  • Patent number: 9699796
    Abstract: A HeNB includes a CQI acquiring unit and an SIR acquiring unit that measure communication qualities of transmission bands on an uplink side and a downlink side. The HeNB, upon detecting an interference difference between bands in a transmission band on each of the uplink side and the downlink side on the basis of a result of measurement of the communication qualities, sets allocation of a band in which the communication quality satisfies a predetermined condition in the transmission band in which the interference difference is detected. The HeNB includes a control unit that, upon detecting signal interference on the downlink side on the basis of the result of the measurement of the communication qualities, controls a band on the downlink side, and controls a band on the uplink side in the transmission band in cooperation with the control on the band on the downlink side.
