Publication number: 20240073787Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Miho MAEDA, Mitsuru MOCHIZUKI, Taiga SAEGUSA, Yasushi IWANE, Yuji KAKEHI, Masayuki NAKAZAWA, Taisei SUEMITSU

Patent number: 11696293Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2022Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Miho Maeda, Mitsuru Mochizuki, Yasushi Iwane, Yuji Kakehi, Hitoshi Kimura, Taisei Suemitsu

Publication number: 20180041324Abstract: A mobile communication system capable of preventing interference in a communication system as well as reducing the load of a user equipment in a search operation. In the mobile communication system, radio communication is performed using a carrier having the same frequency in a direct link between a donor cell and a user equipment being served thereby and an access link between a relay node and a user equipment being served thereby. In a backhaul link between the donor cell and the relay node, radio communication is performed using a carrier having a different frequency from that of the carrier used in the direct link and the access link.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2017Publication date: February 8, 2018Applicant: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Miho Maeda, Mitsuru Mochizuki, Yasushi Iwane, Yuji Kakehi, Masayuki Nakazawa, Taisei Suemitsu

Patent number: 9585070Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2015Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Mitsuru Mochizuki, Miho Maeda, Yasushi Iwane, Yuji Kakehi, Masayuki Nakazawa, Taisei Suemitsu
