Transmitting apparatus receiving apparatus and re-transmission control method

Excessive quality in the receiving apparatus is controlled to obtain the combined gain by distinctively controlling the re-transmission for the first transmission. A transmitting apparatus for transmitting the data to a receiving apparatus to execute regeneration of data using, for example, the received data and the re-transmitted data, comprises a control unit (10) operable to receive (26) an indication that an error has been detected in received data transmitted in a first transmission, to re-transmit the data in a second transmission, and to control resources (11 to 25) for re-transmission of the data to use fewer resources for the second transmission than for the first transmission.
