Patent ID: 7272361

Claim:
A method of transmitting a burst signal when the burst signal is transmitted from a transmitting station to a receiving station at a transmission power value and/or transmission rate determined in accordance with a state of a radio channel between said transmitting station and receiving station in a mobile communication system, wherein: it is determined as to whether or not the burst signal is to be transmitted based on a comparison result between a criterion previously determined in accordance with the state of the radio channel and a transmission waiting state of said signal, and the state of the radio channel between the transmitting station and receiving station; the burst signal is transmitted from the transmitting station to the receiving station when it has been determined that the burst signal is to be transmitted; determining that a signal transmission permission criterion is made based on a channel state; and making a modification of the signal transmission permission criterion according to a transmission waiting state, in such a manner that the transmission permission criterion is made easier as the transmission waiting time is longer, while the transmission permission criterion is made more difficult as the transmission waiting time is shorter.
