図1において、無線基地局はn個(nは2以上の整数)のアンテナ11-1~11-nを備える。電力変更部12-1~12-nは、各アンテナで送受信する信号の送信電力および受信電力を変更する。送受信部13-1~13-nは、各アンテナで送受信する信号の送信処理および受信処理を行う。信号処理制御部101は、無線基地局に接続するネットワークとの間で入出力する信号と各アンテナで送受信する信号との変換処理を行う。電力変更量管理部102は、電力変更部12-1~12-nに設定する電力変更量として、各アンテナで送受信する信号の宛先無線端末局ごとかつアンテナ共通の共通電力変更量と、宛先無線端末局ごとかつアンテナごとの個別電力変更量に分けて管理する。共通電力通知部103は、信号の送受信処理前に宛先無線端末局に応じた共通電力変更量を電力制御部106に通知する。個別電力通知部104は、信号の送受信処理とは別の所定のタイミングで事前設定する個別電力変更量を電力制御部106に通知する。電力制御部106は、記憶部105に個別電力変更量を記憶し、信号の宛先無線端末局に応じた共通電力変更量と個別電力変更量を合わせて電力変更部12-1~12-nの電力変更制御を行う。
図4において、無線基地局の電力変更量管理部102は、図2に示した計算方法により各アンテナの受信電力を用いて計算し、電力変更部12-1~12-nに設定する電力変更量として、各アンテナで送受信する信号の宛先無線端末局ごとの共通電力変更量と、宛先無線端末局ごとかつアンテナごとの個別電力変更量に分けて管理する(S11)。個別電力通知部104は、信号の送受信処理とは別の所定のタイミングで事前設定する個別電力変更量を電力制御部106に通知する(S12)。電力制御部106は、通知された個別電力変更量を記憶部105に記憶する(S13)。また、電力変更量管理部102で個別電力変更量が更新された場合には、再度、個別電力通知部104から電力制御部106に通知され、記憶部105に記憶される。
図5において、無線基地局の信号処理制御部101は、外部のネットワークから宛先無線端末局に送信する信号を入力すると(S21)、当該送信信号の宛先無線端末局を抽出して電力変更量管理部102に通知し、電力変更量管理部102は宛先無線端末局に対応する共通電力変更量を計算して共通電力通知部103に出力する(S22)。共通電力通知部103は、宛先無線端末局に応じた共通電力変更量を電力制御部106に通知する(S23)。電力制御部106は、宛先無線端末局に応じた共通電力変更量と、記憶部105から読み出した宛先無線端末局に応じた個別電力変更量とを加算した電力変更量を算出し、この電力変更量で電力変更部12-1~12-nの電力変更を制御する(S24)。電力変更部12-1~12-nの電力変更完了後に信号を送信する(S25)。
(2) 算出したアンテナごとの電力変更量の平均値または合計値を算出する。
(3) 収集した自局と隣接無線基地局との間におけるRSSI情報から、(2) で算出した平均値または合計値を減算する。
(4) 減算後のRSSI情報を用いて周波数チャネルの割り当てを再決定する。周波数チャネルの決定方法は、RSSIが最小となる方法、最小スループットを最大化させる方法、その他一般的な周波数チャネル割当方法などから選択する。
(5) 再決定した周波数チャネルを各無線基地局に通知する。
