Cognitive wireless communication system
First Claim
1. A radio communication system, comprising:
- a base station implementing a plurality of radio systems, anda plurality of terminals for communicating with the base station using the plurality of radio systems, each of the terminals comprising a plurality of transmitters, a plurality of receivers, and a controller for controlling the transmitters and the receivers, each transmitter and each receiver of each of the terminals corresponding to a radio system of the plurality of radio systems, whereinthe base station decides a priority of radio systems of the plurality of radio systems that each of the terminals will use to communicate thereafter and transmits paging signals of one of the plurality of radio systems which include priority information indicating the decided priority of radio systems of the plurality of radio systems that each of the terminals will use to each of the terminals,the controller of each terminal decides the radio systems to use for communication based on the priority information included in the paging signals transmitted from the base station, obtained information on the radio systems available for the terminal to use, and information on a radio system that the terminal requests to use, andthe controller of each terminal sets the receiver of the terminal that corresponds to the radio system decided to be used for communication in an active state when the radio system decided to be used for communication is different from the radio system used by the terminal for receiving the paging signals and the terminal is set to the sleep state for the radio system decided to be used for communication.

Abstract
To prevent a hung-up of communications due to changes in a radio wave condition resulting from frequent displacement of the terminals and changes in a number of the terminals, and to realize switching of the radio systems adapting to the radio condition. A radio communication system comprising: a base station for providing a plurality of radio systems, and terminals for communicating with the base station through the plurality of radio systems. The base station decides a priority of the radio system on which the each terminal will communicate thereafter and transmits paging signals of one of the plurality of radio systems which includes information on the decided priority to the each terminal.
