Abstract
A base station is configured including an internal bus to connect a terminal section, transceivers that perform control and management of information to be transmitted or received and carries out radio communication at a predetermined radio frequency and on a predetermined communication method, and a controller connecting section that executes communication with a base station controller. The transceivers each comprise a transmitter/receiver section that transmits and receives radio waves at a predetermined radio frequency and using a predetermined communication method, and a logical control unit that performs control of the transmitter/receiver section and interference detection. The base station further comprises a high-frequency section that carries out radio communication with mobile stations, and a base station main control unit that collectively controls processing to be conducted in the base station, thereby collectively executing the processing involved in a radio communication with the mobile stations. The base station controller on the other hand collectively performs line communication processing. By distributing necessary functions in this manner, the number of times communication between the base station and the base station controller is carried out is minimized. Thus, a base station system suitable for microcells is provided.
