Abstract

A radio communication system which keeps to a minimum the number of slots which cannot be used due to interference from a neighboring base station, and which can increase the slot usage efficiency. A slot/frame setting unit for a base station extracts the slot/frame timing of a neighboring base station based on the reception output of a radio unit, and sets the communication frame by displacing it in such a way that two slots in the own base station do not coincide in time with a slot of the neighboring base station based on this timing. This setting ensures that there is always just a single slot which cannot be used when interference is detected.
