Radio communication apparatus and transmission rate control method
DC CAFCFirst Claim
1. A radio communication apparatus having radio transmitting means and radio receiving means, said apparatus comprising:
- transmission power control means for increasing or decreasing transmission power of said transmitting means according to transmission power control information received by said receiving means;
average transmission power calculating means for calculating an average value of the transmission power of said transmitting means;
allowable transmission power holding means for holding a predetermined allowable transmission power value;
comparing means for comparing the average value with the allowable transmission power value; and
rate changing means for changing a transmission rate according to the comparison result in said comparing means.

Abstract
The communication terminal apparatus measures reception quality and reports the measurement result to the base station apparatus, and the base station apparatus switches the transmission rate based on the reported result of the reception quality. In this way, the transmission rate is switched starting at the point in time at which the reception quality of the communication terminal apparatus deteriorates. Furthermore, the transmission rate is switched so that the amount of interference with others is within the allowable range according to the channel condition between the communication terminal apparatus and base station apparatus.
