Abstract

A radio communication method includes: a transmitting step of broadcasting, by a radio base station, a connection condition of the radio base station; a managing step of managing, by the radio base station, a connection with a radio station requesting a connection to the radio base station based on the connection condition, by using a blockchain shared by a plurality of radio base stations; and a changing step of acquiring, by the radio base station, information on a radio station connected to another radio base station from the blockchain and changing the connection condition of the radio base station based on the information on the radio station connected to the other radio base station.

Claims (28)

1 . A radio communication method comprising:

broadcasting, by a radio base station, a connection condition of the radio base station;

managing, by the radio base station, a connection with a radio station requesting a connection to the radio base station based on the connection condition, by using a blockchain shared by a plurality of radio base stations; and

acquiring, by the radio base station, information on a radio station connected to another radio base station from the blockchain and changing the connection condition of the radio base station based on the information on the radio station connected to the other radio base station.

2 . The radio communication method according to claim 1 , wherein the changing of the connection condition includes decreasing a connection cost of the radio base station when traffic is concentrated on the other radio base station.

3 . The radio communication method according to claim 1 , wherein the changing of the connection condition includes increasing a connection cost of the radio base station when traffic is concentrated on the radio base station.

4 . The radio communication method according to claim 1 , wherein the other radio base station includes one or more radio base stations having a higher transition probability of the radio station transitioning to the radio base station.

5 . The radio communication method according to claim 1 , wherein the other radio base station includes one or more radio base stations adjacent to or close to the radio base station.

6 . A radio base station comprising:

a processor; and

a memory storing program instructions that cause the processor to:

broadcast a connection condition of the radio base station;

manage a connection with a radio station requesting a connection to the radio base station based on the connection condition, by using a blockchain shared by a plurality of radio base stations; and

acquire information on a radio station connected to another radio base station from the blockchain and change the connection condition of the radio base station based on the information on the radio station connected to the other radio base station.

7 . A radio communication system comprising:

a plurality of radio base stations; and

a radio station,

wherein a radio base station of the plurality of radio base stations includes

a first processor; and

a first memory storing program instructions that cause the first processor to:

broadcast a connection condition of the radio base station;

manage a connection with a radio station requesting a connection to the radio base station based on the connection condition, by using a blockchain shared by the plurality of radio base stations; and

acquire information on a radio station connected to another radio base station from the blockchain and change the connection condition of the radio base station based on the information on the radio station connected to the other radio base station, and

wherein the radio station includes

a second processor; and

a second memory storing program instructions that cause the second processor to:

receive the connection condition; and

determine the radio base station to which the radio station requests the connection, based on the connection condition.
