7. A base station comprising:
a receiver configured to receive, from a user terminal, an uplink signal at a timing adjusted by the user terminal based on a first timing advance received at the user terminal from another base station, the first timing advance determined, not based on a preamble received from the user terminal, to be the same as a second timing advance determined by the another base station, the second timing advance for determining, by the user terminal, timing for uplink signal transmission to the another base station, the first timing advance for determining, by the user terminal, timing to transmit the uplink signal to the base station.
