Abstract
A channel assigning method and a communication apparatus for executing appropriate channel assignment in a mobile communication system when both a channel for a service area based on a FDD method and a channel for a service area based on a TDD method can be assigned are provided. For example, if both a channel for a service area based on a CDMA-FDD method and channels for service areas based on a CDMA-TDD method can be assigned to a request for channel assignment, and a handover frequency of the mobile station related to the request is high, the channel for the service area based on the CDMA-FDD method is assigned.
