Abstract: A mobile communication system hybridly allows, in a case where an access group consisting of one or more user equipments and one or more base stations is registered, the base station included in the access group to have access in a closed mode from the user equipment included in the same access group and access in an open mode from a user equipment that is not included in the same access group, wherein a communication area of the base station in the open mode is identical to a communication area of the base station in the closed mode. This eliminates a communication area in which the base station serving as an access destination differs between the user equipment in the closed mode and the user equipment in the open mode.

Abstract: A mobile communication system including a mobile terminal, a base station carrying out radio communications with the mobile terminal, and an access management device managing access from the mobile terminal to the base station, which, when an access group including one or more mobile terminals and one or more base stations is registered with the access management device, grants a mobile terminal included in the access group permission to access a base station included in the access group. When a predetermined condition is satisfied after a mobile terminal subscribes to the access group and is granted permission to temporarily access the access group during an access permit period, and the access permit period expires, the mobile communication system excludes the mobile terminal for which the access permit period has expired from destinations to which a calling message is transmitted through a base station included in the access group.

Abstract: A mobile terminal 3 judges whether or not the mobile terminal is able to make a transition to a DTX period during Active, and, when judging that the mobile terminal is able to make a transition to a DTX period during Active, notifies a base station 2 to that effect. If the base station 2 judges that the mobile terminal is able to make a transition to a DRX period during Active when triggered by the notification from the mobile terminal 3, the base station temporarily stops supply of electric power to the data transmission processing units and the data reception processing units of the mobile terminal 3.

Abstract: A base station which uses either one of a plurality of component carriers individually or uses an aggregate carrier which is an aggregate of the above-mentioned plurality of component carriers to carry out radio communications with a mobile terminal corresponding to the above-mentioned component carrier and also carry out radio communications with a mobile terminal corresponding to the above-mentioned aggregate carrier is provided. The base station notifies a bandwidth of an aggregate carrier which is an aggregate of all of the above-mentioned component carriers, as a bandwidth which the above-mentioned base station uses, to the mobile terminal corresponding to the above-mentioned aggregate carrier. As a result, while an improvement in the transmission rate is provided according to the aggregate carrier, the base station can also support an operation of a mobile terminal corresponding to a component carrier.

Abstract: There is a problem that when a closed subscriber group (CSG) cell (1303) available to subscribers is installed in a macro cell area (1301), communication cannot be performed due to the interference between a macro cell (1302) and the CSG cell (1303) in an area (1304) thereof.

Abstract: In a communication system including a specified subscriber cell which allows a specific mobile terminal to use the specified subscriber cell, and an unspecified user cell which an unspecified mobile terminal can use, in which each mobile terminal receives cell identification information assigned to each communication cell and makes a cell selection, identification information for identifying the CSG cell operating in an open access mode is included in the cell identification information.

Abstract: A closed subscriber group (CSG) cell is a cell that allows use of subscribers. In order to receive the service by the CSG cell, a CSG-ID is required to be notified to a user equipment, which cannot be obtained in a situation outside the reach of radio waves from a non-CSG cell. In a mobile communication system including base stations respectively provided to a CSG cell and a non-CSG cell in which access is made to the CSG cell with the use of a CSG-ID issued in a case where use of the CSG cell is allowed, the base station provided in the CSG cell 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, and the core network determines whether the user equipment is allowed to use the CSG cell and, in the case where the use is allowed, transmits a signal for allowing assignment of radio resources to the user equipment and the CSG-ID. The user equipment accesses the CSG cell with the use of the CSG-ID.

Abstract: Since OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing), which is a downlink access scheme used for an LTE (Long Term Evolution) communication system, is weak at interference, it is preferable that the number of base stations for transmitting the same E-MBMS (Evolved Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service) data be not excessive. Thus, the mobile terminal performs: processing of obtaining measurement quality values by measuring reception quality of each base station; processing of deciding on whether the measurement quality value of a serving base station exceeds a certain receiving level; processing of adding measurement quality values of other base stations to the measurement quality value of the serving base station until the sum exceeds the certain receiving level; and processing of notifying the serving base station of the serving base station and other base stations as candidates for an active set for E-MBMS.

Abstract: Frequencies are allocated in a wireless network, wherein the network includes a set of macrocells and a set of femtocells, and wherein each macrocell includes a base station (BS) and each femtocell includes a femtocell base station. A frequency spectrum is assigned to the network. The frequency spectrum is partitioned into bands of frequencies. The bands of frequencies are allocated to the set of BS for communicating with user equipments (UE) in the set of macro cells, and guard bands of frequencies, within which no data are transmitted between the UE and the macro cell BS. The guard bands are assigned to the set of femtocell base station for communicating with UE in the set of femtocells.

Abstract: A communication system has three types of cells including, in addition to an MBMS dedicated cell, a unicast cell to and from which a mobile terminal can transmit and receive individual communication data, and a unicast/MBMS-mixed cell which can provide both a service provided by the unicast cell and a service provided by the MBMS dedicated cell. While receiving the broadcast type data transmitted from the MBMS dedicated cell, the mobile terminal makes a notification of an MBMS receiving state via the unicast cell or the unicast/MBMS-mixed cell to transmit information for identifying the MBMS dedicated cell, and the communication system transmits a paging signal to the mobile terminal currently receiving the broadcast type data transmitted from the MBMS dedicated cell on the basis of a tracking area (Tracking Area) in which the mobile terminal is tracked, the tracking area being determined on the basis of the information transmitted.

Abstract: A mobile terminal monitors a candidate set (Candidate Set) of L1/L2 control information. However, when a base station carries out signaling of a candidate set to each of all mobile terminals, the load on the base station from the viewpoint of radio resources becomes large. Furthermore, the amount of processing in performing a blind detection of each mobile terminal also increases. Therefore, the base station carries out a process of performing grouping of the above-mentioned mobile terminal which is a destination of transmission of the above-mentioned L1/L2 control signal, a process of allocating an L1/L2 control signal to be transmitted to a predetermined mobile terminal to the control channel elements included in a group to which the predetermined mobile terminal is belonging on the basis of attribution information about the mobile terminal.

Abstract: In a communications system including a base station capable of altering a frequency bandwidth which is used for transmitting broadcast data for providing point-to-multipoint broadcasting communications service and which is used for transmitting individual communications data for providing point-to-point individual communications service, and a mobile terminal capable of altering a receivable bandwidth which is used for receiving at least the broadcast data and the individual communications data transmitted from the base station, decision processing of making a decision as to whether the mobile terminal can receive reception-desired content it desires to receive among contents provided by the broadcasting communications service is executed in accordance with a frequency occupying bandwidth used for transmitting the reception-desired content. Thus, the mobile terminal becomes able to make a decision as to whether it can receive particular E-MBMS content considering its own UE position.
