Abstract: An optical signal generation device in an optical communication system includes a control signal manager that outputs the number of information sequences and control signals, a timing manager that outputs a timing signal, signal multiplexers that generate multiplexed signal sequences by multiplexing in a time-division manner transmission information sequences and the control signals, pulse converters that convert the multiplexed signal sequences to pulse signal sequences, and transmission processing units that send transmission signal sequences whose intensities correspond to values of the pulse signal sequences. Each control signal includes an identification signal allowing each transmission information sequence to be identified, the timing signals change their values on a cycle of the minimum pulse width of the pulse signal sequences, and time positions at which values of the N timing signals vary are different from one another.

Abstract: A receiving device includes: a receiver that receives a signal including PPM symbols; a clock generator that generates a clock for sampling; an A/D converter that digital-converts the received signal; a reference position detector that detects a leading position of the PPM symbols based on data from the A/D converter; and a clock error detector that detects a clock error. The clock error detector includes: a pulse position detector that detects a pulse position in the PPM symbols based on data from the reference position detector and A/D converter; a position error calculator that calculates a deviation of the pulse position based on data from the reference position detector, A/D converter, and pulse position detector; and a clock error calculator that calculates the clock error based on data from the position error calculator. The receiving device varies a frequency of the clock based on data from the clock error calculator.

Abstract: Provided are a reception device, a reception method and a transmission reception system capable of reducing the influence of distortion in a received signal and achieving high demodulation performance without performing a computation process having a great amount of calculations.
