Claim:
1. A radio communication apparatus comprising: an antenna configured to receive reception signals including pilot signals from a cell detected by a cell search, the pilot signals including a first pilot signal, the reception signals being configured to correspond to radio resources to which channels are mapped; and a processor coupled to the antenna and configured to: measure power of the reception signals, power of the pilot signals, power of a first subcarrier to which the first pilot signal is mapped, and power of a second subcarrier to which a signal other than the pilot signals is mapped; measure a signal quality of the reception signals based on the measured power of the reception signals and the measured power of the pilot signals; modify either a threshold or a value of the measured signal quality of the reception signals, based on the measured power of the first subcarrier, and the measured power of the second subcarrier, and a number of second subcarriers mapped between two successive first subcarriers; based on the modified threshold or the modified value of the measured signal quality of the reception signals, determine whether to transmit a measurement report; and transmit a measurement report when it is determined that the measurement report is to be transmitted.
