Patent ID: 8223041

Claim:
An information processing apparatus comprising: a distributor to distribute input data in units of M bits and to generate N M-bit bit sequences; an encoding unit to convert each of the N bit sequences distributed by the distributor into a binary symbol sequence of K symbols and to generate N binary symbol sequences; a signal generation unit to generate N transmission signals Sj (j=1 to N) synchronized with a specific symbol clock and having, as an amplitude value, each symbol value included in the N binary symbol sequences; a signal delay unit to delay, with regard to j (j=1 to N), the transmission signals Sj generated by the signal generation unit by a (j−1)/N-symbol period and to generate delay signals Rj; a signal addition unit to add that adds the delay signals Rj (j=1 to N) generated by the signal delay unit and to generate an added signal; and a signal transmitting unit to transmit the added signal generated by the signal addition unit.
