Abstract: Admission control wireless resources including abase station which obtains a down wireless resource available rate based on a down QoS requested bandwidth Bi requested by a terminal i during QoS communication and a data rate Ri which the terminal can receive. A down wireless resource usage rate is obtained by dividing a down QoS requested bandwidth B requested by the terminal trying to perform QoS communication by the data rate R which the terminal can receive. An up wireless resource available rate is obtained based on ROT of an up channel and a threshold value T1 indicating an allowable upper limit of the ROT. The QoS communication is performed on the terminal in which the up and down wireless resource available rates are respectively equal to or more than the up and down wireless resource usage rates.

Abstract: In a wireless communications system operating according to CDMA or the like, when one terminal simultaneously performs communication using multiple wireless resources (e.g., multiple carriers), there was a problem that when it was attempted to guarantee network mobility by the same soft handoff system as in the case where communication was performed using only one wireless resource, efficiency suffered from the viewpoint of network forwarding load, processing load and wireless resource occupancy time. Soft handoff termination is judged and soft handoff is forcibly terminated according to whether or not the data rate obtained for all resources on the network side satisfies a requested rate, based on a reception state notification from a terminal concerning wireless resources.

Abstract: Admission control wireless resources including abase station which obtains a down wireless resource available rate based on a down QoS requested bandwidth Bi requested by a terminal i during QoS communication and a data rate Ri which the terminal can receive. A down wireless resource usage rate is obtained by dividing a down QoS requested bandwidth B requested by the terminal trying to perform QoS communication by the data rate R which the terminal can receive. An up wireless resource available rate is obtained based on ROT of an up channel and a threshold value T1 indicating an allowable upper limit of the ROT. The QoS communication is performed on the terminal in which the up and down wireless resource available rates are respectively equal to or more than the up and down wireless resource usage rates.

Abstract: There is provided admission control in view of wireless resources. A base station 120 obtains a down wireless resource available rate (available rate of slot allocation) based on a down QoS requested bandwidth Bi requested by a terminal i during QoS communication and a data rate Ri which the terminal can receive. A down wireless resource usage rate necessary to ensure the requested bandwidth B is obtained by dividing a down QoS requested bandwidth B requested by the terminal trying to perform QoS communication by the data rate R which the terminal can receive. The base station 120 obtains an up wireless resource available rate based on ROT of an up channel and a threshold value T1 indicating an allowable upper limit of the ROT. Besides, an up wireless resource usage rate necessary to ensure an up requested bandwidth requested by the terminal is obtained.

When the positional information is received from the radio terminal, the base station controller selects the base station being a handoff candidate, on the basis of the positional information of the radio terminal, the positional information of each base station and the decision condition of the handoff operation with reference to the table, and it transmits a handoff request message which contains the information on the frequency of the base station being the handoff candidate, to the radio terminal through the base station communicating with the radio terminal.

Abstract: The present invention is to accommodate a large number of users required in a digital radio communication system and to prevent communication quality from deteriorating. The present invention is to prevent the occurrence of a delay by adding a process for restricting packet assignment for a call having low communication quality. When the average DRC value is equal to or smaller than a threshold, assigned slots are thinned out to improve communication quality for radio terminals close to cell boundaries and to increase the number of radio terminals accommodated. As a method for thinning out assigned slots, packets received from an upper level unit of a radio base station are, for example, discarded before transmission as long as the lowest limit sound quality is maintained. With this operation, the lowest limit sound quality is ensured.

Abstract: A hand-off control method (FIG. 4) for suppressing reverse radio wave interference between radio access terminals and for accelerating hand-off, in which when a base station of greatest forward reception power has changed from a BTS1 to a BTS2 in a forward link, the radio access terminal (AT) alters the ID of a designated communication-destination base station to the BTS2 in an R-CQICH transmitted cyclically, and it makes a hand-off request after having increased transmission power of the R-CQICH a fixed quantity (403-406). The BTS1 does not transmit an FLAB and data. The BTS2 receives the R-CQICH (406) and succeeds in demodulation, thereby to recognize that the BTS2 has been designated as the communication-destination base station, and it transmits (407) an FLAB after execution and completion of a hand-off process.

Abstract: A wireless access terminal, after handoff, adds channel quality information calculated in the wireless access terminal to a header of transmit data and transmits this data until a wireless base station succeeds in receiving at least one or more packets. The wireless base station, when having succeeded in receiving a packet for the first time after the handoff, extracts the channel quality information from a received header to initialize channel quality information inside the wireless base station. Subsequently, the wireless base station autonomously updates the channel quality information in response to success or failure of packet reception and controls the transmission rate.
