Abstract: A transmitting station includes a fragmentation unit, a packet number allocation unit, an encryption unit, a wireless signal processing unit, and a retransmission control unit. The fragmentation unit divides data into fragments. The packet number allocation unit allocates a first packet number to the fragments. The encryption unit encrypts the fragments on the basis of the first packet number. The wireless signal processing unit transmits the fragments encrypted as a wireless signal to a receiving station. When retransmitting the data, the retransmission control unit instructs the packet number allocation unit to reset the first packet number to an initial value, requests the receiving station to reset a second packet number managed by the receiving station to an initial value for decryption of the fragments encrypted, and instructs the fragmentation unit to reconfigure an unsuccessfully transmitted fragment.
