Abstract

A transmitting apparatus includes an OFDM modulator that generates a first modulation symbol by modulating a first information signal using a first modulation scheme, a signal point of the first modulated information signal being at a first position in an in-phase quadrature-phase plane. A second modulation symbol by modulating a second information signal using the first modulation scheme, and by changing a second position at which a signal point of the modulated second information signal is arranged to a third position in the in-phase quadrature-phase plane, and an OFDM modulation signal including the first modulation symbol and the second modulation symbol, wherein the OFDM modulation signal comprises a plurality of subcarriers.

Claims (29)

1. A communications apparatus comprising:

a first spreading section configured to generate a first spread spectrum signal by using a first spreading code that has a first spectrum ratio;

a second spreading section configured to generate a second spread spectrum signal by using a second spreading code that has a second spreading ratio different from the first spreading ratio;

a multiplexer configured to generate a multiplex signal by multiplexing the first and second spread spectrum signals in a same frequency band; and

a transmitter configured to wirelessly transmit the multiplex signal, said transmitter configured to transmit one of the first and second spread spectrum signals at a greater transmission power than the other.

2. A communications apparatus comprising:

a first spreading section configured to generate a first spread spectrum signal by using a first spreading code that has a first spectrum ratio;

a second spreading section configured to generate a second spread spectrum signal by using a second spreading code that has a second spreading ratio different from the first spreading ratio; and

a multiplexer configured to generate a multiplex signal by multiplexing the first and second spread spectrum signals in a same frequency band; and

a transmitter configured to wirelessly transmit the multiplex signal,

wherein the first spreading ratio is larger than the second spreading ratio; and

said transmitter is configured to transmit the first spread spectrum signal at a greater transmission power than the second spread spectrum signal.

3. A communications apparatus comprising:

a first Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM)-spreading section configured to generate a first OFDM-spread spectrum signal by using a first spreading code that has a first spreading ratio;

a second OFDM-spreading section configured to generate a second OFDM-spread spectrum signal by using a second spreading code that has a second spreading ratio different from the first spreading ratio;

a multiplexer configured to generate a multiplex signal by multiplexing the first and second OFDM-spread spectrum signals in a same frequency band; and

a transmitter configured to wirelessly transmit the multiplex signal, wherein said transmitter is configured to transmit one of the first and second OFDM-spread spectrum signals at a greater transmission power than the other.

4. The communications apparatus according to claim 3 wherein the first spreading ratio is larger than the second spreading ratio; and wherein said transmission section is configured to transmit the first OFDM-spread spectrum signal at a greater transmission power than the second OFDM-spread spectrum signal.

5. A communications method comprising:

generating, at a first spreading section, a first spread spectrum signal by using a first spreading code that has a first spreading ratio;

generating, at a second spreading section, a second spread spectrum signal by using a second spreading code that has a second spreading ratio different from the first spreading ratio;

generating, by a multiplexer, a multiplex signal by multiplexing the first and second spread spectrum signals in a same frequency band; and

wirelessly transmitting, by a transmitter, the multiplex signal, the wirelessly transmitting comprises wirelessly transmitting one of the first and second spread spectrum signals at a greater transmission power then the other.

6. A communications method comprising:

generating, at a first spreading section, a first spread spectrum signal by using a first spreading code that has a first spreading ratio;

generating, at a second spreading section, a second spread spectrum signal by using a second spreading code that has a second spreading ratio different from the first spreading ratio;

generating, by a multiplexer, a multiplex signal by multiplexing the first and second spread spectrum signals in a same frequency band; and

wirelessly transmitting, by a transmitter, the multiplex signal, wherein the first spreading ratio is larger than the second spreading ratio; and

wherein wirelessly transmitting comprises wirelessly transmitting the first spread spectrum signal at a greater transmission power than the second spread spectrum signal.
