In a radio communication system that simultaneously provides communication
service using a plurality of discontinuous frequency bands, a multi-band
radio communication method according to the present invention is a method
in which a base station constituting the system allocates a band to a
mobile station that requests a communication starting. For example, a
specific receiving unit within the base station extracts control
information concerning a channel state in each of the frequency bands,
and recognizes a frequency band in which the mobile station can receive
information, from a result of the extraction. A channel controller 9
determines, starting from a high frequency band, whether a new traffic
responding to the communication starting request can be allocated in each
frequency band.
