  • Patent number: 9825806
    Abstract: In a state where a mobile station UE is communicating with a radio base station S-eNB supporting “extended PDCP-SN,” the mobile terminal continues communications even if it performs a reconnection procedure with a radio base station T-eNB not supporting “extended PDCP-SN.” A mobile communication method according to the invention includes the steps of, when detecting RLF in the bearer in the above-described state, the mobile station UE resetting setting of “extended PDCP-SN” and establishing a bearer using “conventional PDCP-SN” by performing a reconnection procedure with a radio base station T-eNB not supporting “extended PDCP-SN.

  • Patent number: 9591530
    Abstract: Even when handover processing to a radio base station T-eNB not supporting “extended PDCP-SN” is performed on a mobile station UE communicating with a radio base station S-eNB supporting “extended PDCP-SN,” the communications are continued. A mobile communication method according to the invention includes the steps of: causing a radio base station S-eNB to determine to perform handover processing of a mobile station UE to a radio base station T-eNB not supporting “extended PDCP-SN” in a state where a first bearer using “extended PDCP-SN” is established with the mobile station UE, and causing the radio base station S-eNB to create “RRC connection reconfiguration” which instructs deletion of the first bearer and addition of a second bearer using “conventional PDCP-SN” and to transmit “RRC connection reconfiguration” to the mobile station UE.

  • Publication number: 20150011205
    Abstract: Upon detecting an opportunity to release E-RABs related to mobile stations, a mobility management entity transmits a single E-RAB release information message that collectively specifies E-RABs to be released to a base station communicating with the mobile stations. Subsequently, upon receiving the E-RAB release information message, the base station transmits a single E-RAB release information acknowledge message to the mobility management entity. Upon receiving the E-RAB release information acknowledge message, the mobility management entity updates information related to the E-RABs so that the information indicates release of the E-RABs.

  • Publication number: 20140112304
    Abstract: In a method for managing cyclic shift codes used for reporting the CQI, when a new communication occurs between a base station and a mobile station, a cyclic shift code is allocated to the CQI report from the mobile station in accordance with a predetermined order of precedence. When the communication has ended or been disconnected, the cyclic shift code is released. In the allocating step, a cyclic shift code is allocated to the CQI report from the mobile station for the newly occurring communication, the allocated cyclic shift code having a precedence ranking that is lower than a precedence ranking of the allocated cyclic shift code allocated latest for the CQI report from another mobile station, being not used for CQI reports from other mobile stations, and having a highest precedence ranking in the predetermined order of precedence.
