Abstract
In order to effectively reduce power consumption of a terminal in a wireless communication apparatus upon packet communication, the wireless communication apparatus has a plurality of signal processing blocks having different signal processing periods; a buffer memory which links the signal processing blocks; and a clock control part which supplies or suspends a clock signal to each block. Each of the signal processing blocks watches whether or not there is data to be processed in the subsequent signal processing block. Based on the watched result, the clock control part controls an operation to supply or suspend the clock signal to the subsequent signal processing block.
