Mobile communication apparatus, map generating apparatus, resource management apparatus and wireless station management apparatus, for use in wireless access system

Abstract

In a wireless communication system, a mobile communication apparatus judges the reception quality available at its current position for direct reception of information transmitted from a fixed wireless station, with the judgement based upon the current position and upon a reception quality map expressing a relationship between reception positions and corresponding reception quality values. If the reception quality at the current position is judged to be sufficient, direct reception is executed, while otherwise, a limitation is placed upon such direct reception, for example by postponing the direct reception until reaching a position at which the reception quality will be sufficient.

         19 . A resource management apparatus comprising:
 a relay information acquisition circuit section configured for acquiring information identifying respective primary mobile communication apparatuses which each are currently receiving information directly from a fixed wireless station located at a fixed terrestrial position and which each are relaying information from the fixed wireless station to at least one secondary mobile communication apparatus; and   an allocation determining circuit section configured for allocating an amount of communication resources to each primary mobile communication apparatus based upon a total number of secondary mobile communication apparatuses which are currently receiving information via the primary mobile communication apparatus.
