Abstract
A mobile communication system includes a radio base stations and further includes a determination unit for determining, on the basis of attribute information of the radio base stations, whether to establish a logical interface between the radio base stations. Since it is arranged that the determination unit determines, on the basis of attribute information of the radio base stations, whether to establish a logical interface between the radio base stations, the establishment of unnecessary logical interface (i.e., logical interface for which the necessity of maintenance is low) can be suppressed.
Claims17
A base station of a mobile communication system, the base station comprising:
- a transmitter of the base station which periodically sends a notification of an attribution information to a neighboring base station that has already established a logical link with the base station,
- wherein the base station makes a decision to establish or not to establish the logical link with the neighboring base station by using the attribution information of the neighboring base station, a notification of which is sent from a transmitter of the neighboring base station when a number of established logical links with the neighboring base station has reached a predetermined threshold value.
An operation control method for a radio base station of a mobile communication system, the operation control method comprising:
- periodically sending a notification of attribution information to a neighboring base station that has already established a logical link with the base station,
- determining whether to establish or not to establish the logical link with the neighboring base station is based on the attribution information of the neighboring base station, a notification of which is sent from a transmitter of the neighboring base station when a number of established logical links with the neighboring station has reached a predetermined threshold value.
A server that is connected to base stations of a mobile communication system, the server comprising:
- a receiver that receives from a base station an inquiry regarding establishment of a logical link with neighboring base stations,
- determining by the server to approve or disapprove the request based on the attribution information of the neighboring base stations, a notification of which is sent from the transmitter of the neighboring base stations when a number of established logical links with the neighboring base stations has reached a predetermined threshold value.
