Abstract: A wireless terminal transmits a result of measuring received power of a downlink wireless signal from a femtocell base station to a macrocell base station. The macrocell base station transmits an interference control request including identification information of the wireless terminal to a femtocell base station group of which received power of a downlink signal included in a measurement result transmitted from the wireless terminal is a predetermined value or more. The femtocell base station has an adjacent wireless terminal list in which identification information of a wireless terminal, which is capable of being connected to an adjacent femtocell base station but is not capable of being connected to the femtocell base station, is recorded, and downlink transmission power of the femtocell base station is reduced when the identification information included in the interference control request is included in this list.

Abstract: A control section (212) adds first time information from a clock (204) to road traffic information from a light beacon communication device to create road traffic information by first time for storing in a storage device (205). A time judging device (209) receives second time information from other mobile communication terminal and creates an information transmission instruction if the first time of the first time information is more up-to-date than the second time of the second time information. An information selecting section (211) selects and transmits a part of the road traffic information by first time based on other traveling direction information indicative of the traveling direction of other vehicle and traveling direction information from an azimuth finder (208). Upon receiving road traffic information by third time from other mobile communication terminal, the control section (212) overwrites the road traffic information by first time in the storage device (205).

Abstract: A system capable of normally connecting a call without degrading the security level in a mobile terminal network, even in cases when a call addressed to a set of user equipment (UE) arrives via the Internet or a home network. In ST 101, a femto base station (110) receives a packet addressed to a set of UE (100) via the Internet or a home network and, in ST 102, starts a paging procedure. In ST 103, the set of UE (100) establishes an RRC connection to the femto base station (110). In ST 104, the UE (100) transmits, to the femto base station (110), a paging response addressed to the SGSN (150). In ST 105, the femto base station (110) performs NAS verification. If the femto base station (110) detects the paging response to a paging request made by itself, the femto base station (110), in ST 107, changes the service type of the service request received from the UE (100) from the paging response to signaling.

Abstract: A different resource is allocated to each of a terminal and a relay station as a resource for the communication with a base station. A radio base station device (1) provided in the base station includes: a determination unit (7) which determines whether or not relaying of a random access preamble is performed based on the resource information included in the random access preamble; and a response generating unit (10) which generates a random access response to which relay flag information is attached. When the random access response with the relay flag information attached is transmitted from the base station to the terminal, the control of the transmission power of an RRC connection request is performed at the terminal based on the relay flag information. This allows for the suppression of increase in the delay before the establishment of RRC connection, and thereby a radio base station device which improves the utilization effect of resources is provided.

Accordingly, the latency when establishing a connection can be reduced.

Abstract: A communication terminal apparatus wherein a network-led handover and a communication terminal apparatus-led handover are simultaneously performed, whereby even if the link between the communication terminal apparatus and the handover source is cut off before a completion of the handover, the handover can be performed at a high speed because of the communication terminal apparatus-led handover. In this apparatus, a reception power measuring part (103) measures the reception power of each of peripheral cells that are candidates of handover destinations. A measurement information generating part (104) generates reception quality information. A selection deciding part (105) decides to select a cell when the reception power is equal to or less than a threshold value.

Abstract: A wireless communication base station device capable of improving the reception quality of the MBMS data of UE without wasting wireless resources even if an error occurs in the MBMS data transmitted from an eNB when distributing the MBMS via a wireless access network composed of the eNB and an RS. In the device, a wireless quality determining section (162) outputs reception quality determination information indicating the reception quality between the UE and the device determined on the basis of a CQI included in the NACK signal received from the UE to a retransmission determining section (164). A retransmission data determining section (171) of the retransmission determining section (164) determines MBMS data to be retransmitted from the device and retransmission data (FEC encoding ratio of the MBMS data) to be retransmitted from the RS on the basis of the reception quality determination information inputted from the wireless quality determining section (162).

Abstract: A communication apparatus wherein the function arrangement of each device is revised, thereby preventing an increase in traffic of a public network and further suppressing an increase in communication cost of the public network. In this apparatus, a control part (101), when notified of a duplication of MBMS data by RNC-c, controls a PDCP part (102), an RLC part (103) and a MAC-d part (104) so as to perform an MBMS data duplication process. The control part (101), when notified of an establishment of a communication line with a node (B), controls the PDCP part (102), RLC part (103) and MAC-d part (104) so as to establish the communication line with the node (B).

The MAC-d part (104) transmits the MBMS data as MAC processed to the node (B) via a local network between an RNC-u (100) and the node (B).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for distributing control signaling for session control of a multicast or broadcast service within a mobile communication network. Furthermore the invention also provides a base station, mobile terminal and communication system to perform the proposed method. In order to reduce the number of signaling connections for the service, the invention proposes to avoid the initial distribution of session control signaling in the entire mobile communications network or service area. Rather than providing service related control signaling connections upon session start, the control signaling connections are set up in response to service requests of the mobile terminals requesting the service. According to one further aspect, the mobile terminals send the service requests based on service announcements available at the mobile terminals, i.e.

