Abstract: A receiving unit (2020) generates a received frame from a modulated optical signal. The modulated optical signal is generated such that a transmission symbol is generated by mapping an encoded bit string obtained by encoding a transmission bit string to an m-dimensional symbol space, a transmission frame is generated by mapping the transmission symbol to an n-dimensional frame space (n<m), and an optical carrier wave is modulated by using the transmission frame. A converting unit (2040) generates candidate vectors (m-dimensional vectors belonging to a partial symbol space within the symbol space) by using a received frame. A first computing unit (2070) computes a probability of that the transmission symbol belonging to the partial symbol space is transmitted for each partial symbol space. A second computing unit (2080) computes a log-likelihood ratio of each bit of the encoded bit string by using the probability.
