A receiving section (102) performs a wireless receiving processing over a signal that is received through a receiving antenna (101), and output thereof to a propagation path compensation section (103) and an interference compensation section (104). The propagation path compensation section (103) conducts a propagation path compensation for the received signal, based on the result of the propagation path estimation. The interference compensation section (104) performs a propagation path estimation, and output this results to a controller section (105), and also performs a MIMO separation processing and output the separated received signals to a selecting section (106). The selecting section (106) selects one of the signals output from the propagation path compensation section (103) and the interference compensation section (104) under the control of the controller section (105) and output thereof. The controller section (105) controls the selecting section (106), based on the result of the propagation path estimation. A demodulating section (107) and a decoding section (108) performs a demodulating and decoding of the received signals. Having this configuration, in MIMO communication, an error rate characteristic in the receiving side can be improved even under the environment, in which an interference compensation error becomes larger. |
