An information communication scheme for enabling the radio base station to carry
out both point-to-point user information communications and point-to-multipoint
user information communications with respect to radio terminals is disclosed. A
first media access control identifier is allocated to a radio terminal which made
a connection request, a correspondence between the first media access identifier
and the radio terminal is broadcast, and a user information destined to the radio
terminal is transmitted using a time-slot corresponding to the first media access
control identifier. On the other hand, a second media access control identifier
is allocated to a multicast information identifier, a correspondence between the
second media access control identifier and the multicast information identifier
is transmitted, and the multicast information is transmitted using a time-slot
corresonding to the second media access control identifier.
