Patent number: 7742761Abstract: In a mobile communication system, a base station controller has a handoff information management table for storing distance information for each mobile station notified from each of base stations and a detection unit for updating the handoff information management table each time a new handoff information was received from the base stations and detecting any of the mobile stations that is moving out of a service area into an out-of-communication range. The detection unit performs the out-of-range detection by selecting any of the mobile stations currently communicative only with one or more of the border cell base stations as a detection target and comparing the distance information in the handoff information management table with a predetermined threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2006Date of Patent: June 22, 2010Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Tsuyoshi Taniguchi, Masato Inagaki

Publication number: 20050162994Abstract: By obtaining a two-wavelength optical device which can cancel the optical-path difference due to the difference of the wavelengths occurred when two wavelength elements are integrated in one unit, the deterioration of a reproduction signal of an optical disk which may be produced by the optical-path difference is suppressed. In a two-wavelength optical device (1) for reading from and writing to an optical disk and including a plurality of light emitting elements (3), (5) for emitting laser lights (17) having different wavelengths to the optical disk, and a light receiving element (13) for receiving a return light from the optical disk, the respective light emitting elements (3), (5) are arranged at relative positions where the optical-path difference appears due to the difference between the different wavelengths, is cancelled.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2003Publication date: July 28, 2005Inventor: Masato Inagaki

Patent number: 6912391Abstract: A method of controlling hand over that reliably performs SHO even when there exists discrepancy between a range of a cell or sector and a range in which communication is possible. A reference value, which is compared with a received level of a perch channel signal for judging timing of starting and ending SHO, is corrected by using a correction value prepared for each combination of an SHO source cell and an SHO destination cell. The reference value is corrected such that SHO is started when the mobile station 10 arrives at a range in which the mobile station 10 can communicate with a base station 21 that covers the SHO destination candidate cell, and the hand over is ended when the mobile station 10 comes out of a range in which the mobile station 10 can communicate with a base station that covers the SHO source cell.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2001Date of Patent: June 28, 2005Assignees: Hitachi, Ltd., KDDI CorporationInventors: Satoshi Masuda, Shirou Mazawa, Manabu Yoshimura, Masato Inagaki, Yoshio Takauchi, Akira Yamaguchi
