Abstract: The traffic amount of the radio communication is reduced and the load applied to the management side of the system is reduced, thereby making the data shared with only prescribed users in an efficient manner. There is provided a shared data management apparatus, for managing sharing of data stored in a plurality of data storage units, is provided with: a profile group management unit 201 for managing attribution information of users; a group processing unit 202 for creating a user group based upon the attribute information; a sharing policy management unit 203 for managing an authority information permitting a user included in the user group to share the data stored in the data storage unit, so that the profile group management unit 201 identifies the user group permitted to share the data stored based upon the authority information.

Abstract: A system for controlling handover is disclosed that includes a mobile terminal that enables communications with multiple wireless systems having wireless access stations, and a handover-controlling apparatus that executes control of handover for the mobile terminal, which travels among multiple types of wireless systems. The mobile terminal includes a destination wireless system determining unit that receives downlink signals from the corresponding wireless access stations so as to determine which wireless system accommodates a destination wireless access station based on reception quality of downlink signals. The mobile terminal also includes a destination wireless system reporting unit that sends information indicating the determined wireless system to the handover-controlling apparatus.

Abstract: A network management server includes an address manager and an address assignment direction transmitter. The address manager manages a first address, a second address and a third address of the destination mobile terminals in accordance with address assignment information received from a mobile node. The address assignment direction transmitter transmits an address assignment directions for directing a source access node to manage the first address and the second address of the destination mobile terminal, and to transmit an address assignment direction for directing a destination access node to manage the second address and the third address of the destination mobile terminal.

Abstract: A network control system, which controls connections between a mobile terminal and multiple types of wireless systems accommodated in a network, includes a prescribed node provided on the network. The node comprises signal transmitting/receiving means that transmits and receives a control signal defined by each of the wireless systems, protocol converting means that converts the control signal to a common protocol independent of each of the wireless systems, and entity communication controlling means that communicates with multiple functional entities provided on the network, using the common protocol, to implement network control.

Abstract: A mobile terminal can be loaded with a plurality of subscriber identity module cards at the same time, and register the condition to a mobile communication network. The mobile terminal comprises detects a loading of a recording medium (such as an IC card like the SIM card), and transmits, when the detecting means detects at least two recording media, first subscriber identity information (e.g. IMSI, TMSI, etc.) corresponding to a first recording medium and second subscriber identity information corresponding to a newly detected recording medium, to the subscriber information management apparatus such as a visitor location register (VLR). The subscriber information management apparatus registers location area information of the first subscriber identity information as location area information associated with the second subscriber identity information.
