Abstract: An active set control method for handover operation in a CDMA communications system in which propagation conditions of an uplink channel and a downlink channel for an access link of cell are different, provides that when a cell is deleted from the active set based on a request of a base station which has detected a degraded signal of the uplink channel, a predetermined period of time is to be counted for inhibiting addition of the same cell in the active set based on a request of a mobile terminal which has detected a satisfied signal of the downlink channel, thereby preventing the deletion and addition of the cell in the active set from successive operations in a short time.

Abstract: Base stations (100-1 to 100-3) communicate with terminals (102-1 to 102-2), divides a used frequency into a plurality of frequency blocks, and assigns the divided frequency block to terminal (102-1 to 102-2), in which a position at which terminal (102-1 to 102-2) exists is determined, and if it is determined that terminal (102-1 to 102-2) exists at the edge of cell (101-1 to 101-3), the assigned frequency block is set as a cell edge frequency block that is to be dynamically assigned at the edge of cell (101-1 to 101-3). In addition, if the cell edge frequency block has already been assigned to another terminal, this cell edge frequency block is assigned to terminal (102-1 to 102-2).

Abstract: The present invention provides a radio network system including a mobile station that leads in determining whether handover can be executed or not, wherein the handover is for switching a handover origin radio base station to a handover destination radio base station, wherein the handover destination radio base station reserves resources required for the handover based on a handover request from the mobile station and information on the mobile station required for the handover, and establishes a user plane path for transferring user information between itself and the handover origin node B.

Abstract: Disclosed is a mobile terminal transmission scheduling method for a mobile communication system. In each cell of this system, adjustment regions are provided externally adjacent to a soft-hand-over region. A mobile terminal (MT), upon entering this adjustment region, transmits an adjustment region scheduling request to a radio network controller (RNC) via a base station (BS) to which the MT currently belongs. The RNC transmits a scheduling adjustment start request to this BS. Upon receiving this request, this BS moves to an adjustment scheduling operating state and adjusts a scheduling control signal internally generated in the BS. The MT, upon exiting this adjustment region, transmits an adjustment region scheduling release request to the RNC via a BS to which the MT currently belongs. The RNC transmits a scheduling adjustment end request to this BS. Upon receiving this end request, this BS returns to a normal scheduling operating state.

Abstract: Disclosed is a mobile terminal transmission scheduling method for use in a base station within a mobile communication network. This method is executed in the following process. A base station acquires position information and a speed of a mobile terminal. When the base station judges that the mobile terminal is within the cell and outside the specified region and also judges that the speed is large, the base station outputs a scheduling adjustment indication signal. The base station normally transmits to a mobile terminal a scheduling control signal as it is that is generated within the basestation. Further, when the scheduling adjustment indication signal is generated, the base station transmits to the mobile terminal an additional scheduling control signal for instructing the mobile terminal to change its transmission rate.

Abstract: Each base station measures the reception states of an uplink high-speed signal from mobile terminals and periodically reports the measurement results to a radio network controller (RNC). The RNC determines cells that are to be deleted from an active set based on the reception states (for example, the reception SIR) that are reported from each base station. The RNC transmits to one base station and mobile terminal a radio line release request for releasing the radio line of the uplink high-speed signal that has been set to a cell that has been determined as a cell to be deleted from the active set. The base station and mobile terminal that have received the radio line release request from the RNC each release the radio line, whereby the cells of other base stations are eliminated from the active set.
