Abstract

A high-power radio base station includes a resource setter configured to determine a ratio of the number of second resources at which the radio communicator should stop radio transmission to the sum of the number of the second resources and the number of first resources at which the radio communicator should execute radio transmission. The resource setter determines the ratio on the basis of a first number and a second number, the first number being the number of mobile terminals that are assumed to be connected with the radio base station, rather than the low-power radio base station, when cell range expansion (CRE) is not applied, but are connected with the low-power radio base station by virtue of application of cell range expansion, the second number being the number of mobile terminals connected with the radio base station when cell range expansion is applied. The resource setter determines the ratio in such a manner that the greater the proportion of the second number to the first number, the smaller the ratio.
