Radio communication method, centralized control station, and base station

A centralized control station in a radio communication system, the radio communication system including:

• a plurality of base stations mounted with a plurality of radio communication units for which different communication schemes are settable;
• a terminal station configured to perform radio communication with each of the plurality of radio communication units of each of the plurality of base stations in a certain communication scheme;
• and
• the centralized control station configured to control the plurality of base stations,
• wherein the centralized control station includes:
• a collection mechanism configured to collect, via the base station, communication scheme information of communication schemes selectable by the terminal station;
• a calculation mechanism configured to calculate, based on the communication scheme information of the terminal station collected from the base station, a setting policy of a communication scheme for the radio communication unit of the base station and a switching policy for the terminal station and the radio communication unit;
• and
• a notification mechanism configured to notify the base station of the calculated setting policy and switching policy.

A base station in a radio communication system, the radio communication system including:

• a plurality of the base stations;
• a terminal station configured to perform radio communication in a certain communication scheme;
• and
• a centralized control station configured to control the plurality of base stations,
• wherein the base station comprises:
• a plurality of radio communication units for which different communication schemes are settable;
• a collection and notification mechanism configured to collect, from the terminal station to be connected, communication scheme information of communication schemes selectable by the terminal station, and notify the centralized control station of the information;
• and
• a setting and selection mechanism configured to set a setting policy and a switching policy, notified from the centralized control station, for the radio communication unit, and select a radio communication unit to be connected by the terminal station in accordance with the communication scheme information, the setting policy, and the switching policy.
