DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description of the drawings, identical or similar constituents will be designated by identical or similar reference numerals. It is to be noted, however, that the drawings are merely schematic.

(Configuration of Mobile Communication System)

FIG. 1 shows a configuration example of a mobile communication system to which a communication control method is applied according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the mobile communication system, communication using a shared physical channel and communication using dedicated physical channels are mixed in the same radio frequency band. Moreover, FIG. 1 describes an arbitrary radio frequency band in which communication using the shared physical channel is performed. The arbitrary radio frequencyband is selected from multiple radio frequency bands.

As shown in FIG. 1, a mobile communication system 1000 of this embodiment includes a plurality of mobile stations, 11, 12, . . . , and 20, a radio base station 30 configured to perform radio communications with the mobile stations 11, 12, . . . , and 20, and a radio control station 40 configured to control communication between the radio base station 30 and the mobile stations 11, 12, . . . , and 20. The mobile stations 11 to 18 perform communication (HSDPA) using the above-mentioned shared physical channel on a downlink. The mobile station 19 performs communication using the dedicated physical channel on a downlink. A cell 50 indicates an area to which the base station 30 is able to offer communication capability. Here, the mobile stations 11, 12, . . . , and 19 have already been in the state of communication with the base station 30 in the cell 50. The mobile station 20 is in the state of an attempt to newly start communication with the base station 30 in the cell 50.

In the following description, the mobile stations 11, 12, . . . , and 19 currently communicating with the radio base station 30 will be hereinafter collectively referred to as the mobile station n (n≧1) unless otherwise specified because these mobile stations are in the same state and having the same configuration and functions. Meanwhile, the mobile station 20 will be hereinafter used as an example of the mobile station in the state of an attempt to newly start communication.

Communication channels concerning the HSDPA representing an example of communication using the shared physical channel will now be described. The downlink in the HSDPA uses a downlink shared physical channel HS-PDSCH (which stands for High Speed—Physical Downlink Shared Channel, or may be also referred to HS-DSCH: High Speed Downlink Shared Channel in light of a transport channel) which is shared by the respective mobile stations 11, 12, . . . , and 18. The downlink in the HSDPA also uses a downlink shared control channel HS-SCCH (which stands for High Speed—Shared Control Channel) which is shared by the respective mobile stations, and downlink associated dedicated physical channels A-DPCH (which stands for Associated—Dedicated Physical Channel) which are associated with the shared physical channel and allocated dedicatedly to the respective mobile stations. In the meantime, the uplink in the HSDPA applies uplink dedicated physical channels DPCH which are allocated dedicatedly to the respective mobile stations, and control channels HS-DPCCH (which stands for High Speed—Dedicated Physical Control Channel) for the HSDPA which are allocated dedicatedly to the respective mobile stations.

Next, a configuration of the radio control station of this embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the radio control station 40 includes a monitor 41 configured to monitor a call using a dedicated physical channel (hereinafter, referred to as “a dedicated physical channel call”) and a call acceptance judging unit 42. It is to be noted, however, that FIG. 2 describes only the portions related to the communication control method according to the present invention from functions of the radio control station 40 and other functions are omitted herein. The monitor 41 and the call acceptance judging unit 42 are connected to each other. Moreover, the monitor 41 and the call acceptance judging unit 42 are also connected to the radio base station 30.

The monitor 41 measures at least one of a proportion of power used for the dedicated physical channel to total transmission power, the number of used codes, a baseband use rate at the radio base station, the number of calls for high rate packets, and the number of calls for high rate videophones, and retains the value.

The call acceptance judging unit 42 (a controller) makes a judgment as to whether or not it is appropriate to accept a dedicated physical channel call in a radio frequency band subject to a connection request by using at least one piece of the information among the proportion of the power used for the dedicated physical channels to the total transmission power, the number of used codes, the baseband use rate at the radio base station, the number of calls for high rate packets, and the number of calls for high rate videophones obtained by the monitor 41.

Next, the communication control method in the mobile communication system of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4.

An operation when the mobile station newly requests a dedicated physical channel call in the radio frequency band in which communication using the shared physical channel is performed will be described with reference to FIG. 3. Here, the monitor and the call acceptance judging unit are located in the radio control station.

First, the mobile station newly requests the dedicated physical channel call in the radio frequency band in which communication using the shared physical channel is performed and notifies the radio control station of the request (S101).

Next, the radio control station receives the request (S102). Then, in terms of calls using existing dedicated physical channels (hereinafter, referred to as “existing dedicated physical channel calls”) and the newly requested dedicated physical channel call in the radio frequency band subject to the connection request, the radio control station judges whether or not it is appropriate to accept the requested call (S103) based on at least one piece of the information among:

the proportion of the power, the number of used codes, the baseband use rate of the radio base station; andthe number of calls for high rate packets, the number of calls for high rate videophones.

