A mobile terminaljudges whether or not the mobile terminal is able to make a transition to a DTX period during Active, and, when judging that the mobile terminal is able to make a transition to a DTX period during Active, notifies a base stationto that effect. If the base stationjudges that the mobile terminal is able to make a transition to a DRX period during Active when triggered by the notification from the mobile terminal, the base station temporarily stops supply of electric power to the data transmission processing units and the data reception processing units of the mobile terminal

Mobile communications system and mobile terminal

In a mobile communication system, an RRM measurement set is set as a collection of cells to become targets on which a UE performs a process of detecting whether or not radio communication is allowed. Among the cells in the RRM measurement set, a CoMP measurement set is set as a collection of cells to become candidates on which the UE performs a process of detecting whether or not coordinated communication (CoMP communication) is allowed. Among the cells of the CoMP measurement set, a CoMP active set is set as a collection of cells to become targets on which the UE performs the process of detecting whether or not CoMP communication is allowed.

Mobile communication system

When being connected to a macro cell (S-MeNB) and a small cell (SeNB), a user equipment device performs a pre-handover process of disconnecting the connection with the SeNB before a handover process of switching a macro cell connected with the UE from the macro cell (S-MeNB) that is a moving source to a macro cell (T-MeNB) that is a moving destination along with moving of the UE, and after the handover process, performs a post-handover process of reestablishing the connection with the SeNB.

Each of the cells includes a plurality of antenna elements, and performs radio communication with a communication terminal device through the antenna elements. Each of the cells notifies the other cells of settings for measuring channel information on a channel for performing radio communication of its own cell. Each of the cells may notify a communication terminal device being served thereby of the settings for measuring the channel information of its own cell. Here, the communication terminal device measures the channel information based on the settings notified from each of the cells, and reports a result of the measured channel information to a corresponding one of the cells when the result satisfies a predetermined reporting condition.

Communication system, base station and communication terminal device

A communication system includes a communication terminal device, a base station device performing radio communication with the communication terminal device, and a base station controller controlling the base station device. The communication terminal device is a machine type communication (MTC) device, The base station controller includes a mobility management entity (MME).

The present invention has an object to provide a communication system capable of avoiding congestion in downlink communication or uplink communication and a shortage of radio resources arising therefrom. In the present invention, in a communication system including a normal user equipment (normal UE) that performs human to human communication and a machine type communication device (MTCD) that performs machine to machine communication, a base station device transmits a paging message to the normal UE and the MTCD for calling the normal UE and the MTCD. The paging message contains, for example, an equipment identity (UE-ID). A maximum number of equipment identities (UE-IDs) that can be accommodated within this paging message is set individually for the normal UE and the MTCD. Alternatively, the paging message contains a calling indicator in place of the equipment identity of the MTCD (UE-ID of MTCD).

Radio resource management is simplified when a cell is spatially separated by a plurality of radio beams. A cell configured by a base station device is spatially separated by a plurality of radio beams being served by the base station device. The base station device shares, between two or more of the plurality of radio beams, a radio resource control (RRC) parameter to be applied to a communication terminal device.

A communication system capable of preventing unnecessary switching of an energy saving cell between a normal operation state and an energy saving state. An energy saving cell (ES cell) is in a dormant state that is the energy saving state. In this case, when being notified of a wake-up request message from a communication terminal device (UE), the ES cell executes access restriction control to judge whether the UE can access its own cell. If judging that the UE can access its own cell, the ES cell switches on its own cell and shifts from the dormant state to an active state that is the normal operation state.
