Radio base station, user terminal, radio communication method and radio communication system

Abstract

A radio base station applies non-orthogonal multiple access to a plurality of user terminals and transmits downlink signals, and this radio base station has a scheduling section that selects a user set to apply non-orthogonal multiple access to from candidate user sets, and selects a combination of a modulation and coding scheme and transmission power based on combinations of candidate transmission power. The radio base station includes a control section that decides whether or not the combination of the modulation and coding scheme and transmission power selected in the scheduling section is included in combinations that are stipulated in advance, and controls the scheduling section in accordance with the decision. A transmission section applies the combination of the modulation and coding scheme and transmission power to user terminals that are included in the user set selected in the scheduling section, and transmits the downlink signals.
