Abstract

A base station BS changes a receive-system band-limiting characteristic in a first communication channel band ΔF1 in accordance with volumes of communication in second and third communication channels ΔF2 and ΔF3. A first mobile station MS1 communicating in the first communication channel band ΔF1 is notified of the changed receive-system band-limiting characteristic. The first mobile station MS1 changes its transmit-system band-limiting characteristic in accordance with the changed receive-system band-limiting characteristic and also changes an operating point of a transmit-system power amplifier 105.
