Publication number: 20180041904Abstract: A service allocation determination device and service allocation determination method that can allocate a service to a slice without wasteful use of resources. In a BSS/OSS, a service request receiving unit receives service requirements and information indicating functions for implementing a service. An allocation determination unit, using the service requirements and slice information, determines whether to allocate the service to an existing slice or to a new slice. An allocation request unit makes a request to allocate the service to the slice determined by the allocation determination unit. In this case, because the BSS/OSS 10 determines whether to allocate the service to an existing slice or to a new slice based on the service requirements and the attribute of the existing slice, the service can be allocated to a slice without wasteful use of resources.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2016Publication date: February 8, 2018Applicant: NTT DOCOMO, INC.Inventors: Takuya SHIMOJOU, Motoshi TAMURA, Yusuke TAKANO, Ashiq KHAN, Shigeru IWASHINA

Publication number: 20170206115Abstract: A system and a method that can allocate a service to a slice without wasteful use of resources. A storing unit stores a function connection table. A function information acquisition unit acquires the function connection information, and a function extraction unit extracts a common function to a plurality of slices by using the function connection information. A slice having the extracted function is created by a resource request unit and a function addition request unit. A service allocation unit generates, for the created slice, function connection information based on function information indicating the extracted function and execution device information indicating a device that executes the function. The service allocation unit rewrites connection device information in each of function connection information of slices having the common function into execution device information in the generated function connection information.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2016Publication date: July 20, 2017Applicant: NTT DOCOMO, INC.Inventors: Takuya SHIMOJOU, Yusuke TAKANO, Motoshi TAMURA, Ashiq KHAN

Publication number: 20170208019Abstract: A slice management system and a slice management method that can dynamically adjust the amount of resources when the amount of resources is insufficient to create a slice. A storing unit of a NFVO stores slice utilization status information. In a BSS/OSS, an allocation determination unit determines to create a new slice or extend an existing slice, and when resources for creation of a new slice or extension of an existing slice are insufficient, a resource change determination unit determines a slice for reduction based on the slice utilization status information. A resource request unit of the NFVO reduces resources of the determined slice.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2016Publication date: July 20, 2017Applicant: NTT DOCOMO, INC.Inventors: Takuya SHIMOJOU, Yusuke TAKANO, Motoshi TAMURA, Ashiq KHAN

Patent number: 8542835Abstract: When a network pages the temporary user mobile identifier of a mobile station, the mobile station sends a response to the network. Next, the network checks the authenticity of the user using a ciphering key, corresponding to the temporary user mobile identifier and a random number. If the temporary user mobile identifier is authenticated, a normal incoming call acceptance procedure is executed. If the mobile station is authenticated although the temporary user mobile identifier is wrong, the network reassigns a new temporary user mobile identifier to the mobile station and stops the current communication. In communication, the network and the mobile station mutually notify encipherment-onset time and negotiate about encipherment manner with each other. In addition, diversity handover is commenced upon a call attempt. Furthermore, if a branch replacement is necessary, the current branch is replaced by new branches capable of executing the diversity handover.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2009Date of Patent: September 24, 2013Assignee: NTT DoCoMo, Inc.Inventors: Motoshi Tamura, Mutsumaru Miki, Akiko Okamoto, Kenya Kusunose, Akihiro Uchikoshi, Daisuke Igarashi, Katsuhiko Yamagata, Takaaki Sato, Junichiro Hagiwara, Yasuyuki Watanabe, Takuya Hamajima, Masafumi Hata, Nobutaka Ishikawa, Yoshiyuki Yasuda, Kazufumi Yunoki, Nobuhide Uchiyama
