Abstract
Efficient connection selection is made possible when a mobile station capable of wirelessly connecting directly to a mobile network is also capable of connecting to another mobile network via another mobile station. A first mobile station (10) connectable to a first network (30) and a second mobile station (20) connectable to a second network (40) are included, wherein the first mobile station has a function of connecting to the second network via the second mobile station, and the first mobile station sends an activation request for connection selection control to the second mobile station.
Claims40
A communication system including a plurality of networks, comprising:
- a first mobile station connectable to a first network;
- and a second mobile station connectable to a second network, wherein the first mobile station has a function of connecting to the second network via the second mobile station,
- wherein the first mobile station sends an activation request to activate connection selection control to the second mobile station.
A connection selection control method in a communication system including a first mobile station connectable to a first network and a second mobile station connectable to a second network, wherein the first mobile station has a function of connecting to the second network via the second mobile station, wherein
- the first mobile station sends a activation request for connection selection control to the second mobile station.
A communication device in a communication system including first and second networks and a mobile station connectable to the first network, wherein the communication device can connect to the second network and has a function of allowing the mobile station to connect to the second network, comprising:
- a connection selection controller for selecting a network for the mobile station to connect to, in response to a activation request for connection selection control received from the mobile station.
A communication device in a communication system including a first mobile station connectable to a first network and a second mobile station connectable to a second network, wherein the first mobile station has a function of connecting to the second network via the second mobile station, the communication device being provided in an upper-level network than a base station in the second network, comprising:
- a connection selection controller for selecting a network for the first mobile station to connect to, in response to a activation request for connection selection control received from the first mobile station.
A communication device in a communication system including first and second networks and a mobile station connectable to the second network, wherein the communication device can connect to the first network and is capable of wirelessly communicating with the mobile station, comprising:
- a connection controller that sends a activation request for connection selection control to the mobile station.
A communication control method for a communication device in a communication system including first and second networks and a mobile station connectable to the first network, wherein the communication device can connect to the second network and has a function of allowing the mobile station to connect to the second network, comprising:
- selecting a network for the mobile station to connect to, in response to a activation request for connection selection control received from the mobile station.
A communication control method for a communication device in a communication system including a first mobile station connectable to a first network and a second mobile station connectable to a second network, wherein the first mobile station has a function of connecting to the second network via the second mobile station, the communication device being provided in an upper-level network than a base station in the second network, comprising:
- selecting a network for the first mobile station to connect to, in response to a activation request for connection selection control received from the first mobile station.
A communication control method for a communication device in a communication system including first and second networks and a mobile station connectable to the second network, wherein the communication device can connect to the first network and is capable of wirelessly communicating with the mobile station, comprising:
- sending a activation request for connection selection control to the mobile station.
