The first base station device includes a request notifying unit configured to notify the mobile station device of a request for carrier aggregation. The mobile station device includes: a cell search unit configured to, upon receiving the request, perform cell search and thereby search the second base station device available for carrier aggregation; and a base station notifying unit configured to notify the first base station device of information indicating the second base station device detected by the cell search unit performing the cell search. | 02-19-2015 |
20150050941 | WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, COMMUNICATION METHOD, BASE STATION, AND COMMUNICATION TERMINAL - A wireless communication system, a communication method, a base station, and a communication terminal are provided. The wireless communication system includes a base station, and a communication terminal that can communicate with the base station through a plurality of frequency bands. The wireless communication system includes a first notification module provided at one of the base station and communication terminal for notifying the other of the base station and communication terminal of a switching preparation request when a state is detected in which the frequency band used as the main frequency band among the plurality of frequency bands is to be switched, and a second notification module that notifies one of the base station and communication terminal of frequency band switching preparation completion in response to a determination of being in a state in which the frequency band used as the main frequency band is to be switched. | 02-19-2015 |
20150163728 | WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, WIRELESS COMMUNICATION METHOD, MOBILE STATION DEVICE, AND BASE STATION DEVICE - A wireless communication system includes a plurality of base station devices, and a mobile station device configured to communicate with the plurality of base station devices. The mobile station device includes: a necessity determining unit configured to refer to a communication state of a first base station device that is a base station device in communication with the mobile station device, and determine necessity of carrier aggregation; a cell search unit configured to, in a case that the necessity determining unit determines that carrier aggregation is necessary, search a communication available base station device from the plurality of base station devices; and a carrier aggregation requesting unit configured to, in a case that at least one communication available base station device is detected by the search, transmit a request for carrier aggregation to the first base station device, thus providing a wireless communication system that can obtain an excellent speed. | 06-11-2015 |

20090129824 | TONER CARRYING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A toner carrying device includes a flexible sheet, and a sheet moving mechanism for allowing the flexible sheet to move back and forth by pulling the flexible sheet. In the flexible sheet, a toner passage hole for leaving a first opening section of a toner carrying pipe to open is provided. In a case where the toner passage hole is divided into first through three areas in such a manner that (i) the first area is provided on a side of one end of the flexible sheet in a direction orthogonal to a moving direction of the flexible sheet; (ii) the second area is provided on a side of the other end of the flexible sheet in the direction orthogonal to the moving direction; and (iii) the third area is provided between the first area and the second area, the third area extends broader in the moving direction than respective of the first and second areas. This allows the flexible sheet partially having the toner passage hole in its area to move smoothly. | 05-21-2009 |

The discharge outlet serves to send out toner stored in the toner storage chamber, and the conveying screw serves to convey the toner stored in the toner storage chamber. Further, before the toner cartridge mounted into an image forming apparatus, the blocking wall is located in a space between a toner area, which is an area in the toner storage chamber where the toner exists, and the discharge outlet, thereby putting the space in a blocked state. The toner cartridge further includes a driving mechanism for, when the toner cartridge has been mounted into the image forming apparatus, driving the conveying screw by power transmitted from the image forming apparatus, so as to cancel the blocked state. | 06-25-2009 |
