Abstract: Provided is a base station device capable of reducing a DL-CSI feedback amount in a TDD type radio communication system in which a DL bandwidth is different from a UL bandwidth. In this device, a demultiplexing unit (133) separates an UL pilot, a DL-CQI, and a DL-CSI fed back from a plurality of UEs as communication partners; a channel estimation unit (134) performs channel sounding by using a UL pilot from a UE in which a DL channel and a UL channel are allocated by overlapping a part of the bandwidth so as to obtain UL-CSI; a control DL-CSI acquisition unit (135) performs interpolation of DL-CSI by using the DL-CSI of some RB contained in the bandwidth where the DL channel and the UL channel fed back from the UE are not overlapped; and a DL close loop control unit (104) combines the estimated UL-CSI and the interpolated DL-CSI so as to use them as DL-CSI for controlling the DL close loop.

Abstract: A wireless communication system enabling multihop communication while maintaining the system throughput and preventing degradation of the user throughput. In the system, a BS (base station) determines the relaying method (whether an RS performs reproduction relay or nonreproduction relay) of the RS (relaying station) and the MCS of multihop communication according to the reception quality (the line quality among an MS2, the RS, and the BS) of the pilot for nonreproduction relay, the reception quality (the line quality between the RS and the BS) of the pilot 2 for reproduction relay, and the line quality (the line quality between the MS2 and the RS) measured at the RS. The determination result is transmitted as relay information to the RS and to the MS2 (a mobile station (2)) through the RS. The MS2 encodes and modulates the uplink data with the MCS based on the relay information and transmits the data to the RS.
