1. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program for a computer to execute a transmission method, the transmission method comprising:
generating first modulated symbols s1 and second modulated symbols s2 of at least two contents by encoding and mapping the at least two contents;
performing N signal processes on the first modulated symbols s1 and the second modulated symbols s2 in N respective slots to generate first transmission symbols z1 and second transmission symbols z2, N being an integer greater than two, each of the N signal processes being repeated every N slots;
generating first OFDM symbols based on the first transmission symbols z1 and first control symbols, the first control symbols including first control information to be used in demodulation;
generating second OFDM symbols based on the second transmission symbols z2 and second control symbols, the second control symbols including second control information to be used in demodulation;
inserting pilot symbols into the first OFDM symbols and the second OFDM symbols, a pilot symbol being different from a control symbol; and
transmitting, at a same frequency band and time, the first OFDM symbols and the second OFDM symbols from a first antenna and a second antenna, respectively after the pilot symbols are inserted, wherein
the N signal processes are not performed on the first control symbols or the second control symbols.
