  • Patent number: 12273759
    Abstract: Provided is a communication system capable of suppressing, under communication environment including a plurality of cells, degradation in communication quality and decrease in communication rate and communication capacity due to interference from the other cells. Each of the cells includes a plurality of antenna elements, and performs radio communication with a communication terminal device through the antenna elements. Each of the cells notifies the other cells of settings for measuring channel information on a channel for performing radio communication of its own cell. Each of the cells may notify a communication terminal device being served thereby of the settings for measuring the channel information of its own cell. Here, the communication terminal device measures the channel information based on the settings notified from each of the cells, and reports a result of the measured channel information to a corresponding one of the cells when the result satisfies a predetermined reporting condition.

  • Publication number: 20250106610
    Abstract: A U2N relay (110 #2) transmits a first sidelink discovery message containing base-station identification information of a base station (130) when the U2N relay (110 #2) is in communication range with the base station (130). When a U2U relay (110 #3) is in communication range with the U2N relay (110 #2) and not in communication range with the base station (130), the U2U relay (110 #3) receives the first sidelink discovery message and transmits a second sidelink discovery message containing mobile-terminal-device identification information of the U2N relay (110 #2) and base-station identification the information. When a remote UE (110 #1) is in communication range with the U2U relay (110 #3) and no in communication range with the base station (130) and the U2N relay (110 #2), the remote UE (110 #1) receives the second sidelink discovery message and establishes communication path to communicate with the base station (130) via the U2U relay (110 #3) and the U2N relay (110 #2).

  • Publication number: 20250106825
    Abstract: In a communication system according to the present invention, a UE and an Men perform both a direct communication and a communication through a SeNB. Along with moving of the UE, a handover process of switching the MeNB to which the UE is connected, from an S-MeNB to a T-MeNB is performed. The connection between the UE and the SeNB is maintained during the handover process. The UE starts transmitting data to the SeNB before a communication path between the UE and the MeNB is changed from a path formed by the S-MeNB and the UE to a path formed by the T-MeNB and the UE.

  • Patent number: 12232078
    Abstract: The present invention has an object to provide a communication system capable of avoiding congestion in downlink communication or uplink communication and a shortage of radio resources arising therefrom. In the present invention, in a communication system including a normal user equipment (normal UE) that performs human to human communication and a machine type communication device (MTCD) that performs machine to machine communication, a base station device transmits a paging message to the normal UE and the MTCD for calling the normal UE and the MTCD. The paging message contains, for example, an equipment identity (UE-ID). A maximum number of equipment identities (UE-IDs) that can be accommodated within this paging message is set individually for the normal UE and the MTCD. Alternatively, the paging message contains a calling indicator in place of the equipment identity of the MTCD (UE-ID of MTCD).

  • Patent number: 12185239
    Abstract: A communication system capable of preventing unnecessary switching of an energy saving cell between a normal operation state and an energy saving state. An energy saving cell (ES cell) is in a dormant state that is the energy saving state. In this case, when being notified of a wake-up request message from a communication terminal device (UE), the ES cell executes access restriction control to judge whether the UE can access its own cell. If judging that the UE can access its own cell, the ES cell switches on its own cell and shifts from the dormant state to an active state that is the normal operation state.
