Communication method
View Patent ↗A communication mode which should be set to a mobile communication terminal having a function of switching between an autonomous mode and a scheduling mode is determined based on an amount of interference in each of the communication modes in the cell of a base station, and/or communication characteristics of each of the communication modes, and a signal indicating an amount of communication data notified from the mobile communication terminal. The base station then notifies the determined communication mode to the mobile communication terminal.
1. A communication method comprising:
an interference amount measuring step of measuring an amount of interference about received signals at a base station;
an interference amount notifying step of notifying said amount of interference measured in said measuring step from said base station to an RNC (Radio Network Controller);
a maximum interference amount indicating step of indicating, from said RNC to which said amount of interference is notified to said base station, a maximum amount of interference which must not be exceeded as a result of scheduling;
a buffer state information transmitting step of transmitting terminal buffer state information indicating a state of a terminal buffer, the terminal buffer storing uplink data to be transmitted from a terminal to said base station, from said terminal to said base station;
an uplink radio resource indicating step of performing said scheduling at said base station which receives said terminal buffer state information, and performing indicating of uplink radio resources to said terminal; and
a data transmitting step of transmitting the data from said terminal to said base station according to said indication of the uplink radio resources performed by said base station.
