Abstract:
A base station (1) is connectable to a mobile station (4) by a plurality of Radio Access Technologies (RATs) including first and second RATs. The base station (1) is configured to be able to use a communication path (400) that passes through a first upstream network (140) corresponding to the first RAT, when the mobile station (4) performs communication via the second RAT. This enables, for example, efficient use of the upstream networks when the Multi-RAT base station (1) supports a plurality of upstream networks.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a radio terminal (2) is used in a radio communication system (100) and communicates with a radio station (1). The radio terminal (2) includes a measurement unit (20). The measurement unit (20) operates to perform, using a terminal measurement procedure for executing a first terminal measurement corresponding to radio access technology applied to the radio communication system (100), a second terminal measurement of a shared frequency shared by a plurality of radio systems including the radio communication system (100). This embodiment therefore contributes to simplification of a measurement function which should be supported by the radio terminal when the radio communication system uses a shared frequency (e.g., TVWS) shared by the plurality of radio systems.
Abstract:
A D2D communication control apparatus (10) according to the present invention includes: a communication unit (11) configured to receive determination information that can be used to determine whether a plurality of radio terminals are capable of performing direct communication with another radio terminal; and a selection unit (12) configured to select, in a situation in which a first radio terminal included in the plurality of radio terminals is performing D2D communication with a relay radio terminal that performs cellular communication with a network, a radio terminal in which the determination information between the radio terminal and the relay radio terminal satisfies a predetermined condition among radio terminals capable of performing D2D communication with the first radio terminal, as a preliminary relay radio terminal.
Abstract:
To solve a problem that unless all of a plurality of AICH signature states are correctly decoded, the contents of reception results cannot be recognized and the error rate of signature decoding will be high. In this embodiment, a base station uses, out of a signature combination, the signature of at least one predetermined position to indicate information containing a preamble reception result and uses the signature of a position other than the predetermined position to indicate a transmission profile information number of an uplink channel for notification to a user equipment. Thus, the error rate related to reception results can be reduced as compared with the case where a single signature combination is used to notify all pieces of information.
Abstract:
A radio terminal (1) updates a preconfigured radio parameter (409, 814) stored in a memory (406, 810) coupled to the radio terminal (1). The preconfigured radio parameter (409, 814) is used by the radio terminal (1) to perform at least one of discovery and direct communication without the assistance of a Public Land Mobile Network (100). This contributes, for example, to flexible adaptation to conditions under which the ProSe communication without the assistance of a network is performed.
Abstract:
A method and a device for estimating a communication load, as well as a radio station and an upper-level apparatus in a radio communication system, are provided that can estimate a communication load in a target network with high accuracy by using received quality information. A communication load estimation function (1) for estimating a communication load in a network (NW) estimates the communication load in the network by using at least a first quality indicator (Q1), which is a quality measurement value including entire received power, and a second quality indicator (Q2), which is a quality measurement value including the signal-to-noise-and-interference ratio of a reference signal.
Abstract:
A management apparatus includes: an extraction section that, on the basis of an electric power quantity of each of the plurality of electric vehicles, the electric power quantity being indicated by electric power quantity information, extracts at least one of the electric vehicles that is among the plurality of electric vehicles and that corresponds to an electric power state of one or more of the plurality of charging facilities, the one or more being included in a target area; and a transmission section that transmits information pertaining to the target area to at least one of the at least one of the electric vehicles that has been extracted by the extraction section.
Abstract:
Signal information acquisition means acquires signal information about a traffic light installed on a road. Video acquisition means acquires a video photographed near a first parking lot entrance facing the road. Prediction means predicts whether or not a queue of waiting vehicles will be formed near the first parking lot entrance based on the video near the first parking lot entrance and the signal information. Selection means selects, from among a plurality of the parking lot entrances including the first parking lot entrance, a parking lot entrance to which a vehicle is to be guided based on a result of the prediction performed by the prediction means. Notification means notifies the vehicle of the parking lot entrance selected by the selection means.
Abstract:
To transmit, to a terminal, communication data corresponding to the characteristics of a network to which the terminal is connected while lightening the terminal-side processing load, a relay device comprises a reception unit configured to receive communication data addressed to a terminal from a communication device, at least one memory configured to store instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to determine a compression parameter for the communication data on the basis of the characteristics of the network used for communication with the terminal, and a transmission unit configured to transmit the communication data compressed using the compression parameter to the terminal.
Abstract:
A boarding assistance system includes a reception part for receiving a combination of information of a passenger vehicle which has been reserved by a user and information of the user who has reserved from a vehicle allocation system which allocates a passenger vehicle; an image acquisition part for acquiring a shot image of the user who has reserved by selecting any of the plurality of fixed-point cameras installed on a roadside based on the information of the user; and a display part for displaying information for identifying the user of the passenger vehicle on a predetermined display apparatus using the shot image of the user.
