A communication system is provided for communicating over a network. A plurality of transmission devices are disposed within a network and connected by transmission channels. A control device calculates initial data required during an initial operation of the transmission devices and sets the initial data to the transmission devices. The transmission devices perform reception processing using maximum likelihood sequence estimation, and the control device obtains, as the initial data, with respect to paths that are signal communication pathways between the transmission devices and in accordance with transmission states of individual paths, initial likelihood information that is initial-stage likelihood information for performing the maximum likelihood sequence estimation. |
