Identity control apparatus of a newly installed base station and corresponding identity assignment method

摘要

A newly installed base station apparatus requests a NET-ID control apparatus to assign network IDs. NET-ID search section 204 of the NET-ID control apparatus searches unused network IDs based on the content of NET-ID control table 205 that stores communication networks in correspondence with network IDs. NET-ID selection section 206 selects one of the searched network IDs, notifies the network ID to the base station apparatus and updates the content of NET-ID control table 205. This prevents network IDs from colliding with network IDs of adjacent networks.
