Patent ID: 8787268

Claim:
A base station apparatus comprising: a cross polarization discrimination acquiring section configured to acquire a first cross polarization discrimination, transmitted from a second terminal apparatus, between a first polarization of a signal transmitted from a first terminal apparatus to the second terminal apparatus and a second polarization of a signal transmitted from the base station apparatus to the second terminal apparatus; and an allocating section configured to allocate, based on the acquired first cross-polarization discrimination, the second terminal apparatus to a first resource block that is included in an independent allocation band and that is allocated for one of a downlink and an uplink, the first resource block being adjacent to a second resource block that is included in a coordinated allocation band and that is allocated for the other one of the downlink and the uplink, wherein the independent allocation band is a frequency band in which the first resource block is allocated independently from an adjacent cell and the coordinated allocation band is a frequency band in which the second resource block is allocated coordinately with the adjacent cell.