Thereafter, the radio control station notifies the radio base station of the radio frequency band in which the requested call shall be connected based on the judgment result (S104).

The radio base station transmits a requested new call in the radio frequency band notified by the radio control station (S105). The mobile station performs communication of the requested new call in the ratio frequency band notified by the radio control station (S106).

Next, an operation when the radio control station newly requests a dedicated physical channel call in the radio frequencyband in which communication using the shared physical channel is performed will be described with reference to FIG. 4. Here, the monitor and the call acceptance judging unit are located in the radio control station.

First, the radio control station newly requests the dedicated physical channel call in the radio frequency band in which communication using the shared physical channel is performed (S201). After receiving the request, in terms of the existing dedicated physical channel calls and the newly requested dedicated physical channel call in the radio frequency band subject to the connection request, the radio control station judges whether or not it is appropriate to accept the requested call (S202) based on at least one piece of the information among:

the proportion of the power, the number of used codes, the baseband use rate of the radio base station; andthe number of calls for high rate packets, the number of calls for high rate videophones.

Thereafter, the radio control station notifies the radio base station of the radio frequency band in which the requested call shall be connected based on the judgment result (S203).

The radio base station transmits the requested new call in the radio frequency band notified by the radio control station (S204). The mobile station performs communication of the requested new call in the ratio frequency band notified by the radio control station (S205).

Next, the above-described operations (S103 in FIG. 3 and S202 in FIG. 4) by the call acceptance judging unit will be described with reference to FIGS. 5A to 5C and FIGS. 7A and 7B.

In FIG. 5A, a judgment is made as to whether or not a proportion of total power of the existing dedicated physical channel calls and the newly requested dedicated physical channel call to total transmission power in the radio frequency band subject to the connection request (that is, the radio frequency band in which communication using the shared physical channel is performed) is equal to or above a threshold (S301). When the proportion is equal to or above the threshold (Yes), a radio frequency band other than the radio frequency band in which communication using the shared physical channel is performed (that is, other than the radio frequency band being subject to the connection request) is notified to the radio base station and the mobile station as a radio frequency band to be used (S302). On the contrary, when the proportion is below the threshold (No), the radio frequency band in which communication using the shared physical channel is performed (that is, the radio frequency band being subject to the connection request) is notified to the radio base station and the mobile station as the radio frequency band to be used (S303).

In this way, as shown in FIG. 6A, it is possible to increase the proportion of the power to be allocated for communication using the shared physical channel out of all usable power resources in one radio frequency band by extremely reducing the proportion of the power used as the threshold, for example.

In FIG. 5B, a judgment is made similarly to FIG. 5A as to whether or not a total number of codes used by the existing dedicated physical channel calls and by the newly requested dedicated physical channel call is equal to or above a threshold (S401). When the total number of used codes is equal to or above the threshold (Yes), a radio frequency band other than the radio frequency band in which communication using the shared physical channel is performed (that is, other than the radio frequency band being subject to the connection request) is notified to the radio base station and the mobile station as the radio frequency band to be used (S402). On the contrary, when the total number of used codes is below the threshold (No), the radio frequency band in which communication using the shared physical channel is performed (that is, the radio frequency band being subject to the connection request) is notified to the radio base station and the mobile station as the radio frequency band to be used (S403).

In this way, as shown in FIG. 6B, it is possible to increase the proportion of code resources to be allocated for communication using the shared physical channel out of all usable code resources in one radio frequency band by extremely reducing the number of used codes used as the threshold, for example.

In FIG. 5C, a judgment is made similarly to FIG. 5A as to whether or not aggregate baseband resources at the radio base station used by the existing dedicated physical channel calls and by the newly requested dedicated physical channel call are equal to or above a threshold (S501). When the aggregate baseband resources is equal to or above the threshold (Yes), a radio frequency band other than the radio frequency band in which communication using the shared physical channel is performed (that is, other than the radio frequency band being subject to the connection request) is notified to the radio base station and the mobile station as the radio frequency band to be used (S502). On the contrary, when the aggregate baseband resources is below the threshold (No), the radio frequency band in which communication using the shared physical channel is performed (that is, the radio frequency band being subject to the connection request) is notified to the radio base station and the mobile station as the radio frequency band to be used (S503).

In this way, as shown in FIG. 6C, it is possible to increase the proportion of the aggregate baseband resources to be allocated for communication using the shared physical channel out of all usable baseband resources in one radio frequency band by extremely reducing the baseband resources used as the threshold, for example.

