- the operations from Step d-1 to Step d-8 are the same as those shown in FIG. 12, and therefore description thereof is omitted.
- step d-9 if the resource allocation fails, the base station B returns a resource allocation failure message to the control station.
- the control station when receiving the resource allocation failure message, determines the second base station C as a handover destination candidate as the handover destination base station, Repeat the sequence after 8.
- the control station if the handover destination base station is not found among the notified handover destination candidate base stations, the control station notifies the mobile terminal that the handover has failed, and performs the handover destination base station determination again. Is also advantageous.
- FIG. 14 shows an operation when the control station in FIG. 1 determines and requests a handover of a mobile terminal, and determines a handover destination base station candidate. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the mobile terminal is communicating with base station A.
- each base station transmits a broadcast signal periodically.
- each base station notifies its free resource information to the control station.
- the control station it is also possible for the control station to inquire of each base station at the free radio resource measuring section 406 to collect free radio resource information. The latter method is advantageous in that, when the frequency is low, the amount of information flowing through the network is reduced, and network traffic can be reduced.
- the mobile terminal measures the received power of the broadcast signal from the peripheral base station.
- the mobile terminal notifies the control station of a list of base stations having received power satisfying the specified value.
- step e-5 the control station determines the trigger for handover of the mobile terminal by some method. This can be determined, for example, by receiving the report of the received power list in step e-4 and comparing the received power of the base station A during communication with the handover threshold. If it is determined that handover is better, the required resource amount is measured. This is performed by the required radio resource measurement unit 4 12. For example, it is possible to estimate necessary radio resources from the communication speed of the mobile terminal.
- step e_6 the mobile station decides to perform a handover and, after estimating the required resource amount, the control base station determining unit 408 determines the handover destination base station in the procedure (FIG. 4). To start. However, it should be noted that base stations that satisfy the prescribed reception power have already been notified. The control station selects a base station whose available resource amount exceeds the required resource amount from among base stations satisfying the prescribed reception power, and determines a base station with the smallest available resource amount as the handover destination base station from among them. I do. In Step e-7, the control station instructs the determined base station B to the radio resource allocating unit 410 to allocate the requested resource to the mobile terminal.
- step e-8 when the base station B succeeds in resource allocation, it transmits a resource allocation success message to the control station.
- step e-9 upon receiving the resource allocation success message, the control station notifies the mobile terminal of the connected base station information.
- step e-10 the mobile terminal disconnects communication with the base station A.
- step e-11 the mobile terminal and the base station B start communication when they are synchronized.
- the resource allocation fails in step e-7, It is necessary to set a destination base station.
- the connection destination base station determination unit 408 creates a list of connection destination candidate base stations, which can be stored in the memory 405.
- the connection destination base station in step e-7 is the first base station for catching.
- FIG. 15 shows an operation example when resource allocation in step e_7 has failed.
- the operations from Steps e-1 to e-7 are the same as those shown in FIG. 14, and therefore description thereof is omitted.
- step e-8 base station B returns a resource allocation failure message to the control station if the resource allocation fails.
- step e-9 upon receiving the resource allocation failure message, the control station determines the second base station C for handover prediction as the handover destination base station, and the sequence from step e-7 onward is repeated. Is done.
- the handover destination base station is not found among the notified handover destination candidate base stations, the mobile terminal is notified of the handover failure, and the handover destination base station determination is performed again. Is also advantageous.
- the radio base station having the minimum free radio resource amount is determined as the connection destination among the radio base stations that can be the connection destination from the viewpoint of the reception power and the free radio resource amount.
- the connection destination for new or handover is determined in this way, there are radio base stations with a small amount of free radio resources and radio base stations with a large amount of free radio resources in the service area.
- a mobile terminal that requires only a small amount of wireless resources determines the former wireless base station as a connection destination.
- a mobile terminal requesting a large amount of wireless resources can determine the latter wireless base station as a connection destination.
- the embodiment of the present invention it is possible to prepare for communication requiring a large amount of wireless resources by making the usage rate of the wireless resources of each wireless base station uneven. For this reason, the new connection rate of mobile terminals that perform high-speed data transmission will be higher than before. Furthermore, in order to make the usage rate of the radio resources of each radio base station uneven, it is not necessary to select the radio base station having the least available radio resource amount as the connection destination, and more generally, Having the largest amount of free resources It is possible to select a wireless base station different from the wireless base station as a wireless base station to connect to.
- the radio base station having the least amount of free radio resources is determined. It is desirable to select as the connection destination.
