Abstract

Each mobile station device (12) includes: a subchannel allocation refusal determining section (50), which determines a subchannel refused to be allocated from a base station device (10), based on a communication quality measured for each subchannel by a communication quality measuring section (44); an RMAP creating section (52), which creates refused channel information (RMAP information) indicating the subchannel determined to be refused to be allocated; and a transmitting section (54) which gives notice of the created RMAP information to the base station device (10). The base station device (10) includes: an RMAP acquiring section (26), which acquires the RMAP information noticed from the each mobile station device (12); and a subchannel allocating section (32), which determines whether to change a subchannel to be allocated to the each mobile station device (12), based on the acquired RMAP information and allocated channel information (MAP information) indicating the subchannel allocated to the each mobile station device (12).

Claims

1. A mobile communications system, comprising:

as base station device; and

a plurality of mobile station devices,

wherein the base station device comprises channel allocating means for determining, among a plurality at traffic channels, at least some of the traffic channels allocated to each of the mobile station devices, and gives notice of allocated channel information indicative of the traffic channels determined by the channel allocating means to the each of the mobile station devices,

wherein the each of the mobile station devices performs communication with the base station device via the traffic channels indicated by the allocated channel information,

wherein the each of the mobile station devices comprises;

channel allocation refusal determining means for determining a traffic channel refused to be allocated to a communication with the base station device, from the base station device among the plurality of traffic channels based on information indicative of a state of communication with the base station device; and

refused channel information notice means for giving notice of refused channel information identifying the traffic channel refused to be allocated to the communication with the base station device, from the base station device among the plurality of traffic channels to the base station device, and

wherein the channel allocating means determines whether or not the traffic channels allocated to the each of the mobile station devices are changed, based on the refused channel information noticed from the each of the mobile station devices and the allocated channel information noticed to the each of the mobile station devices.

2. The mobile communications system according to claim 1, wherein the information indicative of the state of communication with the base station device, comprises a communication quality related to each of the plurality of traffic channels.

3. The mobile communications system according to claim 1,

wherein the information indicative of the state of communication with the base station device comprises at least a volume of data transmitted to the base station device,

wherein the refused channel information notice means further gives notice of transmission data volume information indicative of the volume of data transmitted to the base station device, to the base station device, and

wherein the channel allocating means determines whether or not the traffic channels allocated to the each of the mobile station devices are changed, further based on the transmission data volume information noticed from the each of the mobile station devices and the volume of data transmitted to the each of the mobile station devices.

5. The mobile communications system according to claim 2,

wherein the information indicative of the state of communication with the base station device composes at least a volume of data transmitted to the base station device,

wherein the refused channel information notice means further gives notice of transmission data volume information indicative of the volume of data transmitted to the base station device, to the base station device, and

wherein the channel allocating means determines whether or not the traffic channels allocated to the each of the mobile, station devices are changed, further based on the transmission data volume information noticed from the each of the mobile station devices and the volume of data transmitted to the each of the mobile station devices.

4. A channel allocation method for a mobile communications system, comprising:

a channel allocating step of determining, among a plurality of traffic channels, at least some of the traffic channels allocated to each of a plurality of mobile station devices, and giving notice of allocated channel information indicative of the traffic channels determined, in the channel allocating step to the each of the mobile station devices; and

communicating, by each of the mobile station devices, with a base station device via the traffic channels indicated by the allocated channel information,

wherein the each of the mobile station devices is configured to perform;

a channel allocation refusal determining step of determining a traffic channel refused to be allocated to a communication with the base station device, from the base station device among the plurality of traffic channels based on information indicative of a state of communication with the base station device; and

a refused channel information notice step of giving notice of refused channel information identifying the traffic channel refused to be allocated to the communication with the base station device, from the base station device among the plurality of traffic channels to the base station device, and

wherein the channel allocating step determines whether or not the traffic channels allocated to the each of the mobile station devices are changed, based on the refused channel information noticed from the each of the mobile station devices and the allocated channel information noticed to the each of the mobile station devices.
