Abstract: After sensor nodes are deployed, when an edge node accommodating individual sensor nodes has entered a high-load state, the load is distributed to a low-load edge node receiving the same semantic information.

Abstract: When a mobile terminal (10a) moves from an access network (21a) to another access network (21c), the unique information on destination of the mobile terminal (10a) in an access router (20c) is transferred as alternate information from an access router (20a) to a home agent (30a). The access router (20c) transfers the unique information on destination of the mobile terminal (10a) in the access router (20a) as original information to the home agent (30a) and at the same time transfers the unique information on destination of the mobile terminal (10a) in the access router (20c) as alternate information to the home agent (30a). Using these data, the home agent (30a) builds security association for the mobile terminal (10a) between the access router (20c) and the home agent (30a).

Abstract: In a mobile network of the present invention, a mobile terminal handed over from one network to another network reports its destination and QoS (Quality of Service) information to an IP (Internet Protocol) node to which the mobile terminal is usually connected. The IP node transfers encapsulated IP packets or IP packets with an updated IP address to the destination of the mobile network via a path matching with a QoS class. The mobile network therefore implements end-to-end data communication with guaranteed QoS.

Abstract: An AAL2 packet exchange device is placed in front of an ATM switch for executing CPS packet re-multiplexing into ATM cells. The AAL2 packet exchange device extracts CPS-PDUs (Common Part Sublayer-Protocol Data Units) from ATM cells which are supplied from input ATM lines, extracts CPS packets from the CPS-PDUs, alters CIDs (Channel IDentifiers) of the CPS packets if necessary so that CID collision will not occur between CPS packets supplied from different sources to be outputted to the same output ATM connection, multiplexes the CPS packets to be outputted to the same output ATM connection in ATM cells of the same output ATM connection. The CID alteration is executed by referring to a path setting table which stores each correspondence between a first internal address for discriminating between input ATM connections, an input CID, a second internal address for discriminating between output ATM connections, and an output CID.

Abstract: A base station in a mobile communication system, which enables maintenance of a normal transmission interval of data output, and effective usage of bands, is disclosed. Quality checking part provided in a base station BS rejects those data which the base station has failed to receive in a good receiving state. Instead, quality checking part inserts an invalid data shorter than a valid data. In this way, a vacancy is created in the relevant band or slot correspondingly to a difference between the length of a valid data length and the length of an invalid or dummy data length. This vacant band can be utilized by another user, resulting in that the utilization efficiency of link between the base station and an MSC (Mobile Switching Center) is improved.
