Abstract: When a mobile terminal currently performing a voice communication or currently initiating a call by use of a VoLTE function moves from an LTE network to 3G femto-network, a GW (100) is connected to an MME (200) disposed on an access network in the LTE network and to an FAP (300) having an IMS-femtocell area as a communication area to be handed over the voice communication or the initiation of the call. When the mobile terminal currently performing the telephone communication or currently initiating the call moves from the communication area of the LTE network to the IMS-femtocell area, a call processing of the mobile terminal is caused to be handed over from the MME (200) to the FAP (300).

Abstract: A coil spring is formed by winding a wire in a coil shape. In the cross sectional shape of the wire formed in the coil shape, the inner diameter side part in the coil shape includes a semi-elliptical shape having a major radius and a minor radius and the outer diameter side part in the coil shape includes a curved shape circumscribing a circumscribed circle having a radius larger than the minor radius, arc shapes having a curvature larger than the curvature of the circumscribed circle, and linear shapes connecting both ends of the arc shapes to both ends of the semi-elliptical shape. This can increase the cross sectional shape of the wire, reduce a shearing stress, and improve the durability of the coil spring.
