Abstract: Deterioration in communication characteristics is prevented by performing scheduling in which movement/stillness of user terminals is taken into consideration. Received-power measurement section 103 measures the power of a reference signal from each of the user terminals. Movement/stillness determination section 104 determines whether each of the user terminals is a moving terminal or an unmoving terminal based on over-time variations in received power at transmission points for each of the user terminals. Group selection section 105 groups the user terminals into a moving terminal group and an unmoving terminal group, and selects one of the groups as a signal-transmission target. Transmission control section 108 performs open-loop signal processing without precoding when the moving terminal group is selected, or performs closed-loop signal processing with precoding when the unmoving terminal group is selected.
