Radio communications apparatus and radio communications method

Abstract

The invention performs orthogonal frequency division multiplex processing on a transmission signal to form an OFDM modulation signal (daubed in FIG.) and performs orthogonal frequency division multiplex processing and code division multiple access processing on a transmission signal to form an OFDM-CDM modulation signal (shaded in FIG.) to transmit the OFDM modulation signal and the OFDM-CDM modulation signal, which makes it possible to transmit data in a very high rate using the OFDM modulation signal while making it possible to transmit data in a higher quality using the OFDM-CDM modulation signal than using the OFDM—modulation signal, although it is slightly inferior to OFDM modulation in terms of high rate transmission.
