  • Patent number: 10826656
    Abstract: A wireless communication base station apparatus prevents degradation of throughput of LTE terminals, even when LTE terminals and LTE+ terminals are present together. A setting section sets in each subframe a resource block in which is arranged a reference signal that is employed solely by LTE+ terminals, based on the pattern of arrangement of reference signals employed solely by LTE+ terminals. As to symbols that are mapped to antennas (110-1) to (110-4), an arrangement section arranges the characteristic cell reference signals employed by both LTE terminals and LTE+ terminals in all of the resource blocks in a single frame. In contrast, as to symbols that are mapped to antennas (110-5) to (110-8), the arrangement section arranges in some of the resource blocks, that are set in accordance with the setting results input from a setting section, the characteristic cell reference signals that are employed solely by the LTE+ terminals.
