Abstract

A radio communication device including a memory that stores information on a strength of interference between a beam output by a first base station and a beam output by a second base station for each of a plurality of combinations, each of the plurality of combinations including at least one of a plurality of beams output by the first base station and at least one of a plurality of beams output by the second base station, emitting directions of each of the plurality of beams output by the first base station being different each other, emitting directions of each of the plurality of beams output by the second base station being different each other, and a processor configured to identify one or more combinations having the interference strength higher than a threshold, and assign different radio resources to each of beams included in the identified one or more combinations.

Claims (24)

1. A radio communication device comprising:

a memory that stores information on a strength of interference between a beam output by a first base station and a beam output by a second base station for each of a plurality of combinations, each of the plurality of combinations including at least one of a plurality of beams output by the first base station and at least one of a plurality of beams output by the second base station, emitting directions of each of the plurality of beams output by the first base station being different each other, emitting directions of each of the plurality of beams output by the second base station being different each other; and

a processor coupled to the memory and the processor configured to:

identify one or more combinations having the interference strength higher than a threshold value among the plurality of combinations; and

assign different radio resources to each of beams included in the identified one or more combinations.

2. The radio communication device according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor is further configured to:

notify information on the assigned radio resources to the first base station and the second base station.

3. The radio communication device according to claim 1 , wherein

the threshold value is determined based on an evaluation value indicating an evaluation that becomes higher as a ratio between a number of combinations having interference strengths higher than the threshold value and a number of combinations having interference strengths not higher than the threshold value approaches a fixed value.

4. The radio communication device according to claim 1 , wherein

the information on the strength of the interference includes a second correlation value obtained by subjecting first correlation values to statistical processing with respect to a plurality of mobile stations, the first correlation values indicating strengths of interference between the beams received by each of the plurality of mobile stations from the first base station and the second base station.

5. A radio communication system comprising:

a first base station;

a second base station; and

a radio communication device including:

a memory that stores information on a strength of interference between a beam output by the first base station and a beam output by the second base station for each of a plurality of combinations, each of the plurality of combinations including at least one of a plurality of beams output by the first base station and at least one of a plurality of beams output by the second base station, emitting directions of each of the plurality of beams output by the first base station being different each other, emitting directions of each of the plurality of beams output by the second base station being different each other; and

a processor coupled to the memory and the processor configured to:

identify one or more combinations having the interference strength higher than a threshold value among the plurality of combinations; and

assign different radio resources to each of beams included in the identified one or more combinations.

6. A beam control method executed by a computer, the beam control method comprising:

obtaining information on a strength of interference between a beam output by a first base station and a beam output by a second base station for each of a plurality of combinations, each of the plurality of combinations including at least one of a plurality of beams output by the first base station and at least one of a plurality of beams output by the second base station, emitting directions of each of the plurality of beams output by the first base station being different each other, emitting directions of each of the plurality of beams output by the second base station being different each other;

identifying one or more combinations having the interference strength higher than a threshold value among the plurality of combinations; and

assign different radio resources to each of beams included in the identified one or more combinations.
