  • Publication number: 20140314050
    Abstract: A mobile communication system includes a radio base stations and further includes a determination unit for determining, on the basis of attribute information of the radio base stations, whether to establish a logical interface between the radio base stations. Since it is arranged that the determination unit determines, on the basis of attribute information of the radio base stations, whether to establish a logical interface between the radio base stations, the establishment of unnecessary logical interface (i.e., logical interface for which the necessity of maintenance is low) can be suppressed.

  • Publication number: 20080108311
    Abstract: A radio communication system includes a user apparatus, a base transceiver station and a radio network controller. The base transceiver station requests the user apparatus to resend data when the base transceiver station does not receive the data, and counts the number of sending of the data sent from the user apparatus. The radio network controller receives, from the base transceiver station, the number of sending of the data sent from the user apparatus, and determines a target Signal to Interference Ratio (SIR) based on the number of sending of the data sent from the user apparatus.
