Abstract
A communication apparatus comprises a generator that generates frequency resource position information corresponding to a first information which is based on the communication quality information received from user equipments, the frequency resource position information indicating validity or invalidity of the first information for each frequency resource, and a transmitter that transmits the first information, the frequency resource position information and a cell ID which the frequency resource position is applied, to another communication apparatus via a backhaul.

An integrated circuit configured to control a communication node, the integrated circuit comprising:
- circuitry, which, in operation, controls:
- receiving Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) measurement reports from one or more User Equipments (UEs) in a cell belonging to the communication node;
- determining a frequency resource position among plural frequency resource positions, wherein the frequency resource position is associated with Coordinated Multi-Point (CoMP) information including a benefit metric indicative of a degree of benefit of CoMP usage ranging from best to worst;
- generating frequency resource position information in a bit map, wherein the frequency resource position is represented by 1 or 0, with 0 indicating the frequency position with no utilization constraints;
- and
- transmitting the CoMP information, the frequency resource position information, and a cell ID of a cell to which the determined frequency resource position belongs, to another communication node to perform inter-eNB CoMP.
