Radio communication apparatus and radio communication method
View Patent ↗Provided is a radio communication device which can make Acknowledgement (ACK) reception quality and Negative Acknowledgement (NACK) reception quality to be equal to each other. The device includes: a scrambling unit ( 214 ) which multiplies a response signal after modulated, by a scrambling code “1” or “e −j(π/2) ” so as to rotate a constellation for each of response signals on a cyclic shift axis; a spread unit ( 215 ) which performs a primary spread of the response signal by using a Zero Auto Correlation (ZAC) sequence set by a control unit ( 209 ); and a spread unit ( 218 ) which performs a secondary spread of the response signal after subjected to the primary spread, by using a block-wise spread code sequence set by the control unit ( 209 ).
