Abstract:
A communication control method is a method for performing offload to transfer a traffic load of a cellular base station to an access point. The communication control method comprises a step of maintaining without releasing the first connection, by a user terminal that have established a first connection with the cellular base station, even when the offload is started after establishing a second connection with the access point; and a determining step of determining, by the user terminal, whether the offload is continued or canceled after the offload is started.
Abstract:
A user terminal according to the present embodiment comprises: a controller configured to perform control of transmitting at least one or more group identifiers among a plurality of group identifiers comprising of an identifier associated with each of a plurality of D2D groups in D2D communication being direct inter-terminal communication to a base station as an identifier of a destination of data in the D2D communication.
Abstract:
A base station for managing a cell includes a controller configured to perform an on/off operation to turn a downlink transmission of the cell on and off. The controller performs a process of transmitting a periodic radio signal including a cell-specific reference signal.
Abstract:
D2D communication is appropriately controlled even in an environment in which a user terminal inside the coverage and a user terminal outside the coverage both exist. A method includes: a step of receiving, by UE 100-1 included in a plurality of UEs 100, from UE 100-n included in the plurality of UEs 100, information related to the UE 100-n; and a step of selecting, by the UE 100-1, a control user terminal for controlling D2D communication, based on the information related to the UE 100-n, from among the plurality of UEs 100.
Abstract:
User terminal comprises a transmitter configured to transmit, in response to a received power of a signal from another user terminal satisfying a predetermined condition, direct communication in a proximity service without transmitting a synchronization signal in the proximity service, in a case where the user terminal is out of a network coverage.
Abstract:
A cellular base station is configured to execute functions of: a plurality of packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entities corresponding to a plurality of bearers used in performing a communication with a user terminal in which the user terminal is configured to utilize radio resources of the cellular base station and a wireless local area network (WLAN) access point; and a specific entity that provides a PDCP packet with a header including a bearer identifier to generate a specific packet, the PDCP packet generated by each of the plurality of PDCP entities. The bearer identifier is for identifying a bearer to which the specific packet belongs, from the plurality of bearers. The specific entity transmits the specific packet to the user terminal via the WLAN access point.
Abstract:
A user terminal includes a controller configured to: camp on a first cell on a first frequency, in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) idle mode; find a second cell on a second frequency available for Device-to-Device (D2D) communication in response to the user terminal having an interest in the D2D communication; designate the second frequency as a highest priority frequency of cell reselection, for reselection to the second cell; and designate the second frequency as the highest priority frequency while camping on the second frequency.
Abstract:
A communication control method applied to a mobile communication system, the mobile communication system including a home base station that forms a specific cell and a mobility management device that performs verification of a user terminal for access permission to the specific cell in a handover procedure of the user terminal to the specific cell, comprises a step A of transmitting, by the mobility management device, verification failure information indicating failure of the verification to the home base station when the verification is failed after the user terminal establishes a connection to the specific cell in the handover procedure and a step B of starting, by the home base station, a re-handover procedure of the user terminal to another cell from the specific cell while maintaining the connection in response to reception of the verification failure information from the mobility management device.
Abstract:
A terminal apparatus includes multiple visible light communicators including a first visible light communicator and a second visible light communicator, and a controller configured to control the multiple visible light communicators. The multiple visible light communicators each have a directivity in a different direction. The controller is configured to perform simultaneous communication control of the first visible light communicators, the first visible light communicator performing visible light communication with a first base station apparatus and the second visible light communicator performing visible light communication with a base station apparatus.
Abstract:
A user equipment, method used in user equipment, and apparatus for controlling a user equipment operate to receiving a connected mode DRX parameter configured by a base station, and transmit to the base station a message including information indicating a connected mode DRX parameter preferred by the user equipment. The connected mode DRX parameter preferred by the user equipment includes at least one of DRX-InactivityTimer, DRX-ShortCycle, and DRX-ShortCycleTimer.
