  • Publication number: 20140378135
    Abstract: This management server avoids inter-cell interference on mobile terminals even if a relay node (RN) accommodating the mobile terminals has moved. The management server determines the almost blank subframe (ABS) pattern and the application period of the ABS pattern of a macrocell to which an RN is to move to next on the basis of RN location information, speed information and direction of movement transmitted from the RN, and macrocell information that is to be retained, and transmits said information to the RN. On the basis of the information transmitted from the management server, the RN performs scheduling for user equipment (UE) that is undergoing interference.

  • Patent number: 8903388
    Abstract: Provided is compact base station device that reduces the processing load with an upper layer network device by reducing the amount of signaling with an upper layer network device. In the device, a CSG member management device (102) stores CSG member information beforehand. A network message generation unit (107) generates a message used for collectively registering the CSG member terminals stored in the CSG member management unit (102), in an upper layer network device. At startup, a network interface unit (108) transmits a message generated by the network message generation unit (107) to the upper layer network device.

  • Patent number: 8808560
    Abstract: The utilization of single crystal diamond in a nano- or micro-machine (N/MEMS) device is difficult, and there has been no report on such utilization. The reason for this resides in that it is difficult to grow single crystal diamond on an oxide which is a sacrifice layer. In a conventional technique, a cantilever or the like is produced by forming polycrystalline diamond or nanodiamond on an oxide as a sacrifice layer, but the mechanical performance, vibration characteristics, stability, and reproducibility of the produced cantilever or the like are unsatisfactory. In the present invention, utilizing the fact that the high concentration ion-implanted region in a diamond substrate 101 is modified into graphite, the layer 104 modified into graphite as a sacrifice layer is removed by electrochemical etching to obtain the diamond layer remaining on the resultant substrate as a movable structure. The produced cantilever 106 exhibited high frequency resonance.

  • Publication number: 20140155063
    Abstract: Provided are a wireless communication system and a base station device. An entrance cell base station (100) acquires a UE identifier from a UE that has accessed an entrance cell, whereupon a management server (200) manages the acquired UE identifier together with a period of validity if the UE identifier that has been acquired from the entrance cell base station (100) has been newly added, and if the acquired UE identifier is already being managed, deletes the managed identifier, and reports the modified content to a limit cell group base station (300). When the UE accesses the limit cell group, the limit cell group base station (300) acquires the UE identifier from the UE in order to either allow or deny access to the limit cell group in accordance with whether or not there is a match with a valid UE identifier reported from the management server (200).

  • Publication number: 20090279507
    Abstract: A communication device can perform handover in accordance with a traffic type. In a non-real time communication, it is possible to prevent loss of packet data. In a real time communication, a handover can be rapidly performed without causing a delay. In this device, a handover control unit (105) judges whether data type information is data in a real time communication. If the data is in a real time communication, the handover control unit (105) outputs a switching request message for switching the path switch to the local station to an IPAG interface unit (104). An L3 packet buffer management unit (106) temporarily accumulates the data transmitted from the IPAG or data transferred from other network host.
