Abstract

Priority order storage section 113 stores the order of priority for an uplink and the reverse order of priority for a downlink. Channel allocation section 114 performs channel allocation for a downlink in the order of priority of the downlink stored in priority order storage section 113 , based on the CIR of the downlink. In addition, channel allocation section 114 performs channel allocation for an uplink in the order of priority of the uplink stored in priority order storage section 113 , based on the CIR of the uplink. It is thereby possible to perform reuse partitioning in asymmetrical data communications.

Claims (12)

1. A base station apparatus that allocates channels to time slots by an autonomous reuse partitioning dynamic channel allocation method, the apparatus comprising:

a channel allocator that performs: (1) a channel search for an uplink according to a predetermined order of priority, (2) a channel search for a downlink according to an order of priority reverse to said predetermined order of priority for the uplink, and (3) a channel allocation for the uplink and downlink in accordance with results of the uplink and downlink channel searches;

a receiver that receives signals through the allocated uplink channel; and

a transmitter that transmits signals through the allocated downlink channel, wherein:

the base station apparatus is used in a TDD mobile communication system, and

the channel allocator performs the channel search for the uplink sequentially from a slot that is placed after a slot assigned to a report channel and close in time.

2. A channel allocation method for an autonomous reuse partitioning dynamic channel allocation system, the method comprising:

performing a channel search for an uplink according to a predetermined order of priority;

performing a channel search for a downlink according to an order of priority reverse to said predetermined order of priority for the uplink; and

allocating a channel for the uplink and downlink in accordance with results of the uplink and downlink channel searches, wherein:

the method is used in a TDD mobile communication system, and

the channel search for the uplink is performed sequentially from a slot that is placed after a slot assigned to a report channel and close in time.
