Patent ID: 8238856

Claim:
A wireless communicating apparatus, provided with at least two receiving methods of a first receiving method that is used in a propagation path environment in which it is necessary to reduce multi-path interference, and a second receiving method that is used in a propagation path environment in which it is not necessary to reduce the multi-path interference, characterized by comprising: a receiving method determining unit that determines which receiving method of the first receiving method or the second receiving method is to be used to communicate via wireless according to fluctuation in time for the path and the number of the paths; a first determining unit that determines whether or not fluctuation in time for the path is less than a predetermined threshold; and a second determining unit that determines whether or not the number of the paths is less than a predetermined threshold, wherein the receiving method determining unit determines which receiving method of the first receiving method or the second receiving method is to be used to communicate via wireless according to a determination result by the first determining unit and a determination result by the second determining unit.
