Transmission method and transmission device
A transmission method includes encoding processing that generates an encoded block, modulation processing that generates symbols from the encoded block, phase change processing that changes the phase of the symbols, and transmission processing that arranges the symbols in data carriers and transmits the symbols. The transmission processing configures a frame by arranging symbol groups in order in the frequency direction and transmits the frame. The symbol groups each include a symbol generated from a first encoded block and a symbol generated from a second encoded block. The phase change processing includes changing the phase of symbols the same symbol group using the same phase change value.
1. A transmission method, comprising:
encoding processing that generates a first encoded block and a second encoded block using a forward error correction coding scheme;
modulation processing that generates a plurality of first symbols and a plurality of second symbols from the first encoded block and generates a plurality of third symbols and a plurality of fourth symbols from the second encoded block;
phase change processing that changes a phase of the plurality of second symbols and the plurality of fourth symbols;
orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol generation processing that generates a first OFDM symbol by arranging the first symbols and the third symbols on data carriers of the first OFDM symbol and generates a second OFDM symbol by arranging the second symbols and the fourth symbols; and
transmitting processing that transmits the first OFDM symbol and the second OFDM symbol by using a plurality of antennas, wherein
in the first OFDM symbol, the first symbols are allocated with a predetermined period and the third symbols are allocated on data carriers adjacent to the first symbols,
in the second OFDM symbol, the second symbols are allocated with the predetermined period and the fourth symbols are allocated on data carriers adjacent to the second first symbols,
amounts of the phase change applied to the second symbols are regularly changed in a frequency direction, and
an amount of the phase change applied to each of the fourth symbols is same as that applied to each of the adjacent second symbols.
