A content distribution system uses a PtP (point to point) channel
(individual channel) or PtM (point to multi-point) channel (common
channel) as a radio channel of a predetermined type so as to distribute a
broadcast content as communication data to a user terminal as a mobile
station. The user terminal receives the same content distributed from a
broadcast content server by the PtP channel. Here, if the total of the
downlink transmission power of the PtP channel is greater than the
downlink transmission power of the PtM channel when the content is
distributed to the user terminal by the single PtM channel, a base
station or a base station control device judges that the radio channel is
to be switched from the PtP channel to the PtM channel. Similar judgment
is made when switching from the PtM channel to the PtP channel is
performed. Thus, it is possible to switch the radio channel type used for
the broadcast-type service without lowering the use effect of the radio
resources.
