Generally, a mobile communication system is provided with a mobile terminal for sending out a link channel establishment request for a communication connection, and a plurality of base stations for making a communication connection with this mobile terminal. A conventional base station is provided with a radio channel assignment unit. When the base station receives the link channel establishment request from the mobile terminal, the base station assigns a radio channel arbitrarily and makes the communication connection with the mobile terminal.

In the conventional mobile communication system, when the link channel establishment request is sent out to each base station which adjoins mutually from each mobile terminal belonging to each base station, there is a case where each adjoining base station assigns the same radio channel for a communication with each mobile terminal.

In this case, there is a possibility that a radio wave of one base station may interfere a mobile terminal which communicates with another base station. For this reason, this interference was dissolved by the change of a radio channel of one base station (see Japanese patent application publication No. 2000-102062, for example).

If interference occurs, it is necessary to change the radio channel each time. For this reason, such phenomena occur at a plurality of places caused deterioration of a utilization ratio of the radio channels, and degradation of communication quality.

As mentioned above, in the conventional mobile communication system, the same radio channel may be used by adjoining base stations. For interference control, a change of the radio channel under communication was obliged, and there was a problem that deterioration of a utilization ratio of the radio channels and degradation of communication quality arose.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, an embodiment of this invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram schematically illustrating the configuration of a mobile communication system according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 shows the mobile communication system whose communication method is PHS (Personal Handyphone System).

Base station controllers 10-1 to 10-4 are mutually connected through IP (Internet Protocol) network 12. Base station controller 10-1 to 10-4 and IP network 12 form a mobile communication network which exchanges control information, sounds and data mutually. Base station controller 10-1 accommodates mobile terminals PS1-PS3, such as a PHS terminal, and base stations CS1-CS3.

In this embodiment, base station controller 10-1 and base stations CS1-CS3 are connected by IP line. Base station controller 10-1 and base stations CS1-CS3 may be connected by a telephone line or an optical line. In this embodiment, a signal transmitted to base station controller 10-1 through the mobile communication network and a signal transmitted and received between base station controller 10-1 and base stations CS1-CS3 take a form of an IP packet.

In FIG. 1, mobile terminal PS1 sends out a link channel establishment request to base station CS1 at the time of communication connection establishment. When base station CS1 receives the link channel establishment request, base station CS1 outputs a radio channel assignment request to base station controller 10-1. When base station controller 10-1 receives the radio channel assignment request, base station controller 10-1 assigns base station CS1 an arbitrary radio channel which are not used in base station CS1 and an adjacent base station adjacent to base station CS1, and outputs radio channel assignment answer to base station CS1 of demand-origin. A radio channel assignment answer includes radio channel assignment information about the assigned radio channel. Base station CS1 which received the radio channel assignment answer returns a link channel assignment answer to mobile terminal PS1 of a requiring origin.

Here, a radio channel is used in a radio communication between the mobile terminal and the base station. In this embodiment, the radio channel is determined by a frequency and a time slot in one frame.

At the time of radio communication disconnection, mobile terminal PS1 issues a notice of disconnection to base station CS1. Base station CS1 which received the notice of disconnection outputs a radio channel disconnection request to base station controller 10-1. When base station controller 10-1 receives the radio channel disconnection request, base station controller 10-1 changes the radio channel assigned to base station CS1 to the unused, and returns a radio channel disconnection response to base station CS1. When base station CS1 receives the radio channel disconnection response, base station CS1 outputs a release notice to mobile terminal PS1.

Next, a base station will be explained. FIG. 2 is a block diagram schematically illustrating a configuration of base station CS1 according to the one embodiment of the present invention. Mobile terminal PS1 sends out the link channel establishment request by radio frames, such as the FEC (Forward Error Correction) frame, at a time of requesting the a radio communication connection. In FIG. 2, base station CS1 receives this link channel establishment request by radio unit 21 and changes the link channel establishment request into a packet by adapter 22. Then, base station CS1 encapsulates the link channel establishment request into an IP packet by communication connection I/F unit 23 and transmits the link channel establishment request to base station controller 10-1.

