Inventor(s): Daichi Ishikura of Tokyo (JP) for nec corporation

IPC Code(s): H04W56/00



Abstract: time synchronization is precisely carried out based on pieces of time information in at least two time synchronization schemes. a time synchronization apparatus () includes: an acquisition section () that acquires pieces of time information of at least two time synchronization schemes among a plurality of time synchronization schemes; an extraction section () that extracts reliability of each of the pieces of time information; and a time synchronization section () that carries out time synchronization by deciding synchronization time information based on the reliability of each of the pieces of time information.

Inventor(s): Satoshi Ohara of Tokyo (JP) for nec corporation, Yoshio Ueda of Tokyo (JP) for nec corporation

IPC Code(s): H04W76/30



Abstract: provided is a technique that enables more efficient utilization of a communication resource at the occurrence of disconnection of an interface between a base station and a core network or an interface within the core network. a process of receiving an rrc release that is an rrc message transmitted from a base station and a process of transmitting, to the base station, an rrc release complete as a response to the rrc release are carried out. the rrc release complete includes, as an nas message, a pdu session release complete that is a response to a pdu session release command which is included, as an nas message, in the rrc release.
