Patent ID: 8503295

Claim:
A base station connected to a wired network and a wireless network to setup a call between the wired network and the wireless network at a predetermined quality of service, comprising: a connection control unit: a quality of service information holding unit; and a radio resource management unit, wherein the quality of service information holding unit is configured to: hold a plurality of combinations of quality of service, a set of modulation and coding schemes, and radio resource amounts in association; and hold association information associating one of the combinations with at least one ongoing call that is in communication, wherein the radio resource management unit is configured to: hold information about a plurality of radio resources including radio resources that are assigned to each ongoing call and unassigned radio resources; and calculate an amount of the unassigned radio resources from the information about the unassigned radio resources, and wherein the connection control unit is configured to: select, from the quality of service information holding unit, one or more combinations of the set of modulation and coding schemes and the radio resource amounts that are associated with the quality of service set for a newly incoming call; determine, from the radio resource amounts associated with the one or more selected combinations, one of the radio resource amounts that is equal to or smaller than the amount of the unassigned radio resources; assign, to the newly incoming call, the combination of modulation and coding scheme that is associated with the determined radio resource amount and the quality of service set in the newly incoming call; when every one of the radio resource amounts in the one or more selected combinations exceeds the amount of the unassigned radio resources which is held in the radio resource management unit, reduce the radio resources assigned to the at least one ongoing call without changing the quality of service and assign, to the newly incoming call, an amount of the radio resources released from the ongoing call and the set of modulation and coding scheme that is associated with the amount of the radio resources released from the ongoing call; reduce the radio resources assigned to the at least one ongoing call in the order of the amount of assigned radio resources of each of the ongoing calls without changing the quality of service; calculate a packet size of each ongoing call based on the set quality of service; calculate the amount of radio resources assigned per calculated packet size to each ongoing call; and reduce the radio resources assigned each ongoing call of which the calculated assigned radio resource amount is larger than a predetermined threshold.
