US 10,313,093 B2 · Apparatus for communicating using a frequency band with priority

Abstract

[Object] To enable a frequency band to be used with higher efficiency. [Solution] There is provided an apparatus including: an acquisition unit configured to acquire information regarding a second base station that is a second base station having a coverage area that overlaps a coverage area of a first base station capable of using a frequency band with priority, and is incapable of using the frequency band with priority; and a control unit configured to request the second base station to transmit data destined for a terminal apparatus that accesses the first base station to the terminal apparatus.

Dependent claims

An apparatus comprising:

circuitry disposed in a first base station and configured to
acquire information regarding a second base station that is a second base station having a coverage area that overlaps a coverage area of the first base station capable of using a frequency band with priority, and is incapable of using the frequency band with priority without permission;
permit the second base station to use the frequency band with priority;
and
request the second base station to transmit, using the frequency band with priority, data destined for a terminal apparatus that accesses the first base station to the terminal apparatus,
wherein the second base station is a terminal apparatus operable as a base station.
