A data retransmission method, providing a practical ARQ (Automatic Repeat request) scheme in multicarrier communication such as OFDM. According to this method, all the carriers (i.e. subcarriers) are divided into a number of groups in advance, and these groups serve as the unit of data retransmission. An error detection code is attached on a per transmission symbol basis and transmission is performed, and, when mobile terminal apparatus 100 at the receiving end detects an error, subcarrier information obtainer 130 counts the number of carriers having received level below predetermined standard on a per group basis, and makes the group having the count value above a threshold level subject to retransmission request.
