20110211519 | WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, BASE STATION AND NETWORK CONTROL APPARATUS - In a time slot in which a first base station for performing a multicast transmission executes the multicast transmission, a second base station which does not perform the multicast transmission does not perform a unicast data transmission. The time slot in which the first base station performs the multicast transmission is notified to the second base station from a multicast control apparatus for performing scheduling of the multicast transmission to the first base station. Information to receive the multicast transmission is notified from the second base station to a terminal connected to the second base station. | 09-01-2011 |
20110211560 | MOBILITY CONTROL METHOD MITIGATING INTER CELL INTERFERENCE AND BASE STATIONS WHICH ADOPT THE METHOD - Interference applied to neighbor cells during terminal handovers can be reduced in wireless communication systems containing base stations having different cell sizes. A serving cell makes handover judgment criteria easier based on pre-acquired cell size information on its own cell and cell size information of neighbor cells in order to facilitate terminal handovers from a base station with a large cell size to a base station with a small cell size. The serving cell finds evaluation function values based on the propagation state (e.g. reference signal received power) between the terminal and target cell, and the interference and load information exchanged between the base stations, and selects the terminal for handover by comparing the evaluation function value with the handover criteria value. The system selects a target cell having a good effect in lowering interference such as a cell with large reference signal received power acquired from a terminal, to serve as the handover destination. | 09-01-2011 |
20110212744 | TRANSMIT POWER CONTROL METHOD FOR RADIO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND RADIO BASE STATION DEVICE - A communication device includes pilot signal sending part and transmit power control part and holds a criterion value indicating target channel quality for mobile stations within the area covered by the base station. It creates quality data from reports from one or plural mobile stations, stores the quality data, creates a first representative value indicating average channel quality for the mobile station(s) from the stored quality data, and changes the transmit power depending on the result of comparison between the first representative value and the criterion value. It creates a second representative value indicating distribution of low channel quality from the stored quality data and updates the criterion value depending on the result of comparison between the second representative value and the criterion value. | 09-01-2011 |
20110244866 | WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND LOAD BALANCING AWARE HANDOVER METHOD THEREFOR - An object of the invention is to provide a wireless communication system in which the load of each cell and interference between cells are taken into account. In a handover-candidate base station and a handover-source base station, parameters for interference-reducing scheduling and handover facilitating processing are adjusted based on the mutual load information. When the handover-candidate base station, to be used for load balancing, is a large-diameter cell, transmit power control and frequency scheduling are adjusted by taking account of the load state at a cell edge. When the handover-source base station has a small-diameter cell, the number of terminals to be handed over is adjusted by taking account of the load state of the handover-candidate base station. Thus, both of interference control and load balancing are achieved. | 10-06-2011 |
20110255519 | Signal Mapping Method and Communication Device - Ameliorate deterioration in quality of communication caused by intercell interference with respect to a multicarrier communications protocol, such as OFDM. A method of positioning an error correction-coded signal is changed with a data symbol that is transmitted simultaneously with a pilot signal and a data symbol that is not simultaneous with the pilot symbol. Else, a modulation protocol is changed with a data symbol that is transmitted simultaneously with a pilot signal and a data symbol that is not simultaneous with the pilot symbol. It would further be permissible to lower either a signal amplitude or a power level of a data symbol that is transmitted simultaneously with a pilot signal. | 10-20-2011 |
20110310758 | Method of Resource Assignment for Radio Communication System and Base Station Apparatus - A method for assigning resources of a radio communication system that is aimed at relaxing interference between cells and that is applicable even in the case where femtocell base stations are installed within a macrocell base station area, and a radio base station apparatus. A transmit power limitation that limits an allocatable resource for each subband consisting of one or plural sub-carriers is decided, resource assignment is preformed on a mobile terminal on a subband-by-subband basis by a scheduler so that the transmit power limitation may be satisfied, and the transmit power limitation is altered based on an estimation result of an interference quantity from surrounding cells. | 12-22-2011 |
20110317742 | BASE STATION - A cellular radio communication system includes a first mobile terminal, a base station that performs radio communication with first mobile terminals, a second mobile terminal, and a second base station that performs radio communication with second mobile terminals. In the downlink communication, the base station selects a high data rate mode when the radio interference from the base station to the second mobile terminals that are located close to an edge of a communication area of the second base station is small. The base station selects an interference mitigation mode in the downlink communication when the radio interference from the base station to the second mobile terminals that are located close to the edge of the communication area of the second base station is large. Thus, inter-cell interference control can be performed in collaboration with base stations in the radio communication system without having communication interface between the base stations. | 12-29-2011 |
20120317278 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION METHOD AND REMOTE MONITORING SYSTEM - In a remote monitoring system including a monitoring center, a sensing information collecting station, and one or more sensing terminals, the sensing information collecting station collects measurement results measured by the sensing terminals, classifies the collected measurement results into priority information and general information, and transmits priority information and general information to the monitoring center. The monitoring center transmits response information to received priority information to the sensing information collecting station. The sensing information collecting station estimates network condition from a delay time based on the response information and decreases the transmission rate of general information when the estimated network condition is more congested. Thereby, even if the network condition fluctuates, desired information such as statistical information on measurement results and measurement results meeting a predetermined condition is communicated stably at low delay. | 12-13-2012 |
20130185417 | REMOTE MONITORING SYSTEM, NETWORK INTERCONNECTION DEVICE AND COMMUNICATION CONTROL METHOD - Even though a network with communication rate large fluctuations is applied to a remote monitoring system, data communication delay time is kept smaller for which a shorter communication delay time is demanded and a high throughput is implemented. A sensor equipped terminal sends measurement data to a network interconnection device. A priority level determining unit of the device sorts the data into first data necessary to be delivered to a monitoring center within requested communication delay time and second data not necessarily to be delivered to the center within requested communication delay time. A transmission buffer unit is a buffer storing the first and second data accumulated in first and second data accumulating units in sending the data to a wide area network by FIFO. A transmission control unit dynamically controls a rate in causing the data to come in the transmission buffer unit based on a network communication rate. | 07-18-2013 |
20130301618 | RADIO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND RADIO STATION - Radio communication system and radio station which enable efficient use of radio resources while coping with a sudden change in radio communication quality are to be provided. Radio communication system includes plural radio stations. At least one of the plural radio stations allocates a part of an allocatable communication resource as one or more individual resources in which a source radio station and a destination radio station are individually set, and allocates another part of the allocatable communication resource as one or more shared resources which are used in common by plural source radio stations or plural destination radio stations. Each of the radio stations encodes a transmission signal using a systematic code, sends the transmission signal before being encoded, using the individual resource allocated to each of the radio stations, and sends a parity portion of the encoded transmission signal, using the shared resource allocated. | 11-14-2013 |
