- the mobile communication system 100 includes a macro base station 101, macro terminals 102 and 103, a femto base station 104, and a femto terminal 105.
- the macro base station 101 generally forms one wide macro cell 111 with high transmission power (for example, a maximum of 43 dBm to 46 dBm).
- the macro base station 101 transmits downlink data to the macro terminals 102 and 103 existing in the macro cell 111. Further, the macro base station 101 receives uplink data from the macro terminals 102 and 103 existing in the macro cell 111.

This means that the macro terminal 102 is approaching the macro terminal service hole formed by the femto base station 104, and there is a high possibility that the macro terminal 102 will be unable to communicate. Therefore, when there is a macro terminal approaching the femto base station 104 (macro terminal 102 in FIG. 2), the femto base station 104 determines whether or not the macro terminal is close (that is, the macro terminal It is necessary to detect the presence of a terminal) and to perform interference control on the femto terminal 105 registered in the own cell.
- a macro terminal (macro terminal 103 in FIG. 2) exists at a location away from the femto base station 104, interference from the femto base station 104 to the macro terminal is weak enough to be ignored. Therefore, when all the macro terminals are located away from the femto base station 104, the femto base station 104 is less likely to take interference control measures such as transmission power reduction or frequency division, and depending on the situation, interference may occur. There is no need to take control.
