Abstract

In a mobile communication system, a mobile switching center 27 changes a transmission rate of communication data transmitted from a mobile station 16 and so on to a database 11 or a transmission rate of communication data transmitted from the database 11 to the mobile station 16 and so on, on a basis of a request from the mobile station 16 and so on or the database 11 , individually and independently.

Claims (27)

1. A mobile radio communication system, comprising:

a mobile communication controller including

a communication speed notifying section which notifies a base station and a mobile station of set information including a communication speed between the base station and the mobile station, and

a timing notifying section which notifies the base station and the mobile station of a timing for switching to the set state including said notified communication speed;

a base station, including

a communication speed notified section which is notified from the communication controller of set information including a communication speed for communication with the mobile station,

a timing notified section which is notified from the communication controller of a timing for switching to a set state including said notified communication speed with the mobile station, and

a set-state switching section which switches to the set state including said notified communication speed at said notified timing; and

a mobile station including

a communication speed notified section which is notified from the communication controller of set information including a communication speed for communication with the base station,

a timing notified section which is notified from the communication controller of a timing for switching to a set state including said notified communication speed with the base station, and

a set-state switching section which switches to the set state including said notified communication speed at said notified timing.

2. A mobile communication controller for controlling communication between a base station provided for radio communication and a mobile station located within an area covered by the base station, said mobile communication controller comprising:

a communication speed notifying section which notifies the base station and the mobile station of set information including a communication speed between the base station and the mobile station, and

a timing notifying section which notifies the base station and the mobile station of a timing for switching to the set state including said notified communication speed.

3. A base station for carrying out radio communication with a mobile station located in an area covered by the base station in accordance with information from a communication controller, said base station comprising:

a communication speed notified section which is notified from the communication controller of set information including a communication speed for communication with the mobile station,

a timing notified section which is notified from the communication controller of a timing for switching to the a set state including said notified communication speed with the mobile station, and

a set-state switching section which switches to the set state including said notified communication speed at said notified timing.

4. A mobile station for carrying out radio communication with a base station serving an area in which the mobile station is located, in accordance with information from a communication controller, said mobile station comprising:

a communication speed notified section which is notified from the communication controller of set information including a communication speed for communication with the base station,

a timing notified section which is notified from the communication controller of a timing for switching to a set state including said notified communication speed with the base station, and

a set-state switching section which switches to the set state including said notified communication speed at said notified timing.

5. A method of controlling communication between a base station provided for radio communication and a mobile station located within an area covered by the base station, comprising the steps of:

notifying the base station and the mobile station of set information including a communication speed between the base station and the mobile station, and

notifying the base station and the mobile station of a timing for switching to the set state including said notified communication speed, whereby

the base station and the mobile station each switch to the set state including said notified communication speed at said notified timing.
