Abstract

In order to synchronize timings of transmission through a radio channel for broadcast communication even when a plurality of base stations communicate independently of one another, a receiver 11 in a radio base station 10 receives broadcast information INFO1 transmitted from a different radio base station 40 through a radio channel CH1 for transmitting the broadcast information. A controller 12 specifies a radio channel CH2 used for broadcast communication by the different radio base station 40 and adjusts a timing of transmission through the radio channel CH2 for broadcast communication in its own radio base station 10 to be synchronized with a timing of transmission in the different radio base station 40, based on the broadcast information INFO1. A transmitter 13 transmits data through the radio channel CH2 for broadcast communication in accordance with the adjusted timing TA of transmission.
