Therefore, since the picocell base station PeNB is preferentially selected as a connection destination, the coverage of the picocell base station PeNB can be expanded.

以上説明したように、第1実施形態によれば、1つの割り当て情報を複数のサブフレームに適用可能になり、サブフレームSF#Bにおいてマクロセル基地局MeNBと無線端末MUEとの間での割り当て情報の送受信処理を省略できるため、ピコセル基地局PeNBは、サブフレームSF#Bにおいて当該マクロセル基地局MeNBのPDCCHから受ける干渉が軽減される。したがって、PDCCHの基地局間干渉を低減できる。
上述した第1実施形態では、劣化無線端末PUEは、指定情報によって指定されたサブフレーム(すなわち、サブフレーム情報が示すサブフレーム)以外のサブフレームにおいてユーザデータの送受信を行うことが難しい。第2実施形態では、ピコセル基地局PeNBもサブフレーム情報を送信するようにし、指定情報によって指定されたサブフレーム以外のサブフレームにおいてもユーザデータの送受信を可能とする。
