Transmit power control method for reducing cellular interference in cellular radio communication system and radio base station device for implementing the same
First Claim
1. A base station device for making radio communications with one or a plurality of mobile stations, comprising:
- a pilot signal transmitter module for transmitting a pilot signal;
a receiver module for receiving a response to the pilot signal from a mobile station;
a transmit power determination module for comparing received pilot signal quality data included in the responses from mobile stations and determining transmit power for transmission to each mobile station depending on a result of the comparison; and
a mobile station signal transmitter module for transmitting a signal to the mobile station or mobile stations at the determined transmit power;
wherein the transmit power determination module;
holds first criterion value indicating minimum channel quality for mobile stations within a communication range of the base station;
creates quality data based on reports from one or a plurality of mobile stations and stores the quality data;
creates a first index indicating channel quality difference between mobile stations from the stored quality data; and
determines transmit power depending on a result of comparison between the first index and the first criterion value;
wherein the transmit power determination module changes transmit power when the first index is larger than the first criterion value;
wherein the transmit power determination module holds a second criterion value indicating channel quality difference allowed between mobile stations within a communication range of the base station, selects a mobile station having the first index larger than the first criterion value and determines transmit power so as to make a channel quality value of the mobile station not larger than the second criterion value.

Abstract
A communication device includes pilot signal sending part and transmit power control part and holds a criterion value indicating target channel quality for mobile stations within the area covered by the base station. It creates quality data from reports from one or plural mobile stations, stores the quality data, creates a first representative value indicating average channel quality for the mobile station(s) from the stored quality data, and changes the transmit power depending on the result of comparison between the first representative value and the criterion value. It creates a second representative value indicating distribution of low channel quality from the stored quality data and updates the criterion value depending on the result of comparison between the second representative value and the criterion value.
