Abstract

A radio communication base station allocates the same radio resource as a radio resource used for communication between the radio communication base station and a radio communication terminal in other radio communication base station to be a radio resource used in the other radio communication base station for communication between the other radio communication base station and the radio communication terminal. The radio communication base station includes a control unit that performs control to allocate a radio resource used for communication between a radio communication terminal moving at at least a predetermined speed and the other radio communication base station on a priority basis in accordance with content of service in the communication.

Claims

1. A radio communication base station that allocates the same radio resource as a radio resource used for communication between the radio communication base station and a radio communication terminal in other radio communication base station to be a radio resource used in the other radio communication base station for communication between the other radio communication base station and the radio communication terminal, the radio communication base station comprising:

a control unit configured to perform control to allocate a radio resource used for communication between a radio communication terminal moving at at least a predetermined speed and the other radio communication base station prior to a radio resource used for communication between the other radio communication base station and other radio communication terminal in accordance with content of service in the communication, wherein

the control unit performs control to allocate the radio resource used for communication between the radio communication terminal moving at at least the predetermined speed and the other radio communication base station in accordance with content of service in the communication when congestion does not occur in the other radio communication base station,

when congestion occurs in the other radio communication base station after allocation of the radio resource used for communication between the radio communication terminal moving at at least the predetermined speed and the other radio communication base station, the control unit performs control so that allocation of the radio resource that was allocated in accordance with content of service in the communication is released based on priority at a time of allocation, and

the control unit performs control so that allocation of the radio resource that was allocated in accordance with content of service in the communication is released according to an opposite priority from the time of allocation.

2. The radio communication base station according to claim 1, wherein the control unit performs control to allocate the radio resource used for communication between the radio communication terminal moving at at least the predetermined speed and the other radio communication base station based on real-timeness and/or communication volume requested for service in the communication.

3. The radio communication base station according to claim 1, wherein the control unit performs control not to allocate the radio resource used for communication between the radio communication terminal moving at at least the predetermined speed and the other radio communication base station when congestion occurs in the other radio communication base station.

4. The radio communication base station according to claim 2, wherein the control unit performs control to allocate the radio resource used for communication between the radio communication terminal moving at at least the predetermined speed and the other radio communication base station in accordance with content of service in the communication when congestion does not occur in the other radio communication base station.
