Abstract

Power control of a base station of a CDMA system that includes a plurality of communication terminals and a maintenance terminal is optimized by adjusting one of transmitted power and received power of the base station, based on power distribution values of radio channels used in radio communications, the power distribution values being obtained by counting the number of the radio channels corresponding to each of the transmitted power levels and the received power levels of the base station.

Claims

1. A code division multiple access communication system, comprising a base station that provides radio communications to a plurality of communication terminals using a plurality of radio channels, and a base station control device that controls the base station,

wherein a variation range of each transmission power and received power of the base station is adjusted, based on power distribution values of the radio channels used for the radio communications, the power distribution values being acquired by the base station counting the number of the radio channels having each of a plurality of predetermined transmission power levels and each of a plurality of predetermined received power levels of the base station.

2. A base station control device of a code division multiple access communication system, the base station control device controlling a base station that provides radio communications to a plurality of communication terminals using a plurality of radio channels, comprising:

power distribution calculation means for acquiring power distribution values of a radio channel by the base station counting the number of the radio channels relevant to each of a plurality of predetermined transmission power levels and each of a plurality of predetermined received power levels; and

adjustment means for adjusting a variation range of the transmission power levels and the received power levels of the base station, based on the power distribution values of the radio channel.

3. A base station of a code division multiple access communication system, the base station providing radio communications to a plurality of communication terminals using a plurality of radio channels, comprising:

power distribution calculation means for acquiring power distribution values of a radio channel by the base station counting the number of the radio channels relevant to each of a plurality of predetermined transmission power levels and each of a plurality of predetermined received power levels; and

adjustment means for adjusting a variation range of the transmission power levels and the received power levels of the base station, based on the power distribution values of the radio channel.

4. The base station as claimed in claim 3, wherein the power distribution calculation means acquires the power distribution values of the radio channel, the radio communication through which is not completed normally.

5. The base station as claimed in claim 4, wherein the variation range of one or both of the transmission power level of the base station and the received power level of the base station are adjusted when a call loss ratio is greater than a predetermined value, the call loss ratio being obtained based on a ratio of the number of radio channels through which radio communications are not completed normally to the total number of radio channels through which radio communications are conducted (calls completed normally plus calls not completed normally).

6. The base station as claimed in claim 3, wherein the power distribution values are an accumulated probability distribution.

7. The base station as claimed in claim 6, wherein the variation range of one or both of the transmission power level of the base station and the received power level of the base station are adjusted based on the power value corresponding to a predetermined value of the accumulated probability.

8. The base station as claimed in claim 3, wherein the number of maximum allowable simultaneous calls is reported to a maintenance terminal connected through a network, and the number of the maximum allowable simultaneous calls is obtained based on a ratio of the maximum transmission power of the base station to the maximum power that can be assigned to one of the radio channels when the number of the maximum allowable simultaneous calls on the radio channels is smaller than a predetermined value.
