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

Since OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing), which is a downlink access scheme used for an LTE (Long Term Evolution) communication system, is weak at interference, it is preferable that the number of base stations for transmitting the same E-MBMS (Evolved Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service) data base not excessive. Thus, the mobile terminal performs: processing of obtaining measurement quality values by measuring reception quality of each base station; processing of deciding on whether the measurement quality value of a serving base station exceeds a certain receiving level; processing of adding measurement quality values of other base stations to the measurement quality value of the serving base station until the sum exceeds the certain receiving level; and processing of notifying the serving base station of the serving base station and other base stations as candidates for an active set for E-MBMS. This makes it possible to select as the active set for E-MBMS an appropriate number of base stations that make it compatible to maintain good reception quality and to prevent interference.

In a communications system including a base station capable of altering a frequency bandwidth which is used for transmitting broadcast data for providing point-to-multipoint broadcasting communications service and which is used for transmitting individual communications data for providing point-to-point individual communications service, and a mobile terminal capable of altering a receivable bandwidth which is used for receiving at least the broadcast data and the individual communications data transmitted from the base station, decision processing of making a decision as to whether the mobile terminal can receive reception-desired content it desires to receive among contents provided by the broadcasting communications service is executed in accordance with a frequency occupying bandwidth used for transmitting the reception-desired content. Thus, the mobile terminal becomes able to make a decision as to whether it can receive particular E-MBMS content considering its own UE position.

Data communications method and mobile communications system

A base station divides a packet into a plurality of wireless transfer blocks, determines a priority of a wireless transfer block based on a delivery acknowledged amount accumulated value, allocates wireless resources to the wireless transfer blocks based on determined priority, and transmits generated wireless transfer blocks by using allocated wireless resources. A mobile station transmits a delivery acknowledgement to the base station when the wireless transfer block is properly received and a re-transmission request when the wireless transfer block is not properly received, and reproduces the packet from received wireless transfer blocks.

Communication system, base station, and mobile station

A mobile terminal judges 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 station to that effect. If the base station judges 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.

A base station communicates with plural mobile stations using a common channel common to the mobile stations, and a predetermined number of a plurality of shared channels assigned to the mobile stations. The base station includes a scheduler that acquires, for each of the mobile stations, a transmitting power ratio being a ratio of a mobile station assigning power, which is a sum of transmitting powers of the shared channels assigned to the mobile station, and a transmitting power of the common channel. The scheduler determines the mobile station assigning power of the mobile station and then selects communication destination mobile stations, so that a sum of the mobile station assigning powers does not exceed a predetermined maximum assignable power.

Base station, mobile station, communication system, and communication method

The present invention provides a radio communication system and a method thereof, which successively use the same frequency even when a plurality of mobile stations served by the same base station move and come close with one another and a space-division access system becomes unavailable which uses an antenna beam forming function of the base station. In the system, an access system switching unit is periodically started, and it initially clears the existing group relationships in a mobile station tracking-information table. The unit then examines the table and compares a difference of the directional angles of respective mobile stations with a predetermined threshold level. If the directional angles show a difference, the unit continues the examination with respect to other combinations of the mobile stations. If the difference is smaller than the threshold, the associated two mobile stations are grouped. After comparing adjacency of all combinations of the mobile stations, baseband units of the base station and each mobile station are instructed to change the access system of the grouped mobile stations from the space-division access system to a time-division access system.
