A base station according to an embodiment includes a controller configured to perform a process of transmitting, in a specific frequency band shared by a plurality of operators and/or a plurality of communication systems, a burst signal including data or a control signal and a discovery reference signal including a reference signal and/or a synchronization signal. If there is a transmission duration of the discovery signal within a transmission duration of the burst signal after starting the transmission of the burst signal, the controller performs a process of transmitting the discovery reference signal even within the transmission duration of the burst signal.
