Description

本発明は、時分割通信方式で無線通信を行う複数の無線基地局を含む無線通信システム、この無線通信システムにおいて実行される無線同期方法、及びこの無線通信システムを構成する無線基地局に関し、特に、無線通信システムを構成する複数の無線基地局(単に「基地局」とも言う。)が同期を確立する技術に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a radio communication system including a plurality of radio base stations that perform radio communication in a time division communication system, a radio synchronization method executed in the radio communication system, and a radio base station constituting the radio communication system, in particular. The present invention relates to a technique for establishing synchronization among a plurality of radio base stations (also simply referred to as “base stations”) constituting a radio communication system.

時分割多元接続/時分割複信(TDMA/TDD)方式による無線通信システム(例えば、携帯電話システム、コードレス電話システム等)においては、各周波数における利用効率を高めるために、複数の基地局間で同期する必要がある。同期方法としては、各基地局が、同期の基準となる基準基地局が発信する報知信号を受信し、受信した報知信号を元に、基準基地局と干渉しないように位相を調整する方法がある(例えば、特許文献1参照)。基準基地局は、例えば、GPS、又は、公衆網の基地局(「公衆網基地局」とも言う。)である。   In a radio communication system using a time division multiple access / time division duplex (TDMA / TDD) system (for example, a mobile phone system, a cordless phone system, etc.) Need to synchronize. As a synchronization method, there is a method in which each base station receives a notification signal transmitted from a reference base station serving as a reference for synchronization, and adjusts the phase based on the received notification signal so as not to interfere with the reference base station. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1). The reference base station is, for example, a GPS or a public network base station (also referred to as a “public network base station”).

図1は、本発明の第1の実施形態に係る無線通信システム100(すなわち、第1の実施形態に係る無線同期方法を実施することができるシステム)と複数の公衆網基地局2_1,…,2_m(mは、2以上の正の整数)とを示す図である。図1に示されるように、無線通信システム100は、TDM又はTDDのような時分割通信方式で無線通信を行う複数の基地局1_1,…,1_n(nは、2以上の正の整数)を含むシステムであり、例えば、屋内無線通信システムである。
First Embodiment FIG. 1 shows a radio communication system 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention (that is, a system that can implement the radio synchronization method according to the first embodiment) and a plurality of public network bases. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating stations 2_1,..., 2_m (m is a positive integer of 2 or more). As shown in FIG. 1, a radio communication system 100 includes a plurality of base stations 1_1,..., 1_n (n is a positive integer of 2 or more) that performs radio communication using a time division communication method such as TDM or TDD. For example, an indoor wireless communication system.

複数の基地局1_1,…,1_nの各々は、これらの複数の基地局1_1,…,1_nと無線通信可能な複数の公衆網基地局2_1,…,2_mのいずれかに同期する。各基地局と公衆無線基地局は、一意のIDとして、例えば、001,…,006を有する。例えば、複数の基地局1_1,…,1_nの各々は、複数の公衆網基地局2_1,…,2_mが発信する報知信号(「公衆網報知信号」とも言う。)を直接受信することによって、又は、複数の基地局1_1,…,1_nの内の自局以外の基地局であって複数の公衆網基地局2_1,…,2_mのいずれかに同期した基地局が発信する報知信号を受信することによって、複数の公衆網基地局2_1,…,2_mのいずれかに同期する。   Each of the plurality of base stations 1_1, ..., 1_n is synchronized with one of the plurality of public network base stations 2_1, ..., 2_m capable of wireless communication with the plurality of base stations 1_1, ..., 1_n. Each base station and public radio base station have, for example, 001,. For example, each of the plurality of base stations 1_1,..., 1_n directly receives notification signals (also referred to as “public network notification signals”) transmitted by the plurality of public network base stations 2_1,. , Receiving a broadcast signal transmitted by a base station other than the own base station among the plurality of base stations 1_1,..., 1_n and synchronized with one of the plurality of public network base stations 2_1,. To synchronize with one of the plurality of public network base stations 2_1,..., 2_m.

