By using a combined attach procedure or a combined tracking area update procedure, a user equipment UE registers with a long term evolution network and a first circuit switched domain network, and acquires a public land mobile network identity PLMN ID of the long term evolution network and a PLMN ID of the circuit switched domain network. The UE displays a first network name corresponding to a predetermined PLMN ID before a to-be-displayed second network name sent by a first network device on the long term evolution network is received. The predetermined PLMN ID is one of the PLMN ID of the long term evolution network and the PLMN ID of the circuit switched domain network. | 2015-06-04 |

20150156689 | CELL RESELECTION BASED ON USE OF RELATIVE THRESHOLD IN A MOBILE TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A user equipment performs downlink measurement on neighbour cells, but the measurement performance on a target cell (in terms of measurement period/sampling/accuracy etc) is dependent on the relative performance difference between the target cell and a reference cell. The reference cell may be the serving cell, or may be the strongest cell. The network is thus able to keep track of the required number of target cells without degrading the measurement performance of important cells. The UE on the other hand is still able to save its battery as much as possible while making full use of DRX. | 2015-06-04 |
20150156690 | RADIO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, RADIO TERMINAL, RADIO STATION, AND CELL SELECTION METHOD - The present invention is a radio communication system in which a radio station and a radio terminal communicate with each other. The radio communication system has a control means with which at least one of the radio stations controls a plurality of types of cells by using one radio access technology, a recognition means with which the radio terminal recognizes the types of the cells, and a cell selection means with which the radio terminal selects the cell based on cell selection criteria based on the types of the cells. | 2015-06-04 |
20150156691 | MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, CORE NETWORK NODE SELECTION METHOD, AND BASE STATION AND MOBILE STATION USED THEREFOR - A mobile communication system in which a plurality of base stations and a plurality of core network nodes are distributed in a plurality of areas, wherein a source base station or a mobile station in a handover procedure of the mobile station transmits information for selecting a core network node to a target base station. | 2015-06-04 |
20150156692 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING RE-DIRECTION BETWEEN HETEROGENEOUS MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS - The present invention is a method for controlling re-direction between heterogeneous mobile communication systems, comprising a step in which a terminal, a connection request of which is rejected from a first communication system (UTRAN), receives, from a second communication system to which the terminal intends to connect, information indicating that the second communication system does not support the terminal; a step of setting information for preventing re-direction to the second communication system; and a step of transmitting, to the first communication system, a request for connection to the first communication system, which includes the information. | 2015-06-04 |
20150156693 | Device to Device Communications with Carrier Aggregation - Device-to-device (D2D) communications in conjunction with carrier aggregation. A base station (BS) may coordinate D2D communication between two wireless user equipment (UE) devices. A primary cell may be configured for communicating with each of the UEs. A secondary cell may be configured for D2D communication between the two UEs. The primary cell and the secondary cell may utilize different component carriers. Additionally, cross-carrier scheduling may be used, such that at least some control information for the secondary cell is communicated via the primary cell. | 2015-06-04 |
