1. A communication method of a macro base station, the communication method comprising:
- collecting position information about a micro base station that is mobile and that is served by the macro base station;
predicting a channel between the macro base station and the micro base station based on the position information, using information stored in a channel prediction database that stores information about channels between the macro base station and the micro base station based on possible positions of the micro base station;
transmitting and receiving data between the macro base station and the micro base station based on a state of the predicted channel;
determining whether a traveling path of the micro base station is predictable; and
requesting feedback on information about the channel from the micro base station when the traveling path is determined to be unpredictable.

10. A communication method of a micro base station, the communication method comprising:
-
collecting position information about the micro base station that is mobile and that is served by a macro base station, and reporting about the position information to the macro base station; predicting, by the micro base station, a channel between the macro base station and the micro base station based on the position information, using information stored in a channel prediction database of the micro base station that stores information about channels between the macro base station and the micro base station based on possible positions of the micro base station; transmitting and receiving data between the macro base station and the micro base station based on a state of the predicted channel; determining whether an additional association is needed between a neighbor macro base station and the micro base station based on a capacity required by the micro base station, the state of the channel between the micro base station and the macro base station, and a state of a channel between the micro base station and the neighbor macro base station; and reporting about the position information about the micro base station to the neighbor macro base station when the additional association is determined to be needed. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)

14. A computer-readable storage medium storing program instructions to cause a processor to implement a communication method of a macro base station, the communication method comprising:
-
collecting position information about a micro base station that is mobile and that is served by the macro base station; predicting a channel between the macro base station and the micro base station based on the position information, using information stored in a channel prediction database that stores information about channels between the macro base station and the micro base station based on possible positions of the micro base station; transmitting and receiving data between the macro base station and the micro base station based on a state of the predicted channel; determining whether a traveling path of the micro base station is predictable; and requesting feedback on information about the channel from the micro base station when the traveling path is determined to be unpredictable.
