Patent ID: 8755346

Claim:
A base station performing radio communication with a communication terminal of a plurality of communication terminals, the base station comprising: a communication path quality information acquisition unit configured to, for the communication terminal, acquire communication path quality information representing a communication path quality, which is a quality of a communication path between the communication terminal and the base station; and a radio resource allocation unit configured to: allocate power larger than previously set reference transmission power as transmission power for transmitting a radio signal to an edge terminal configuring a first partial edge terminal group, which is at least part of an edge terminal group configured by an edge terminal that is a communication terminal whose communication path quality represented by the acquired communication path quality information is lower than a previously set threshold quality; allocate the reference transmission power as the transmission power to an edge terminal configuring a second partial edge terminal group, which is a remaining part of the edge terminal group; and allocate limitation transmission power smaller than the reference transmission power as the transmission power to each center terminal that is a communication terminal whose communication path quality represented by the acquired communication path quality information is higher than the threshold quality.
