Abstract
A mobile communication system wherein the upstream radio channel interference of a macrocell connection terminal with a femtocell base station can be reduced while the consumption of radio resources caused by increase in signaling is being suppressed. The macrocell connection terminal () performs, based on an instruction from a macrocell base station (), an upstream channel transmission and further reports a peripheral-femtocell detection result obtained by a measuring unit to the macrocell base station. The macrocell base station () instructs the terminal to perform a peripheral-femtocell detection. The identifier of the terminal and the peripheral-femtocell detection result obtained by the terminal are transmitted to a network management apparatus (). An interference reduction instruction (frequency band allocation) and the identifier of the terminal to be interference-controlled are received from the network management apparatus, and the frequency band allocation in the upstream channel transmission of the terminal to be interference-controlled is so controlled as to satisfy the interference reduction instruction.
