Publication number: 20080225927Abstract: In a transmission method of the present invention, when transmitting an information bit from a transmitter to a receiver, an encoder of the transmitter firstly inputs and encodes the information bit, and a modulator then modulates the encoded information bit to create a modulation symbol. A spreader spreads the obtained modulation symbol using a rotation orthogonal code having a rotation angle that is appropriate to a combination of the modulation method and the coding rate, and transmits it to a transmission path. The receiver performs a reverse operation of the transmitter, and decodes the information bit. In QPSK modulation where the coding rate of an error-correction code is ½, when a rotation angle that obtains a same signal point as OFDM is 0°, spreading is performed using a rotation orthogonal code having a rotation angle of between 17° and 45°, or between ?17° and ?45°, thereby reducing bit error and enabling highly-reliable communication to be achieved.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2008Publication date: September 18, 2008Applicant: KDDI CorporationInventors: Noriaki Miyazaki, Toshinori Suzuki, Fumio Watanabe
