Abstract
While suppressing a power consumption of an aerial-floating type communication relay apparatus, an interference in a multi-feeder link of a same frequency between the communication relay apparatus and plural gateway (GW) stations is suppressed. A relay communication station of the communication relay apparatus performs a first interference suppression process and a second interference suppression process by switching therebetween. The first interference suppression process suppresses an interference signal that causes an interference by a transmission signal transmitted from a gateway station and received with a directional beam corresponding to another gateway station, by using a propagation path response estimated with one frequency in a transmission signal band as an estimation frequency based on a reception result of a pilot signal without dividing a transmission signal band of a feeder link. The second interference suppression process divides a transmission signal band of a feeder link into plural divided frequency bands, and suppresses the interference signal by using a propagation path response estimated with one frequency in the divided frequency band as an estimation frequency based on a reception result of a pilot signal, for each of the divided frequency bands.
