  • Publication number: 20130315130
    Abstract: With an MBMS bearer service, information about an MBMS bearer which allocates and establishes MBMS bearer resources is included in an MBMS bearer context, with a base station device (NB) transmitting a confirmation message containing a service identifier to mobile station devices (UE) and, based on responses from the mobile station devices (UE), counting the number of mobile station devices (UE) participating in multicast data distribution. In the event that the number counted is 0, an MBMS registration deletion request for the multicast data is transmitted to an SGSN. Thus, by stipulating a control method using the counting function of the base station device to efficiently allocate network resources, a mobile communication system or the like capable of effectively using the network resources can be provided.

  • Patent number: 4888586
    Abstract: A very useful data transmission system having a plurality of transmission modules connected to a single cable in a multidrop manner is disclosed herein. The system features its ability to check the transmission state at the level of individual modules through use of a proper code notation (typically, Manchester code). The system detects a specific module with proper signals lasting at the same level for more than a given time, except cable outputs, and treats it as involving a faulty condition and compels the transmission state to a halt, thus preventing only the faulty module or modules from transmitting signals thereby avoiding breakdown of the whole system.

  • Patent number: 4745392
    Abstract: A signal transmission system over building or house wiring includes noise reduction circuit to reduce noise including asynchronous noise and synchronous noise. Received pulses are sampled in a given interval and the number of continous pulses in question during the sampling interval is counted. The pulses in question are ignored as noise if the number of pulse counting is less than a predetermined reference count and the pulses are treated as true signals if the number is more than said reference count.

  • Patent number: 4737783
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an emergency access method in which in the event that an emergency data occurring at a particular terminal is fed immediately to a central system but collides with any emergency data from a different terminal such collision is sensed and a signal in that data is delayed in a random number manner through the use of an appropriate random number generating algorithm in order to avoid such collision within a short length of time.

  • Patent number: 4719620
    Abstract: A signal transmission system which constantly allows data with the top priority to pass preceding others in a bus-type network. In transmitting a packet consisting of a plurality of start-synchronized frames, the bus is monitored for a predetermined period after the first frame transmission. If a frame-start signal is detected during this predetermined period, the next frame is promptly transmitted synchronously with the detected frame-start signal. If no frame-start signal is detected during this period, the next frame is transmitted immediately after the predetermined period elapses. As a result, each frame by a transmitting terminal starts at the same time as that by another terminal. Therefore, so long as the clock pulse error between the different terminals is small enough to permit a frame transmission, the terminals can detect collision for each frame. As soon as either of the terminals detects collision, it stops data transmission, whereby a packet with the top priority is always permitted to pass.

  • Patent number: 4675668
    Abstract: A data transmission method over building wiring includes a plurality of transmission sections. One of these sections is selected from the plurality of transmission sections to be a data transmission source machine for providing data. The data is transmitted from the data transmission source to the remaining transmission sections. If a transmission section is not selected it is used to relay the data to one of the remaining transmission sections wherein it is received by a final data transmission section. A data transmission section used in the method, comprises a data receiving part for receiving the transmitted data, a relay counter part for counting the number of relaying the transmitted data, and data relaying part for steps of relaying the-received data.

  • Patent number: 4622478
    Abstract: A signal transmission system utilizes the building or house wiring as the data transmission line. A frequency detection system is required to detect a frequency of the power voltage. The frequency detection system includes a zero-crossing detection circuit for developing a detection output when the zero-crossing is detected. A timer element is provided in the frequency detection system, which functions to neglect an output signal from the zero-crossing detection circuit for a preselected period of time after the last detection output has been developed from the zero-crossing detection circuit.

  • Patent number: 4611274
    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a data transmission system via the power supply line wherein it is characterized in that; it effectively controls branching terminal units connected to the CPU via the power supply line, by transmitting a high frequency AC signal that is mixed into the AC commercial frequency via the power supply line, while it normally surveilles the actual status of terminal units during normal operations. According to this system as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, after sampling data via the poling, a specific AC commercial frequency cyclic period can be allocated in order to properly transmit any emergency data between terminal units via a contention, and as a result, even in the slow-speed transmission line, not only any change of condition occurring in the terminal units can quickly be sent to the central processing unit, but all the control signals from the central processing unit can also be sent to respective terminal units without being held for waiting.

  • Patent number: 4554532
    Abstract: A centralized monitor system can be automatically controlled so that the signal receiving levels in each component of the system can be held at an optimum position even in the presence of noise components, since they are totally free from any failure caused by the noise interference. More particularly, the monitor panel as part of the centralized monitor system collects and displays any alarm information detected by any of the sub units constituting part of the system while using the indoor power line as the data transmission path, enabling the centralized monitor system to generate an alarm upon receipt of such alarm information from the monitor panel, while the automatic receiver gain controller, in responding to an answer back instruction periodically output by the monitor panel, properly controls both the monitor panel and sub units so that both will remain in such positions where their incoming signal levels can be held optimum even under presence of a variety of noise components.

  • Patent number: 4528677
    Abstract: A data transmission system including a pair of parallel transmission lines, applies data signals to the transmission lines through a transformer and an associated impedance connected across the lines. The transformer is magnetically coupled to at least one of the lines to apply a signal current thereto. The signal current is transferred to the other line through the impedance. The impedance is tuned to the transmission frequency so that it has a very low value during data transmission.

  • Patent number: 4210848
    Abstract: For a thin-film EL display panel which exhibits the hysteresis loop phenomenon in the applied voltage versus brightness relationship, a string of alternating sustain pulses are applied, the amplitude of which is chosen at the voltage level appearing at the point in the hysteresis loop characteristics where the difference between the minimum light brightness on the voltage increasing curve and the maximum light brightness on the voltage decreasing curve is substantially a maximum. A flash lamp, for example, a xenon lamp which releases light beams toward the thin-film EL display panel, is energized in synchronism with the application period and pause period of the alternating sustain pulses. There are provided means for controlling the application period of the alternating sustain pulses and the illumination period of the flash lamp in accordance with the light activated write mode or erase mode.
