Communication system
Provided is a communication system capable of suppressing, under communication environment including a plurality of cells, degradation in communication quality and decrease in communication rate and communication capacity due to interference from the other cells. Each of the cells includes a plurality of antenna elements, and performs radio communication with a communication terminal device through the antenna elements. Each of the cells notifies the other cells of settings for measuring channel information on a channel for performing radio communication of its own cell. Each of the cells may notify a communication terminal device being served thereby of the settings for measuring the channel information of its own cell. Here, the communication terminal device measures the channel information based on the settings notified from each of the cells, and reports a result of the measured channel information to a corresponding one of the cells when the result satisfies a predetermined reporting condition.
1. A communication system comprising:
a plurality of cells configuring one or more base station devices; and
a communication terminal device configured to perform radio communication with each of the cells,
wherein each of the cells includes a plurality of antenna elements, and performs the radio communication with the communication terminal device through the plurality of antenna elements, and
each of the cells notifies the other cells of its settings for measuring channel information on a channel used thereby, and
each of the cells broadcasts, via a master information block (MIB) of a broadcast control channel (BCCH), its settings for measuring the channel information on the channel used thereby to the communication terminal device.
2. The communication system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the communication terminal device measures the channel information based on the settings for measuring the channel information that have been broadcast from each of the cells, and reports a result of the measured channel information to a corresponding one of the cells when the result of the measured channel information satisfies a predetermined reporting condition.
