In order to make it possible to prevent occurrence of an interference among terminal apparatuses when a base station forms a beam toward a terminal apparatus by beam-forming to transmit a downlink signal, and to improve reception quality at a terminal apparatus. A base station of the present disclosure includes a memory storing instructions and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to: perform channel estimations respectively on a plurality of terminal apparatuses; and determine a transmission layer of a target terminal apparatus by comparing angular profiles respectively obtained on the basis of channel estimates on the target terminal apparatus and at least one comparable terminal apparatus out of the plurality of terminal apparatuses and performing a path exclusion process to exclude, from transmission layers of the target terminal apparatus, a path that falls within a certain angular range around a path angle indicated by an angular profile of the at least one comparable terminal apparatus.
