Disclosed is a radio transmission device capable of improving a transmission stream error resistance and preventing lowering of a throughput of a communication system. In this device, according to the feedback information from the radio reception device, a repetition control unit (110) decides ranking of each stream, sets a higher repletion rate for a higher stream. This is instructed to repetition units (103-1 to 103-N). According to the repletion rate decided by a repletion control unit (110), the repletion units (103-1 to 103-N) subjects the stream outputted from modulation units (102-1 to 102-N) to a repetition process, and outputs it to transmission RF units (104-1 to 104-N).
