Abstract: Disclosed are an error-detecting encoding apparatus for creating parity bits by error-detecting encoding processing, appending the parity bits to an input data string and encoding the data string, and an error-detecting decoding apparatus for detecting error using these parity bits. Data segmenting means segments an input data string, which is to undergo error-detecting encoding, into a plurality of sub-data strings, dividing means divides the segmented sub-data strings by a polynomial, which is for generating an error-detecting code, and calculates remainders, converting means applies conversion processing, which conforms to a segmentation position of the sub-data strings, to the remainders on a per-remainder basis, and combining means combines converted values, which have been obtained by the conversion processing, and outputs parity bits. An encoder appends this parity to a data string, and a decoder detects error using this parity.

Abstract: In a mobile communication system for authenticating a communicating party when communication is performed between a mobile terminal and a device on the side of a network, the mobile terminal, upon receiving a request signal requesting operation execution from the network device, sends the network device an authentication request signal in order to determine whether the request signal is a request signal from an authorized network device, and performs an authentication operation. The network device executes an authentication operation based upon the authentication request signal received from the mobile terminal and sends a result of the authentication operation to the mobile terminal.

Abstract: A transmission circuit transmits a connection request including a “signature” to a base station. The demodulator demodulates the AICH for transmitting a notification corresponding to the connection request. When requested communications are enabled, the AICH transmits the “signature”. A multiplier multiplies a demodulation signal by the “signature”. A voltage computation unit converts the output of the multiplier into a voltage value. An integrator integrates the voltage value computed by the voltage computation unit for each received symbol for the respective symbols corresponding to the “signature”. A threshold generation unit adaptively selects one of a threshold determined based on the noise of a transmission path or a threshold determined based on the receiving power. If the output of the integrator is larger than the selected threshold, it is determined that the communications have been enabled.
