Abstract: A communication system is provided that, if a large number of small cells are installed, is capable of configuring an operation suitable for small cells through simple operation and administration. If a small cell installed in Step ST1401 judges in Step ST1403 that a coverage macro cell, which includes the small cell in the coverage of the coverage macro cell, is present as a result of neighbor cell search in Step ST1402, notifies the coverage macro cell and another neighbor cell of its own capability in Steps ST1404 and 1405. The coverage macro cell selects a configuration parameter suitable for the capability of the small cell in Step ST1406 and notifies the small cell in Step ST1407. The small cell recognizes an operation mode configured by the coverage macro cell from the configuration parameter notified from the coverage macro cell, and then, starts operating in the operation mode.

When receiving information for small cells, for example, emergency information from a CBC via an MME, at least one cell of the macro cell and the small cell notifies the communication terminal device connected with the at least one cell of the information for small cells.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a communication system capable of preventing a base station device from being occupied by specific communication terminal devices and preventing a situation in which the base station device cannot accommodate other communication terminal devices. In the present invention, in Step ST1403, a HeNB_A notifies UEs being served thereby of the MTCD restriction information indicating the operation of restricting MTCDs. Among the UEs that have received the MTCD restriction information in Step ST1404, an MTCD operates in accordance with the MTCD restriction information. Specifically, in Step ST1406, the MTCD judges whether or not the MTCD can select, as a suitable cell, a cell judged to satisfy cell selection criteria in Step ST1402. In a case of judging that the cell can be selected, the MTCD selects the cell as a suitable cell in Step ST1407.

Abstract: In a communication system, an eNB and a UE transmit and receive a UE monitoring message for confirming the state of the UE in a predetermined UE monitoring period. For example, in UE monitoring periods, a UE monitoring procedure is performed, so that the UE transmits the UE monitoring message to the eNB. Upon receipt of the UE monitoring message, the eNB transmits delivery confirmation information to the UE. The UE monitoring period is set as, for example, a period shorter than a TAU period. This allows the UE monitoring process to confirm the state of the UE even if the TAU period is lengthened. The eNB may transmit the UE monitoring message to the UE.

Abstract: A communication system capable of a stable communication operation between a base station device and a communication terminal device. A UE is configured to communicate with an MeNB directly or through a SeNB. The UE is set to transmit, to the MeNB and the SeNB, transmission data addressed to the MeNB when an amount of the transmission data exceeds a predetermined threshold. The UE is set to transmit the transmission data not to the SeNB but to the MeNB when the amount is smaller than or equal to the threshold. The threshold is changed so that the transmission data is transmitted to the MeNB and the SeNB, when the SeNB is set to communicate with the UE with radio resources periodically allocated and the amount of the transmission data is smaller than or equal to the threshold.
