Abstract
In a communication apparatus adopting a MIMO transmission scheme and including M systems (where M is an integer equal to or greater than 2) of transmission circuits and N systems (where N is an integer equal to or greater than 2) of reception circuits, when handover from a first communication channel to a second communication channel takes place during communication of information, part of the transmission circuits and reception circuits are allocated for the establishment of the second communication channel and the rest of transmission circuits and reception circuits are allocated for the retaining of the first communication channel to continue the communication of information.

A communication apparatus adopting a MIMO transmission scheme and including M systems (where M is an integer equal to or greater than 2) of transmission circuits for transmitting signals individually and N systems (where N is an integer equal to or greater than 2) of reception circuits for receiving signals individually,
- the communication apparatus comprising:
- a control circuit that, when handover from a first communication channel to a second communication channel takes place during communication of information, allocates part of the M systems of transmission circuits and part of the N systems of reception circuits for establishment of the second communication channel and allocates the rest of the M systems of transmission circuits and of the N systems of reception circuits for retaining of the first communication channel to continue the communication of information.
