  • Patent number: 8442530
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device that includes a radio network control device operable to control a plurality of radio base stations. Also included is a grouping processing unit operable to group into a same group many mobile devices that perform handover to a specific radio base station in a predetermined period. Furthermore, the device includes an identification information notifying unit operable to, when a mobile device performs handover to the radio base station, notify the radio base station of identification information of the mobile device and identification information of one or more other mobile devices belonging to the same group.

  • Patent number: 8391867
    Abstract: A first base station apparatus, when newly installed, extracts cells of a second base station apparatus and its coverage cells neighboring them from neighboring cell information stored therein. The first base station apparatus notifies the second base station apparatus of the cells by a notification message. The second base station apparatus updates neighboring cell information stored therein based on the notification message. The first base station apparatus also sends a notification message to a third base station apparatus so that the third base station apparatus updates neighboring cell information stored therein.

  • Patent number: 8359035
    Abstract: A wireless base station includes a candidate-cell obtaining unit that obtains a plurality of wireless communication route candidates usable for wireless communication of a mobile station with wireless base stations; a candidate-cell extracting unit that determines whether a wireless communication route candidate via which wireless communication can be performed is included in a plurality of wireless communication route candidates managed by the wireless base station itself from among the obtained wireless communication route candidates; a self-station determining unit; and a handover preparing unit that, when wireless communication can be performed via at least any of the wireless communication route candidates managed by the wireless base station itself according to the result of determination, notifies a wireless base station with which the mobile station is in wireless communication that wireless communication can be performed with the mobile station.

  • Patent number: 6366560
    Abstract: A route selection service control system for selecting an optimum one of routes connecting an originating-side terminal to each of terminals owned by an identical subscriber and connected to respective communication networks operated by different telecommunication carriers. On receiving the identification number of a terminating-side subscriber, a reading unit refers to terminal type storing unit and reads out the terminal types and terminal numbers of a plurality of terminating-side terminals associated with the identification number. A position information acquiring unit acquires the current positions of the terminating-side terminals. A distance calculating unit calculates the distance between the position of an originating-side terminal and the current position of each of the terminating-side terminals.
