Abstract

A base station that can transmit a synchronization signal at a predetermined transmission interval in a plurality of cycles includes a processor configured to continuously transmit the synchronization signal in a plurality of radio signals; and control radio measurement of a mobile station connected to the base station such that the mobile station detects the synchronization signal under a condition in accordance with second information that has been scaled by using first information.

Claims (39)

1. A base station that can transmit a synchronization signal at a predetermined transmission interval in a plurality of cycles and can form a first cell, the base station comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit, in the first cell, the synchronization signal in a plurality of radio signals; and

a controller configured to:

cause to a mobile station connected the based station to detect the synchronization signal under a condition that is according to second information related to a of the mobile station, the second information being controlled first information, and

cause to the mobile station to perform a cell selection or a cell re-selection according to a criterion of a reception quality for the first cell, wherein

a measurement cycle of a radio measurement of the mobile station is a cycle obtained by multiplying a measurement cycle as a criterion by N (N is an integer multiple).

2. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein

the controller is further configured to cause to the mobile station to perform the cell selection or the cell re-selection by controlling the transmitter to transmit measurement instruction information that enables a measurement of a second cell.

3. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein

the cell selection or the cell re-selection includes a process that enables the mobile station to measure a signal of a second cell different from the first cell.

4. The base station according to claim 3 , wherein

the cell selection or the cell re-selection includes the process that enables the mobile station to radio measure the signal of the second cell at a timing other than a timing of radio measurement of the signal of the second cell, a timing of radio measurement being according to the measurement cycle.

5. The base station according to claim 3 , wherein

the transmitter is further configured to cyclically transmit, in the first cell, the synchronization signal and broadcast information by using beam sweeping or beam spanning.

6. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein

the controller is further configured to:

generate the first information; and

generate notification information including the first information such that, when the mobile station selects an own cell, the mobile station performs scaling on the second information related to a measurement cycle of the radio measurement in accordance with the first information.

7. A mobile station that can receive a synchronization signal transmitted from a base station that can transmit the synchronization signal at a predetermined transmission interval in a plurality of cycles and can form a first cell, the mobile station comprising:

a receiver configured to receive the synchronization signal; and

a processor configured to:

control to detect the synchronization signal under a condition in accordance with second information, the second information that is being controlled by using first information, and

perform a cell selection or cell re-selection according to a criterion of a reception quality for the first cell, wherein

a measurement cycle of a radio measurement of the mobile station is a cycle obtained by multiplying a measurement cycle as a criterion by N (N is an integer multiple).

8. The base station according to claim 7 , wherein

the receiver is further configured to receive measurement instruction information that enables a measurement of a second cell, and

the controller is further configured to perform the cell selection or the cell re-selection according to the criterion and measurement instruction information.

9. The base station according to claim 7 , wherein

the controller is further configured to measure a signal of a second cell different from the first cell for the cell selection or the cell re-selection.

10. The base station according to claim 9 , wherein

the controller is further configured to measure the signal of the second cell at a timing other than a timing of radio measurement of the signal of the second cell, a timing of radio measurement being according to the measurement cycle.

11. A communication system comprising:

a base station configured to transmit a synchronization signal at a predetermined transmission interval in a plurality of cycles and to form a first cell, and

a mobile station that is connected to the base station, wherein

the base station configured to:

transmit, in the first cell, the synchronization signal in a plurality of radio signals,

cause to a mobile station connected the based station to detect the synchronization signal under a condition that is according to second information related to a of the mobile station, the second information being controlled first information, and

cause to the mobile station to perform a cell selection or a cell re-selection according to a criterion of a reception quality for the first cell, wherein

a measurement cycle of a radio measurement of the mobile station is a cycle obtained by multiplying a measurement cycle as a criterion by N (N is an integer multiple).
