Abstract:
To provide a communication apparatus and a communication method capable of simultaneously directing main beams to reception stations and transmission stations the numbers of which exceed the number N of RF systems provided to the communication apparatus itself. The communication apparatus according to the present invention includes a transmission unit configured to generate non-orthogonal multiplexed signals including downlink signals addressed to multiple terminal apparatuses, an antenna capable of forming an antenna directivity pattern including multiple main beams, and a transmission beam control unit configured to generate a signal controlling the antenna directivity pattern, wherein the non-orthogonal multiplexed signals are simultaneously transmitted by use of the multiple main beams, and the number of main beams included in the antenna directivity pattern is more than the number of RF systems of the antenna.

Claim (Index 13):
The communication apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the transmission beam control unit acquires information controlling the antenna directivity pattern.
