Wireless communication apparatus, mobile terminal and wireless communication method

Abstract

Provided are a frequency channel allocating section () that allocates frequency channels, a terminal reception quality information processing section () that calculates an optimal modulation rate and required transmit power for each subcarrier, a subcarrier power control section () that controls a level of transmit power for each subcarrier, and a determining section () that checks a reception bandwidth of a communicating apparatus, while determining whether the communicating apparatus is a full band terminal capable of receiving all the frequency channels in the system band or is a limited band terminal capable of receiving only part of frequencies, and when the communicating apparatus is the limited band terminal, the transmit power of all or part of subcarriers is decreased in a frequency channel that is adjacent to a reception band allocated to the communicating apparatus and that is allocated to another communicating apparatus.
