Thus, transmission processing is required. For this reason, the transmitting station performs MU-MIMO transmission processing, so-called precoding, according to the spatial channel information.
- Non-Patent Document 6 in a system using frequency division duplex (FDD), since the spatial channel information is estimated at the receiving station, the transmitting station acquires this spatial channel information from the signal fed back from the receiving station.

If the codebook data is a vector, the receiving station selects the nearest vector from the codebook according to the estimated spatial channel, and feeds back the index corresponding to this vector to the base station.

- FDD frequency division duplex
- the codebook is composed of a finite number of candidate vectors, even if the receiving station selects a candidate vector that is closest to the estimated actual spatial channel vector, there is an error with the actual spatial channel. Since the transmitting station regards the nearest candidate vector as an actual spatial channel and performs MIMO / MU-MIMO processing, system performance deteriorates due to an error between the actual spatial channel and the candidate vector.
- the problem to be solved by the present invention is system performance degradation caused by an error between the actual spatial channel and the candidate vector.
