Mobile communication system
A mobile communication system includes a mobile station, a first base station and a second base station configured to perform radio communication with the mobile station, and a gateway station configured to perform communication with the first base station and the second base station or with the mobile station via the first base station and the second base station. One communication is performed between the mobile station and the gateway station by establishing a first communication connection between the gateway station and the first base station, a first radio communication connection between the first base station and the mobile station, and a second radio communication connection between the second base station and the mobile station. This enables a normal change of a cell during communication without any load on a network.
1. A mobile communication system, comprising:
a mobile station;
a first base station configured to perform radio communication with said mobile station;
a second base station configured to perform radio communication with said mobile station; and
a gateway station configured to perform communication with said first base station and said second base station or with said mobile station via said first base station and said second base station,
wherein communication is performed between said mobile station and said gateway station by establishing a first communication connection between said gateway station and said first base station, a first radio communication connection between said first base station and said mobile station, and a second radio communication connection between said second base station and said mobile station, and
data communicated via the first radio communication connection and data transmitted via the second radio communication connection include user data and control data, a ratio of data transmitted through the first radio communication connection relative to data transmitted through the second radio communication connection being determined based on connection qualities of the first communication connection and the second communication connection, and
a change of a radio communication path as the mobile station moves from one cell to another in a specific area is performed through addition and release of an RRC connection/S1 bearer, and
said specific area is at least one of an area with a same timing advance and an area of the same gateway station.
2. The mobile communication system according to claim 1 , wherein the communication is performed between said mobile station and said gateway station by establishing a second communication connection between said gateway station and said second base station in addition to said first communication connection, said first radio communication connection, and said second radio communication connection.
3. The mobile communication system according to claim 2 , wherein transmission of user plane signals is distributed through a first path including said first communication connection and said first radio communication connection and a second path including said second communication connection and said second radio communication connection.
4. The mobile communication system according to claim 1 , wherein transmission of user plane signals is distributed through a first path including said first communication connection and said first radio communication connection and a second path including said first communication connection and said second radio communication connection.
5. The mobile communication system according to claim 2 , wherein transmission of control plane signals is distributed through a first path including said first communication connection and said first radio communication connection and a second path including said second communication connection and said second radio communication connection.
6. The mobile communication system according to claim 1 , wherein transmission of control plane signals is distributed through a first path including said first communication connection and said first radio communication connection and a second path including said first communication connection and said second radio communication connection.
7. The mobile communication system according to claim 2 , wherein transmission of control plane signals is distributed through a first path including said first communication connection and said first radio communication connection and a second path including said second communication connection and said first radio communication connection.