When base station CS1 receives a radio channel assignment answer of IP packet form from base station controller 10-1, base station CS1 decapsulates the radio channel assignment answer by communication I/F unit 23 and changes the radio channel assignment answer into the radio frame by adapter 22. Then, base station CS1 outputs the radio channel assignment answer to mobile terminal PS1 from radio unit 21 as the link channel assignment answer.

At this time, radio channel assignment information included in the radio channel assignment answer is inputted also into channel informing unit 24 from communication I/F unit 23. Channel informing unit 24 discriminates the frequency and the time slot in one frame assigned to the radio communication of mobile terminal PS1 from radio channel assignment information. Channel informing unit 24 notifies the assigned time slot to adapter 22 and notifies the assigned frequency to radio unit 21.

In base station CS1, when communication I/F unit 23 receives a sound and data from base station controller 10-1 while base station CS1 and mobile terminal PS1 communicate, communication I/F unit 23 decapsulates the sound and the data to a RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) packet and sends the RTP packet to adapter 22. When adapter 22 receives the RTP packet, adapter 22 puts this packet on the radio frame, inserts the radio frame in the assigned time slot notified from channel informing unit 24, and outputs the radio frame to radio unit 21. Radio unit 21 sends out the radio frame from adapter 22 to mobile terminal PS1 with the frequency notified from channel informing unit 24.

Base station CS1 receives the sound and the data transmitted from mobile terminal PS1 on the assigned frequency and the assigned time slot as the communication channel with radio unit 21, and base station CS1 takes the RTP packet of the sound and the data out from the radio frame with adapter 22. Then, base station CS1 encapsulates the RTP packet to an IP packet with communication I/F unit 23 and transmits the IP packet to base station controller 10-1.

Furthermore, base station CS1 is provided with base station management unit 25. This base station management unit 25 supervises abnormalities in components of base station CS1. When base station management unit 25 detects that an abnormality occurred, base station management unit 25 notifies the occurrence of the abnormality to base station controller 10-1. When base station management unit 25 detects the occurrence of the abnormality, base station CS1 does not receive the link channel establishment request from the mobile terminal.

Next, the base station controller will be explained. FIG. 3 is a block diagram schematically illustrating a configuration of base station controller 10-1 according to the one embodiment of the present invention. And FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of base station controller 10-1.

In FIG. 3, base station controller 10-1 is connected with base station CS1 via base station I/F unit 31. When base station controller 10-1 receives the radio channel assignment request from base station CS1 with base station I/F unit 31, base station controller 10-1 outputs the radio channel assignment request to plural lines selectively with packet switch unit 32. Specifically, packet switch unit 32 discriminates an address of the packet from contents of a header of the IP packet inputted and switches an output destination of the packet to main control unit 33 or network I/F unit 34 alternatively based on the address. In FIG. 4, base station controller 10-1 is provided with radio channel assignment control unit 41, adjacent base station information management unit 42, base station I/F control unit 43, network I/F control unit 44 and call control unit 45 as the functional configuration.

Main control unit 33 is provided with radio channel assignment control unit 41 shown in FIG. 4. When main control unit 33 receives the radio channel assignment request outputted from packet switch unit 32, main control unit 33 determines the radio channel which should be assigned to base station CS1 with reference to adjacent base station information currently recorded on memory 35 mentioned later.

Main control unit 33 and memory 34 are provided with the adjacent base station information management unit 42 shown in FIG. 4, and manages adjacent base station information. In this embodiment, the adjacent base station information contains a positional relationship of base stations CS1-CS3 and the status of use of radio channels currently assigned to base stations CS1-CS3. The positional relationship of base stations CS1-CS3 is beforehand recorded on memory 35 as an information table based on a handover history of mobile terminals PS1-PS3. The status of use of the radio channels is also recorded on memory 35 as the information table. These information tables are updated whenever base station controller 10-1 assigns the radio channel to base stations CS1-CS3 and whenever mobile terminal PS1 disconnects the radio channel in a radio communication state.

Main control unit 33 discriminates the base station adjacent to base station CS1 from the positional relationship of base stations CS1-CS3 recorded on memory 35.

