Radio communication system
First Claim
1. A radio communication system comprising:
- at least one base station;
a plurality of mobile stations accommodated in said base station; and
a line controller connected to said base station for managing communication channels possessed by said radio communication system, said line controller including a first memory for keeping track of each of the communication channels of said system for each base station as to whether the communication channel is occupied or idle, said base station including a second memory for storing at least one of idle communication channels stored in said first memory as reserved channels, wherein said base station is responsive to a connection request generated from an arbitrary calling mobile station of said mobile stations, said connection request including designation of at least one called mobile station, to designate the reserved channel stored in said second memory included in said base station as a communication channel for at least said calling mobile station to establish a connection with said calling mobile station.

Abstract
A radio communication system has a base station(s), a plurality of mobile stations, and a line controller connected to the base station. The line controller has a first memory for keeping track of each communication channel for each base station as to whether the communication channel is occupied or idle. The base station has a second memory for storing an idle communication channel stored in the first memory as a reserved channel. The base station is responsive to a connection request issued from an arbitrary calling mobile station and including designation of a called mobile station to designate a reserved channel stored in the second memory of an associated base station as a communication channel for the calling and called mobile stations to establish a connection with the mobile stations.

7. A radio communication system comprising:
-
at least one base station;
a plurality of mobile stations accommodated in said base station;
a line controller connected to said base station for managing communication channels possessed by said radio communication system;
said line controller including a first memory for keeping track of each of the communication channels of said system for each base station as to whether the communication channel is occupied or idle;
said base station including a second memory for storing at least one of idle communication channels stored in said first memory as a reserved channel;
each of said mobile stations including a connection request unit for issuing a connection request to said base station, said connection request including designation of at least one called mobile station and designation of a priority for a connection; and
a preferential connection control unit responsive to a connection request having a high connection priority from an arbitrary calling mobile station to secure an idle communication channel from the communication channels possessed by said system to preferentially assign the secured communication channel to a communication associated with said connection request. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)

11. A radio communication method in a radio communication system which comprises at least one base station, a plurality of mobile stations accommodated in said base station, and a line controller connected to said base station for managing communication channels possessed by said radio communication system, said line controller including a first memory for keeping track of each of the communication channels of said system for each base station as to whether the communication channel is occupied or idle, and said base station including a second memory for storing at least one of idle communication channels stored in said first memory as a reserved channel, said method comprising the steps of:
-
said base station requesting said line controller for notification of an idle communication channel which is stored in said second memory as the reserved channel;
said line controller notifying said base station of an idle communication channel stored in said first memory in response to the request for the notification of an idle communication channel from said base station;
an arbitrary calling mobile station of said mobile stations issuing a connection request including designation of at least one called mobile station to said base station; and
said base station, in response to the connection request, designating the reserved channel stored in said second memory of said base station as a communication channel for at least said calling mobile station to establish a connection with said calling mobile station. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A radio communication method in a radio communication system which comprises at least one base station, a plurality of mobile stations accommodated in said base station, a line controller connected to said base station for keeping track of communication channels possessed by said radio communication system, and said line controller including a first memory for keeping track of each of the communication channels of said system for each base station as to whether the communication channel is occupied or idle, and said base station including a second memory for storing at least one of idle communication channels stored in said first memory as a reserved channel, said method comprising the steps of:
-
an arbitrary calling mobile station of said mobile stations issuing a connection request to said base station, said connection request including designation of at least one called mobile station and designation of a priority for a connection; and
said system responding to a connection request having a high connection priority from an arbitrary calling mobile station to secure an idle communication channel from the communication channels possessed by said system to preferentially assign the secured communication channel to a communication associated with said connection request. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
