Abstract

A plurality of MTC devices can connect to a base station device efficiently. The base station device allocates first radio resource for allowing transmission of data to, among MTC devices in a predetermined group that transmit data to the base station device using a common application data format, communication devices having a path loss less than a threshold for notification information transmitted from the base station device. The base station device allocates second radio resource for allowing transmission of data to communication devices having the path loss equal to or greater than the threshold. The communication devices having the path loss less than the threshold transmit the data to the base station device using the first radio resource. Each of the communication devices having the path loss equal to or greater than the threshold transmit the data to the base station device using the second radio resource.

First claim

2 . The wireless communication system according to claim 1 , wherein
the base station device transmits a transmission intensity of the predetermined signal and the threshold for the path loss to each of the communication devices in the first group, and each of the communication devices in the first group determines whether the path loss is less than the threshold, using a reception intensity and the transmission intensity of the predetermined signal.

3 . The wireless communication system according to claim 1 , wherein
each of the communication devices in the first group transmits the data to the base station device after transmitting to the base station device a request signal for requesting access to the base station device, and the allocation unit allocates third radio resource for allowing transmission of the request signal, to each of the communication devices having the path loss less than the threshold, and allocates fourth radio resource for allowing transmission of the request signal, to each of the communication device having the path loss equal to or greater than the threshold.

4 . A wireless communication system comprising: a plurality of communication devices each performing machine communication; and a base station device performing wireless communication with the plurality of communication devices,
wherein the plurality of communication devices are divided into communication devices in a first group that transmit data to the base station device using a first application data format and communication devices in a second group that transmit data to the base station device using a second application data format, the base station device includes an allocation unit for allocating first radio resource for allowing transmission of the data to, of the communication devices in the first group, each of communication devices having a distance from the base station device less than a threshold, and for allocating second radio resource for allowing transmission of the data to each of communication devices having the distance equal to or greater than the threshold, each of the communication devices having the distance less than the threshold includes a first transmission unit for transmitting the data using the first radio resource to the base station device, and each of the communication devices having the distance equal to or greater than the threshold includes a second transmission unit for transmitting the data using the second radio resource to the base station device.

5 . The wireless communication system according to claim 4 , wherein
each of the communication devices in the first group transmits, to the base station device, a request signal for requesting access to the base station and positional information representing a position of the communication device, before transmitting the data, the base station device further includes a calculation unit for calculating, for each of the communication devices in the first group, a distance between the communication device and the base station device, based on the positional information, and the allocation unit allocates the first radio resource or the second radio resource to each of the communication devices in the first group, based on the calculated distance.
