Relay method and relay device
View Patent ↗Disclosed is a relay method including: receiving, as input, respective reception signals by two receive antennas, the reception signals each including a reception signal resulting from multiplexing respective transmission signals transmitted by two transmission antennas in a first frequency band; performing frequency conversion on the reception signal received by one of the receive antennas so as to obtain a signal of a third frequency band; and performing frequency multiplexing on the signal having the third frequency band and the reception signal received by the other of the receive antennas.
1. A reception apparatus comprising:
an acquiring unit acquiring a first reception signal and a second reception signal each obtained by receiving a plurality of signals transmitted from a plurality of antennas at the same time at the same frequency; and
a demodulation unit demodulating the first reception signal and the second reception signal, wherein
the first reception signal is acquired by receiving a first transmission signal z1 and a second transmission signal z2, where the first transmission signal z1 and the second transmission signal z2 are generated for each of a plurality of slots by performing a precoding process that corresponds to one matrix, selected from among N matrices F[i] by hopping between the N matrices for each of the plurality of slots, on a first modulated signal s1 and a second modulated signal s2 respectively, and i is an integer no less than 0 and no greater than N−1, and N is an integer 3 or greater,
the second reception signal is acquired by receiving a first transmission signal z1 and a second transmission signal z2, where the first transmission signal z1 and the second transmission signal z2 are generated, by performing a precoding process that corresponds to one matrix selected from among a plurality of matrices based on information fed back by the reception apparatus, on a first modulated signal s1 and a second modulated signal s2, respectively,
the first transmission signal z1 and the second transmission signal z2 included in the first reception signal satisfy (z1, z2) T =F[i](s1, s2) T ,
the precoding matrices F[i] satisfy