Main control unit 33 searches an unused radio channel from the status of use of the radio channels in base station CS1 and an adjacent base station of base station CS1, and assigns the arbitrary unused radio channel selectively to base station CS1.

Main control unit 33 is provided with base station I/F control unit 43 and network I/F control unit 44 shown in FIG. 4. Base station I/F control unit 43 makes base station I/F unit 31 perform transmission and reception of a signal to and from base stations CS1-CS3. And network I/F control unit 44 makes network I/F unit 34 perform transmission and reception of a signal via the mobile communication network. While base station controller 10-1 communicates with the mobile communication network, main control unit 33 transmits and receives the sound and the data with network I/F unit 34, and transmits and receives a signal to and from base station CS1 with base station I/F unit 31.

Main control unit 33 is provided with call control unit 45 shown in FIG. 4.

This call control unit 45 establishes a communication line between mobile terminal PS1 and base station CS1. Then, call control unit 45 performs a call control to another mobile terminal based on a specification of a communication party by mobile terminal PS1.

When main control unit 33 receives a notice of occurrence of abnormality from base station CS1, main control unit 33 shall not assign the radio channel to base station CS1 concerned.

Next, radio channel assignment/release of the mobile communication system will be explained. FIG. 5 is a sequence diagram showing a procedure of radio channel assignment/release of the mobile communication system according to the one embodiment of the present invention.

First, the radio channel assignment will be explained. Mobile terminal PS1 issues the link channel establishment request to base station CS1. Base station CS1 which received this issues the radio channel assignment request to base station controller 10-1. Base station controller 10-1 which received the radio channel assignment request searches availability of the radio channel in base station CS1 and an adjacent base station of base station CS1, with reference to the adjacent base station information created beforehand in memory 35. And base station controller 10-1 assigns an unused radio channel to base station CS1, and base station controller 10-1 returns the radio channel assignment answer including the information about the assigned radio channel to base station CS1. At this time, base station controller 10-1 registers “under use” about the assigned radio channel to the information table of memory 35. Base station CS1 which received the radio channel assignment answer sends out the link channel assignment answer to mobile terminal PS1.

After this, a communication connection between the mobile terminals becomes possible by passing through a conventional sequence.

Next, the radio channel release will be explained. First, a case where mobile terminal PS1 disconnects a telephone call will be explained. Release of the radio channel begins from issue of a notice of disconnection of mobile terminal PS1. When base station CS1 receives the notice of disconnection, base station CS1 issues a radio channel disconnection request to base station controller 10-1. When base station controller 10-1 receives the radio channel disconnection request, base station controller 10-1 updates the information table of memory 35 about the radio channel of which the radio channel disconnection request is requested “unused”, and returns a radio channel disconnection answer to base station CS1. When base station CS1 receives the radio channel disconnection answer, base station CS1 issues a notice of release to mobile terminal PS1. In response to this, mobile terminal PS1 returns a release completion notification to base station CS1, and also base station CS1 transmits the completion of release to base station controller 10-1.

A case where a call party disconnects a telephone call will be explained.

Base station controller 10-1 sends out a radio channel disconnect indication to base station CS1, and, in response to this, base station CS1 issues the radio channel disconnect indication to mobile terminal PS1. When mobile terminal PS1 receives the radio channel disconnect indication, mobile terminal PS1 issues a notice of radio channel disconnection completion.The notice of radio channel disconnection completion is transmitted to the base station controller 10-1 via base station CS1, and a release sequence is completed.

Next, a case where the link channel establishment requests are sent out from two sets of mobile terminals will be explained. FIG. 6 is a block diagram schematically illustrating a configuration in the case link channel establishment requests are sent out from two sets of mobile terminals in the mobile communication system according to the one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 7 is a sequence diagram showing the radio channel assignment procedure in FIG. 6.

In FIG. 6, base stations CS1 and CS2 adjoin mutually, each area 2, 4 where the mobile terminal can communicate with the base station overlaps in some portions, and interference area 6 is formed. Mobile terminal PS1 sends out the link channel establishment request to base station CS1, and mobile terminal PS2 in interference area 6 sends out the link channel establishment request to base station CS2.

