Mobile communications system, mobile communications network controller, mobile communications terminal, and method of controlling mobile communications network

A mobile communications system comprising an information communications terminal and a network controller;

• wherein
• the network controller comprising:
• a resource management unit configured to manage ID of available radio communications channels, a sensing area of each radio communications channel associated with each respective ID, and a radio bandwidth assigned to each radio communications channel associated with each respective ID based on information obtained via a radio interface;
• and
• an information provision unit configured to obtain a location of an inquiring information communications terminal in accordance with a request for provision of information transmitted from the inquiring information communications terminal to extract an ID of a suitable radio communications channel which is associated with a particular radio bandwidth included in the request and the sensing area of the suitable radio communications channel with the extracted ID located in a vicinity of the location of the inquiring information communications terminal, and to provide the sensing area of the suitable radio communications channel associated with the extracted ID of the suitable radio communications channel;
• and
• the information communications terminal comprising:
• an information provision request transmitter configured to transmit the request;
• and
• an indicator configured to indicate the sensing area of the suitable radio communications channel provided from the network controller.

A method of controlling a mobile communications network comprising:

• transmitting a request for provision of information from an inquiring information communications terminal;
• obtaining and managing an ID of each available device, a function of each available device, and a location of each available device, in association with one another at a network controller;
• obtaining a location of the inquiring information communications terminal in accordance with the request transmitted from the inquiring information communications terminal at the network controller;
• extracting an ID of a suitable available device which is associated with a function included in the request and a location of the suitable available device with the extracted ID located in a vicinity of the location of the inquiring information communications terminal at the network controller;
• providing the location of the suitable available device with the extracted ID at the network controller;
• and
• indicating the location of the suitable available device with the extracted ID provided from the network controller.
