[Problem] To provide a wireless communication device and a wireless communication method with which reliability of transmission data can be improved or a high transmission rate can be realized without newly adding an antenna. [Means for solving the problems] A wireless communication device which has a MIMO function conforming to a predetermined wireless standard and includes a plurality of communication terminals which can communicate with a base station incorporating the MIMO function includes a master communication terminal which is any one of the plurality of communication terminals and a slave communication terminal which is connected to the master communication terminal via predetermined connection means and is one or more communication terminals other than the master communication terminal among the plurality of communication terminals, and wherein, a configuration in which a part of or all signal processing functions that relate to transmission and reception of one or more antennas incorporated in one or more slave communication terminals can be controlled from the master communication terminal is used and whereby, a configuration in which the number of antennas can be arbitrarily increased is implemented and a protocol for call connection is performed only between the base station and the master communication terminal. |
