Patent ID: 7899459

Claim:
A call admission control device in a communication system which transmits a packet to a plurality of mobile stations classified into a plurality of priority classes m, where m is a subscript for a priority class, the call admission control device comprising: priority class mobile station number calculation means for calculating, when a new mobile station having a priority class m new is starting communication in a cell, a number Num m of mobile stations for each of the plurality of priority classes m, the mobile stations having the plurality of priority classes and performing communication in the cell; first threshold value setting means for setting a first threshold value Th m (1) , which is a positive integer and which is any one of a fixed value and a value adaptively controlled depending on a transmission power allocatable to a downlink, for each of the plurality of priority classes m; second threshold value setting means for setting a second threshold value Th m (2) , which is a positive integer and which is any one of a fixed value and a value adaptively controlled depending on the transmission power allocatable to the downlink, for each of the plurality of priority classes m; weight coefficient setting means for setting a weight coefficient Weight m for each of the plurality of priority classes m, so that a high weight coefficient is set for a high priority class and a low weight coefficient is set for a low priority class, or a low weight coefficient is set for the high priority class and a high weight coefficient is set for the low priority class; a first call number judgment unit that receives the number Num m of the mobile stations, which belong to the plurality of priority classes m for each priority class m, and which have already started communication from the priority class mobile station number calculation means, and the first threshold value Th m (1) from the first threshold value setting means, and determines whether or not the communication of the new mobile station is admitted; a second call number judgment unit that receives the number Num m of the mobile stations, which belong to the plurality of priority classes m for each priority class m, and which have already started communication from the priority class mobile station number calculation means, the second threshold value Th m (2) from the second threshold value setting means, and the weight coefficient Weight m for each of the plurality of priority classes m from the weight coefficient setting means, and determines whether or not the communication of the new mobile station is admitted; and new mobile station admission means for admitting the communication by the new mobile station, only when the first call number judgment unit determines that Num m — new <Th m-new (1) , where new is a subscript for m, is true and the second call number judgment unit determines that Σ(Num m ×Weight m )+Weight m — new ≦Th m-new (2) is true, where new is a subscript for m, Σ is a total of all values of m, and Weight is a numeric value.
