2. Description of the Related Art In a mobile communication system, it is important to effectively use channels because the number of mobile stations (the number of users) can be increased by effectively using a limited number of communication channels. In order to make effective use of channels, a method of allocating channels that can be used at any time in advance to each base station (fixed channel allocation) is used, instead of allocating each base station, a channel that can be used is searched for and used. A method (adaptive reuse method of dynamic channel assignment) is considered.

As a concrete example of the adaptive reuse method, the interference wave levels of the channels are measured in an arbitrary order from all the channels of the system, and a channel whose level is below a certain value is judged as an empty channel. The method of using the channel has been conventionally considered.

However, in this conventional method, there is no guarantee that the first detected empty channel is the optimum channel among all the empty channels. That is, in the adaptive reuse method, unlike fixed channel allocation, there is a high risk of interference interference during communication. In this sense, it is desirable to use the free channel with the best conditions among the free channels.

FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the interference failure. Hereinafter, with reference to the same figure, it will be explained that the adaptive reuse method has a high risk of interference interference during communication. In the figure, 1 and 2 are base stations, and 3 and 4
Is a mobile station communicating with the base stations 1 and 2, 5 and 6 are desired waves of the mobile stations 3 and 4, and 7 is an interference wave of the mobile station 4. Since the level L-Co of the interference wave 7 is small when the mobile station 4 is located far from the base station 1, the base station 1 moves to the mobile station 3
The same channel as that of the mobile station 4 is selected and given. However, when the mobile station 4 approaches the base station 1, the level H-Co of the interference wave 7 becomes high, causing interference interference.

[0006] In order to detect the optimum free channel, a method of informing the channel usage status of each base station can be considered, but this has a drawback that the control amount of the base station increases. It is also possible to lower the lower limit of the interference wave level and measure it to a lower value, and rank the empty channels according to the measured value, but this method requires measurement of all channels, which increases the control amount. . Therefore, there has been a demand for the appearance of a method for detecting an optimum empty channel without increasing the control amount of the base station and without performing many interference wave level measurements.

That is, according to the present invention, a service area is composed of a plurality of cells, a base station is arranged in each cell, and a plurality of mobile stations and a plurality of channels for these base stations to communicate with each other are provided. Alternatively, in a mobile communication system in which a mobile station measures an interference wave level and communicates using an empty channel whose interference wave level is a certain value or less, multiple types of order tables of channels for measuring the interference wave level are prepared and a fixed distance is set. The same order table is assigned to each distant base station, the interference wave level is measured by the base station or the mobile station according to the assigned order table, and when the mobile station measures the interference wave level, the base station is assigned to the mobile station. Is a method for detecting an empty channel of a mobile communication, in which the base station or the mobile station uses the first empty channel detected in accordance with the order table for communication.

In the past, any channel was used if it was determined to be an empty channel when measuring the interference wave level.
However, some channels have the same free channel and some do not. As in the present invention, a table in which the measurement order is the same is provided for each base station (hereinafter also referred to as a repeat base station) that is separated by a distance in which the same channel can be used repeatedly, and different tables are provided to other base stations. As a result, the probability that a channel with a high priority is used repeatedly also increases, and the channel used by the repeated base station can also be used by the own base station, so that an empty channel can be detected with a small number of measurements.

Further, by performing the interference measurement in the order considered to be the optimum channel, it is highly possible that the first detected free channel is the optimum free channel. FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the present invention. In the figure, 21-23 are base stations, 24-27 are mobile stations, 28
˜30 represent areas corresponding to the base stations 21 to 23. It is assumed that the base stations 21 and 23 can repeat the same channel, and the base station 21 detects an empty channel assigned to the mobile station 24. Now, assume that each base station detects an empty channel in an arbitrary order, and for example, each base station detects channels ch1, 2, 3, ... In the order [FIG. 1 (b)].

The base station 22 uses channels ch1 and ch2, and the base station 23 uses channel ch3. The base station 21 measures from channel ch1 and
No. 4 can detect an empty channel for the first time. Next, consider the case where the same order table is repeatedly given to base stations and different tables are given to non-repeatable base stations as in the present invention. For example, the base stations 21 and 23 have ch1, ch2, ch3, ch ...
The order is 7, ... [Fig. 1 (c)].

Since the base station 22 uses the channels ch5 and 6 and the base station 23 uses the channel ch1, the base station 21 can detect the empty channel ch1 first. As described above, according to the present invention, an empty channel can be detected with a small number of measurements.

Next, when the order table shown in FIG. 1B is used in FIG. 1A, the base station 22 and the mobile station 26 are used.
Channel ch2 is used, but the transmission power is suppressed to a low level by the transmission power control because the distance between the two stations is short. Therefore, the interference wave level of ch2 measured by the base station 21 is often less than a certain value. , There is a possibility that the channel is determined to be an empty channel and used by the base station 21.

However, when the mobile station 26 moves to the outer periphery of the area and the transmission power increases, there is a risk of interference interference. Thus, the first detected channel is not always optimal. In the case of using the order table shown in FIG. 1 (c), it is the base station 23 that first detects the repeat
Since it is the channel ch1 used in, it is the optimum channel.

Consider a case where the amount of traffic is small and the number of channels used by each base station is 10 ch or less. For example, when the base station 41 is using the channels ch1 to ch5, the idle channel detection is started from ch6.
Since each base station allocates an empty channel according to the detection order table, the used channel is c
From h1, base station B from ch11, base station C from ch2
There is a high possibility that it is filled from 1. When the traffic is light, it is unlikely that the base stations B and C are using ch1 to ch10. Therefore, ch6 is highly likely to be an empty channel. If ch6 is an empty channel, the empty channel can be detected in the first measurement.

Consider a case where the traffic volume is large and the channels used by the base station 41 are ch1 to ch10.
If all base stations use 10 channels, there is no free channel because this is the limit of the system capacity, but if there are base stations of 10 channels or less, there is a possibility that there are free channels. Base station B will be filled from ch11, so c
It is highly probable that ch20 is least used among h11 to h20. Similarly, the base station C has a high probability that ch30 is vacant. Therefore, the base station A is ch 20, 30, 19, 2
If the measurements are performed in the order of 9 ..., an empty channel can be detected with a small number of measurements.
