Abstract
In order to signal information that is required in rate matching efficiently, even when CoMP transmission/reception techniques are employed, CoMP transmission is scheduled, in which a plurality of radio base station apparatuses (eNBs) serve as transmission points and carry out coordinated multi-point transmission with respect to a user terminal (UE), downlink control information is generated, in which a rate matching pattern is incorporated, in a physical downlink control channel, based on a table, in which rate matching patterns that are required are mapped to bit data in association with transmission modes in CoMP transmission, a physical downlink control channel is transmitted and also a physical downlink shared data channel is transmitted, to the user terminal (UE), and in the user terminal (UE), the rate matching pattern incorporated in the downlink control information, is specified, based on a table of the same contents as in the radio base station apparatuses (eNBs).
