Patent ID: 8824969

Claim:
A radio base station capable of performing communications with a mobile station by using a primary carrier and one or more secondary carriers which are different in carrier frequency from the primary carrier, the radio base station comprising: a controller unit configured to determine a primary carrier and secondary carriers to be used in the communications; and a receiver unit configured to receive a measurement report from the mobile station that has detected a cell having a higher radio quality than a predetermined threshold for a predetermined time period or longer, or a cell in a carrier other than the primary carrier, the cell having a higher radio quality than a value obtained by subtracting a predetermined value from the radio quality of a cell during communication on the primary carrier, the measurement report containing the radio quality of the detected cell, wherein if the cell having the highest radio quality in a measurement object carrier is not under the control of the radio base station, the controller unit avoids use of the cell having the highest radio quality in communications on the secondary carriers.
