Claim:
1. A base station comprising: a wireless communication transceiver configured to communicate with a communication terminal enabled to perform communication using a plurality of cells at the same time; and a controller comprising a processor that controls transmission power of each of the cells to change a size of a communication area of each of the cells to change a cell used by the communication terminal among the cells, wherein the cells include a first cell and a second cell, and when a retention amount of transmission data to be transmitted to a first communication terminal communicating with the base station using both of the first cell and the second cell at the same time has been continuously equal to or larger than a threshold for a certain period of time or more, the controller decreases transmission power of the first cell used by a second communication terminal to interrupt the use of the first cell by the second communication terminal communicating with the base station using both of the first cell and the second cell at the same time, and a priority of the first communication terminal is equal to or higher than a priority threshold and the priority of the second communication terminal is lower than the priority threshold.
