further comprising an interference removing unit to perform
sequential interference removal, wherein
a precoding matrix for setting the receiving apparatus last in order among the receiving apparatuses ordered by the ordering unit as the first receiving apparatus is a matrix for performing the precoding such that received power in fourth receiving apparatuses, which are the receiving apparatuses excluding the first receiving apparatus, is equal to or smaller than the threshold and a precoding matrix for setting the receiving apparatus other than the receiving apparatus last in order among the receiving apparatuses as the first receiving apparatus is a matrix for performing the precoding such that received power in the third receiving apparatuses is equal to or smaller than the threshold, and
the interference removing unit sequentially carries out, as the sequential interference removal, processing for sequentially removing interference that occurs in the receiving apparatuses next in order excluding interference removal processing corresponding to the receiving apparatus in a first place, which is a next place of a last place.
11. The transmitting apparatus according to claim 6 or 7, wherein the ordering unit sets the order to descending order of non-negative eigenvalues or non-negative singular values of transmission line matrixes between the transmitting apparatus and the receiving apparatuses.
12. The transmitting apparatus according to claim 6 or 7, wherein the ordering unit sets the order to ascending order
of non-negative eigenvalues or non-negative singular values of transmission line matrixes between the transmitting apparatus and the receiving apparatuses.
13. A receiving apparatus that receives signals transmitted from the transmitting apparatus according to any one of claims 1 to 12, the receiving apparatus comprising a decoder to extract a desired signal from the signals received from the transmitting apparatus.
14. A control station in a communication system capable of forming a plurality of beams respectively directed to a plurality of receiving apparatuses by a plurality of transmission antennas mounted on a plurality of transmitting apparatuses, the control station comprising:
a precoder calculation unit to calculate a precoding matrix for performing precoding such that received power in third receiving apparatuses, which are the receiving apparatuses excluding a first receiving apparatus serving as a transmission destination of a transmission signal among the receiving apparatuses and a second receiving apparatus, which is one of the receiving apparatuses, is equal to or smaller than a threshold, and
a transceiver to transmit the precoding matrix to the transmitting apparatuses.
15. A transmission precoding method in a transmitting
apparatus including a plurality of transmission antennas
capable of forming a plurality of beams respectively
directed to a plurality of receiving apparatuses, the
transmission precoding method comprising:
a first step of determining a first receiving apparatus, which is the receiving apparatus serving as a
transmission destination of a transmission signal, and second receiving apparatuses, which is the receiving apparatuses other than the first receiving apparatus; and
a second step of performing precoding on signals transmitted from the transmission antennas such that received power in third receiving apparatuses, which are the receiving apparatuses excluding the first receiving apparatus and the second receiving apparatuses is equal to or smaller than a threshold.
