Abstract

A communication system is provided that, if a large number of small cells are installed, is capable of configuring an operation suitable for small cells through simple operation and administration. If a small cell installed in Step STjudges in Step STthat a coverage macro cell, which includes the small cell in the coverage of the coverage macro cell, is present as a result of neighbor cell search in Step ST, notifies the coverage macro cell and another neighbor cell of its own capability in Steps STand. The coverage macro cell selects a configuration parameter suitable for the capability of the small cell in Step STand notifies the small cell in Step ST. The small cell recognizes an operation mode configured by the coverage macro cell from the configuration parameter notified from the coverage macro cell, and then, starts operating in the operation mode.