第1の実施形態に係る無線通信システム100においては、複数の基地局1_1,…,1_nの各々が、同期限界距離を越えた位置にある公衆網基地局に同期してしまうことがあり得る。この場合、同期限界距離を越えた位置にある公衆網基地局に同期した基地局(1_1,…,1_nのいずれか)は、同期限界距離内にある公衆網基地局や、同期限界距離内にある公衆網基地局に同期している基地局と干渉を起こすことになる。このような干渉の発生を減少させるために、第1の実施形態に係る無線通信システム100においては、複数の公衆網基地局のいずれかに同期した複数の基地局1_1,…,1_nの各々が、以下のような同期制御を実行する。   In the wireless communication system 100 according to the first embodiment, each of the plurality of base stations 1_1,..., 1_n may be synchronized with the public network base station located at a position exceeding the synchronization limit distance. In this case, a base station (any one of 1_1,..., 1_n) synchronized with the public network base station at a position beyond the synchronization limit distance is within the public network base station within the synchronization limit distance or within the synchronization limit distance. It will cause interference with a base station synchronized with a certain public network base station. In order to reduce the occurrence of such interference, in the wireless communication system 100 according to the first embodiment, each of the plurality of base stations 1_1,..., 1_n synchronized with any of the plurality of public network base stations The following synchronous control is executed.

まず、複数の公衆網基地局のいずれかに同期した複数の基地局1_1,…,1_nの各々は、複数の基地局1_1,…,1_nの内の自局以外の基地局が発信する報知信号を受信し、完全な形で受信できた報知信号を発信した基地局の数を示す第1の基地局数と、完全な形で受信できなかった報知信号を発信した基地局の数を示す第2の基地局数とを検出し、第1の基地局数と第2の基地局数とを比較する。   First, each of the plurality of base stations 1_1,..., 1_n synchronized with any of the plurality of public network base stations is notified by a base station other than the own station among the plurality of base stations 1_1,. The first base station number indicating the number of base stations that have transmitted the broadcast signal that has been received in a complete form, and the first number indicating the number of base stations that have transmitted a broadcast signal that has not been received in a complete form 2 base station numbers are detected, and the first base station number and the second base station number are compared.

次に、複数の基地局1_1,…,1_nの内の、第2の基地局数が第1の基地局数より多いと判定した基地局は、該判定時に同期していた公衆網基地局との同期を中止し、該同期を中止した公衆網基地局以外の公衆網基地局に同期する。また、複数の基地局1_1,…,1_nの内の、第2の基地局数が第1の基地局数以下である判定した基地局は、該判定時に同期していた公衆網基地局との同期を継続する。   Next, of the plurality of base stations 1_1,..., 1_n, the base station that has determined that the second base station number is greater than the first base station number is the public network base station that was synchronized at the time of the determination. Synchronization is stopped, and synchronization is performed with a public network base station other than the public network base station that has stopped the synchronization. In addition, the determined base station of the plurality of base stations 1_1,..., 1_n having the second base station number equal to or less than the first base station number is the same as the public network base station synchronized at the time of the determination. Continue synchronization.

複数の基地局1_1,…,1_nの内の、第2の基地局数が第1の基地局数より多いと判定した基地局は、同期を中止した公衆網基地局を同期不可能な公衆網基地局としてデータベース手段に記録して、そのとき以降に、同期不可能な公衆網基地局しないようにすることが望ましい。   Of the plurality of base stations 1_1,..., 1_n, the base station that has determined that the second base station number is greater than the first base station number is a public network that cannot synchronize the public network base station that has stopped synchronization. It is desirable to record the data in the database means as a base station so that no public network base station that cannot be synchronized thereafter will be used.

