According to one embodiment, a wireless communication apparatus includes controlling circuitry and transmitter circuitry. The controlling circuitry is configured to divide data into bit strings by a unit of a first number of bits; add at least one padding bit to one of the bit strings according to a difference between a number of bits of the one of the bit strings and the first number of bits, when the one of the bit strings has a number of bits less than the first number of bits; add error correction codes to the bit strings to generate encoded blocks, wherein each of the error correction codes has a second number of bits; combine the encoded blocks to generate encoded frames; and aggregate the encoded frames to generate a transmission packet. The transmitter circuitry is configured to transmit the transmission packet.
