Abstract

A radio communication control device accepts a call-up from a radio communication terminal and includes a unit configured to detect the degree of jamming in a cell, a unit configured to confirm the intention of a user of a terminal concerned as to whether the call-up is continued regardless of addition of an extra to the user's telephone call charge when the call-up has been made from a radio communication terminal in the cell concerned in a specific jammed state, a unit configured to block the call-up concerned in accordance with the confirmed intention of the user of the terminal concerned and a unit configured to change charge setting so as to add an extra to the user's telephone call charge when the call-up has not been blocked in the specific jammed state.

Claims (22)

1. A radio communication control device that accepts a call-up from a radio communication terminal comprising:

a unit configured to detect the degree of jamming in a cell;

a unit configured to confirm the intention of a user of a terminal concerned as to whether the call-up is continued regardless of addition of an extra to the user's telephone call charge when the call-up has been made from a radio communication terminal in the cell concerned in a specific jammed state;

a unit configured to block the call-up concerned in accordance with the confirmed intention of the user of the terminal concerned; and

a unit configured to change charge setting so as to add an extra to the user's telephone call charge when the call-up has not been blocked in the specific jammed state.

2. A radio communication control device that calls a radio communication terminal of a call mate up comprising:

a unit configured to detect a jammed state in a cell;

a unit configured to confirm, when a call-in to a terminal belonging to the cell concerned has been made in a specific jammed state, a previously declared intention of the user of the terminal concerned as to whether call reception is refused; and

a unit configured to block connection to the terminal concerned when the confirmed intention is an intention to refuse call reception in the specific jammed state.

3. A radio communication terminal comprising:

a unit configured to receive and store a notification of a jammed state in a cell;

a unit configured to make a call-up to a terminal of a call mate;

a unit configured to confirm the intention of a user as to whether the call-up is made regardless of addition of an extra to the use's telephone call charge in a specific jammed state upon calling-up; and

a unit configured to block the call-up in accordance with the intention of the user when the jammed state in the cell concerned is the specific jammed state upon calling-up.

4. A radio communication terminal comprising:

a unit configured to accept and store a notification of a jammed state in a cell;

a unit configured to make a call-in;

a unit configured to confirm the intention of a user as to whether call reception is refused in a specific jammed state; and

a unit configured to block a response to general calling of terminals in a cell when the intention of the user is the intention to refuse call reception.

5. A radio communication terminal that performs data communication comprising:

a unit configured to set whether QoS guaranteed data communication at a particular data rate is refused in a QoS guaranteed area; and

a unit configured to confirm that QoS guaranteed data communication at the data rate is to be executed and block uploading and downloading at the data rate when the QoS guaranteed data communication is set to be refused.
