A reception device includes: a reception unit receiving transmission signals; a splitting unit splitting received signals into real component and imaginary component; a narrowing unit narrowing down possible signal point candidates of real component of the signal and imaginary component of the signal to signal point candidates based on the real component and the imaginary component of the split received signal; a signal point candidate hypothesizing unit hypothesizing one signal point candidate of real component from the signal point candidates of real component obtained by narrowing-down and hypothesizing one signal point candidate of imaginary component from the signal point candidates of imaginary component obtained by narrowing-down; and a signal estimation value calculating unit estimating real component of the signal based on the one hypothesized real component signal point candidate and estimating imaginary component of the signal based on the one hypothesized imaginary component signal point candidate.

Reception device, reception method, and communication system

An OFDM transmission apparatus performs transmission using an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing scheme in one or a plurality of frequency bands and includes a symbol multiplexing unit to multiply a column vector containing a first number of modulated symbols generated by primary modulation in a frequency domain, by a precoding matrix having as many rows and columns as the first number to generate a multiplexed symbol group containing the first number of multiplexed symbols each containing a second number of the modulated symbols that are multiplexed, where the first number is two or more, and the second number is equal to or more than two and equal to or less than the first number; and a subcarrier allocation unit to allocate the multiplexed symbols contained in the multiplexed symbol group to different subcarriers.
