Abstract:
A base station is used for a mobile communication system that supports a dual connectivity. The base station includes a controller configured to establish an RRC connection with a user terminal, and to perform a mobility control in the dual connectivity.
Abstract:
A UE performs a first communication with a base station provided in a cellular communication network and performs a second communication with an access point provided in a WLAN. The UE performs a cellular/WLAN interworking to perform a switch between the first communication and the second communication. The UE performs the switch between the first communication and the second communication based on a RAN assistance parameter provided from the cellular communication network. The UE determines, after an elapse of a predetermined time from an event that all of the first communication was switched to the second communication based on a first RAN assistance parameter provided as the RAN assistance parameter, whether to perform a switch from the second communication to the first communication based on a second RAN assistance parameter newly provided as the RAN assistance parameter.
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 communication control method comprises: transmitting, by a communication apparatus, a Device to Device (D2D) resource notification to a user terminal. The D2D resource notification includes information indicating a predetermined D2D radio resource available in a D2D proximity service and information indicating a condition not allowing for use of the predetermined D2D radio resource.
Abstract:
A communication control method comprises: transmitting, by a user terminal to a base station, a message including information notifying the base station of the user terminal having an interest in receiving a discovery signal in a discovery procedure for discovering a proximal terminal, and information of a frequency in the discovery procedure, when the user terminal has an interest in the discovery procedure. The user terminal notifies the base station of a request for a gap for receiving the discovery signal.
Abstract:
UE 100 receives, when a connection with eNB 200 is established by the UE 100, from the eNB 200, preamble information indicating a random access preamble to be used in a random access procedure when establishing again a connection with the eNB 200. The UE 100 holds, without discarding, the preamble information even when the UE 100 establishes a connection with AP 300 and releases the connection with the eNB 200.
Abstract:
A user terminal includes a controller configured to perform a network selection operation for selecting an access network in which the user terminal exchanges traffic from among a cellular RAN (Radio Access Network) and a wireless LAN (Local Area Network). The controller performs processes of: receiving wireless LAN identifiers for using the network selection operation, the wireless LAN identifiers broadcasted from a cellular base station, and receiving offload related information for prompting the user terminal to steer the traffic to the wireless LAN, the offload related information broadcasted from the cellular base station.
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.
Abstract:
In a communication method according to one embodiment, a base station in a LTE system transmits to a user equipment, configuration information configuring an LTE-WLAN Aggregation (LWA) bearer using both radio resources of the LTE system and radio resource of a WLAN system. The configuration information includes first information indicating a threshold value for an amount of data. The user equipment configures the LWA bearer based on the configuration information. The user equipment transmits, in response to an amount of data belonging to the LWA bearer being equal to or more than the threshold value, the data by using the radio resources of both the LTE system and the WLAN system. The user equipment transmits, in response to the amount of data belonging to the LWA bearer being below the threshold value, the data by using the radio resource of either the LTE system or the WLAN system.
Abstract:
A radio terminal according to an embodiment is to be connected to a base station of WWAN (Wireless Wide Area Network). The radio terminal receives, from the base station, a setting message instructing a connection process between the radio terminal and a WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network). The setting message including timer information setting a timer for determining a failure of the connection process between the radio terminal and the WLAN. The radio terminal starts a timer based on the timer information. The radio terminal determines that the connection process has failed, if the timer expires. The radio terminal transmits, to the base station, a failure message indicating a failure of the connection process. The failure message includes information indicating that a cause of the failure of the connection process is timeout.