図2は、第1の実施形態に係る無線通信システム100を構成する基地局1(基地局1_1,…,1_nのいずれか一つ)の内部構成を概略的に示すブロック図である。図2に示されるように、基地局1は、無線信号を受信する無線受信部11と、受信した無線信号に含まれる報知信号から報知情報を取得する報知情報検出部12と、同期先である基準基地局(例えば、公衆網基地局又は公衆網基地局に同期した基地局)との信号の位相差異を補正することによって同期先に同期する位相調整部13と、同期先を決定する従属同期判別部14とを有している。また、基地局1は、報知情報から基地局情報や報知情報の毀損の有無を検出し、検知可能な基地局が同期しているかどうかを判別する同期可否判別部15と、接続不可能な基地局をリストで登録する接続可否データベース(DB)16と、無線通信の制御を実施する無線制御部17と、無線信号を送信する無線送信部18とを有している。   FIG. 2 is a block diagram schematically showing an internal configuration of the base station 1 (any one of the base stations 1_1,..., 1_n) constituting the wireless communication system 100 according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the base station 1 is a wireless receiver 11 that receives a radio signal, a broadcast information detector 12 that acquires broadcast information from a broadcast signal included in the received radio signal, and a synchronization destination.

Further, the base station 1 detects whether the base station information and the broadcast information are damaged from the broadcast information, and determines whether or not the detectable base station is synchronized, and a base that cannot be connected It has a connectability database (DB) 16 for registering stations in a list, a radio control unit 17 that controls radio communication, and a radio transmission unit 18 that transmits radio signals.

The phase adjustment unit 13 and the dependent synchronization determination unit 14 operate as a synchronization unit 20 that determines a synchronization destination of the base station 1 and synchronizes the base station 1 to the synchronization destination.

また、同期可否判別部15は、報知信号を完全な形で受信できた報知信号を発信した基地局の数を示す第1の基地局数と、完全な形で受信できなかった報知信号を発信した基地局の数を示す第2の基地局数とを検出し、第1の基地局数と第2の基地局数とを比較する比較手段としての機能を有する。また、同期可否判別部15は、第2の基地局数が第1の基地局数より多いと判定したときに、同期手段20に、該判定時に同期していた公衆網基地局との同期を中止し、該同期を中止した公衆網基地局以外の公衆網基地局に同期させ、また、第2の基地局数が第1の基地局数以下である判定したときに、同期手段20に、該判定時に同期していた公衆網基地局との同期を継続させる制御手段としての機能を有する。   In addition, the synchronization availability determination unit 15 transmits the first base station number indicating the number of base stations that have transmitted the broadcast signal that has been received in a complete form and the broadcast signal that has not been received in a complete form. The second base station number indicating the number of base stations that have been detected is detected, and a function as comparison means for comparing the first base station number with the second base station number is provided. Further, when it is determined that the second base station number is larger than the first base station number, the synchronization availability determination unit 15 causes the synchronization unit 20 to synchronize with the public network base station synchronized at the time of the determination. Canceling, synchronizing to a public network base station other than the public network base station that stopped the synchronization, and when determining that the second base station number is less than or equal to the first base station number, It has a function as a control means for continuing the synchronization with the public network base station synchronized at the time of the determination.

As shown in FIG. 3, the public network base station 2 includes a broadcast information transmitting unit 21 that transmits broadcast information (public network broadcast signal), a broadcast information receiving unit 22 that receives broadcast signals, and a synchronization clock for the entire system. A synchronous clock receiving unit 23 that receives a signal, a phase adjusting unit 24 that adjusts the phase of a wireless signal in accordance with the synchronous clock signal, a receiving unit 25 that receives a wireless signal, and a transmitting unit 26 that transmits a wireless signal. Have.

