Abstract

An AICH control circuit (14) outputs, to an AICH generating Circuit (3), RACH resource information from an RACH resource management circuit (13), SIR information from a finger part (4), error rate information from a decoding part (5), and a call processing control signal. The AICH generating circuit (3) uses AICH information from the RACH resource management circuit (13) and an AICH control signal.

Claims

1. In a mobile communication system, a mobile station transmitting to a base station a RACH (Random Access Channel) preamble for notification of generation of a message prior to transmission of said message when calling and said base station transmitting an AICH (Acquisition Indicator Channel) to said mobile station when detecting said RACH preamble, wherein:

said base station transmits information, which does not permit message transmission of said mobile station, to all mobile stations belonging to an area of said base station, regardless of whether said RACH preamble has been detected, at least when there is lack of resources or when no reception information of a predetermined level is provided.

2. The mobile communication system according to claim 1, wherein:

said resources are RACH resources or traffic channel resources, and said reception information is SIR (Signal to Interference Ratio) information or error rate information.

3. The mobile communication system according to claim 2, wherein:

said base station transmits to said mobile station information which does not permit the transmission of said message of said mobile station, using said AICH.

4. A radio base station device, which transmits an AICH (Acquisition Indicator Channel) to a mobile station when detecting a RACH (Random Access Channel) preamble transmitted by said mobile station for notification of generation of a message prior to transmission of said message when said mobile station calls, the radio base station device comprising:

means for transmitting information, which does not permit message transmission of said mobile station, to all mobile stations belonging to an area of said base station, regardless of whether said RACH preamble has been detected, at least when there is lack of resources or when no reception information of a predetermined level is provided.

5. The radio base station device according to claim 4, wherein:

said resources are RACH resources or traffic channel resources, and said reception information is SIR (Signal to Interference Ratio) information or error rate information.

6. The radio base station device according to claim 5, wherein:

said means for controlling the transmission of said RACH preamble transmits to said mobile station information which does not permit the transmission of said message of said mobile station, using said AICH.

7. A radio base station device comprising:

a delay profile generation circuit for generating a delay profile from a received signal;

a RACH preamble detection circuit for detecting, based on said delay profile, a RACH (Random Access Channel) preamble transmitted by a mobile station for notification of generation of a message;

an AICH generation circuit for transmitting an AICH (Acquisition Indicator Channel) to said mobile station when detecting said RACH preamble; and

an AICH control circuit for outputting to said AICH generation circuit an AICH control signal for transmitting information, which does not permit message transmission of said mobile station, to all mobile stations belonging to an area of said base station, regardless of whether said RACH preamble has been detected, at least when there is lack of resources or when no reception information of a predetermined level is provided.

8. The radio base station device according to claim 7, wherein:

said AICH generation circuit continues transmitting to said mobile station a signal for controlling the transmission of said RACH preamble of said mobile station, regardless of the content of AICH information based on said RACH resource information, while said AICH control signal is being output.

9. The radio base station device according to claim 8, wherein:

said AICH generation circuit continues transmitting to said mobile station information which does not permit the transmission of said message of said mobile station, using said AICH.

10. A random access control method for a radio base station device, which transmits an AICH (Acquisition Indicator Channel) to a mobile station when detecting a RACH (Random Access Channel) preamble transmitted by said mobile station for notification of generation of a message prior to transmission of said message when said mobile station calls, the method comprising:

transmitting information, which does not permit message transmission of said mobile station, to all mobile stations belonging to an area of said base station, regardless of whether said RACH preamble has been detected, at least when there is lack of resources or when no reception information of a predetermined level is provided.

11. The random access control method for a radio base station device according to claim 10, wherein:

said resources are RACH resources or traffic channel resources, and said reception information is SIR (Signal to Interference Ratio) information or error rate information.

12. The random access control method for a radio base station device according to claim 11, wherein:

said controlling the transmission of said RACH preamble comprises transmitting to said mobile station information which does not permit the transmission of said message of said mobile station, using said AICH.

13. A random access control method for a radio base station device, which comprises a delay profile generation circuit for generating a delay profile from a received signal;

a RACH preamble detection circuit for detecting, based on said delay profile, a RACH (Random Access Channel) preamble transmitted by a mobile station for notification of generation of a message; and

an AICH generation circuit for transmitting an AICH (Acquisition Indicator Channel) to said mobile station when detecting said RACH preamble, the method comprising;

outputting to said AICH generation circuit an AICH control signal for transmitting information, which does not permit message transmission of said mobile station, to all mobile stations belonging to an area of said base station, regardless of whether said RACH preamble has been detected, at least when there is lack of RACH resources or traffic channel resources, or when no SIR (Signal to Interference Ratio) information or error rate information of a predetermined level is provided.

14. The random access control method for a radio base station device according to claim 13, wherein:

said outputting an AICH control signal comprises continuing transmitting to said mobile station a signal for controlling the transmission of said RACH preamble of said mobile station, regardless of the content of AICH information based on said RACH resource information, while said AICH control signal is being output.

15. The random access control method for a radio base station device according to claim 14, wherein:

said outputting an AICH control signal comprises continuing transmitting from said AICH generation circuit to said mobile station information which does not permit the transmission of said message of said mobile station, using said AICH.
