Abstract

A wireless communications system includes a terminal configured to adjust a transmission count of consecutive transmissions of a same data to a base station, based on a radio resource count of radio resources assigned to the terminal, among plural radio resources of a control channel received from the base station; and the base station configured to identify the transmission count based on the radio resource count of the radio resources assigned to the terminal among the plural radio resources of the transmitted control channel, and receive the same data consecutively transmitted by the terminal, based on the identified transmission count.

a relation of the radio resource count and the transmission count includes a correspondence relation, the correspondence relation is a relation where the transmission count becomes greater as the radio resource count becomes greater.

2. The wireless communications system according to claim 1 , wherein

the terminal stores a predetermined correspondence relation of the radio resource count and the transmission count, and adjusts the transmission count based on the correspondence relation, and

the base station stores the correspondence relation, and identifies the transmission count based on the correspondence relation.

3. The wireless communications system according to claim 2 , wherein

the base station changes the correspondence relation based on a difference between a first value indicating wireless communication quality from the base station to the terminal and a second value indicating wireless communication quality from the terminal to the base station, and notifies the terminal of the changed correspondence relation.

4. The wireless communications system according to claim 2 , wherein the correspondence relation is a correspondence relation of the radio resource count and a switching pattern of the transmission count.

5. The wireless communications system according to claim 1 , wherein

the terminal adjusts the transmission count based on a combination of the radio resource count of the assigned radio resources and a state of reordering by the base station with respect to a data string stored in the assigned radio resources, and

the base station identifies the transmission count based on the combination of the radio resource count of the assigned radio resources and the state of the reordering by the base station with respect to the data string stored in the assigned radio resources.

6. The wireless communications system according to claim 5 , wherein,

the terminal adjusts the transmission count based on a predetermined correspondence relation of the transmission count and the combination of the radio resource count and the state of the reordering, and

the base station stores the correspondence relation, and identifies the transmission count based on the correspondence relation.

7. The wireless communications system according to claim 1 , wherein

the terminal adjusts the transmission count based on a combination of the radio resource count of the assigned radio resources and a state of inversion by the base station with respect to a data string stored in the assigned radio resources, and

the base station identifies the transmission count based on the combination of the radio resource count of the assigned radio resources and the state of inversion by the base station with respect to the data string stored in the assigned radio resources.

8. The wireless communications system according to claim 7 , wherein

the terminal stores a predetermined correspondence relation of the state of inversion and the radio resource count, and adjusts the transmission count based on the correspondence relation, and
