Abstract

Abstract A mobile communication system using a cellular system in which each of one or more cells is provided with a base radio station, and mobile terminals communicate with the base radio stations. Base radio stations (21, 22 and 23) are connected to a central base station (100) by optical fibers. The central base station is connected to a mobile switching center (50). Each base radio stations is provided with an O/E converter (201) and E/O converter (207). The O/E converter converts a optical signal containing speech signals and a call connection control signal into RF signals. The E/O converter (207) converts RF signals, received from a mobile terminal (11) via an antenna (204), into optical signals and transmitting the optical signals to the central base station. The central base station comprises O/E converters (301-303) for converting optical signals from each base radio station into RF signals; receivers (401-403) for demodulating these RF signals; transmitters (406-408) for converting speech signals and a call connection control signal from the mobile switching center into RF signals; and E/C converters (304-306) for converting these RF signals into optical signals and transmitting the optical signals to a base radio station.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4

Claim 1

Independent Claim 267 words

A mobile communication system with M radio zones using a cellular system consisting of a plurality of mobile terminals, M base radio stations one of which is provided for each cell, a central base station connecting said base radio stations to a mobile switching center, and the mobile switching center connecting said central base station and the public lines, said base radio stations being connected by optical transmission paths to said central base station, wherein each of said M base radio stations comprises: RF signal transceiver means for receiving RF band signals from said mobile terminals, supplying them as first RF signals and transmitting second RF signals to said mobile terminals; first optical signal transmitting means for converting said first RF signals into first optical signals and transmitting them to said central base station; and first optical signal receiving means for converting second optical signals from said central base station into said second RF signals, and said central base station comprises: M second optical signal receiving means, one of which is provided for each of said M base radio stations, for receiving said second optical signals and converting them into third RF signals; receiving means for demodulating said third RF signals and sending out the resultant first demodulated signals to said mobile switching center; transmitting means for receiving signals from said public lines via said mobile switching center and converting the signals into fourth RF signals; and M second optical signal transmitting means, one of which is provided for each of said M base radio stations, for converting said fourth RF signals into said second optical signals.

Claim 2

Dependent Claim 77 words

A mobile communication system, as claimed in Claim 1, wherein each of said M base radio stations is further provided with gain control means, to which said first RF signals are supplied, for generating a gain control signal on the basis of the level of said first RF signals, controlling the gain of said first RF signals on the basis of this gain control signal, and supplying gain-controlled RF signals to said first optical signal transmitting means.

Claim 3

Dependent Claim 46 words

A mobile communication system, as claimed in Claim 2, wherein each of said M base radio stations is further provided with multiplexing means for multiplexing said gain control signal and gain-controlled RF signals, and supplying the resultant multiplexed signals to said first optical signal transmitting means.

Claim 4

Dependent Claim 91 words

A mobile communication system, as claimed Claim 1, 2, or 3, wherein said central base station is provided with N (N > M) said second transmitting means and N said second receiving means, and further comprises: N x M matrix switching means for connecting the outputs of these N second transmitting means and the inputs of said M first optical signal transmitting means; and M x N matrix switching means for connecting the outputs of said M second optical signal receiving means and the inputs of said N second receiving means.
