  • Publication number: 20110286344
    Abstract: When a terminal switches systems, if many users have their terminals already connected to destination wireless communication system and the resource use rate of destination system is high, other users have to reduce resources to meet a QoS to be delivered to the user. When resource allocation is controlled based on QoS, the resources are controlled for meeting a requested QoS. Therefore, even if a larger magnitude of a resource than a necessary magnitude thereof is allocated based on radio environment, there is no way of reducing the resource. This situation deteriorates the performance of the systems. An access point or a gateway is provided with a facility that measures a quality of experience (QoE), which a user perceives for an application, for system switching. The QoE of the user concerned and a QoE of whole systems are calculated. If the QoEs are improved, the systems are switched.

  • Publication number: 20100184432
    Abstract: It is provided a mobile communication system comprising base stations, call control servers and access gateways. The call control servers cause a mobile terminal accommodated in one of the control server to transmit the location registration request so that the mobile terminal accommodates in another control server according to a processing amount of control signals. The base station selects a second call control server into which the one of the mobile terminals is to be newly accommodated. The one of the call control server switches to a power-saving state after the mobile terminal is accommodated into the another call control server.

  • Publication number: 20100062787
    Abstract: The present invention implements communication control with user's service subscription information reflected in a mobile communication network. A QoS control server for providing a communication quality control function of a network, a user information management server for managing user's service information, a service proxy server for transferring a service control message transmitted by a user to a service control server, a service relay server for relaying a message between service control servers in two different networks, and a service control server for exercising service control based on user service information are included. In user service start processing, the service control server or service relay server transmits a service control message inclusive of service subscription information acquired beforehand to the service proxy server. The QoS control server acquires the service subscription information from the service proxy server.

  • Publication number: 20100020812
    Abstract: A communication system comprising a home server, an access gateway, and a policy server, wherein the policy server transmits, to the first access gateway, a link creation request for associating a communication path of the first terminal and a communication path of the second terminal; and the access gateway sets a fifth communication path which connects the first communication path and the third communication path upon receiving the link creation request, records information on the set fifth communication path in the communication path management information, and transmits the data from the first terminal via the first communication path to the second terminal via the fifth communication path and the third communication path based on the communication path management information.

  • Publication number: 20090313366
    Abstract: When receiving a session control signal from a terminal (12), a terminal accommodating apparatus (11) disposed for each line adds the identifier of an access line to the received session control signal and then transmits the resultant signal to a session control server (3). The session control server (3) transmits the access line identifier to a QoS control server (5). The QoS control server (5) performs a QoS control based on a band requested in the session associated with the identifier of the same access line.

  • Publication number: 20090270111
    Abstract: To appropriately set the location registration area according to the installation location of the femto base station. Provided is a base station accommodation server that is coupled to a location management server accommodating at least one of first base station coupled to a first communication network, and accommodates at least one of second base station connected to a second communication network. The base station is configured to determine a location management group identifier of the second base station based on a location management group identifier of the first base station that is present at a location from which the second base station can receive the location management group identifier broadcast by the first base station.

  • Publication number: 20080310334
    Abstract: Disclosed herewith is a communication system, which can solve the following conventional problem that if packets exchanged between a terminal and an HA are encapsulated with use of the mobile IPv6 protocol, the PDSN cannot identify any IP flows in the mobile IPv6 tunnel. Consequently, there is no QoS usable appropriately to the services in the EV-D0 RAN. To solve such a problem, the PCRF notifies the HA of the filter information used to specify each IP flow and the flow label assigned to each IP flow. The HA then sets the flow label in the outer IPv6 header of the packet matching with the filter information and transfers the packet to the object unit. The PDSN then refers to the flow label set in the outer IPv6 header to identify the object IP flow in the mobile IPv6 tunnel. Consequently, a proper QoS can be usable for the services respectively in the EV-D0 RAN.

  • Publication number: 20080227450
    Abstract: A public mobile terminal can use both of a public mobile communication service and an extension service while protecting an SIP message by an IP sec. An indoor call control apparatus that receives an INVITE message from the public mobile terminal has a destination determination table that determines whether the called terminal is an indoor terminal, or not. When the terminal is the indoor terminal, a Route header is deleted from the INVITE message, and the message is transmitted to the called terminal. When the called terminal is not the indoor terminal, the INVITE message is transmitted to an S-CSCF of a calling terminal on the basis of the contents of the Route header.
