Mobile station device and communication partner selection method
View Patent ↗It is possible to surely improve the throughput in a handover area in the MIMO communication and increase the cell coverage. Channel estimation units ( 104 - 1, 104 - 2 ) perform a channel estimation by using a common pilot signal transmitted from each base station device and acquire a channel matrix for each cell. Singular value decomposition processing units ( 105 - 1, 105 - 2 ) perform singular value decomposition processing by using a channel matrix corresponding to each cell. Channel capacity calculation units ( 106 - 1, 106 - 2 ) compare a singular value for each path to a threshold value and calculate the number of singular values above a predetermined threshold value as the channel capacity. A cell selection unit ( 107 ) compares the channel capacity sizes and selects a base station device corresponding to a greater channel capacity.
