Abstract:
A communication method of a base station transmits a modulation signal based on an OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) modulation scheme to a plurality of communication terminals. The method includes forming a transmission frame on which a first subcarrier group and a second subcarrier group are arranged, and determining on a per frame basis, which subcarrier group of the first subcarrier group and the second subcarrier group is allocated to each of the plurality of communication terminals and what number of subcarriers are selected from the subcarrier group that is allocated to each of the plurality of communication terminals. The method further includes forming the transmission frame based on the determined subcarrier group and the determined number of subcarriers, transmitting the modulation signal including the transmission frame, and receiving feedback information including radio propagation condition estimation information from each of the plurality of communication terminals.
Abstract:
A communication apparatus includes a reference signal generating section, a transmitting section, a propagation estimating section, a first data acquiring section, and a decoding section. The reference signal generating section generates a first reference signal to enable a communicating party to estimate a propagation environment. The transmitting section transmits the first reference signal. The propagation estimating section estimates a first propagation estimation value of the propagation environment using a second reference signal transmitted from the communicating party. The first data acquiring section generates first data using the first propagation estimation value. The decoding section decodes a transmission signal encoded using a second propagation estimation value that is estimated by the communicating party using the first reference signal, to obtain second data using the first data.

Abstract:
A transmission frame generating device includes a control information signal generator and a frame former. The control information signal generator generates a modulation method information signal indicating a modulation method of a data signal and an error correction method information signal indicating an error correction method of the data signal. The frame former forms the transmission frame by repeating and discretely arranging the same modulation method information signal on a first multiple of a plurality of subcarriers on a frequency axis and by repeating and discretely arranging the same error correction method information signal on a second multiple of the plurality of the subcarriers on the frequency axis.

Abstract:
Modulated signal A is transmitted from a first antenna, and modulated signal B is transmitted from a second antenna. As modulated signal B, modulated symbols S2(i) and S2(i+1) obtained from different data are transmitted at time i and time i+1 respectively. In contrast, as modulated signal A, modulated symbols S1(i) and S1(i)′ obtained by changing the signal point arrangement of the same data are transmitted at time i and time i+1 respectively. As a result the reception quality can be changed intentionally at time i and time i+1, and therefore using the demodulation result of modulated signal A of a time when the reception quality is good enables both modulated signals A and B to be demodulated with good error rate performances.
