Communicating using spread spectrum. A legacy RF signal is intercepted from a legacy radio. spread spectrum processing is performed on the legacy RF signal to create a spread signal. The spread signal is transmitted to a receiver, whereafter the spread signal is de-spread to recover the legacy RF signal.

A radio communication apparatus comprises a spreading unit and a transmitting unit. The spreading unit spreads an ACK/NACK signal or a CQI signal with a sequence defined by one of a plurality of cyclic shift values. The transmitting unit transmits the ACK/NACK signal or the CQI signal. In each symbol that forms the ACK/NACK signal or the CQI signal, the spreading unit uses one of first cyclic shift values, which form a portion of the plurality of the cyclic shift values and which are adjacent to each other, for the ACK/NACK signal, and uses one of second cyclic shift values, which are not within the portion of the plurality of the cyclic shift values, for the CQI signal. At least one cyclic shift value that is cyclically subsequent to the first cyclic shift values or the second cyclic shift values is not used for either the ACK/NACK signal or the CQI signal.
