Abstract

The present invention is designed so that, in a radio communication system in which a plurality of component carriers (CCs) are used in each small cell within a macro cell, the load of measurements, the amount of information to report and so on in user terminals are reduced. The macro base station of the present invention transmits, to a user terminal, measurement indication information that includes a measurement indication for the received power of a measurement signal of a specific CC in each small cell, and receives, from the user terminal, a measurement report that includes the received power of the measurement signal of the specific CC. Also, the macro base station calculates the received quality of the measurement signals of the plurality of CCs based on the received power of the measurement signal of the specific CC.
