Abstract

The present disclosure relates to techniques for implementing cell selection suitable for 3D MIMO. One aspect of the present invention relates to user equipment, comprising: a transmission and reception unit configured to receive a reference signal list including precoded reference signals transmitted from a camped base station and an adjacent base station; a measurement unit configured to measure reception quality of the respective precoded reference signals in the received reference signal list; and a beam selection unit configured to select a beam to communicate with the camped base station or the adjacent base station based on the measured reception quality and indicate the selected beam to the camped base station or the adjacent base station.
