Abstract

A radio bearer control method is disclosed that includes the steps of a radio base station transmitting a change request signal to a mobile terminal so that a communications condition set in the mobile terminal is changed, and the radio base station changing a communications condition set in the radio base station; the radio base station measuring the signal quality of a signal received from the mobile terminal; and the radio base station returning the changed communications condition to the communication condition before the change if the signal quality continues to be more degraded than a predetermined value for more than a predetermined period.

Claims

1. A radio bearer control method, comprising the steps of:

a radio base station transmitting a change request signal to a mobile terminal so that a communications condition set in the mobile terminal is changed, and the radio base station changing a communications condition set in the radio base station;

the radio base station measuring a signal quality of a signal received from the mobile terminal; and

the radio base station returning the changed communications condition to the communication condition before the change if the signal quality continues to be more degraded than a predetermined value for more than a predetermined period.

2. The radio bearer control method as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the steps is performed when an individual physical channel is assigned to the mobile terminal.

3. A radio base station performing radio communications with a mobile terminal, comprising:

a transmission part configured to transmit a change request signal to the mobile terminal so that a communications condition in the mobile terminal is changed;

a setting part configured to set a communications condition of the radio base station; and

a measurement part configured to measure a signal quality of a signal received from the mobile terminal,

wherein after the communications condition is changed to another communications condition, the other communications condition is returned to the communications condition before the change using the setting part if the signal quality continues to be more degraded than a predetermined value for more than a predetermined period.

4. The radio base station as claimed in claim 3, wherein the signal quality is evaluated by a power ratio of a desired wave signal and an undesired wave signal.

5. The radio base station as claimed in claim 3, wherein the signal quality is evaluated by an error rate of a pilot signal contained in the received signal.

6. The radio base station as claimed in claim 3, wherein the predetermined period is set according to a period for which the radio base station waits for a signal responsive to the change request signal.

7. The radio base station as claimed in claim 3, wherein the communications condition includes at least a transmission rate for the communications.
