Abstract
A radio communication system includes a plurality of radio base stations and a control station connected to the radio base stations. One of the radio base stations notifies state control information including information regarding state control to the control station before or after execution of state control in the one radio base station. The control station notifies at least one of management information regarding the radio parameter updated in accordance with the state control and the state control information to the radio base stations connected to the control station, with the exclusion of the one radio base station that notified the state control information.
Claims9
A radio base station in a radio communication system, comprising:
- a processor configured to operate a cell;
- an X2 interface connected with another radio base station;
- and
- a transceiver configured to communicate with a radio terminal in the cell;
- wherein the processor is further configured to:
- control a coverage state of the cell operated by the radio base station;
- and
- transmit, via the X2 interface, control information regarding a change of the coverage state to the another radio base station,
- wherein the control information includes:
- an advance notice of the change of the coverage state to be changed by the radio base station;
- ECGI (E-UTRAN Cell Global Identifier) of the cell;
- and
- an index value indicating the coverage state after the change by the radio base station.
A radio communication system comprising
- at least a first radio base station and a second radio base station, wherein
- the first radio base station comprises:
- a processor configured to operate a cell;
- an X2 interface connected with the second radio base station;
- and
- a transceiver configured to communicate with a radio terminal in the cell;
- wherein the processor is configured to:
- control a coverage state of the cell operated by the first radio base station;
- and
- transmit, via the X2 interface, control information regarding a change of the coverage state to the second radio base station, and
- wherein the control information includes:
- an advance notice of the change of the coverage state to be changed by the first radio base station;
- ECGI (E-UTRAN Cell Global Identifier) of the cell;
- and
- an index value indicating the coverage state after the change by the first radio base station.
A method for a radio station, the method comprising:
- operating a cell;
- communicating with a radio terminal in the cell;
- controlling a coverage state of the cell operated by the radio base station;
- and
- transmitting, via an X2 interface connected between the radio base station and another radio base station, control information regarding a change of the coverage to the another radio base station,
- wherein the control information includes:
- an advance notice of the change of the coverage to be changed by the radio base station;
- ECGI (E-UTRAN Cell Global Identifier) of the cell;
- and
- an index value indicating the coverage state after the change by the radio base station.
