  • Patent number: 9294251
    Abstract: The receiving device receives a transmitted signal from a transmitting device by dividing by N the spectrum of a signal to be transmitted and performing spectrum editing to reduce its occupied bands. The receiving device generates a first decoded signal by error-correcting and decoding this received signal in the bandwidth of the signal to be transmitted, and generates a transmission replica signal from this first decoded signal and divides by N the spectrum of this transmission replica signal to generate N sub-replicas. The receiving device generates a compensated received signal by restoring the spectrum of the signal to be transmitted from the transmitting device using the N sub-replicas and the received signal, and decodes this compensated received signal to generate a second decoded signal.

  • Patent number: 8792359
    Abstract: A communication system employs a transmitting device and a receiving device. The transmitting device allocates certain data, based on transmission data, to both a non-superposed band, corresponding to a frequency band with no interference signal present, and a superposed band, corresponding to a frequency band where an interference signal is present. Alternatively, the transmitting device allocates the data to the non-superposed band while giving a higher priority to the non-superposed band. The transmitting device then generates and transmits a multicarrier signal based on the allocation, so that the receiving device can receive it.
