Abstract
In an environment in which a macro base station and a low transmission power base station exist, the ratio of the interference reduction time period of the macro base station is optimized, and the throughput of the low transmission power base station is improved, while minimizing a reduction in throughput. The macro base station causes a high interference to other base stations and one or a plurality of low power nodes (LPN) subjected to interference from the macro base station. The macro base station sets first and second data transmission time periods and then determines the ratio of the second time period and the pattern of the first time period and the second time period based on communication quality in the first time period and communication quality in the second time period of the macro base station and the LPN.
