Wireless communication system
View Patent ↗A wireless communication system is disclosed including a MIMO wireless communication apparatus that can communicate through multiple antennas and a non-MIMO wireless communication apparatus that can communicate through a single antenna or multiple antennas. The MIMO wireless communication apparatus includes a communication unit configured to transmit and receive control information divided into a second control information containing information related to the demodulation and decoding of traffic channel and a first control information containing information related to the MIMO separation of the second control information.
1. A wireless communication apparatus, comprising:
a transmitter that transmits to another wireless communication apparatus, first control information, second control information to which first transmission processing in accordance with the first control information is applied, and data to which second transmission processing in accordance with at least the second control information is applied,
wherein transmission processing in accordance with the first control information is further applied to the data in addition to the second transmission processing, and
wherein the first control information includes information relating to performing Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO), and the second control information includes Hybrid-ARQ process information, redundancy and constellation version information, and transport block size information.
2. The wireless communication apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first control information includes information indicating whether the second control information is to be MIMO multiplexed.
3. A wireless communication system, comprising:
a transmitting apparatus and a receiving apparatus, wherein the transmitting apparatus includes:
a transmitter that transmits to the receiving apparatus, first control information, second control information to which first transmission processing in accordance with the first control information is applied, and data to which second transmission processing in accordance with at least the first control information and the second control information is applied, and wherein the receiving apparatus includes:
a receiver that receives the first control information, the second control information, and the data, and
wherein the first control information includes information relating to performing Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO), and the second control information includes Hybrid-ARQ process information, redundancy and constellation version information, and transport block size information.
