Patent ID: 7848467

Claim:
A signal processing system for processing signals received from mobile stations and signals transmitted to the mobile stations in a wireless mobile communication system, comprising: a plurality of transmission/reception devices each of which transmits and receives radio frequency signals of a plurality of mobile stations; and a plurality of signal processing devices configured to process signals received and transmitted from and to the plurality of mobile stations, wherein each of the transmission/reception devices comprises: an interface configured to transmit and receive base band signals to and from each of the plurality of signal processing devices via a communication network; and a first change device configured to change a connection destination to and from which base band signals of a target mobile station are transmitted and received, from a first signal processing device to a second signal processing device among the plurality of signal processing devices, each of the plurality of signal processing devices comprises: an interface configured to transmit and receive, via a communication network, base band signals to and from the plurality of transmission/reception devices; a base band signal processing device configured to execute base band signal processes of a plurality of channels; a second change device configured to change a connection destination to and from which process target base band signals are transmitted and received, from a first transmission/reception device to a second transmission/reception device among the plurality of transmission/reception devices; and a surveillance device configured to monitor an amount of used channel resource of the base band signal processing device, and to output an alarm when a ratio of a remaining channel resource amount to a capacity of entire channel resource becomes lower than a prescribed value, the surveillance device calculates an estimated time period before the ratio of the remaining channel resource amount reaches a specific value when the ratio of the remaining channel resource amount becomes lower than the prescribed value, and outputs the alarm when the estimated time period is longer than a time period required for changing the connection destination and is shorter than a prescribed time period, and the second change device changes the connection destination to and from which the process target base band signals are transmitted and received when the alarm is output.
