<p>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 f 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 f 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.</p> |
