1. An apparatus comprising:
- circuitry disposed in a first base station and configured toacquire information regarding a second base station that is a second base station having a coverage area that overlaps a coverage area of the first base station capable of using a frequency band with priority, and is incapable of using the frequency band with priority without permission;
permit the second base station to use the frequency band with priority; and
request the second base station to transmit, using the frequency band with priority, data destined for a terminal apparatus that accesses the first base station to the terminal apparatus,wherein the second base station is a terminal apparatus operable as a base station.

Abstract
[Object] To enable a frequency band to be used with higher efficiency.
[Solution] There is provided an apparatus including: an acquisition unit configured to acquire information regarding a second base station that is a second base station having a coverage area that overlaps a coverage area of a first base station capable of using a frequency band with priority, and is incapable of using the frequency band with priority; and a control unit configured to request the second base station to transmit data destined for a terminal apparatus that accesses the first base station to the terminal apparatus.

14. An apparatus comprising:
-
circuitry disposed in a second base station and configured to; acquire data destined for a terminal apparatus that accesses a first base station capable of using a frequency band with priority when the second base station having a coverage area which overlaps a coverage area of the first base station and incapable of using the frequency band with priority without permission, receives a request to transmit the data to the terminal apparatus using the frequency band with priority; receive permission for the second base station to use the frequency band with priority; and control radio communication of the second base station so that the second base station transmits the data to the terminal apparatus using the frequency band with priority, wherein the second base station is a terminal apparatus operable as a base station.
