  • Patent number: 10212713
    Abstract: To suppress reduction in system performance for mobile communications (group mobility) in a plurality of terminals existing inside the same moving object, a radio communication system for a plurality of user terminals existing inside a moving object and a radio base station is described. The user terminal receives a signal transmitted from the radio base station, and transmits the signal transmitted from the radio base station to a common reception apparatus disposed inside the moving object. The common reception apparatus detects a signal for each user terminal, based on signals transmitted from the plurality of user terminals, and transmits the detected signal to each user terminal. The user terminal receives the signal for the user terminal detected in the common reception apparatus to demodulate. Thus, for group mobility, it is possible to cancel interference among user terminals to improve the multiplexing effect, while suppressing communication overhead.

  • Publication number: 20190020654
    Abstract: A processor associates with one another terminal identifiers for identifying terminals. Each terminal identifier includes a to-be-authenticated section common to the terminal identifiers and used to authenticate a user. The processor associates the terminal identifiers with one another as respective terminal identifiers for a communication source and a communication destination that can perform communication with the communication source. Upon receiving from a first terminal as a communication source a first terminal identifier for identifying the first terminal and a second terminal identifier for identifying a second terminal as a communication destination, the processor transmits a request to the second terminal to start communication with the first terminal for a case where the first and second terminal identifiers are associated with one another. Otherwise the processor does not transmit a request to the second terminal to start communication with the first terminal.
