Abstract

A radio base station includes a radio equipment to which a power is supplied from a power source which supplies the power from a battery and a power source unit, and a radio control device which controls the radio equipment, and wherein the radio base transceiver station performs control for changing an operating band of the radio equipment according to switching of a power supply source to and from the power source unit and the battery in the radio equipment.

Claims (36)

1. A radio base station comprising:

a radio equipment which communicates with radio terminals using radio signals having a radio frequency bandwidth, and

a radio control device which controls to change the radio frequency bandwidth of the radio equipment according to switching of a power source to the radio equipment between a power source unit and a battery.

2. The radio base station according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an external source unit that supplies power to the power source unit.

3. The radio base station according to claim 1 , wherein:

the radio equipment transmits a report of the switching of the power source in the radio equipment to the radio control device; and

the radio control device performs the control for changing the operating band of the radio equipment according to the report.

4. The radio base station according to claim 1 , wherein:

the radio equipment reports a battery remaining amount when the power is supplied from the battery; and

the radio control device performs the control for changing the radio frequency bandwidth of the radio equipment according to the battery remaining amount reported from the radio equipment.

5. The radio base station according to claim 1 , wherein:

the radio equipment transmits the report of the switching of the power source in the radio equipment to the radio control device; and

the radio control device performs the control for changing the radio frequency bandwidth to be allocated to the radio equipment according to the report.

6. The radio base station according to claim 5 , wherein the radio control device changes the radio frequency bandwidth allocated to the radio equipment by changing a resource block of frequencies.

7. The radio base station according to claim 5 , wherein the radio control device changes the radio frequency bandwidth allocated to the radio equipment by changing a maximum number of resource blocks of frequencies.

8. The radio base station according to claim 7 , wherein:

the radio equipment reports the battery remaining amount when the power is supplied from the battery,

and wherein the radio control device changes the radio frequency bandwidth allocated to the radio equipment according to the battery remaining amount reported from the radio equipment.

9. The radio base station according to claim 5 , wherein:

the radio equipment reports the battery remaining amount when the power is supplied from the battery; and

the radio control device changes the radio frequency bandwidth allocated to the radio equipment according to the battery remaining amount reported from the radio equipment.

10. A radio equipment comprising:

an amplification unit which transmits and receives a radio signal by using a plurality of radio frequency bands;

a power source unit which serves as a power supply source to the radio equipment;

a battery which also serves as the power supply source to the radio equipment;

a power source monitor unit which monitors the power source unit and switches the power supply source to the battery according to a state of a power supply from the power source unit, and

a control unit which transmits, to a radio control unit, a report indicating that the power supply source is switched from the power source unit to the battery and which changes a radio frequency band of the amplification unit according to an instruction from the radio control device.

11. The radio equipment according to claim 10 , wherein the state of the power supply from the power source unit includes a state of a power supplied from an external source unit that provides the power supply to the power source unit.

12. The radio equipment according to claim 10 , wherein the power source monitor unit reports a remaining amount of the battery to the radio control device when the power is supplied from the battery.

13. A power supplying method of a radio equipment comprising:

transmitting and receiving a radio signal by using a plurality of radio frequency bands,

supplying a power from a battery and an external source unit,

switching a power supply source to the battery included in the radio equipment according to a state of a power supply from the external source unit,

transmitting a report indicating that a power supply source is switched from the power source to the battery to a radio control device, and

changing a radio frequency band of the amplification unit according to an instruction from the radio control device based on the report.
