Radio communication terminal, base station, radio communication method and radio communication system

A radio communication method for a radio communication terminal to perform radio communication with a base station by adopting Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access scheme using a frame including data signals and reference signals used for correction of the data signals, comprising the steps of:

• correcting the data signals included in a received frame from the base station by using the reference signals included in the received frame;
• determining whether it is possible to perform good radio communication with the base station based on information included in the received frame;
• generating a transmission frame having a reduced number of reference signals if it is determined that it is possible to perform good radio communication with the base station at the step of determining, said number of reference signals being based on a state of the radio communication with the base station;
• and
• transmitting the transmission frame including the reduced number of reference signals generated at the step of generating as a notification signal to the base station, said notification signal being a transmission frame in which a predetermined reference signal is replaced with a null signal, wherein
• at the step of correcting, the data signals are corrected by using the reference signals included in the received frame in which at least one reference signal is replaced with a data signal by the base station in response to the notification signal.
