  • Patent number: 7130287
    Abstract: In a radio communication system having narrow-band up- and down-link radio channels and a wide-band down-link radio channel, when a radio terminal is to receive data through the wide-band down-link radio channel, the narrow-band up- and down-link radio channels are assigned to the radio terminal in advance. With this operation, communication an be performed by using the wide-band down-link radio channel. In addition, the narrow-band up- and down-link radio channels can be used as radio channels for performing control to efficiently transmit data by using the wide-band down-link radio channel.

  • Patent number: 5940769
    Abstract: In a radio communication system, communication for sending data from a transmitting station to a receiving station and communication for transmitting re-send data from the transmitting station to the receiving station according to the re-send request transmitted from the receiving station to the transmitting station are done on different occasions of communication. Hence, in the applications not requiring real time service, this re-send control method does not spend the power and radio resources wastefully, and by effectively utilizing the system resources and lowering the power consumption, the battery of the terminal may be reduced in size, so that the portability of the terminal may be enhanced.

  • Patent number: 5802469
    Abstract: A portable terminal includes a first store for storing a first physical address including a serial number of the terminal, a second store for storing a first logical address including a subscriber's telephone number, a third store for storing a second physical address of a hardware used for computer communication, a fourth store for storing a second logical address corresponding to the second physical address, an interface for radio LAN, and an interface for PHS system. When a call is originated, a first channel is connected by using the first physical address and the first logical address. The second physical address and the second logical address are transmitted to the network from the call originator's terminal through the first channel, thereby setting in a state enabling communication between computers, and necessary data is transmitted to the call originator's terminal through a second channel by communication between computers.
