Abstract

A wireless communications system comprises a control apparatus (AA server) for controlling subscriber information, base stations (BS1, BS2), and mobile stations (MS1, MS2), wherein the control apparatus includes: a controlling unit for controlling priorities corresponding to fixed identifiers of mobile stations; the mobile station includes: a transmitting unit for transmitting the fixed identifier of a mobile station to a target base station, to which the mobile station is connected, when being connected to the base station; and the base station includes: a receiving unit for receiving the fixed identifier of a mobile station from the mobile station; and an allotting unit for allotting an identifier in an area corresponding to the priority of the corresponding mobile station to the mobile station on the basis of the received fixed identifier and control information of the controlling unit.

Claims

1. A dynamic identifier allotting method of dynamically allotting an identifier to a mobile station in an area from a base station, the dynamic identifier allotting method comprising:

controlling a priority in advance corresponding to a fixed identifier of a mobile station;

receiving a fixed identifier of a mobile station from the mobile station to which an identifier is allotted;

determining a priority corresponding to the received fixed identifier; and

allotting an identifier corresponding to the priority of the mobile station to the mobile station.

2. The dynamic identifier allotting method according to claim 1, wherein the fixed identifier of the mobile station is a terminal identifier depending on a mobile station terminal or a subscriber identifier depending on a subscriber.

3. A dynamic identifier allotting method of dynamically allotting an identifier to a mobile station in an area from a base station, the dynamic identifier allotting method comprising:

receiving an access request from the mobile station;

determining a priority corresponding to the received access request; and

allotting an identifier corresponding to the access request to the mobile station.

4. The dynamic identifier allotting method according to claim 3, wherein the priority corresponding to the access request depends on an application which a mobile station terminal uses.

5. A dynamic identifier allotting method of dynamically allotting an identifier to a mobile station in an area from a base station, the dynamic identifier allotting method comprising:

when a mobile station is switched from a base station currently being connected to another base station, receiving an identifier the base station currently being connected has dynamically allotted to the mobile station, by another base station; and

allotting to the mobile station an identifier corresponding to a priority held by the identifier.

6. A wireless communications system comprising:

the control apparatus includes a controlling unit for controlling a priority corresponding to a fixed identifier of the mobile station;

the mobile station includes a transmitting unit for transmitting the fixed identifier of the mobile station to a base station to which the mobile station is connected; and

the base station includes;

a receiving unit for receiving the fixed identifier of the mobile station from the mobile station; and

an allotting unit for allotting to the mobile station an identifier in an area corresponding to the priority of the mobile station based on the received fixed identifier and control information of the controlling unit.

7. The wireless communications system according to claim 6, wherein the fixed identifier of the mobile station is a terminal identifier depending on a mobile station terminal or a subscriber identifier depending on a subscriber.

8. A wireless communications system comprising:

a mobile station includes a transmitting unit for transmitting information showing contents of an access request to a base station to which the mobile station is connected, when making the access request to the base station; and

a base station includes a receiving unit for receiving the access request from the mobile station, and an allotting unit for allotting to the mobile station an identifier in an area corresponding to a priority of the access request based on the information showing contents of the received access request.

9. The wireless communications system according to claim 8, wherein the information showing the contents of the access request is information showing an application which a mobile station terminal uses.

10. A wireless communications system comprising:

when a mobile station is switched from a base station currently being connected to another base station, the mobile station includes a transmitting unit for transmitting an identifier dynamically allotted to the mobile station by the base station currently being connected to another base station; and

another base station includes a receiving unit for receiving the identifier the base station currently being connected has dynamically allotted to the mobile station, and an allotting unit for allotting to the mobile station an identifier corresponding to a priority held by the identifier received by the receiving unit.
