Transmission apparatus and transmission method
In a transmission apparatus, signal carrier signal circuitry that generates two single carrier signals including a legacy preamble signal, a legacy header signal and an extension header signal respectively. OFDM signal circuitry that generates one OFDM signal by performing an IFFT processing on one or more payload signals. Transmission circuitry that transmits the two single carrier signals by allocating to a bonding channel which is formed by bonding two adjacent channels used in a bonding transmission scheme and the one OFDM signal by allocating to the bonding channel which is frequency-shifted.
