Abstract
In a mobile communication system, a mobile terminal can designate a communication quality in requesting communication. A radio base station is connected to the mobile terminal through a radio channel. A radio network controller is connected to the radio base station to control the communication quality between the mobile terminal and the radio base station. The radio network controller includes a communication request reception determination unit. Upon receiving a communication request which designates the communication quality from the mobile terminal, the communication request reception determination unit determines whether the received communication request is to be received, on the basis of a communication quality provided to communication which requests without communication quality.
Claims5
A mobile communication system comprising:
- a mobile terminal capable of designating a communication quality in requesting communication;
- a radio base station connected to said mobile terminal through a radio channel;
- and
- a radio network controller connected to said radio base station to control the communication quality between said mobile terminal and said radio base station,
- wherein said radio network controller comprises a communication request reception determination unit for, upon receiving a communication request which designates the communication quality from said mobile terminal, determining whether the received communication request is to be received, on the basis of a communication quality provided to communication which requests without communication quality,
- wherein:
- said communication quality is based on an error rate in said radio channel between said mobile terminal and said radio base station,
- said radio network controller further comprises a communication quality measurement unit for measuring a communication quality Q provided to communication which requests without communication quality, and
- said communication request reception determination unit comprises:
- comparison means for, upon receiving the communication request which designates the communication quality, comparing the measured communication quality Q output from said communication quality measurement unit with a predetermined threshold value,
- bandwidth setting means for re-setting an allowable communication bandwidth on the basis of a comparison result from said comparison means, and
- determination means for determining whether the communication request is to be received, on the basis of a bandwidth required by the received communication request and the allowable communication bandwidth re-set by said bandwidth setting means,
- wherein:
- when the measured communication quality Q is higher than a first threshold value QH, said bandwidth setting means increases the allowable communication bandwidth by a first predetermined value to re-set a new allowable communication bandwidth, and when the measured communication quality Q is lower than a second threshold value QL (QL<QH), said bandwidth setting means decreases the allowable communication bandwidth by a second predetermined value to re-set a new allowable communication bandwidth, and
- when the bandwidth required by the received communication request falls within the re-set allowable communication bandwidth, said determination means permits to receive the communication request, and when the bandwidth required by the received communication request falls outside the re-set allowable communication bandwidth, said determination means denies to receive the communication request.
