Abstract

A base station apparatus is connected to a plurality of transmission/reception points each switching a transmission scheme according to reception environment of wireless terminal and providing service to wireless terminal. The base station apparatus includes a history recording part recording history of beam and transmission scheme selected by wireless terminal with respect to each transmission/reception point; a calculation part calculating a second throughput when service is received using one or more beams being candidates for selection by wireless terminal among beams transmitted by a second transmission/reception point different from a first transmission/reception point connected to wireless terminal; and a transmission/reception point selection part providing service from the second transmission/reception point to wireless terminal by the beam and the transmission scheme corresponding to the second throughput subject to satisfying a predetermined condition with respect to the first throughput being the measured throughput with the first transmission/reception point connected to wireless terminal.
