US Patent 7852814 Transmission control frame generation device and transmission control device

There is provided a transmission control frame generation device capable of reducing the data amount of feedback information while maintaining a high throughput. In this device, an average quality level calculation unit (182) calculates an average SNR value of a plurality of sub-carriers from a plurality of SNR values corresponding to the plurality of sub-carriers. According to an SNR value corresponding to one of the sub-carriers and the average SNR value, a sub-carrier block configuration unit (185) sets the SNR value of the sub-carrier block containing the sub-carrier. A feedback frame generation unit (187) generates a CSI frame used for controlling transmission in the sub-carrier and indicating the value representing the average SNR value and the value representing the SNR value of the sub-carrier block.
