In this device: a gain calculator () uses a function in which the variable is a first resource amount from among the resource amounts possessed by an operator in question, and calculates a second resource amount at which the maximum gain is reached in the function of the operator to which the device in question belongs, the first resource amount being a resource amount allocated to a terminal belonging to another operator; a transmitter/receiver () transmits the second resource amount to the manager (), and receives, from the manager (), the minimum value among second resource amounts calculated in each of the operators; and the allocation unit () allocates resources to the signal of the terminal belonging to the operator in question and to the terminal belonging to the other operator on the basis of the minimum value among the second resource amounts calculated by each of the operators.

Resource allocation method for shared base station

A relay station to which network sharing is applied, wherein it is possible to appropriately allocate between multiple operators a shared band frequency shared by the multiple operators, and to improve the frequency use efficiency. In a relay station (), a band frequency allocation determination unit () determines the bandwidth for each operator within a shared band frequency, which is shared by multiple operators and used between the relay station () and a mobile station, on the basis of the quality of a first line between the relay station () and the base stations of the operators and on the basis of the status of a second line between the relay station () and the mobile stations of the operators. A signal generation unit () allocates the signal of the operators to a resource on the basis of the bandwidth for each operator in the shared band frequency.
