Patent ID: 8422578

Claim:
A radio reception apparatus that receives a transmission signal transmitted from a radio transmission apparatus with a plurality of subcarriers, the reception apparatus comprising: a receiving section that receives the transmission signal, which is generated by the radio transmission apparatus by mapping a plurality of first symbols on the plurality of subcarriers according to a first mapping pattern which is the same as a second mapping pattern of other radio transmission apparatuses; a selecting section that selects the plurality of first symbols according to the first mapping pattern; and an interference cancellation section that cancels an interference signal from the plurality of first symbols, wherein: at the radio transmission apparatus, a transmission bit is encoded to generate a first bit sequence comprising a systematic bit and a parity bit, and the parity bit included in the first bit sequence is repeated to generate a second bit sequence comprising a first parity bit and a second parity bit, the first parity bit corresponding to a repetition source, and the second parity bit being generated by the repetition; and the plurality of first symbols is generated from the first parity bit and the second parity bit by modulating the second bit sequence, the first symbols being the same as second symbols that are generated only from the first parity bit.
