Small base station apparatus and method of assigning subbands
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A micro base station apparatus comprising:
- a detection section configured to detect signals from one or more communication terminal apparatuses to a macro base station, the macro base station forming a larger cell than the micro base station apparatus;
a specifying section configured to specify one or more subbands to which the signals from the one or more communication terminal apparatuses to the macro base station are assigned;
a generation section configured to generate an assigning pattern including a predetermined number of subbands by selecting subbands other, than the specified subbands;
an assignment section configured to assign the subbands to a communication terminal apparatus to be connected to the micro base station apparatus based on the assigning pattern.

Abstract
Provided is a small base station apparatus (HeNB), wherein interference between the HeNB and an MeNB can be inhibited, without any exchange of information between the HeNB and the MeNB. In the HeNB (100), which forms a cell smaller than a cell formed by the MeNB, a pattern generation unit (101) generates an assigning pattern of subbands to be assigned to the HeNB (100), from among a plurality of subbands that can be used by the HeNB (100), wherein combinations of subbands are different for each of the frames. An assignment unit (102) assigns subbands to communication terminal apparatuses connected to the HeNB (100), on the basis of the assigning pattern.

6. A method of micro base station comprising:
-
detecting signals from one or more communication terminal apparatuses to a macro base station, the macro base station forming a larger cell than the micro base station apparatus; specifying one or more subbands to which the signals from the one or more communication terminal apparatuses to the macro base station are assigned; generating an assigning pattern including a predetermined number of subbands by selecting subbands other than the specified subbands; and assigning the subbands to a communication terminal apparatus to be connected to the micro base station apparatus based on the assigning pattern.
