An LTE base stationdetermines whether or not a timing for setting a logical area arrives. When the timing for setting a logical area arrives, the LTE base stationacquires an uplink traffic volume and a downlink traffic volume in radio communication with a radio terminal. On the basis of the uplink traffic volume and the downlink traffic volume, the LTE base stationsets an uplink dedicated logical area, a downlink dedicated logical area and a shared logical area in a logical area for one PDCCH.

Radio base station and communication control method

A wireless communication apparatus, having a plurality of antennas-to-M and for diversity-combining signals received by the plurality of antennas-to-M, is provided with a combining information calculation unitfor calculating antenna combined amplitude and combining weights based on received power of the plurality of antennas-to-M, a combining unitfor weighting and combining the signals received by the plurality of antennas-to-M based on the combining weights calculated, and a decoding processing unitfor decoding a combined reception signal generated by the combining unit. It thereby improves fading durability of the decoding process by reducing influence of multipath fading caused by arrival waves with delays, even in a case of using only a small number of reception antennas, and maintains a stable reception condition consistently, as well as achieving downsizing of and reduction in cost of hardware.