In FIG. 7A, a judgment is made similarly to FIG. 5A as to whether or not a total number of high rate packet calls is equal to or above a threshold (S601). Here, the total number of high rate packet calls is calculated as a sum of the number of high rate packet calls using the existing dedicated physical channels and the number of a high rate packet call using the newly requested dedicated physical channel. In case where the call using the newly requested dedicated physical channel is not a high rate packet call, the number of high rate packet call using the newly requested dedicated physical channel is 0. When the proportion is equal to or above the threshold (Yes), a radio frequency band other than the radio frequency band in which communication using the shared physical channel is performed (that is, other than the radio frequency band being subject to the connection request) is notified to the radio base station and the mobile station as the radio frequency band to be used (S602). On the contrary, when the proportion is below the threshold (No), the radio frequency band in which communication using the shared physical channel is performed (that is, the radio frequency band being subject to the connection request) is notified to the radio base station and the mobile station as the radio frequency band to be used (S603).

In FIG. 7B, a judgment is made similarly to FIG. 5A as to whether or not a total number of high rate videophone calls is equal to or above a threshold (S701). Here, the total number of high rate videophone calls is calculated as a sum of the number of high rate videophone calls using the existing dedicated physical channels and the number of a high rate videophone call using the newly requested dedicated physical channel. In case where the call using the newly requested dedicated physical channel is not a high rate videophone call, the number of high rate videophone call using the newly requested dedicated physical channel is 0. When the proportion is equal to or above the threshold (Yes), a radio frequency band other than the radio frequency band in which communication using the shared physical channel is performed (that is, other than the radio frequency band being subject to the connection request) is notified to the radio base station and the mobile station as the radio frequency band to be used (S702). On the contrary, when the proportion is below the threshold (No), the radio frequency band in which communication using the shared physical channel is performed (that is, the radio frequency band being subject to the connection request) is notified to the radio base station and the mobile station as the radio frequency band to be used (S703).

Here, the high rate packet call is at least one of a packet call having a transmission rate of 384 kbps, a packet call having a transmission rate of 128 kbps, a packet call having a transmission rate of 64 kbps, and a packet call having a transmission rate greater than 384 kbps, for example. The high rate videophone call is at least one of a videophone call having a transmission rate of 64 kbps, a videophone call having a transmission rate of 32 kbps, and a videophone call having a transmission rate greater than 64 kbps, for example.

Examples of the judgments using the thresholds for the number of calls which is a sum of the number of the existing dedicated physical channel calls and the number of the newly requested dedicated physical channel call in FIG. 7A and FIG. 7B are shown in FIG. 8. A pattern 0 shows an example of restricting the number of the packet communication calls whose transmission rate is greater than 384 kbps up to 3 calls on the dedicated physical channels. A pattern 1 shows an example of restricting the number of the packet communication calls whose transmission rate is equal to or greater than 384 kbps up to 3 calls on the dedicated physical channels. A pattern 2 shows an example of restricting the number of the packet communication calls whose transmission rate is equal to or greater than 384 kbps to 0 call on the dedicated physical channels (i.e. the example of prohibiting any packet communication calls equal to or faster than 384 kbps on the dedicated physical channels). A pattern 3 shows an example of restricting the number of the packet communication calls whose transmission rate is equal to or greater than 384 kbps to 0 call on the dedicated physical channels and restricting the number of videophone calls using the dedicated physical channels to 0 call. A pattern 4 shows an example of restricting the number of the packet communication calls whose transmission rate is equal to or greater than 128 kbps to 0 call on the dedicated physical channels and restricting the number of videophone calls using the dedicated physical channels to 0 call.

According to the patterns 0 to 4, it is possible to allocate a large portion of radio resources (including the power resources, the code resources, the baseband resources of the radio base station, and the like) usable in one radio frequency band for communication using the shared physical channel as shown in FIG. 9.

A pattern 5 shows an example of restricting the number of calls on the dedicated physical channels to 0 call. In this case, the radio frequency band using the shared physical channel and the radio frequency band using the dedicated physical channels are separated as shown in FIG. 10.

Although the example of locating the monitor and the call acceptance judging unit in the radio control station has been described above, it is also possible to locate the monitor and the call acceptance judging unit in the radio base station instead. Now, the radio base station including the monitor and the call acceptance judging unit will be described below.

