A wireless communication control method suppresses interference using an MMSE weight in an environment of wireless communication where the number of transmission stations transmitting a signal to a receiving station is larger than the number of reception antennas of the receiving station. The receiving station calculates power of an interference signal included in a signal received by the receiving station from the transmission stations the number of which is larger than the number of reception antennas, the interference signal corresponding to a part by which the number of transmission stations exceeds the number of reception antennas. The receiving station calculates the MMSE weight depending on the power of the interference signal, recalculates the power of the interference signal using the MMSE weight, and recalculates the MMSE weight depending on the recalculated power of the interference signal.
