Patent number: 7440776Abstract: An RNC is divided into a plurality of user plane servers (UPSs) for executing the transmission control of user's data and a control plane server (CPS) for executing the transmission control of a control signal for transmitting user's data. A C plane control section for executing the transmission control of the control signal for transmitting the user's data is disposed in the CPS, and similarly a U plane control section for executing the transmission control of the user's data is disposed in each of the UPSs. A logical connection for transmitting control information is interposed between the U plane control section and the C plane control section. Hence, such a system, in which both the function of the C plane control and the function of the U plane control in the radio access controller (RNC) are physically divided into a plurality of devices, provides a simple control system, thereby making it possible to rapidly exchange the control information between the protocol entities.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2003Date of Patent: October 21, 2008Assignee: NEC CorporationInventor: Tsuneyuki Kikuchi

Publication number: 20070121539Abstract: A wireless line sharing network system enabling the charge of fees according to the use of a wireless communication network as well as reduction in capital invested by a communication carrier. A user terminal that subscribes to a communication carrier accesses a corresponding communication carrier network at a licensed radio frequency through a wireless base station (BS) and a control station (10). In response to a call connection request, a call acceptance controller (101) accepts the call and reserves bandwidth based on a radio bandwidth allocation pattern defined by contract and current use conditions. A bandwidth determination section (107) determines bandwidth for the call connection request using the call connection request, a call connection acknowledgement and a bandwidth table (106). A rate change controller (103) controls bandwidths for user terminals so that the currently used bandwidth of each communication carrier are kept within a predetermined range.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2004Publication date: May 31, 2007Inventor: Tsuneyuki Kikuchi
