Abstract:
1. A wireless communication apparatus comprising: an MCS setting section that sets an MCS (Modulation and Coding Scheme) for data; an encoding section that encodes the data; an RV (redundancy version) parameter setting section that sets an RV parameter indicating a start position of transmission data to be transmitted in the data; and a transmission processing section that transmits control information, which includes the MCS and RV information indicating the RV parameter, and the transmission data, wherein: when a number of bits of the RV information is two, the RV parameter is set to any one among 0, 1, 2 and 3; and when a number of bits of the RV information is zero, the control information includes no RV information and the RV parameter is set to 0.
