There is provided a wireless transmitting device, the reception quality of which can be improved by effectively using the cyclic prefix. In the wireless transmitting device, a data mapping determination unit (204) determines a data mapping method according to tmax information, and a data mapping unit (207) performs data mapping on the signals outputted from modulation units (205, 206) according to the data mapping method determined by the data mapping determination unit (204). The data mapping determination unit (204) acquires the tmax information transmitted from a communication party and determines to map important information, such as of a control channel, a systematic bit, a resending bit, ACK/NACK information (ACK or NACK), a CQI (Channel Quality Indicator), a TFCI (Transport Format Combination Indicator), information necessary for modulation, a pilot, a power control bit, etc., on the data from its tail end to the portion corresponding to (TGI-tmax).
