Abstract

SISO decoding of a reception signal having a scrambled symbol arrangement is realized using a process having reduced complexity. Coordinates are generated for a reference point obtained by scrambling and mapping a symbol number not a symbol reference point position. This reference point simulates transmission-side scrambling and is generated for each symbol number by a first mapping unit. Because the binary expression of a corresponding original signal number is retained, a bit likelihood calculation unit can easily calculate a bit likelihood based on the distance between the reference point and a reception signal. The calculated bit likelihood is then deinterleaved and subjected to SISO error-correcting decoding. The thus obtained bit likelihood is then reinterleaved and used to calculate a symbol probability. Soft symbols are generated through the multiplication of all the calculated symbol probabilities by corresponding reference points output by a second mapping unit similar to the first mapping unit.
