Abstract
Provided is a communication control device including an allocation unit that allocates transmit power to each of one or more small cells so as to moderate interference on a macro cell of a radio communication system from each small cell that at least partially overlaps with the macro cell, a judgment unit that, in a case in which there exists a second small cell that exerts interference exceeding an allowed level on a first small cell, judges whether the interference is unidirectional or bidirectional, and a control unit that controls the interference between the first small cell and the second small cell with a technique that differs according to a judgment result by the judgment unit.

A communication control device comprising:
- an allocation unit that allocates transmit power to each of one or more small cells so as to moderate interference on a macro cell of a radio communication system from each small cell that at least partially overlaps with the macro cell;
- a judgment unit that, in a case in which there exists a second small cell that exerts interference exceeding an allowed level on a first small cell, judges whether the interference is unidirectional or bidirectional;
- and
- a control unit that controls the interference between the first small cell and the second small cell with a technique that differs according to a judgment result by the judgment unit.
A communication control method comprising:
- allocating transmit power to each of one or more small cells so as to moderate interference on a macro cell of a radio communication system from each small cell that at least partially overlaps with the macro cell;
- judging, in a case in which there exists a second small cell that exerts interference exceeding an allowed level on a first small cell, whether the interference is unidirectional or bidirectional;
- and
- controlling the interference between the first small cell and the second small cell with a technique that differs according to a result of the judging.
A communication control system comprising:
- base stations of a first small cell and a second small cell that at least partially overlap with a macro cell of a radio communication system;
- and
- a communication control device that includes
- an allocation unit that allocates transmit power to each of the first small cell and the second small cell so as to moderate interference from the first small cell and the second small cell on the macro cell,
- a judgment unit that, in a case in which one of the first small cell and the second small cell exerts interference exceeding an allowed level on the other, judges whether the interference is unidirectional or bidirectional, and
- a control unit that controls the interference between the first small cell and the second small cell with a technique that differs according to a judgment result by the judgment unit.
