A wireless communication apparatus capable of raising the throughput in a multicarrier communication. In the wireless communication apparatus, a subcarrier block deciding part ( 207 ) decides the number of subcarriers per subcarrier block in accordance with a fading frequency notified through a notification signal. The greater the fading frequency Deltaf is, the greater number of subcarriers per subcarrier block is decided by the subcarrier block deciding part ( 207 ). That is, the greater the fading frequency Deltaf is, the smaller number of subcarriers included in each of OFDM symbols is established by the subcarrier block deciding part ( 207 ). An MCS deciding part ( 209 ) decides, based on CQI notified through a notification signal, an MCS level for each subcarrier block.
