  • Publication number: 20210392676
    Abstract: A terminal device has a processor and is used in a wireless communication system. The processor determines a value pertaining to a stop time of a transmission process. When the terminal device receives a first signal indicating a UL grant and then receives a second signal indicating an instruction to stop the uplink transmission, the processor counts an elapsed time since the reception of the second signal. The processor performs the uplink transmission based on the first signal when the terminal device receives a third signal indicating a restart of the uplink transmission before the elapsed time reaches the determined value. The processor performs the uplink transmission based on a grant indicated by a fourth signal when the terminal device receives the fourth signal after the elapsed time reaches the determined value, the fourth signal indicating a grant of the uplink transmission.

  • Patent number: 8583136
    Abstract: There are provided a communication device, service-area adjusting method, and mobile communication system capable of accurately executing an optimization algorithm on an actual field. An EMS (a communication device) acquires an index value indicating downstream reception quality of a mobile station in a communication area from the mobile station via a base station in the communication area with respect to each mobile station. Then, the EMS determines whether to start or end the execution of arithmetic processing of a transmission parameter of each base station in the communication area by comparing a value based on at least any of average communication quality between the base station and mobile station in the communication area, throughput, and received power, which is obtained based on an index value of each mobile station, with a reference value.

  • Patent number: 8526951
    Abstract: A base station of a mobile device's movement destination receives a diversity handover (DHO) start notification from a mobile station at the beginning of a DHO. This notifies a radio network control apparatus and an instruction is issued to the base station to add a radio link. The time for transmitting data to a mobile device is determined, the transmission timing is rounded up, and the data is transmitted from the base station to a mobile device. In this event, a search window's timing for receiving data from the mobile device is shifted with the round up of the transmission timing; and therefore the width of the search window is enlarged. The movement destination's base station also receives a DHO complete notification from a mobile device at the completion of the DHO. The movement destination's base station changes the width of the width-enlarged window back to the original width.
