An apparatus for communication in a wireless communication network comprises a coder that encodes a set of data symbols to produce a set of coded symbols; a modulator that modulates the coded symbols onto a set of subcarrier frequencies to generate a time-domain signal comprising a sum of a set of modulated pulse waveforms; and a transmitter configured for transmitting the time-domain signal in the wireless communication network.

It is possible to improve the CQI reception performance even when a delay is caused in a propagation path, a transmission timing error is caused, or a residual interference is generated between cyclic shift amounts of different ZC sequences. For the second symbol and the sixth symbol of the ACK/NACK signal which are multiplexed by RS of CQI, (+, +) or (−, −) is applied to a partial sequence of the Walsh sequence. For RS of CQI transmitted from a mobile station, + is added as an RS phase of the second symbol and − is added as an RS phase of the sixth symbol. A base station (100) receives multiplexed signals of ACK/NACK signals and CQI signals transmitted from a plurality of mobile stations. An RS synthesis unit (119) performs synthesis by aligning the RS phase of CQI.
