  • Patent number: 8242902
    Abstract: Disclosed is an urgent message transmission system. In the system, when a disaster warning message is received from a network provider, an originating terminal transmits the received disaster warning message to a preset urgent message recipient according to a user's request. Further, a terminating terminal having received an urgent message from the originating terminal transmits the received urgent message to a preset urgent message recipient according to a user's request. Accordingly, when an urgent message is received from a provider or a specific user, it is possible to quickly transfer the contents of the received urgent message to other users without recreating a separate urgent message.

  • Publication number: 20120115474
    Abstract: In a method for deciding an unregistered macrocell user equipment (MUE) adjacent to a femtocell base station (home evolved node B; HeNB), a macrocell base station (macro evolved node B; MeNB) decides occurrence of an unregistered MUE influenced by interference from a HeNB among MUEs. The MeNB requests an adjacent HeNB to transmit system information (SI) of the adjacent HeNB of which interference has influence on the unregistered MUE, and the unregistered MUE searches for the SI of the adjacent HeNB and transmits the searched SI to the MeNB, when it is decided that the unregistered MUE has occurred. The MeNB informs the adjacent HeNB of existence of the unregistered MUE using a closed subscriber group identifier (CSG ID) of the SI of the adjacent HeNB, transmitted from the unregistered MUE.
