Radio control device, radio communication system using the same, and operation control methof thereof
First Claim
1. A radio control device which comprises user plane control means for controlling transfer of user data concerning a mobile terminal, and control plane control means for controlling transfer of signaling as a control signal, and which manages a radio base station, characterized in that said control plane control means comprises paging group deciding means for deciding, in response to an external trigger for activating a paging process, and on the basis of terminal identification information contained in the external trigger, paging group information indicating a called party group to which a mobile terminal specified by the terminal identification information belongs, and said user plane control means comprises radio channel setting information deciding means for deciding setting information for a paging radio channel generated by said radio base station, on the basis of the paging group information.

Abstract
In response to an external trigger for paging processing start, a CPS (41) decides paging group information according to the terminal identification information contained in the external trigger (S3) and passes the paging group information to a UPS (42) in charge of the user plane (S6). The UPS generates radio channel setting information for paging according to the paging group information (S8). The paging information passed between the CPS and the UPS is information of paging group not radio-depending. The UPS converts this information into radio-dependent information when performing paging. Accordingly, the C-U separation of the RNC (4) becomes possible and the CPS and the UPS can develop without depending on each other.
