Abstract

A coding apparatus capable of preventing deterioration in demodulation performance without increasing interfering power. In the apparatus, a turbo coding section ( 100 ) performs turbo coding on transmission data, and outputs systematic bits and parity bits. A selecting section ( 200 ) selects either of two parity bit sequences output from the turbo coding section ( 100 ) to output to a mapping section ( 300 - 2 ). Another mapping section ( 300 - 1 ) modulates the systematic bits and performs symbol mapping. The mapping section ( 300 - 2 ) modulates the parity bits and performs symbol mapping. At this time, mapping sections ( 300 - 1 and 300 - 2 ) perform modulation in modulation schemes instructed from a modulation scheme instructing section ( 500 ). The modulation scheme instructed to the mapping section ( 300 - 2 ) is different from the modulation scheme instructed to another mapping section ( 300 - 1 ).
