Abstract
In one embodiment, a control unit (3) operates to control, based on at least one condition, utilization of a shared frequency by a base station (1) included in a radio communication system (100). The shared frequency is shared by a plurality of radio systems including the radio communication system (100) and is additionally used by the base station (1) that also uses a licensed frequency licensed to the radio communication system (100). The at least one condition includes that a mobile station (2) communicating with the base station (1) is characterized by a specific attribute. This contributes, for example, to efficient utilization by a base station of a shared frequency (e.g., TVWS) shared by a plurality of radio systems.
