以下、本実施の形態に係る無線通信システムの構成について説明する。この無線通信システムでは、上記各態様に係る無線通信方法が適用される。なお、上記各態様に係る無線通信方法は、それぞれ単独で適用されてもよいし、少なくとも2つを組み合わせて適用されてもよい。
図14は、本実施の形態に係る無線基地局の全体構成の一例を示す図である。無線基地局10は、複数の送受信アンテナ101と、アンプ部102と、送受信部103と、ベースバンド信号処理部104と、呼処理部105と、伝送路インターフェース106とを備えている。なお、送受信アンテナ101、アンプ部102、送受信部103は、それぞれ1つ以上を含むように構成されてもよい。
図16は、本実施の形態に係るユーザ端末の全体構成の一例を示す図である。ユーザ端末20は、MIMO伝送のための複数の送受信アンテナ201と、アンプ部202と、送受信部203と、ベースバンド信号処理部204と、アプリケーション部205と、を備えている。
なお、上記実施形態の説明に用いたブロック図は、機能単位のブロックを示している。これらの機能ブロック(構成部)は、ハードウェア及び/又はソフトウェアの任意の組み合わせによって実現される。また、各機能ブロックの実現方法は特に限定されない。すなわち、各機能ブロックは、物理的及び/又は論理的に結合した1つの装置を用いて実現されてもよいし、物理的及び/又は論理的に分離した2つ以上の装置を直接的及び/又は間接的に(例えば、有線及び/又は無線を用いて)接続し、これら複数の装置を用いて実現されてもよい。
なお、本明細書において説明した用語及び/又は本明細書の理解に必要な用語については、同一の又は類似する意味を有する用語と置き換えてもよい。例えば、チャネル及び/又はシンボルは信号(シグナリング)であってもよい。また、信号はメッセージであってもよい。参照信号は、RS(Reference Signal)と略称することもでき、適用される標準によってパイロット(Pilot)、パイロット信号などと呼ばれてもよい。また、コンポーネントキャリア(CC:Component Carrier)は、セル、周波数キャリア、キャリア周波数などと呼ばれてもよい。
