Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In a communication system, a plurality of base stations includes an MeNB being a first base station, and a plurality of SeNBs to be connected to the MeNB. At least one of control plane data about control of communication and user plane data about a user is transmitted to and received from a user equipment (UE) via the first base station being the MeNB. The control plane data and the user plane data are contained in information provided by a core network about communication with the UE. The communication system can simplify processing of at least one of control plane data and user plane data when a communication terminal device communicates with a plurality of base station devices.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A communication system comprising: a communication terminal device; a plurality of base station devices configured to perform radio communication with the communication terminal device; and a core network configured to provide information about the communication with the communication terminal device to the plurality of base station devices, wherein the plurality of base station devices include a master base station device configured to perform main processing, and a plurality of secondary base station devices to be connected to the master base station device, at least one of control plane data about control of the communication and user plane data about a user is transmitted to and received from the communication terminal device via the master base station device, the control plane data and the user plane data being contained in the information provided by the core network about the communication with the communication terminal device, and one of the plurality of secondary base station devices notifies the communication terminal device of at least a part of broadcast information for at least another one of the plurality of secondary base station devices. 2. The communication system according to claim 1 , wherein the core network provides the control plane data to the master base station device, and the master base station device provides the control plane data provided by the core network to the communication terminal device, and also provides the control plane data provided by the core network to the communication terminal device via the plurality of secondary base station devices. 3. The communication system according to claim 1 , wherein the core network provides the user plane data to the master base station device, and the master base station device provides the user plane data provided by the core network to the communication terminal device, and also provides the user plane data provided by the core network to the communication terminal device via the plurality of secondary base station devices. 4. The communication system according to claim 1 , wherein one of the plurality of secondary base station devices performs radio resource control processing on each of the plurality of secondary base station devices. 5. The communication system according to claim 1 , wherein the one of the plurality of secondary base station devices notifies the communication terminal device of at least the part of broadcast information for each of the plurality of secondary base station devices.
