Abstract: A mobile terminal communicating with a plurality of cells, including a serving cell, has a control unit. The control unit performs at least one control of (a) a first control for causing a path search unit to detect a path for the serving cell more preferentially than paths for cells other than the serving cell, (b) a second control for causing a finger assignment unit to assign a path detected for the serving cell preferentially over paths detected for cells other than the serving cell to a plurality of fingers, and (c) a third control for causing a reference frequency adjustment unit to adjust reference frequency so that the reference frequency is approximated to reference frequency of a base station controlling the serving cell.

Abstract: A mobile terminal has a communication unit for performing wireless communication, a plurality of modem units for performing modulation and demodulation in different communication methods, respectively, and a control unit for obtaining time information indicating a suspension of a wireless communication from a main modem unit in the plurality of modem units, for suspending the main modem unit from performing wireless communication via the communication unit, and for enabling the main modem unit to perform wireless communication via the communication unit on the basis of the time information, wherein, while the main modem unit suspending wireless communication, the control unit enables a sub modem unit in the plurality of modem units to measure a reception level via the communication unit in accordance with the obtained time information.

Abstract: In a mobile communication system in which a compressed mode can be activated at the time of hand over, or when a base station which the mobile station is in communication with is switched to another base station, the distance between the mobile station and at least one of the plurality of base stations which is currently in communication with the mobile station is measured; and the activation of the compressed mode is controlled according to the measured distance. The activation of a compressed mode is controlled according to the distance between the base station and the mobile station.

Abstract: When it is detected that a CRC check is acceptable in Blind Transport Format Detection (BTFD) processing, the BTFD processing is halted from this moment onward, the number of bits of voice code of each class is decided based upon the bit rate of each class in a bit-rate combination that prevails when the CRC check is acceptable, the voice code of each class is demultiplexed from receive data based upon the number of bits and the demultiplexed voice code is input to a voice codec.

Abstract: A receiving side compares measured quality of received data with target quality and performs variable control of a target SIR, as well as, compares that target SIR with measured SIR and transmits transmission-power information (TPC information) that is created based on the comparison result to a transmitting side, then the transmitting side performs control of the transmission power based on that transmission power control information. Furthermore, the receiving side monitors whether the transmission power has reached a limit, and stops update of the target SIR when the transmission power has reached the limit. Also, when the communication environment changes and it becomes possible to perform transmission power control, the receiving side restarts variable control of the target SIR.
