MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A mobile communication system includes a plurality of eNBs that wirelessly communicate with UEs, and an MCE that controls the eNBs. The MCE provides MBSFN subframes (MCE) involving radio resources that transmit reference signals for measuring electric power to UEs at a lower frequency than normal, to the eNBs. In addition to the MBSFN subframes (MCE) provided by the MCE, the eNBs specify MBSFN subframes (eNB) involving radio resources that transmit reference signals to UEs at a lower frequency than normal, and transmit the reference signals in the MBSFN subframes (MCE) and the MBSFN subframes (eNB) to the UEs. As a result of this configuration, reference signals for measuring electric power can be transmitted at a lower frequency than normal, enabling the consumption of electric power in an infrastructure to be reduced.
