Transmitting apparatus and transmitting method

A transmitting method that transmits symbols, the method comprising:

• generating, with a symbol generator, a first symbol by first bit information based on a corresponding relationship associating the first bit information with a first constellation position, wherein a value of the first bit information is determined based only on whether a power value in one of an I axis direction and a Q axis direction is positive or negative;
• generating, with the symbol generator, a second symbol by the first bit information based on a corresponding relationship associating the first bit information with a second constellation position, wherein the value of the first bit information cannot be determined based only on whether a power value in one of the I axis direction and the Q axis direction is positive or negative;
• the first and the second constellation positions being different from each other;
• and
• performing repetition transmission of the generated first symbol and the generated second symbol.
