Wireless communication terminal and communication method

摘要

Provided is a wireless communication terminal that is connected to a base station, transmits data to and receives data from said base station, and can precisely measure the line quality of the current cell in a state where there is no interference from adjacent cells. The wireless communication terminal is provided with: a receiving unit that receives from the base station a signal that contains control information for the purpose of measuring the line quality of the current cell; an extraction unit that extracts the aforementioned control information from the aforementioned signal received by the receiving unit; a measurement unit that, on the basis of the aforementioned control information, measures the line quality of the current cell in regions in which adjacent cells are not transmitting signals; and a transmission unit that transmits to the base station the line quality of the current cell as measured by the measurement unit.
