Abstract: Rerouting of packet exchanges by a mobile terminal is controlled so as to be optimized on a real time basis to prevent network resources from being wasted by redundant routing. In an initial state a route of data from a mobile communication terminal M to a CN 8, which is a communication partner, is a route R5. Then, an access router (AR) 72 acquires the number of hops of data received from the CN 8 by the mobile communication terminal M. As the mobile communication terminal M now performs a handover to under the command of the AR 73, the route will change to a route R9. Then the AR 73 detects that the route becomes redundant by the fact that the number of hops acquired after the shift is greater than the pre-shift number of hops received from the AR 72, and invokes control to reroute to a route R7, which provides the optimal routing.

Abstract: A plasma display driving method capable of displaying a vigorous image having enhanced maximum luminance and contrast. For this purpose, one field is divided into a plurality of sub-fields each including a sustain period. In the sustain period, the number of sustain pulses obtained by multiplying a proportionality factor by a brightness weight set for each of the sub-fields are applied to display electrode pairs to generate sustaining discharge in discharge cells having generated addressing discharge therein. Thus, the total number of the sustain pulses in one field period can be changed. When a predetermined image meeting predetermined conditions is displayed, the total number of the sustain pulses in one field period is made larger than those in the case where the other normal images are displayed.
