A transmission apparatus including: a layer multiplexing unit configured to assign, to a radio resource which is divided based on a time, a frequency and a layer, a bit sequence which constitutes at least one information source to be transmitted, in accordance with a communication state and a priority level of the information source; and a layer coding unit configured to perform a layer coding processing for the bit sequence assigned to the radio resource. The layer multiplexing unit performs the assignment so that a length of each bit sequence assigned to each radio resource becomes equivalent.

Transmission apparatus and transmission method

The object of the present invention is to achieve reduction of interference between cells and improvement of maximum throughput so as to improve spectrum efficiency. A wireless base station which transmits a radio signal between itself and a plurality of mobile stations by means of OFDMA includes: a multiplexing part for generating user data; a channel assignment control part for selecting a plurality sets of sub-carriers among a plurality of sub-carriers so as to constitute a radio frame containing sub-channels assigned to each of the plurality sets of sub-carriers and for setting in the radio frame the user data and control data by means of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing; and a transmission part for transmitting a radio signal containing the radio frame; where, the channel assignment control part is constituted so that the radio frame is divided into 2 zones for the control and user data and all the sub-channels in the zone for control data are divided into groups for each of sectors; the control data is allocated on the corresponding divided groups; and the user data is allocated on all the sub-channels in the zone for user data.
