Summary:A data rate in MIMO transmission is increased to a maximum even when the number of transmitting antennas of a mobile station apparatus is different from the number of transmitting antennas of the mobile station apparatus supported by a base station apparatus. The base station apparatus (eNodeB) reports the maximum number of supported antennas of the mobile station apparatus (UE) supported by the base station apparatus (eNodeB) to the mobile station apparatus (UE) (ST11). The mobile station apparatus (UE) compares the number of supported antennas with the number of transmitting antennas of the mobile station apparatus (UE), selects the smaller number of antennas as a number of virtual antennas (ST12), and reports the number of virtual antennas to the base station apparatus (eNodeB) (ST13). The base station apparatus (eNodeB) instructs the mobile station apparatus to transmit a data channel signal in accordance with the number of virtual antennas (ST15). The mobile station apparatus (UE) transmits a data channel signal to the base station apparatus (eNodeB) in accordance with the number of virtual antennas (ST20).
