Abstract

A mobile communication system includes a base station, and mobile stations that communicate with the base station. At least one of the base station and the mobile stations includes a number-of-carriers switching unit. The switching units switches, on the basis of a communication state, a ratio of numbers of carriers for downlink communication and uplink communication, by dividing a band of a carrier.

Claims (38)

1. A mobile communication system comprising a base station and

a plurality of mobile stations that communicate with the base station, wherein

at least one of the base station and the plurality of mobile stations includes a number-of-bands switching unit that switches, on the basis of a communication state, a ratio of numbers of bands for downlink communication and uplink communication, by dividing a band of an uplink, and

the base station receives a narrowband carrier acquired in the divided band.

2. The mobile communication system according to claim 1 , wherein the number of bands switching unit switches the ratio of numbers of bands for downlink communication and uplink communication to a state of 1:1 and a state of 1:N (where N is a positive integer equal to or larger than 2).

3. The mobile communication system according to claim 1 , wherein the base station transmits a control signal for making an instruction for setting the ratio of numbers of bands for downlink communication and uplink communication to a specific mobile station of the plurality of mobile stations.

4. The mobile communication system according to claim 3 , wherein the specific mobile station sets the narrowband carrier for transmission for a transmitter on the basis of the control signal.

5. The mobile communication system according to claim 3 , wherein the base station sets the divided band for reception for a receiver on the basis of the control signal.

6. The mobile communication system according to claim 1 , wherein the narrowband carrier is subjected to ASK modulation.

7. The mobile communication system according to claim 1 , wherein the narrowband carrier is intermittent.

8. The mobile communication system according to claim 1 , wherein

the number-of bands switching unit monitors the communication state and, with reference to the communication state, sets at least one of a carrier frequency, a bandwidth, a modulation processing, a demodulation processing, an encoding processing, a decoding processing, and a transmission power.

9. A base station of a mobile communication system comprising the base station and a plurality of mobile stations that communicate with the base station, wherein

the base station includes a number-of-bands switching unit that switches, on the basis of a communication state, a ratio of numbers of bands for downlink communication and uplink communication, by dividing a band of an uplink, and

the base station receives a narrowband carrier acquired in the divided band.

10. The base station according to claim 9 , wherein

the number-of- bands switching unit switches the ratio of numbers of bands for downlink communication and uplink communication to a state of 1:1 and a state of 1:N (where N is a positive integer equal to or larger than 2).

11. The base station according to claim 9 , wherein

the base station transmits a control signal for making an instruction for setting the ratio of numbers of bands for downlink communication and uplink communication to a specific mobile station of the plurality of mobile stations.

12. The base station according to claim 11 , wherein

the base station sets the narrowband carrier for reception for a receiver on the basis of the control signal.

13. The base station according to claim 9 , wherein

the narrowband carrier is intermittent.

14. The base station according to claim 9 , wherein

the number-of- bands switching unit monitors the communication state and, with reference to the communication state, sets at least one of a carrier frequency, a bandwidth, a modulation processing, a demodulation processing, an encoding processing, a decoding processing, and a transmission power.

15. A mobile station of a mobile communication system comprising a base station and a plurality of mobile stations that communicate with the base station, wherein

the mobile station includes a number-of- bands switching unit that switches, on the basis of a communication state, a ratio of numbers of bands for downlink communication and uplink communication, by dividing a band of an uplink, and

the base station receives a narrowband carrier acquired in the divided band.

16. The mobile station according to claim 15 , wherein

the number-of-bands switching unit switches the ratio of numbers of bands for downlink communication and uplink communication to a state of 1:1 and a state of 1:N (where N is a positive integer equal to or larger than 2).

17. The mobile station according to claim 15 , wherein

the base station transmits a control signal for making an instruction for setting the ratio of numbers of bands for downlink communication and uplink communication to the mobile station.

18. The mobile station according to claim 17 , wherein

the mobile station sets the narrowband carrier for transmission for a transmitter on the basis of the control signal.

19. The mobile station according to claim 15 , wherein

the narrowband carrier is subjected to ASK modulation.

20. The mobile station according to claim 15 , wherein

the number-of- bands switching unit monitors the communication state and, with reference to the communication state, sets at least one of a carrier frequency, a bandwidth, a modulation processing, a demodulation processing, an encoding processing, a decoding processing, and a transmission power.
