Transmitter, receiver, and communication method
First Claim
1. A transmission apparatus comprising:
- an encoding section that encodes information bits using organizing codes to generate systematic bits and parity bits;
a generation section that places a systematic bit identical to a systematic bit in a preceding retransmission unit and a parity bit different from a parity bit in the preceding retransmission unit in mutually different symbols to generate a packet; and
a transmission section that transmits said packet.

Abstract
Separation circuit 250 separates a systematic bit and parity bit from a received packet. Combination circuit 204 symbol-combines the separated systematic bit in this retransmission unit with systematic bits acquired in preceding retransmission units. Then, decoder 214 likelihood-combines the separated parity bit with parity bits acquired in preceding retransmission units and performs error correcting decoding on the symbol-combined systematic bit using the likelihood-combined parity bit as a check bit. This makes it possible to increase the reception level and error correcting performance, reduce the number of times retransmission is carried out until all errors are eliminated and thereby improve throughput.