図4は、図2に示される基地局1の同期可否判別部15において、同期の可否判断に使用されるテーブルの一例を示す図である。図4に示されるように、同期可否判別部15は、受信可能な各基地局の無線信号において、完全な形で受信できた報知信号を発信した基地局を自局と同期している基地局であると判断し(図4において、「○」印で示す)、完全な形で受信できなかった報知信号を発信した基地局を自局と同期していない基地局であると判断する(図4において、「×」印で示す)。図4には、このような判断結果の一例がテーブルとして示されている。なお、図4における基地局IDの具体例と、図1に示される基地局IDの具体例とは、対応していない。   FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a table used for determining whether synchronization is possible in the synchronization availability determination unit 15 of the base station 1 illustrated in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, in the radio signal of each receivable base station, the synchronization availability determination unit 15 synchronizes the base station that has transmitted the broadcast signal that has been received in a complete form with the base station. (Indicated by “◯” in FIG. 4), it is determined that the base station that transmitted the notification signal that could not be received in a complete form is a base station that is not synchronized with the own station (FIG. 4). (Indicated by “x” in FIG. 4). FIG. 4 shows an example of such a determination result as a table. Note that the specific example of the base station ID in FIG. 4 does not correspond to the specific example of the base station ID shown in FIG.

図5は、第1の実施形態に係る無線通信システム100の動作を示す説明図である。例えば、屋内システム環境に設置された基地局1_1,…,1_nは、基準基地局の無線信号を検知して同期する。基準基地局としては、例えば、GPSなどのクロック供給システムを実装した基地局、又は、公衆網基地局を使用することができる。同期に際しては、各基地局から間欠的に送信される報知信号を元に、自局の同期先を決定し、自局の送信信号の位相を調整することで同期を行う。報知信号に基づいて同期する方法は、既知の技術であり、例えば、上記特許文献1に記載されている。   FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an operation of the wireless communication system 100 according to the first embodiment. For example, the base stations 1_1,..., 1_n installed in the indoor system environment detect and synchronize with the radio signal of the reference base station. As the reference base station, for example, a base station mounted with a clock supply system such as GPS or a public network base station can be used. At the time of synchronization, synchronization is performed by determining the synchronization destination of the local station based on the notification signal transmitted intermittently from each base station and adjusting the phase of the transmission signal of the local station. The method of synchronizing based on the notification signal is a known technique and is described in, for example, Patent Document 1 described above.

図5に示されるように、屋内システム環境に設置された基地局1_1,…,1_nは、基準基地局として、公衆網基地局2_1,…,2_mを優先的に選択して同期する(ステップS1、S2、S3、S5)。公衆網基地局からの電波強度が十分でなく、同期できない基地局(例えば、基地局1_3)については公衆網基地局に同期した基地局(例えば、基地局1_4)に同期するよう動作する(ステップS4)。ここで、基地局1_1が、同期可能距離を越えた位置にある公衆網基地局2_1を検知した場合、公衆網基地局2一1に同期するよう動作するが(ステップS5)、同期後に周囲の基地局(例えば、基地局1_2,…,1_n)との同期状況を計測し、報知信号を完全な形で受信できた報知信号を発信した基地局の数を示す第1の基地局数と、完全な形で受信できなかった報知信号を発信した基地局の数を示す第2の基地局数とを検出し、第1の基地局数と第2の基地局数とを比較する。そして、基地局1_1は、第2の基地局数が第1の基地局数より多いと判定したときには、該判定時に同期していた公衆網基地局との同期を中止(切断)し、該同期を中止した公衆網基地局以外の公衆網基地局に同期させ、同期を注しした公衆網基地局を接続可否DB16に接続禁止する旨登録して、他の基地局に接続するよう動作する(ステップS6)。また、基地局1_1は、第2の基地局数が第1の基地局数以下である判定したときに、該判定時に同期していた公衆網基地局との同期を継続させる。   As shown in FIG. 5, base stations 1_1,..., 1_n installed in an indoor system environment preferentially select public network base stations 2_1,. , S2, S3, S5). For a base station (for example, base station 1_3) that has insufficient radio field intensity from the public network base station and cannot be synchronized, it operates to synchronize with a base station (for example, base station 1_4) synchronized with the public network base station (step 1). S4). Here, when the base station 1_1 detects the public network base station 2_1 located beyond the synchronizable distance, the base station 1_1 operates to synchronize with the public network base station 2-11 (step S5). A first base station number that indicates the number of base stations that have transmitted a broadcast signal that has received a broadcast signal in a complete form by measuring a synchronization situation with a base station (for example, base station 1_2, ..., 1_n); A second base station number indicating the number of base stations that have transmitted a broadcast signal that could not be received in a complete form is detected, and the first base station number and the second base station number are compared. When the base station 1_1 determines that the number of second base stations is greater than the number of first base stations, the base station 1_1 stops (disconnects) synchronization with the public network base station synchronized with the determination, and It is synchronized with a public network base station other than the public network base station that has been canceled, and the public network base station to which synchronization has been applied is registered to prohibit connection to the connectability DB 16 and operates to connect to another base station ( Step S6). Further, when the base station 1_1 determines that the second base station number is equal to or less than the first base station number, the base station 1_1 continues to synchronize with the public network base station synchronized at the time of the determination.

