Abstract

Radio-communication-system includes transmitting-station and receiving-station. The transmitting-station includes first-encoding-unit configured to generate plural parity-information by using the different-data, second-encoding-unit configured to encode each of the plural parity-information and each of the different-data to produce plural encoded-data, modulation-unit configured to modulate carriers by the plural encoded-data to generate plural modulated-signals, and multiplex-unit configured to multiplex the plural modulated-signals for outputting a multiplexed-signal. The receiving-station includes demultiplex-unit configured to demultiplex the multiplexed-signal transmitted from the transmitting-station into the plural modulated-signals, demodulation-unit configured to demodulate each of the modulated-signals demultiplexed by the demultiplex-unit to produce plural demodulated-signals, first-decoding-unit configured to decode each of the demodulated-signals according to a decoding-scheme corresponding to an encoding-scheme of the second-encoding-unit to produce plural decoded-signals, and second-decoding-unit configured to decode each of the decoded-signals according to a decoding-scheme corresponding to an encoding-scheme of the first-encoding-unit to obtain the different-data.
