Abstract
A communications apparatus, a base station, and a communications method. The communications apparatus includes processing circuitry configured to: group users in a 3D beam-forming space of a current cell into multiple space user groups; determine group configuration information of the users in the 3D beam-forming space of the current cell; notify a neighbor cell of the group configuration information of the users in the 3D beam-forming space of the current cell to assist inter-cell interference coordination, wherein the current cell is configured with an antenna array having multiple physical antennas to achieve 3D beam-forming.
