US Patent 9350478 Wireless communication system, wireless communication device, and wireless communication method

A wireless communication system includes a first channel state measurer and a second channel state measurer. When a second communication device measures a state of a channel between the second communication device and a first communication device using reference signals transmitted from the first communication device, the first channel measurer is configured to measure a state of the channel including an interference due to a signal transmitted from another first communication device. When measuring the state of the channel between the second communication device and the first communication device using the reference signals transmitted from the first communication device, the second channel state measurer measures the state of the channel while suppressing the interference due to the signal transmitted from the another first communication device. Accordingly, the wireless communication system can generate adequate feedback information both when cooperative communication is performed and when cooperative communication is not performed.
