Base station and wireless communication system

摘要

The present invention reduces the number of base stations required to carry out terminal position detection. A base station which serves for terminal position detection using radio signals comprises an antenna to transmit and receive a radio signal; a radio signal receiver which generates a received signal from the radio signal received; a signal processing unit which processes the received signal and generates a transmit signal; a radio signal transmitter which generates a radio signal from the transmit signal; a control unit which exerts control of the base station operation; and a signal processing unit for position detection which performs signal processing for terminal position detection. A signal receivable range with which a signal can be received by the radio signal receiver is made longer than a signal transmission range with which a signal is transmitted by the radio signal transmitter.
