In a wireless communication system, a plurality of base stations each comprise a plurality of cells and a terminal communicates with the base stations. Each of the base stations is equipped with one or a plurality of antennas. The base stations transmit first reference signals that do not overlap with at least those of neighborhood base stations and are unique to the antennas. The terminal receives the first reference signals, estimates the reception powers of the first reference signals transmitted from the respective antennas, selects, based on the estimation results of the reception powers, a plurality of the antennas suitable for communication, and transmits the antenna selection results to the base stations. The base stations refer to the antenna selection results transmitted from the terminal to assign the antennas belonging to the different cells to the terminal and notify the terminal of the results of assigning the antennas.

The present invention suppresses to a minimum the degradation of the transmission quality caused by chromatic dispersion characteristic of an optical transmission medium, and the interplay between the chromatic dispersion and non-linear optical effects in dense WDM transport systems. A baseband input data signal is pre-coded in advance by a pre-coding unit, phase modulation is carried out using a pre-coded signal by the optical phase modulating unit, and the phase modulated optical signal is converted to an RZ intensity modulated signal by the optical filter unit that performs phase-shift-keying to amplitude-shift-keying conversion. For example, an optical phase modulating unit generates an encoded DPSK phase modulated signal using a differential phase shirt keying (DPSK) format, and a phase modulated signal is converted to an RZ intensity modulated signal by the optical filter unit disposed downstream of the optical phase modulating unit.

The present invention makes up for shortages of a central control type and a distributed control type radio communications systems, not only restrains interference of radio stations using the same radio communications system, and also restrain the interference of the surrounding radio stations, thereby effectively using a frequency source. The radio communications system includes a radio station connecting with a network (a network connecting radio station) and a counterparty radio station. The network connecting radio station obtains information A of a radio communication status through the network and transmits to the counterparty radio station. The information A comprises using frequency information of the radio station and waveform characteristic quantity information indicating statistic properties of signal waveforms transmitted by the radio station. The counterparty radio station calculates a measured value of the waveform characteristic quantity of the signal received from another radio station and reports the measured value to the network connecting radio station aiming at each part of the announced waveform characteristic quantity. The network connecting radio station determines whether to communicate or not and a radio source according to the information A and the information reported by the counterparty radio station.

when the SC-FDMA method is used in combination with the multi-antenna transmission technique, a radio transmission method effectively improves the frequency use efficiency by performing appropriate frequency allocation to a plurality of antennas while suppressing degradation of the reception quality caused by interference. In the radio transmission method of the SC-FDMA type, according to the number of terminals simultaneously accessing a base station within a usable frequency band, it is possible to allocate all the transmission signals (transmission stream) to be transmitted by different antennas to different frequency bands or to use the MIMO transmission in combination. Moreover, according to the number of terminals making an access, the number of terminals which perform the MIMO transmission can be varied.
