Patent number: 8259567Abstract: An object of the present invention is to avoid congestion, by restricting only processing which causes the congestion without affecting processing which essentially should not be restricted. In a mobile communication system according to the present invention, an exchange MSC/SGSN includes: a congestion factor detector configured to detect a congestion occurrence factor in the switching exchange MSC/SGSN, and a restriction indication transmitter configured to transmit, a restriction indication, to a radio network controller, based on the detected congestion occurrence factor, the restriction indication instructing a processing type that should be restricted in the switching exchange MSC/SGSN congestion occurrence factor. The radio network controller RNC is provided with a broadcast information transmitter configured to transmit broadcast information including the received restriction indication to a mobile station UE.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2007Date of Patent: September 4, 2012Assignee: NTT DoCoMo, Inc.Inventors: Masashi Kanauchi, Norihito Tokuhiro

Patent number: 6108541Abstract: A control channel is searched for call waiting in a mobile station where the power supply for a receiving circuit is turned off during a break time of receiving level measurements, wherein in a first control channel selection mode, all the control channels are divided into a plurality of groups, the receiving levels of the control channels are measured group by group intermittently and sequentially. The intermittent measurement of these groups are repeated until a control channel having a receiving level equal to or greater than a first predetermined value is detected. When a receiving level equal to or greater than the first predetermined value is detected, the receiving levels of all the control channels are measured in a second control channel selection mode.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 1997Date of Patent: August 22, 2000Assignee: NTT Mobile Communications Network Inc.Inventors: Hidetoshi Yazaki, Kouji Chiba, Norihito Tokuhiro, Shigehide Sawayanagi, Kazufumi Yunoki

Patent number: 6032055Abstract: When a power supply to a mobile station is turned on, mobile station identification information is read out from a non-volatile storage of a subscriber information module. A module identification information is read out from the non-volatile storage of the mobile station. The mobile station identification information which is read out is collated against the own mobile station identification information, and module identification information which is read out is collated against identification information for the loaded subscriber information module. If the module identification information does not coincide, the communication processing information is read out from the loaded subscriber information module and is stored into the non-volatile storage of the mobile station to update its content. Identification information for subscriber information module is stored into the non-volatile storage of the mobile station to update it.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 1998Date of Patent: February 29, 2000Assignee: NTT Mobile Communications Network, IncInventors: Hidetoshi Yazaki, Kouji Chiba, Isao Hirakodama, Norihito Tokuhiro