図6は、第1の実施形態に係る無線通信システム100を構成する基地局が同期の可否を判別するシーケンス(すなわち、第1の実施形態に係る無線同期方法)を示すフローチャートである。図6に示されるように、基地局1において同期先変更のトリガが発生したとき(ステップS11)、基地局1は、各受信スロットで報知信号を受信する(ステップS12)。基地局1は、受信した報知信号を元に同期先を決定し、同期先に同期する(ステップS13)。同期に成功した後、基地局1は、各受信スロットで報知信号を受信し、
同期後に周囲の基地局(例えば、基地局1_2,…,1_n)との同期状況を計測し、報知信号を完全な形で受信できた報知信号を発信した基地局の数を示す第1の基地局数と、完全な形で受信できなかった報知信号を発信した基地局の数を示す第2の基地局数とを検出し、第1の基地局数と第2の基地局数とを比較する(ステップS14)。そして、基地局1は、第2の基地局数が第1の基地局数より多いと判定したときには、自局が同期ズレを起していると判断して、該判定時に同期していた公衆網基地局との同期を中止(切断)し、該同期を中止した公衆網基地局以外の公衆網基地局に同期させ、同期を中止した公衆網基地局を接続可否DB16に接続禁止する旨登録して(ステップS15)、再度同期先を検索するよう動作する。また、基地局1は、第2の基地局数が第1の基地局数以下である判定したときには、自局は同期ズレを起していないと判断して、該判定時に同期していた公衆網基地局との同期を継続させ、通常動作に移行する(ステップS16)。
FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a sequence (that is, a wireless synchronization method according to the first embodiment) in which the base stations configuring the wireless communication system 100 according to the first embodiment determine whether synchronization is possible. As shown in FIG. 6, when a trigger for changing the synchronization destination occurs in the base station 1 (step S11), the base station 1 receives a broadcast signal in each reception slot (step S12). The base station 1 determines a synchronization destination based on the received notification signal, and synchronizes with the synchronization destination (step S13). After successful synchronization, the base station 1 receives a broadcast signal in each reception slot,
1st base which shows the number of base stations which measured the synchronous condition with the surrounding base stations (for example, base station 1_2, ..., 1_n) after synchronization, and transmitted the alerting signal which has received the alerting signal in a complete form Detect the number of stations and the number of second base stations indicating the number of base stations that have transmitted broadcast signals that could not be received in a complete form, and compare the number of first base stations with the number of second base stations (Step S14). When the base station 1 determines that the number of second base stations is greater than the number of first base stations, the base station 1 determines that the own station has caused a synchronization shift, and the public that has been synchronized at the time of the determination. Registers that the synchronization with the network base station is canceled (disconnected), synchronized with a public network base station other than the public network base station that has stopped the synchronization, and the public network base station that has stopped the synchronization is prohibited from being connected to the connectability DB 16 (Step S15), the operation of searching for the synchronization destination again is performed. Further, when the base station 1 determines that the number of second base stations is equal to or less than the number of first base stations, the base station 1 determines that the own station has not caused a synchronization shift, and has synchronized with the public at the time of the determination. The synchronization with the network base station is continued and the normal operation is performed (step S16).

