Radio communication terminal and radio communication method

摘要

Provided is a radio communication terminal that can accurately measure quality of communication to be performed thereby under the control of a handover destination. The radio communication terminal is a radio communication terminal capable of communicating with a base station or a relay station, and comprises: a receiving unit to receive control information containing information on measurement in which qualities of neighboring cells are measured; an extraction unit to extract, from the information on the measurement, information on subframes subjected to the measurement that are those used only for signal transmission from the relay station, which is connected to the base station; a measurement unit to execute the measurement on subframe by subframe on the basis of the thus extracted information on the subframes subjected to the measurement; and a transmission unit to transmit a measurement result of the above measurement to the base station or the relay station.
