Abstract

Abstract A mobile communication system includes base stations, mobile stations, first and second channel assigning section, and a channel ratio changing section. The base stations are installed in correspondence with cells constituting a service area. Each mobile station performs communication with the base station through one channel selected from the channels classified into first and second groups. The first channel assigning section uses a channel segregation scheme of controlling the priority of a channel set in each of the base stations on the basis of carrier to interference ratios of a channel belonging to the first group, measured at both the mobile station and the base station, and selects/assigns one idle channel in the first group on the basis of the controlled priority. The second channel assigning section uses an ARP scheme of selecting/assigning one idle channel in the second group according to a priority common to all the cells on the basis of carrier to interference ratios of a channel belonging to the second group, measured at both the mobile station and the base station. The channel ratio changing section changes the ratio of the number of channels belonging to the first group to that of channels belonging to the second group on the basis of channel assignment results.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim 215 words
A mobile communication system comprising: a plurality of base stations installed in correspondence with cells constituting a service area; a mobile station for performing communication with said base station through one channel selected from a plurality of channels classified into first and second groups; first channel assigning means using a channel segregation scheme of controlling a priority of a channel set in each of said base stations, on the basis of carrier to interference ratios of a channel belonging to the first group, which are measured at both said mobile station and said base station, and selecting and assigning one idle channel in the first group on the basis of the controlled priority; second channel assigning means using an Autonomous Reyse Partitioning scheme of selecting and assigning one idle channel in the second group according to a priority common to all the cells on the basis of carrier to interference ratios of a channel belonging to the second group which are measured at both said mobile station and said base station; and channel ratio changing means for changing a ratio of the number of channels belonging to the first group to that of channels belonging to the second group on the basis of channel assignment results obtained by said first and second channel assigning means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 215 words
A mobile communication system comprising: a plurality of base stations installed in correspondence with cells constituting a service area; a mobile station for performing communication with said base station through one channel selected from a plurality of channels classified into first and second groups; first channel assigning means using a channel segregation scheme of controlling a priority of a channel set in each of said base stations, on the basis of carrier to interference ratios of a channel belonging to the first group, which are measured at both said mobile station and said base station, and selecting and assigning one idle channel in the first group on the basis of the controlled priority; second channel assigning means using an Autonomous Reyse Partitioning scheme of selecting and assigning one idle channel in the second group according to a priority common to all the cells on the basis of carrier to interference ratios of a channel belonging to the second group which are measured at both said mobile station and said base station; and channel ratio changing means for changing a ratio of the number of channels belonging to the first group to that of channels belonging to the second group on the basis of channel assignment results obtained by said first and second channel assigning means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 71 words
A system according to claim 1, further comprising group switching means for, when a call is generated, starting said first channel assigning means to search the first group for one of idle channels which can be assigned, and when there is no channel in the first group which can be assigned, starting said second channel assigning means to search the second group for one of idle channels which can be assigned.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 31 words
A system according to claim 2, wherein said channel ratio changing means increases the number of channels belonging to the first group when an assigned channel belongs to the first group.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 40 words
A system according to claim 3, wherein said channel ratio changing means increases the number of channels belonging to the second group when an assigned channel belongs to the second group and there is no channel which can be assigned.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 31 words
A system according to claim 2, wherein said channel ratio changing means increases the number of channels belonging to the second group when an assigned channel belongs to the second group.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 40 words
A system according to claim 5, wherein said channel ratio changing means increases the number of channels belonging to the first group when an assigned channel belongs to the first group and there is no channel which can be assigned.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 71 words
A system according to claim 1, further comprising group switching means for, when a call is generated, starting said second channel assigning means to search the second group for one of idle channels which can be assigned, and when there is no channel in the second group which can be assigned, starting said first channel assigning means to search the first group for one of idle channels which can be assigned.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 31 words
A system according to claim 7, wherein said channel ratio changing means increases the number of channels belonging to the first group when an assigned channel belongs to the second group.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 40 words
A system according to claim 8, wherein said channel ratio changing means increases the number of channels belonging to the second group when an assigned channel belongs to the first group and there is no channel which can be assigned.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 31 words
A system according to claim 7, wherein said channel ratio changing means increases the number of channels belonging to the second group when an assigned channel belongs to the first group.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 40 words
A system according to claim 10, wherein said channel ratio changing means increases the number of channels belonging to the first group when an assigned channel belongs to the second group and there is no channel which can be assigned.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 26 words
A system according to claim 1, wherein each of said base stations comprises said first and second channel assigning means and said channel ratio changing means.
