  • Publication number: 20150319805
    Abstract: An increase in communication load in a network due to increasing messages for requesting information is suppressed. When a message for requesting information and a response message thereto are sent and received between a communication device (N1-Nn) that is an information requester and an information provider (Nx) on a network (NW) via a communication device (1), the communication device (1) stores the information acquired from the response message in a response information storage section (4), and when any communication device requests at least part of the same information, a control section (5) creates a response message including the requested information and responds.

  • Publication number: 20150249969
    Abstract: A gateway device (10) according to the present invention includes a memory (11) that stores information regarding an environment around a radio base station; a controller (12) that generates a message for paging a mobile station which camps on the radio base station to execute processing for determining information of a radio base station to which the message is transmitted based on the stored information; and a transmission unit (13) that transmits the message. Paging optimization is thus achieved by reducing the number of paging messages.

  • Publication number: 20130344880
    Abstract: A gateway communicating with a base station, includes a receiver that receives an incoming message including identification information of the base station and one or more parameters indicating an environment of the base station. The gateway also includes a memory that stores correspondence information including a cell identifier in association with at least one of the received identification information and the received one or more parameters. The gateway also includes a controller that determines the cell identifier, corresponding to a cell of the base station, based on the correspondence information and the incoming message, and generates an outgoing message, including the determined cell identifier, to be sent to a core network device. The gateway also includes a transmitter adapted to transmit the outgoing message.

  • Publication number: 20110281592
    Abstract: A mobile communication system according to the present invention that can provide a mobile communication system capable of reducing power consumption by a radio base station apparatus includes a radio base station apparatus (1) that communicates with a mobile terminal (4), a location information management apparatus (3) that acquires location information of the mobile terminal (4), and a processing apparatus (2) that changes an operation state so that the radio base station apparatus (1) does not emit radio waves based on changes in the location information of the mobile terminal (4) acquired by the location information management apparatus (3). When the mobile terminal (4) moves from a position within a service area of the radio base station apparatus (1) to a position outside the service area, for example, the processing apparatus (2) changes the operation state so that the radio base station apparatus (1) does not emit radio waves.
