1. A base station device communicating with a mobile station device in a first cell, the base station device comprising:
- transmitter circuitry that notifies, to the mobile station device by Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, assistance information concerning a frequency of the first cell;
whereinthe assistance information is information on a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) of another cell,the assistance information includes a cell ID, the number of antenna ports for the CRS, and subframe information indicating subframes that are reserved for Multimedia Broadcast multicast service Single Frequency Network (MBSFN), andthe assistance information is used by the mobile station device to mitigate interference caused by the CRS while data demodulation is being performed by the mobile station device.

Abstract
Inter-cell Interference is efficiently mitigated or suppressed in a radio communication system constituting a heterogeneous network. In the radio communication system in which a base station device and a mobile station device communicate with each other, the base station device notifies, to the mobile station device, control information related to a cell-specific reference signal that is specific to a cell ID of another base station device different from the aforesaid base station device, the control information containing information regarding number of ports for the cell-specific reference signal.
