Abstract

The present invention provides a base station apparatus, a mobile terminal apparatus and a communication control method which can improve the accuracy of channel quality estimation. A communication control method includes the steps of: allocating a CSI-RS (Channel State Information-Reference Signal), which is a reference signal for downlink channel estimation, in resources for the CSI-RS that are defined for CSI-RS transmission; setting muting resources in the resources for the CSI-RS; and reporting parameters to specify the CSI-RS, including at least a transmitting subframe cycle, a subframe offset and transmission power, to a mobile terminal apparatus.
