals, or to transmit signals with a reduction in a transmission power by a part of radio resources for a downlink signal in a cell provided by a base station, the terminal receives control information in generating a report related to a measurement result of the cell provided by the base station, monitors a state of a radio link with an own cell, and performs measurement on reception of the downlink signal. If an instruction for restricting the measurement to a part of the radio resources is included in the control information from the base station after the radio link failure occurs, the terminal generates and transmits a radio link failure report including the measurement result in the radio resources as instructed when the radio link failure occurs.

  • Patent number: 9326272
    Abstract: Provided are a base station, a terminal whereby erroneous detection of control information can be reduced to prevent the degradation of the system throughput. A PDCCH generation unit (104) forms a downstream allocation control information unit (i.e., DCI) including cyclic redundant check (CRC) bits, which have been masked or scrambled by use of ID information of a terminal (200), and further including a bit sequence (i.e., virtual CRC) known between the terminal (200) and the base station; and an allocation unit (108) and a multiplex unit (109) map the formed DCI to a resource region (i.e., R-PDCCH region) that can be used as any one of a downstream control channel region and a downstream data channel region. That is, the PDCCH generation unit (104) includes the virtual CRC into the DCI only when the DCI addressed to the terminal (200) is mapped to the R-PDCCH region.

  • Patent number: 8989739
    Abstract: A technique is disclosed for preventing a mobile terminal from unnecessarily connecting to a local connection service provided by a mobile router. In a communication system, a UE 10 sends user preference information to a forwarding node 20 before the UE connects to the forwarding node, which is installed in a moving body 110 as an access point of the UE to forward information to the UE. The forwarding node determines whether information capable of being supplied to the UE is appropriate for a user of the UE based on the preference information and sends the determination result to the UE. When the UE becomes connectable to the forwarding node, the UE does not connect to the forwarding node if the information capable of being supplied is not appropriate for the user of the UE based on the determination result; else the UE connects to the forwarding node.

  • Publication number: 20140194111
    Abstract: Disclosed is a technique for starting an application used to receive a message for the application efficiently in order to reduce the processing load on and the battery consumption of a user terminal. According to this technique, a network is requested to transmit a control message to a user terminal when receiving a message addressed to an application on the user terminal, and when receiving, from a server, a message addressed to the application on the user terminal, the network transmits a control message such as paging to the user terminal. The user terminal receives the paging from the network even in the connected mode, and starts an application used to receive a message for the application on the user terminal in response to the reception of the paging so that the application can be started at timing where there exists the message to be received.
