Patent ID: 8000405

Claim:
A transmission method comprising: outputting, from a transmission apparatus with a plurality of antennas, one of a first data sequence comprising a first plurality of signals representing a same data and a second data sequence comprising a second plurality of signals representing varying data, the one of the first data sequence and the second data sequence being output according to a frame generation instruction signal including a symbol reporting a method of transmitting transmission signals; selecting, from a plurality of modulation schemes, a modulation scheme for modulating the first data sequence or the second data sequence, and modulating one of the first data sequence and the second data sequence using the selected modulation scheme; and transmitting the modulated first data sequence or the modulated second data sequence from the plurality of antennas, wherein the one of the first data sequence and the second data sequence that is output is selected using a first time interval that is longer than a second time interval that is used to select the modulation scheme.
