Abstract

A transmission scheme for transmitting a first modulated signal and a second modulated signal in the same frequency at the same time. According to the transmission scheme, a precoding weight multiplying unit multiplies a precoding weight by a baseband signal after a first mapping and a baseband signal after a second mapping and outputs the first modulated signal and the second modulated signal. In the precoding weight multiplying unit, precoding weights are regularly hopped.

Claims (8250)

1 . A precoding method for generating, from a plurality of signals which are based on a selected modulation scheme and represented by in-phase components and quadrature components, a plurality of precoded signals that are transmitted in the same frequency bandwidth at the same time and transmitting the generated precoded signals, the precoding method comprising:

selecting one precoding weight matrix from among a plurality of precoding weight matrices by regularly hopping between the matrices; and

generating the plurality of precoded signals by multiplying the selected precoding weight matrix by the plurality of signals which are based on the selected modulation scheme, the plurality of precoding weight matrices being nine matrices expressed, using a positive real number α, as Equations 339 through 347.

16 . A transmission device that generates, from a plurality of signals which are based on a selected modulation scheme and represented by in-phase components and quadrature components, a plurality of precoded signals that are transmitted in the same frequency bandwidth at the same time and transmits the generated precoded signals, wherein

the transmission device selects one precoding weight matrix from among a plurality of precoding weight matrices by regularly hopping between the matrices and generates the plurality of precoded signals by multiplying the selected precoding weight matrix by the plurality of signals which are based on the selected modulation scheme, the plurality of precoding weight matrices being 18 matrices expressed, using a positive real number α, as Equations 387 through 404.
