Abstract:
1. A multicarrier communication apparatus configured for transmitting a multicarrier signal, the multicarrier communication apparatus comprising: a subcarrier group determination section that calculates an inter-subcarrier correlation value based on first channel information per subcarrier, and determines a number of subcarriers that compose one subcarrier group according to the calculated inter-subcarrier correlation value; a transmission weight generation section that generates a transmission weight per subcarrier based on the first channel information per subcarrier and a reception weight per subcarrier group having the determined number of subcarriers; a weighting section that performs weighting by multiplying a corresponding subcarrier by the generated transmission weight to generate a weighted multicarrier signal; and a transmitting section that transmits the weighted multicarrier signal to a receiving communication apparatus.
