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.
