Abstract

A mobile radio system for radio communications between a base station and a plurality of mobile stations, as well as among a plurality of mobile stations, including a mobile radio channel assignment method, where each mobile station is capable of acquiring position information of the current position of the mobile station, as well as assigning a frequency channel for radio communications. The mobile station transmits and receives information using the assigned frequency channel, corresponding to the acquired position information.

Claims

1. A mobile radio apparatus for establishing radio communications between a base station and a plurality of mobile stations and radio communications among the plurality of mobile stations, each of said plurality of mobile stations comprising:

location information acquiring means for acquiring position information of a current position of the mobile station;

channel assigning means for assigning a frequency channel for radio communications; and

transmitting/receiving means for transmitting and receiving information with the frequency channel assigned with said channel assigning means, wherein

said channel assigning means assigns the frequency channel corresponding to the position information acquired with said position information acquiring means.

2. A mobile radio apparatus for establishing radio communications between a base station and a plurality of mobile stations and radio communications among the plurality of mobile stations, each of said plurality of mobile stations comprising:

position information acquiring means for acquiring position information of a current position of the mobile station;

channel assigning means for assigning a frequency channel for radio communications; and

transmitting/receiving means for transmitting and receiving information with the frequency channel assigned with said channel assigning means, wherein

said channel assigning means assigns a frequency channel of a lowest usage rate, with respect to channel usage information of other of the plurality of mobile stations.

3. The apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the channel usage information of the other of the plurality of mobile stations is notified to a mobile station via a common channel used by all of the plurality of mobile stations.

5. The apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the channel usage information of the other of the plurality of mobile stations is notified to a mobile station via a common channel used by all of the plurality of mobile stations.

4. A mobile radio apparatus for establishing radio communication between a base station and a plurality of mobile stations and radio communication among the plurality of mobile stations, each of said plurality of mobile station comprising:

position information acquiring means for acquiring position information of a current position of the mobile station;

channel assigning means for assigning a frequency channel used for radio communication; and

transmitting/receiving means for transmitting and receiving information with a frequency channel assigned with said channel assigning means, wherein

said channel assigning means updates the frequency channel assignment for distributional use of a plurality of frequency channels on a basis of channel usage information of other of the plurality of mobile stations.

6. A mobile radio apparatus for establishing radio communication between a base station and a plurality mobile stations and radio communication among the plurality of mobile stations, said plurality of mobile stations comprising:

position information acquiring means for acquiring position information of a current position of the mobile station;

channel assigning means for assigning a frequency channel for radio communications;

a transmitting/receiving means for transmitting and receiving information with a frequency channel assigned with said channel assigning means, wherein

said channel assigning means selects the frequency channel by sensing the carrier for another frequency channel selected sequentially or at random.

7. A mobile radio channel assigning method for establishing radio communications between a base station and a plurality of mobile stations and radio communication among the plurality of mobile stations with channel assignment, comprising:

sensing a carrier for a frequency channel;

setting another frequency channel, corresponding to position information acquired by a mobile station; and

transmitting the set frequency channel to another of the plurality of mobile stations.

8. The method according to claim 7, wherein the transmitting to the other of the plurality of mobile stations is via a common channel used by all of the plurality of mobile stations.

9. The method according to claim 7, further comprising:

selecting the frequency channel, set by the setting, with a lowest usage rate on the basis of channel usage information of another of the plurality of mobile stations.

10. The method according to claim 9, wherein the channel usage information of the other of the plurality of mobile stations is notified to a mobile station via a common channel used by all of the plurality of mobile stations.

11. The method according to claim 9, further comprising:

changing the set frequency channel to a plurality of frequency channels on the basis of the channel usage information of the other of the plurality of mobile stations.

12. The method according to claim 11, wherein the channel usage information of the other of the plurality of mobile stations is notified to a mobile station via a common channel used by all of the plurality of mobile stations.

13. The method according to claim 7, wherein a predetermined range is divided into area groups on the basis of the position information, and the set frequency channel and timing of carrier sensing are assigned in accordance with a combination of a part of the position information and a part of identification information of a mobile station.

14. A mobile radio channel assigning method for establishing radio communications between a base station and a plurality of mobile stations and radio communication among the plurality of mobile stations with channel assignment, comprising:
