  • Publication number: 20110207467
    Abstract: A base station includes a scheduling unit and a call reception control unit. The call reception control unit includes a managing unit that updates total resource usage amount based on total resource allocation amount and manages the total resource usage amount, and a decision unit that adds an initial radio resource to be allocated to a new call to the total resource usage amount and decides whether the new call can be accepted. The managing unit updates the total resource usage amount by subtracting a radio resource in response to the release of an existing call that radio resource allocation being not controlled at each transmission time interval. The managing unit manages the total resource usage amount without subtracting a radio resource in response to the release of an existing call that radio resource allocation being controlled at each transmission time interval.

  • Publication number: 20110009100
    Abstract: A radio base station 200 includes a call process controller 105 and a baseband processor 109. The call process controller 105 notifies the baseband processor 109 of an offset of the baseband resource when accepting the priority call. The baseband processor 109 changes the baseband resource to be allocated to the normal call in a predetermined cycle and applies a resource use restriction based on the offset notified from the call process controller 105, the resource use restriction restricting the baseband resource to be allocated to the normal call within a range defined by subtracting the offset from a total baseband resource.
