Patent ID: 7356004

Claim:
A mobile communication system comprising: a transmitting station; and a receiving station, wherein said transmitting station comprises: a plurality of modulators; an encoder which encodes data to transmit into a code word, separates the code word into a plurality of signals, and outputs the plurality of signals to said plurality of modulators; a plurity of antennas; and an operation unit which performs beam forming of transmit signals modulated by said plurality of modulators in order to transmit the transmit signals from the plurality of antennas, and wherein said receiving station comprises: a plurality of antennas which respectively receive the signals transmitted from said plurality of antennas of said transmitting station; a Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) receiver which separates said plurality of signals from the signals input from said plurality of antennas; a plurality of demodulators which demodulate the plurality of signals output from said MIMO receiver; and a decoder which decodes said plurality of demodulated signals.
