Frequency resource is divided into frequency for boundary area of cell and frequency for central area of cell. Transmission power per unit frequency is fixed in the frequency for boundary area of cell and is set to be variable in the frequency for central area of cell. Transmission power per unit frequency is adjusted so as to satisfy necessary power of terminals connected to frequency for central area of cell. When it is judged that total transmission power of base station exceeds prescribed value, terminal is moved from central area to boundary area of cell, so that total transmission power is suppressed to be equal to or smaller than standard. | 01-03-2013 |
