Abstract
A small base station executes radio communication using multiple antennas. There are set multiple antenna groups that each include all or a portion of the antennas and multiple antenna group patterns that each include at least one of the antenna groups. The small base station transmits reference signals with sequences that differ from one another between antenna groups that are included in the same antenna group pattern. A user apparatus receives the reference signals. Based on a reception result of the reference signals, a use antenna group pattern and at least one use antenna group that are to be used for transmission of a radio signal from the small base station are determined.
