Wireless communication device and communication control method

A wireless communication device capable of performing communication with a wireless communication terminal by utilization of a coordinated multiple point transmission/reception and in coordination with another wireless communication device, comprising:

• a traffic calculation section configured to calculate traffic of a wireless communication device of interest;
• a network communication section configured to transmit and receive information showing the traffic of the wireless communication device of interest and information showing traffic of the other wireless communication device;
• and
• a coordinated multiple point transmission/reception control section configured to allow a resource, which is utilized during performance of a communication utilizing the coordinated multiple point transmission/reception technique, to carry out the communication utilizing the coordinated multiple point transmission/reception technique when information pertinent to a resource used in communication utilizing the coordinated multiple point transmission/reception technique is received from the other wireless communication device.

A communication control method that is carried out by a wireless communication device capable of performing a communication with a wireless communication terminal by utilization of coordinated multiple point transmission/reception technique and in coordination with another wireless communication device, the method comprising:

• calculating traffic of a wireless communication device of interest;
• transmitting and receiving information representing traffic of the wireless communication device of interest and traffic of the other wireless communication device;
• and,
• when the traffic of the wireless communication device of interest is higher than traffic of the other wireless communication device while the wireless communication device of interest remains in wireless communication with the wireless communication terminal without utilizing the coordinated multiple point transmission/reception technique,
• making a change to a parameter pertinent to a requirement by means of which there is reported a result of measurement of communication between the wireless communication device and the other wireless communication device made by the wireless communication terminal, such that an area over which the wireless communication terminal performs a communication by utilization of the coordinated multiple point transmission/reception technique becomes wider toward the wireless communication device of interest, and
• making a change such that a resource, among resources allocated to the other wireless communication device, used in communication that utilizes the coordinated multiple point transmission/reception technique becomes greater in proportion.

• calculating traffic of a wireless communication device of interest;
• transmitting and receiving information representing traffic of the wireless communication device of interest and traffic of the other wireless communication device;
• and,
• when the traffic of the other wireless communication device is higher than a predetermined value while the wireless communication device of interest remains connected to the wireless communication terminal in coordination with the other wireless communication device and by utilization of the coordinated multiple point transmission/reception technique,
• making a change to a parameter pertinent to a requirement such that an area over which the wireless communication terminal performs communication by utilization of the coordinated multiple point transmission/reception technique shrinks toward the other wireless communication device, and
• making a change such that, among resources allocated to the other wireless communication device, a resource used in a communication that does not utilize the coordinated multiple point transmission/reception technique becomes greater in proportion.
