| 1. A wireless communication apparatus for communicating in an autonomous distributed wireless network, comprising:
a detection unit which generates a detection signal by detecting a first wireless signal from a first wireless apparatus;
a wireless circuit which receives a second wireless signal relating to said first wireless signal, transmitted from a second
wireless apparatus which received said first wireless signal;
a signal estimation unit which estimates said detection signal and the received second wireless signal;
a signal selector which selects either said detection signal or the received second wireless signal, based on an estimation
result of said signal estimation unit;
a combination unit which combines said detection signal with the received second wireless signal;
a diversity switch which selects whether the detection signal and the second wireless signal are supplied to either of the
signal selector or the combining unit; and
a demodulator which demodulates either of the signal selected by said signal selector or the signal selected by the diversity
switch.
