Communication device and communication method
An identification provider provides predetermined identification data to an input signal, and generates a first signal. A differential encoder performs a differential encoding of a data series that is an aggregate of data having a matching number of elements to that contained in the first signal, and generates a second signal. A modulator modulates each of the first and second signals using a primary modulation, and generates first and second modulated data. An IFFT calculator performs an inverse fast Fourier transformation on each of the first and second modulated data, and generates first and second inverse transformed data. A selector compares peak-to-average power ratios calculated by baseband signals associated with the first and second inverse transformed data, and selects a baseband signal having the lower peak-to-average power ratio. A transmitter generates a transmission signal based on the selected baseband signal, and transmits the transmission signal.
