Abstract
Provided is a micro base station to be used in a heterogeneous cellular network. The micro base station has resources including frequency bands and time slots and being available for a user to use. The heterogeneous cellular network includes a plurality of base stations including a macro base station and the micro base station. The micro base station includes: an information acquiring part configured to acquire configuration information and load information of the micro base station, and to acquire configuration information and load information of a neighboring base station adjacent to the micro base station from the neighboring base station; and a resource selection part configured to select a part of the resources from the resources to provide the selected part of the resources to the user based on the configuration information and the load information of the micro base station and the neighboring base station.
