Abstract
[Object] To provide a mechanism capable of efficiently operating vast millimeter-wave band resources. [Solution] Provided is an apparatus that operates a small cell, the apparatus including: a processing unit configured to improve a downlink quality of a unit frequency band used in the small cell by limiting resources used for downlink transmission.
Claims20
An apparatus that connects to a base station, the apparatus comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to
- receive, from a base station, information for computing an improved downlink quality, the information indicating a difference between an antenna gain of a reference signal and a maximum antenna gain;
- measure a downlink quality of a unit frequency band used by the base station;
- compute, based on the information and the measured downlink quality, a measurement result of the downlink quality;
- and
- report the measurement result to the base station.
