  • Publication number: 20240073787
    Abstract: A closed subscriber group (CSG) cell allows use of subscribers. To receive the service by the CSG cell, a CSG-ID is notified to a user equipment, but cannot be obtained outside the reach of radio waves from a non-CSG cell. Base stations respectively provided to a CSG cell and a non-CSG cell, and access is made to the CSG cell with the use of a CSG-ID issued when use of the CSG cell is allowed, the base station refers to the notified identification information of a user equipment and then transmits a tracking area update request from the user equipment to a core network. The core network determines whether the user equipment is allowed to use the CSG cell and, if allowed, transmits a signal for assignment of radio resources to the user equipment and the CSG-ID. The user equipment accesses the CSG cell with the CSG-ID.

  • Publication number: 20230388059
    Abstract: In a mobile communication system according to the present invention, with the separate use of a plurality of component carriers or with the use of a carrier set including the plurality of component carriers aggregated, a base station performs radio communication with a user equipment corresponding to the component carrier or a user equipment corresponding to the aggregated carriers. In particular, in a case where the base station performs radio communication with the user equipment corresponding to the aggregated carriers with the use of the aggregated carriers, each of a plurality of transport blocks created by dividing a transport channel is transmitted per each of the plurality of component carriers constituting the aggregated carriers, and control information related to radio communication between the base station and the user equipment corresponding to the aggregated carriers is transmitted such that physical information of the corresponding component carrier is identifiable.

  • Publication number: 20230354262
    Abstract: The present invention has an object to provide a communication system capable of avoiding congestion in downlink communication or uplink communication and a shortage of radio resources arising therefrom. In the present invention, in a communication system including a normal user equipment (normal UE) that performs human to human communication and a machine type communication device (MTCD) that performs machine to machine communication, a base station device transmits a paging message to the normal UE and the MTCD for calling the normal UE and the MTCD. The paging message contains, for example, an equipment identity (UE-ID). A maximum number of equipment identities (UE-IDs) that can be accommodated within this paging message is set individually for the normal UE and the MTCD. Alternatively, the paging message contains a calling indicator in place of the equipment identity of the MTCD (UE-ID of MTCD).

  • Patent number: 11696293
    Abstract: A mobile communication system capable of reducing energy consumption of a network node in a local area range. When judging that there is a shift trigger, a local eNB shifts from a normal operation to an energy saving operation. In the energy saving operation, the local eNB stops the operation of transmitting at least a part of downlink transmission signals to be transmitted to a user equipment (UE) and performs the operation of receiving an uplink transmission signal transmitted from the UE. When judging that it has received the uplink transmission signal (RACH) in the energy saving operation, the local eNB shifts to the normal operation.
