Compact base station device and signaling method

摘要

Provided is compact base station device that reduces the processing load with an upper layer network device by reducing the amount of signaling with an upper layer network device. In the device, a CSG member management device (102) stores CSG member information beforehand. A network message generation unit (107) generates a message used for collectively registering the CSG member terminals stored in the CSG member management unit (102), in an upper layer network device. At startup, a network interface unit (108) transmits a message generated by the network message generation unit (107) to the upper layer network device. In response to the message transmitted by the network interface unit (108), a network message analysis unit (106) acquires from the upper layer network device parameter information for connecting to the CSG member terminals.

主权项

1. A small cell comprising:
a management section configured to store group information indicating grouped terminals; a registration section configured to register each of the grouped terminals indicated by the group information with an upper layer network apparatus, regardless of whether or not the each of the grouped terminals is to be connected; an acquisition section configured to acquire from the upper layer network apparatus, as a response to the registering, parameters for establishing a connection of each of the grouped terminals; a reception section configured to receive a connection request from one of the grouped terminals; and a connection section configured to establish a connection of the one of the grouped terminals based on the acquired parameter corresponding to the one of the grouped terminals, without signaling to the upper layer network apparatus.
