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 (217)

1. An integrated circuit comprising:

circuitry, which, in operation, controls generating a control signal indicating whether or not to perform a precoding process on a first signal s 1 ( t ) and a second signal s 2 ( t ); and

transmitting the control signal and a plurality of transmission signals generated from the first signal s 1 ( t ) and the second signal s 2 ( t ),

wherein

in case the precoding process is performed, a first transmission signal z 1 ( t ) and a second transmission signal z 2 ( t ) of the plurality of transmission signals are generated by precoding the first signal s 1 ( t ) and the second signal s 2 ( t ) in accordance with Equation 1,

2. An integrated circuit comprising:

circuitry, which, in operation, controls

receiving a control signal and a plurality of transmission signals generated from a first signal s 1 ( t ) and a second signal s 2 ( t ), the control signal indicating whether or not a precoding process is applied on the first signal s 1 ( t ) and the second signal s 2 ( t ); and

decoding the plurality of transmission signals based on the control signal,

wherein

in case the precoding process is performed, a first transmission signal z 1 ( t ) and a second transmission signal z 2 ( t ) of the plurality of transmission signals are generated by precoding the first signal s 1 ( t ) and the second signal s 2 ( t ) in accordance with Equation 1,
