Abstract
[Object] To enable interference of directional beams between cells to further decrease. [Solution] Provided is an apparatus including: an acquisition unit that acquires information about a directional beam that is provided from a neighbor base station of a base station, the directional beam serving as an interference source for a terminal apparatus connected to the neighbor base station among a plurality of directional beams which is able to be formed by the base station; and a control unit that decides an operation of the base station regarding transmission of a signal over the directional beam on the basis of the information.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- an acquisition unit that acquires information about a directional beam that is provided from a neighbor base station of a base station, the directional beam serving as an interference source for a terminal apparatus connected to the neighbor base station among a plurality of directional beams which is able to be formed by the base station;
- and
- a control unit that decides an operation of the base station regarding transmission of a signal over the directional beam on the basis of the information.
A method comprising, by a processor:
- acquiring information about a directional beam that is provided from a neighbor base station of a base station, the directional beam serving as an interference source for a terminal apparatus connected to the neighbor base station among a plurality of directional beams which is able to be formed by the base station;
- and
- deciding an operation of the base station regarding transmission of a signal over the directional beam on the basis of the information.
An apparatus comprising:
- a calculation unit that calculates an amount of interference from a reference signal for channel quality measurement transmitted by a neighbor base station of a serving base station;
- a detection unit that detects a radio resource having a small amount of interference from among radio resources to which the reference signal is transmitted;
- and
- a reporting unit that reports the radio resource having a small amount of interference to a base station.
