Abstract
This access point comprises: a control circuit in which, in a control signal including common information common to a plurality of terminals and terminal-specific information specific to a plurality of terminals, one piece of terminal-specific information includes control information instructing to transmit or receive, using different spatial streams, data equal to or less than a prescribed number to which a different modulation encoding method is applied; and a transmission circuit that transmits the control signal.
Claims18
An access point, comprising:
- control circuitry, which, in operation, includes, in a control signal including terminal-common information common to a plurality of terminals and terminal-specific information specific to each of the plurality of terminals, control information in one piece of the terminal-specific information, the control information indicating that data which are less than or equal to a predetermined number and to which modulation and coding schemes different from each other are applied, are transmitted or received using spatial streams different from each other;
- and
- transmission circuitry, which, in operation, transmits the control signal.
A terminal, comprising:
- reception circuitry, which, in operation, receives a control signal including terminal-common information common to a plurality of terminals and terminal-specific information specific to each of the plurality of terminals, the control signal including, in one piece of the terminal-specific information, control information indicating that data which are less than or equal to a predetermined number and to which modulation and coding schemes different from each other are applied, are transmitted or received using spatial streams different from each other;
- and
- control circuitry, which, in operation, controls transmission or reception of the data based on the control signal.
A communication method, comprising:
- including, by an access point, in a control signal including terminal-common information common to a plurality of terminals and terminal-specific information specific to each of the plurality of terminals, control information in one piece of the terminal-specific information, the control information indicating that data which are less than or equal to a predetermined number and to which modulation and coding schemes different from each other are applied, are transmitted or received using spatial streams different from each other;
- and
- transmitting, by the access point, the control signal.
A communication method, comprising:
- receiving, by a terminal, a control signal including terminal-common information common to a plurality of terminals and terminal-specific information specific to each of the plurality of terminals, the control signal including, in one piece of the terminal-specific information, control information indicating that data which are less than or equal to a predetermined number and to which modulation and coding schemes different from each other are applied, are transmitted or received using spatial streams different from each other;
- and
- controlling, by the terminal, transmission or reception of the data based on the control signal.
