Patent ID: 8358721

Claim:
A mobile communication system comprising a transmission apparatus and a reception apparatus, wherein: the transmission apparatus comprises first generation means for coding transmission information and generating a transmission signal by performing modulation using the coding result, second generation means for generating coding data including a plurality of control signals, each of the control signals including control information related to information indicating a method for demodulation corresponding to the modulation and a decoding method corresponding to the coding, third generation means for generating a known reference signal in the reception apparatus, and transmission means for performing wireless transmission of the control signals, the reference signal, and the transmission signal in order of mention, and the reception apparatus comprises reception means for receiving a wireless signal transmitted by the transmission apparatus, first detection means for detecting the control information by performing delay detection of the control signals received by the reception means, channel decoding unit for performing differential decoding on the control signals received by the reception means according to the control information before transmission path estimation, estimation means for performing transmission path estimation on the basis of the reference signal received by the reception means, storage means for buffering the transmission signal, and second detection means for detecting the transmission information by demodulating and decoding a transmission signal stored in the storage means on the basis of the control information detected by the first detection means and the estimation result obtained by the estimation means, wherein the control signals have delay detection and decoding performed thereon before the transmission path estimation by the estimation means is completed, a required buffer capacity of the storage means is reduced.
