Patent ID: 8300521

Claim:
A radio reception apparatus comprising: a receiving section configured to: receive first data modulated using a first modulation scheme and mapped on a first region including a plurality of subcarriers along one of a frequency axis and a time axis, wherein, the first region is defined by the frequency axis and the time axis, and the first modulation scheme is selected from a first plurality of modulation schemes; and receive second data modulated using a second modulation scheme and mapped on a second region including a plurality of subcarriers along the other of the frequency axis and the time axis, wherein the second region is defined by the frequency axis and the time axis and different from the first region, the second modulation scheme is selected from a second plurality of modulation schemes including a modulation order different from a modulation order of the first plurality of modulation schemes; and a demodulating unit configured to demodulate the received first data and the received second data.
