Abstract: By controlling to select encoding appropriately considering characteristics of equalization and decoding of a receiving apparatus employing a turbo equalization technology, it is possible to attain a high transmission characteristic. Information bits of two systems including a sequence which is input to a first RSC encoding unit 22 and a sequence which is input through an interleaving unit 21 to a second RSC encoding unit 23 are set for input information bits, and each of which is subjected to RSC encoding. Each encoded parity bit is input to a puncturing unit 24. Since a systematic bit obtained by the first RSC encoding unit 22 is the information bit itself, a systematic bit obtained by the second RSC encoding unit 23 is not transmitted. In the puncturing unit 24, while puncturing is applied according to a predetermined coding rate, selection of either an RSC code or a turbo code is carried out by a puncturing control unit 25.

Abstract: A transmission method according to the present invention has been conceived assuming an environment where two information source nodes independently communicate with one destination node, and thus is applicable to such a simple topology. The transmission method provides an inter-node cooperation relationship which provides a sufficient advantageous effect even in an environment in which there is a difference in the power levels of the received signals that reach the address node via two routes. The transmission method is performed by a node U1 (40) and a node U2 that is located closer to the node D (60) than the node U1 (40) to transmit signals to a node D (60) which iteratively detects a log likelihood ratio between mutually corresponding pairs of bits included in the signals at constellation points.

Abstract: A clipping rate is controlled in spectrum shaping according to a propagation path to thereby improve transmission characteristics and perform communication at a stable transmission rate. Propagation path characteristics are detected by a propagation path information detection unit 5 for detecting propagation path information fed back from a base station device and a water filling principle for distributing energy by a primary spectrum shaping unit 6 according to the propagation path characteristics is applied to transmission spectrum obtained by a DFT unit 4. Clipping information in secondary spectrum shaping fed back from the base station device is detected by a clipping information detection unit 7 to perform the secondary spectrum shaping by a secondary spectrum shaping unit 8. At this time, with the clipping rate by the secondary spectrum shaping unit 8, clipping rates of all transmission devices multiplexed in a scheduling unit 26 of the base station device are controlled adaptively.

Abstract: To provide a system that can accommodate a greater number of terminals within a limited band and can obtain a higher transmission rate. While the number of frequency signals (spectrums) output in parallel by performing a spread spectrum from the DFT unit of each terminal is 12, the number of sub-carriers constituting one sub-channel is set at 10 or 11. In this case, the users (users A and G) allocated to the sub-channels at both ends of the band will not perform transmission of one frequency signal at the end (one sub-carrier) of all the frequency signals output from the DFT unit, whereas the users (users B to F) allocated to the other sub-channels will not perform transmission of the frequency signals at the ends (two sub-carriers). This transmission can be realized by deleting (clipping) the associated number of signals from both ends or from one end of the frequency signals output from the DFT unit of each terminal and allocating the frequency signals after clipping, to individual sub-channels.
