Abstract:
1. A mobile communication terminal for performing reception and transmission using an adaptive array method, the mobile communication terminal being provided with (a) a plurality of antennas, (b) reception means for forming a directivity pattern for receiving a desired reception signal from a base station and receiving the reception signal from the base station using the formed directivity pattern, and (c) transmission means for transmitting at least one of a transmission signal using the directivity pattern formed in reception and an omnidirectional transmission signal, the mobile communication terminal comprising: detection means for detecting a reception error in the reception signal; and transmission control means for controlling the transmission means, wherein when the detection means detects the reception error in the reception signal the transmitted transmission signal is the omnidirectional transmission signal and when the detection means does not detect the reception error, the transmission signal is transmitted in the directivity pattern formed in reception.
