  • Patent number: 11871275
    Abstract: An MEC node acquires, from each base station, a measured traffic volume in a cell (target cell) formed by each base station, and predicts a traffic volume after a unit time in the target cell based on the measured traffic volume. Upon receiving from a vehicle in the target cell an inquiry regarding whether or not data transmission is permitted, the MEC node determines whether or not to permit data transmission by the vehicle, based on a prediction result of the traffic volume, and a volume of data to be transmitted by the vehicle which is indicated by information included in the inquiry. In accordance with a result of the determination, the MEC node transmits, to the vehicle that has transmitted the inquiry, a response indicating whether or not to permit data transmission.

  • Patent number: 11304050
    Abstract: An MEC node, by analyzing signaling information transmitted between each of a plurality of eNBs and an MME, collects at least one of information indicating a mobility state and information indicating a communication state of a UE present within cells of the plurality of base stations. The MEC node decides a paging range based on the information collected as above upon receiving a paging message for paging the UE, the paging message having been transmitted by MME to one or more eNBs in accordance with a predetermined paging policy. The MEC node transmits a paging message for paging the UE to each eNB present in the decided paging range.

  • Publication number: 20120254295
    Abstract: The present invention provides a service request reception control method which refuses a reception of the new service request without knowing the available quantity of hardware resource prospectively and without knowing the bottleneck reason prospectively. The service request reception control method for reception control in a server device receiving a processing request from a plurality of client apparatuses comprises the steps of calculating a mean time required for a series of processing to the request from the client apparatus; determining a load state of service by comparing the mean time with a targeted service processing time; and refusing a request reception from the client apparatus based on the load state.

  • Publication number: 20060162313
    Abstract: The present invention provides a yarn which is a covering yarn consisting of only silk and a yarn containing sericin. A cohesioned silk yarn is obtained by using raw silk, as a core yarn, with sericin in swollen state in reeling process at reel speed of 20 to 100 m/min, and by covering a raw silk in said reeling with a wild silk yarn, and by fusion-bonding a raw silk and a wild silk yarn by sericin. Said cohesioned silk yarn can be subjected to automatic knitting.
