Abstract: A wireless communication apparatus can communicate with a wireless communication base station using component carriers of communication cells managed by the wireless communication base station simultaneously. A radio condition determining section includes a physical layer problem determining section that determines whether a physical layer problem occurs in each component carrier which is used or can be used in communication between the wireless communication apparatus and the wireless communication base station. When it is determined that the physical layer problem occurs in some of the component carriers used in the communication, the radio condition determining section notifies the component carrier in which the physical layer problem occurs to a report creating section. The report creating section creates a report corresponding to the component carrier in which the physical layer problem occurs and a predetermined criterion.

Abstract: It is possible to provide a radio communication terminal device, a radio communication base station device, and a radio communication method capable of rapidly completing a handover even during DRX/DTX. In the devices and the method, a terminal (100) transmits a quality measurement result to a base station (150) at an Active interval. Here, the terminal (100) sets the DRX/DTX interval to a short interval since performance of a handover is predicted. The base station (150) which has received the quality measurement result transmitted from the terminal (100) recognizes that the terminal has set the DRX/DTX interval to a short interval and transmits a handover instruction to the terminal (100) at the Active interval, considering the shortened DRX/DTX interval.

Abstract: In a mobile communication system, a handover of a terminal device (MT) from a macrocell base station (eNB) to a small cell base station (HeNB) is controlled via a host device (MME or HeNB-GW). Physical cell ID deployment map information (PCI deployment map information), which includes at least information (PCI/CGI map information) indicating the correspondences between physical cell IDs and unique cell IDs of CSG cells for which access is granted, is generated in the host device (MME or HeNB-GW). When the terminal device measures the reception quality for surrounding CSG cells for handover control to any of the CSG cells, the terminal device uses the PCI deployment map information to generate a measurement result report. Thus, a service interruption caused by handover control to an inaccessible small cell can be avoided, and the wait time for handover control can be reduced.

Consequently, a search threshold value for carrier aggregation can be appropriately determined to perform a cell search and a quality measurement.

ST301 acquires various kinds of parameters decided by a network so as to execute a gap support measurement task. ST302 checks the current time and starts the gap support measurement task when the current time has become Ts. ST303 judges whether CQI measured by a terminal is lower than a threshold value.

ST307 judges whether the measurement is complete. ST308 checks whether the total of the gaps exceed the entire gap length Tg.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods for scheduling of uplink transmission and generating transport blocks according to multiple received uplink assignments Furthermore, the invention is also related to the implementation of these methods in hardware and software. To propose strategies for generating plural transport blocks within a given time constraint, the invention introduces prioritization of the uplink assignments, so that multiple uplink assignments can be ranked in the mobile terminal in a priority order. The prioritization of the uplink assignments is used to determine the order in which the individual transport blocks corresponding to the uplink assignments are filled, respectively how the data of different logical channels is multiplexed to the transport blocks for transmission in the uplink. Another aspect of the invention is to suggest joint logical channel procedures that operate on virtual transport blocks accumulated from the received uplink assignments.

Thereby, it is possible to provide the base station and the terminal in which effective configuration of the gap period is performed when the plurality of bands are used.

Abstract: To make it possible for a legacy user equipment to correctly generate and use a common key between a user equipment and a base station and between the user equipment and a relay node when the relay nodes are being introduced. An HO request processing unit (202) extracts user equipment information from an HO request input from a receiver (201). A user equipment information determination section (204) determines a mode of handover from the user equipment information, and outputs a determination result to a key generator (205), a key information update request preparation section (206), and an HO command generator (207). In a case of handover from one base station to a relay node of another base station or to the other base station, the user equipment information determination section (204) commands the key information update request preparation section (206) to prepare a key information update request to a high-level management node so as to update the key information.

Abstract: A technique is disclosed to realize the change of session seamlessly and with high degree of freedom while reducing the increase of the processing load on a session control server upon a request to change the session from a terminal and to decrease the load on network traffic. According to this technique, trigger information is embedded in a session of content used by the terminal. When this trigger information is detected, the terminal carries out an operation to set up as trigger action (e.g. the change to another session). The relation between the trigger information and the trigger action may be described in sequence information, which is held by the terminal in advance or the trigger action may be described in the trigger information. With regard to certain trigger information, different types of trigger actions may be set up for each terminal (or, depending on the condition of the terminal).

Abstract: Influence on a key used between a user equipment and a base station, which will be imposed by unsecured updating of a key between the base station and a relay node when a relay node is being introduced is diminished. An HO request processing unit (202) extracts user equipment information from an HO request input from a receiver (201). A user equipment information determination section (204) determines a mode of handover from the user equipment information, and outputs a determination result to a key generator (205) and an HO command generator (207). In relation to a determination about a mode of handover on the basis of user equipment information, it is determined whether the handover is handover from a relay node to a base station, handover from a base station to a relay node, handover relating to relay nodes subordinate to the same base station, and the like.
