COMMUNICATION DEVICE, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, RECEPTION METHOD, AND COMMUNICATION METHOD

摘要

A communication device used in a communication system requesting a retransmission signal when detecting an error in a received initial transmission signal, the communication device including: a reception unit which receives the initial transmission signal and the retransmission signal; a synthesis unit which synthesizes a signal based on a retransmission signal and at least one of a signal based on the retransmission signal or the initial transmission signal, when the reception unit receives the retransmission signal; and an iterative detection and decoding unit which performs signal decoding based on a signal obtained through the synthesis in the synthesis unit, thereby reducing the number of retransmissions and the number of iterations of the iteration process.
