Patent ID: 7499734

Claim:
A mobile radio communications method in a mobile radio communications system which includes a mobile radio terminal device having a radio communications function, a base station for transmitting data to, and receiving data from, the mobile radio terminal device by radio communications, and a base station controlling equipment for communicating with the mobile radio terminal device by controlling the base station, the method comprising: detecting remaining capacity of electricity in a battery of the mobile radio-terminal device; creating data on the detected remaining capacity of electricity in the battery when it becomes lower than a predetermined threshold valued during communication, and transmitting the data from the mobile radio terminal device to the base station controlling equipment; calculating a maximum data transmission rate allowed to continue the communication by the remaining amount of battery capacity of the mobile radio terminal device based on the data having been received at the base station controlling equipment; comparing, in the base station controlling equipment, the data transmission rate used in the current communication with the calculated maximum data transmission rate and calculating a necessary data transmission rate to be decreased, by referring to reference data which provides correspondence between the remaining amount of the battery and data transmission rate to be reduced, when the data transmission rate used in the current communication exceeds the calculated maximum data transmission rate; and decreasing, in the base station controlling equipment, the data transmission rate in the down-link used in the current communication with the mobile radio terminal device by the calculated necessary data transmission rate to be decreased.
