4. A communication apparatus comprising:
-
a receiving unit configured to receive data in the course of a first communication slot, a second communication slot, and a third communication slot, wherein, in the course of the first communication slot, the receiving unit receives first data, which is directly transmitted from a first other communication apparatus to the communication apparatus, wherein, in the course of the second communication slot, the receiving unit receives second data, which is obtained by performing a relay transmission of the first data in a second other communication apparatus, and wherein, in the course of the third communication slot, the receiving unit receives third data from a third other communication apparatus, the third data being obtained by performing maximum likelihood processing based on the first data transmitted in the first communication slot and the second data transmitted in the second communication slot; and a first maximum likelihood processing unit configured to perform maximum likelihood processing based on the first data received in the course of the first communication slot, the second data received in the course of the second communication slot, and the third data received in the course of the third communication slot, wherein the data received by the receiving unit includes data of each communication apparatus of the other communication apparatuses, the communication apparatus further comprising; a readout unit configured to read out data for the communication apparatus from among the data; a second maximum likelihood processing unit configured to perform maximum likelihood processing on a plurality of data read out by the readout unit; and a decoding unit configured to decode the data on which the second maximum likelihood processing unit performs maximum likelihood processing.
