  • Patent number: 11057768
    Abstract: A radio base station that performs radio communication with a mobile station in a cell and that includes: resource management unit that secures resources necessary for radio communication with the mobile station; and communication control unit that, in accordance with a reconnection request from the mobile station, uses the resources secured by the resource management unit to perform reconnection control for establishing radio communication with the mobile station. If a reconnection request is received from the mobile station that takes another radio base station as the connection source in a state in which resources have not been secured by resource management unit, communication control unit interrupts the reconnection control, executes handover with the other base station in order to switch the connection destination of the mobile station from the other base station to its own base station, causes resource management unit to secure resources, and then resumes the reconnection control.

  • Patent number: 8588180
    Abstract: A mobile station measures reception quality levels of individual peripheral cells of a source cell and transmits information of the measured reception quality levels of the individual peripheral cells to a source base station that manages the source cell. The source base station selects a group of cells that are to be handed over, based on the information of reception quality levels of the individual peripheral cells that is received from the mobile station, and transmits information of handover ready completion cells that are ready for handover in the selected group of cells to the mobile station. The mobile station selects a target cell that is to be handed over, based on the information of handover ready completion cells that is received from the source base station, and on the information of reception quality levels of the individual peripheral cells at that time.

  • Patent number: 7440776
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20070121539
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 6909897
    Abstract: An information delivery system includes a mobile terminal of a user, a home domain, and an access destination domain for a specific area to which the mobile terminal currently belongs. The access destination domain transmits a selected service data of a group of service data about the specific area to the mobile terminal when acquiring an identifier of the mobile terminal, and transmits a user personal data request with the identifier of the mobile terminal to the home domain. The home domain transmits user personal data corresponding to the identifier to the access destination domain in response to the user personal data request, and the user personal data indicates features of the user. The access destination domain updates statistic data based on the user personal data, and previously selects one of the group of service data as the selected service data based on the updated statistic data.
