RADIO NETWORK CONTROLLER AND CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT METHOD BY THE SAME

摘要

An RNC(Radio Network Controller) and a channel assignment method by the same are provided to offer a technique of making it possible to shorten a time taken by channel switching and a technique of enabling simplification of a channel switching procedure. A channel assignment method by an RNC(Radio Network Controller) comprises the following several steps. An individual channel resource is secured in advance before channel switching from a common channel to an individual channel is carried out(S1102). The secured individual channel resource is held(S1104). The presence of the held individual channel resource is confirmed at the time of execution of the channel switching from a common channel to an individual channel(S1106). The channel switching using the individual channel resource is performed(S1108).
