Solution Approach 1:

The error correction coded block is divided into multiple segments that are allocated to different fundamental bands. This segmentation allows the system to transmit data across multiple frequency channels, thereby improving frequency diversity while maintaining the increased transmission capacity provided by multiple fundamental bands.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a new dimension of frequency diversity by allocating code components across multiple fundamental bands rather than within a single band. This dimensional expansion from single-band to multi-band transmission enables the system to achieve both high capacity and improved frequency diversity.

AI summary

A transmission device that performs multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission of transmit data using a plurality of fundamental bands. The transmission device includes an error correction coding unit, a mapping unit, and a MIMO coding unit. The error correction coding unit, for each data block of predefined length, performs error correction coding and thereby generates an error correction coded frame. The mapping unit maps each predefined number of bits in the error correction coded frame to a corresponding symbol and thereby generates an error correction coded block. The MIMO coding unit performs MIMO coding with respect to the error correction coded block. Components of data included in the error correction coded block are allocated to at least two of the fundamental bands and transmitted.
