Radio base station and mobile station
Provided is a mobile station UE equipped with a broadcast information generation unit ( 11 ) which generates broadcast information containing tag information formed by a plurality of bits. The tag information has a value defined only by a plurality of first bit values or by a plurality of first bit values and second bit values. The first bits contain a flag indicating whether the tag information contains the second bits. The broadcast information generation unit ( 11 ) updates the tag information value each time the content of the broadcast information is updated.
1. A radio base station comprising:
a broadcast information generation unit configured to generate broadcast information including tag information formed of a plurality of bits; and
a broadcast information transmission unit configured to transmit the broadcast information, wherein
a value of the tag information is defined by only values of a plurality of first bits or by the values of the plurality of first bits and a value of a second bit,
the plurality of first bits include a flag indicating whether or not the tag information includes the second bit, and
the broadcast information generation unit updates the value of the tag information every time a content of the broadcast information is updated.
2. The radio base station according to claim 1 , wherein the broadcast information generation unit increases or decreases the value of the tag information in series every time the content of the broadcast information is updated.
3. The radio base station according to claim 2 , wherein
the flag is the least significant bit of the plurality of first bits,
a value of the flag is set to “1” when the tag information includes the second bit, and is set to “0” when the tag information does not include the second bit, and
the broadcast information generation unit updates the value of the tag information including only the first bits on the assumption that “0” is set as a bit in a portion for the second bit in the tag information including the first bits and the second bit.
4. The radio base station according to claim 2 , wherein the flag is the most significant bit of the plurality of first bits.
5. The radio base station according to claim 1 , wherein
the broadcast information transmission unit transmits the tag information in a SIB 1 , and
the broadcast information generation unit does not update the value of the tag information even when a content of either a MIB or the SIB 1 is up dated.
6. The radio base station according to claim 1 , wherein the second bit is located as a less significant bit than the plurality of first bits in the plurality of bits.
7. A mobile station comprising:
a broadcast information reception unit configured to receive broadcast information; and
a check unit configured to check whether or not a value of tag information included in received given broadcast information is updated, wherein
the value of the tag information is defined by only values of a plurality of first bits or by the values of the plurality of first bits and a value of a second bit,
the plurality of first bits include a flag indicating whether or not the tag information includes the second bit,
the check unit calculates the value of the tag information by setting the first bits other than the flag to a value of a first parameter included in the given broadcast information, setting a value of the flag on the basis of whether or not a second parameter is included in the given broadcast information, and setting the second bit to a value of the second parameter, and
the broadcast information reception unit receives the rest of the broadcast information if it is confirmed that the value of the tag information is updated.
8. The mobile station according to claim 7 , wherein the second bit is located as a less significant bit than the plurality of first bits in the plurality of bits.