Mobile terminal PS2 follows the same sequence as the sequence shown in FIG. 5 and becomes possible to communicate with base station CS2 using radio channel A.

Here, when mobile terminal PS1 sends out the link channel establishment request, base station CS1 which received the link channel establishment request sends out the radio channel assignment request to base station controller 10-1. Base station controller 10-1 searches the radio channel. Since radio channel A is already assigned to adjoining base station CS2, base station controller 10-1 determines to assign unused radio channel B to base station CS1 and sends out the radio channel assignment answer including the information about an assigned radio channel to base station CS1. Base station CS1 which received the radio channel assignment answer returns the link channel assignment answer to mobile terminal PS1.

A radio channel assignment procedure will be explained with reference to FIG. 7. First, mobile terminal PS2 issues the link channel establishment request to base station CS2. Base station CS2 which received the link channel establishment request issues the radio channel assignment request to base station controller 10-1. Base station controller 10-1 which received the radio channel assignment request searches availability of the radio channel in base station CS2 and its adjacent base station with reference to the adjacent base station information created beforehand in memory 35. And base station controller 10-1 assigns unused radio channel A to base station CS2 and returns the radio channel assignment answer to base station CS2. At this time, base station controller 10-1 registers “under use” about assigned radio channel A on the information table of memory 35. Base station CS2 which received the radio channel assignment answer sends out the link channel assignment answer to mobile terminal PS2. After this, the communication connection between mobile terminal PS2 and another mobile terminal becomes possible by passing through the conventional sequence.

Furthermore, mobile terminal PS1 issues the link channel establishment request to base station CS1 while mobile terminal PS2 communicates with base station CS2 using radio channel A. Base station CS1 which received the link channel establishment request issues the radio channel assignment request to base station controller 10-1. Base station controller 10-1 which received the radio channel assignment request searches availability of the radio channel in base station CS1 and its adjacent base station with reference to the adjacent base station information created beforehand in memory 35.

And base station controller 10-1 assigns unused radio channel B to base station CS1, and returns the radio channel assignment answer to base station CS1. At this time, since radio channel A is “under use” in adjacent base station CS2, base station controller 10-1 does not choose radio channel A. Furthermore base station controller 10-1 registers “under use” about assigned radio channel B on the information table of memory 35. Base station CS1 which received the radio channel assignment answer sends out the link channel assignment answer to mobile terminal PS1. After this, the communication connection between mobile terminal PS1 and another mobile terminal becomes possible by passing through the conventional sequence.

As mentioned above, in the above-mentioned one embodiment, when base station CS1 receives the link channel establishment request from the mobile terminal, base station CS1 sends out the radio channel assignment request to base station controller 10-1.

Base station controller 10-1 which received the radio channel assignment request assigns the unused radio channel in base station CS1 and the adjacent base station of base station CS1 as the radio channel of base station CS1, and sends out the radio channel assignment answer to base station CS1. Thereby, since assigning the radio channel independently for every base station does not occur, using the same radio channel in adjacent base stations is avoided. For this reason, according to the embodiment, since the radio channel can be assigned so that the interference between adjacent base stations may not occur, it becomes possible to prevent the occurrence of the change of the radio channel.

As mentioned above, according to the present invention, since use of the same radio channel in adjacent base stations is avoided, the mobile communication system, the base station controller, the base station and the communication connection method which can prevent deterioration of the utilization ratio of the radio channel and degradation of the communication quality accompanying the change of the radio channel, can be provided.

Although this embodiment explains the case where the mobile terminal is a PHS terminal, the present invention is feasible similarly even if the mobile terminal is a cellular phone.

In this embodiment, although the case where the IP packet was used for transmission and reception of the signal between the base station and the base station controller was explained, the present invention is not necessarily restricted to the protocol of this IP packet.

Other embodiments or modifications of the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art from consideration of the specification and practice of the invention disclosed herein. It is intended that the specification and example embodiments be considered as exemplary only, with a true scope and spirit of the invention being indicated by the following.