As shown in FIG. 11, the radio base station includes a transmission-reception antenna 31, an amplifier 32, a transmitter-receiver 33, a baseband signal processor 34, an application unit 35, and a transmission line interface 36. Downlink packet data are inputted from the radio control station that precedes the radio base station to the baseband signal processor 34 through the transmission line interface 36. In the baseband signal processor 34, the downlink packet data are subjected to a retransmission control (H-ARQ (Hybrid ARQ)) process, scheduling, transmission format selection, channel encoding, and a spreading process and then are transferred to the transmitter-receiver 33. The transmitter-receiver 33 performs a frequency conversion process to convert a baseband signal outputted from the baseband signal processor 34 into the signal of radio frequency band. Thereafter, the baseband signal subjected to the frequency conversion process is amplified by the amplifier 32 and is transmitted from the transmission-reception antenna 31.

FIG. 12 is a functional block diagram showing functional configurations of the baseband signal processor 34 and the application unit 35.

The baseband signal processor 34 includes a layer-1 processor 341 and a MAC-hs (which stands for Medium Access Control—HSDPA) processor 342.

The application unit 35 includes a monitor 351 configured to monitor a dedicated physical channel call that performs W-CDMA communication, and a call acceptance judging unit 352. The layer-1 processor 341 and the MAC-hs processor 342 in the baseband signal processor 34 are connected to the monitor 351 and to the call acceptance judging unit 352, respectively.

The layer-1 processor 341 performs channel encoding of downlink data and channel decoding of uplink data.

The MAC-hs processor 342 performs H-ARQ (Hybrid ARQ) on a downlink shared channel used in the HSDPA, scheduling of packets waiting for transmission, determination of a transmission format of a downlink shared channel in the AMC (Adaptive Modulation Coding), and the like.

In terms of existing dedicated physical channel calls and a newly requested dedicated physical channel call, the monitor 351 measures at least one of a proportion of power used for the dedicated physical channels to total transmission power, the number of used codes, a baseband use rate at the radio base station, the number of calls for high rate packets, and the number of calls for high rate videophones, and retains the value.

The call acceptance judging unit 352 makes a judgment as to whether or not it is appropriate to accept a dedicated physical channel call in a radio frequency band subject to a connection request by using at least one piece of the information among the proportion of the power used for the dedicated physical channels to the total transmission power, the number of used codes, the baseband use rate at the radio base station, the number of calls for high rate packets, and the number of calls for high rate videophones obtained by the monitor 351.

First, the mobile station newly requests the dedicated physical channel call in the radio frequency band in which communication using the shared physical channel is performed and notifies the radio control station of the request (S801). The radio control station receives the request (S802) and then inquires the radio base station, to which the mobile station requests to connect, as to whether or not it is appropriate to accept the requested call (S803). In terms of the existing dedicated physical channel calls and the newly requested dedicated physical channel call in the radio frequency band subject to the connection request, the radio base station that receives the inquiry judges whether or not it is appropriate to accept the requested call (S804) based on at least one piece of the information among:

the proportion of the power, the number of used codes, the baseband use rate at the radio base station; andthe number of calls for high rate packets, the number of calls for high rate videophones.

The radio control station receives the judgment result from the radio base station (S806).

The radio base station transmits the requested new call in the radio frequency band notified from the radio control station (S808). The mobile station performs communication of the requested new call in the radio frequency band notified from the radio control station (S809).

Next, the operation when the radio control station newly requests a dedicated physical channel call in the radio frequency band in which communication using the shared physical channel is performed will be described with reference to FIG. 14. Here, the monitor and the call acceptance judging unit are located in the radio base station.

First, the radio control station newly requests the dedicated physical channel call in the radio frequency band in which communication using the shared physical channel is performed (S901). The radio control station receives the request and then inquires the radio base station, to which the radio control station requests to connect, as to whether or not it is appropriate to accept the requested call radio control station (S902). In terms of the existing dedicated physical channel calls and the newly requested dedicated physical channel call in the radio frequency band subject to the connection request, the radio base station that receives the inquiry judges whether or not it is appropriate to accept the requested call (S903) based on at least one piece of the information among:

the proportion of the power, the number of used codes, the baseband use rate at the radio base station; andthe number of calls for high rate packets, the number of calls for high rate videophones.

Thereafter, the radio base station notifies the radio control station of the judgment result (S904).

The radio control station receives the judgment result from the radio base station (S905). The radio control station notifies the radio base station and the mobile station of the radio frequency band to connect the call based on the judgment result (S906). The radio base station transmits the requested new call in the radio frequency band notified from the radio control station (S907). The mobile station performs communication of the requested new call in the radio frequency band notified from the radio control station (S908).

The above-described operations (S804 in FIG. 13 and S903 in FIG. 14) by the call acceptance judging unit are the same as the operations described with reference to FIGS. 5A and 5B to FIG. 10. Therefore, the explanation will be omitted herein.
