Abstract: An antenna device includes a conductive manhole cover for partitioning an internal space of a manhole and an external space, a wireless device installed in the internal space, and a base station that is installed in the external space and transfers a radio wave with respect to the wireless device. When a notch portion is formed on the edge of the manhole cover and the manhole cover is attached to an opening of the manhole, a slot-shaped void is formed. By using this void as a slot antenna, radio waves from the wireless device can be re-emitted to the external space. With such a configuration, it is not necessary to specially prepare a slot antenna, and a low-cost antenna device can be realized.

Abstract: Interference applied to neighbor cells during terminal handovers can be reduced in wireless communication systems containing base stations having different cell sizes. A serving cell makes handover judgment criteria easier based on pre-acquired cell size information on its own cell and cell size information of neighbor cells in order to facilitate terminal handovers from a base station with a large cell size to a base station with a small cell size. The serving cell finds evaluation function values based on the propagation state (e.g. reference signal received power) between the terminal and target cell, and the interference and load information exchanged between the base stations, and selects the terminal for handover by comparing the evaluation function value with the handover criteria value. The system selects a target cell having a good effect in lowering interference such as a cell with large reference signal received power acquired from a terminal, to serve as the handover destination.

Abstract: When a femto cell base station detects an intense uplink interference, the femto cell base station autonomously extends the femto cell so as to raise a probability that a mobile terminal around the original femto cell may be connected to the femto cell base station. If the mobile terminal connects to the femto cell base station, the uplink interference is reduced and total throughput is improved. Additionally, if a resultant effect of interference reduction is low, the femto cell base station returns the mobile terminal, which is connected to the femto cell base station due to the extension of the femto cell, to the original connection destination. If an evaluative criterion meets a predetermined condition, the femto cell base station restores the extended femto cell to the original size. These actions prevent degradation of performance caused by concentration of the connections of mobile terminals to the femto cell base station.

Abstract: A macro base station includes a communication prohibited period setting unit of setting an uplink communication prohibited period to a user equipment belonging to the base station, and prohibits an uplink communication from the user equipment to a wireless communication base station per se during the uplink communication prohibited period. The user equipments belonging to the wireless communication base station per se and the second base station are divided into plural groups, and the uplink communication prohibited period is set to different time periods for the respective groups. Thereby, a communication characteristic is prohibited from being deteriorated at the second base station by an interference affected with the second base station separately from the first base station by the user equipment communicating with the first base station in the uplink communication.
