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 (242)

1. A signal processing method comprising:

acquiring a reception signal based on a plurality of precoded signals z1 and z2;

demodulating the reception signal in accordance with a transmission scheme of the plurality of precoded signals z1 and z2;

performing error-correction decoding on the demodulated signal; and

acquiring audio data from the error-correction decoded signal, and externally outputting the audio data, wherein

the plurality of precoded signals z1 and z2 are transmitted in the same frequency bandwidth at the same time, the plurality of precoded signals z1 and z2 are generated by (i) selecting one matrix from among N matrices F[i] by regularly hopping between the N matrices F[i] which are each selected at least once within a predetermined time period H and (ii) multiplying the selected matrix by two baseband signals s1 and s2 that are represented by in-phase components and quadrature components, where N is an integer 1 or greater and less than H, and i is an integer from 0 to N−1,

the N matrices F[i] are two-by-two matrices that satisfy a first condition, a second condition, and a third condition,

the first condition is that x is an integer from 0 to N−1, y is an integer from 0 to N−1, and with respect to all x and all y satisfying x≠y, F[x]≠F[y] holds,
