This transmission-side device comprises: a grouping means (11A) that splits an information bit string, and thereby generates a plurality of information bit groups having different degrees of significance; an encoding means (12A) that individually encodes each of the information bit groups in accordance with an encoding rate that has been set according to the corresponding degree of significance, while maintaining the overall encoding rate of the plurality of information bit groups at a target encoding rate; and a concatenating means (13A) that concatenates the plurality of encoded bit groups which have been obtained by individually encoding the plurality of information bit groups, and thereby generates an encoded bit string. |
