Abstract

A radio communication system and a traffic channel assignment method for realizing the assignment of traffic channels capable of improving the efficiency of use of frequency in the case where the traffic density is high and improving a radio link quality in the case where the traffic density is low. A base station judges the traffic density from a carrier to interference power ratio (CIR) on each channel capable of being selected as a traffic channel. In the case where the traffic density is low, a traffic channel assignment mode selecting an available channel having a greater CIR is assigned as a traffic channel to a mobile station. In the case where the traffic density is high, a traffic channel assignment mode selecting an available channel having a smaller CIR is assigned as a traffic channel to the mobile station. Thereby, it is possible to structure a radio communication system which can cope with the condition of the traffic density of the neighborhood.
