1. A wireless communication method using a wireless transmitter and a wireless receiver that support at least two multi-level modulation schemes,
the at least two multi-level modulation schemes including a first modulation scheme and a second modulation scheme, and
the wireless transmitter including a power amplifier that varies transmission power, the wireless communication method comprising:
calculating, by the wireless transmitter, a first estimated constellation predicted to occur when a signal modulated using the first modulation scheme is amplified by the power amplifier at desired transmission power, on the basis of input/output characteristics of the power amplifier;
calculating, by the wireless transmitter, a second estimated constellation predicted to occur when a signal modulated using the second modulation scheme is amplified by the power amplifier at the desired transmission power, on the basis of the input/output characteristics;
calculating, by the wireless transmitter, a first estimated Euclidean distance, which is a characteristic value of an inter-symbol distance in the first estimated constellation;
calculating, by the wireless transmitter, a second estimated Euclidean distance, which is a characteristic value of an inter-symbol distance in the second estimated constellation;
selecting, by the wireless transmitter, a modulation scheme that generates a longer one of the first estimated Euclidean distance and the second estimated Euclidean distance as a scheme used for communication;
commanding, by the wireless transmitter, the wireless reception device receiver to perform communication using the selected modulation scheme; and
communicating, by the wireless receiver, with the wireless transmitter using the commanded modulation scheme.
