Abstract

A wireless communication system includes a plurality of sets of base station devices and terminal station devices configured to perform communications in an equal frame length using a time division duplex scheme, the communications of the plurality of sets being simultaneously operated in adjacent areas, in which each of the base station devices includes a control unit configured to control a transmission timing of a downlink signal transmitted from the base station device itself based on a communication distance between the base station device and the terminal station device of each of the sets or a reception timing of a downlink signal in the terminal station device such that reception timings of downlink signals transmitted from the base station device itself and other base station devices in the terminal station devices of the sets fall within a predetermined range determined in advance.

Claims (9)

1. A wireless communication system, comprising

a plurality of sets of base station devices and terminal station devices configured to perform communications in an equal frame length using a time division duplex scheme, the communications of the plurality of sets being operated simultaneously in adjacent areas, wherein

each of the base station devices includes

a control unit configured to control a transmission timing of a downlink signal transmitted from the base station device itself based on a communication distance between the base station device and the terminal station device of each of the sets or a reception timing of a downlink signal in the terminal station device such that reception timings of downlink signals transmitted from the base station device itself and other base station devices in the terminal station devices of the sets fall within a predetermined range determined in advance.

2. A wireless communication method in which a plurality of sets of base station devices and terminal station devices configured to perform communication in an equal frame length using a time division duplex scheme are present and communications of the plurality of sets are operated simultaneously in adjacent areas, the wireless communication method comprising

controlling a transmission timing of a downlink signal transmitted from each of the base station devices based on a communication distance between the base station device and the terminal station device of each of the sets or a reception timing of a downlink signal in the terminal station device, such that reception timings of downlink signals transmitted from the base station devices in the terminal station devices of the sets fall within a predetermined range determined in advance.

3. A management station device configured to control a transmission timing of a downlink signal to be transmitted by a base station device to a terminal station device in a wireless communication system in which a plurality of sets of base station devices and terminal station devices configured to perform communications in an equal frame length using a time division duplex scheme are present and communications of the plurality of sets are simultaneously operated in adjacent areas, the management station device comprising:

a management unit configured to store information on communication distances between the base station devices and the terminal station devices of the sets; and

a control unit configured to control a transmission timing of a downlink signal transmitted from each of the base station devices based on each of the communication distances between the base station devices and the terminal station devices of the sets, such that reception timings of downlink signals transmitted from the base station devices in the terminal station devices of the sets fall within a predetermined range determined in advance.
