Claim Text:
1. A wireless communication apparatus comprising: a reception unit that receives, from a femto cell base station controlling a femto cell, a pilot channel signal for reception quality measurement and a synchronization channel signal for synchronization, wherein the femto cell is included in a macro cell controlled by a macro cell base station; a storage unit that stores a list indicating accessible femto cells and physical cell IDs of the accessible femto cells, and that further stores location information of a previously accessed femto cell in association with the physical cell ID of the previously accessed femto cell; a determination unit that determines whether the femto cell, from which the pilot channel signal and the synchronization channel signal are received, is positionally accessible or not based on the list and the location information stored in the storage unit and the physical cell ID of the femto cell acquired from the received synchronization channel signal; a measurement report creation unit that creates a measurement report including information that is a determination result of the determination unit and that is related to whether the femto cell is positionally accessible or not, and a transmission unit that transmits the created measurement report to the macro cell base station.
