1. A digital wireless communication method comprising:
- mapping a pilot symbol on a one of first signal points in a signal space diagram;
mapping a specific symbol on a one of second signal points in a signal space diagram,the second signal point of the mapped specific symbol being different from the first signal point, one of an in-phase and quadrature components of the specific symbols being zero;
mapping a data symbol on a one of third signal points in a signal space diagram, the third signal points being different from the first signal point of the mapped pilot symbol and the second signal point of the mapped specific symbol; and
inserting the specific symbol into immediately before or after the pilot symbol.

Abstract
In a multivalue modulation type with one pilot symbol inserted for every 3 or more symbols, signal points of each one symbol immediately before and after a pilot symbol are modulated using a modulation type different from that for pilot symbols. In this way, it is possible to suppress deterioration of the accuracy in estimating the reference phase and amount of frequency offset by pilot symbols and improve the bit error rate characteristic in the signal to noise ratio in quasi-coherent detection with symbols whose symbol synchronization is not completely established.
