Then, control section 310 detects the propagation path fluctuation with radio communication apparatus 400 using this “propagation path fluctuation measurement result”, and determines “the degree of propagation path fluctuation”. Then, according to “the degree of propagation path fluctuation”, control unit 310 changes the frame generation command signal output to frame generation unit 120 to change frame aggregation (aggregation) and frame fragmentation in frame generation unit 120.

- the aggregation frame and the fragmentation frame are used for feedback information (for example, pilot carrier or data subcarrier (for example, CTS (Clear to Send)) from radio communication apparatus 200 used in radio communication apparatus 100 of the first embodiment. Since the signal is longer than the frame or other feedback information, etc.)), it can be used for measurement on the receiver side, so that the condition of the propagation path can be grasped more accurately.
- frame aggregation (aggregation) and frame fragmentation (division) can be switched accurately, improving the overall system throughput.
- the propagation path information acquisition unit 311 obtains “a propagation path fluctuation measurement result” transmitted from the radio communication apparatus 400 described later from the output signal of the decoding unit 180. This “propagation channel fluctuation measurement result” is output to the frame generation control unit 312.
- the frame generation control unit 312 Based on the propagation path fluctuation measurement result, the frame generation control unit 312 obtains an absolute value of “propagation path fluctuation speed” from the absolute value of the slope, and uses this as a “propagation path fluctuation index”.

- radio communication apparatus 400 includes propagation path fluctuation measurement unit 410, An ACK frame generation unit 420.
- Propagation path fluctuation measurement section 410 demodulates the output signal of OFDM demodulation section 210 of the signal transmitted from radio communication apparatus 300, that is, for example, the aggregation frame and fragmentation frame transmitted from radio communication apparatus 300. Then, a graph showing the state of propagation path fluctuations such as received power over time, that is, a “path fluctuation measurement result” is created (see Fig. 3 and Fig. 4). This “measurement result of propagation path fluctuation” is output to ACK frame generation section 420.
- the ACK frame generation unit 420 receives the ACK transmission command signal and the NACK transmission command signal, and generates an ACK frame according to the input signal. At this time, a propagation path fluctuation measurement result of 410 channels is added to the ACK frame. In this way, the wireless communication apparatus 300 that receives this ACK frame can use the “propagation channel fluctuation measurement result” for switching between the aggregation frame and the fragmentation frame, and the feedback that already exists. By adding the “channel fluctuation measurement result” to the information ACK frame, it is not necessary to prepare a new dedicated frame.

- a control unit 310 that determines the length of the data portion of the transmission frame according to the path fluctuation index is provided.
- the propagation path fluctuation index is large, that is, when the degree of propagation path fluctuation is severe, the length of the data portion is shortened, and when the propagation path fluctuation index is small, that is, when the degree of propagation path fluctuation is moderate, The length of the data portion can be increased. Therefore, when there is a high possibility of a retransmission request from the receiving side with a high degree of propagation path fluctuation, it is possible to prevent a decrease in throughput due to transmission of short and long data, and when a possibility of a retransmission request is low. Long data can be sent to improve throughput. As a result, the wireless communication device 300 and the wireless communication device 400 that improve the throughput of the entire system can be realized.

- the frame transmitted from radio communication apparatus 300 has feedback information (for example, a pilot carrier or a subcarrier for data (for example, a CTS (Clear to Send) frame or other feedback information)) Since it is a longer signal, it is possible to grasp the state of the propagation path more accurately. Therefore, since the propagation path fluctuation index can be obtained accurately, the length of the data portion of the transmission frame can be determined accurately, and the throughput can be improved.
- feedback information for example, a pilot carrier or a subcarrier for data (for example, a CTS (Clear to Send) frame or other feedback information)
- the degree of propagation path variation is determined using feedback information and the like, and the degree of propagation path variation is determined. Switch between frame aggregation and frame fragmentation.
- the present invention is not limited to this, and may switch between frame aggregation and normal transmission, that is, transmission every frame, depending on the degree of propagation path fluctuation. Even if this is done, when the “level of propagation path fluctuation” is large, it is more likely that the transmission side will receive the frame more correctly than the transmission of the aggregation frame. The overall throughput can be improved.
- the wireless communication device 400 generates a propagation path fluctuation measurement result, attaches it to the ACK frame, and feeds it back to the wireless communication device 300.
