Abstract

Selon la présente invention, il est possible de notifier à un terminal un changement de l'agencement d'antenne d'un dispositif de station de base sans retard. Le dispositif de station de base peut changer le nombre de ports d'antenne utilisés pour transmettre des signaux radio. Le dispositif de station de base comprend : une pluralité de ports d'antenne ; une unité de génération d'informations de commande qui génère des informations de commande relatives à l'agencement de ports d'antenne de transmission utilisés pour transmettre des signaux radio parmi la pluralité de ports d'antenne ; et une unité de transmission d'informations de commande qui transmet des informations de commande au terminal. L'unité de génération d'informations de commande génère des premières informations de commande représentant un premier agencement de ports d'antenne de transmission et des secondes informations de commande représentant un second agencement de ports d'antenne de transmission différent du premier agencement. L'unité de transmission d'informations de commande transmet les premières informations de commande au terminal par un premier procédé puis transmet des secondes informations de commande au terminal par un second procédé différent du premier procédé.
