A transmission apparatus of the present disclosure comprises a packet generator which, in operation, generates a packet and a transmitter which, in operation, transmits the generated packet. The packet includes a legacy short training field, a legacy long training field, a legacy signal field (L-SIG), a repeated legacy signal field (RL-SIG), a first non-legacy signal field, a second non-legacy signal field, a non-legacy short training field, a non-legacy long training field and a data field, wherein the second non-legacy signal field is optionally present. The packet generator generates the packet by configuring the RL-SIG in different ways according to a presence or absence of the second non-legacy signal field in the packet.
