Abstract

To insure the communication quality best suited to the type of data between the transmission system and the receiver. In a wireless communication system for controlling the data communication quality between the transmission system and a mobile wireless terminal via a predetermined communication path. The transmission system changes the modulation system in the data output unit corresponding to the type of contents to be transmitted to the mobile wireless terminal to control the data communication quality.

Claims (33)

1. A data communication quality control system for controlling the data communication quality between a data transmission system to transmit data and a receiver to receive said data from said transmission system Through the predetermined communication path, wherein:

said transmission system;

controls said data communication quality between said transmission system and said receiver by changing the modulation system corresponding to the type of said data to be transmitted to said receiver, and

wherein the transmission system adjusts the volume of the transmitting side data storage to be buffered temporarily in the case of transmitting the data to the receiver corresponding to the type of data to be transmitted to the receiver, and

wherein the receiver is operable to effect a change in the transmitter side data storage volume and control the data communication quality between the transmission system and the receiver by adjusting the receiving side data storage volume to the same data storage volume as the transmitting side data storage volume.

2. The data communication quality control system according to claim 1 , wherein:

said transmission system;

uses the modulation system that can be transmitted at the high transmission speed in the case where the high reliability of said data is not required corresponding to said data type; and

uses the modulation system that can be transmitted at the low transmission speed in the case where the high reliability of said data is required corresponding to said data type.

3. A transmission system for transmitting data responding to the request of the receiver to said receiver, comprising:

system side receiving means for receiving a request from said receiver;

system side transmission means for transmitting said data to said receiver; and

control means for controlling the data communication quality between said transmission system and said receiver by changing the modulation system corresponding to the data type suited to said request,

wherein the transmission system adjusts the volume of the transmitting side data storage to be buffered temporarily in the case of transmitting the data to the receiver corresponding to the type of data to be transmitted to the receiver, and

wherein the receiver is operable to effect a change in the transmitter side data storage volume and control the data communication quality between the transmission system and the receiver by adjusting the receiving side data storage volume to the same data storage volume as the transmitting side data storage volume.

4. The transmission system according to claim 3 , wherein:

said control means;

uses the modulation system that can be transmitted at the high transmission speed in the case where the high reliability of data corresponding to the type of said data is not needed; and

uses the modulation system that can be transmitted at the low transmission speed in the case where the high reliability of data corresponding to the type of said data is required.

5. A receiver for receiving the data requested from the transmission,system, comprising;

receiver side transmission means for transmitting said request to the transmission system; and

receiver side receiving means for receiving said data of which the data communication quality between said transmission system and said receiver is controlled by changing the modulation system corresponding to the type of said data,

wherein the transmission system adjusts the volume of the transmission system data storage to be buffered temporarily in the case of transmitting the data to the receiver corresponding to the type of data to be transmitted to the receiver, and

wherein the receiver is operable to effect a change in the transmitter side data storage volume and control the data communication quality between the transmission system and the receiver by adjusting the receiving side data storage volume to the same data storage volume as the transmitting side data storage volume.

6. The receiver according to claim 5 , wherein:

said receiver side receiving means;

in the case where the high reliability of said data is not required for the type of data requested, it receives said data using the modulation system transmittable at the high transmission speed; and

in the case where the high reliability of said data is required for the type of data requested, it receives said data using the modulation system transmittable at the low transmission speed.

7. A data communication quality control system comprising:

a data transmission system to transmit data and having transmitting side data storage;

a receiver to receive data and having receiving side data storage,

wherein the transmission system adjusts the volume of the transmitting side data storage to be buffered temporarily in the case of transmitting the data to the receiver corresponding to the type of data to be transmitted to the receiver, and

wherein the receiver is operable to effect a change in the transmitter side data storage volume and control the data communication quality between the transmission system and the receiver by adjusting the receiving side data storage volume to the same data storage volume as the transmitting side data storage volume.
