Abstract

La présente invention empêche de manière appropriée des réductions du débit dans les communications qui utilisent la formation de faisceau. Un terminal d'utilisateur selon un mode de réalisation de la présente invention communique avec une station de base en utilisant un deuxième faisceau après l'utilisation d'un premier faisceau, et il est caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte une unité de commande destinée à effectuer une commande de telle sorte que des informations de canal de propagation de liaison montante concernant la station de base sont acquises, une unité de réception destinée à recevoir un signal de liaison descendante, et une unité de mesure destinée à mesurer le signal de liaison descendante reçu, et en ce que l'unité de commande effectue une commande de telle sorte que des informations de canal de propagation de liaison montante pour le deuxième faisceau sont acquises en se basant sur les résultats de la mesure pour un premier signal, les résultats de la mesure pour un deuxième signal et les résultats de la mesure pour un troisième signal, et le premier signal, le deuxième signal et le troisième signal sont tous émis depuis la station de base en utilisant le premier faisceau.
