Patent ID: 8073065

Claim:
A radio transmitting apparatus that transmits a multicarrier signal comprised of a plurality of subcarriers, the apparatus comprising: an encoding section that encodes a transmission bit to generate a first bit sequence, the first bit sequence comprising a systematic bit and a parity bit, the parity bit being a repetition source; a repetition section that repeats the parity bit in a plurality of bits included in the first bit sequence to generate a second bit sequence, the second bit sequence comprising a first parity bit and a second parity bit, the first parity bit corresponding to the repetition source, and the second parity bit being generated by the repetition; a modulation section that modulates the second bit sequence to generate a plurality of first symbols from the first parity bit and the second parity bit, the first symbols being the same as second symbols that are generated only from the first parity bit; and a generating section that generates the multicarrier signal by mapping the plurality of the 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 transmitting apparatuses.