以上に説明したように、第1の実施形態に係る無線同期方法、無線通信システム100、及び無線基地局(基地局1)によれば、報知信号を検出し、報知信号情報から周囲の基地局が自局と同期しているかを判別し、この判別結果(第1の基地局数と第2の基地局数との比較結果)に基づいて、自局の同期先が同期ズレを起こしているかを判別して、同期先を変更し、及び、不適切な基地局を接続禁止できるよう接続可否DBに記録にする。このため、同期ズレを引き起こすような不適切な基地局に同期することを防止することができる。その結果、時分割通信方式の無線通信における基地局間の干渉の発生を低減できるので、無線通信システム100におけるチャネル利用効率を向上させることができる。   As described above, according to the wireless synchronization method, the wireless communication system 100, and the wireless base station (base station 1) according to the first embodiment, a broadcast signal is detected and surrounding base stations are detected from the broadcast signal information. Is synchronized with its own station, and based on this determination result (comparison result between the number of first base stations and the number of second base stations), whether the synchronization destination of the own station has caused a synchronization shift , Change the synchronization destination, and record in the connectability DB so that connection of inappropriate base stations can be prohibited. For this reason, it is possible to prevent synchronization with an inappropriate base station that causes synchronization shift. As a result, the occurrence of interference between base stations in time division communication wireless communication can be reduced, and channel utilization efficiency in the wireless communication system 100 can be improved.

Second Embodiment FIG. 7 is a block diagram schematically showing an internal configuration of a base station 1a constituting a radio communication system according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 7, the same or corresponding elements as those shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, the base station 1a is a synchronization destination, a wireless reception unit 11 that receives a wireless signal, a notification information detection unit 12 that acquires notification information from a notification signal included in the received wireless signal, and A phase adjustment unit 13 that synchronizes with a synchronization destination by correcting a phase difference of a signal with a reference base station (for example, a public network base station or a base station synchronized with the public network base station), and dependent synchronization that determines a synchronization destination And a determination unit 14. Further, the base station 1 detects whether the base station information and the broadcast information are damaged from the broadcast information, and determines whether or not the detectable base station is synchronized, and a base that cannot be connected A connection availability database (DB) 16 for registering stations in a list, a radio control unit 17 for controlling radio communication, a radio transmission unit 18 for transmitting radio signals, and a subordinate synchronization destination recording unit for recording subordinate synchronization destinations 19. The phase adjustment unit 13, the dependent synchronization determination unit 14, and the dependent synchronization destination recording unit 19 operate as synchronization means 20a that determines the synchronization destination of the base station 1a and synchronizes the base station 1a with the synchronization destination.

第2の実施形態に係る無線通信システムを構成する無線基地局1aは、第2の基地局数が第1の基地局数以下であると判定して、同期を継続した公衆網基地局を元の同期先として第2のデータベース手段としての従属同期先記録部19に記録する。その後、無線基地局1aは、第2の基地局数が第1の基地局数より多いと判定して、該判定時に同期していた公衆網基地局との同期を中止し、該同期を中止した公衆網基地局以外の公衆網基地局に同期する際に、従属同期先記録部19に記録されている元の同期先の公衆網基地局に同期する。   The radio base station 1a configuring the radio communication system according to the second embodiment determines that the number of second base stations is equal to or less than the number of first base stations, and uses a public network base station that has continued synchronization as a source. Is recorded in the dependent synchronization destination recording unit 19 as the second database means. Thereafter, the radio base station 1a determines that the number of second base stations is greater than the number of first base stations, stops synchronization with the public network base station synchronized at the time of determination, and cancels the synchronization. When synchronizing with a public network base station other than the public network base station, it synchronizes with the original synchronization destination public network base station recorded in the subordinate synchronization destination recording unit 19.

