Abstract

Disclosed is a second base station device communicating with a first base station device. The second base station device includes a receiver configured to receive, from the first base station device, information for limiting radio resource allocation; a controller configured to allocate a radio resource based on the received information for limiting radio resource allocation; and a transmitter configured to transmit information for limiting radio resource allocation to the first base station device. The information for limiting radio resource allocation includes information indicating at least one of a frequency domain and a time domain indicating a location of a radio resource.

Claims (21)

1. A second base station device communicating with a first base station device, the second base station device comprising:

a receiver configured to receive, from the first base station device, an SGNB ADDITION REQUEST including first information for limiting radio resource allocation;

a controller configured to allocate a radio resource based on the received first information for limiting radio resource allocation; and

a transmitter configured to transmit an SGNB ADDITION REQUEST ACKNOWLEDGE including second information for limiting radio resource allocation to the first base station device,

wherein each of the first information and the second information for limiting radio resource allocation includes information indicating at least one of a frequency domain and a time domain indicating a location of a radio resource.

2. The second base station device according to claim 1 ,

wherein each of the first information and the second information for limiting radio resource allocation includes information indicating a frequency domain indicating a location of a radio resource, and

wherein the information indicating the frequency domain includes a part of or all of

a physical resource block to be potentially used by the first base station device or the second base station device for downlink or uplink,

an index indicating a frequency, and

a carrier band width.

3. The second base station device according to claim 1 ,

wherein in a case where the first base station device and the second base station device are synchronized, or a timing difference between the first base station device and the second base station device is acquired, each of the first information and the second information for limiting radio resource allocation includes information indicating a time domain indicating a location of a radio resource, and

wherein the information indicating a time domain indicating a location of a radio resource includes a part of or all of

a subframe or a slot to be potentially used for downlink or/and uplink, and

a special subframe configuration.

4. The second base station device according to claim 1 ,

wherein in a case where the first base station device and the second base station device are asynchronous, and a timing difference between the first base station device and the second base station device is not acquired, each of the first information and the second information for limiting radio resource allocation includes information indicating a time domain indicating a location of a radio resource, and

wherein the information indicating a time domain indicating a location of a radio resource includes information that indicates whether to start interference control.

5. The second base station device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first information and the second information for limiting radio resource allocation includes information indicating a frequency domain indicating a location of a radio resource and information indicating a time domain indicating a location of a radio resource.

6. The second base station device according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first information and the second information for limiting radio resource allocation includes information indicating a frequency domain indicating a location of an unused radio resource and information indicating a time domain indicating a location of an unused radio resource.
