Abstract: In an example, a wireless communication system and apparatuses thereof are described. In an example long-term evolution (LTE) network, a first base station hands over a connection to a second base station. The first base station may be a (femto) home eNodeB (HeNB) or (macro) eNodeB. The second base station may also be a HeNB or eNodeB connected to a different gateway. The first base station may send “Handover Request” on an X2 connection, identifying the gateway that the second base station is connected to as the correct gateway. After sending a “Handover Request Acknowledgement,” the second base station correctly establishes a tunnel to a connected gateway device.

Abstract: A light-quantity control apparatus includes multiple light-quantity control blades each configured to overlap with at least another one of the light-quantity control blades so as to form a light-passing aperture and each configured to rotate to change a size of the light-passing aperture. Each of the multiple light-quantity control blades includes a thick portion and a thin portion. The thick portion forms an outer end portion on an opposite side to the light-passing aperture in a rotation direction of the light-quantity control blade. The thin portion is formed in an aperture side blade area that overlaps with the at least another one of the multiple light-quantity control blades so as to form part of a circular overlap of the multiple light-quantity control blades and that includes an inner edge forming an edge of the light-passing aperture.
