Abstract: When the priority class is set to a mobile terminal that has moved from cell to cell and even if an HLR is in a congestion state, a communication service is provided to the mobile terminal on a priority basis.

Abstract: In an oxide semiconductor film formed over an insulating surface, an amorphous region remains in the vicinity of the interface with the base, which is thought to cause a variation in the characteristics of a transistor and the like. A base surface or film touching the oxide semiconductor film is formed of a material having a melting point higher than that of a material used for the oxide semiconductor film. Accordingly, a crystalline region is allowed to exist in the vicinity of the interface with the base surface or film touching the oxide semiconductor film. An insulating metal oxide is used for the base surface or film touching the oxide semiconductor film. The metal oxide used here is an aluminum oxide, gallium oxide, or the like that is a material belonging to the same group as the material of the oxide semiconductor film.

Abstract: It is an object to provide a method for manufacturing an SOI substrate in which reduction in yield can be suppressed while impurity diffusion into a semiconductor film is suppressed. A semiconductor substrate provided with an oxide film is formed by thermally oxidizing the surface of the semiconductor substrate. Plasma is generated under an atmosphere of a gas containing nitrogen atoms and plasma nitridation is performed on part of the oxide film, so that a semiconductor substrate in which an insulating film containing nitrogen atoms is formed over the oxide film is obtained. After bonding the insulating film containing nitrogen atoms and a glass substrate to each other, the semiconductor substrate is split, whereby an SOI substrate in which the insulating film containing nitrogen atoms, the oxide film, a thin semiconductor film are stacked in this order is formed.

Abstract: A communication restriction is performed in an appropriate manner for a mobile station (subscriber) that has roamed out of a communication operator's network where subscriber information is registered into another one. In a roaming system including an HLR 110 and a GGSN 120 of a first communication operator's communication network 100 and an SGSN 220 of a second communication operator's communication network 200, the SGSN 220 receives a packet transmission request from a mobile station 210 and transfers it to the GGSN 120. The GGSN 120 that has received the transferred packet transmission request makes an inquiry about subscriber information of the mobile station 210 to the HLR 110. The HLR 110 identifies whether or not the packet transmission request is to be subject to a restriction, and returns an identification result to the GGSN 120 when it is to be subject to the restriction. The GGSN 120 transfers a response to the identification result to the SGSN 220.

Abstract: In order to distribute multicast packets, using different multicast addresses and avoiding fault points, a backup server is installed close to a master and converts backup multicast packets and sends them as master multicast packets to the client. At this time, backup multicast packets are delayed and sent while the delay is determined from an allowable retransmission time, a one-direction delay to the client, a time required to detect linkage problems, and a time required to establish backup paths and so on.
