Abstract

A coordinated transmission method of the invention has the steps of selecting a directional pattern corresponding to an area in which a radio terminal locates, from among a plurality of directional patterns determined respectively corresponding to a plurality of resources in frequency domains where the plurality of directional patterns is configured so that a plurality of radio base stations surrounding the area transmits, to the area, directional beams of same frequency domain resources to face one another, while not transmitting the directional beams of the same frequency domain resources using the same frequency domain resources to areas adjacent to the area, and of distributing a signal to transmit to the radio terminal according to the selected directional pattern, determining a frequency domain and directions of directional beams regarding the distributed signal, and delivering the signal to each of the plurality of radio base stations that simultaneously transmits the signal to the radio terminal.
