APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MAPPING SYMBOL

摘要

PURPOSE: An apparatus and a method for mapping symbol are provided to improve reception performance by using a different mapping method in retransmission from a mapping method in initial transmission. CONSTITUTION: In a device, transmitted-data is encoded and a plurality of information bits and bits are generated(S410). An information bit and redundancy bit are mapped to a symbol in initial transmission according to a first mapping method(S420). The information bit and redundancy bit are mapped to a symbol in retransmission according to a second mapping method(S450). The second mapping method is different from the first mapping method. The reliability of mapping bit through the first mapping method is different from that of the second mapping method.
