Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to both suppress any decrease in data transmission efficiency in a device for transmitting data and suppress any decrease in received data quality in other devices. This communication device performs communication using a frequency band that is can be used in a wireless system, the communication device comprising a signal processing unit for generating a modulated signal, and a transmission unit for transmitting the modulated signal. The frequency band that can be used in the wireless system is configured from a plurality of channels. The transmission unit transmits the modulated signal using a first channel among the plurality of channels in a first time slot, and transmits the modulated signal using a second channel different from the first channel in a second time slot that follows the first time slot.

Claims (45)

the transmitter

transmits the modulation signal in a first time period using a first channel of the plurality of channels, and

transmits the modulation signal in a second time period following the first time period using a second channel different from the first channel.

2 . The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:

the transmitter

transmits the modulation signal in the first time period using a first slot for the first channel, and

transmits the modulation signal in a third time period after the second time period using a second slot for the first channel, the second slot differing in frequency band from the first slot.

3 . The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
