Radio communication terminal and interference canceling method

Abstract

In a radio communication terminal apparatus or an interference cancellation method a known signal is adopted as a common midamble, transmitting selection diversity which applied in a CDMA radio communication system in which a BS carries out communications with a MS provided with MUD, and interference from other users and fading influences are mitigated. The signal transmitted from base station apparatus 101 which is provided with a plurality of antenna branches and performs transmitting selection diversity is received, in symbol power calculating section 150, the symbol power of all codes excluding the code assigned to the radio communication terminal apparatus is calculated for every antenna branch, in code number detecting section 208, interference code number is detected for every antenna branch based on a known signal included in the receiving signal, in interference code selecting section 209, interference code corresponding to the detected interference code number is selected for every antenna branch based on the calculated symbol power, and interference caused by the selected interference code is cancelled by interference cancellation processing in MUD 210.
