  • Publication number: 20150373601
    Abstract: A system in which user terminal is able to aggressively select small cells in a radio communication system in which a macro cell and small cells are arranged to overlap each other is disclosed. A macro base station (M) configured to form a macro cell carries out the steps of determining the offset value to use in cell selection in a user terminal (UE) based on transmission property information of a second carrier in the small cell, and reporting the offset value to the user terminal (UE). Also, the user terminal (UE) carries out the steps of measuring the received quality of reference signals from the macro base station (M) and the small base station (S), receiving the offset value that is reported from the macro base station (M), and carrying out cell selection based on the received quality that is measured and the offset value that is received.
