WIRELESS COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, BASEBAND PROCESSING APPARATUS, RADIO APPARATUS AND COMMUNICATION CONTROL METHOD

The delay from when control information is obtained, until processing is performed is suppressed. A radio communication apparatus (10) includes a baseband processing unit (11) and a radio unit (12). The baseband processing unit (11) transmits, to the radio unit (12), first data indicating a plurality of candidates for instructions corresponding to a plurality of values to be taken by the control information before obtaining the control information on radio communication. Furthermore, the baseband processing unit (11) transmits, to the radio unit (12), second data for identifying the instruction corresponding to the value of the obtained control information of the plurality of candidates for instructions, after obtaining the control information. The radio unit (12) performs processing in accordance with the instruction identified by the received second data of the plurality of candidates for instructions indicated by the received first data.
