    Abstract: In SORM (Spectrum-Overlapped Resource Allocation), interference to other cells caused by an increase in transmit power of mobile station apparatuses is suppressed. A wireless control apparatus allows a plurality of wireless terminal apparatuses to locate transmit signals at part of frequencies in a system band in an overlapping manner, and determines frequencies at which the individual wireless terminal apparatuses locate transmit signals, so that an interference level of the entire system band is suppressed to be lower than or equal to a certain value. Also, the wireless control apparatus determines frequencies at which the individual wireless terminal apparatuses locate transmit signals, so that a total sum of frequency bands allocated to the individual wireless terminal apparatuses is smaller than or equal to the system band.