図8は、第2の実施形態に係る無線通信システムを構成する基地局が同期の可否を判別するシーケンス(すなわち、第2の実施形態に係る無線同期方法)を示すフローチャートである。図8に示されるように、基地局1aにおいて同期先変更のトリガが発生したとき(ステップS21)、基地局1aは現在従属同期していた基地局のIDを従属同期先記録部19に記録する(ステップS22)。基地局1aは、各受信スロットで報知信号を受信する(ステップS23)。基地局1aは、受信した報知信号を元に同期先を決定し、同期処理を実施する(ステップS24)。同期に成功した後、基地局1aは各受信スロットで報知信号を受信し、各基地局が同期しているかどうかを検証する。基地局1aは、各受信スロットで報知信号を受信し、同期後に周囲の基地局との同期状況を計測し、報知信号を完全な形で受信できた報知信号を発信した基地局の数を示す第1の基地局数と、完全な形で受信できなかった報知信号を発信した基地局の数を示す第2の基地局数とを検出し、第1の基地局数と第2の基地局数とを比較する(ステップS25)。そして、基地局1aは、第2の基地局数が第1の基地局数より多いと判定したときには、自局が同期ズレを起していると判断して、該判定時に同期していた公衆網基地局との同期を中止(切断)し、該同期を中止した公衆網基地局以外の公衆網基地局に同期させ、同期を中止した公衆網基地局を接続可否DB16に接続禁止する旨登録して(ステップS26)、前回従属同期していた基地局に同期するよう動作する(ステップS27)。また、基地局1aは、第2の基地局数が第1の基地局数以下である判定したときには、自局は同期ズレを起していないと判断して、該判定時に同期していた公衆網基地局との同期を継続させ、通常動作に移行する(ステップS28)。   FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a sequence (that is, a radio synchronization method according to the second embodiment) in which the base stations configuring the radio communication system according to the second embodiment determine whether synchronization is possible. As shown in FIG. 8, when a trigger for changing the synchronization destination occurs in the base station 1a (step S21), the base station 1a records the ID of the base station that is currently dependently synchronized in the dependent synchronization destination recording unit 19. (Step S22). The base station 1a receives the broadcast signal in each reception slot (step S23). The base station 1a determines a synchronization destination based on the received notification signal, and performs synchronization processing (step S24). After the synchronization is successful, the base station 1a receives the broadcast signal in each reception slot and verifies whether the base stations are synchronized. The base station 1a receives the broadcast signal in each reception slot, measures the synchronization status with the surrounding base stations after synchronization, and indicates the number of base stations that have transmitted the broadcast signal that has been received in a complete form. The number of first base stations and the number of second base stations indicating the number of base stations that have transmitted broadcast signals that could not be received in a complete form are detected, and the number of first base stations and the second base station are detected. The number is compared (step S25). When the base station 1a determines that the number of second base stations is greater than the number of first base stations, the base station 1a determines that the own station has caused a synchronization shift, and has synchronized with the public at the time of the determination. Cancels (disconnects) the synchronization with the network base station, synchronizes with the public network base station other than the public network base station that canceled the synchronization, and registers that the public network base station whose synchronization has been stopped is prohibited from being connected to the connectability DB 16 Then (step S26), the operation is performed so as to synchronize with the base station that was previously dependently synchronized (step S27). Further, when the base station 1a determines that the number of second base stations is equal to or less than the number of first base stations, the base station 1a determines that the own station has not caused a synchronization shift, and has synchronized with the public at the time of the determination. The synchronization with the network base station is continued and the normal operation is performed (step S28).
