摘要: The described embodiments concern one or more methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer readable mediums storing processor-executable process steps to authenticate mobile subscribers for using a foreign application when they are outside of their home telecom carrier's mobile network zone (“foreign zone”). A mobile subscriber can be authenticated through data roaming service, voice roaming service, and/or WiFi service. After cross network authentication, a mobile subscriber can use the foreign application to provide the same or similar services in a foreign zone, such as foreign country, through the home services in connection with the subscriber's home telecom carrier in a similar manner like he/she can use in his/her home zone, such as home country.

摘要: A high-altitude platform (HAP) node provides communication service during an emergency. The HAP node uses a first network to provide communication services for handling calls initiated by at least one user equipment (UE). The HAP node detects that an emergency disruption has occurred that prevents the use of the first network. In response to detecting the occurrence of the emergency disruption, a mobile terminal (MT) in the HAP node searches for a second network able to accept emergency calls. The HAP node determines whether the second network will handle all calls initiated by the at least one UE or only emergency calls generated by the at least one UE. The HAP node handles the calls based on the determining and through the use of the second network.

摘要: In accordance with increasing communication demand, means for efficiently providing mass downstream communication at a low cost are desired. Accordingly, a communication system providing supplemental downlink as well as multicast communication comprising a display control device for causing a display unit to display a video, and a communication terminal having an image capturing unit for directly capturing the video displayed by the display unit or capturing a video projected or reflected on a wall surface or the like is provided, wherein the display control device includes a video acquiring unit, a region identification unit, a video generating unit, and a display control unit, and the communication terminal includes a region identification unit, a decoding unit, and a mechanism for communicating a control signal for supplemental downlink by the above-described optical communication using means other than optical communication (means such as WiFi, mobile data communication or the like).

摘要: A method and apparatus are provided for nulling a radio frequency (RF) beam for a high-altitude platform (HAP). A transmitter generates an RF signal. A primary antenna system generates an RF beam based on the RF signal. One or more processors determine a result indicating whether to modify the RF beam. When the result indicates to modify the RF beam, a detachable nulling subassembly generates nulling signals based on the RF signal to modify the RF beam generated by the primary antenna system.

摘要: The technology relates to simulating a dynamic hybrid network. A method for simulating a dynamic hybrid network includes modeling a transmission supply of a mesh network of moving stations on aerial vehicles in flight at each time step in a time series, modeling capacity demand as a function of user distribution data and user behavior data, and computing an aggregate network metric for the dynamic hybrid network including throughput. A method for optimizing throughput of a dynamic hybrid network includes modeling a dynamic hybrid network, including a transmission supply of a mesh network of moving stations, modeling capacity demand as a function of user distribution data and user behavior data, and computing an aggregate network metric; then providing feedback to a controller and causing a change to a station in the network to increase throughput.

摘要: A base station, a communication system and a time synchronization method between base stations are provided, which are capable of performing a time synchronization with another base station using a downlink signal of the other base station cell in which the own cell is located, without stopping transmission of the own base station even during operation. A base station receives a downlink signal that includes a downlink signal including a synchronization signal transmitted from the other base station and a downlink wraparound signal transmitted from own base station, removes an interference of the wraparound signal from the downlink received signal, with respect to a predetermined subframe in which the downlink wraparound signal from own base station interferes with the synchronization signal of the base station, among subframes of the downlink signal including the synchronization signal of the base station, performs a time synchronization processing with the base station by detecting a synchronization signal timing of the base station based on the downlink received signal from which the interference of wraparound signal is removed.

摘要: A communication system, in which a sufficient reception power can be obtained without being affected by attenuation such as rainfall in each of a radio relay apparatus and a gateway station, is provided. The communication system performs a communication via a radio relay apparatus located in an upper airspace. A plurality of gateway stations for forming feeder-link radio sections between the own gateway stations and the radio relay apparatus are disposed at a plurality of locations geographically separated from each other on the ground or on the sea. The plurality of gateway stations perform simultaneous transmissions/receptions of signals via the plurality of feeder links or transmissions/receptions of signals accompanied by a switching of the feeder links, with the radio relay apparatus.
