MULTI-CARRIER TRANSMISSION DEVICE AND MULTI-CARRIER TRANSMISSION METHOD

摘要

There is provided a multi-carrier transmission device capable of improving a packet error ratio in a system where transmission data is repeatedly multi-carrier-transmitted. In this device, the transmission data is subjected to error correction encoding in an error correction encoding unit (102), modulation in a modulation unit (104), and repetition in a repetition unit (106). A signal after the repetition (repetition bit) is two-dimensionally mapped in the frequency domain and the time domain according to a predetermined pattern in a mapping unit (108). The repetition bit transmission power is controlled so that the total value of the transmission power of repetition bit constituting one bit is identical to all the bits and the repetition bit of preferable reception quality has a large transmission power while the repetition bit of bad reception quality has a small transmission power.
