Wireless communication network and flow control method
First Claim
1. A flow control method of controlling flow between a base station controller and base station in a wireless communication network that includes a base station controller, a base station and a mobile station, comprising:
- sending and receiving a data-transfer request frame and a data-transfer enable frame between a base station controller and a base station to thereby control flow of data from the base station controller to the base station;
providing each node of a base station controller, base station and mobile station with the same processing timing; and
performing flow control between the base station controller and base station based upon said processing timing, and sending and receiving data between the base station and the mobile station at said processing timing.

Abstract
Disclosed is a method of controlling flow between a base station controller and a base station in a wireless communication network. The base station controller, base station and a mobile station are provided with the same processing timing that is based upon the minimum receive interval of the mobile station. The base station controller sends and receives a data-transfer request frame and a data-transfer enable frame to and from the base station and performs flow control of data from the base station controller to the base station, and the base station transmits data to the mobile station at the processing timing.

18. A base station controller in a wireless communication network that includes at least a base station controller, a base station and a mobile station, comprising:
-
a buffer for storing data, which is directed toward the mobile station, received from a core network;
a flow controller for exercising control that includes transmitting a data-transfer request frame to the base station when it is desired to transmit data to the base station, receiving a data-transfer enable frame that is transmitted from the base station in response to said data-transfer request frame, and transmitting data, which has been stored in said buffer, to the base station based upon said data-transfer enable frame;
a transceiver for sending and receiving a data frame and each control frame to and from the base station; and
a first flow-control start-up unit for causing said flow control to be executed at a data receive interval of the mobile station. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)

22. A base station in a wireless communication network that includes at least a base station controller, a base station and a mobile station, comprising:
-
a buffer for storing data, which is directed toward each mobile station, received from the base station controller;
a transmitter for transmitting data, which has been stored in a buffer conforming to said mobile station, to the mobile station at a data receive interval of each mobile station; and
a transceiver for sending and receiving a data frame and each control frame to and from the base station controller. - View Dependent Claims (23)
