Abstract:
1. A base station apparatus for allocating at least one subcarrier block, in a frequency band containing a plurality of subcarrier blocks each composed of a plurality of subcarriers, to a terminal apparatus, the base station apparatus comprising: a measurement unit which measures an interference power of at least part of subcarriers among a plurality of subcarriers in each of the plurality of subcarrier blocks; a derivation unit which derives, from the interference power of subcarriers measured by said measurement unit, an average value of the interference power for each of the plurality of subcarrier blocks and a variance of the interference power indicating a degree of variation in the interference power relative to the average value; and an allocation unit which allocates at least one subcarrier block to the terminal apparatus, based on the average value of the interference power and the variance of the interference power derived by said derivation unit.
