Radio communication system, radio base station apparatus, user terminal and radio communication method

A radio base station apparatus in a radio communication system provided with a plurality of radio base station apparatuses, and a user terminal configured to be able to perform Coordinated Multi-Point (CoMP) transmission/reception with the plurality of radio base station apparatuses, the radio base station comprising:

• a determination section that determines content of channel state information to transmit to a serving cell to perform CoMP transmission as feedback and content of channel state information to transmit to a coordinated cell as feedback such that accuracy of feedback to the serving cell is higher than accuracy of feedback to the coordinated cell;
• and
• a notification section that notifies the user terminal of the content of channel state information,
• wherein, when there is a plurality of options on the content of channel state information to feed back to the coordinated cell, the determination section selects an option of the content of channel state information that maximizes the accuracy of feedback to the coordinated cell.

A user terminal in a radio communication system provided with a plurality of radio base station apparatuses, and the user terminal configured to be able to perform Coordinated Multi-Point (CoMP) transmission/reception with the plurality of radio base station apparatuses, the user terminal comprising:

• a generation section that generates feedback information based on content of channel state information notified from a radio base station apparatus;
• and
• a transmission section that transmits the feedback information to radio base station apparatuses of cells that perform CoMP transmission,
• wherein the content of channel state information is determined such that accuracy of feedback to a serving cell is higher than accuracy of feedback to a coordinated cell, and
• when there is a plurality of options on the content of channel state information to feed back to the coordinated cell, an option of the content of channel state information is selected that maximizes the accuracy of feedback to the coordinated cell.

A radio communication method in a radio communication system provided with a plurality of radio base station apparatuses, and a user terminal configured to be able to perform Coordinated Multi-Point (CoMP) transmission/reception with the plurality of radio base station apparatuses, the radio communication method comprising:

• in a radio base station apparatus, determining content of channel state information to transmit to a serving cell to perform CoMP transmission as feedback and content of channel state information to transmit to a coordinated cell as feedback such that accuracy of feedback to the serving cell is higher than accuracy of feedback to the coordinated cell;
• in the radio base station apparatus, notifying the user terminal of the content of channel state information;
• in the user terminal, generating feedback information based on the content of channel state information notified from the radio base station apparatus;
• and
• in the user terminal, transmitting the feedback information to radio base station apparatuses of cells that perform CoMP transmission,
• wherein in the determining step, when there is a plurality of options on the content of channel state information to feed back to the coordinated cell, the radio base station apparatus selects an option of the content of channel state information that maximizes the accuracy of feedback to the coordinated cell.