Abstract: A terminal (101) includes interfaces for communication with a mobile network (102) and a wireless LAN (103). A first IMS server (107) performs IMS call control processing relating to terminals located in the mobile network (102) and a second IMS server (111) relays a signal relating to IMS call control processing concerning terminals located in the wireless LAN (103). These IMS servers search for a mobile network packet gateway (106), a packet data gateway (110), and a gateway to be controlled by a route change request for requesting change of a packet transmission path and relay the route change request. The route change request provided from the terminal (101) is relayed by the IMS servers to provide the change request to all networks specified. The packet transmission path is changed by the gateway in accordance with the request. Thus, the terminal having the interfaces for both of the mobile communication network and the wireless LAN can select a network to use for each communication port.

A reception level measuring section (144) of a UE (104) measures the reception level of a femto cell. If a judging section (146) judges that the measured reception level is over a level which is the sum of a threshold and an offset value, the judging section (146) requests an MME (101) to change a multi TA registration to a single TA registration and carries out a change to one tracking area registration.

Abstract: It is possible to provide a core network device, a radio communication base station device, and a radio communication method which can improve the radio resource use efficiency of the entire network without increasing UE battery consumption. According to the devices and the method, a user quantity counting unit (163) of UPE (160) counts the number of UE which have performed a position registration in each position registration area containing a plurality of cells. A user quantity comparing unit (164) selects MCT if the counted UE quantity is not smaller than a predetermined threshold value and SCT if the counted UE quantity is smaller than the predetermined threshold value, thereby appropriately performing switching between SCT and MCT in accordance with the UE quantity. Only when the SCT is selected by the UPE (160), eNB counts the number of users in the cell managed by the local device.

Abstract: Disclosed are a radio communication base station device and a radio communication method which can reduce the interruption time of a service being received by UE while suppressing a resource consumption amount in an SFN area when the UE performs a handover from the SFN area to a non-SNF area. An MBMS reception request identification unit (127) judges an RRC message inputted from the UE (100). If an MBMS reception request is contained, an MBMS reception request is transmitted to an MBMS reception request storage unit (124). Moreover, when the RRC message from the UE (100) contains an adjacent cell reception quality measurement result, a handover decision unit (126) judges whether to perform a handover to the adjacent cell. The MBMS reception request storage unit (124) stores the MBMS reception request outputted from the MBMS reception request identification unit (127).

Abstract: Disclosed are a core network device, a radio communication base station device, and a radio communication method which continuously provides a multicast service to a terminal connected to eNB in an overlap PA. An M-UPE (160) which distributes MBMS data to the overlap PA stores an identifier of other M-UPE (170) connected to the overlap PA. When no participating user under the M-UPE (160) is detected upon update of the number of UPE users, the M-UPE (160) continues the multicast service to the M-UPE (170) according to the stored identifier.

Abstract: A communication device can perform handover in accordance with a traffic type. In a non-real time communication, it is possible to prevent loss of packet data. In a real time communication, a handover can be rapidly performed without causing a delay. In this device, a handover control unit (105) judges whether data type information is data in a real time communication. If the data is in a real time communication, the handover control unit (105) outputs a switching request message for switching the path switch to the local station to an IPAG interface unit (104). An L3 packet buffer management unit (106) temporarily accumulates the data transmitted from the IPAG or data transferred from other network host.

Abstract: A communication apparatus controls the timing of switching data paths in an upper-layer apparatus so as to inhibit the data from being transferred from the network host of a handover source to the network host of a handover destination, thereby effectively utilizing the resource of the network host of the handover source, while eliminating the processing load accompanying the data transfer. In this apparatus, a handover deciding part (104) selects, based on the information of the reception qualities of a plurality of network hosts, the network host of a handover destination. A switching request part (105) makes a request of a path switching to IPAG. A handover instructing part (108) instructs a communication terminal apparatus to handover to the network host of the handover destination.

Abstract: Provided is a communication device capable of reducing the network resource and the processing load of a network host. A handover destination performs unicast of packet data reporting an address of the handover destination to an upper-node device and the upper-node device reports release of connection with a communication terminal device to the handover origin. In this device, a handover control unit (104) judges whether a handover of the communication device to the local station is enabled according to the radio resource state of the local station. A message creation unit (105) creates a message containing an address of layer 2 of the local station as the handover destination, an address of layer 3 of the communication terminal device, and a unicast address for unicast to IPAG. An IPAG interface unit (106) performs unicast of the created message to the IPAG.
