  • Publication number: 20140126545
    Abstract: Under a handover control method, a wireless communication terminal receives a conditional handover command that is transmitted from a wireless communication device which provides an own cell connected to the wireless communication terminal and that gives a command to start handover to an adjacent cell when a predetermined condition is satisfied; determines whether or not the predetermined condition is satisfied; and starts handover to the adjacent cell indicated by the conditional handover command when the predetermined condition is satisfied.

  • Publication number: 20140087732
    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: 8660096
    Abstract: There is provided a mobile station device capable of reducing processing of cell search. In this device, an FFT timing detection unit (603) detects a symbol timing and a frame timing detection unit (606) detects a frame timing by using the frame timing detection symbol. After a frame timing is detected, a code group detection unit (608) detects a code group and a scrambling code identification unit (610) identifies a scrambling code. That is, the frame timing detection process is separated from the code group detection process and after detecting the frame timing, a symbol timing multiplied by the code group sequence is identified so that the code group is detected only at the symbol timing.

  • Publication number: 20130315075
    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.

  • Publication number: 20130250896
    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.

  • Patent number: 8515426
    Abstract: In a user equipment (UE)(100), a handover from a macro cell base station (eNB)(200) to a CSG cell base station (HeNB)(300) is controlled based on a result of comparison between reception quality from the eNB (200) and reception quality from the HeNB (300) located in a macro cell. The UE (100) comprises: a reception quality measurement unit (104) for measuring the reception quality of the eNB (200) and the reception quality of the HeNB (300); an offsetting unit (106) for offsetting the reception quality of the HeNB (300) with an offset value that makes the reception quality of the HeNB (300) relatively higher than the reception quality of the eNB (200); and an offset value correcting unit (105) for correcting the offset value according to the reception quality of the eNB (200). A user equipment is thereby provided in which handover control can be performed with an appropriate offset value that takes into consideration interference in the uplink from the user equipment to the base station.

  • Patent number: 8472412
    Abstract: Provided are a base station device and a mobile station device, which can lighten a cell-search processing. The base station device (100) includes a frame constitution unit (130) for forming a frame, in which a pilot symbol multiplied by a base station scrambling code assigned to that device 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 (155) for sending the formed frame. On the receiving side of the frame, 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, so that the cell search processing can be lightened.

  • Publication number: 20130155990
    Abstract: This base station is capable of suppressing degradation of data throughput even when a DCI for a terminal connected to the base station is transmitted via an R-PDCCH region. In this base station, a PDCCH generation unit (104) generates control information transmitted via a first control channel that is mapped to the same resource region as a resource region to which data for the terminal (200) is allocated, or control information transmitted via a second control channel that is mapped to a resource region that differs from the abovementioned resource region. A transmission RF unit (112) transmits the generated control information. Here, the amount of control information in the first control channel is less than the amount of control information in the second control channel.

  • Publication number: 20130136029
    Abstract: A macrocell base station controls to reduce interference between cells by a downlink signal of the macrocell base station with specific timing, the interference which a downlink signal of a low transmission power cell suffers for a wireless terminal. A low transmission power cell base station decides measurement timing with which the wireless terminal measures reception quality of the low transmission power cell based on information about the specific timing, and sends a setting message including a parameter according to the measurement timing to the wireless terminal. The wireless terminal measures reception quality with the measurement timing indicated by the parameter, and when the wireless terminal satisfies a condition for executing an event based on the measured result, the wireless terminal sends a reception quality measurement message including information indicating that the measurement is made with the measurement timing to the low transmission power cell base station.

  • Publication number: 20130130686
    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.
