  • Patent number: 9565597
    Abstract: In a mobile communication system, a mobile station receives intermittently a channel transmitted by a first or second base station through a relay station. Herein, the relay station, before execution of a handover for switching a connection destination of its own station from the first base station to the second base station, transmits information on the second base station. The mobile station, based on the information on the second base station received from the relay station before the handover, controls a timing for receiving the channel from the relay station after the handover.

  • Patent number: 9520937
    Abstract: In a radio communication system a first radio station performs communication by the use of a first radio signal. A second radio station receives a second radio signal which is indistinguishable from the first radio signal. A third radio station is in a radio communication area of the first radio station and a radio communication area of the second radio station. A communication format conversion unit generates a third radio signal by converting a communication format of the second radio signal to a communication format which is distinguishable from the first radio signal, and communicates with the third radio station by the use of the third radio signal.
