Abstract: A closed subscriber group (CSG) cell is a cell that allows use of subscribers. In order to receive the service by the CSG cell, a CSG-ID is required to be notified to a user equipment, which cannot be obtained in a situation outside the reach of radio waves from a non-CSG cell. In a mobile communication system including base stations respectively provided to a CSG cell and a non-CSG cell in which access is made to the CSG cell with the use of a CSG-ID issued in a case where use of the CSG cell is allowed, the base station provided in the CSG cell refers to the notified identification information of a user equipment and then transmits a tracking area update request from the user equipment to a core network, and the core network determines whether the user equipment is allowed to use the CSG cell and, in the case where the use is allowed, transmits a signal for allowing assignment of radio resources to the user equipment and the CSG-ID. The user equipment accesses the CSG cell with the use of the CSG-ID.

Abstract: In a mobile communication system according to the present invention, with the separate use of a plurality of component carriers or with the use of a carrier set including the plurality of component carriers aggregated, a base station performs radio communication with a user equipment corresponding to the component carrier or a user equipment corresponding to the aggregated carriers. In particular, in a case where the base station performs radio communication with the user equipment corresponding to the aggregated carriers with the use of the aggregated carriers, each of a plurality of transport blocks created by dividing a transport channel is transmitted per each of the plurality of component carriers constituting the aggregated carriers, and control information related to radio communication between the base station and the user equipment corresponding to the aggregated carriers is transmitted such that physical information of the corresponding component carrier is identifiable.

Abstract: A communication system includes a user equipment and a base station, in which a protocol stack between the user equipment and the base station includes PDCP, RLC, MAC and PHY. The base station includes a first node and one or more second nodes, the first node terminates the PDCP, each of the second nodes terminates the RLC, the MAC and the PHY. The base station is configured to perform radio communication with the user equipment that terminates the PDCP, the RLC, the MAC and the PHY.

Abstract: A battery includes a battery element, a housing body, and a valve device. The housing body is constituted by at least one laminate including at least a base material layer, a barrier layer, and a heat-sealable resin layer layered in that order and houses the battery element. The valve device is in communication with the inside of the housing body. A joined edge portion in which the mutually facing heat-sealable resin layers are fused together is formed in a peripheral edge portion of the housing body. The valve device includes a first portion and a second portion. A valve mechanism configured to reduce the internal pressure of the housing body if the internal pressure is increased due to gas generated in the housing body is formed in the first portion. An air passage configured to guide gas generated in the housing body toward the valve mechanism is formed in the second portion. The first portion is located on an outer side of an edge of the joined edge portion.

Abstract: A battery includes a battery element, a housing body, and a valve device. The housing body houses the battery element. The valve device is in communication with the inside of the housing body. Heat-sealable resin layers face each other in a peripheral edge portion of the housing body. A joined edge portion in which the mutually facing heat-sealable resin layers are fused together is formed in the peripheral edge portion of the housing body. The valve device is configured to reduce an internal pressure of the housing body if the internal pressure is increased due to gas generated in the housing body. The valve device includes a first portion that is located on an outer side of an edge of the joined edge portion and a second portion that is sandwiched between the heat-sealable resin layers in the joined edge portion.
