  • Publication number: 20100081391
    Abstract: A wireless communication system capable of using a plurality of frequency channels in a first predetermined frequency band being adjacent a second predetermined frequency band used in another wireless communication system, the wireless communication system includes a base station and a mobile station. The base station sends a notification for limiting each power of the plurality of frequency channels to the mobile station. The mobile station transmits data to the base station by the use of at least one of the frequency channel, and controlling data transmitting power based upon the notification. When the frequency channel for the data transmitting need more transmitting power and the frequency channel for the data transmitting is adjacent to the second predetermined frequency band, the mobile station change the frequency channel for the data transmitting.
