Abstract
A communication mode which should be set to a mobile communication terminal having a function of switching between an autonomous mode and a scheduling mode is determined based on an amount of interference in each of the communication modes in the cell of a base station, and/or communication characteristics of each of the communication modes, and a signal indicating an amount of communication data notified from the mobile communication terminal. The base station then notifies the determined communication mode to the mobile communication terminal.
Claims1
A mobile communication system including a terminal for mobile communications, a base station which radiocommunicates with this terminal, and an RNC (Radio Network Controller) which controls this base station, wherein:
- said terminal comprises,
- a terminal buffer for storing uplink data to be transmitted to said base station,
- a buffer status information unit for transmitting terminal buffer state information indicating a state of said terminal buffer to said base station, and
- a data transmitting unit for transmitting the data said base station according to setting of uplink radio resources performed by said base station;
- said base station comprise,
- an interference amount measuring unit for measuring an amount of interference about received signals,
- an interference amount notifying unit of notifying said amount of interference measured by said interference amount measuring unit to said RNC, and
- an uplink radio resource setting unit for receiving said terminal buffer state information and performing scheduling, and for performing the setting of the uplink radio resources to said terminal;
- and
- said RNC comprises a maximum interference amount setting unit for setting, as a result of said scheduling, a maximum amount of interference which must not be exceeded to said base station.
