Abstract
A radio communication apparatus includes a characteristic data extraction unit receiving a radio signal from one or more radio stations and calculating characteristic data representing a waveform characteristic indicating statistical properties of the received signal; a characteristic data determination unit determining at least one characteristic data based on one or more calculated characteristic data; a signal generation unit converting a signal for a radio transmission into a signal having a format corresponding to the determined characteristic data, and generating a transmission signal having a characteristic waveform based on the characteristic data; and a transmission unit transmitting the transmission signal.
