Abstract:
The present invention is to enable reduction of constraint brought by generation of ID codes of reference signals to be used for cooperative reception and the allocation of the reference signals when radio communication is carried out between a plurality of base station apparatuses and a terminal unit.Terminal units UE201 to UE205 are terminal units existing in the cellular zone of a base station apparatus BS200 and are performing communication with base station apparatus UE200. When terminal unit UE201 is located at the edge of cell and its reception characteristic degrades, another base station apparatus, specifically, base station apparatus BS100 also performs cooperative transmission while terminal unit UE201 performs cooperative reception. In this case, in order to demodulate the signal from base station apparatus BS100, an ID code of a reference signal that is different from the reference signal the terminal unit uses to demodulate the signal from a solo base station apparatus is used as the ID code of the reference signal that is transmitted from base station apparatus BS100 and specific to the terminal unit.
Abstract:
A folding portable terminal which can be changed into a desired shape depending on applications of functions such as a telephone, a digital camera, and the like. A folding portable terminal (1) comprises a case (10) with a display section (11) and a case (20) with an operating section (21), and the cases are foldably linked through a hinge mechanism. The hinge mechanism comprises a first hinge section (12) formed by providing a first rotation axis at substantially the center of the case (10) that can be rotated about the first rotation axis in the folding or opening direction relative to the case (20); a second hinge section (24) formed by providing a second rotation axis at substantially the upper end part of the case (20) so as to be parallel to the first rotation axis, the case (20) being rotated in the folding or opening direction relative to the case (10); and means (13a) for linking both ends of the first rotation axis and both ends of the second rotation axis. The hinge mechanism enables the display section (11) and the operating section (21) to be folded without being faced each other, and a user can operate the operating section (21) or view the display section (11) in the folded state.
Abstract:
In an MBMS service desired to be received, if a condition for performing an MBMS request (an MBMS request trigger criterion) is satisfied (S3: YES), a mobile station 20a in an idle mode (RRC_IDLE) enters an MBMS request transmission process, transmits a preamble to a base station 10b, receives a random access response including scheduling information for transmitting a Message 3 and the like from the base station 10b, and transmits the Message 3 including an RRC Connection Request (including an NAS ID of the mobile station itself), the MBMS request and channel quality information to the base station 10b (S4), and if an Message 4, which includes RRC Connection Setup that is destined for the mobile station itself and includes the NAS ID, and which includes feedback resource assignment information, is received from the base station 10b (S5: YES), the mobile station 20a transits to a connected mode (RRC_CONNECTED), and also uses the designated resource to provide feedback to the base station (S6). Thereby, the MBMS service can be efficiently provided via SCPTM transmission.
Abstract:
A handover procedure is easily performed in a carrier aggregation state of receiving a plurality of frequency bands. There are provided a plurality of reception branches for performing a reception process for each frequency band, and a reception-signal processing control section 10 that performs control of switching a reception branch in operation to a reception branch which corresponds to the frequency band of a handover destination indicated by a handover command message that has been received from a base station apparatus and indicates a start of handover. Herein, handover is performed by stopping the reception branch that corresponds to the frequency band of a handover source indicated by the handover command message and operating the reception branch that corresponds to the frequency band of the handover destination indicated by the handover command message.
Abstract:
The system includes: a first mobile communication terminal (100) (e.g., portable information terminal) having one or more first wireless LAN interfaces (30,31) of wireless LAN client function; and a second mobile communication terminal (200) (e.g., cellular phone) having a second wireless LAN interface (18, 19) having a wireless LAN access point or wireless LAN client function. When the user is in a wireless LAN hotspot area (32), the user makes wireless LAN access using the first mobile communication terminal (100). When the user is located at the boundary of the wireless LAN hotspot area (32), wireless access is kept automatically by way of the second mobile communication terminal (200). In this way, it is possible to enjoy the merits of both the mobile communication system and the wireless LAN system.

Abstract:
To improve throughput of the whole system while reducing power consumption. In a mobile communication system comprising a mobile station apparatus and a base station apparatus, the base station apparatus creates an interference information table based on channel quality of an uplink channel, and at the same time, transmitting the interference information indicator table to the mobile station apparatus, and the mobile station apparatus determines a state of interference in an uplink frequency band based on the interference information indicator table, determines a frequency band of a measurement pilot channel, which is a pilot channel used to determine received quality, and make a request to the base station apparatus for a transmission resource. For example, the mobile station apparatus determines a frequency band with lowest interference among the uplink frequency bands as a frequency band of the measurement pilot channel.

The mobile station apparatus specifies one or more of the measurement reference cell for the object to be measured and executes a measurement of the object to be measured for the specified one or more of the measurement reference cell.
Abstract:
A base station apparatus, in a mobile communication system comprised of a plurality of base station apparatuses for performing transmission using mutually different frequency bands and a mobile station apparatus capable of concurrently communicating with each of the base station apparatuses, makes a determination whether the mobile station apparatus needs to perform Inter-Frequency Measurement to communicate with the plurality of base station apparatuses, and when Inter-Frequency Measurement is needed, based on the number of frequency bands of base station apparatuses that concurrently communicate with the mobile station apparatus and the number of frequency bands that the mobile station apparatus is capable of concurrently receiving, selects one of a first Inter-Frequency Measurement method without the need for providing a measurement gap in one of the frequency bands, and a second Inter-Frequency Measurement method with the need for providing a measurement gap in one of the frequency bands.
