WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE THAT IMPLEMENTS BEAMFORMING

A wireless communication device that implements beamforming includes: a storage, a processor, and a radio circuit. The storage stores directivity information that indicates a directivity of a radio intensity obtained when beams are formed in a plurality of main lobe directions designated in advance. The processor calculates, based on the directivity information, an interference to a first beam from a second beam when an instruction to form the first beam and the second beam is given. The first beam is configured to transmit a first signal in a first main lobe direction. The second beam is configured to transmit a second signal in a second main lobe direction. The processor generates, based on the calculated interference, a cancellation signal for canceling the second signal in the first main lobe direction. The radio circuit transmits the first signal and the cancellation signal.
