As shown in FIG. 12, in step 1001, the radio network controller 50 transmits control signals such as a service notification signal and a discrimination signal to the three base stations 10, 20, and 40.
03157407.6 First, in step 1002, each base station 10, 20, and 40 receives the control signal transmitted from the radio network controller 50. The control signals transmitted by each base station 10, 20 and 40 reach the mobile stations 11, 12, 21, 41, 42 and 43 connected to the multiple access communication group A under the control of the base stations 10, 20 and 40.
In step 1003, each mobile station 11, 12, 21, 41, 42 and 43 generates a response signal including the group ID. Therefore, it is possible to identify each mobile station 11, 12, 21, 41, 42, 43 connected to the multiple access communication group A with the group ID. Each mobile station 11, 12, 21, 41, 42 and 43 transmits the generated response signal to the base stations 10, 20 and 40, respectively.
In step C1, each base station 10, 20 and 40 counts the number of response signals transmitted from each mobile station 11, 12, 21, 41, 42 and 43 connected to the multiple access communication group A.
In step C2, each base station 10, 20 and 40 judges whether the number of response signals transmitted from the mobile stations 11, 12, 21, 41, 42 and 43 connected to the multiple access communication group A is more than a predetermined number (threshold value) .
When the counted number of response signals is less than or equal to the predetermined number, each base station 10, 20, and 40 transmits at least one received response signal to the radio network controller 50, as in step 1004. On the other hand, when the counted response signal When the number is more than the predetermined number, each base station 10, 20, and 40 transmits at least one response signal selected from the at least one response signal to the radio network controller 50, as in step 1004<sub>ο</sub> In this embodiment, the base station 10 selects at least one response signal transmitted from the mobile station 11 for transmission to the radio network controller 50, and the base station 20 selects at least one response signal transmitted by the mobile station 21 for transmission To the radio network controller 50, the base station 40 selects at least one response signal transmitted from the mobile station 41 for transmission to the radio network controller 50. In step 1005, the radio network controller 50 according to each mobile station 11, At least one response signal transmitted in 21 and 41 transmits service data to the base stations 10, 20, and 40. In other words, the radio network controller 50 performs transmission control according to at least one response signal transmitted from the mobile stations 11, 21, 41.
03157407.6 First, in step 1006, each base station 10, 20 and 40 transmits the received service data to each mobile station 11, 12, 21, 41, 42 and 43.
The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and it can be applied to the wireless communication system according to the fifth embodiment, which further includes a response signal counter 10h, a comparator 10i, and a comparison result as shown in FIG. The adder 10j.
The wireless communication system according to the fifth embodiment is the same as the wireless communication system according to the fourth embodiment except for the structure of a comparison result adder 10j and the wireless network controller 50. Therefore, the two wireless communication systems will be described below. The main difference.
The comparison result adder 10j is configured to instruct the response signal generator 10d to notify the information and the response signal to the wireless network controller 50, wherein the information is displayed as the comparison result obtained by the comparator 10i, that is, displayed at a predetermined The result of judging whether the number of response signals transmitted by the mobile stations 11, 12, 21, 41, 42 and 43 connected to the multiple access communication group A is more than a predetermined number (a threshold).
For example, the response signal generator 10d generates at least one response signal according to the instruction of the comparison result adder lQj, which includes information indicating that the number of response signals is more than a predetermined number or that the number of response signals is not more than a predetermined number. Number of information.
The response signal generator 10d can generate at least one response signal according to the instruction of the comparison result adder 10j, and the response signal includes the counted number of response signals.
As shown in FIG. 14, the wireless network controller 50 is configured to include a receiver 50a, a response signal extractor 50b, a wireless controller 50c, and a transmitter 50d.<sub>o</sub> The receiver 50a is configured to receive the response signal transmitted from each base station 10-40.
A response signal extractor 50b, which is configured to extract display information from the response signal received by the receiver 50a, wherein the extracted information is displayed as the counted response signal number is more than a predetermined number or the counted response signal number.
The wireless controller 50c is configured to perform wireless control in multiple access communication according to the extracted information or the number of extracted response signals.
For example, the wireless controller 50c may be configured to be transmitted when the response signals received from the mobile stations connected in the multiple access communication group A are combined into one signal, that is, when the display
03157407.6 When the number of first response signals exceeds a predetermined number of information is extracted from the received response signal, transmission control is performed on multiple mobile stations in the connection multiple access communication group A by using an ordinary circuit.
On the other hand, the wireless controller 50c may be configured to when the response signals received from the mobile stations connected in the multiple access communication group A are respectively transmitted, that is, when displaying information that the number of response signals is more than a predetermined number When it is not extracted from the received response signal, transmission control is performed on a plurality of mobile stations connected to the multiple access communication group A by using respective circuits.
The present invention can provide a base station for a wireless communication system, a mobile station and a wireless network controller, which can reduce the load of the wireless network controller in multiple access communication.
For those skilled in the art, other advantages and modifications will be obvious. Therefore, the broader scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific details and typical embodiments shown and described herein. Accordingly, various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the overall inventive concept as determined by the appended claims.
