MIMO reception device and MIMO reception method
Provided are a MIMO transmission device and a MIMO transmission method which can improve reception quality of a response signal. A terminal ( 100 ) as the MIMO transmission device maps a first and a second element of the ACK/NACK signal vector formed from ACK/NACK signals onto a first and a second stream, respectively, and transmits the elements contained in a 2SC-FDMA symbol in a single slot. In the terminal ( 100 ), a response signal vector formation unit ( 140 ) forms [a·S ack , 0] as the ACK/NACK signal vector in a first SC-FDMA symbol and [0, a·S ack ] as an ACK/NACK signal vector in a second SC-FDMA symbol. A precoding unit ( 165 ) uses a unitary matrix to precode the ACK/NACK signal vector formed in the response signal vector formation unit ( 140 ).
