Patent ID: 8060032

Claim:
A wireless communication device for performing wireless communication, comprising: an antenna section for transmitting and receiving a radio signal; a wireless controller for converting the receive radio signal to a receive baseband signal and converting a transmit baseband signal to the radio signal, the wireless controller including a wireless communication interface for controlling transfer of the receive baseband signal converted from the receive radio signal and reception of the transmit baseband signal; and a baseband controller for processing the transmit baseband signal and the receive baseband signal, the baseband controller including a baseband communication interface connected to the wireless communication interface by a communication line, for controlling transfer/reception of the transmit and receive baseband signals, a memory, and a logic circuit for variably setting a bit rate of the communication line, wherein the memory stores applicable bit rates for the communication line in association with respective different radio frequencies of the receive radio signal, and wherein the logic circuit reads, from the memory, a bit rate corresponding to the frequency of the receive radio signal and sets the read bit rate as a transfer rate between the wireless communication interface and the baseband communication interface.
