Abstract
The present invention is to enable setting of an appropriate subordinate cell or subordinate base station according to quality of a wireless communication service applied to a terminal or a type of a terminal. The terminal (3) is connected to a wireless communication network via a base station (1A), and when the base station (1A) sets another base station (1B or 1C) as the subordinate cell or the subordinate base station, the base station (1A) selects the subordinate cell or the subordinate base station from among either (a) candidates according to QoS (Quality of Service) applied to the terminal or (b) candidates according to the type of the terminal.
Claims15
A wireless communication system in a cellular type wireless communication network, the wireless communication system comprising:
- a plurality of base stations performing the wireless communication with a terminal, wherein
- the base station includes a first base station set as a node of the wireless communication network, and
- for setting another base station as a subordinate cell or a subordinate base station, the first base station selects the subordinate cell or the subordinate base station from among either
- (a) candidates according to QoS (Quality of Service) applied to the terminal or
- (b) candidates according to a type of the terminal.
A base station in a cellular type wireless communication network, wherein
- the base station performs wireless communication with a terminal, and is set as a node of the wireless communication network, and wherein
- for setting another base station as a subordinate cell or a subordinate base station in the wireless communication network, the base station selects the subordinate cell or the subordinate base station from among either
- (a) candidates according to QoS applied to the terminal or
- (b) candidates according to a type of the terminal.
A method for controlling a wireless communication system, the wireless communication system including a plurality of base stations and forming a cellular type wireless communication network,
- the method for controlling the wireless communication system comprising:
- performing, by a plurality of the base stations, wireless communication with a terminal,
- setting a first base station as a node of the wireless communication network, and
- for setting another base station as a subordinate cell or a subordinate base station, selecting the subordinate cell or the subordinate base station from among either
- (a) candidates according to QoS applied to the terminal or
- (b) candidates according to a type of the terminal.
