Abstract
A base station performs radio communication with a radio terminal using at least one narrow frequency band where the number of resource blocks is limited to a predetermined resource block number. The base station comprises a transmitter configured to transmit, to the radio terminal, configuration information for frequency hopping where the radio communication is performed while switching the narrow frequency band; and a controller configured to allocate, to the radio terminal, a first frequency band of the frequency hopping and a frequency band of a hopping destination. The first frequency band and the frequency band of the hopping destination respectively include the narrow frequency band and fraction resource blocks. The fraction resource blocks are resource blocks, the number of which is smaller than the predetermined resource block number. The controller is configured to make the number of the fraction resource blocks included in the frequency band of the hopping destination equal to the number of the fraction resource blocks included in the first frequency band.
