Abstract
Frequency usage efficiency of the entire system is improved by assigning subslots to all communication calls from terminals with low frequency usage efficiency. A base station for communicating with a plurality of terminals by a spatial multiple slot assignment method includes a reception unit for receiving an access request transmitted from the terminal and a control unit (A), based on the access request, for assigning a slot to the terminal by a subslot scheme or assigning a slot to the terminal by a full slot scheme.
Claims16
A spatial multiplexing slot assignment method of a base station for communicating with a plurality of terminals, comprising the steps of:
- receiving an access request transmitted from a terminal;
- determining at least one of a state of the terminal and wireless quality of the access request based on the access request;
- and
- controlling assignment to assign a slot to the terminal by a subslot scheme or a full slot scheme in accordance with a result of determination at the step of determining.
A base station for communicating with a plurality of terminals by a spatial multiplexing slot assignment scheme comprising:
- a reception unit for receiving an access request transmitted from a terminal;
- and
- a control unit for assigning a slot to the terminal by a subslot scheme or a full slot scheme in response to the access request.
