Claim:
1. A transmission apparatus, comprising: first to M-th transmission antennas, where M is a natural number≧2; first to L-th encoders, where L is a natural number≧2; and first to M-th transmission signal generators, wherein the l-th encoder, l being an arbitrary natural number between 1 and L, receives an l-th symbol sequence and generates first to M-th encoded symbol sequences by encoding the received l-th symbol sequence according to an l-th multiple antenna transmission scheme of multiple antenna transmission schemes, wherein the multiple antenna transmission schemes include a scheme for enabling a first receiver having a first reception antenna to perform decoding, and a scheme for enabling a second receiver having a plurality of second reception antennas to perform decoding, and wherein the m-th transmission signal generator, m being an arbitrary natural number between 1 and M, combines m-th encoded symbol sequences generated by the encoders to generate a signal to be transmitted via the m-th transmission antenna.
