Abstract

PURPOSE:To efficiently implement connection at calling by allowing its own node equipment to manage communication opposite parties whose frequency of use is high. CONSTITUTION:A position information request section 2 makes transmission by providing its own node equipment number and a terminal equipment number to a communication opposite party registered by a communication opposite party management section 1 at the initial setting. Then a destination node equipment receives this message, and a position information notice destination revision section 4 registers a notice destination number and its terminal number to a position information notice destination management section 3. When a destination node equipment moves to other node equipment, a position information revision section 8 of a node equipment of destination revises the position information of the terminal equipment of a position information management section. Since the terminal number is coincident with a terminal number registered in the management section 3 in this case, a position information notice section 5 sends a message or the like with the node equipment number, the terminal number and the position information added thereto to the notice destination. The node equipment receiving them uses a communication opposite party position revision section 6 to revise the position information of the communication opposite party managed by the management section 1.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the system configuration of the mobile communication system.

First, a communication partner (terminal 21 of the node device 2) having a high frequency of use in transmission from the node device 1 is registered in the communication partner position management unit 1. At the time of initial setting, the own node device number and the terminal number are given to the communication partner (node device 2) registered in the communication partner position management unit 1, and the position information requesting unit 2 transmits it by a message or the like. Then, the node device 2 receives this message, and the location information notification destination update unit 4 registers the notification destination number (node device 1) and the terminal number in the location information notification destination management unit 3. Terminal 21 of node device 2
Is moved to the node device 3, the position information updating unit 8 of the node device 2 updates the position information of the terminal 21 of the position information managing unit 7 in response to the position information being transmitted to the node device 2. At this time, since it matches the terminal number (21) registered in the location information notification destination management unit 3, the location information notification unit 5 notifies the notification destination (node device 1) of the node device number (2) and the terminal number (21). ) And position information (node device 3) are attached to the message. The node device (node device 1) receiving this message updates the position information of the communication partner managed by the communication partner position management unit 1 by the communication partner position updating unit 6.

Next, when there is a call from the node device 1 to the terminal 21 of the node device 2, first, the communication partner position management unit 1 is searched to identify the communication partner, and if it is a matching communication partner, its position information is acquired. Based on the above, the node device 3 is directly connected. If no matching communication partner is found, the position information management unit 7 is searched, or the position information inquiry unit 10 confirms the position to another node device (node device 2) and connects to the node device 3.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, by directly managing a communication partner with a high frequency of use in the own node device, it is possible to directly connect to another node device without inquiring the position information.

Further, even if a communication partner with a high frequency of use is not registered in advance, the communication partner use frequency measuring unit 9 can count the number of uses for each communication partner at the time of calling, and this number of uses is a constant value. When it becomes, the communication partner position update unit 6 can register it in the communication partner position management unit 1 and request the corresponding node device from the position information request unit 2.
