1. A communication apparatus, comprising:
an antenna port;
reception circuitry, which, in operation, receives parameter information in a cell in which the communication apparatus is located; and
control circuitry, which is coupled to the reception circuitry and which, in operation, determines based on the parameter information whether to use radio resources which correspond to a geographical location of the communication apparatus,
wherein, responsive to the parameter information indicating to use radio resources which correspond to a geographical location of the communication apparatus, the control circuitry:
determines the geographical location of the communication apparatus,
identifies a location subsection in which the communication apparatus is geographically located based on the parameter information, wherein the parameter information includes a first parameter indicative of a length of the location subsection, a second parameter indicative of a width of the location subsection, a third parameter indicative of a number of location subsections with respect to the length in longitude into which a location section is divided, and a fourth parameter indicative of a number of location subsections with respect to the width in latitude into which the location section is divided, wherein the first to fourth parameters are dynamically signaled from a radio base station,
dynamically determines radio resources, which correspond to the identified location subsection in which the communication apparatus is geographically located, based on the first to fourth parameters, the length and width of the location subsection and the numbers of location subsections into which the location section is divided with respect to longitude and latitude, and
performs communication using the determined radio resources through the antenna port.
