Provided are an interference-control method and femto base station whereby inter-cell interference between a femtocell and a macrocell is decreased without a loss in throughput or coverage of the femto base station. A nearby-macro-terminal detection unit (306) in the femto base station (103) detects whether there are any macro terminals (102) within communication range of the femto base station (103) that are not registered with the femto base station (103). If a macro terminal (102) is detected, an interference-control unit (307) controls interference by either decreasing the total transmission power of the femto base station (103) or allocating, to femto terminals (104) registered with the femto base station (103), frequencies that differ from the frequency used by the macro base station (101) . |
