Abstract

A base station for a multi-carrier TDMA radio communication system comprises a first management table for registering at least one candidate channel for single-channel communication selected from among multiple traffic channels each defined in terms of the carrier frequency and time slot number, a second management table for registering at least one group of candidate channels for multi-channel communication selected from among the multiple traffic channels, and a channel assigning unit which, in response to the reception of a channel assignment request from a mobile station, assigns at least one traffic channel to the requesting mobile station by making reference to one of the first and second management tables depending on the type of the mobile station.
