Abstract

To suitably transmit feedback information for rank adaptation and precoding in uplink MIMO transmission to a user apparatus as feedback, a base station apparatus (200) is characterized by having a precoding weight/rank number selecting section (232) that determines rank information associated with the number of layers of spatial multiplexing in uplink, while determining a control amount of a transmission phase and/or transmission amplitude used in weighting for transmission antennas of a user apparatus, and transmission/reception sections (206a), (206b) that transmit the rank information determined in the precoding weight/rank number selecting section (232) to a mobile station (100) using an RRC signal, while transmitting the control amount to the mobile station (100) using a control channel signal.
