To reduce wasteful power consumption caused by an unnecessary reception operation, with increased frequency efficiency by newly assigning only an added channel on the uplink side, in a situation that addition of only the channel on the uplink side is required.
When communicating with a radio terminal, a communication method of radio communication equipment 100 for assigning a channel to the radio terminal using a time-division multiple access/time division duplex method having a plurality of time slots, includes an acquisition step for acquiring a data traffic amount of the channel on the uplink side, included in at least one channel pair assigned to the radio terminal, using an uplink flow monitoring section 130. The communication method also includes a control step for newly assigning only the added channel on the uplink side to the mobile terminal, using an uplink channel control section 160.
