Patent ID: 8565172

Claim:
A radio control apparatus used in a CDMA communication system where each radio slot has a plurality of short slots and allowing a plurality of radio mobile stations connected to a radio base station apparatus and using a single channelization code to share the same radio slot by allocating different short slots to the plurality of radio mobile stations for communication with the radio base station apparatus, the radio control apparatus comprising: short slot storage means for storing a usage status of a short slot allocated to a radio link between a first radio mobile station and the radio base station apparatus; short slot selection means for selecting an unoccupied short slot for a radio link between a second radio mobile station and the radio base station apparatus, in accordance with the usage status stored in the short slot storage means; transmission timing determination means for randomly determining the radio transmission timing of radio frames used for communication between the second radio mobile station and the radio base station apparatus, in accordance with the short slot selected by the short slot selection means, such that the timing is not the same as the radio transmission timing of radio frames used for communication between the first radio mobile station and the radio base station apparatus, wherein the radio transmission timing is a time lag between the reference timing of the cell formed by the radio base station apparatus and the start timing of a series of radio frames destined for a radio mobile station, and each of the plurality of short slots being associated with a different radio transmission timing; and radio transmission timing storage means for storing, for respective short slots, different formulae for determining candidate radio transmission timings of radio frames; wherein the transmission timing determination means obtains from the radio transmission timing storage means a formula corresponding to the short slot selected for the radio link between the second radio mobile station and the radio base station apparatus by the short slot selection means and randomly determines the radio transmission timing of the radio frames used for communication between the second radio mobile station and the radio base station apparatus by using the obtained formula.
